A 5-year-old who happened to be
present when his auntie's new hat came
home the other day was much impress
ed by the praise accorded it on all sides.
One word, however, puzzled him.
Beautiful" and 'sweet" and "ele-
gant''-all these terms were clear
enough, but when it came to 'Frenchy"
he was at a loss to know what was
meant. what does F'rencby' mean,
mammal he asked. what
is Frenchy?'" His mother therefore ex-
planned that "Frenchy" meant all the
other nice things that had been said
about the hat and more too. 1t was the
weight of worldly encomium. when
you wish to say that thing is partic-
ularly pretty and graceful and artistic,
when you want to give it the very high
est praise she said, you call it
Frenchy. -
To all of which the 5-year-old listen

tive of his species. Some days after
this, when the arrival of the hat had
presumably been forgotten by every
one, the 5-year-old, with his aunt. at

on his return his mother asked him
what he thought of it all. "Oh, 1 liked

Horses Fed on Beefsteaks.

"Of all fads that fashionable people
indulge in over their pets, think the
strangtst idea is Nhat of giving their
horses meat as variation TO their ordi-
nary diet" said a veterinary surgeon.
Beef only is used. 1t is baked until
quite dry, then minced very fine and
given mixed with oats or meal. The
animals, so far from refusing, seem to
relish the mixture, and it is thought to
improve their condition and courage
but if continued too long they become
vicious and their coats deteriorate
"A we'll known titled lady expends a
good sized sum altogether in meat for
her numerous carriage horses and hacks.
She has one mare that will greedily eat

minced small, and it has one per week.

The rempering of Springs.

It is a nice Job TO temper steel
spring properly. Like many other
things, the preparatory work should be
well done, on the tempering proper Will
never be success. The forge work
should be done with rather low tenn
perature and gentle taps Smiths are
beginning TO understand that very
many bits of forging have the life
pounded out of them by heavy and con-
tinuous beating Light taps smooth the
surface and create what Is equivalent
to a cuticle over the metal. This should
be carefully preserved. Light hammer
ing consolidates the PARTICLES OF steel
and touehens the forging. 1t is said
that continuous, steady and light blows
with hammer will magnetic steel.
1t seems to put life into it. If it is nee
essary to grind spring, do it at the
outset and before much OF the hammer
ing is done. Do not put 1t on an emery
wheel. 1t breaks the cuticle and de-
stroys the integrity of the metal. The
hardening may be done by heating a
large piece of iron to red heat, then

Another way is to hold the spring
over bright fire until it is sufficiently
hot 1t should be kept some distance
from the fire, so as not to heat too
quickly. When it is of light red and
all of a color, plunge it into cool water.
Do not use ice water, as is so often sug-
gested. BE careful in putting in the
spring that the sudden cooling of one
side does not draw it out of shape. Ii
1t is put in slowly, it is warped by the
sudden cooling of one portion. When
fully tempered, polish the spring with
emery cloth until it is thoroughly clean
and bright. Saturate piece of paper
with oil, light it and allow the smoke
to collect on the spring until it is en-
tirely coated with the black Then heat
it over the forge fire very slowly. Do
not let one part burn off clean while
the other is still black, but let it dis

time if possible. The perfection of tenn

THE CHIN AS AN INDEX.
Can y.u FELL Persons Character by the
share OF His Lower jaw?


have read DR.. Leuf's letter on
"Physiognomy" in The Medical Conn
Gil and am prompted TO say, in reply to
his request for contributions on the
"chin:"
Protruding chins characterize men
and women of the set there type. Sue
cessful people usually carry their chins
thrust forward, with compressed lips.
This chin. if heavy, with bread ram
and swelling mussetus, indicates fight
ing blood.
A retreating chin shows lack of force,
mentally, morally and physically; usu-
ally Of the yielding sort; soon discour'
aged; desires protection; small exec
utive force. The development of other
faculties often makes up for this defect.
A small, well rounded chin, with
mobile and red cushion of flesh upon,
indicates a pleasure loving owner. II
dimpled, all the more so, for dimpled
chins belong TO coquettes. People with
dimples love to be petted and loved;
like admiration and praise. Generally
tickle. Usually this chin is healthy, re-
Cooperative and long lived.
Broad chins signify nobleness and
large dignity, unless vertically thin,
when, if with it there be thin lips OF
bloodless kind, you find cruelty.
Square chins with little flesh denote
firmness and executive ability. These
make good haters.
Drunkards usually have circular
line about their chins.
Stevens have wrinkles about their
chins.
Long, thin chins are poetical, unsta-
BILE and delicate in constitution. Such
people are subject to bowel derange-
ments. If thin through the angles of
the mouth, too, they are prone to tuber-
culosis. Generally short lived.
Medium chins with suggestive BIZ
furcation in the center, with small
mounds of flesh on either side, charac-
terize generosity, impulsiveness, CHEEKY
natures. (The same sized chins, with a
dab of flesh just under the center of the
lower lip, indicate meanness, selfishness,
brutality)
N. B.-No one feature can be taken
in Judging character. Often develop
ment of other faculties of mind or fea-
ture entirely governs. In each case take
the 'totality of indications" before
