Literature of the Face.

Observe how, when the shrewd
palmist is reading the lines of hand.
he scans the face with almost equal in

how soul dwells in the eye; and the
ability to understand its language is
Unborn with most folks without having

persons have told me that more power
of discrimination rested in their hands
than they could read from every feature
of the face, the fingers being so full of
vision that they could feel color with
out seeing it; so full of nerves that an
impression was instantaneous and
could be relied upon; SO full of life
that when their pOSsessor was in love
they tingled with an affectionate intox-
ication.
1t is said that very quiet eyes that
impress and embarrass one with their
repose signify self-command, and also
much complacency and some copceit.
Restless eyes that cannot look one
steadily in the face denote deceitful.
designing mind. Eyes in which the
white has 4 yellowlsh tinge and is
streaked with reddish veins, prove
much of strong passion and hasty tenn
per. Very blue eyes bespeak mind
inclined to coquetry; grey 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 a pas
sionate, lively temperament, and often
times most dcceitful disposition;
brown eyes are generally tender and
true, indicating kind and happy dis
position.
OF the nose. A Roman nose denotes
an enterprising, business-lke charac-
ter; 4 long nose is a sign of good sense;
u perfectly straight nose indicates q
pure and noble soul, unless the eye
contradicts it; u 2ez retrOuSSe signifies q
spirit of mischief, wit and dash; a large
nose generally indicates large mind and
good nature, but lack of energy.
Thick lips generally mean either great
genius or great stupidity; very thin
lips, cruelty, righteousness, and if the
lips are habitually compressed, false
hood. Dimples on the cheek are
known as the abodes of roguery, and
in the chin of Cupid and his pranks.

erect posture, open nostrils. moist tenn

a NIlGInaid in Top Boots.

a wealthy farmer in Rutherford
County not long since was applied to
by good-looking lad for work, the
boy saying that he preferred to drive q
harvester or wagon or do other light
work about the farm. The applicant
looked so delicate that the farmer re-
fused the request, but gave the lad the
name of farmer in the adjoining
county who wanted boy to milk COWS.
The situation was sought and the lad
taken on trial. The two farmers met
q few days since in Nashville, and got
to talking about the lad. Said the en-
ployer of the boy: He is the best
mixer | ever saw, and can get more
milk from the COWS than any one lever
had before him, He attends strictly TO
business, and suits me first-rate, but
I'm afraid he is going to create q SEN
sation yet"
Being pressed by his friend, the farm
er was compelled to admit that his
wife had discovered, through the mer-
est accident, that the supposed boy he
had employed to milk the COWS was Il
woman. ''When | found it out | told
my wife the girl would have to 90, as
it would never do to have our neigh
bors know we had woman parading
around the farm in top-boots. Ny wife
told me she didn't think anybody else
would ever find it out, and it was worth
while taking the chances on it, as the
lad suited us SO we'll. | liked George,
and took my wife's advice, and | think
she will be able to stay with Us and
wear mems clothes as long as she
wants to. "
She lived up in Indiana and had
heard about Middle Tennessee, where
you could throw your hat on the ripen-
inc wheat and it would bear it UP, il
was so thick and strong. so she deter
mined to come down here and get work
on farm, where she could work in the
open air nearly all the year round. It
was then that she determined to carry
out q long-cherished plan, that of as
Stunning the garb OF man, which added
so much to her independence in seek
ing situation. And you ought to see
henry mixer. She's q dandy, [ can
tell you. She weighs about 40 pounds,
is large for :; woman, being about five
feet eight. Her hair is black, and she
parts it Oh the side and wears it very
short. She has large feet and hands,
and wears kip boots two sizes too long
for her. She has round face and a
roguish twinkle in her large black eyes,
and her coarse shirt is always kept
buttoned close around her well-shaped
neck.
when 1 tell you she wears wide
brimmed, coarse straw hat on the back
OF her head, and tight fitting green
jean pants thrust loosely in the top of
her coarse boots, always has word
and q joke for everybody and is very
much liked by my wife, ] leave you
nothing to add to the picture. -Nash-

Garfield'S Monument

Keller's design was accepted by the
Garfield monument committee. The
monument will be about two hundred
feet high, and will resemble a shot
tower. Mr.. Keller says it will take
three wears to build it. The BODY of
Garfield will be deposited in ground
vault beneath the monument. Hard
sandstone will be used in the construc-
ton. The coats-of-arms of all the
states will ornament the surface of the
monument, each being placed beneath
a window. The committee has been Sc
verely criticised for its selection. The
shaft of the monument will be hollow.
The ground plan resembles balloon on
its side with basket attached. In the
basket-shaped part of the monument
will be flight of stairs, which will
enter the monument thirty feet from
the ground, q relic-roOm, and vesti-
bule. a bronze gate will lead into the
tower from the Yestibule. Within the
tower will be room thirty feet high,
containing q large marble statue of
Garfield and a number of polished
granite pillars. Numerous stained
glass windows will throw mellow
light upon the statue. The inside
will be more artistic than the out
side. Visitors will be permitted to
enter the vestibule, but not the tower.
All they can see of the interior of the
latter will be through the bars of the
bronze gate. Il is estimated that the
monument will cost $150,001.

Animal Intelligence.

Oae night n loud knock was heard at
the back door, and Us the door could
not be reached by any one outside eX-
cept by getting over the garden wall,
some alarm was caused On the knock
being impatiently repeated, the door
was opened, and the cat (''Alrs. Afuf-
fins'') walked in with great dignity.
Since then she has never failed 10 make
known her presence in the same way,
always waiting after the first knock.
Some weeks elapsed before it was as
certained how the knocking was pro-
duced, but at length it was discovered
that slip of wood which runs down
the side of the door was loose ut the
bottom; this slip she pulls out with her
paw, and then allows it to rebound.
She is very affectionate mother. Some
time ago her mistress. by accident,
hurt her kitten. Mrs. Mullins
walked up to her and gave ner two or
three sharp slaps on the dress. To-day
the same thing has occurred; but on
this occasion, as the servant was the
offender, Mrs. Mullins followed her
into the kitchen to chastiSe her. 1 may
also add that she has shown great in
telligence in making her wants known
to her friends

Women, says Miss Howe, in her
new novel, .'are neither angels VINO
stand UNNECESSARILY above men, nor
inferior beings whose place is at their
feet; but human like themselves, full
Of good and faulty instincts, and, with
al their imperfections, the God-given
helpmates of man. Thus justly should
they be judged; and if little mercy
be claimed for them, generosity should
not deny it, so few are their chances
in life compared with those OF their
brothers. A woman has but one posi-
bility of happiness in this world. The
stakes are high on which she risks
her all, and she may lose it by one un-
redeemable throw.

A ChanpA.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
Saul was among the prophets and Joseph E.
Mcdonald is among the dudes.
1t is well known that the prime cause of OPP
position by the universal dude to a protective
tariff is that it causes him to pay duty on
British broadcloths, in which he wishes to encase
his delicate legs To wedge these tender limbs
into American cloth, made up in the society
fashion, is too narrowing for his sensitive nature
and plain violation of the Constitution of the
United States and so he kicks against the
tariff party and the tariff principle.
And now comes Hon. Joseph E. Mcdonald, in
his own proper rotund person, and, joining the
dude idea with his own, declares that no man
would wear American cloths on his neither limbs
if he could help it, being ashamed to have his
legs covered and compressed by American goods
fitting tighter than the skin.
l do not think that the Hon Joe's form was
designed for the dude dress even in British
broadcloth; but to press those robust thighs into
American cloths is too horrible 'for anything
and while 1 cannot blame him for his choice Of
associates, l wonder he did not think of it
sooner. l have often felt a keen sorrow for the
poor dude, as have reflected how sharper Ito
him) than serpent's tooth" it was to have to
wear American cloths on his delicate form, and
have thought Of the tears he has shed in secret
over his hard lot brought upon him by the Re
publican tariff, and wonder l do not feel the
same sorrow for Joseph but don't

A FriphtfuI Fall.

Leonard Meskin, baker, living in the Sterling
Block, on Virginia avenue, near the c., l., st. L.
81 c. Railroad tracks, accidentally fell from the
third story of the building, last night, about II
o'clock, and was dangerously injured internally,
although no bones were broken He was taken
to the police station, and after being examined
by Police Surgeon Hodges, was sent to the City
Hospital for treatment The case is a peculiarly
sad one, as a child of the injured man was lying
dead in the room from which he fell and is to be
buried this morning at o'clock. The nature of
Meskills injuries are not known, but the doctors
think that there has been some serious internal
rupture that will result fatally.
