An Unfailing Index.

Students of character can learn much
from the way in which a man carries
his hands. See the youth with swing
ing arms and palms that are displayed
to all who take the trouble to look. He
is one of that class whose heart is as
open as his hands. He is frank, un-
suspicious, free spender, and be-
lever in the honesty of his fellows.
Notice the business man, more ad-
vanced in years. His hands are al
ways closed so tightly that one would
suppose he is ever expecting an attack.
This is the attitude Of men bent upon
a certain object. 1t is an attitude
which displays the qualities of deter
mination and fight.
In debate you will observe some OF
our lawmakers emphasize statement
by hammering the kesk before them
with their knuckles, while others, ap-
parently equally impassioned. are sat
isfied with the use of the palm. You
may rest assured that if sheer deter
mined will succeed the man who applies
his bnuckles will win before his COL
league who uses his palm.
The way in which the thumb Is held
is also true sign of character. The
man who turns it in under his fingers Is
always weak That is the position in
which it is invariably held by child.
The thumbs of great men are large and
point out conspicuously from their fell
low members. Both Wellington and
NAPOLEON, not to so any further, had
this distinctive popularity.
St. Landry democrat., 1893-06-10
What to Do with Lamps
Keep them clean.

Keep them clean.
Fill the lamps each morning.
Look especially after the burner.
Do not try to burn old, gummy, dirty
oil.
Lamps having metal bowls are best
and safest.
Have good wick and keep it proper
ly trimmed.
Do not fill lamp when burning-it is
dangerous.
Use the best oil to be had-it is cheap
est, the cleanest, the safest.
In case of accident keep cool and at
tend to business right away.
Have closet for the lamps and
their belongings and keep them there.
Trim off that portion of the wick
which has been burned off-no more.
In getting new burners see that there
is a perfect fit; also in regard to the
wicks.
Do not live from hand to mouth"
have good supply of everything not Of
a perishable nature.
Handle the lamp carefully when
aflame; it is an invaluable friend, yet
contains elements Of disaster.
Never turn down the lamp SO low that
the combustion is imperfect; it poisons
the air beyond endurance.
If lamp tips over and is not broken
right it Immediately; If broken, pick up
the part containing the wick and blow
it out or toss it out of the window.

The present power looms

pendcntly. The present power looms
run 40 to 1870 picks per minute, but
this contrivance easily picks $50 to 300 q
minute. Altogether it is very wonderful,
but no details of its construction or data
of practical tests of it workings have
yet been made public.
LONDON, according to report, is a
pretty bad place. More than one third
of all the crime of the country is said to
be committed within its limit, $4,000 OF
its inhabitants are annually arrested as
drunk and disorderly, and it has on the
average $1,000 people annually taken
into custody by the police. It's common
lodging houses shelter about 7,OGO
persons.
In connection with the recent bill
before Congress providing for automatic
couplcrs for freight cars it is interesting
to note that over 5000 patents for such
devices have been granted and that a
large number of applications are on file
in the Patent Office awaiting the de-
cision of the examiner.

He Would Not Leave.

It is the custom in the British Army
that whenever regiment is transferred
from one colony to another, prisoners
who may be in the Jail are handed over
to the outgoing corps and continue their
sentences at the new station. In one case
one Of these Jail birds made up his mind
that he would not leave the colony.
Private johnson was one of the smartest
men in the corps, and furthermore he
was an excellent groom and almost a
"cordon bleu" He had one sad failing.
He was thief. His populations had,
however, been generally small, and he
escaped serious punishment. One night
a large store in the town was broken into
and considerable amount of money
stolen. 1t was conclusiyely proved that
johnson was the thief and he was sent to
Jail. When the regiment was leaving
The colony johnson, with some other
soldier prisoners. was to be handed over
according to custom When, however,
his cell was visited it was empty and
there was not sign of johnson any
where. A search was made in every
l;rection, and Mt last prisoner pointed
cocoanut tree which grew in the
middle of the prison yard. and there,
comfortably seated among the tuft OF
leaves. was johnson. The warden at
first tried to get the man down by quiet
persuasion, then he threatened, then
stormed and swore. johnson laughed
contentedly at every mood, but did not
move. The fact was reported to the
Colonial Secretary, who recommended
that the fire-engine be called out and the
man washed down. The chief OF the
fire department hardly thought it was
St. Landry democrat., 1893-06-10

consonant with his dignity to wash a
prisoner out of cQcoanut tree, and re-
ported that there was not pressure of
water enough to get stream to the top
of the tree. This was probably true, for
the tree was tall one.
The case was again referred to the
Colonial Secretary, who took it before
the Governor. His Excellency was hav-
ing luncheon with some of the departing
officers and their friends and was having
good ..nle. He was vexed that at such
time he should be troubled with official
work, as hastily glancing over the docu-
ment he added the following instruc-
tons: "Cut the fellow down. mean
the tree"
This could only be done by the engineer.
ing department, so orderlies were sent
out to find the chief engineer While all
this was going on, time was slipping
away. Almost all the troops were on
board the troopship, and as these vessels
wait for no one, the escort which had
been sent to bring johnson down to the
ship had to hurry off not to be late itself.
johnson beloved farewell, and despite
the strong language of the warden still
laughed and did not move. Before the
engineer department had come to con-
clusion as to how to cut down the tree
and lower it gradually, the troopship
had up anchor and was steaming out of
the harbor. Then johnson climbed down
the tree and finished his sentence on the
island, to which he had taken fancy.
His conviction had carried with it his
discharge with ignominy." He settled
in the island aud was soon in easy cir
cumstances. He had undoubtedly hid
den his stolen property, and after his
release dug it up and started in business.
