The dress coat OF the s'Sellner' is
shortly to disappear from the leading
Swiss hotels, so that it win no longer
be possible 70 confound the waiter with
guests. At a recent meeting of the
union of hotel keepers the question was
solemnly debated whether IL was not
practicable TO clothe the waiter in a
more rational dress than the hitherto
obligatory swallow-tail. The precd-
dent for such resolution has already
been set in Germany. A few months
ago the Deutche Gastwirths Yerband
offered a prize for the best example of
a convenient dress for the winter. The
design accepted was tailless jacket
(ioppe) of dark blue cloth after the
fashion of the stewards uniform on
board ships. This has met with wide
approval in the profession and il is al
ready adopted by the kellner in many
of the large German towns.

Human Character Revealed by Its shane,

Descending to the analysis OF sim

look critically at the writing in the
forehead, writes John Lambert Payne
in Ladies' Home journal. II is not
always an easy thing to measure BY
the eye the actual width or height of
this portion of the head, because or
the volume Of hair which often en-
croaches towards the eyes, but IL is
fairly safe 10 conclude that the size
OF forehead has direct relation to
brain capacity. This is subject only
to qualifications as to intensity and
activity, which need not now be CON
sidered.
For all purposes within the range
OF this sketch 1t may be said that a
high and broad forehead denotes In
tellectuality, with an acute nervous
temperament, although only too often
lack OF balance. A slightly sloping
forehead indicates availability Of
talent. and whom the slope is caused
by high perceptiVes lying over the

powers OF keen observation. II the
slope is found without this fullness

the evidence OF weak reasoning

indicates Astounding generosity and

Sharpening Knives.

The itinerant knife-sharpener is not
a good man TO trust with a finely tenn
pered or really good knife. His father
used 10 carry round good supply of
water, and with this he kept his wheel
wet, so that it could not possibly heat
or destroy the temper of the knife.
That this is necessary can be testified
to by anyone who has tried to sharpen
knife on stone without either water
or oil to moisten il, and the farmer
would never dream of rubbing his
seythe with dry milestone. But the
modern itinerant knife-sharpener does
not use water at all He sharpens the
knife on the dry stone, and by means of
a little rubbing he gets feather edge
which has every appearance of sharp
ness, but which breaks off the first
time the knife is used, leaving rag
ged edge much worse than before the
muddler took hold of il. To sharpen a
knife properly it is necessary to keep
the stone wet all the time, and any ar
guments TO the contrary are the result
of a desire to save trouble and time

According 70 writer in Power, en-
gineers should apply to the steam en-
CINE indicator at least once week, and
some rig for reducing the motion of
the piston should be available which
will admit Of easy attachment with
out stopping the engine. A unique ar
rangement of this kind has been intro
duced, which consists of light brass
wheel which has two diameters, the
large diamater being of such dimen-
sions that the circumference will be
one-half the stroke of the engine, and
the smaller having circumference
one-half the length of the diagram. A
cord wound two or three times around
the large wheel is attached to the cross
head, and cord from the wheel of
smaller diameter leads TO the barrel of
the indicator when in operation, or is
hooked to an idler cord which passes
over leading pully 10 weight, while
the indicator Is arrest. A clock spring
attached to the side of the wheel caus-
es the return motion after the cord has
been drawn out by the moving cross
head. This rig, as a permanent at
tachment to the front head of an en-
CINE, has proved satisfactory.
