CRIMINALS EYES.
They Betray the Nature OF Their Pos-
SCISSOR Frequently.

They Betray the Nature Of Their Pos
SCISSOR Frequently.
Eyes are the most certain revealers OF
the criminal nature, says Donohoes
Magazine. Many an expert detective
tells criminal by just one glance-not
at him, but from him. The criminal eye
varies greatly in setting, but not so much
in color. Sometimes it is deeply placed
in the head, as if it tried to hide, fearing
the result of its own involuntary revela-
tions. Sometimes 1t is bulgy, protrusive
like frogs and heavy lidded. Such
eyes, taken in connection with some
other signs, denote treachery, lechery,
loquacity, mendacity and general cruel
ty, with just enough cowardice to pre-.
vent the criminal from doing murder,
except insidiously or through others.
OF the criminal eye there are many re-
markable anecdotes. The murderer
Francesconi had little about him to in
dictate the fcrocity that ambushed in his
breast. His forehead was high and
smooth, his beard was plentiful. To
most people he rendered himself rather
companionable by a certain cheap face
tiousness that often masquerades as wit,
and on account of this social quality
Francesconi's conceit was tolerated, and
his huge egotism did not have its full
chance to repel people. But years be-
fore his crime young girl-afterwards
the Countess della Rocca-who had
never loft home and who lacked expert
ence of life, recoiled from him violently
when introduced, and refused to endure
his presence. When questioned why
she behaved thus towards one who stood
so high socially she answered: eff
that man has not already murdered
people he will do So" This girllsh
prophecy very soon came true, and when
Lombroso inquired by what sign she
had forctold, she replied 1.-The eyes-I
saw him in his eyes"
The eye of the criminal is frightful
thing, frequently mesmcric in its effects,
and planting itself in the memory like
the glance of snake from poisonous
tropic jungle. Once beheld it can rarely
be forgotten, except by some special
mercy that dips us deep in Lethe. No
one would wish to remember that kind
of eye or look, but my father once gained
a case by his sudden recollection of it.
A witness very damaging to his client
had testified that on certain
day two years before he was
present at certain interview. The
keenest cross examination failed to shake
him, and as my fathers face took on a
vexed expression, triumphant smile Of
conceited cunning stole out of the beady
black eyes of the witness. Where had
my father seen that peculiar look before?
Suddenly it flashed across him. "Were
you ever in Charlestown Jail?" he asked
impulsively. The witness began to STAN
mer out a denial. "Were you not in
Charlestown Jail2" Numbered the law
yer, ION the very day you have sworn
you were present elsewhere9" The wit
ness wilted. 1t was true, and the man
had been committing perjury.

killed skirt, and he couldn't sp eak all
his words quite plainly, but he knew
better than to run away, because he
whispered to Dick so mamma couldn't
hear.
Dick was great black Newfoundland
dog. He was a year younger than
Teddy, but he was enough bigger to
make up for that. He looked up at
Teddy as if he understood, and followed
around to the back gate.
Don't go far, DEAR" called mamma
after them.
Surely Dick understood that. He
stopped waving his plumv tail.
"No--o, marm," said Teddy. But he
put his hands on the gate. Do you sup

Teddy tried coaxing, but Dickwouldn't
be coaxed. Then he got maple switch,
but Dick wouldn't be driven.
Then Teddy tried to climb over the
pickets; but Dick caught hold of his
killed skirt with his teeth, and held him
back.
So, at last, Teddy made up his mind
that he didn't really want to 60 to Aunt
Nelly's house.
But he couldn't help telling mamma
all about it. 1t was so funny.
Mamma smiled, and patted Dicks
great, black head.
''Then it was my dog who minded, and
not my little boy" she said.
"But l am soing to all the rest Of the

Sin Eating.

A singular custom was wont
to prevail at Gainsborough, of dis
tributing penny loaves on the occasion
of funeral to whosoever might demand
them. Prior to the Reformation, It was
q common practice for our ancestors tc
direct in their wills that doles of bread
and other aims should be given the poo,
at their funerals; by this they performed
double act-relieving the corporal
wants of the poor, and securing their
prayers for the repose of their own souls.
In some parts of Yorkshire and else
where it is still customary to send to
friends Immediately after death paper
bag of biscuits, and card with tho
name, ETC., of the deceased; this would
not appear to be connected with a dole
to purchase prayers, and may possibly
find an origin in, and be the last remains
OF, the ancient ceremonial of the pagan
burial feasts. At Amersden in Oxford
shire it was the custom at the burial of
every corpse for cake and flagon of
ale to be given to the minister in the
church porch Immediately after the
funeral.
The curious and repulsive practice of
oAu OotAuS 10 INV OUSOlctO. AUBREY, IN
Remains of Gentilisme and Judiasme"
thus refers to it:
sin the county of Hereford was an old
custome at funerals to have poor people
who were to take upon them the shines
of the party deceased. The manner was
that when the corps was brought out of
the house and layd on the biere, loafe
of bread was brought out, and delivered
TO the SHINE eater over the corps, so also
a mazer-bowle of maple full of beer, web
he was to drinke up, and six pence in
money, in consideration whereof he took
upon him all the shines of the defunct,
and freed him (or herr from walking
after they were dead"
The origin of this strange custom was
most likely connected in some way with
the ceremony of the scapegoat under the
old law (Leviticus 16: Westmin

A ROYAL DINNER.

1t is not served in the grand hall, with
troops of soft-footed, deft handed wait
ers to attend upon the guests. But the
names of the dishes are as long, and as
difficult to pronounce, as if printed in
Russian; and the viands taste as good
as if cooked by the most famous Chef
who ever served king.
In fact, it is kings dinner to which
We invite you to sit down, though his
majesty's royal robe is very scant at both
ends, aud his crown is tall silk hat,
that has once been worn by United
States Senator from the far West. But
such small matters are of no account just
now; we are hungry for our dinners!
But first it must be cooked, and the
cook is no other than our host, the Ia.
hitian King of power and dignity.
His first move 10 to dig a shallow hole
in the ground. This he fills with hard
and very dry wood, cut or broken into
small pieces. Over this he places two
dozen or so of round stones about the
size of tennis balls. Then he lights the
wood and makes bright fire. While it
is burning he has taken small pieces of
beef, fowls, ripe and unripe bananas and
the tops Of wild plant, which some
what resemble asparagus, and made them
up into many separate little packages
wrapped in banana leaves.
In about ten minutes the wood has
burned out, the stones are hot, and the
little packages are all ready to be laid
between two layers of the hot stones,
which are then quickly covered with
fresh earth so tightly that no steam can
escape.
For about fifteen minutes more we sit
around the little mound thus made, in
silent and attentive gravity. 1t would
not be good manners to pay attention to
anything else while the important process
Of cooking is going on.
Our royal cook knows Just how long to
wait. Then he grsvely removes the
earth and stones, so carefully that the
cooked food 10 not injured. Each little
package is placed upon . fresh banana

THE SHIP OF THE DESERT,

A camel has twice the carrying power
of an OK. With an ordinary load of 400
pounds he can travel twelve or fourteen
days without water, going forty miles a
day. They arc fit to work at five years
old, but their strength begins to decline
at twenty-five, although they usually
live to forty. They are often fattened

of these animals, often 1000 belonging
to one family. They were numerous in
antiquity, for the patriarch Job had
5000. The Timbuctoo or Meharri

only for couriers, going 800 miles in
eight days, with meal Of dates or grain

After search of nearly thirty years
during which time advertisements were

in 1868, on the last day of the fight at
Chickamauga, and from that time until a
short time ago their whereabouts were
unknown. The flags have been disoov-

IEvAL MURDER.
The Prime Minister of . Native Indiau
State 6lain.t

The Primo Minister Of . Native Indian
State Blain.t
The story Of the murder of the prime
minister of the native state Of Ulwar, In
northwestern India, reads moro like . tale
from the criminal annals of some medieval
Italian principally than . record Of tho
present day, says tho London Daily News.
The minister was murdered while out rid
ing by a mi of assassins. The inquiry
ordered BY the Indian government has re-
suited NOS only in the conviction Of one Of
the principal military officers OF the Ulwar
state, but in q deolar alton by the court that
the murder was executed BY order OF the
late maharsjah of Ulwar.
1t appears that this parsonage. desiring
for sundry reasons to have tho minister
removed" confded the task to the officer
commanding tho imperial service troops
that is. the troops which tho Ulwar state
undertakes to send into the field should tho
Indian government cali for its services.
The worthy got together a gang of men.
including some OF his own soldiers. way
lard the minister, and while some OF the
party patrolled the road others--as ono of
them who turned queens evidence ex-
pressed it--"used their swords."
They pleaded in defense TINT they were
obliged to carry out the orders of the ma
harajah in committing the act. The court
held that such orders had boen given, but
decided that they constituted NO defense,
and sentenced two of the party to death
and others to various terms of penal servi-
tude. Adequately to appreciate this affair.
IL should be remembered that Ulwar il nc
wild hill state OH the outer confines OF In
dia, but an ancient principally in the heart
Of the country. within q short distance of
Delhi. The late maharaiah had received
I'm English education. and Ulwar is in many
respects accounted al e~xoellently adminis-
tered state.
