It is the only medicine of which “100 doses one dollar” is true. The earliest reference to shaving is found in Genesis xii., 14, where we read that Joseph, on being summoned before the King, shaved himself. There are several directions as to shaving in Le- viticus, and the practice is alluded to in many other parts of the Holy Scriptures. Egypt is the only country mentioned in the Bible where shaving was made a practice. In all other countries such an ing moved around, the front to the | act would have been debasing in the south.

Farmers are going to sow their land principally in flax this season, because they can get nothing for their corn. W. J. Bard is contract- ing seed at Butler prices and terms, the seed to be delivered at Butler Elevator. Ike Lockridge has sent for a doc- tor; he has a sick colt. Joe Arbogast has sold his interest in his Johnson county land. Dr. J. J. Mitchell is cribbing lots of corn at about 17 cents per bushel. O. M. Drysdale has a zew kind of soap called Starlight; it will wash cleaner after night than in day time. Mr. Eugene Ferrell is over from the south side of the river visiting Mr. Brights’. Mr. W. H. Brunen is dangerously low, with consumption. Mr. Joe Whinnery and Henry Craig had some difficulty over rent- ing some land the othor day. Mr. James Whinnery is on the “grip” list and is threatened with pneumonia. i that to neglect it was to set one’s self up as a target for reproach and ridicute. When the Egyptian artists intended to convey the idea of a mean, low, sloven- ly fellow they always represented him in full beard. Unlike the Romans ofa later age the Egyptians did not confine the shaving privilege to free citizens, but obliged their slaves to shave both beard and head. The priests were about the only class of citizens who habitually shaved the head except the slaves. About 300 years B. C. it became the | custom of the Romans to shave regular- ly. According to Pliny, Scipio Afri- ; canus was the first Roman to shave daily. In France the shaving custom was brought about by Louis XIII. coming to the throne young and beard- less. The Anglo-Saxons wore their beards until at the Conquest they were compelled to follow the example of the Normans, who shaved. From the time of Edward III. to that of Charles I. beards were universally worn. ers only were worn, and soon after the reign of that monarch the shaving prac- tice became general.—St. Louis Repub- lic. THE WOMEN’S HUNT. Females Pat On Men's Clothes in Order to Drive Away Evil Spirits. A very curious custom is that called the women’s hunt, which prevails among Some of the aboriginal tribes of Chota Nagpore, India. It is observed when- ever any calamity falls upon the com- munity—such as, perhaps, a visitation Mr. John Billheimer and Miss Sudie Nieukirk were over from Fos- ter Sunday buggy riding. of cholera.
