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.

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

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,

One of the most amusing of the sto

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
