The Country Clergymen,

NH nHH
An old Clergyman. who had held q
cure in the depths Of the country for
the greater part of his life had occasion
to consult his bishop on q certain mat
ter, and, in answer to bis letter, re-
ceived an invitation to sleep the night
at the palace. For 40 or 50years he bad
practically led the life Of a recluse, and
It was after many o%ogitations that he,
decided to take the journey to the other
end Of the diocese. where the bishop
lived. He arrived just in time for s
O'Clock tea, a meal to which he was q
complete stranger. .
After tea the bishop asked him to ao.
company him to evensong. When they
returned to the house, the bishop, re-
marking that it was quite time they
went up stairs, lit a candle and showed
his guest to his room. It was then just
2 O'Clock, and, though the old clergy
man thought it was rather early to re-
tire, still, admiring the bishop for snoh
simple habits, he prepared for bed. He
had just put out the light and lain
down to sleep, wishing he had drunk a
little more tea, when Q booming noise
rang through the house and smote upon
his ear.
Quick as Thought he sprangr from his
bed and, shouting "Firei" at the top Of
his voice, rushed ont on to the landing
just in time. to meet the bishop, with q
lady on his arm, going down to dinner.
The sequel to the story has never been
divulged.-Cornhill Magazine.

HONOR ABOVE COED.

Ar Incident which Illustrates the
French Character.
Speaking Of French politics. I heard
q most extraordinary story Of another
strange secret Of contemporary life.
Some years ago one might see in a res.
taurant at night, playing dominos
quietly or oonversing In tranquil tones,
. gentleman named Levy. He wal q
man who knew more of the secret his
tory Of the courts of Europe than any
man Of his time. To get a full account
of his personality and history you, must.
spend an evening with Joe Lyons, the
owner Of the Trocadero and a score Of
other restaurants, n Of the most brill
liant %raconteurs az we'll as one Of the
best fellows In all London. Mr.. Levy
was a private detective, employed when.
eve a task of extreme deljcacy and
enormous Importance was on hand. He
was retained by the Bank Of England,
among other. institutions, and have
heard that bis services were esteemed
80 valuable that he got the; magnificent
salary Of 10000 a year from that In.
stitutiop.
Well, just after the downfall Of the
commune Mr.. Levy was intrusted with
M Of the most delicate and, I might
say, terrible missions in his life. There
were several communist refugees In
London. Levy tracked them. ont. a
man Of the world, without en~thusiasms,:
acquainted With all. the eeamy side Of
life and Of man, he Yet bad atbroad,

astounded by the picture he found in
the miserable den-if I remember right
" 1t was q stable-in which he discov-
cred tho objects Of his search. These
men, who but q few weeks before had
the government and the revenues Of the
great city Of Paris at their command,
were engaged In making a wretched
bowl Of soup, which was to be the
meal-and the one meal Of them all

were at their meroyl "These men may

Asg00d many people seem to think
that there is q difficulty in finding . sly
person before the mischief he does dis
closes his character. As q matter Of fact
II is absurdly easy. You have only to
watch him for ten minutes and he will
give himself away.
The ely person 10 always trying to
see something without being supposed
TO see il. When that something 10 ont
side his visual field, be has to move his
eyes instead of his head. Any mans
eyes therefore that you see very much
drawn to n side, say twice in five
minutes. is sly, and you would do we'll
to mistrust him.
The old trick Of making . man you
suspect look you straight in the eyes,
while you glare into his has more In It
than people. think. Any ordinary per-
son bent on deception will ten to one
find his optics finch under the ordeal.
But the accomplished liar and swim
dler has by long practice taught him.
self to Withstand the test. and for him
an additional n ia advisable. The
most delicate portion Of the face after
the eyes are the lips, and any man or
woman whose lips, when they are be.
ing brought to book, don't twitoh visi-
bly,. ia .'saoting on the square,"
Determination, n would think, is
an easy thing to discern in a man, but
as a matter Of fact 1t isn't, especially
it be talks loudly and has a good deal
to say.
AS a rule, most people are deceived
by the appearance of determination
which O man, when he is "bluf1ng,"
puts on to carry his point. In these
matters 1t is the involuntary things
that tell, and directly a man is thor
oughiy determined he is resigned as to
what will probably happen. There, il
you will watch closely, you will see his
shoulders suddenly become arched (not
in a ehrug), and when he says he
doesn't care he means it.
A difficulty that most face readers
experience is that of discriminating be.
tween surprise and the action Of the
grief muscles, jnasmuoh as both cause
the eyebrows to be elevated slightly.
But the fact that surprise always makes

they are threading a needle, should
help them. The brow, too, is full Of
difficulties, for it may be beetled either
from intellectual effort OF melancholy.
Probably in the first case, however, the
eyes will be not quite wide open.
Then. laughter should be received
with suspicion, for a person will often
laugh hilariously after coming through
an ordeal that has left him heavy Of
heart, and a fresh, spontaneous smile is
mere surely indicative of happiness.
Perhaps, however, the most difficult
thing to detect in a person Of strong
yelf control is fear or violent agitation.
A man Of pluck and healthy nerveswill
}etray his excitement only by the back
Of his neck, which gets crimson, and to
nee this one has to look behind him.
