attempts to leap the fall, tumble into this

misfortune that the pit is actually filled

part OF the coast, and for many generations
they have come, at the proper time each

LANGUAGE OF THE EYEs.-In a paper
on the eyes read before the late English
Social Congress, it is said that very quiet
eyes, which impress and embarrass one with
their repose, signify not only self-com-
mand, but also much complacency and
some conceit. Restless eyes that cannot
look one steadily in the face denote de-
ceitful, designing mind. Eyes in which
the white has a yellowish tinge and is
streaked with reddish veins indicate strong
passion and hasty temper. Very blue
ewes Indicate mind inclined TO coquetry.
Gray eyes signify dignity, intelligence and
excellent reasoning faculties; greenish
eyes, falsehood and fondness for scandal
A malicious mind is often indicated by
greenish eyes. Black eyes show u passion
ate, lively temperam mt, and often most
deceitful disposition.

Mrs. LANGTRY AND THE AUTHoR.-A
pretty story with a lovely moral is current
in the middle class of English society to
the effect that Mrs. Langtry, when in New
York, sent for a young American dramatist
who had been recommended as a good per
son to write play for her. He called and
was about to take seat; Mrs. Langtry en-
tered the room. Without word of for
mality she surveyed him with cold, Eng
fish stare, and then circled clear around
him, looking at him the whole time. Ii
was of course, cminently agreeable to be
surveyed like 4 horse on sale. But he
stood it. Having completed her survey
she asked, almost contemptuously F." And
do you think that you can write play ~
The author, who had made several sue
cesses, replied, in civil tone: "Wel, /
don't know. dare say may be about as
competent to write a play as you are to act
one They did not come to terms.

CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL-A short time
ago young woman residing not far from
Whitby was telling in neighbor's
house how her husband had been troubled
for several days with severe pain in his
head, that she had done everything she
could think of to relieve it, that even the
doctors medicine didn't seem to do any
good, and she was about tired out. There
upon new neighbor, who had Just been
introduced to her, kindly asked if she had
tried soaking his feet in mustard and hot
water. Greatly to the establishment of the
woman who had made the suggestion, the
wife turned upon her like tigress "In-
suit my affection, will you, you shameful
hussy" gasped the wife of the sick man,
working her fingers convulsively, her
blood rising to boiling heat and her voice
getting higher and higher. The hostess at
this point interposed in the defense of the
new neighbor, and quiet was finally re-
stored. After the wife had retired, and
explanations were entered into, it APP
peared that some years before the sick
husband had been deprived of both his
legs by piece of machinery, and there
had been story that his. present wife
married him for his money. People
should be more careful in giving medical
advice to strangers English Exchange

STORY OF a DEATH CERTIFICATE.-
During quarrel peasant in the province
Of Novgorod was struck in the chest with
an AK, fracturing several ribs and wound
ing the lungs. He was in an extremely
critical condition, and a doctor from the
nearest town, 60 miles distant, was sent
for. The surgeon, as is customary in
Russia, took his time, and reached his pa
tent by the slowest stages. The man by
this time had nearly succumbed to his in
iuries, and stood very little chance of re-
coyery. The doctor made an examination
and pronounced the wound as fatal He
waited several hours, thinking that the
man in the meantime would die; but
things did not turn out as he expected, so
in order to facilitate matters and save him
the trouble of again visiting his patient he
made out a death certificate and started
home. For some reason or other the man
took it into his head to get well, and he
began to grow better until he recovered
entirely. The authorities, learning of the
strange proceeding, demanded the return
Of the death certificate, which was refused,
and now the man walks about in the full
possession of the consolation that he is
legally dead, and that his body lies buried
in the village churchyard according to his
death Certificate London Echo.

An Interesting Exhibit.

Every change in the administration of
the National Government has a marked
effect upon the personal fortunes of many
men, and indirectly upon a large part of
the population. When the new President
belongs to the same party as his predecessor,
great changes are even then made III the
offices. And when new political party
comes into power, removals are made with
a sweeping hand. The Civil Service Act.
which was introduced by Democratic
Senator, aims to prevent removals of most
of the subordnates i'll the Government

causes. In the customs service, for in
stance, it permits the removal of the Col

of the employees secure. But this Act has
not yet been subjected to any crucial test,
and divergent views prevail as to how far
ii may be tritied with.
At any rate changes of great importance
to many officeholders and their families
are approaching and it will no doubt be
of interest at this juncture-especially to
