kin receives as many dollars there are mem
bcrs in good standing in the club and in the
event of his wife's death he receives many
half dollars as there are members In good stand

should say its street corners. Not the
corners of the streets, but the unend-
ing, spectacular, typical but never the

steps out of the throng for a brief
space and regards a street crossing as
an observer. Each street corner has
idiosyncrasies peculiar to itself, and
there are many of them which are like
truth in that if you take your stand
on them the world, or at least quite a

The most interesting subject on the
face Of the earth to humanity is hu-
mainly. There is absolutely nothing
SO alluring as the mysterious world
bounded by each individuality. Books,
not a few, have been written on the
various ways by which one may pen
citrate through the surface of seeming
to the central facts of character.
In these numerous volumes the
hands, the feet, the eyes, the mouth,
the nose and even the ears are made to
serve as indexes. Many eminent men
have believed that they were able to
Judge men and women by one or more
of these tests. 1t is related of the
famous detective, Allen Pinkerton,
who had charge Of the government Sc
cret service during the civil war, that
he judged men by their ears and the
size Of their heads and never permitted
any man to enter his employ or pay any
attention to his daughter whose head
was under size or whose ears were not
of certain conformation.
A test not told of in the books, but
which is really very excellent reveal
er of character is the manner in which
people make their way across crowd
