Be was married in a small town in M l ryland and arrived there the morn­ ing before the ceremony after a dash across the continent One of the things be carried with him Into the town waa a thick but uuornamental growth of whiskers, and one thing be did not have was a razor. His search for a barber resulted In the discovery of the only one In town, an old negro who bad been imbibing too rn-ely for several days. As a re­ sult of Intemperance the tonsorial art­ ist was shaking like an aapen leaf In a gale. "Look here!” said Hammond. “Yon are going to shave me. If you so much as make a nick tn my face i’ll cut your tliroatl If you don't cut me I’ll give you |5." Tbe barber, after much effort, agony and tremor, finished tbe shave success­ fully.

The real ex­ planation waa simple.

An Attentive Class. The College of France, founded in Paris by Francis L. offers at the pres­ ent day not only strictly academic in­ struction, but opportunities for the higher education In general. The fol­ lowing anecdote from the Colour of Paris shows bow far the college car­ ries Its scrupulousness. Every sclen- tlflc subject, even the most abstruse, will continue to be taught there as long SS one solitary Individual in all Europe desires to pursue IL Certain courses are followed by two or three persons only. They tell the story of a professor of mathematics. This pro­ fessor. who waa extremely absent­ minded. bad lectured for a whole year to only one pupil. He was perfectly satisfied that It should be so. but It occurred to him one day that be ought to congratulate bls rare disciple, and he accordingly did so. "Monsieur does not recognize me," replied the pupil. “I am monsieur's coachman, and 1 always wait here un­ til monsieur has finished bls lecture.” The Ancient Oracles. Herodotus mentions between seven­ ty and eighty oracles of one sort and another. There Is no reason fortbluk Ing that the people who patronized the oracles had other than the liveliest faith In them. The two great oracles were those at Delphi and Dodoua. though there were several others that stood well with the people. The pre­ dictions were, of course, nothing but predictions, since It Is now generally understood that the promoters of those famous Institutions were only ordinary human beings like those who patronized them. The deliverances of the oracles tielong to oue of two classes—first, those founded on secret Information and. second, those In which the oracle had absolutely no Ideas on the subject and took refuse In sheer vagueness, It was the faith of the people rather than the Infalll- blllty of the oracles that kept them up so long.

In Spain, where the ruins of Moorish towers era aeen upon the crests of many hills as the express train crawls along al the rate of fifteen or twenty miles an hour, the evidences of surviv. Ing Moorish Influence upon the people and customs of Andalusia make an in terestlng study. In the city of Ronda It la plain that the ideas of home build Ing which the Arabs brought into the Iberian peninsula remain vital today The whitewash brush is the great lev­ eler of distinction between the rich and the poor In Spain. The exteriors of homes—great manor houses upon the haciendas, huts of mountaineers clinging to the sides of the almost perpendicular hills, handsome homes of rich merchants In the cities and humble tenements—are nearly all of plaster. A few of them are calcl- mlned in blue or brown or pink, but the majority are pure white. Rouda is a white city with a few patches of blue and pink and looks as if the whitewash brush had Just been ap­ plied.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Got Right Down to Business.

But tbe American was told that, though bis case was em­ inently deserving, tbe society was Just then short of funds.

I regret to learn you were unable to as­ sist tbe young man I recommended to you a few days ago. If you will kind ly return to me one of my coutrlbu lions I will send him to America at my own expense, as 1 am convinced tbe case is a most deserving one."
