What the Mouth Shows.

A certain philosopher declares that a
woman is known by her mouth, says the
London Outlook, not by the words that
issue therefrom, but by the shape and
c!ior of the lips and the lines and dim
pies that gather about this important
feature.
He is supported in his theory by physi-
ognomists, who all endeavor to impress
us with the fact that no woman with the
small, red-lipped, "Cupid-bow'' mouth,
so praised in song and story, was ever
intellectual or generous Of heart. He
says further that 1T is consoling to those
whose mouths are not in accordance
with the lines of beauty laid down by tho
poets to be told that wide, straight
mouth, with strong, white teeth denotes
the woman of superior intelligence, good
ness Of heart, strength of mind and n
thousand and one other sterling qualities
which we all like to thirk we possess
1t is the fashion at present for women
to hold their lips very slightly apart.
This is supposed to give that innocent.
wistful, wondering look which was the
peculiar property of the heroines of old
fashioned novels, but which bicycle rid
ing and the kindred modern amuselnents
have caused to vanish. 1t is difficult for
the thin-lipped, determined woman to
acquire this trick, but perseverance
works wonders.

Little Boys Troubles

Little Boys Troubles.
Before they had arithmetic,
Or telescopes. or chalk,
Or blackbOards, maps and copybooks-
When they could only talk:
Before Columbus came to show
The world geography.
What did they teach the little BOYS
Who went to school like me:
There wasn't any grammar then,
They couldn't read or spell,
For books were not invented yet
think twas just us we'll.
There were not any rows Of dates,
Or laws, or wars, or kings,
Or generals, or victories,
Or any of those things.
There couldn't be much to learn;
There wasn't much to know,
Twas nice to be boy
Ten thousand years ago.
For history had not begun,
The world was very new,
And In the schools l don't see what
The children had to do.
Now, always there is more to learn
How history does grow!
And every day they find new things
They think they ought to know.
And if it must go on like this
I'm glad l live today,
For boys ter thousand years from now
Will net have time to play.

successfully Resisted the Threat to
Denationnlize Highland Re e iments.
Lord Archibald Campbell, who has de-
signed reversible cloth for the kits of
the Highland regiments, with the tartan
on one side and Il plain neutral tint on
the other, has always been a great cham
pion of the Highland dress.
He Was one Of the many great Scot
fish noblemen who in 1881 met at Stat
ford house, and solemnly kissed the dirk
as a pledge of their determination to re-
Sist the war office threats to denationalize
the Highland regiments. In 1887, when
the Cameron Highlanders came home
from foreign service, the fight was re-
newed; and again in 1892, when the gal
liant Seventy-ninth were in jeopardy of
losing their tartans, Lord Archibald
Campbell and his party were on both Oc-
casions victorious.
Lady Archibald Campbell is also a
strong partisan of Scottish traditions
and their beautiful daughter, Miss Els
peth Campbell, wore tartan frocks every
day during the Oban meeting this year,
and is known as a most proficient player
on the national instrument, the bagpipes.

"A Straight Answer.

Judge Joseph Burlington Of the United
States district court heard arguments for
a new trial in a case some time ago, but
took his time to decide the case, says the
Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph The at
torneys became somewhat impatient and
one day one of them said to the judge:
Judge, are you going to give us new
trial in that case we argued some time
ago?'
THAT reminds me-" said the judge, "of
when was boy. There was a very in
quisitive man in our town, and he per-
sistently annoyed strangers who came to
town by trying to find out their business
One day stranger arrived, and, sure
enough, old Smith said: Say, stranger,
will you mind telling me what you are
doing in our town.
1.-The stranger looked at him and said
Can you keep a secret?'
Sure said Smith.
",'Well, so can H. said the stranger,
and walked away"
The attorney thought moment and
then said: well, that is the politest way
to tell ME to mind my own business that
ever heard"

III! be- so anxious to hear what Carrie
will say when she sees it,
CARRIES cheeks burned. She had never
felt so mean in all her life. She wished
| most sincerely that she had taken her
mothers advice and gone to play with
Hazel.
She began to see now into what straits
her curiosity might lead her. ?
| She heard the whole plan of the baby
house from roof to kitchen, for the bows
talked continuously while they worked
and she became very much interested in
the details, in spite of the guilty feeling
i'll her breast. But after time she be-
gan to grow sleepy and to feel very I'M
comfortable. She did not dare move,
however now, for fear of being heard, and
| she wished the boys would go downstai
and give her chance to get out.
But soon the sound of their voices
| seemed to grow fainter and, without be-
ing conscious of it, she slipped into the
land of dreams.
When she awoke the garnet was dark
and silent. She did not know at first
NIitlc Sllt " as Dut when she put out ner
hand and touched the box she remem-
hcred all about it, and began to think
that there might be spiders and mice un-
der the caves.
She CROPPED her way to the garnet door
and felt around until she got her hand
on the knob. Then she suddenly recol-
iccted what the boys had said about keep
She hesitatcd at first to knock for sic sic
knew how gricved her mother would be
to find her there, but the squeak of the
mouse clos" by frightened her, and she
began to pound OH the door with both
lists. and to scream at the top of her
voice.
1t seemed long. time before she heard
steps on the garnet stairs, and she was
sobbing bitterly when at last the door
was opened, and she fell into her moth
ers arms with a loud cry.
why, Carrie, how did you happen to
be locked up here, my child?" exclaimed
Mrs. Brooks. We thought you were at
Hazels and had stayed to tea there
James and Guy were just about to go
after you.'
Carrie hid her face on her mothers
breast and did not answer. >
you must have gone in before we did,
of course! said James, angriy. 's1ou
hid yourself on purpose to find out what
we were doing; you know you did,
Carrie kept her face hidden. Oh, how
she wished that she had kept away from
the garrett! 1t was so hard to be thought
a sneak and spy.
