Big Men in Egypt and Bad to Work Over- Time, Going In om Place to Place. The cult of the beard, according to the Garden 01" Eden. Adam, they tell us, was several miles in height, and was furnished with aprodigious‘beard, which reached to his middle. The an- cientI Jews, presumably on account of this believed Edenic origin, held the heard in such esteem that they consid- ered it a greater insult to seize a man by the beard than ’to tread on his corns. :They cherished the hair on their faces as the callow youth of to- day does his adolescent mustache, trimmed it in‘ various forms, perfumed it with odorous substances, and cut it only as .a sign of great affliction. So far did they carry their veneration for its dignity that laws were actually passed regarding the manner of its wearing. The barber’s lot was a happy one in the land of Egypt, where the people had such a high regard for the tonso- rial art that the majority of the men shaved not only the face, but the entire head, and capped theii bald pa'tes with wigs, while Ithe priests went even fu1- ther and shaved the entire body every third day. With this constant scrap—. ing of chins going on, the barber’s trade was an important one in the home of the Pharaohs, and its follow- ers were kept busily running through- out the length and breadth of the land from early morning until sunset. They carried their tools in an open—mouthed basket, and their razors were shaped like a small hatchet, with a curved handle.———Lippincott’s Magazine. “ Chimmie Fadden’s” Author. “Chimmie Fadden” is closely associ- ated with the man who wrote him up, and Mr. Edward W. Townsend origi- nated him. “Chimmie” was not the Parisian gamin, nor was "he the New York street Arab; he was endowed with traits which were quite his own. Mr. Edward W. Townsend came from the West not so many years ago, and gave his services to a New York journal. Very soon the strength and cleverness of his work were noted by an editor, EDWARDIW. TOWNSEND. now lately deceased, and one who nev- er made any mistakes as to the quality of the men who wrote £01 him. Mr, Townsend became familiar with the. tenement districts in this great city, racteis are found, and lifelike and vig- orous is his portraiture of them. “A Daughter of the Tenements” had a dis- tinguished sucCess, but not more than it merited. His latest book is called- “Near a Whole City Full,” which is a collection of short stories, and their in- cisive cleverness will be certain to make this last venture of Mr. Town- send a highly popular one. His Responsibility. A Sioux City fatherwas going on a short business trip, and, as he kissed his seven-year-old son good-by, he said to him: “Now, Challes, take good care of mamma while I’m gone.’ The responsibility thus 1nt1usred to the young man evidently weighed heav- ier on his mind that one would hating ally expect, says the Journal, for one evening a short time afterward, as he, lay on the floor, with half-closed eyes, lhe rather startled his mother by in- quiring: “Mamma, doesn’t God take care of you?” . , “Why, yes, my dear,” replied the wondering mother. “Why do ,you ask?” 1 The little guardian heaved a sigh of relief, and answered: “Oh, because I’ m tired!”—I-Golden Days. ______ Quicker Than It Takes to Tell ‘It.’ Traveler—Can you direct me to H01- low Meadows?

His plan, it is said, was to purchase oats or hay in one city and order them delivered in another. Then, police say, he would go to the bank to which the bill of lading was: sent, and, after inspecting it, wobld forge another bill, on which he would secure cash. THE PRESIDENT IS ANXIOUS.
