Town Without a Necktie.

Town Without Necktie.
''Georgiana, said Mr.. Dalrymple,
lit seems to me that you spend alto
gether too much time worrying about
what other folks are likely to think
about you. Why don't you follow my
example and have little independ-
enceP AS long as know that am do
ing my duty as man what do care
how others like my styleH''
II don't know" Mrs. Dalrymple re-
piled, what you mean. In what way
havs been worrying about what other
folks think of me2'
"Oh, in hundred ways" her hus.
band answered. "You wouldn't wear
the waist you have on If it were not for
the fact that all the other women wear
them and would think you couldn't
afford it if you didn't have one. You
wouldn't care whether you had lace
curtains at the windows If other folks
didn't have them. You wouldn't spend
money for a hundred and one other
things that you could get along with
out just as we'll as not if you were not
always trying to pose before other peo-
pie. F"
WELL" Mrs. Dalrymple assented,
for she was not disposed to quarrel over
the matter, lit is perhaps as you say
l am sorry that it is SO, but can Il help
it. Aren't you afraid you'll be late at
the office this morningi And you
haven't put on your neoktie this morn

You must think I'm crazy. Why, the

Then Mrs. Dalrymple sat down and

merry curves appeared at the corners of
her mouth. Cleveland Leader.

THE NOSE AND THE TOES.
A Physical Culturist Says Pigeontoed Peo-
pie Have Crooked Noses.

pie Have Crooked Noses.
A professor of physical culture an
nounoes that he has discovered an in
of the nose and the position of the feet.
His name is H. L. Piner, and he COM
municates his observations to the New
York Journal:
You can tell a pigeontoed person
without looking at his feet or seeing
him walk. The discovery was made by
me in 1891 while teaching physical
culture. I found a stubborn awkward
ness in the movements of my pupils
feet. Looking for the cause, 1 found
that many of them were pigeontoed.
In others one foot was correct and the
other turned in.
In teaching correct breathing l had
to investigate the condition of the nasal
passages. Then found that wherever
the person was pigeontoed in the right
foot the right nostril was stopped up or
otherwise deformed. It was the same
with the left foot or nostril If both
nostrils were defective, both feet were
pigeontoed.
At one time l examined 26 persons,
and every one of them was pigeontoed
in the left foot, with corresponding
defect in the left nostril. At another
time examined over 40 with view to
testing my discovery. Some of them had
we'll developed nostrils and were not at
all pigeontoed. Some had overwide
nostrils, with overwide angles at the
feet to correspond.
Girls / found more generally and
worse pigeontoed than boys. The per-
son who has a whining or snuff1ing
voice is usually pigeontoed
Another discovery is that with the
defective nostrils were found invariably
stopped shoulders and hollow chests, the
stoop and hollow always bearing
direct ratio with the defect In extreme
cases there was an ugly protrusion of
the abdomen, tendency to draw back
and upward the upper lip, exposing the
teeth, that have also an unsightly pro-
truding tendency.
Tell your friend to walk from you.
Watch his feet. If the left turns in, tell
ILL ol1nb LIS ACAb nOcbI44 10 budu
the right. That is, that he can take
more air atany given inspiration through
the right than through the left nostril
alone. If the right foot turns in, tell
him his right nostril is the smaller.
Conversely, tell him to place the
end of the thumb under and against the
nostrils alternately, breathing through
the open one each time, and ask him
which nostril admits the greater amount
of air. If it is the left, tell him be is
pigeontoed in the right foot and vice
versa. Demonstrate by having him walk
naturally.
Remember that the proper angle is
80 degrees on either side of the median
line, or so degrees with both feet. Do
not close the nostril from the side, but
gently from underneath. .

scott's Narrow Escape.

The world had a narrow escape of
never having known Sir Walter Scott.
When tiny babe, be was left in charge
of maid, but the girls heart was in
Edinburgh, whittier she wanted to &c
to rejoin her lover. She was, however,
compelled to stay and look after the
infant at Sandy Knowe. The girl re-
garded her charge as an obstacle to be
removed. and afterward confessed that
she carried young Scott up to the Craigs
(under strong temptation of the devil,
as she expressed it), fully intending to
cut his throat with her scissors and
bury him under the moss.

Iron In Architecture.

The use of iron in architecture is not
SO new as people are accustomed to
think. At Delhi is forged iron column
90 feet high. 1t is 16 inches in diameter
at the base and 10 inches at the top.
Its weight is estimated at about IL
tons. From records extant it is reason
ably certain that it was already in ex-
istenoe 900 years b. @.

According to the traditions Of the
Greeks, the first discovery Of iron by
the human race was made on Mount
Ida. by tribe called Dactyles. It is
said that the forest was set on fire by
lightning, and so intense was the heat
of the great masses of fallen trees that
the bed of iron beneath was melted and
trickled in small streams down into the
valley

The late William S. Groesbeck of
Cincinnati never took another law case
after his defense of President Andrew
johnson. "The brilliant speech which
won that case" says the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune, proved the man IS
remarkable will and intellectual pow
ers. He had been SO i'll as to be confined
to his bed, and on the day of the trial,
and while lying in bed, he jotted down
on sheet Of fOoIsoap paper the main
points of his defense. He was driven to
the tribunal in carriage, unable to
walk, and spoke extempore for four
hours and half At the close article
II was voted upon and the president
acquitted without the taking up of any
of the other articles. Since that time
Mr.. Groesbeck had lived life of quiet
and retirement. In 1879 he built Elm
hurst, noble house of superb proper
tions, commanding a river view of un-
surpassed beauty. "

MAzARIN BIBLES COME HIGH,
What They Are and why They Are So
CaIIed-@2O.OOO For One ConY.

What They Are and Why They Are So
Called-@2O,O 900 For One Copy.
At the sale Of the Ashburnham library
in London copy of the Mazarin Bible
brought the good sized sum of 500, 000
The Mazarin Bible is SO called because
a copy of it was first discovered by De
Bure in the library of Cardinal Mazarin,
in Paris, about 1760 It's value for book
collectors lies in the fact that it is the
first book of any magnitude printed
from movable types. 1t was issued by
Gutenberg at Mainz, in 1865, and for
that reason Henry Stevens calls it the
Gutenberg Bible. 1t is divided into two
volumes, the first containing 1874 and
the second 81 pages, each page consist
ing of two columns The characters,
which are Gothic, are large and hand
some and very much resemble manu-
script. Before the discovery of this BIZ
be the so called Bamberg Bible of Pts
ter was generally regarded as the first
printed book, but that honor Is now
universally accorded to the former work.
According to DR.. Austin Allibone,
1ISI0 are StA hAOWu OOp4os VI tuo mdDd-
rim Bible ON vellum, one of which is the
volume found in the Mazarin library.
The copies on vellum, however, are later
than the copies on paper, ri of which
are known to be in existence. There is
vellum copy Of the Bible in the Brit
ish museum and a paper copy in the
Lenox library of this city. The present
value of perfect copy of the Mazarin
Bible on paper is about $15, 900, and
those on vellum are valued at about
$40, 900. Practically, however, their
value is variable quantity, depending
on what the book collectors are willing
to give for them 1t has long been q
matter Of dispute whether the types en-
ployed in printing this Bible were me-
tallic or wooden. but the question is
still undecided. AS a specimen of early
printing the work is magnificent, con-
tanning richly embellished capitals in
blue, red and purple. New York Trib-

ARMOR PLATE RIDDLE.

The press dispatches indicate that the
navy department fficials are in guam
Diary over the armor plate situation which
is likely to put the government to great
deal of expense and trouble. The score
tary of the navy has recommended that
he be authorized by congress to readver-
tise for the much wanted armor, but it is
difficult to understand how such action
would tend to solve the question, unless
the price offered is changed. This might
bring more than single response which
was all that appeared in evidence as re-
suit of the first attempt at advertising.
Meantime three American ships of war
are waiting for their armor.
A good way to solve this corporation
riddle, would be for the government to
carry out its original intention as stated,
and put up an armor plate mandatory
of its own. In fact this would seem to be
the only solution, for the last advertise
ment has proved conolusively that armo1
cannot be obtained at the price which
the government has decided to pay. The
only feasible method is for the govern.

A SHAMEFUL SPECTACLE.

The sultan has expressed in an auto
graph letter his gratitude to the ozar of
Russia, and he probably expects that it
will be passed around among the other
powers as including them in his ex
pressions. This is the least the sultan
can do. He is under as great obligations
to one as to another-to Great Britain as
to Russia.
The sultan began by numbering his
SUBJECTS in Armenia with every attendant
circumstance of fendish outrage that the
mind OF man or devil could suggest, and
the powers stood calmly by giving at
least their passive encouragement. The
Cretans rose in insurrection, threatened
with the fate of the Armenians, when the
admiration felt by the powers for the
sultan and his methods, advanced from
a passive to an active form, and they in
terfered to aid in the suppression of
Crete. British ships bombarded Cretans
when they seemed in a fair way to whip
the Turks. British soldiers were landed
in support of the sultan's authority, and
Greece Is bullied and threatened as the
staunch friend of the oppressed Cretans.
The sultan in dispensing his favors
should make no distinction. The ALI
ance is one of which Christian England
has no reason to be proud, and it is
doubtful if she would hoard as treasure.

inspection of posterity.
