Going almost anywhere, especially In a
populous city, one sees many people, and in
seeing people one sees faces. There is much
in a gait, the swing Of arms, and the poise Of
the body as Indicative Of character, but, after
all, the more expressive and truthful index is
the face.
In the study of faces 1t is quite probable
that women prefer as their text book some
thing bound in a shirt and illustrated with a
mustache 1t is equally probable that men,
in physiognomic study, prefer the smooth
vellum Of a woman's cheek This difference
in taste is not unnatural, however antipodean
it may be in its characteristics.
This study Of faces IS one in which no time
needs be lost. The human books are always
before the student and always open. He can
find them anywhere. They are Of all kinds
Of contents and all qualities Of binding. Here

The wholesale slaughter of birds in the
name Of fashion is having a most remarkable
effect in France. Hitherto that country has
been a favorite summer home Of theswallows,
which each year came over from Africa,
where they had spent the winter, in count
less hosts. Their plumage being in great de-
mand for milliners' uses, a few years ago
plan was devised for killing them by thou
sands without injuring their skins or feathers.
Huge systems Of electric wires, heavily
charged. were stretched along the southern
coast, particularly about the mouths Of the
Rhone, where the birds arrived in greatest
numbers. Wearied by their long flight
across the Mediterranean, the swallows
eagerly alighted on the wires to rest, aud
were instantly struck dead. At last, how
ever, they have learned wisdom, and are not
only avoiding the deadly wires, but are shun.

less you have definitely decided on the price
and style Of the article, and are fully certain

tradespeople are not used to it and are APT 70

record that Of Nice and Mentona, presents
the character Of a most unjustifable outrage
on a party of American ladies, it must be
confessed that in at least half the instances

fault and not the tradespeople
Also American women when they come to
Europe, are apt to go shopping ON a most
haphazard plan, especially in the way of or
dering dresses. They will not stop to get in
formation about the dressmakers they desire
to patronize from any person experienced in
such matters, but they will order from wo-
men who carry pattern goods about to the
hotels always a most risky course Of proceed

leave their orders without making a single
inquiry as to the character Of the establish.
ment they have made up their minds to pa
tronize. In nine cases out Of ten these tempt
ing pattern dresses have been bought Of some
one Of the great dressmakers Of Paris, and
not stitch was ever set in them in the house
wherein they are shown. So the foreign'cus-
toner is apt to be a good deal disappointed

they are sent home.-Paris Letter in Phila-

Tennyson is described as being very angry
at the recent throwing upon the market Of
the MSS. Of some Of his earlier works, to-
gether with original editions containing
interlineations by hispen. That very intimate
friends, to whom these were given, should
have disposed of them for filthy lucre is a
queer vagary of British taste. It is said Of
the Tennyson of today; His tendency to
shrink from proximity to the madding crowd
is well known Even the queen has not such
a dislike for casual human kind as has the
poet laureate, who it is well known, gave up
the loved abode Of many years because it was
approachable by passersby His horror Of
intrusion upon his privacy is peculiarly
evolSed by this handing out Of his manu-
scripts on which are set forth many evidences
Of his innernlost self communings He has
taken the best possible means TO prevent his
memoirs being written, keeping no record of
his correspondence, much less a diary. When
am dead he said to a friend permitted to
join him IN the companionship Of a pipe, 4

The following instance of a curious belief
held by country folk may interest some Of
your readers. An old man in this parish lin
East Kent, who Is in full possession Of his
faculties, and, moreover, has a considerable
stock Of knowledge Of things connected with
the farm and garden, informed me the other
day Of the following remarkable fact % in
natural history. He told me, quite seriously,
that if a hair be taken during summer
from the tail Of horse and placed in run
ming stream it would before long become a
water snake or an eel, the result depending,
1t appeared, upon The "breed Of the horse "
The root Of the hair becomes the head Of the
new creaturel This experiment he had tried,
and though, somehow, he had not seen these
hairs grow to full maturity, he had undoubt-
edly seen life developed in them feel sure
my old friend thoroughly believed all this
he IS too old to have studied biology at a
board school or he might be wiser. Perhaps
this belief is held elsewhere, but I do not re-
member ever meeting with it before,-Speo-

An EoCentrIo's VIII.

An eccentric old gentleman who recently
died in Tyler, Tex, left a sum Of money to
be divided among persons now living in the
south whose birth was coincident with his
own-May o, 1885. If every person who Is
entitled TO share puts in a claim there will
not be much for each one. There are in the
United States at least 100000 persons who
we're born in the United States in the year
1898, and Of those the number in the southern
states would be about 10000 Assuming
that May of that year was an average one
for births, there are now living in the United
States I, 100 persons who were born on that
day, and 400 of them are residents of the
