Crushing a Foreign Snob.

Foreigners have a fatal inability TO
appreciate the turns of American humOr
and repartee, says the Washington
Post, and there is now a diplomat OF
more or less prominence in the foreign
service here who is looking for the
blood of an American correspondent on
the score of an insult received in the
theater. They were both standing back
of the rail in the National the other
evening during the performance of
The Little Trooper" The sprightly
Della had just got through with her
duel scene. and the chorus broke out
after the manner of choruses to close up
the act. His diplomats was quite taken
with the performance. Jaw, quite
clevah," he calculated, 'verwy clevah
sword play for girls; let's have that
again" and be commenced to applaud.
Quite clevah," he insisted, turning to a
newspaper man standing alongside him,
won't you join me in this encore?"
well, you've seen it once" was the
dry response of the blase reporter. If
you want to see it again why don't you
come in tomorrow night?"
The legationer was quite taken off
his feet by this unexpected reiOinder,
and failed entirely to see any humor in
it. 'I-er-don't you know l consider
you quite impertinent,' exclaimed the
wOuld-be encorer. "I-es-in fact
think YOU are no gentleman"
And do you know what think of
you?" was the easy reply. Il think
you are no Judge" And the foreigner,
who was looking for at least a chal-
lenge to duel. collapsed at this indif-
ference to the code, while the CORE
spondent and his next door neighbor
went out TO get a drink.

THE STORY OF THE THUMBS.
A Young Lady of Observation says Tn
are Tell Tales of Disposition.

If you will allow me the Hiberni-
cism, said young lady Of observa-
ton, Il would like you to note for me
that the true index finger is the thumb.
| do not mean that from the length of
its phalanges you can find out whether
there IS a blonde divinity or a brunette
fate awaiting you, or that from its
spatulated or oval nail | can tell wheth-
er you like pictures or horse races-all
that sort of digital cOniuring | leave to
the palm mysticists. But what do
mean is that the thumb is a remarkable
indicator of its owners bodily and men
tai condition.
The newborn babe holds lis thumbs
in the palms of its hands, clenched in
its little fists, and it is only when the
mind and body expand that it takes its
thumbs out and holds them up as indie
pendent organs. What deep connec-
ton there may be between this fact and
our simian ancestry | cannot say. Let
mothers watch their children's thumbs,
and if they stick out boldly it is an I'M
falling indication of good health and az
gressive disposition, while if they have
a tendency to seek the shelter of the fin
gers it means feeble health and sub
serYlent will.
Just notice the thumbs of your
friends now, and you will see the same
relations between their posture and the
mans constitution of mind and body.
The conditions are simplicity itself; the
weak mans thumb is weak and pen
dant, the strong mans thumb is strong
and erect. The paralleliSm is so marked
that you can tell at glance ut a mans
thumbs whether he is an aimless think
er or man who carries his ideas, or
somebody else'S, into action.
1T may be treachery to my sex, but |
don't mind telling you that it will be
good thing for you fellows TO mark
we'll the thumbs of the ladies of your
choice. If the girls thumb, be it ever so
prettily rosy has a tendency to stand
at right angles TO the hand-welI the
gray mare will need a bit, that's all;
while if it lies flat, or droops a little,
sou can count on marital submission to
the master mind, and that's the sort of
domestic paradise all you sons of Adam
are looking for, isn't it?
with the waning of the powers of
frame and brain pot comes the depres-
sion, | had almost said the recession, of
the thumb, and whether in senility or
idiocy the thumb is always turned in.
And then, when you turn your face to
the wall and know no more summer
heat nor winters cold, those that stand
about you and say: We'll, poor old
chap, he's gone at last. will find that
you have tucked your thumbs away in
the shelter of your hands, just as yor
had them when you were little baby

A Badger State Crow Story.

A good crow story is told by the
railroad men at Portage. Mr.. GindeT,
a well-known farmer living near the
banks of Silver lake, was the owner NJ
a valuable pet crow. which he called
Pete. The bird would greet every
stranger with "caw, cav" and never
appeared at all afraid to flop his win 5
and show delight at the meeting. i
few weeks ago two railroad employees
went on quiet hunt, and ther
strayed toward Mr.. Ginder's farm. O.d
Pete came running out to greet the
strangers. but this time it proved a bad
move on his part. One of the hunters
took Pete for duck, and raising his
double barreled shotgun, blazed away
with both barrels. That ended Pete's
earthly career. He was carried to town
in a sack and presented to a barber as
canvas-back. The barber thought he
had been .2lade the victim of joke, and
he bad poem written about the crow,
and published in Portage paper. The
poem happened to catch Mr.. Ginder's
eye and he Immediately began an inves-
tigation- He learned TO his sorrow that
il was really Old Pete that had been
made the subject of the joke. He is
now ANXIOUS TO meet the hunters.

General Rule.

Among Baron Haussman's recollec-
tons of his earlier experience as a pub
lie Administrator is one of an interview
with Casimir-Perier, grandfather of the
French president, long before that much
lamented statesman died, in 1882, OF
cholera Young Haussmann had been
making an official tour of the district OF
Poitiers and on his return to Paris was
summoned before Casimir-Perier, who
had recently become president of the
council.
The Young man had to answer a thou
sand questions, many of them of deli
cate nature, about the condition OF
political parties in the department, the
possible influence of the administra-
ton in the legislative election and so on.
In the course of the conversation
something was said about the wife
of one of the projects, whereupon young
Hanssmann spoke warmly of her do
nestle virtues, with which he had been
warmly impressed.
"Oh, yes" said Casimir-Perier, "but
she is too common a body for a town
which contains so many well-bred and
cultivated people" And he added,

Il shall be obliged to establish, by the

But the wary statesman gave his

about the diplomacy to be observed in
the treatment of such themes. As Hauss-
mann had his hand upon the door the
president called him back.
by the way" he said, "A young Of
ticer ought always to find the wives
and daughters OF deputies amiable and
even pretty.
That was all; but as HausSmann went
down the stairs he remembered to have
spoken slightingiy some time before of
the wife OF a certain deputy, who was
rs tiresome as she WAS ugly. He Won
dered, he says, how the president of the
council could have heard Of the matter
but he accepted the rebule and laid to
heart the lesson.
