BRING YOUR JOB WORK TO THE TiMFS OFFICE LINES OF THE FACE. THEIR RELATION TO THE BEARD AND THE MUSTACHE. A Knowledge of Drawing on the Part of Men, Says a Woman Artimt, Would Have the Effect of Enhanc ing Masculine Good Looks. "A knowledge of drawing on the part of men would have the effect of increasing their good looks," said a laly teacher of that art recently, "and It would make presentable many a man whose appearance is not calculat ed to excite admiration. It sounds an odd combination, drawing and beauty, does it not? Nevertheless it is a fact." To the natural request for an expla nation she replied: "The first principles of drawing are geometrical lines and curves. These lines and curves occur in everything. A potter in criticising an ugly shaped jug will most probably tell you that its 'lines' are bad. Most of those who dab ble in drawing and gain certificates merely learn to make these lines and curves without acquiring the slightest knowledge of their effect. "Here is an example. Just take this pencil and draw a face. Oh, anything will do! But be sure to make two straight lines over the eyes for eye brows. That's it. See how serious that expression Is? "Now rub out those straight lines and in their places make two curves with the ends upward. That face has an ex pression of intense surprise, hasn't it? If you had made curved eyebrows with the ends down in the first Instance, the difference between the two would have been more striking. "Well, the human face has its 'lines,' and by studying them our men could improve their appearance. The most elementary expedient is to adapt the mustache and beard to the lines of the face, and I must here tell you that 'lines' in technical language include both straights and curves. Such an ex pedient is "Ithin the reach of all, and there Is no need for me to remind you that the whiskers make a tremendous difference in- a man's appearance. "Take a man with an aquiline nose, clear cut features and broad brow, then imagine this individual with a long, drooping mustache; why, it accen tuates the whole 'droop' of the face and spoils it. Such a man should have a small pointed beard and a mustache with ends pointing slightly upward. "The exact opposite is also frequently met with. A man with features that have a distinct upward tendency will wear a mustache with ends that are turned up and so long that they seem to be thinking of joining the eyebrows. Men with mustaches that display an inclination to grow long ends think that these ends should be permitted to grow and that they must be trained upward. That strikes them as the only proper way. But to suit the lines of the face those ends should in many cases be cut qff, and in others they ought to be trained downward. "Whiskers, again, are allowed to grow whether they suit the face or not. Often a fine, vigorous, manly face as contradicted by an .insipid little mus tache worn over a firm, clear cut mouth, the expression of which It does much to alter. It is quite a pity to see such fine lines spoilt in that way. The wearer cultivates the hirsute append age merely because it is the fashion for men to have a mustache. You talk about women being slaves to Dame Fashion, but in the matter of your whiskers you men are worse slaves than we are to dress! "Now don't run away with the notion that I advocate general shaving. Some men who are clean shaved ought not to be. The lines-of their faces simply de mand tha f which they are depriving their countenance every morning, It requires a strong, very intellectual face to do without beard or mustache. Tl:e latter is an absolute necessity for hid ing the bad lines of some mouths that would if left totally uncovered spoil the whole face. "Women as a rule are more careful of their lines and choose hats and other things to match. Men also study their dress more than the hair on their faces, but a knowledge of drawing would cor rect many mistakes in hats, collars and other masculine accessories. "In the matter of color we rather pass from the domain of drawing and mere 'lines' and tresuass into the realm of painting, but 1 cannot resist saying that both men and women, especially the former, would be all the better looking If they knew more about the blending of colors, because they would not then choose hues which do not har monize with their complexions. I have known a man with red hair to wear a red tie because red ties were fashiona "We are all going in for 84 and the beautiful nowadays, and you men are not handsome as a body.

That Warn Why His signature Was Rejected at the Bank. "Bank clerks are so often called upon for directions that they sometimes fall into the habit of giving them in a hur-, ried and mechanical manner, conse quently they are frequently misunder ptood," remarked the clerk of a sav ings institution to a reporter the other day. "For instance, the usual formula when a stranger is called upon to sign his name is, 'Sign here; pen and ink at your left hand.' One morning last week a stranger entered our bank and aske'. me for a certificate of deposit for a con siderable sum of money which he hand ed over. I counted the money and found the amount to be as stated and hurried ly said. 'Sign there, sir; pen and ink at your left hand.' "Well, it took the stranger a long time to sign his name, but I thought nothing more of it and issued the cer tificate of deposit. About a week later the same man, whose face I had for gotten, reappeared and presented the certificate. le dashed off an ornate signature, which I proceeded to com pare with the first signature. The two were vastly different. as the first one was apparently the labored effort of an old man. "'I can't pay you this money, sir,' I said. "'Why not? asked the astonished stranger. "'Because it is not the signature of the man to whom I issued the certifi cate of deposit,' I replied. "'Well,' said the stranger, 'when I was here a week ago you told me to write my name with miy left hand, and I did so, but I can't write very well that way.' "'Then will you oblige me by writ ing your name with your left hand again.' I asked as a light dawned upon me. "'Certainly,' said the man, and after much labor he produced a facsimile of his first signature, and I apologized and paid him his money."-Washington Star. FLOWER AND TREE.

"There is always a scarcity of pen nies in the west." says an official of the Philadelphia mint, "and a super abundance of them in'the east. Every little while the banks out there set up a hoot and cry for pennies, but our banks here are ever glad to rid them selves of their surplusage in these coins. It is diffleult to see why such a state of things should be. I'm sure a penny is just as dear to the eastern er's heart as to the westerner's. One would no more throw a penny away than would the other, yet here we al ways have too many pennies. There they never seem to have enough." Deathbed Flattery. Almost every dying person is liable to be allured by the solemn attitude of the company and the restrained or flowing torrents of tears and emotions to an alternating conscious and uncon sious comedy of conceitedness. The seriousness with which every dying person is treated has undoubtedly been the very finest enjoyment of his life to many a poor despised devil and a sort of indemnification and partial payment for much privation.-Works of Nietz Saluting With the Hat. Before the invention of wigs the hat was rarely removed except to salute others, especially royal personages. It was worn at table when ladles or per sons of rank were present. Except wen saluting royalty it was the cus tom merely to raise the hand to the hat somewhat after the manner of a inill tary salute. When it became the mode to wear a profusion of false halr, the hat was less needed as a protection for the head and was carried under the A Tart Retort. The infant of a household was In its cradle. The head of the house was at home, peevish and fault finding. At length he became unendurable. "You have done nothing but make mistakes tonight" he growled.

Sone of the Saddest Cames of Luuiacy Are Those Where the Mind Is Tn able to Stand the Shock of Sudden Good Tidings. It is no exaggeration to assert, said an asylum doctor of long and varied experience, that there are reores of men and women in our asylums who have literally been sent there through excess of joy. Many of these cases which are, In my opinion, the saddest of all have come under my own observation. I remember in the very first asylum with which I was connected one of the patients was a strikingly handsome and very well educated man, who was as sane as you or I except on one point. He was really a man of considerable wealth, but his delusion was that he was a pauper, and he would tell the most pitiful tales of his destitution, begging, with tears in his eyes, for a few coppers with which to buy bread. According to the story told me, he was the only son of a wealthy mer chant. In his youth he had fallen among evil companions and had led such a dijssolute life that his father not only threatened to disinherit him, but forbade him ever to enter his house again. After that he seems to have sunk into the lowest depths of poverty until he was glad to earn a few cop pers by selling papers or matches in the streets. It was at this last and lowest stage that news came to him that his father had died Intestate and that he was heir to all his vast fortune. The sudden news completely turned the man's brain and brought on stch a condition of excitement that he had to be sent to an asylum, and when le caluied down again he had lost all regllection of his good fortune, and notuing can shake his delusion that he is on the verge of starvation. Another patient in the same asylum was a youpg and in his lucid momuents a most intelligent fellow, whose 'brain was turned," as the saying is, on learn Ing that he had passed an examination. He had sat for the matriculation exam ination at the University of London, on passing which he had set his heart and had askied a friend in London to wire the result as soon as the names were screened at Burlington House. About three weeks later came a fatal telegram,."Failed-sorry," which sent the young man into the lowest depths of despair, for he was too old to sit again. Not many hours later, however, came another telegram, "Passed honors -very sorry crush so great did not see name this morning." The revulsion of feeling was so great that the stu dent's reason gave way, and he be came so violent in his excitement that he had to be confined. Fortunately he was not with us long and Is now, I am glad to know, doing very well as a so licitor. 'Dsappointed love sends many peo ple to asylums, but it is very seldom that success in wooing drives a man mad. It had this strange effect, how ever, on one of my late patients. The girl he loved had gone out to ladi.a to keep house for her brother before he had screwved up his courage to the point of proposing to her, but an offer fol lowed by mail very quickly after her. Weeks and months passed, and no an swer came to the Impatient lover until, after waiting two years in despair, he became engaged to a girl who had nothing but her money bags to recom mend her and for whom he had not a particle of love. Scarcely, however, was his fate sealed than he received the long despaired of letter from India, ac cepting his offer and explaining that the girl's brothler had received and mis, laid the letter, which had only just been found and had come into her hands. Within an hour of the receipt of this letter the man was a raving maniac, and although his condition is Improved I doubt whether he will ever recover his reason. . In another remarkable ease it was the joy at seeing her husband again that robbed a lady patient of her rea son. Hecr husband was the captain of a merchant ship which was reported to have gone down with all hands. The widow bad deeply mourned her hus band for'nearly a year, when one day on returning from a walk she found him sitting In the drawing room as hale and robust as ever. With a shriek she fell unconscious on the floor, and when she recovered her reason was gone. It seems that her husband, after floating for some time, ad been picked up by a passing "tramp" and had been, lalided on the west coast of Africa, frem which he had returned home by the first availa ble vesseL-London Tit-Bits.
