\ certain shoemaker says: Worn shoes go
ahead of the art of fortune telling from the
lines Of the hand. In your shoe, for instance,
sce irresolution, changeableneSs, inclination
to slovenliness and occasional paroxysms of
III humor. Show me any persons foot gear
after two months wear and will describe
the character of the person. If the soles and
heels are worn evenly, then the wearer is
resOlute, able business man with a clear head,
a trustworthy official, or an excellent wife
and mother
''lf the soul is worn on the outside, the
wearer is inclined TO adventurous, uncertain,
fitful deeds; or, if a woman, to bold, self
willed, capricious tricks. The sole being
worn on the inner side shows hesitation and
weakness in a man and modesty in a woman.
"A merchant sends regularly to me when
he needs clerk and has on my recommenda-
tion accepted several of my customers. He
says that 'shoeology' goes ahead of phrenol-
ogy. Several months ago a stranger came
into my store TO have his shoes mended.
They were worn on the outside OF the soles
while at the same time the points were some
what worn, but the other parts of the shoes
were almost as good as new | said to my
wife, That fellow is no good
The very next day boy came from the
station house for the shoes and said that the
wearer had been arrested for stealing A
young man who was a customer of mine for
years conrted two girls who also had their
work done by me. | noticed that one of the
girls wore her shoes on the outside first,
while the other one walked evenly and wore
both her shoes alike. | always liked the
young man, and as | saw that he wavered be-
tween the two girls | took him aside one day,
showed him the shoes of each girl and told
hIm what | have related to you concerning
them. He married the one who walked even
ly and was happy with her, while the other
one went to rum. From the German.

Names of Cigar.

What people don't know about the vari-
Gus names applied to cigars would fill book, ="
said a Newcastle street cigar dealer to a
Brunswick (Gal Times reporter. Il have
beard men laud perfectns to the skies, as
though the word perfectos was name or a
quality name. And again / have heard a
man say a perfecto was not a perfecto, be
cause it was different In favor from a per
fecto he smoked some time before. How alb
surd he was will he plain to you if you under
stand properly the Specification of cigar
names. The word perfectos is used to desig-
nate the peculiar shape of such cigars Work
men get more for making them than for max
ing others, as it Is not 81 easy to roll the ma
terial into the perfecto shape
For this reason perfecto would necessarily
cost more than a cigar of the same material
but less difficult to make. But as far as the
word goes it is used only TO indicate the shape
of the cigar. Besides words used to designate
the shape we have words which refer to size.
Such words are finas, grandes. OF the terms
applied To shapes | may cite Trabucos Lon
dres, Conchas, Reina Victorias, Pantatelas,
Regalias-these words being plurals The
language, you see, is Spanish, and the names
were first applied by the Cubans Words
which indicate size and shape are Infantes,
applied to tiny cigars; Princesses and Ele-
gantes. Combinations of size and shape give
such names as Conchas Finas, Conchas Spe-
ciales, Londres Grandes, SO that in two words
you have the shape and size indicated.

MY OLD FASHIONED GIRL.

As the clock on the stairs ticks the minutes away
sit with my pipe at the close OF the day,
And In the light smoke wreaths that softly arise
Are numberiess visions In fanciful guiss
In sunbonnet olden dreaniily see
Two roguish blue eyes gancing shyiy at me:
The incense arises In one lazy curl
Enframing the face of My Old Fashioned Girl
look once again in her soft azure eyes
Live over our meetings meath June's tender skies
As We stroled side by side down some shadowy
tame
or skirted the acres or ripening graia,
" bile II but heafken hear even vet
Her faiTylike steps In dim miuuet,
And there comes from the smoke in a delicate
The willowy form of My Old Fashioned Girl
hear the sweet that heard years ago
And her hand touches mine as we pass To and fro
When we meet for instant in old Money Musk
Or tenderly clasp IL at midsummer's dusk
And each haunting vision in fragrant disguise
Grows fainter and fainter and finally dies
Yet one face is left me- pure a pearl
The face Of my darling My Old fashioned Girl
In the sweet little miss who climbs up on my knee
To kiss grandpa good night" there is something
Isee.
Unseen by all others. deep down 10 her eyes
A something within them that half hidden lies,
She wonders perhaps why hold her small hand.
But II ! should tell her, she'd not understand
That grandmother yonder beyond the smokes

DEATH OF JOHN BRlGHT.

A London dispatch Of the 9th an.
nounced the death ct John Bright, who
Tor oyer fifty years figured most prom.
nently in English politics. He was
born at Greenbank in 1911, and was one
of tho few English statesmen who threw
all his eloquepce and vlgor III favor Of
the North during our Late civil war.
With all his early efforts in BEHALF of
human freedom ii is sad 70 think that
John Bright should have proved in his
later days 80 uncomprornising foe of
Ireland's cause in her struggle for home
rule. Bitter and unrelenting as he was
in his denial of her just rights, We can
yet respect him for his frankness and
candor. Rather pity than TO criticize
him now for the great error of his life
ar, error that history can never ex-
pun%e.

THE comparatively sudden death of
Father Coen Of Woodford, Ireland, on

not only among the people of his parish
but to all who have heard of the good

bore the flag Of his oppressed people
against the rack-rent robbers of the

nnent was made for services rendered

their ranks as a man to hopOr was
highly proper, an act that all his coun-
trymen. regardless OF their political
affiliations, could heartily endorse. But
he certainly deserved better at the
hands Of the Republican party. The
insignificant appointment to Chill was
certainly a very grudging recognition
for faithful political services, looking

Fastening to clear themselves of the
imputation of sympathy with the for
geries, perjuries and infamies of the
Times. The Government and the
newspaper stood together, worked to-
gether, helped each other; the power,
resources. officials and machinery of the
nation were used to help the prosecu-
ton, but, having failed, they must fall
together
But this collapse of the Timse case IS
only a final and emphatic reiteration of
a lesson which history has taught sue
cessive British governments generation
after generation, but which those gov
ernments stupidly refused to learn and
apply. That lesson is that no reliance
is to be placed on Irish informers. For
once an Irishman betrays his country he
becomes utterly abandoned, thoroughly
depraved He falls like Lucifer, never
TO rise again, and is Just as likely ODE
tray those for whom he works as those
whom he works against. at war with
himself, maddened by an accusing con-
science, he becomes maniacal in his
purposes and generally ends his career
after the manner Of Castlereagh and
Pigott. How can British ministers ex
pect MIN to be true to them whom they
have proven to be a traitor to their coun-
try and to their kindred2 Nowhere is
ali informer detested with a greater
loathing than IN Ireland, and with
greater reason. Irishmen know that
when an lrishman is false to Ireland it
is all up with him. Like an lrishwo-
man who becomes bad, he is thoroughly,
irreclaimably bad. Death is the penalty
for Englishmen who turn traitors to
their country. Are Irish traitors to
their country less worthy Of tie same
fate in the eyes of Irishmen ? How
foolish of Epglishmen toreward treach-
cry and hope to find it tue.
But new light is dawning on the
English mind. The Parnell Commits
sion has taught Englishmen what an
INSCRIPTIONS breed of rapscallions has
been produced in Ireland by Castle
methods of lnformer culture. Fellows
who Will do anything, swear to any
thing. Look at ''Balfour's Remoy-
ables." Was there eyer such pack of
unmitigated scoundrels seen on earth
before ? Take Captain Piunkett and
Cecil Roach for instance. is it possible
for humanity to be more degraded ?
Yet they and their like are the product
of the devellsh system which has long
prevailed in ireland as government ~
When that system is abolished they

FRIENDS Of home rule every where,
and Of the grand old man, Gladstone,
are delighted with the result of the
election at the tory town of Kenning-
ton, on the outskirts of London, which
BY an overwhelming majority returned
a liberal member to parliament in
place of the tory candidate. That this
result was achieved by the growing in.
terest among the English masses to
grant home rule to Ireland, and as q
detestati on of the cowardly efforts of
the London Times to besmirch the
character of the Irish parliamentary
leaders, is conceded on all sides, and
should a general election be held in
Great Britain today the tory party
would unquestionably suffer an ignoble

.REAPING THE WHIRLWIND.

Il. T.. O'Connor's paper is authority
for the fact that the London Times is
already reaping, in immediate pros
pectiye ruin, the appropriate fruits of
it's rascaly attacks on the Irish people
and their leaders. The solicitor OF the
Times has officially notified the stock
holders that the whole profits Of the
paper for the last year something about
half million dollars have been swal,
lowed up by the expense Of the Pigott
conspiracy, so that they need expect no
dividends; while the proprietors are
now threatened with suits for damages
from all sides. But, if thus bad be-
eins. worse remains behind" The Lon
don Star says: 1.-The latest story in the
citv about the Times is that an at
tempt is being made to dispose Of the
naper to Limited Liability Company,
in order to give it fresh start. The
fact appears to be that the past, pre-
sent. and future expenses due to the
'Parnellism and Crime articles cannot
be met without much larger stock OF
ready monsy than Mr.. Walter can COM
mand. Any attempt to borrow would
involve financial straits which would
cripple the paper for q long time to
come. The best course, therefore, is to
sell the property, pay the damages out
of the proceeds, and divide the remain
der amongst the different proprietors
either in cash or fully paid up shares. :"

Now THAT King Milan has vacated
the throne Of Servia, no one has a
friendly word to say for him. He is
described as the most PREDICATE and be-
bauched Of modern mcnarchs. The
suicide of Crown Prince Rudolph has
been to Milan source of great uneasi-
ness. He seems to have presentiment
that fate no less tragic awaits him
self as the end of his disso!ute career.
But the schismatical Church of Servia
cuts the most deplorable figure of all
in the whole array OF circumstances.
That Church, that should have been
the bulwark of the Divine law, yielded
to the kings will by granting him di.
vorce, without even the excuse that
there were the grounds on which d.
vorce might he obtained IN Chicago or
Boston. But this is the natural result
of the system of National Churches.
The Servia Church did no more for
King Milan than a Church nearer to us
did three hundred years ago for the
equally profigate and tyrannical Henry
VIII, The sanctity of marriage will be
upheld only by the Church Universal
which acknowledges one head through
