Snot tho Llur by n Little Trick of Hin (J '.ICH. It ls Utile realized in Low many things eyes betray their owner. Many people without nt nil professing to bo ! physiognomists freQuontly ure led t<> form opinions about their neighbors by purely physiognomical signs. We often hear a mau say. "That inan Jones is the biggest fool In t m u. lie has the most foolish, expressionless, bovino pair of eyes I've over seen." Young : parents in particular are fond of plan? 1 liing bright futures for their children, basing their judgment entirely "on a most wonderfully Intelligent look in our baby .Toe's eyes." The proud moth er will mid. "I am sure he'll sume day : be a great poet." Men. moro sensibly, will be led in their business dealings by opinions funned in just this way. Few indeed i will be found inexperienced enough to repose any confidence In a mau having a pair of round, shifting eyes, closely set together lu the head and usually ! accompanied by a pair of narrow, slop- ? inp shoulders. This is the make Up of a typical sneak'thief. Hut :i man not knowing this will si 111 say: "I don't , like his looks. Ile looks too slippery ' for me." When the average man, however, having some secret conviction that he is a born physiognomist, tries to form . positive judgments about people by mere individual signs, be is likely to orr sadly. Many a naturally gifted or- , ator has been pronounced by such a : judge as a man given over to dissipa- j tion because his full, prominent, san- ; ccrlllte eye bears some resemblance to an eye full by dissipation. The latter case, however. Is easily distinguish:!- ' ble. Physical pleasure has a teudency to draw up the lower eyelid as though to half close the eye. it soon becomes thicker, fleshier and remains pressed . up agninst the eye like a soft cushion. j giving this appearance of fullness to the eye, the sign for fluency and great command of language. Undoubtedly much is told about us by our eyes. Dogs and children have ? been called natural physiognomists. A : dog sometimes will refuse any caresses ' or tidbits from some stranger and slink off. but will run up to another man equally as strange to him. wagging his tail, and begin to lick his hand, dill dren also know well who will grant their request and who will refuse gruff ly. A 7-year-old boy who went up to ! a stranger to ask him to do something, when asked why be went to that man when his uncle was by. answered. ' "Well, because the man had 'yes' writ- ] ten In his eyes." ! Many professions'apply some trait or other of the human eye to their own particular use. Surgeons and dentists. . remembering that some of the most delicate nerves of the human body are in the eye, when giving anaesthetics judge by his eye when the patient ls sufficiently under the Influence of the drug. They lift the upper eyelid and feel the eyeball with their finger. When the eyeball no longer answers to the touch of the Auger, the surgeon fools assured that the patient ls sufficiently oblivious to the Influence of the outer world for him to begin operations. So. likewise, many forms of poisoning can be told hy the condition In which the eye is found. Habitual use of drugs, like laudanum, opium, etc., has a marked effect on tho eye, and the un naturally distended pupil of victims to the Influence of such drugs easily "gives them away." But the most interesting of the eye's "give aways" 's Its use as an effective d?tecter of double dealing. A private detective,' in a discussion as to how far the eye can be depended upon to detect falsehood, says: ! "It Is sometimes pretty hard to tell ; from the manner of a smart, fluent ' talker whether he Is telling the truth or not. Of course in the case of an unskillful, amateur liar the thing ls simple. Even the average man, who usually Is a pretty poor observer, can determine for himself whether the man lies, for the would be prevaricator usually takes good care to betray him- i self. He involuntarily seeks to avoid meeting the eyes of his intended vic tim by averting his face and shifting his eyes. Ile no more cnn refrain from acting In his suspicious manner than cnn a mau look straight at some bright light after staying In a dark room for some time. The action of both In avoiding tr? look at a thing too strong for the delicate nerves of the eye ls Instinctive and Involuntary. But tho Har of sufficient practice can acquire enough self control to refrain from showing these telltale signs. "To detect falsehood in cases of this kiud we employ a delicate test, which, in the hands of a clever mun. is infalli ble. We call it the 'eye test.' The sharp detective puts a sudden, direct question to the crook which udmits of no equivocal reply and which goes to the root of the matter. As the man tries to answer the detective steadily looks into the pupils of his eyes and carefully observes any changes or movements of thc iris. Should thc man He in answering, it will be shown by the muscular twitching of the eye, as if trying to make the aperture of the eye smaller. This is the same movement as results in trying to avoid too strong a light. The eye thus seems to be equally susceptible to beams of truth and to beams of light."-New York Press. i Known by Hla Work?, "They tell me thet strange feller who wuz to th* dance at th' Corners las' night is an editor."

"'lt was my first af fair of the kind, and I regret to say 1 tumbled it and ;ML caught almost Im mediately. What is the joke, tl i . 1 you ask? Theil- is no joke; it is perfectly true. It happened like this: .'lu tli;> l'ail ol' ISSI, wheu I was quite young ami green, 1 got a job travel- ! lug for a Chicago grocery house, ami I one of the inst places I visited was a ? small town in northern Ohio. 1 univ- | ed about ll at night and went out to take a stroll and smoke a cigar before ? going to bed. Passing through a side | street, I noticed n light lu the little j jewelry store and also that the dcor j was ajar. That reminded me 1 had ! recently brollen the mainspring of my j watch, and I sauntered in to leave lt i for repair. "As 1 entered a young man arose from the further end of tho counter. Ile seemed startled, which was not un natural at such a late call, but he rc- j gained his composure while I explain- i ed thc purpose of my visit and told n.c ! he had closed sonic hours before, but ! happened tu remember some things ? that had been left out of the safo and returned to put them back. When 1 handed him my watch, I asked him to lend me another to wear in the mean- j time, and he gave me one at random ? from a tray on tho counter. This is lt j on my chain now. "Next morning." continued the story ; teller, "I was lounging in thc hotel of fice, when the town marshal tapped me ; on the shoulder. " 'Let me sec your watch,' lie said. j "I pulled it out mechanically and was nt once placed under arrest on the charge of robbing the jewelry store. !t seemed that it had been burglarized j during the night, and somebody in tho hotel had noticed my peculiar looking watch and reported it to tho police. It was promptly Identified as part of the ? stolen goods, and, needless to say, my ! story as to its acquisition was laughed lo scoru. I was obliged to admit that it seemed a little gauzy myself, and I | can't say I blame the authorities for j declining to give lt credence. "At any rate, I found myself in the deuce of a fix. My old watch had beeu j carried off by the thief, and there was j absolutely nothing to confirm my state- j ment except the hare fact that none of j thc other goods was found In my pos- j session. That, howev?r, went for very j little, for it was argued that I had had j abundant time to conceal my plunder. ; In my agitation and excitement I must ? have presented a perfect picture of : guilt, and the townspeople came near j mobbing me on the way to jail. They i kept mo there for exactly throe hours, the agony of which will dwell with me if I live to be a hundred. "Meanwhile the sure enough burglar had boen hagged lu an adjoining town with all the loot, Including my time piece, in his valise, und when I was finally released he was buudled into my cell. If he hadn't been caught, 1 ? don't know what might Luve happened. I don't like to think about it. The au thorities made groveling apologies, and the jeweler was especially abject. To placate me he offered to let me keep the \ new watch lu exchange fer my old one, and I accepted the proposition. I car ry it as a sort of tragic-comic sou venir."-New Orleans Times-Democrat. It Was Dcwey'ii Treat. "In 1SSG," said Colonel Frank Small, ! advance agent for a theatrical comp'a- j ny, "I was in Washington with Rose j Coghlan, playing nt what was then ; Albaugh's Opera House. One after- ; noon I was In the box office chinning with the ticket manipulator and watch- j lng the matinee girls when three ladies i came in, followed by 100 children, boya 1 and girls. j "One of the ladies stepped up to the window and said, 'We have just an even 100 children here and here ls a , check for ?25 to pay for the tickets for them.' She handed In a check signed by George Dewey, and the tickets were : passed out to the lady. The happy youngsters were soon enjoying the , play. . j "I didn't know George Dewey from Adam's off ox, and I asked the ticket i man who he was. He told me that Mr. j Dewey was a navy officer and that lt was not the first time be had handled his checks In that way; that once each season anyway the children from some of the several orphan asylums were given such treats by the gentle man, but that he seldom attended a performance himself." - St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Animals That Coast. "In India, where I was a cornet of her majesty's hussars, I gave a good deal of attention to elephants," said Murray Garde the other night. "What particularly interested me was the bold, original method an elephant has of gottiug down a hill when the gradi ent is too steep for walking. He sits calmly down on his hinderlands, you know, pushes off, and, bzz, bzz! he's at the bottom. It hurts, though-the fric tion, the inequalities of the descent, the tenderness of the hide, don't you know. "But I only speak of this because the bears of your country remind me of it. The bears of Utah and Wyoming are the cleverest wild animals I have ever seen. They, too, slide down the preci pices and the mountains, but they are more tender of themselves than the elephants.

Perhaps you have hoard of at least tin last groat personage. They were real ly 'great personages' In their own osti inntion and seemed to he glad that they vero freaks." None of the listeners had ever seen or bearii of the freaks. "Don't think for n moment that the india rubber boy was made of rubin ." continued the speaker, "or that he could twist himself into a knot. Ile looked lik?! a schoolboy. Ile suffered from some form of epilepsy, and when he had a lit he would bounce up and down. That's why they called him the India rubber hoy." "How high divl he bonnieV" was ask ed. "I think about six feet. Some people said that hu sometimes bounced high er, but I doubt it." "I?bl he have any control over him self when ho had n lit?" "No. He never know when or where ho would be stricken, and every time lie simply bounced until he became ex hausted or unconscious. "The India rubber boy and the man with the voice like a locomotive whis tle one time nearly frightened to death a night clerk of a local hospital. A ! yoting physician tunde a tour of the country some years ago exhibiting to I medical associations the india rubber I boy and the mau with the peculiar j voice. This physician took delight in i having fun nt the expense of his ! friends. Ho was well acquainted with j the night clerk, and he selected him as i a victim for one of his pranks. One ! night, after he had exhibited his freaks : befoie a medical society in this city, ? the physician called at the hospital to ? sec the night clerk. After talking with j thc clerk a few minutes he left the i freaks seated near a desk at which the ; clerk was at work and went Into au ad ! joining room to await developments. The physician had sonn? doubt about ( his plan being successful, as the man i with the extraordinary voice would only make a noise like a locomotive whistle when under great excitement. The man. however, did what was ex pected of him. * "Several times thc clerk stopped work to glance at his visitors, bul their action did not arouse his suspicious. Soon the India rubber boy's teeth be gan to chatter, and thc lad assumed a crouching attitude. He was preparing to spring. The clevie saw the crouch ing form in front of his desk and reached for a stick on a nail at one end of his desk. As the clerk grasped thc stick the boy bounded upward and came down on his feet, only to shoot upward again. The clerk raised tho stick ns though he intended to hit the boy with It, and then the man who could make sounds resembling a loco motive whistle became excited and sounded a shrill blast. Ills voice would have terrified any one. The noise made by the man and the boy bounding up and down In front of the desk was too much tor the clerk. He rushed from the room and sounded a call for help. All the male orderlies responded to the call, and for a time there was great ex citement in the place. The phj-slclan restored order by making an explana tion, but the clerk never spoke to him again."-New York Tribune. Zbaen'i? Mild Way. Ibsen, declares M. Sardou, takes up a position on the stage and without saying a word notes down the altera tions either lu the scenery or the act ing that he requires. He then gives his notes to the stage manager and bids him communicate them to the actors. Should there be no change on the morrow he says mildly: "You have evidently lost my directions. Hore Is a frosh copy," and continues to ply the stage manager with notes every ; day until he recognizes that his inter vention is useless. Then, putting on his hat. he bows and says, "The piece you are rehearsing is not mine." and departing does not even return for the first representation.

F. D. Coburn. Twelfth Century Mnmicru. . According to twelfth century inan ; ncrs, it was considered more than rude i for any one, mau or woman, to look j aimlessly into space or gaze ut tho sky ! for any length of time, and staring ! about in the street or in church was considered especially impolite. People : who desired to be considered well ! brought up were enjoined not to wave j their hands about in the air and not , to place their hands upon the head or \ shoulders of any distinguished persou ! age. ! When standing, both mon aud wom en were exhorted to [dace one baud over the other near thc waist. A well bred woman, also, when walking out of doors, had to place the thumb of the left hand in the buckle or string by which her clonk was fastened under her neck, while with the two fingers j of tho right hu nd she kept the cloak i closed. When ou horseback, men were en joined not to look at their legs, hut ! straight over the horse's head. In a i book of the twelfth century we read of a model young woman who "walked ? nicely and did not look around. She i did not speak to her mother nor greet i her father, neither would she look at I man or woman." An l nun ll n nt Comparison. The Duke aud Duchess of Cou naught, on visit to Egypt, met with several humorous experiences. One of thom shows that even the Egyptians are not free from an unhappy weak ness for saying just the wrong thing at a critical moment. After an inspection of the troops by thc duke outside of Omdurman, to ! which the duchess had accompanied j him on horseback, the girths of her ? saddle suddenly gave way. There was ; no way of repairing them, and to en j able her royal highness to get back with the least possible Inconvenience i a sort of sedan chair was improvised ! from a gun carriage. On this she was ? carried by Egyptian gunners, who j were In charge of a native officer. On the way ibo duchess said, "I hope your men will not be tired after car rying me," and was surprised and amused to receive the ungallant reilly: "Indeed, no, madam; you are no j heavier than the gun they are nccus ! tomed to carry!"

The work of this masterful " Discovery " j begins at the very corner-stone of life in t the stomach and nutritive organism, lt gives appetite, nourishment, rich blood, healthy solid flesh.

Herc is a man (or woman) with a hacking cough, a hectic flush, night-sweats, great emacia tion or wasting of flesh, spitting of blood, shortness of breath and nil the other symp toms. After every remedy and every local physician has failed, he, as a last resort, takes "Golden Medical Discovery" and the cough vanishes, the cheek gets back ita natural color, sleep becomes sound and re freshing, the spitting of blood slops, flesh and muscles become firm, weight increases, and life goes along in quiet and comfort to the full limit of thc three score years and ten. But may be it wasn't consumption after all ? May bc it wasn't. You know it was something that was attacking the very cit adel of life, and it was something that was cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. And Dr. Pierce is cur ing such ''somethings" right along with a record of over a quarter of a million cases, and not more than three per cent, of faillites. Gue fact, at least, is well established. That the "Golden Medical Discovery" does cure weak liing1;, bleeding from lungs, obstinate, lingering coughs, laryngitis, bronchitis, throat disease, and kindred affections of thc air - passages, which, if neglected or badly treated, lead up to con sumption, can no longer be doubted in view of the many thousands of well estab lished cures of such cases reported by thc most trustworthy citizens.
