TIPS FROM THE EARS.

A Young Lady of Observation SayA
There Is Much Character in Them.
81 don't know whether there is any
such science as aurology," said young
lady of observation, "but l find 1t u
very safe and useful thing to take notQ
Of my friends ears l haven't yet got
so far in my studies as to formulate q
fixed set of rules for the reading Of
character by the size, shape and conv0,
lutions of these funny little head-han,
dies of ours; in fact, my studies have
been directed to one point-the top or
apex Of the ear. There's whole world
of tell-tale indications there, and il
would be good thing If young girls
were to form the habit of casting q
glance at that part Of the anatomy of
their callers and admirers, and make
a 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 may be counted
on as being eminently proper and as
harmless as a lamb. But if the top
starts away from the head at a well
defined angle and runs up to a point
before turning down to become the
back ridge of the ear-well, that young
man had better be kept at good safe
distance. That's the faun ear, the
satyr ear, and when those wise old
Greeks and Romans gave to the caper-
ing companions of the nymphs of the
woods goat legs and goat ears they
knew what they were about. Men
haven't changed one whit, either, and
that point of 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. 1"

Laugh and Grow Fat.

Garrick was in the midst of a tragedy
when suddenly he stopped and roared
with laughter. What was the cause?
Why, simply this: "a butcher in the
front of the pit, who had taken off his
wig to wipe the sweat from his head,
had placed the wig for awhile upon his
large dog, who stood facing the stage,
with his forepaws resting on the pit
ratings"
This is as good an example as could
be found to contest the foolish asser-
ton that all laughter has it's rise in
something inevitably lowering to hui
man nature. 1t was pure incongruity
The French tell us that 'le rire est
hygienique." We knew that even be-
fore they made the phrase, but it is
well to have their confirmation of the
fact. Salubrious! Why, of course it
is. For what purpose else did our wise
forefathers keep certificated fools TO
make sport for them at their meals
and in their intervals of business, or
more methodical pleasures eeking?-

Derivation of "Grass widow"


The phrase grass widow" or rather
"grace widow" for the first has no
foundation in fact, and Is simply a
barbarism, or fungus, which has at.
tached itself to the English language.
"Grace widow" is a term for one who
becomes q widow by grace or favor,
not of necessity, as by death, and Origi-
mated in the earlier ages of European
civilization, when divorces were grant
ed but seldom, and wholly by authority
of the Catholic Church.
When such decree was granted to a
woman the Papal rescript stated "Vi-
duca de gratia," which interpreted is
"widow of grace" In the law of the
French it would read" Veuve de
grace" which in England gives "wid-
ow of grace" or "grace widow, "veuve
being translated as widow" In his
novel and exceedingly interesting pa
per, Judge Turpie also makes again
public two important historical facts:
That the whole system of law in rela
ton to marriage and divorce originated
in the Roman Church, and that French
was the official language and court
vernacular, not only in England but
of Western Europe during this period
of ecclesiastical ascendency.-In
apolis News.

Fish as Household Pets.

In Oriental countries it is customary
to have valuable fish as household pets,
in the same way as we have cats and
'gs, and in almost every house in
)an one can find jars containing some
q specimens. Japanese noblemen
nave large aquaria, in which are to be
found species of odd and curious fish
that have been cultivated for the past
500 years or more. In China the para
disc fish is a good example of the result
of careful cultivation, for it is nowhere
found in avid state, and is remarkable
for it's colors which surpass in brillian-
cy those of any other fish eXtant
Another household pet is the Chinese
comet household goldfish, which Is
equipped with immense caudal fins that
spread out like sails when the fish is
swimming. The scaleless goldfish is
incident to Germany and, as the name
implies, the popularity about it is that
the body is entirely without scales, so
that one can see the heart and other in
ternal organs.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

BY the wise and abundant provision
of the United States Government there
are now on the shores of Lake Superior
some Of the wealthiest Indians-mean-
ing those who still cling to their tribal
relatiOns-that can be found anywhere,
There are Indians, full-blooded Chippe-
was of the Northern Wisconsin tribes,
who, by leaving their tribes and reser-
vatiOns and learning practical meth
DDS of business, have come into some To-
cal prominence as being well-to-do and
safe business venturers. But the num-
Der is very few. The most surprising
fact is that scores of Indians, who still
cling to the traditions of their forefath-
ers, and who do not seem to have any
inclination to sever tribal relations, are
rich and do not know it. The govern
ment has taken very wise precaution
in their behalf by clothing the Indian
agent with authority to act as guardian
to their wealth. 1t is a very common
thing to see credited on the books of
the Indian agent department, in the
government building at Ashland,
amounts as high as $4,000 or more to
some individual Indian. These are by
no means out-and-out gifts from the
government, although direct appropria-
tons of large amounts have been scat
tered among the Indians by the govern
ment agents. The long list of amounts
which nowappear on the credit side of
the ledger for some long Indian names,
appear there as the result of CONNER
cial exchange, to which the Indians
themselves and the purchasers of their
timber are parties, while the govern
ment, as a third party, sees that every
thing is transacted properly, and that
nothing to the Indians detriment is
done. Timber on most of the fifteen
reservations under the supervision of
the La Pointe agency is valuable. This
timber is now being cut under the super.
vision of the Indian agent, and the cof-
fers Of the Chippewas are being filed.
