HISTORY OF INFLUENZA.
The Disease is Not a Drew Affectam by
Any Means.
Influenza, like the poor, we have al-
ways with us. It may be some comfort
to know that in the good old days things
were no bcteer. In Paris in tbe six-
teenth century friends on meeting greet-
ed each other with the question, "N'en
as-tu point goute un morcelet?" Long
before this the scourge was equally rife.
It interfered with the work of the law
and prevented the performance of reli-
gions rites. In 1403, and again in 1557,
the sittings of the courts had to be sus-
pended. In 1427 sermons bad to be
abandoned because the preacher's voice
was drowned by coughing and sneezing.
In 1510 masses could not be sung. The
features of the epidemics are said to
have been incessant discharge from. the
nose "as from a fountain," fever and
general lassitude. The patients com-
plained of headache and their chests
were rent by -coughing. All fetal tasted
better. People did not care to eat or
drink, and. they could not sleep. The
duration from illness varied from three
weeks in 1411 and a fortnight in 1427 to
six days in 1570 and four in 1557.
Influenza was variously known as Jol-
iette and Coquette, from its capricious
nature. The name grippe came into
use in 1743, the names of petite poste
a and peit courrier in 1762, and the name
as in general in 1780. It was also known
as influences and influenza. In addition

a- many and various. In 1610 sufferers

Time has not dimmed the memory of

TRAITS OF FIGHTING BULLS.
Easily Managed When Massed Together.
—Some Have the Evil Eye.
In Spain accidents to bull fighters are
of frequent occurrnce, and it is interest-
ing to see the hero of many fights swing
into the chapel attached to the bull ring
and kneel before the effigy of the Virgin
Man- before entering the arena.
Bull fighting is the national pastime.
Boys play at it in the gutters, ani there
are bull fights for amateurs, all over the
country, at whin' only two-year-old bulls
are used, and yoting and old: descend into
the arena.. Astounding is the enthus-
iasm, says the Nineteenth Century.
Interesting, too, is the psythology of
bulls. When herded together they are
docile enough, but it is a picturesque
sight to see the hulls brought into the
paddock, prior to the fight, through the
streetr of the city when all are sleeping.
A cow trained to the business, with a
bell around her neck, is all that is neces-
sary, and, the bulls follow quietly behind
her. • -

the beard lines come far. up on the facet

To the man whose cheeks are full cif

mouth as in the instance of an make -
shot lower jaw, or protruding upper
teeth, a beard is a kindly aceompaili-
merit to the face. When this clasn of
men have off their beards their wives
fall in a faint upon their return home,
and it is small wonder as the change is
startling.
On the other hand it does not follow
that the smoothly shave4 face is neces-
sarily the more becoming because it is
the more in vogue. The features of
many men would be improved by a
fringe of hair, no matter where it was
placed. Perhaps the short, closely trim-
med mustaches is the most becoming to
the average man; where men have hand-
somely shaped mouths, which is the ex-
ception rather than the rule, the smooth
face.is the more agreeable, particularly
where the nose is straight, which is
also not the rule. The long, drooping
mustaclie, so much affected by the Eng-
lish guardsman and gentleman alike,
is not becoming to the average face be-
cause it gives the features a drawn -
down expression.
"Yet men follow the fashicn in this
respect as do women in the arrangement
of the hair, though perhaps to less de-
gree, irrespective of whether the pre-
vailing mode is individually becoming
or not. Thus in the thirties nearly every
man wore the short side whiskers and
the old prints of that period are in amus-
ing contrast with the style of to -day.
