TIPS FROM THE EARS.

A Young Lady of Observation Says There
Is Much Character in Them.
~ don't know whether there is any such
science as aurology," said a young lady of
observation, "but l find it u very safe and
useful thing to take note Of my friends ears.
1 haven't yet got SO far in my studies as to
formulate a fixed set OF rules for the reading
of character by the size, shape, and convolu-
tions of these funny little head handles of
ours; in fact my studies have been directed
to one point-the top or apex OF the ear.
There's n whole world Of tell-tale indications
there, and il would be good thing If young
girls we're TO form the habit of casting
glance at that part OF the anatomy OF their
callers and admirers and make mental note
for their own guidance by what they see
there.
IF the top of the ear lies close to the head
and the ridge is straight or only gently
rounded the young man that owns that kind
of ear NAV be counted on as being eminently
proper and as harmless as lamb. But if the
top starts away from the head at a wei
defined angle and run ms up to a point befor-
turning down to become the back ridge OF
the ear-well. that young man had better be
kept at a good safe distance. That's the
faun ear. the satyr ear and when those wise
old Greeks and Romans gave to the caperlng
companions of the nymph5 OF the woods goat
legs and goat ears they knew what they were
about. Men haven't changed one whit either,
and that point to the ear Is just as full OF
character and warning to-day as it was when
Bacchus was doing business at the old sign
of The Rollicking Rams.

A curious French timepiece is in the form
of a sundower of silver, which protrudes
from a white crystal vase, graceful in shape
and soberly decorated. The stalk is OF brown
gilt, the leaves green, the petals yellow, and
the heart of the flower deeply oxidized.
Hour and minute marks are engraved around
the heart of this flower, which faces the
looker-on. A ladybird of spotted red enam-

question, however, if bright color and bizarre

A well-known physician of Brooklyn, a
woman highly esteemed both professionally
and personally. has word TO say on the sub
lect of bicycling for women. She considers
the exercise beneficial, when taken in mode
ration, and frequently recommends it to her
patients, but finds that many women object

to riding, not on moral grounds nor because
OF its growing association with trousers as an
article of feminine apparel, but because they

fall ungracefully, and this is held by certain
proportion of women as sufficient reasons for
refusing to ride The doctor suggests that
this objection may be done away with by the
adoption of cutaway coat as part of the
riders costume. the back of the coat being
made long enough TO fall over and conceal
the saddle, but to just clear the rear wheel.
If coat is found to be warm or otherwise un-
desirable, peplum may be worn instead,
short in front where it fastens, and gradually
increasing to the required length at the back.

Successful Cake Making Is Question of

Making FaIIlS.
A woman who invariably succeeds with
her cakes is generally looked upon by less
favored individuals as the possessor OF a
"luck, somewhat akin to witchcraft, which
precludes the possibility of its owner ever
having heavy, burnt, soggy stuff. While
some people may be lucky, yet the greater
number who fail do so from ignorance of
fundamental rules.

HUNTINGDON, Pa, May 2i.-The almost
continuous rainfall of the past four days
has flooded the rivers and streams in the
Juniatn valley to an extent closely APP
preaching the disastrous food Of 1889.
Within twenty-four hours the Juniata
river and the Raystown branch have
risen twenty-five feet. flooding the low
lying farm lands and imprisoning entire
families in their homes, who cannot be
reached. Portstown, a suburb of this
city, was flooded to the second floors of
the houses, and Allegheny street, in this
city, was submerged. The gas company's
works here have been temporarily aban-
doned TO the rising waters, aud many resi-
dences and business houses are flooded to
the second floors. The new iron county
bridges at Mapleton, Mill Greek and Trek
lers have been swept away. All the coun-
try approaches to Huntington have been
closed to travel by the destruction of
bridges and washUuts. At Stonestown,
Bedford county, Mrs. Jacob Miller, while
trying TO save some personal belongings,
was drowned. Whole farms on the Rays
town branch have been practically ruined.

PARIS, May 2l.-Yesterday afternoon
President Carnot refused the appeal for a
rcprieve for the anarchist Emile Henry,
under sentence of death for causing the
explosion in the cafe of the Hotel Terminus
on Feb. 12 last. Counsel for the con-
dcmned man presented the appeal to the
president and supported it with every ar
gument at his command, but NJ. Canot
was inexorable. The execution, there
fore, took place at Ala o'clock this morn
ing, NJ. Deibler, the public executioner,
officiating. As Henry emerged from the
prison gates he shouted "Nive la An
archy" which he repeated just before he
was seized and thrown on the guillotine.
There was no disorder.

OPPOSED TO DILAT0RY TACTICS.
A Majority of the Republicans, 1t IL Be-
neved, Have Determined That Fiiibus-
tsring Must Cause.-The Sugar Schedule
VIII Develop q Sharp Debate.

Will Develop n Sharp Debate.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-The senate be-
gan the seventh week of the discussion of
the tariff bill this morning at 10 O'Clock
by taking up the metal schedule, and the
prospect now is that the entire week will
be devoted to the tariff without attempt
ing any other business than that which
can be done in the first half hour of the
dnily session, and possibly an occasional
brief executive session after o'clock for
thu disposition of uncontested nomina-
tions.
Senator Harris today reaflirmed his in
tention Of pressing the bill forward as
rapidly as it may be possible to do so, but
he said he had no idea of an attempt to
extend the daily sessions beyond o'clock
so long as the work should go on as salts
factorily us it is going on at present. He
expressed the opinion that the Repub-
lican senators who had been opposing the
bill and apparently seeking to delay its
passage had decided to change their pol
icy and to let the bill proceed upon its
passage after giving the various items of
difference the attention demanded by
their merits, and instanced the fact no.

they mean to pass the bill, and that the

Republican party on the question of delay.
with, as they think, majority opposed to
all dilatory tactics.
Senator Aldrich expresses the opinion
that the week will be spent upon tine
metal and wooden schedules, and he says
the discussion will go on much as it has
during the past week--that the Republi-
cans will allow some of the items of the
bill to go unchallenged, and they will ask
explanations and give their opinions of
changes made In others. He thinks it inn
probable that the sugar schedule will be
reached during the week, while Senator
Harris considers it possible that it may
be. They agree that this schedule will,
when reached, develop sharp debate.

the flood was more serious A railroad
signnl tower at Mapleton was washed
away and an iron county bridge at the
same place was thrown down.
Between this city and Mill Crek the loss
suffered by the farmers is very great
Their crops are destroyed, and fences and
buildings have been washed away. The
washing away of the track south of Will
iarnsburg and along the Springfield
branch, and the destruction of the rail
road bridge between Frankstown aud
Flowing Springs, has caused discontinu-
ance Of train service on the Williamsburg
