MYSTERIES OF THE BEARD.
Who can tell us the mysteries of the heard? Why are some races bearded and others almost beardless? Why can sonic men grow heavy moustaches and chin beards, but hardly any hair on tlie cheeks? Also how account for different dispositions of hair on men's faces? AY hv can some men grow beards five feet long and others beards only two inches long? Why do moustache and beard usually turn grey before the hair docs (like old dogs' muzzles) ? Why does a man twirl his moustache or fondle his beard? Why are colours of hair and beard different? Why are many heavily-bearded men bald, and many men with thick hair scantily bearded? Why does a bearded mail seldom or never lose his beard through baldness? Finally, why is a beard? (Don't reply facetiously.) CHARLES HOOPER. * Coour d'Alene, Idaho, U.S.A.
