Art OF Character Reading.

The ability or rather power of cor
rectly reading character, IS not only a
distinct but most rare faculty. Most
people imagine they are personally and
singulaTly gifted in their way, when in
reality they have received merely an
impression from an individuality strong
er than their own, which when they
endeayOr TO convey to others in Ian
guage signally fails of its object. II Is
so difficult. indeed, 10 lese ones self even
in the attempt to describe others. They
have an instinct which aids materially
in giving Serviceable hints, but they are
speechless If called upon to express
these hints to other minds. Every one
indeed can easily trace and portray the
most prominent CHARACTERISTICS of a
mere acquaintance a commonplace
phrase, a mere formula ofsOcial custom,
VIII sometimes give fair enough des-
cTipticn and completely satisfy the cur
iosiJy of chance inquirer.
Ii Is Only when the hearer wants to
have, and the observer would 1 in give.
true, just comprehensive estimate and
picture Of character, that the difficult
ty presents itself. There are so many
Tndescribable details that mean much TO
to the chose student of humanity, and
which, when described, fail to carry
the impression from your mind to an
other, and it almost seems that the bet
ter we know the individual We wish TO
describe the more impossible it appears.
There is his voice, which is 80 fall of
meaning to us, the tones of which we
can near as we speak of him, and yet
can not describe. There are his hands,
portraying strength and tenderness 10
us, and perhaps creating no impression
upon the sens Utilities of others. We
are all so differently constituted tlat
what might mean volumes in the one
instance might pass for naught in the
second.

"Ihe devotee of pure science" ;" says
DR.. Oliver J. Lodge. ''never has prac-
teal developments as his primary aim
often he not only does not know, but
does not in the least care; whether his
researches will ever lead to any benef-
cial result. In some minds this passive
ignoring of the practical goes so far as
to become active repulsion; so that
some singularly biased minds will not
engage in anything which seems likely
to lead to practical use. / regard this
as an error and as the sign OF warped
judgment, for after all man is to us the
most important part of nature; but the
system works well, and the division OF
labor accomplishes its object. One man
investigates nature by his own genius
and because he feels he cannot help it !;
it never occurs to him to give reason
for or to justify his pursuits. Another
subsequently utilizes his results and
applies them to the benefit of the race.
Meanwhile, however, i. may happen
that the yet unapplied and unfrmtful
results evoke q sneer and the question
'CuI 6onoF to which the only answer
seems to be: No one is wise enough to
tell beforehand what gigantic develop
ments may not spring from the most in
significant fact"

sugar cut as for table, with a bEeiAia,s
cupful of cold spring water. Let II
remain until the sugar is dissolved, anu
then set it on clear fire to Doll lor
about five minutes, or rather more. AS
the scum rises carefully skim It away
until the sugar looks qyite white anu
thick, and then, stir into il quarter
of a pound of grated cocoanut, taxing
care that it is nice fresh one. Again
set it on the fire and with wooden
spoon stir it continuously until II rises
quite up In the pipkin, then at once
srread it out on weil-dried sheets o,
writing-paper, which should be warmed
before the fire before putting the
cocoanut upon them; the paste should
be rather more than half an inch thick
Let it remain N this way until nearly

must be removed, and ii can then De

COLD MEATS are preferred to hot in
our usual Philadelphia summer weather.
ALI the salads and "dressing" that can
be devised to go with cold sliced meats
are desirable. Here is an English
recipe, and as English breakfasts are
largely composed of cold meats. it is
likely to be good. Chop very finely the
yolks of four hard-boiled eggs, four
eschalots, ''shalot" is a small bulb or
leek Of the garlic order, alittle chopped
parsley and tsrrsgon. Mix the herbs
and eggs with two tablespoonfuls of
best salad oil, some salt and pepper,
and gradually add four spoonfuls of
vinegar. Arrange some slices of cold
meat in q circle in dish, ornamented
with pieces of cucumber and slices of
the bard-boiled whites of eggs. A
sprinkle of capers can be addei for
those who like this flavor.

Mr.. d. III. Barnaby, of Owego, n. Y,

violent cold which terminated with pneumo-
mia. and all tho best physicians gave the case
up and said she could live but few hours
at most. She was in this condition when a
friend recommended DIR. VIM Halls Bal

Writing about the resistance of
gun barrels the Scient Jfc american
says: ''Perhaps one OF the most singular
exhibitions in this line was Colts
navy revolver, whrch some years ago
was sent to the factory in Hartford,
Conn. This was before the adaptation
of the pistols to metallic cartridges, and
it lis probable that in loading with open
powder and ball only small amount OF
powder got into the chamber, and tie
bullet was not propelled with sufficient
force to drive it from the mazzle. at
least the bullet did not go out. but
lodged. As the shooter did not know
whether the bullet escaped or not he
went on firing until the barrel burst or
Dulged, and when it WAS sawed in two
longitudinally there were found II bull
lets wedged one into the other, and so
much upset by the hammering of the
successive explosions of the powder
changes that some OF them were not less
than one inch in diameter, being fiat

color in dinner table decorations are
declining. The finest white damask
still holds the preference. and the GEN.
tre piece of plush or velvet under lace
is little used now. Fewer flowers, too,

latest fashion in ice cream plates is the
