What the Gestures Mean.

Philadelphia Record
In southern Italy gesture largely takes
the place of speech. A writer for the
Christian Union goes so far as to say that
while not O word is spoken the rest will
know what Is going on, If the gesturer Is
only careful to express himself in the rec

the south Italy method of reckoning Is
used as a means of saiutatlon. There, when
desiring n person 10 approach. one Deckons

by closing all the fingers of the right hand
except the index and pointing downward,
makinga slight. rapid movement of the
hand up and down. Tomorrow" Is ex-
pressed by the same GESTURE, except that
the up and down motion is more pro-
nounced and done from the elbow instead
of from the wrist. as In the former case.
There is one sign. peculiar almost to the
verge of absurdity. that the tourist who
goes shopping will nevertheless do we'll to
remember and use. If he thinks he is be-

he does not think so very often-he cannot
do better than to put the two first fingers
of his right hand between his neck and his
shirt collar. and then ask. with an easy
laugh. what the prices really are.

of any kind.

three OF the kind of gentlemen who do
nothing but whittle ell day. and the writer.
The conversation turned on religion, and
then somebody asked where the Bible
came from and who wrote it. The old
stage driver was the only one who seemed
able to answer this question. and / give his
remarks just as he made them:
We'll o allus he'd an idea that Jesus
Christ writ Their Bible on them tables o
stone, er suthin' or Itber. But L he'd a
fellar aboard Their stage. tother night; he
