THE GRACE OF MENTAL CULTURE
Graces that are the most permanent and
attractive are those of the mind. Delicacy,
sweetness, good sense and sensibility, BEAM
ing from the eyes, giving a kind and genial
expression to the cOuntenance, more than
compensate for any irregularity or plain
ness of features, and sooner excite admlra-
ton and love in a really sensitive heart,
than the best formed face and the finest
complexional hue, wanting intellectual eX-
preston, and giving no indications OF kind
and benevolent emotions.
Nature must, of course, give the germ OF
these ennobling qualities, but by no other
means are they SO effectually called forth
and improved, as by the cultivation of the
mind and the acquisition of purely literary
taste by the judicious reading Of properly
selected books. Even as a sculptor gives
expression and beauty to the rude unshapen
block of marble, so mental culture, readily
acquired by reading and studying method
ically books wisely selected, gives pleas
ing expression and attractiVeness to the
countenance, and grace and loveliness to
the demeanor.
In ones intercourse with the world, he
cannot fail to feel that the absence Ofan intel
lectual expression often mars the beauty,
and renders unattractive those who have
naturally well-formed faces and symmetri-
cal figures. The natural passions of such are
usually under no control, and consequently
often give to the eyes an envious or disdain-
full, if not an artful look, repugnant to

ESTATES FOR LIFE.

The origin of the present ownership of
land, at least in the larger part OF Europe,
was victory in war. A cOnqueror parceled
out the lands of his enemies among his fol-
lowers. The smallest estate given was for
the life of the taker. When such an estate
was given no words were used to indicate
that It could be inherited. The grant was
made to the receiver simply. In ancient
times the holder of this estate could nOtsell
it. 1t was held that at the moment it lett
his possession it became again the property
of the giver. At the death of the holder it
also returned to the giver.
In later feudal times this rule was changed.
A holder of an estate for life might sell it.,
and the buyer could hold it as long as the
seller lived.
Up to the time when the Catholic religion
was driven out of England, holder OF a
life-estate lost it if he became monk, be-
cause monk is a man legally dead. An
outlaw also lost the rightto hold life-estate.
Every tenant for life has a right to the
beneficial use of his land. He can sow and
reap crops. He can cut wood for fuel, or to
make repairs. He has no right to commit
any waste, or to allow the place to 60 to
ruin. Timber must not be cut and sold.
He has no right to dig new gravel pits, but
he may use any that are already dug.
A life-tcnant cannot lease his land to an
other for longer time than his own life.
If he made lease for twenty years, and
died ten years later, the lessee could not
hold it after his death. In England this
law has been changed. In that country,
unless the deed creating the life.estate for
bids, life.tenant can make valid lease for
any length of time under twenty-one years.
The crops of tenant for life, who. dies
before harvest time, belong to his heirs:
What one man soWs, no other eXcepthe and
his heirs have any right to reap.
In our days the estate for life is most COM
mon in the form of the estate by the coorte-
W of England and the estate of dover.
When a wife dies, having had children, her
husband has a right to hold during his life,
all lands belonging to her. He is called a
tenant by the courtesy. This right was
given to enable him to support his children
properly. When husband dies, his wife
has right to one-third Of all his lands for
her life. The rest goes to his heirs. She is
given less because she is not supposed to be
under any obligation to support her chill
dren.
Holders of estates by courtesy and dover
are life tenants. They have the same rights
in the land and are under the same obliga-
tions as holders of other life estates.

THE LAW IN REGARD TO ANIMALS.

Ordinarily wild animals are unprotected.
Any man may hunt and kill them. In some
places, however, regulations are made to
protect certain kinds of animals from hum
ters, so that the species may not become eX-
tinct.
Once confined and under the control Of
man, they become private property, and
are protected as such. To tai ke deer out
of park, or COW from pasture, is steal
ing. The old Norman kings of England
punished Devastating with death, but this
law has been long dead letter.
Animals that have money value, such
as cattle, sheep and pigs, have always been
considered, in law, as much private proper
ty as horses and lambs. Pet animals, like
dogs and cats, were formerly held of little
account. The man who stole COW could be
sent to prison for theft, but if he stole pet
dog, he could not be prosecuted as criml-
nal. The owner, however, could sue him
and recover damages for the loss. In later
years laws were passed to cover this de-
feet.
Owners of animals have always been liza
BILE for any mischief their pets may commit.
Formerly they were not liable unless they
knew their animals were dangerous. For
example, the first time dog killed sheep
the owner was not obliged to pay, but the
second time he was not excused.
A man may keep a fierce dog to protect
his house from burglars, but must see to it
that the dog is chained. If, then, he bites
person who carelessly goes too near the ken
mel, the owner is not responsible.
Modern laws hold dog-owner RESPONSE
BILE for the animals acts, even if he thinks
that the dog is not vicious. lnasmuch as
every dog IS liable to become fierce, the law
says that whoever keeps one must take MS
chances.
Any person may kill a dog that attacks
him while out of the control of it's owner
If the dog is worrying cattle or sheep, any
body may kill it. However, the dog is pro-
tected while on the land of its owner.
Nowadays nearly all countries have laws
providing dog-owners with licenses to keeE
| their animals. Unless every dog has ar
owner who is responsible for it, much dam
age would be done for which no one could
be called upon to pay. Under these laws
owners of unlicensed dogs may be fined
The dogs themselves are killed by public
officers who are specially charged with the
duty.
In the ancient German empire q curious
use was made of these animals. The En-
perors Otho I. and Frederick Barbarossa
condemned persons who were guilty OF try
ing to stir up sedition, and disturb the peace
of the public, to notoriety and derislon
The offenders had to carry dog upon thell
shoulders from one great town to another.
Uses of this kind are no longer in eXls
tence. Our dogs and other pets are dearel
to us, in that we are are obliged to take care
of them.-IfuhHs Companion.

CHARACTER IN THE HAND.-A hand
which is hard and stiff and has a difficulty
in opening to it's full extension indicates OBJ
stinacy and stubbOrnness. A large hand
indicates love of minuti2 and detail, me-
dunn hand takes in detail and also appre-
ciates entirety. Among musical people, the
most correct and learned musicians have
square fingers instrumentation, whether 1t
be the art of performing, or composing for
instruments, is found in spatuate or square
fingers while singers have nearly always
the third phalange pointed. Thus it will
be understood that while knots beautlfy
and improve a spatulate or square fingered
hand, on account of their natural useful
ness and aptitude for combination, to have
the Joints largely developed would be a
deformity or misfortune to a pointed or
conical fingered hand, seeing that the latter
are devoted to the finer and more liberal
arts, which necessarily succeeds best when
they are the offspring of inspiration and
spontaniety.
The Inherent natural shape of hand
never alters. Its concomitant conditions
may be changed by the subject being forced
into an occupation the opposite Of his geni-
us, inclination and natural tendency, but the
original aptitude and the form of finger
which donates it, always remain. Thus: II
subject obviously inclined towards, and
born for, poetry or art be forced by circum-
stances to become an engineer, or to pursue
any other practicable employment, the hand
will become hard, gross and mechanical,
but the pointed smoothe shape will still
remain undisguised.
Take the absolute rustic, free as air, with
out thought or mental cares of any kind,
his hands will be spatulate Or square, with
large joints. Take the circus rider, juggler,
gymnastic, dancer, rider, and so on, his
or large and conical, and very hard, for
these possess a kind of rugged instructive
grace.-The Language Of the Hand.
