reason why it has so long been p<<;
it is a style of beard that was inv
iiy King Henry iii, of France, li re-
quires less trimming and care than am
other, and therefore in this busy coun-
try it has been widely adopted. But it
must go.
The new beard resembles tho one now
about to be discarded in some respects.
!t is like a pointed beard with the point
cut oil. It is very thin and closely cut
on the cheeks, it is a peculiar fact that
the adoption of' this style after discard-
ing the other is but a repetition of his-
tory. After Henry lii had made the
pointed beard so fashionable the Due de
Guise introduced the present beard.
The Due de Guise, as you will remem-
ber, was the instigator of tho Huguenot
massacre on St. Bartholomew's Day. Ilc-
lived in the .Sixteenth century and was
assassinated in his forty-third year.—

A letter from one of the soldiers
on the Yorktown at Yalpraiao. says
they are badly treated, and that if
they show any disposition to kick
they aro forthwith courtmartialed
aud sent to prison for inciting mu-
tiny, and that tae courtmartial sits
at the dinner table, has the verdict

farce. W itii such treatment of the
soldiers is it any wonder that Amer-
ican libertv lovers should kick.
Fibrolla.
it is reported that tho proposed use of
fibrelia. as it is termed—mado from com-
mon flax straw—as a substitute for cot-
ton, is receiving serious consideration
iiy the process of production the mate-
rial referred to is reduced to a short
staple, very closely resembling cotton or
wool, and, it i.s claimed, well adapted for
use with either in tho manufacture of
i goods by the machinery now in use, and
would ho little fault to find with the |
metaphor beyond its audacity. In a
down town district, but a short time
ago, land sold for #00,000 per frontage

ing $100,000. Up town, in a choice neigli- j .,

use. Tho ti brous manufacturers are con -
when so used i.s said to add materially
to the value of tho product.
It. is the opinion of experts who have
investigated the matter that woolen
cotton manufacturers aro among
>se to be especially advantaged by the
borhood, about the same time, $50,000
was the price paid for a frontage of
20 feet by 100 feet in depth. Thus have

Tiie Greenville Banner utters the
following truism: "One thing to be
said in Grover Cleveland's favor is
that he never was a policy man.
Whether people have agreed with
him or not, they haye usually ad-

character. But just at present the
political trimmers seem to be in the
lead. _
The Cleburne Chronicle states
that several years ago the democ-
racy, in convention assembled,
passed a resolution favoring the
election of United States senators
by a popular vote, and that there
has been no material change iu pub-
lic sentiment upon this subject that
it is aware of.
A Churchyard Garden.
in Berlin there appears to be little rev-
erence for the dead. The old cholera
churchyard of 1831, which afterward
became a cemetery for the poor, has long
been neglected, though there have been
funerals there during the last ten years.
The place is now to be changed. In the
lower part of the churchyard, where a
new church is to be built, the graves
have been opened and the skeletons and
remains of coffins taken out to be buried
in a general grave higher up, where it is
intended to make a public garden.
On the upper part of the churchyard
two schools are being built. Other por-
tions of tho ground will l>e sold for
building purposes, though it does not
seem a very healthy site for human
abodes.—London News.

An Kmpre*!*1 Good Work.
The young empress of China, contrary
to all traditional customs, is taking a
prominent place in public life. Form-
erly no one was permitted to appear on
the road traversed by her majesty under
penalty of death. Now the emperor per-
mits his subjects to line the streets when
he and his consort travel and to approach
them with petitions, to which they listen
in the kindest manner. The young em-
press has commanded the custom of sac-
rificing human beings in order to propi-
tiate the Goddess of Silk Culture to cease.
And she has assisted in planting mul-
berry trees in the forecourt of the temple
where the sacrifices once took place.—

Fading Red Clouil.
Old Red Cloud, who was deposed from
his position as chief of the Sioux to
make room for A merican Horse, a young-
er man, is now a pitiful spectacle, it is
said. He frequently visits the Chadron
agency and weeps and wails about his
fall from power. He is now rapidly go-
ing blind, and seems to be dying from a
broken heart. His aged squaw remains
faithful to him, and he is popular with
the Sioux nation.—Exchange.
Pears'
Soap
People have no idea how
crude and cruel soap can be.
It takes off dirt. So far,
so good; but what else does
it do?
It cuts the skin and frets
the under-skin; makes red-
ness and roughness and
leads to worse. Not soap,
but the alkali in it.
Pears' Soap has no free,
alkali in it. It neither red-
dens nor roughens the skin.
It responds to water in-
stantly ; washes and rinses
off in a twinkling; is as
gentle as strong; and the
after-effect is every way
good.
All sorts of stores sell it,
especially druggists; all sorts
of people use it.
The discovery of immense fields of
