Look At His Eye.

The eve always indicates the charac-
ter OF the man. This is particularly
true ofthieves, for the expert detective
can tell in almost every case whether
or not a man is a thief by simply look
ing him squarely in the eyes. \ well
known detective, in speaking OF this
matter the other day, said:
Yes. sir, lean pick "A thief out eve ry
time. can't tell you what IL Is that

they are obliged to do so. They Will

ment. never saw thief who was
free from il.
Everybody has met that man who
resolutely refuses TO meet steady
gaze for more than three or four sec
onds at time. Ii is not fair 10 say
that such persons are dishonest. In
many cases this pecnliarity Is direct
result of bashfulness. A little close
observation will enable the observer
to put persons in the class In which
they belong. The man whose eye Is
almond shaped is almost always dis
honest at heart, if not in overt act
The eyes Of some Of the most notori-
Gus thieves in the country are OF this
pattern, and the expression given the
face by this sort OF eye is very strik

Another characteristic thiefs eye Is
the one whose lower lid is straight.
while the upper one is more or less
arched. The straight lower lid is al
ways noticeable, however, the effect
being very cunning and fol-like tx

When Forks Came In.

1t was about the year 1900, and In
the reign OF James l., when forks were
first introduced into England. This
piece OF refinement" we are told,
was derived from the Italians. In IA
curious book of travels, published in
the year 1911, the writer says
Il observed custom in all those
Italian cities and towns through
which passed that is not used in any
other country that | saw in my trav-
els Neither do | think that any 9th
er nation in Christendom doth use II,
but only Italy. The Italians, and al
so most strangers that are commorant
in Italy, do alwaies at their meales
use "A little forke when they cut their
meate. For while with their knife,
which they hold In one hand, they
cut the meate out OF the dish, they
fasten their forke, which they hold in
the other hand, upon the same dish.
This forIne OF feeding is generally In
use in all Italy, thier forkes being for
the most part made Of yron, or steel,
and some Of silver, but those are only
used by gentlemen. Before the rev
olution in France it was customary,
when a gentleman had been invited
out TO dinner, to send his servant in
advance with his knife, fork and spoon.
II he had no servant he carried them
with him in his pocket. Some OF the
peasantry in certain parts OF Germany
and Switzerland to-day carry a case In
their pockets containing knife, fork
and spoon.

The old story Of Bruce and the spi-
der is well known, but little has been
said OF the untiring perseverance OF
Others OF the lower animals. \ curl
Gus incident. having valuable lesson
for impatient humanity, was offered
by a party of ducklings on the sea
shore. They were very young, but
they had mind for swim, and made
no doubt OF being able TO accomplish
il on so large and tempting body Of
water as the Atlantic Ocean.
1t WAS Il lovely day, and the tide
was coming in with hardly ripple.
Every few minutes u wavelet not
more than All inch or two high swept
gently up the beach. then drew back
into the bosom OF the ocean after the
manner OF sea waves
With all the dignity OF the duck
family this little party waddled down
the beach. They were in no haste,
the day was before them, the sun was
warm. they were fed, and down they
went in most leisurely way. Just
as they reached the water the gentle
wave ran in. lifted the pretty yellow
birdlings of their feet, and swept
them all far up on the sand, then ~
suddenly turned, left them there high
aud dry. and went out TO sea again.
The ducklings, not at all disconcert-
ed by this shabby joke OF the wavelet,
gathered themselves together, and
started down the beach In good order
as before Again the saucy wavelet
came TO meet them, and again they
were carefully set down far up on the
shore.
Discouraged, you think, and walked
of In huns BY no means. They
wanted To go into the water, and into
the water they would go Again, they
started down the bank, just as digHi-
fled, just as composed. just ~ earnest
about IL as IL they had found no DIM
culties in the way or course they
met the same fate. but they did not
give il up.
Whether they ever really got into
the sea does not appear, but as long
a the observer had the patienc" To
watch the same game was In progress
the little wave carried them all far
up on the beach, and they all wad
died back again, with the sole and
single purpose OF going To TAX" n
