Sharing la JKcnit, The earliest wfVrraco to shaving of the beard Is found In Genesl3 adl, 14, j wbere we read that Joseph on being Kiitnmoned before the king shaved 1 , iisclf. There ore several references I. to shaving in Leviticus, nnd the j ictlce Is allnded to in many other parts of the Bible. However, Egypt a the only country mentioned in the B. Io where shaving was practiced. In all other countries at that time such an act would have been consid ered ignominious. llerodotns men tions that thq Egyptians allowed the!? beards to grow when they were la mourning. So particular were they as to shaving nt all other times that to have neglected It was to make one self tho butt of coarse and ridiculous jokes. -Even in ihfl day and age when the Egyptian wants to ctfnvey the idea of a man of low conditioa and;sloven ly habits he always pU'tt&es, to you a man with a full beard. This notion Is very ancient a fact attested by works of art fonnlte burial 'jnoau ments dating back tbouaandis of years. 1 Soothers Harope. A f raveler writes: "fhave often been struck by the case wittf which people in southern Europe are amused. In Paris lOO.OoQ people go out to. Long- cbarnps fpr the Grand Prix race, and half a million people go out and line i -the roads on their return to see tbera come back. In Rome at the, feast of the "Dlvjno Amore 5,000 people go out oa the Capipagna to a spot where once stood a temple to Venus and hold a picnic, while 50,000 go out and line tho Applan way to see them return. In Madrid this peculiarity Is even more marked. On the Poerta del Sol about a thousand people stand around and do nothing outdoors, while crowd of peo ple sit indoors or lean from balconies to watcli them da It, And- in Seville the Idle rich sit in clubs and cafes on the Sterpcs to watch th lower classes walk by, while the lower dawes walk by to watch the Idle rich sfttlsg la tie cjabs aaft cafes on the &terpea." i KMdtea; the Ue, How Jong will it take a persoa to read the Old Testament with its S02, 4 words, or the .181,253 words of the New Testament? And bow long to read the 773,092 words of both? A man can read understanding 100 wards every minute. By hurry Is a ssen can read lO words, or probably more. I will assume that a man can read critically that Is, carefully and BBaeratandiugly at least sixty words a -minute. That Is slow reading, being only 3.000 words on bonr. Suppose a man sbonld devote an hour a day to tee Bible. At this rate he would read 108,060 worfla in thirty days. Or 'In a month's time. He would therefore read he OW Testament In leas than six months, and he wonld finish tho New Testa meat la leas than twe months, Haattesr on TrMafcecewi Sell.

O. S. Moredenin Success. -Dolly Mndlaon, There nro inanv stories told of tbo tetct and kindliness of Mistress Dolly MnJlson when she was the first lady Of the land. Her rajdy wit saved from confusion many a visitor to tho White House who was not acccstomcd to b wajV of polilo society. One of the most amusing of the sto ries' Is the tale ot a country lad nt a White House reception who was sur prised In tho midst of his enjoyment of a cup of coffco by tho approach of his hostess. In bis confusion tho poor boy dropped bis saucer and thrust the cup Into his pocket Mistress Dolly, wboalthongh her eyes were keen nnd searching, never saw anything that it was not Intended she aheald see, chatted away with her guest so pleasantly of tho weather, the oiwd, and, finally, of the young man's metier, whom she had known or heard off that he recovered from ils embar rassment and was soon at, case and ready to accept tho fresh cop of coffee Wk4chhls, hostess ordered, despite a earara-'curious.ana uncxpiainea nmge In his pocket Fire Horse aa leta.

In nearly every engine bouse each of the stalls bears tho namo of the horse eeeapyiag it largo black letters on alamlnlum marking the quarters of Tern, Harry. Dick or Major, as tho case may be. The firemen are proud of their dumb friends and not only do everything possible to make them com fortable when they are off duty, but talie pleasure in providing them with little luxuries nnd tidbits,. Loaf sugar, Bougafr and other candles are pur chased by ono fireman; or another In each -engine house almost every day, ad passers by may often see the heiees eating tho sweets from the 'feaade of their men friends.

' A qnlck and easy way to slip a rod Ui rough curtains Is toVaro the end ot the rod. put a, thimble on tho cud, nnd tho rod will slip through qulto easily Without touring thecurtain. To prevent wllvdowa-from Btcrtinlna clean thorn thoroughly aud apply a small quantity ot glycerin over the polish With n soft cloth. Hub briskly nnd lightly until tho glycerin is well rubbed In, To prevent portieres catching under; nenth tho door when, opened quickly screw a small ring such as Is Used for picture frames Into tho center ot tho door framo. To this fasten a length of blind cord sulllcl6nt to reach to the bot tom of tho curtain. Put another ring in tho center of tho door nt tho top, thread the cord'through nnd fnsten to the hot torn ot the curtain, nnd as tho door to opened so tho curtain rises. Do not throw old lncnndcscent man ties away. They mnko n splendid pol ish foe stiver. Put n llttto on a soft dnetcr and rub on tho article to bo cleaned. It will polish beautifully without scratching or marking tho sli ver. Before cleaning out a fireplace sprln kle a good handful of tea leaves among the ashes. This makes the ashes lift easier and prevents tho dust from fly ing about the room. When machining soft nintcrlnft such as nllks or muslins pin or tack strips of papor along the parts to bo machined po that the papor la next to the teeth of tho. sewing machine and tho work up permost Then tho material will not ruck or gather, as it othorwlso would.

How e Waah a Lace Collar, To wash a laco collar first sew the lace with long stitches upon a double thickness of white flannel, plunge Into warm soapsuds and wash, then rlaai in clear water tp which a llttto bosac and bluing havoxbecn added. GenMf squeeze in tho hand, place between dry flannel and press till dry wth a bet iron. How to Draw u OtI. f Take two stout pins nnd stick tbaat firmly Into tho table through tho sheas of paper on which you wish to draar tho oval, about two Inches, opart Then tie together tho ends of n bit of strifcjf about eight luches long so ns to form'a loop, leaving two looso ends, each about an inch long. When you hart donor this tie the looso ends into a smaller loop, which need not bo larger than sufficient to admit tho point of a pencil. Now place tho larger loop over the two pins and, putting tho point o your pencil through tho smaller loop; stretch the string ns far as It will and circle all around tho pins. You will find that in moving from ono pin to the other the string forms an over varyla trlanglo and that tho figure described in passing nil around tho pins is aa pot feet an oval as tho most delicate instr1 snent can produce.
