T. Barnara to Adonis Dlxeywho, I thought, would look the tetter for having his upper JId covered with hair. I think that almost every intelligent person who will note the appear, ance of many mustacheless men can hardly fail to agree with me in believing that no man without a mustache should grow one. It is not always easy tp see that a man with a mustache vrsuld look tj better were ho to roraove tt and should he do so he must undergo something of an ordeal before his Up Is tanned to the color ot his face and his acquaintances have become familiar with his changed appearance. Nevertheless, the conclusion that tho mustache ought to go seems inevitable 11 the proposition stated in the preceding sentence be admitted.

It isn't English, yon know, to wear a mustache. It isn't always nice, as, for example, when eating soup. Nor is it an essontlal mark ot desirable distinction, since representative men without mustaches can be found in aB classes of society. And if, as I have endeavored to show, any person can find by observation that men with shaven upper lip need no mustaches in other words, that mustaches do not Improve men's appearance, why then should the mustache have airy friends? You never can read tha expression of a man's face unless yon can son his month. But heard upon other parts of his face than his upper lip seldom acts as a mask.

Lincoln perhops improved his appearance by growing whiskers, but the familiar expressions of his cottntenanco were not lost, lie would doubtless have put on a disguise by wearing a mustache. Paint a heavy mustache on the faco of your Washington and yon will destroy the intellectual expression of his countenance just as surely os by growing a similar oppendago on your own upper lip you will, make yourself appear otherwise than you are.

It seems that all effori to organize a fair association have failed, and the idea of holding a fair here this fall has been abandoned. It is stated howover, by parties authorized to speak, that a association will be organized in time to preparo for a grand fair here next yenr.

The faculty of the Garfield Universi ty are arriving from the east, and will all be on hand for the opening of that institution September 6. Mostof them and probably all, as soon as arrange ments are conipleted-will live in tine cottages or boarding halls constructed for the purpose. There does not seem to bo any good reason why playing base ball should be permitted on Sunday any more than the violation of any other law. The object of the management is to make money, and it thinks a larger crowd can be got out on that day than on any other day. It is a violation of both the state law and city ordinance.

Why wink at it and make the respect for all law less among those, who at best, do not have any too miich regard for any law? A week from next Saturday there is to be a sparr'ng match, at the opera house, or a slugt'ng match some where else near the city, between a man cal'- ng himself "John Johnson, light weight champion of Kansas," and some other light slugger. It is said the contest is to be for the championship. The pa' tes, or at least Johnson, is here now and is twining. Perhaps the whole busiuess is a fraud to make money out of suckers. If it is to be a flelit, will the authorities allow it te take placo? We should think not.

The Gilbert Plow Works. We never realize the magnitude of the above Institution until we stepped into the office of Taylor Hall, at 211, North Main street, last evening, aud took a look at the drawing of the several buildings, ni prepared by archi tect A. Peabodyi The drawing is a fiuc one and shows the positions of the several buildings just as they will stand when completed. The main building la to be 60x280 feet, the secontl the third 60x150 feet and then two others 50x100, the sixth being a two story, brick office building. The first three named are to be of brick with metal roofs.

Mr. Gilbert is ex pected to return from the east some time next weok, when work on the building will be vigorously pushed to completion, so that the manufacturing of plows may be commenced at as early a day as possible, the exact time not yet being fixed, These works will be an excellent thing for the city by furnish ing several hundred men with constant proflltablo employment. Everybody interested in this imporant manufacturing entVPri.se should see the picture of the buildings at Taylor Ha'i's office, PERSONAL. Frank W.

Conductor and Paengr. He Lad "nothing smaller than a i bill." Tho conductor on the Flushing avenue car made a critical examination of his features, and, ringing up the fare, re- pnea leisurely: "Weil, i can cnange it." The passenger appeared somewhat surprised, bnt gave up his $3 bill, and the conductor reached down in hia right coat pocket and drew out a huge handful of 5 cent pieces. Fifty of these coins were counted out and placed in the passenger's hand. A dive down Into the left coat pocket produced a handful of dimes. Twenty of these wore counted out to the passenger, whose face assumed a look of protest, while tho other passengers began to smile.

Down into a pocket of his pantaloons went the busy conductor and forth came a larger handful than any that had been called out before of pennies. The oassenirer who haa nothing suwuier than a 25 bill now went into open rebel lion. His hands were atoady loaded down with small coins. He said he would leave the car, and demanded his $5 bill. "But 1 have rung up you fare, sir.

Here is your 45 cents that completes your change," and the pennies wore forced Into the unwilling passengers hands. Ho stormed and took down the conductor's number and the number of the cor and asked the names of several ol the passengers "as witnesses." Then he discovered that he had gone several blocks beyond the place he had started for, and filling two pockets with his "change," assuring the conductor that "this will be looked into, sir," Jumped Into a mud puddle instead of waiting to ride ten feet further to a crossing. The conductor quietly remarked to the passenger who was helping him to hold down the rear platform of the car: "That nothing smaller than a five is too old a game for Henry. Ho'll have enough small change the next time he wanta to ride with me." Brooklyn Eaglo. Bow to Get Health and Beauty.

So much as to the value of pure air. It to of especial efficacy in elevated regions, and its good effects are the more evident the higher the climber ascends and the more muscular effort he puts forth in the ascent. The best Inhalation apparatus, baths and medicaments are of but temporary value if no compensation is made for the loss of vitality and of muscular tone, especially that of the heart and vessels; if the blood stasis in the glanda and other organs does not yield to an increased flow of blood In the arteries and Veins; if the thinned blood does not become thicker and more rich in nlbnmenj if the accumulating carbonio acid is not expelled by a more plentiful supply of oxygen; if the fat deposited in the body is not more rapidly oxiulzed, and if the kidneys are not made to act more efficiently. Bnt all these effects are produced, according to Jacobi, Loomls, Volt, Oertel and other authorities, more certainly and more generally by mountain climbing than in any other way whatever.

Picture Giant. PATTEE MARTIN. Attraction of Mexican Town. About night the church towers of Jolapa could be seen in the distance, and shortly after the train entered the town. The Mexicans have not exaggerated the beauties of the place.

Standing on the sloping side of a hill, it is sheltered from all cold winds. Tho streets are wide, bnt so steep that carriages cannot be used, hence every ono has to walk. Streams ol water run through all the gutters, carrying oil whatever refuse is thrown oat from the houses. The cathedral is the most prominent building in the town. It is an old and curious structure, built ages ago.

Insido are tho altars and chapels, but the most noticeable feature is the eloping marble floor, which, instead of being lovel, ascends from the front of the church to the rear. Adjoining the cathedral is tho great square, shaded by orange trees loaded down with ripe, mellow fruit almost within reach. Thero it remains, however, till gathered by tho authorities. In an American city a singlo apple or pear tree is guarded by an eight foot fence, on the top ot which sharp pointed bails form a prominent feature Even then the chances are that the fruit will bt stolen In less than two weeks after rim blossoms disappear, and the owner of the place is ia constant danger of being killed by the flying sticks and clubs Not only are fruit trees loft unguarded, hut the doors of the houses are seldom locked, and burglaries are unknown. But the town is different from all other places.

The people are industrious, and every one appears to be Tba misery and wretchedness seen in other Mexican cities is altogether wanting here. Jolapa (Hex.) Cor. Chicago Times. The Newspaper Bulletin Board. One of tho most popular adjuncts to popular sducation is the newspaper bulletin board.

But the purest satisfaction is not enjoyed by the eager crowd, which risks accident from the Jostling ot passengers and teams, while it unconsciously obstructs the thoroughfare; the happiest man is one ot the craft who dreads to attempt to read the newspaper because there is so much he cannot conscientiously pass by without examination, but which proves after wading through it to be of the old padded variety a column and a half which he is accustomed to condense, into a stickful. How it gladdens the heart to behold the bold letters of tho bulletin and absorb their meaning, no superfluous paint used in th construction ot the sentences, no wealth of verbiage squandered on mere nothings, but bold fact denuded of tho twaddle which goes so far in these days toward removing every vestige of interest which the headlines inspire the kernel which, planted in the fertile brain of the ready writer, forms tho text of a paragraph to which he can contribute interesting collateral matter at a moment's notice Lawrence American.
