reputation that his long, lallk figure

AS ! have said, Mr.. Jimpson Jones
was long and lank. There w;ls a pc
culiarity about his lcngth-it was all

all lay in his legs. Wonderful things
were those legs. With such extre,ni

In short, there WAS nothing those

FACIAL GYMNASTICS.
How Ones Countenance Becomes
the Index of Ones Character.

How Ones Countenance Becomes
the Index ofOne's Character.
Emma Moffett Tying, in Harper's Bazaar.
The face is the Index, the mirrow
of thought. "Watch mans face,
note the eye-fiash, catch his express
sion, and you know the man no need
of words" says the Lavater of today,
the man of shrewd business tact.
and SO it is i'm truth, since, with pity
be it said, Talleyrand is often right:
"Words are used but to conceal
thought" When thought is suf-
ficiently strong to stir the nature, it
shows itself first in the wake-up of
the eye, as most closely connected
with the brain. 1t next spreads its
impulse over the face, moving some
muscle of mouth or check or brow,
and, if not spent, according to it's
force, sweeps outward to arm and
hand, and perhaps FINALLY presses
the body into action. Gesture is any
movement of muscle which follows
or expresses emotion. Is is con tinued
face gesture, frequently useless, from
year to year, which brings wrinkled
age. One should recognize that there
is all the difference in the world be-
tween the impulse of genuine emo
ton and feeling with the natural
gestures and play of face and feature,
and those multitudidous and in
cessaDt facial gymnastics with which
conversation is frequently absurdly
enlivened and embellished. The
same may be said of the extreme use
of the arm and hand, slashing,
pounding, and pointing when no
such force is needed: it rarely is in the
gentle flow of social life. 1t is, how
ever, much a matter of temperament
and climate. One finds those of
Southern cline and warm blood, or
OF light, volatile nature, as the
French, depending upon action to
help the words; but be it remembered
that it is in effect still the ssme--a
waste of force and energy. The
woman who continually stretches her
eyes, twists, screws, and contracts
her lips in mounting her words and
sentences, however charming, is form.
ing habits of muscle use which will
surely trace premature and indeiole
lines

Evangelizing Equatorial Africa.

LONDON, December 3l,--The Bap-

fresh fields of work which are open
ing in africa, has commenced an
effort to raise special fund of e200,-
600. 1t is also proposed to increase
the present missionary staff by the
appointment of 100 new agents. DIR.
Tucker, the evangelical Bishop, who
has succeeded to the dangerous do
cese of Equatorial Africa rendered
vacant by the murder of the heroic
Bishop Huntington, has arrived at
Uganda, after terrible and prolonged
sufferings, about which, however,
Mr.. Stanley will be surprised to learn.
The worthy missionary prelate does
not intend to write two volume ro-
nance. A hundred miles of the long
journey were through dense food

bers, who murdered sTragglers and
stole loads at every opportunity.

The Wild West Show.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-Nate Salisbury,
Buffalo Bill's partner, passed through
London this week, on his way to
Strasb ourg to make arrangements for
the opening of the Wild West show
there next May. 1t will be remem-
bered that when the show was in
Paris, in the summer of the EXPOSE
ton year, it was backed by sym
dictate of Americans, and that charges
were made in the New York news
papers that reflected upon the hon.
esty of the management. These
charges Salsb bury and Cody refused
to explain at the time. only saying
that the president of the syndicate
had access to their books and 10 the
box office at all times ; so that he was
able to judge whether or not the syn
dictate was being swindled. Your re-
poater asked Salisbury about the mat
ter this week.
"The affair was settled,n he re.
piled, "to the satisfaction of the en-
tire syndicate by my paying them
$780, 900 out of my own pocket, which
I was not legally obliged to do. The
president of the syndicate, however,
made $50, 900 while the syndicate was
losing.n
