How it is Managed.—French lady to family physician: "Doctor, I want my husband to take me to Nice for 'the winter. Now, what is the matter with me?"
There is a wonderful realistic effect in the great forest scene of "Le Tour da (Monde en 80 Jours," which has just been ! tetpred at the Porte St. Martin 1. The ! *«rge in which the lions are confined is as i large as the stage itself. The iroa bars *are, howevfer, - ingeniously foncealed by ' stage trees and foliage, and it seems to the spectator as if the lions, were really at liberty in the depth of an African forest. The Beard and Longevity .—That the wearing of the beard has some tendency to prolong life is a fact; Longevity decreased rapidly in all nations when, for fashion s sake, the razor was brought info use. Statistics show that among people who have never worn whiskers, no matter how simple may have be^n their other habits of life, old age is a Tare,thing, and that since it became fashionable to wear moustaches and whiskers loneevitv is on the increase.—Court Journal,
