Relics of Early Barbarfsu,.

Few who bedeck themselves with gold and
silver ornaments pause to reflect upon the
original Specification Of such things, or i'm
agine that they are the relics Of the barbar-
ism of our early history. Yet undoubtedly
such is the case. The glittering necklet
which the Nineteenth century lady clasps
around her neck is only survival Of the old
practice OF plscing a metal collar upon q
slave as a mark Of ownership, and the brace
let of the maiden and the manacle Of the
felou have common origin. In the same
way rings were once worn as badge of
serfdom, but possibly because Of the ease
with which they could be detached from the
finger and destroyed their use for this pur-
pose was soon abandoned
Among the early Jews they were used as a
symbol Of authority. Pharaoh placed his
ring upon the finger Of Joseph when be rnade
him ruler over Egypt, as sign that be had
invested him with supreme power; and King
AhsSuerus sealed his grant to Mordecai and
tho Jews with his signet ring, saying, THAT
which is sealed with the kings seal no man
may reverse" In medieval times the sicnet
ring Of q sovereign or powerful noble was
considered sufficient warrant Of authority,
and TO the wearer was an open sesame in oil
places where its owner had influence Some
of this signidcation has been handed down to
our own day, and bishops still wear q ring
upon tie third finger OF the right band as Q
mark OF their episcopal authority.-Loudon

Occupation and Facial Expression.

mans occupation or condition has good
deal to do with making his facial expression.
Intellectual pursuits, like studies or the schol-
arly professions, when coupled with temperate
and moral habits of life, brighten the face
and give a person a superior look Magma
nimity Of nature, or love of studies and arts,
will make bright, glad face, but, contrary
TO this, n man may have face that does not
please anybody, because OF a love of self TO
the exclusion of all others, Notwithstanding
his learning and worldly shrewdness. Sol
diers set hard, severe look, overworked
laborers constantly look tired, reporters look
lnquisitive, mathematicians look studious.
Judges become grave, even when or the
bench. the man who has had domestic trouble
looks all broken up. An example of the ludi-
crous side Of this subject is to see third
class lawyer stalking around a police court
looking wise as an owl. The business makes
the face, say. There's the butchers face.
the saloon keepers face, the beggar's face,
the ministerial face, the lawyers face. the
doctors face, tie hoodlum's face, all so dis
tinct each from the other and sincly, that I
seldom fail 70 recognize those callings show
ing through the faces And what city boy
cannot recognize genuine farmer ON the
street as farmer the moment he sees himf-

The Cherities of New York.

The charities of New York city are almost
boundless. They run far up into the millions
every year, and, while it Is an unquestioned
fact that the vast too vast, army Of the poor
ere growing poorer and sinking deeper into
the mire Of dependency and despair, a ma,
jority Of our people are standing on substan-
tial ground, and all, who combine with &C
tivity and industry reasonable degree Of
prudence and sagacity in the present for tho
comings Of the future, improve, as the years
roll on, mentally, morally, physically and
pecuniarily. That this people Is making
marked progress along the upper realms
of literature, art, science can readily be
shown. Look at our magnificent bazars,
where are books, the very publishing of
which, the very physical attractiveness Of
which, is suggestion. Look at our picture
galleries Read the reports, semi-monthly
at the very least, of sales Of notable pictures,
running all the way from humble hundreds
to ambitious thousands, by the score. Good
taste is evident in selection, wisdom in ap-
parent extravaganza.
We have salons in New York where lines
and rows of the best works by the best
masters can be seen. Our public galleries as
yet amount 10 but little, but our private col
sell we'll Cyclopadias, histories, attractive
volumes Of Poetic genius find no stinted mar
ket. Lectures on scientific subjects, particu-
larly such as take hold Of the stars above
and the earth beneath, are literally patron
lied. Experts whose Investigations, long
and patient and enduring, bring down to the
understanding of the common mind those
wonderful worlds beyond the ken of the or
binary, are listened to with rapt attention.
Instructive and entertaining lectures apropos
of discoveries, not alone in foreign countries,
but in our own unknown land, intelligently
put, in popular phrase and in understand
able language, are heard with uufeigned In
terest. The time has come when man seeks
to know something of his part The story Of
preglacisl man, prehistorical man, the story Of
the stars, not only interest book worms, ex-
plorers and expeditioners, but are found in
the boudoir Of beauty and on the table Of
the htterateur.-Joe Howard ID Boston Globe.

THE "pALo DE IECHE.n


Less mythical and perhaps more striking
are the accounts given of the palo de lechs
of TERRA Caliente-the hot coast lowlands.
The term palo de leche means simply milky
plant, and is applied from the milky charac-
ter of the sap exuded from all the plants OF
this genus All these trees belong to the
Euphorbiacee. one of which is the Euphor-
bia poinsettia or Pulcherrima, whose scarlet
whorls of bracts are SO effective in gardens
or conservatories This splendid Euphorbia
is known in Mexico as ''the flower Of the ma
tivity." It is used as o remedy in pulmon-
airy affections have never seen anything
like the lu1uriance of its growth around
Cuernavaca the city where Macmillan had
his summer residence A great many OF tho
euphorbaceous plants, ii not all, are called
palo de leche, and their uses are diverse. The
Indians Of the coast use it for fishing, simply
throwing the leaves into the water. when the
fish, stupe6ed, rise to the surface
The principal use among these people,
however, Is q far less innocent one-destroy-
ing life instead of contributing to its sup
port The thick, acrid, milky juice or sap
Is extremely poisonous If thrown upon q
fire it gives out fumes which produce an
agonizing headache and nausea. Taken in
ternally, it is deadly poison, which causes,
according TO the way it is prepared and ad-
ministered, death or insanity. 1t is popu-
larly supposed that the madness Of the III
fated Empress Carlotta was caused by palo
de leche. Me1icans often deny this state
ment, but they admit and fear its deadly
power in other respects
1t is strongly esseverated that the Indians
can so prepare the poison as to regulate the
period of time In which it will prove fatal
Foreign chemists with whom l have talked

ness with which can be determined the op-

fact remains that palo de leche is most
powerful and deadly substance, and many
are the tragedies enacted through its instru-
mentality in tho TERRA Caheate The mega

lions of the practice OF the Indians. whose
