Facial Expression.

We naturally look at a young face for
a prophecy and at an old one for a rec
ord But the materials from which we
attempt to inform ourselves are of a
very different character in the two
classes. Ia the one case we see a general
arrangement of features, which, accord
ing to some utterly inscrutable law, ac-
companies certain traits of mental and
moral character. No satisfactory theory
has ever been put forward to account for
such facts as that human beings with a
certain inherited squareness of jaw are
always of tenacious disposition.
But when we scrutinize an older face
we peruse the linear inscriptions upon
its surface as we read book of which
we know the author. Not only do such
and such conformations of its lines have
definite meaning, but we can form an
opinion as to why and when, if not how,
they were written.
The caligraphy, of course, is not uni
form in all cases, and there are various
complexities about it which may render
an exact Interpretation matter of diff
ficulty. Trouble or passion, which in
one instance is recorded in bold char
acters, i'll another may leave scarcely a
visible mark, and it is obvious that a
lean face will betray the story of emo
tional experience more readily than one
covered with mask of fat and smooth
skin. -Blackwood's Magazine.

An amusing story is told about tho
construction Of telegraph line from
Bagdad, in Asia Minor, to the Persian
capital of Teheran. The frontier line
between Turkey and Persia was so in
definable that a tract of no less than II
miles of land over which the telegraph
would have to be carried was in dispute,
each of the two countries claiming the
right to its possession. Now, the engi-
neering stores supplied to the Turkish
government differed from those supplied
to the Persian government. The former
had wooden telegraph poles; the latter
iron ones. The Persian government, i'll
their jealous hatred of the Turks, fear
ed that if wooden poles were erected
across the disputed territory, posterity
would regard them as proof that the ter
ritory was Turkish. On the other hand,
the Turks objected to iron poles being
used lest in the far future they should
be adduced by Persia as evidence that
the land was hers. The way the super
intendent of the work contrived to get
out of the difficulty did credit to his in
genuity and resource. He set up first a
wooden pole, then an iron one, then an
other wooden, then an iron again, and
SO on, alternating wood and iron for
the whole II miles. Bow Bells.

Platinum.

The discovery of deposits of platinum
in this country would be as welcome as
the finding of diamond mine. At pres
ent the metal costs nearly half as much
as gold, having risen greatly in price
within the last three years. 1t is abso-
lutely indispensable for many purposes,
being noncorrosive and resisting acids
1t is used for chemical apparatus, scien-
tific instruments and incandescent
lamps. There is some platinum in the
beach sands of Oregon, but not enough
to pay for mining. Small quantities of
it have been discovered recently in the
copper mines of Canada, where it occurs
in a new combination with arsenic.
Two-thirds of the worlds supply of
Hlatinum comes from two Siberian mines
iA the Ural mountains. The metal is OBJ
thined there as a by product of gold
mining. The mining is done by scooping
holes in the ground to depth of about
Is feet and then burrowlng, rat fashion,
in all directions. Twenty nine hundred
carloads of earth are required to yield Is
pounds of platinum. The biggest nugget
ever found was about the size of tum-
bier. Now the gold is getting scarce, and
the laborers have been drawn off to build
the great transsiherian railway. Hence
the increased cost of platinum, which,
unless new deposits are found, is like
ly never to be cheaper than it is at pres
ent. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Two families were recently greatly
disturbed over a telegram. A son and
a daughter of these families had married
and gone away on a bridal tour of three
weeks or month, as the case might be.
Two days after the three weeks were up
the brides parents received a telegram,
which read:
Have had a row with my husband. Am COM
ing home KITTY.
To say this was not startling would
be to say what was not true, and the
BRIDES parents at once fastened to tho
home of the groom's parents, only to
find there similar message, except that
it read, "Have had row with my
wife. " Messages were wired at once,
but no replies were received, as the cou-
pie had evidently started home imme-
diately after they had sent their COM
munications. Then there followed an
anxious waiting, and 36 hours later the
happy couple turned up smiling, with the
explanation that it was a row on the
river they were talking about, and they
weren't to blame if the telegraph didn t
pronounce words correctly. Detroit

a razor for, say, 81, and after he's used

there were 300 passengers killed on

a decrease of II from the previous

The total number of passengers car
ried during the year was 500, $780,

death rate due to railroad accidents
was but one in 100000. This is
very low. When a mans chances of
being killed are but one in 100000
he is not apt to worry. 1t is crafty
ing to know that, even with the great
increase of travel last year, the num-
Der of fatalities was nearly % per
cent. less than in the previous year.
These statements prove that railroad
travel is not only comparatively safe
but that it is being made safer every
