LOOK AT HIS EYE.
n Man BE Dishonest You Can See 1t Mt
Glance.

The eye always indicates the charac-
ter of the man. This is particularly
true of thieves, for the expert detective
can tell in almost every case whether
or not man is Il thief by simply look
ing him squarely in the eyes. A we'll
known detective, in speaking of this
matter the other day, said'
'Yes, sir, can pick a thief out every
time. | can't tell You what it is that
gives the man away except that it is
the expression of the eye. In the first
place there are few thieves that will
look you squarely in the eye unless
they are obliged to do So They will
avoid your glance as long as they
can, and even when they do face
you and gaze steadily at you it
is always with the same eX-
preston. Although their eyes may be
wide open, and the gaze apparently
steady, you viii see, if you look closely,
that that there is something away back
through the corfea trying to avoid you.
! have picked out numbers of thieves
by this little dodging movement. |
never saw thief who was free from it.
Everybody has met that man who
resolutely refuses to meet a steady gaze
for more than three or four seconds at II
time. 1t is not fair to say that all such
persons are dishonest. In many cases
this popularity is direct result of
bashfulness. A little close observa-
tion 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 no
torious thieves in the country are of
this pattern, and the expression given
the face by this sort of eye is very strik-
ing"
Another characteristic thief's eye is
the one whose lower lid Is straight
while the upper one is more or less
arched. The straight lower lid is
always noticeable, however, the effect
being a very cunning and fox-like ex'
preston. Detectives usually have very
noticeable eyes, keen and clear, although
one Of the best thief-tal1ers that the
writer has ever known has big brown
eyes, as innocent in their expression as
are those of a frank and honest school
boy. This is his natural expression, but
when he becomes interested in anything
his lids close and his gaze is as penetrat
ing as that of an eagle.-Pittsburgl

Oatmeal for the Complexion.

Oatmeal, inside and out, is one of the
best means for securing a good COM
plexion. For one who desires to make
the skin more white and fair, there is
nothing better than to apply poultice
of oatmeal lnush, and as a food for
making good pure blood, oatmeal can
not be too highly recommended. Let

touch griddle cakes and sirup, but eat
plenty of fresh fruit and preparations

THE SAALE'S COLLISION.
No Panic Among the Passengers
The Bark's Crew Saved.

LONDON. Aug. II. 1S92.--An interview
was had today with one of the passengers
OF the North German Lloyd steamer
Saale, Captain Richter, which on the
evening of August ran into and sank
tie Norwegian bark Tordenskjo jold, Cap
tain Eilertsen, from Dublin, July 8, for
New York.
The Saale at the time CT the accident
was Two days out from New York, bound
for Bremen.
The gentleman interviewed said that
the steamer had splendid weather and a
smooth sea during the entire voyage. IL
was somewhat haZy on the evening OF
August 4, and with only few minutes
warning the Saale ran into dense fog

slowed and she was run at a speed OF
seven knots.
While the passengers were at dinner
they were startled by the steamers paus-
ing and reeliDg slightly. and then was
heard the crashing of timberS. The shock
was not severe oge. In fact it was so
slight that nothing was upset on the
tables.
Many OF the passengers hastened to the
deck; but there was no extraordinary ex-
element. Capt Richter was on the
bridge. It was found that the steamer

clambered over the bow of the Saale, and
some of them escaped without even get

During the whole affair perfect order
prevailed on board the Saale. The pass
engers on the steamer collect ed the sum
of ESQ, which was presented to the crew
of the Tordenskjo d, which vessel went
TO the bottom shortly after she was
struck.
From conversation with others on
board the steamer it is evident that when
the commander of the Saale saw that a
collision was Inevitable, the bark being
headed directly for the steamer and too
close aboard for the Saale to get out of
her way, he. changed his course and
steamed head on TO the bark. cutting
her in TWO. Had he not done this the
bark would have struck the Saale on her

IS IT THE CHOLERA /?
People in a New Jersey Village
Think the Asiatic scourge
Is There.

HELMETTA, Aug. II, 1s92.-Thls thriving
manufacturing village is all worked up
over the presence here of violent form
of cholera, which has the symptoms of
the much dreaded Asiatic cholera
Over one hundred and fifty persons
have been attacked, and so far seventeen
have died, ten of which were adults and
the remainder children.
That there is an epidemic prevailing is
the combined opinion of half dozen
physicians of the neighboring villages,
whose labors have been taxed to the ut
most in caring for the stricken ones, and
unless some stringent sanitary measures
are adopted it is very probable it will ex-
tend to other places.
Already the epidemic has travelled to
Spotswood, two miles east of here, and it
has appeared in several families there.
Jamesburg has also been visited by the
epidemic, and several deaths of persons
employed here have resulted.
The population of this village is about
four hundred and tits made up almost en-
tirely or foreigners, mainly Poles and
Hungarians.
They are employed in the G. w. Helme
snuff factory, which concern practically
owns the entire village.

TWO NICE YOUNG MEN.
They Made Friends With Mr.. Young
of England and Then Did
Him Up.

Abraham j. Young, thirty-nine years
old, an Englishman. landed in New York
from Pendelberry. Manchester. England,
few days ago. Last night he went
down Broadway and checked his bag
gage in one of the numerous express
offices, which one he could not remem Der.
to Scranton Pa. On coming out of the
office he was met by two affable young
men who shook him by the haad, called
MIN by name, and said they were glad to
see him, and that they were going to the
same place he was.
He Immediately struck up an aequaint-
ance with the men, and together they
to Hoboken and started towards the Hill.
At the foot of the Hill. near the West
Shore Railroad bridge which crosses
Ferry street. he was struck from behind
with some blunt instrument and knocked
down. He WIS stunned for several
minutes. When he came to, his pocket-
book containing S216 and bis railroad
ticket to Scrsnton, Pennsylvania. were
gone, Officer Delaney found him little
while after wandering around in a be-
Wlldered sort OF way covered with
blood. He took him to the police station,
where DR.. Kirk dressed his wound
He says one of the men was tall and
thin, with heavy black mustache. The
other short, with smooth face He
thinks he could identify either of them if
he saw them again.
From the description given of the route
he came by, the police are of the opinion
that he came by way of Jersey City.
They kept him over night, and this
morning gave him his breakfast, and re-
ferred him to the Jersey City authori-
ties. Ferry street in that vicinity is very
lively about the time Young alleges he
was robbed, S P. NJ. Milkmen, and all
sorts of wagons are continually passing,
and the police think it strange that rob-
berry occurred in that neighborhood with
out any one seeing it.
