CffINS.

Fortunc-tcllcrs arc generally skill
fill physiognomists. and all the rra-
lures Of the human face do their
share in cnlightening the understand
ing of the sccrs. The chin at the
present day is rather hard to read on
account OF the increasing custom Of
wcaringa beard. a good chin should
neither project nor retreat much. A
very rctrcating chin denotes weak
ness, and very prominent one narsh
strength, united with iirmness
amounting to obstinacy. A pointed
chin generally denotes acuteness. y
soft, fat, double chin generally de
notes Il love OF good living, and an
angular chin Judgment and iirmncss.
Flatness OF chin implies coldncss; a
round, dimplcd chin, goodness; Il
small chin, fear; sharp indentings in
the middle Of the chin point to Il cool
understanding. The color and tex
turc of the skin and Of the hair and
beard have also direct harmony with
the features. These should be studi-
cd more than they have been. A
facility in drawing faces is of great
use to the student ot'physiognomv,
rs it enables him TO note pccuI;aritics
of feature which no written drscrip-
tion would he capable of preserving.

SURE TO WIN.

The gentleman is sure to win, in
this life Of ours. If YOU speak the
right word at tke right time; if you
are careful to leave people with good
impression; if you do not trcspass
upon the rights of Others; if YOU al
ways think of others as we'll as YOUR
self; if You do not put yourself un-
duly forward; if you do not forget
the courtesies which belong to your
position, you are quite sure to accom-
plish much in life, which others with
equal abilities fail to do. This is
where the race is not to the swift.
nor the battle to the strong. 1t is,
where YOU make people feel that YOU
are unscltsh and honorable and
truthful and sincere. This is what
society is looking for in men, and it is
astonishing how much men are able
to win of self respect and success and
usefulness who possess these quail
ties of good breeding.

SMALL INDUSTRIES on THE FARM,

The comparative profit oflargc and
small farms is Il question that will
not stay settled. In Il few cases the
subdivision of labor and economy Of
system tell iavorahly ON returns: ::
generally, however, the want Of capi-
tai, lncapcity and lcakagrs make
ambitious undertakings comparative
~ nnproiitabi%. One advantage in
the small farm system is necessary
appropriation of every source of in
come the utilization Of every capacity
Tor production, and the employment
OF the labor OF every member of the
rurni family. The French afford Il
good illustration Of this idea. No
fragment of time, no product of grow
tn, no ray OF sunshine or drop of rain
is permitted to be lost. The care of
the SILK worm and the Keeping Of
poultry are among the minor indus
tries that afford employment to the
extremes of youth and age. The com
parailvc profit of small and large
ilocks of chickens only illustrates in
an exaggerated fashion the difficulty
OF getting 4 profit out of big farms.
one III Il thousand will conduct poul
try operations proiitably on a large
scale by observing with extreme care
tho conditions that made small
flock profitable. If the birds are
allowed free range without crowding,
pure air and water and the needed
variety of food, vegetable and animal,
which small flock obtains in its
voluntary circuit Of the farm, they
will be healthy and profitable. But
it is extremely difficult to fulfill all
these conditions.

SIGNIFICANT.

One of the most significant signs.
of the times is the refusal, by an
overwhelming vote, on the part of the
Methodist General Conference, to
elect bloodyshirt, social equality
Bishop, TO fill the place of the late
Bishop Gilbert Haven. The Bishon
selected is neither politician no, a
tirchraud socially. There has been q
similar change in the editorship of
the New York Christian Advocate.
This is prodigious change for the
hetter. The world moves.

SAVED HER MONEY.

There has just been enacted near
Salonica Il drama the hero of which is
a colonel, who was captured by brig

som was paid for his release. This
recalls the case of Il Greek officer
who was taken captive under pre-
else Y similar circumstances. While
in the hands of the bandits he wrote
to his wife, saying: My ransom is
200 drachmas. If ii is not paid bv
the 10th my captors will cut of my

There has lately been exhibited in

Continental Hotel, PHILADELPHIA, a
hat which has yycitcd widespread at
tention. 1t is thirty-two inches in
the crown, while the brim is nearly q
yard in circumference. and has been
made for Charles 4. Erling, aged 81,
son of farmer near Bridgcboro.
Erling is within half an inch oftivc
feet high, with very short legs and a
very long body. His chest is forty
four inches round and his stomach
forty one and Il half. He has for
years been obliged to lie down be-
cause his body will not carry his
head. Medical men say that this
enormous size of the head mot
caused either by water on the brain
or maliormation, but is merely the
result of an ovcrgrowth. lie has

recent period, kept in bed in the same

uncducatcd, as his friends thought it
would do him harm to learn any les

Another case OF Enoch Arden,
this time in Michigan State, has
come TO light. A recent dispatch
from East Saginaw to the Detroit
Free Press relates the following sto.
~: Thirty .one years ago there re.
sided in Saratoga county, n. York,
Sands G. Carpenter, q young man
with wife aud two sons. At this
time the Millerite "boOm" was at It's
height, and Carpenters father.in.

did not believe in the faith, and the
religious tervor of his father. in law
assumed such pitch that it result.
ed in separating Carpenter from bis
wife and two little boys. He went
to Albany, aud in 1853 removed to
Chatham, Ont, where he remained
two years and then located ut st.
Clair, and subsequently at Port Hu.
ron, which he has ever since made
his headquarters, being engaged in
surveying and locating. From the
time he Jeff home, he lost all trace
of his family, other than the nero
fact that they had removed to this
State. Yesterday Carpenter, now .

his SOL, whom he had not seen since
he was a little child. he at once
telegraphed to COrunna, aud last
night the boy, now married, and o
stalwart man of thirty one, arrived
in this city, and was warmly greet
ed by his father. The meeting Of
father and son after separation of
twenty seven years can be imagined.
The young mans name IL Orlando

Corunna. The other son, Lewis, re.
sides near Flushing. The wife and
mother is also living near Flushing,

He "Squozs' Her Hand.

An Ohio merchant tells the fol.
lowing story about himself. Where
he lives is a secret place, except
that il is not 4 mile and half
from the Xenis Court House:
"When | was about II years old
| made a trip to Cleveland in An
fashioned stage coach, with its
spanking four horses. At Mt. Yer.
non vbout 4 o'clock in the afternoon
a pretty girl came OH board. She
sat on the back seat, next an elder.
~ farm.like looking man. I was
on the middle seat in front Of her.
| soon struck a pleasant chat with
her. She was charming talker
and almost as brilliant as sue was
pretty. 1t looked as if We were
mutually pleased. When dark
came concluded there would be
no harm in giving her hand .
squeeze by the way Of . feeler. l
| reached around behind and got
hold of the hand. l was q little
startled at the hardness bat il No
turned q vice.like pressure. l
squozed again and it squose beck.
A sense of disappointment woaA
steal over me, when in my mind /
would contrast the seeming tough.
ness of her hand with the tender
ness and sweetness Of bee voice.
The contrast did not seeO TO ar
terialize my blood quite up to the
point of exbileration. At last she
reached her destination and left the
coach. After we bad started again
that old rooster who had sat beside
her addressed me thusly:
Young man, do you feel all
right! You had q nice time tug.
ging at my paw for the last Ave
miles; hope you enjoyed it,
The young ladies Oh the front
seat giggled all the way to the
next station, and the gentlemen

Women In the East.

The Mahammrdans nearly all be.
lieve that woman has no soul. This
is not taught in the Koran, but it
is countenauced by the tact that
III the great prophets paradise,
hours are given to the faithful in.
stead of their ca-thiy wives. The
Chinese make slaves OF the women
IN this world, and deny them any
hope of compensation hereafter.
In western Australia female chill.
drtn are always htrothed few
DAYS after their birth; and should
the first husband die before the girl
at;ains her maturity, she belongs
10 his heir. In New Zealand, ii a
girls future husband should die. no
other can make such a proposal TO
her. Among the Hindoos, widows
may not marry again. In China
the parents bargain for the mar
riage OF their children while they
are Yet unborn. The New Holland
ers steal their wives; aud il wo-
man attempts to escape from her
captor, he AT once tbrusts II spear
through The feshy part of her thigh.
OF methods of obtaining wife,
that of purchase is the most uni.
versal. 1t is practiced by the Afri.
can, by the black and brown races
of the Indian Archipelago, and by
nearly all the nations of Asia. The
Circassian women prefer being sent
to CoustantinOple to be sold. In
Siam and Cochin China men inva-
riably purchase their wives; bat the
women have one privilege, the pa.
rents cannot sell them without their
will. In China women are sold
without being consulted on the sub
ject, and have to obey every one in
the family of their purchaser, with
ont exception-the husbands con
troll over her being entirely unlim-
tied. In japan presents are given
TO the bride, who transfers them ia
her relatives, to defray the expense
and trouble incurred in bringing
her up from her infancy.
