Eugene sna,. Vanity.

Notwithstanding the extraordinary
literary success which he enjoyed when
his works were the vogue, Eugene Sue
posed much more as a man of fashion
than n man of letters. After his dinner
at the Cafe de Paris he would gravely
stand ON the steps smoking his cigar and
listening to the conversation with an air
Of superiority without Attempting ts
take part in it. His mind was supposed
to be far away, devising schemes for the
social and moral improvement 6f his
fellow creatures. These philanthropic
musings did not prevent him from pay.
ing great deal OF attention--too much
perhaps--to his personal appearance, foi
even in those days of beaus, bucks and
dandies, OF Counts d'Orsay and others
men could hot help thinking Eugene
Sue overdressed.
: He rarely appeared without spurs tc
his boots, and he would no more have
done without a new pair Of whi&e kid
gloves every evening than without his
dinner. Other men. like Nestor de
Roqueplan. Alfred de Musset and Major
Fraser, did not mind having their gloves
cleaned, though the process was not 80
perfect asst is now. Eugene Sue averred
that the smell Of cleaned gloves made
him i'll. The unhappy man finally fell
into poverty, was quietly cashiered from
his fashionable clubs and died in OBJ
scurity.-C Chicago Post.

Jewish Vacations.

OF the Jewish vacations there are,
first, the Sabbatical institutions of the
Old Testament, viz, the weekly Sab
bath, the seventh new moon or Feast of
trumpets, the Sabbatical year and the
year of jubilee. Besides these there
were the great feasts, Passover, Pente-
cost and Tabernacles, together with the
two of later times-Purim and that of
the Dedication. The time spent in these
observances required frequent and in
some cases protracted suspension Of La
Dor.
To the Jews living in the remote dis
tricts of Palestine, particularly the pill
grimages to and from Jerusalem, to-
gether with the time spent In the actual
celebration of the feasts, which in the
case of the Passover and Tabernacles
was each eight days, meant an amount
of migratory recreation and rest from
the ordinary occupations of life year by
year greater proportionately than that
obtained in the vacation of these days.

HOW 10 fset : Postomoe.

There are great many interesting
facts and figures connected with post
offices and their masters. For instance,
when countryman is tired Of walking
or driving several miles for his mail and
concludes that the government should
bring it nearer, he should state that fact
to the first assistant postmaster general,
whose clerks will furnish him with In.
structions and blank petition for the
neighbors to sign. If he wants the new
Office bad enough to make the govern
ment think it necessity, he viii doubt

At the same time he will be told that
in naming it prefixes such as "east."
"center" and the like, the sufixes
"boro," "burgh." "city," ETC.. are equal.

The eye always indicates the charac-

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

this little dodging movement. | never
saw thief who was free from it.
Everybody has met that man who
resolutely refuses to meet steady gaze
for more than three or four seconds ut
time. 1t is not fair to say that all such
persons are dishonest. In many cases
this popularity is direct result of bash,
fulness. A little close observation will
enable the observer to put persons in
the class to which they belong. The
man whose eye is almond shaped is al
most always dishonest at heart, il not
in overt act. The eyes Of some of the
most notorious thieves in the country
are of this pattern, and the expression
given the face by this sort Of eye is very
striking. ."-Pittsburg Press.

NE FOUND FATHERS BODY.
Though He Had Laid In . Nameiess
Grave for Many Years.

Grave for Many Years.
"Now this is true story said a
gentleman whose Office is door or two
off upper Broadway. ..and the question
is, was it fate, psychic attraction, an
you the incident.
When the war broke out my brother
and classmate Of his, to whom he was
much attached, both enlisted at the
same time and departed for the south,
leaving behind In the little town in
western New York their young wives,
to whom they had been married but a
short time, My brothers chum, whom
we may call Ned Brown for conven-
fence, had, think. been husband but
six weeks when he left for the front.
Brother Jack was soon after transferred
to the adiutant generals department, so
saw little Of active service, and Ned
was in the division of the army which
remained in the vicinity Of Washington
fer about year. Then came the Battle
OF the Wilderness and with it the
startling Intelligence to Jack that Ned
had been mortally wounded and had
sent for him. He made all haste to the
side of his friend. who soon after his
arrival died in his arms.
"As was usual after great battles, the
dead We're buried, many together, in
large trenches, and my brother was
much troubled over the probability Of
there being no means of locating or
identifying the body, when, as he felt
sure. the family would wish to send for
it. There had been q little son born to
the young soldier in that far away viii
lage by the lake, and he felt that the
child. who had never looked upon his
fathers face, would one day want to
know at least where his body lay.
1.-The men in charge assured Jack that
the body should be placed at the head Of
the trench, and If any mark could be
left upon it it would be easily found.
For some time my brother wondered
what he could do. Then an idea struck
him. He found bottle, and placing in
side of it paper upon which was
written the name and regiment of his
friend, he tied it about the neck OF the
corpse.
''Some time afterward when friends
VI tiC 0ctstt oOAttACk C0tAAO hOA thlC
other trenches had been dug near the
first, and it was impossible to identify
the spot, though the grief stricken
widow could scarcely be prevailed upon
to give up the search.
"Well, Just the other day a young
commercial drummer from a Rochester
house found himself in the quiet town
of Petersburg, Va, and to pass away a
dull Sunday went out to the soldiers
burying ground. After he had wan
dered around for q time among the
green mounds he suddenly saw painted
upon Q wooden slab name that made
his heart leap.
''It was his fathers name. And this
was Jacks boy, the boy the brave young
soldier had so longed to see. Years ago,
when the bodies were removed from the
old trenches and reburied, the bottle
with its bit of paper had been the means
of identifying one at least.
'.That night there flashed over the
wires this message to the soldiers wi
dow, Il shall bring home fathers body
with me next week. New York
