King Who Never Shaved.
rom the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The classic case of king who knew
better than to let anybody else shave
him is that of Dionysius the Elder,
tyrant of Syracuse. who appears to
have been unable to shave himself; for
he Is said to have resorted to the I'M
comfortable device of smuggling off his
beard with hot walnut shells. We may
suspect that Napoleon's was another
case of the kind. Rogers asked Talley-
rand whether Napoleon shaved himself.
YES" replied Talleyrand: "one born to
but they who acquire KINGDOMS snse sh ham
themselves" That way of putting it
pleasantly emphasizes the practical SUI
periority of the parvenu to the help
less spoiled child of heredity: but the
prudence probably entered into the
matter also. if Talleyrand's statement
was correct.

but maybe 1t will cause serious think

Because the doctors tell US that most
folks go about spreading disease of
one sort or another, and that at the
same time they are breathing in con-
tagion. The greater part of the popu-
lation, in brief. Is engaged in swapping
diseases, one man passing on to others
his particular contagious ailment and
getting in reurn from them varied
assortment of germs. If the average
man were really hygienic, now. he

world that would balk the efforts of
other folks cast-o6 germs to get into
his system through his nose, and would
present the distribution Of germs that
leave him by way of his mouth.
