gently closing the left eye, laying the right
forefnger alongside the nose, and violently
wagging the ears. II requires practice, but
the advantages are intense. 1t also has an i'm
portant Specification, which you will do well to
heed. The closing of the eye signifies that in
all your dealings with mankind you are bound
to have an eye to business. Laying the finger
alongside the nose Is emblematical Of wisdom,
and places you at once among the knowing
ones.' This is extremely handy In prognosti
eating new weather. and saves the wear and
tear Of almanacs. Wagging the ears signifies
sublimity of purpose, and is thought to Sc en-
blematical of childhood's happy hours" It ia

but this fact is somewhat obscure by the dust
of ages. In token that you are one Of us, you

impressive, and consists of two brands. They
are both applied "while the iron Is hot," and
consist Of one letter of the alphabet each. Tho
first Is large letter 8, on which you will please
sit while the other letter Ia applied to the
stomach. The letter 8, my worthy chicken,
signifies scooped, and refers to railroad monop-
olles. It Is also supposed to indicate the seat
Lof learning-the spot where the old-time
teacher hunted for brains with the ferule. The
second letter Is C, and Is applied, as said be-
fore, to the stomach. 1t has double mean
ing. First, the application is an agricultural
one, "corn crib, and has reference to the
stomach as being the great receptacle for
gent in finding home market for your corn.
