CRIMINAL LINES.
A Mans Character Cannot Always Be
Discerned in His Face.

A Mans Character Cannot Always Be
Discerned in His Face.
IL used to lie a strong believer in ply
siognomy," said r. c. Ridley to Wash
ington Star writer, but have lost some
of my faith in it as science. In fact, a
mans surroundings have very much to
do with the character shown by his
face. / had an illustration of this COM
ing into Washington. When we left
Chicago l noticed a group of men two
OF three seats in front oe me, but paid
no attention to them particularly, but
after we had gone about so miles L saw
that one of them was haudcuffed. He
was well-dressed, and at first l thought
he did not look like criminal, but soon
saw lines that betokened cunning dupli-
city and lack of morality generally.
l became so interested that my gaze at
tracted the attention of one of the Off
GERS having him in charge, and he said:
You seem to be studying the man have
there. Did you ever see him before? p
told him 1 had not, but was a Physi-
ogpomist, and was studying the Grim
inal lines in the face. He prevailed up
on me to make a report on the mans
character, which was greeted with
laughter from the prisoner as well as
the officers. Then they explained ihat he
was of irreproachable character, and in
a prank had tried on the cuffs, which be-
lOnged to the officer, and the key being
lost, could not get them off. Then the
criminal lines in the face all disap

Mexican Cemetery in Which Resting
Place Can Be Had at Small Cost.

Mexican Cemetery in Which a Resting
Place Can Be Had at Small Cost.
A correspondent of the Boston Tray
eler describes the queer cemetery of
the Mexican city of Guanajuato.
There is hardly room in Guanajuato for
the living, so it behooves the people to
exercises rigid economy in the disposi-
ton of her dead. The burial place is on
the top of a steep hill, which overlooks
the city and consists of area inclosed
by what appears from the outside to
be high wall, but which discovers it
self from within to be a receptacle for
bodies, which are placed IN tiers,
much as the confines of their native val
leys compel them to live. Each apart
ment in the wall is large enough to ad-
NIT one coffin, and is rented for 81 per
mouth. The poor people are buried in
the ground without the formality of a
coffin, though one is usually rented in
which the body is conveyed to the
grave. As there are not graves enough
20 go round, whenever a new one is
needed previous tenant must be dis
turbed, and this likewise happens when
a tenants rent is not promptly paid in
advance. The body is then removed
from its place in the mausoleum or ex-
humed, as the case may be, and the
bones are thrown into the basement be-
low.

PLANTS THAT GO INToATRA
Eastern Man Invents a Plan for Arresting |
Vegetation.

Vegetation.
curious exhibit is made at the Me-
chanics' fair. 1t is nothing more nor
less than display of '::mummilied"
plants. 1t requires label to inform
the people that they are dead, says the
Boston Transcript, for the plants ap-
pear exactly as if alive and growing.
They are not made of wax, or of cloth,
but are genuine plants that have grown
in the earth until they have reached a
good state of development, when, by
their being treated to a certain iniec-
ton, the growth is arrested Then
comes the strange part, for the plants
so treated do not droop and die, the
leaves remain fresh and bright, and the
plant stands erect. 1t is. moreover,
impervious to heat and cold, and moth
ing seems able to destroy its strange
repose. The most striking part of the
exhibit is a collection of large palms
used for decorating. These plants are
noted for being very tender and sus-
ceptible to almost every influence.
Those on exhibition have been dead for
six months, yet not even when the
leaves are carefully examined would
the fact be suspected. The exhibit
promises to create much interest
among visitors to the fair, as the many
advantages of having plants thus i'm
pervious to all conditions can be readily
seen. The credit of providing the eN-
hibit belongs to a New Hampshire man,
who discovered the process of treating
the plants

-oCCESS Or TREE SISTERS.
Reverses in Fortune Induce Them to
Open a Lunch Reom.

Open Lunch Room.
The city of Cincinnati possesses
striking example of what can be done
by woman's pluck when accompanied
by practical common sense. Twelve
years ago the Misses Stewart, three
young women who had been reared in
wealth, were by business failures
thrown upon their own resources.
They secured n room in a business
block and established a lunch-rooIn,
where they made speciality of home
cookery. Most of the work they did
with their own hands, and the excel
lence of their supplies soon created a
demand. The little Iunch-room became
success, and at the end of five years,
when the great Chamber of Commerce
building was put up and there was to be
large restaurant connected with it,
the Misses Stewart boldly applied fer
it. They were backed by many of the
best business men of the city. who had
known them in their days of wealth
and been impressed by their ability as
business women. Their bid was ac-
cepted. the Misses Stewart assumed
charge of the ''Glencairn'' lunch-room,
and have conducted it without break
or failure for the last seven years.
The clientele is very large. For rert
and services alone the yearly expenses
are $4,000. The prices charged for
food are very reasonable, yet the sis
tcrs not only paid all expenses, but live
in comfort and are becoming wealthy.
They have never lost social position by
going into business, and during their
entire career have never had to borrow
a dollar

What Produces Discomfort in a Crowded
Room.
A very important investigation into
the nature of the substances contained
in air expired by human beings, says
the London Graphic, has just been
completed by two prominent men of
science in America, DR.. j. S. Billings
and DIR. S. Weir Mitchell. As a result
of their extended researches they de-
clare that ''the discomfort produced by
crowded, ill-ventilated rooms, in per-
due to the excess of carbonic acid, nor
to bacteria, nor in most cases to dust
of any kind. The two great causes of
such discomfort, though not the only
ones, are excessive temperatures and
unpleasant odors." But though the
air actually expired by healthy men
and animaIs contains no more poison
Gus substances than carbonic acid gas,
experiments on the air in inhabited
rooms and hospital wards are said to
show that an important source of con-
tamination is the minute particles of
dusts, in which there are micro-organ-
isms, and it seems probable that these
are the only really dangerous clements
in the air. These views, and the con-
clusion that the presence of carbonic
acid gas is not a trustworthy criterion
of the existence of other and more poi
sonous eXhaIations, are likely to be
questioned by many students of ventila-
ton.

On one of the South Halsted street
cars, when it left the neighborhood of
the stock yards the other morning, was
q man with brand new valise that had
splashes of mud on it and gave other
evidence of having just arrived in Chi
cago, says the Tribune.
The man wore a black felt hat and a
large checked suit, and there was mud
enough on his heavy boots to show he
had just traversed portion of the stock
yards. He boarded the car at Thirty
ninth street, put his valise on the seat
beside him, and when the conductor
stopped to take his fare he pulled out
roll of bills.
The conductor extracted a nickel
from a one dollar bill and handed over
the change. The man with the valise
extracted silver quarter dollar from
the change and handed it back to the
conductor.
Here" he said, so loudly that every
one in the car looked to see what was
going on, "here's quarter for your
self"

ductor. II don't want any more"
