STUDY OF TIE FAcE.-The human
face is one Of the most interesting
books. and we end library 10 every
room where friends and acquaintances
are gathered in large numbers. 1t is
pretty study and pleasing in all its
aspects. There are few faces to
which you cannot End some kind Of
likeness ia the lower world. Dogs
are Plentiful; SO are cats and cows,
and horses and birds; from the eager,
eagle-like face with its high nose
curved like beak, and deeply-set
eyes placed close under the brow, to
the simple-looking secretary bird
with it's weak, lank hair combed back
wards, its slanting forehead and fool
ish, forward nose; from the solemn
round-eyed owl, framed in furry
fluffy mass of hair, to the long-necked
crane, with less brains than "style."
Then there is the camel's face with
its long. protruding upper lip; and the
monkeys face, small, dark, and sharp;
the lions head, grand, majestic,
strong; and the bulls. not so beauti-
ful, but when Of the highest type, as
10 Hercules, head aud face that
mean good things enough. There is
the mouse's face, and its cousin the
rats. unlovely, both Of them. but not
necessarily bad. only indicative Of
peevishness, curiosity, and weakness;
and there is the toad's head, which
wears no jewel as far as we can see.
The tiger has its likeness 10 humanity;
90 have some insects, and 60 has the
snake. Sheep-like faces abound,
poor, weak, timid creatures; and We
know an elderly gentleman with white
hair, long nose. and long white
beard, whose likeness might be taken
for Q goats and the resemblance found

man includes strange likenesses SIT

A Youthful swindIer.

E a smooth faced boy, with spot of ink

worded scheme brought him shoal of
letters containing stamps.
An office in Fulton street, near the
4. City Hall was designated asthe place
where the epistles would be received and
answered. Two hundred and fifty LETT

ten cents each and young Kelly cleared

Faults OF Cur school System.

" We school the children too much. That

He then drove up to where the coyote
was kicking around IN the dust of the
road, and got down from his wagon to
finish the job by knocking Mr., Coyote in
the head. As he started around the head
of his team the coyote made dash at
the nearest horses leg, which it was
about to seize, when met by the heavy
boot on Traver's right boot, This seemed
only to increase the savageness of the
beast, which now turned upon the driver,
attempting to get at his throat. Traver
succeeded in keeping it at bay until be
