copper-colored young Indian, who seemed

About Face.

A mans occupation or condition, says an
exchange, has good deal to do with MAX
ing his facial expression We have noticed
this frequently but never thought of writing
it out. Butchers generally have beefy
expression, and you can tell whisky drinker
by his rye face. Dentists look down in the
mouth while detectives look up criminals.
Victims to insomnia have a wide awake
expression both day and night. Mirth
makes wrinkles in mans face equal to
sorrow, and tn It is why it is difficult to tell
comedian from an undertaken, off the
stage. Drummers are all cheek and BARRIERS
all chin. The majority Of fighting me
have black eyes, more or less often, but
blue eye doesn't necessarily indicate
that its possessor is subject to the blues.
Time was when a man had portion of
his face knocked off he had to go the
remainder of his life that way, but it is diff
ferent now. The surgeon has advanced so
much in skill that he is able to put good
face on the matter, anyhow. He can even
face trouble, without showing where it is
stitched on. Speaking about trouble, a
well-to-do barber will "pull a poor face" if
fifteen cents goes with it. Finally, the
homeliest face can win beauty, with money
to make up the difference, while the hand
soonest man at bar sometimes finds that
his face isn't good for the drinks. TsxaS

A Matter of Enunciation.

"What is that?" said traveller to fellow

in order to surprise his mother. He added

MARY HAD A LITTLE WATCH.

Mary had little watch
Full many years ago,
And everywhere that Mary went
The watch was sure to go.
She took the watch TO school one day,
To let the scholars hear,
And great was their delight to see
The works and winding gear.
Next day this watch would go no more;
She fastened to a shop,
The jeweler looked quite wise and said,
" You did not wind it up"
Now she would not eat nor sleep,
Began to wind and fret,
And if she hasn't died since then
You'll find her winding yet.

She tripped away, and in few moments

carriage, little thinking t at indignant eyes
watched him through the blinds Of the upper
window.
And then they whirled away. Hours after,
on their homeward drive, Clifford gave his
high stepping grays the reins, and watched
Ethel who was intent upon arranging the
evergreen they had gathered on their
Journey. After awhile he broke the silence.
''Ethel," he said, what am about to say
may seem hasty and premature to you; but
/ have lately discovered secret that has
lived in my heart ever since my happy, old
college days. "Ethel, l love you'll"
She dropped her evergreen, and looked
up, her brown eyes wide and startled.

fair cheeks a afame, ''what can say, it is
so sudden; and you forget that liam
very, very poor"
'Money is no object to me, Ethel; have

love me. Do you think you ever CAM
She looked up again, as if to read his face
and its passionate tenderness dazzled her.
She clasped her hands, and sat for moment
in intense thought.
"Speak to me, Ethel" urged the
impatient lover. "Can you learn to love
me 7"
She broke into a childish little laugh,
though her eyes were swimming with tears.
'Indeed, Mr.. Murray" she replied
artlessly, II never thought of such thing
in all my life; but dear papa tho light so

she added, with charming confusion, and
putting out her little fiuttering hand shyly,

Clifford caught the little hand, and
covered it with rapturous kisses; and that
was the end or beginning, rather. And just
here we will drop the curtain, for language
would be inadequate to portray the amazed
wrath, the bitter disappointment that over
whelmed the house of Wallingford, when il
became known that Ethel had won the prize.

Progress in Rome.

Whether we adopt the view that the
Book of Revelation is a general pro-
phetic panorama of the church in all
ages, or accept the theory of some mod
ern scholars that it specially relates to
Nero and the era of persecution, it is
equally evident that the city of Rome
is in the foreground of the apostles
vision, and that Roman influence, po-
litical and religious, is an important
factor in shaping the destinies of Chris
tendon. The recently-publshed vol
ume of Signor Rodolf Lanciani, gov
eminent director of excavations, is
therefore of more than ordinary arch
geological interest. The city, so long
stagnant under the popes, since its oc-
cupation by the Italian government has
been completely transformed. During
the last seventeen or eighteen years
eighty-two miles of new streets have
been made, over 200 houses have been
built or enlarged, 270,000,000 cubic
feet of earth have been removed from
buried objects and carted beyond the
city walls, the sum of S27 900, 900 has
been spent, thousands of more or less
important works of art have been dis
inferred and the population of the city
has increased from 100000 to 379, 200.
Among the remarkable scientific re-
suits are the following, to quote the
authors own words: "We have dis
covered a new archaeological stratum,
totally unknown before-the stratum of
prehistoric or traditional antiquities;
we have discovered a metropolis older
than the walls of Servius Tullius, con-
tanning more than 5000 archaic speci-
mems in bronze, amber, stone and clay;
we have brought to light more than
5000 feet of the great dgger, or en-
bankment of Servius, and ascertained
the site of fourteen gates we have un-
earthed the remains of numberless
houses and palaces, temples and shrines,
roads and drains, parks and gardens,
fora and porticos, fountains and aque-
ducts, tombs and mausolei, to such an
extent that whereas, before 1872, sci
ence possessed only approximate at
tempts at an archaeological map of
Rome, we have put at the disposal of
students magnificent ones, covering an
area of 1867 200 square meters of the
ancient city" Although the work of
excavating the Forum began as late as
1870, it is now possible to "walk over
