The Observer Can Learn Much by Per-
using Linear Inscriptions.
We naturally look at young face
for prophecy and at an old one for re-
cord. But the materials from which
we attempt to inform ourselves are of
very different character in the two
classes. In the one case we see gen.
eral arrangement of features, which, ac-
cording to some utterly inscrutable law,
accompanies certain traits of mental
and moral character. No satisfactory
theory has ever been put forward to ac-
count for such facts as that human
beings with a certain inherited square
ness of jaw are always of tenacious
disposition.
But when we scrutinize an older face
we peruse the linear inscriptions upon
we know the author. Not only do such
and such combinations of its lines have
a definite meaning, but we can form an
opinion as to why and when, if not
how, they were written.
i 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
difficulty. Trouble or passion, which
in one instance is recorded in bold
characters, in another may leave scarce
ly visible mark, and it is obvious that
a lean face will betray the story of emo
tional experience more readily than one
covered with mass of fat and smooth

Pineapp1es for Dyspepsia.

According to correspondent with
the coming of the pineapple season, the
word is renewed that the fruit is of es-
pecial value to the dyspeptic. In
countries where the fruit is indigenous
it's hygienic qualities are well known
but the broad statement that the pine
apple everywhere and all conditions of
pineapple are wholesome must be taken
with little Judgment. Ripe, luscious
fruit, not over-ripe nor under-ripe, but
tender, sweet and succulent, is probably
one of the most wholesome foods that
comes to our table. It is easy, however,
to have these conditions infringed upon.
Tough, stringy, hard pines, as SO often
offered, are not wholesome, and are
hard to digest. If the fruit is found
to be not in perfect condition, cutting
it twelve hours beforehand and pouring
a wine glass of rum over it will add to
it's wholesomeness. Sugar freely an
hour before serving, with good powdered
sugar. Emphasis is laid upon the good
quality of the sugar, as in powdered
sugar it is possible to buy abominably
adulterated sorts. IN. Y. Times.

Origin of Spring Cleaning.

Housewives who make point Of rem
ovating their homes at this season of
year may be interested to know the
origin of the custom. According to
good authority the Hebrew women led
the way by the freshening up of every
article about their house to prepare for
Passover. At any rate, in the absence
of any records to show that northern
nations clean out their houses of all the
past years food before the 1st of May,
when they celebrated an ancient pagan
survival in the dance around the May
pole-if even they swept out all old
rushes, then, from the aoors-it is wor-
thy of notice that the Mosaic injunction
about the removal of everything that
would taint the house has taken strong
root among the Gentiles of America.

Electric Freak In a Church.

Recently there was an eclipse Of the
electric light at Elm Road Baptist
chapel, Southsea, and, curiously enough,
the pastor had chosen for his texts,
Proverbs lxxiv. 30, 'The candle of the
wicked shall be put out" and Psalm
xvii, 90, "For thou wilt light my can
die; the Lord my God will enlighten
my darkness" combination rather
cruel to the electric light, for when the
lights went out some Of the congrega-
tion went out also and obtained can
dies and lamps, whereupon service pro-
ceeded. The pastor could not conven-
iently change his texts in consequence
Of what had happened, and he may have
been prepared for the general litter
which followed their announcement.
Lately somewhat similar case occurred
in an American church. and the amuse-
ment was heightened by the action Of a
deacon who absentmindedly lighted a
match and applied it to one Of the cleo
trio lights Lightning.

An Educational Scrap Book.

One mother has introduced new
occupation for her children. This is
the construction of a scrap book of
noted people of the day. Each has a
page on which newspaper picture is
pasted at the top. Beneath this photo
graph the child writes when the person
was born, the briefest account of his or
her life, up to date and" possibly the
time of death. Among the fast-grow-
ing list is the Russian royalties, the
little king of Spain, the queen of Hol-
land, DR.. Holmes, Robert Louis Steven
son, ex-president Carnot, the emperor
of Germany and his children, etc. An
other mother has varied this idea for
her own family of bright little ones.
She has set them at work collecting for
A scrap book all the pictures they can
find of royalty. The result is very in
teresting. There are, of course those
from Russia, the cunning pictures of
the German princes, the youthful
rulers of Spain and Holland and sew
eral among the English family.

CHANCELLOR KENT's


icks, Putnam county, N. z, July 81,
1868. His grandfather, Elisha Kent, and
his father, Moses Kent, were both gradu-
ates Of Yale, and James followed in their
footsteps and was graduated in 1881. He
was one of the founders of the Phi Beta
Kappa society and was q student at Yale
when the British broke up the college and
dispersed the students in 1779.
He studied law with Egbert Benson In
Poughkeepsie and was admitted to the bar
in 1885. He rose early each morning and
devoted several hours to the study of the
classics and modern languages and prac-
ticed law during the day. His evenings
were also devoted to study. In 1890 he be-
gan a three terms service in the New
York assembly and in 1888 ran for con-
gress, but was beaten by his brother-in-
Law. He was an ardent Federalist and be-
came the friend of Hamilton and Jay, who
had high opinion of his abilities.
His growing reputation for legal erudi-
tion won for him the professorship of law
at Columbia college, which he held until
1898, when Governor Jay appointed him a
Justice of the New York state supreme
court. From 1904 until 1914 he was chief
justice of this court and made an exhaust
i've study of the civil law. He defined the
limitations Of the English common law in
its application to the United States and
was untiring In his efforts to determine
unsettled principles. In 1914 he was ap-
pointed chancellor of New York state, and
during his nine years of service Laid the
foundations of equity Jurisprudence in the
United States.
At the age of 60 he was retired, al.
though still in the full possession Of his
physical and mental faculties, and his
name was prominently mentioned for the
United States supreme bench, but Presi-
dent Monroe made another selection. Mr..
Kent then returned to Columbia college.
In 1826-80 his Commentaries, f" covering
the entire field of American and interna-
tional jurisprudence, were published and
are still the standard textbooks every law
student reads. Chancellor Kent died in
New York city in 1s47 at the ripe old age

Rules for sunshiny Girls.

When she was quite little girl she
wrote them out one New Years Day
on clear white slate, and hung it on
her dressing-case where it could always
be seen, writes Ruth Ashmore in very
delightful description of ga Sunshiny
Girl in the May Ladies Home Jour
nal. She had found them in an old
book. John Wesley had laid these
rules out for his life, and though she
felt she might never keep them all, she
tried to live up to them as far as pos
sible. And when she made that resolve
half the battle was fought. Written
out in rather shaky hand were these
rules: "Do all the good you can; by all
means you can; in all ways you can;
in all the places you can; at all the
times you can; to all the people you
can; as long as ever you CAM.

WORKING FOR UNCLE SAM.

Government Service Is Not the Best
Thing for Any Young Fellow.
There are government positions which
hold out excellent possibilities in the
way of developing young mans quail
tiles, writes Edward w. Box in reply
to the question, ''Is government posi-
tion on general principles good thing
for young man who is desirous of a
future?' in the May Ladies' Home
journal. But these are rare. For the
most part, and on general principles, 1
would not advise any young man to
enter the employ of the government,
that is, if he has any ambition. A
government position holds out attrac-
tion to the average young man because
he feels it is safe, that is, so far as the
payment of his salary is concerned.
Then, too, he is apt to believe that gov
ernment salaries are somewhat higher
than the salaries attached to civil pur-
suits. But, to my mind, he buys these
"sure" elements at a very dear cost to
himself. The average government
clerkship is very poor affair. Not
only is it poor itself, but, in ninety
cases out of hundred, it means pure
clerical routine. It has about it
peculiar sitting monotony and restraint
which are apt to quench the fire Of am
bition. Promotion is impossible upon
the same lines as in business house.
The chances for development are
meagre. While there are exceptions to
the general rule, government service is
not the best thing for any young fellow.
He will be wiser if he enetrs into the
more fearless freedom of civil pursuits,
and leaves the average government posi-
tion alone. In the first, he can be what
he likes; in the latter, it is doubtful.

Afraid Of T,uxurias.

Last winter, - said Mr.. q. 81. Cole
man of Chicago, 81 had the pleasure of
attending swell dinner given by one
Of our millionaire townsmen. at which
Gene Field was an invited guest.
Fields brilliancy as writer is in
inverse ratio to his ability as a money
getter. In fact, the element of thrift is
sadly wanting in his makeup.
There were many good things to
tempt the palate, among them straw
berries, which are costly luxury in the
dead Of winter at Chicago.
"When Fields bowl of berries were
placed beside him, he looked at them
with the scrutinizing air of an epicure,
and then, in very emphatic way,
pushed them to one side, noticing which
his host said:
AREN'T you fond Of strawberries,
Mr. Field?'
Yes, very much indeed, but they

THE FUTURE OF JAPAN.
Concern Is Manifested as to the Use Ja-
pan will Make of ii er victory.

Concern Is Manifested as to the Use Ja-
pan will Make of ii er victory.
Now that the treaty of peace between
China and Japan has been formally
ratified, some concern is manifested in
certain quarters as to the use Japan
will make of her victory. Will she,
encouraged by her military success, be-
come aggressive and a disturber of the
peace, seeking other Asiatic conquests?
The answer to these questions is given
by Count Okuma, one of the ablest,
most experienced and enlightened
statesmen in Japan, in an interview
New York Herald. This gentleman
declares that Japan has no military as
pirations. "We seek only material ad-
vancement and home prosperity, and
Japan can never play the bully" He
adds that the people of Japan are in
full sympathy with the spirit of mod
ern progress; that they are concerned
in education and the development of
industry, and that their supreme desire
is to live at peace with all the world.
At the same time they will not submit

nations. Count Okuma expresses a
particular solicitude for the enlarge
ment of trade relations between his
country and the United States, "our
nearest amicable neighbors," and he
suggests that if our counsels were as ac-
tive and jealous in promoting business
intercourse as the representatives of
England, Germany and France, the
volume of trade might be greatly in
creased.
These general statements as to the
future policy of Japan are in strict ac-
cordance with the avowals of the Mi
kado and all the influential leaders in
affairs. Their sincerity, in view of
the moderation before displayed under
circumstances peculiarly calculated to
infame the national temper, cannot be
questioned. Japan not only has dis
played remarkable prowess in arms,
but prudence in and equanimity of
craftsmanship, self-control in dealing
with her PROSTATE foe, which, it may
with truth be said, few if any European
governments would have exhibited
under like conditions. Weekly.
