To the attentive eye none of the ordi-
nary gestures or movements betrays pc
culiarities of individual character more
plainly than the gait--the sailors roll
ing, the soldiers stiff, the countryman's
jolting gait are Immediately recognized.
Slow steps, whether long or short, sug-
gest gentle or reflective state of mind,
as the case may be, while, on the con-
trary, quick steps seem to speak of agi-
tation and energy. Reflection is revealed
in frequent pauses and walking to and
fro, backward and forward. The direc.
ton of the steps, wayering and follow
ing every changing impulse of the mind,
inevitably betrays uncertainty, hesita-
ton and indecision.
The proud step is slow and measured
the toes are conspicuously turned out,
the leg is Strengthened. In vanity the
toes are rather more gracefully turned
the strides little shorter, and there is
very often an affectation of modesty.
Tiptoe walking symbolizes surprise
curiosity, discretion or mystery. Pal

The spinet instrument was animproye-
ment upon what was known as the clavi
chord, the tone of which, although weak
was capable, unlike that Of the harpsi-
chord or spinet, Of increase or decrease,
rejecting the finest gradations Of the
touch Of the player. In this power Of
expression it was without a rival until
the piano was invented. The early his
tory Of the clavichord previous to the
Fifteenth century rests in profound OBJ
scurity, but it is said that there is one
bearing the date 1920 having four oc-
taves without the D sharp and g sharp
notes. The spinet was the invention Of
the Venetian Spinetta.
The action is unique. The instrument
is similar to small harpsichord with
one string to each note. The stringsare
set in vibration by points Of quilts ele.
waited on wooden uprights known as
jacks, and the depression Of the keys
causes the points to pass upward, pro
ducing tone similar to that Of a harp
Springs are used to draw the quilts bach
into position. The keyboard is arranged
in manner after the present moderr
piano. Providence Journal.

An Eminent Politician.

How any one should ever desire 10 be-
come an eminent politician passes ones
comprehension 1t is amazing. He Is
everybody's slave. He is the slave Of
his party, he is the slave OF the wire
pullers, he is the slave Of the press, he is
the slave Of the great British public Let
him refuse obedience to any one Of his
owners, and before he can say Jack Rob
inson he is ont Of the running. smashed.
done for. We are told from the house
tops that the great Mr.. Blank is going
to make declaration Of his policy--his
policy, mind.
/ doubt If the great Mr.. Blank has
very much to do with the declaration
or the policy either. 1t is the party
which wants the policy; it is the wire
pullers who inform him that the mo-
ment is opportune for its declaration; 1t
is the press which has warned him Of the
direction in which the wind is blowing;
it is the great British public from which
he receives the doctrine, hot pressed, cut
and dried, which he is to preach. One
may venture to doubt il he ever had
policy which he could legitimately call
his own. He would scarcely be the
great Mr.. Blank if he had.
1t is the rank and file Of the party
who have policies, ideas, theories Of
their own. The great Mr.. Blanks are
like sponges. They are sodden with
moisture which they receive from every
side. 1t is rained on them from thou
sand waterspouts. This mixture Of all
the rains Of all the heavens, when
squeezed out by their several proprie-
tors, drop by drop, is called their policy.
Surely an eminent, a truly eminent,
politician is the most wonderful work Of
man. ALI the Year Round.

The Matter Of Car Fares.

Speaking Of embarrassment in the
matter of car fares when male friend
going the same way as yourself is en-
countered en- route to bridge or ferry,
woman says: Il really wish there was
an inviolate rule, as there is among Eng
lishmen. remember soon after my ar
rival in England happening to meet as
was boarding an omnibus an English
friend, to whose house | was bound at
the moment by appointment with his
wife. He was a reserved and distant
man, though scrupulously courteous,
and | wondered whether | ought or
ought not offer to pay my fare through
the three changes of transportation we
must make to reach our destination.
"All doubt, however, was quickly re-
moved by the cause himself, who leaned
over, after finding his own coin, with
the inquiry, Got your tuppence ready9
found over there that even when a
man was taking you about by invitation
car fares. ETC., were to be individually
looked after wish the matter were SO
absolutely fixed here"
1t would seem as If the question is
readily settled in doubtful case by
leaving it to the man. Part Of the mat
ter is disposed of absolutely. No man
in America would think of asking to es-
cort woman on trip about the city
without assuring all its expenses. In
the matter of a chance encounter there
can be no harm in making the effort to
pay ones fare, which, if the man pre-
fers to do, may be permitted without
protest. Point Of View in New

Oldest House II washington.

Down at the foot of Seventeenth street,

thick around its humble roof long before

puted over the location Of the future

similarity in the Names Of Peers.

Several peers have names nearly alike
There are Lord Amherst of Hackney.
and Earl Amherst. There are two peers
with only the difference Of letter in
the spelling Of their names-the Earl Of
Lindsay and the Earl of Lindsey, the
former being a Scotch representative
peer and the latter an English peer
There is only the difference Of letter
also in the names of Viscount Middleton
and Lord Middleton, but there is diff
ference in rank which makes the dis.
tinction easy.
There are several instances in which
the territorial title is necessary to distin-
guish peers, the more notable being Lord
Stanley Of ,Alderley and Lord Stanley oi
Preston, and Lord Howard de Waldel

In the midst of the old city of London,
where the heart of human life beats
fastest, stands the church Of st. Swith-
in's, an old edifice rebuilt by Wren upon
its ancient foundations, but recently re-
duced by modern taste to a most COM
monplace air of comfort and newness.
If the curious traveller will step out of
the passing throng and edge his way
through the hucksters of flowers and
stale fruit squatted around the church,
he will find imbedded in the blush slabs
of its foundation large oblong stone as
gray as the beard Of Time himself
This is London stone, erected by the
Romans half century before the birth
of the Saviour as the central milestone
Or point of their positions in Britain.
From it all roads, divisions Of property
and distances throughout the province
were measured.
1t has been recognized as the heart of
England, from which all its articles
flowed, "by every historian, dramatist
or antiquary known to English litera-
ture."
A feeling has always existed among
Englishmen about this stone which was
not altogether superstition, that, as all
distances were reckoned from it, so 1t
was in a certain way the base of the
stability of ENGLAND --Youth's Comnan.

A book title, like a woman's face.
ought to be pretty. And ii bewitch-
ing, diaphanous veil, in the shape of a
slight curiosity rousing cloudiness Of
meaning can be thrown over it, SO much
the better. Readers delight to be half
taken in by books, just as men do by
women, so long-and this is most I'M
portant proviso-so long as their vanity
is not piqued. The object of title
should be to seem simple, artless, naive
and quite naturally charming, but this
as in the case Of so many Of its feminine
analogues-is often TO be attained only
by the most consummate art.-Black.

The Value Of ] Russian Beard.

The Russians had an old law by which
any one who drew hair from another's
beard should be fined four times as much
as for cutting off a finger; and the i'm
portance and value of the appendage is
further illustrated by the fact that,
although the loss of leg was estimated
at u shillings, the loss of the beard was
estimated at 20, English Illustrated

The wedding in question was, in many
ways, the most brilliant event Of the
season. Nothing which could serve to
heighten the grace and significance Of
the affair had been spared. The church,
fittingly decorated by a Boston artist,
was filled with interested guests. The
faint strains Of Mendelssohn hoated
through the still air, and the beautiful
bride stood before the altar with her
chosen one.
Thepastor Of the church, ritual in hand
read the solemn service until he came tc
the critical moment, when he said
Repeat after me, 4, William, take
thee, Frances.
He did not proceed at once, for to every
ones astonishment, before the bride
groom could find his voice, the bride, il
clear, firm tones, repeated:
~. William, take thee, Frances
There was dead silence, till the sec
ond officiating clergyman, unable Longer
to control himself, laughed outright
This was the signal for contagious wave
Of merriment
As soon as the pastor could compose hi
features and resume his digni6ed voice

Repeat after me, I, William, taxi
thee, Frances.
