When you see man grip a cigar be-
tween his teeth and hold It fast, care
less of whether it burns or not, you
can set him down as an aggressive,
calculating, and exacting, not to say
canny, Individual.
If man smokes cigar deliberate
ly just enough to keep it lighted, and
delights in taking 1t from his mouth
and watch the blue smoke from 1t curl
upward, he is likely to be an easy-go-
ing man, good-natured, and honest.
There is another fellow who smokes
Internationally, takes puff and then
rests, and fumbles his cigar. He is apt
to have little decision of character,
and to be easily affected by circum-
stances. A man may be nervous and
tumble his cigar good bit, and in this
event he is n would-be swell, vain, and
frivolous
He invariably tits his cigar upward,
while sensible, level-headed fellow
will hold 1t stranght out from the
mouth. When you see man chew
ing up an unliglted cigar. and twisting
it about. he is nervous, but of great
tenacity.
a man who cannot keep his cigar
alght has whole-souled disposition.
He has lively nature, is n hail-fellow-
well-met, glib of tongue, and usually q
good story teller.
Russian Courtship.
One of the national eccentricities in
the Ukraim Russia is that the maiden
is the one that does all the counting.
When she falls in love with a man she
goes to his house and tells him the
state of her feelings. If he reciprocates
all is well, and Il formal marriage is
duly arranged. If, however, he is un.
willing, she remains there hoping to
coax him into better mind. The poor
fellow cannot treat her with the least
discourtesy or turn her out, for her
friends would be sure to avenge the
insult. His best chance, therefore. IL
he is really determined that he will not
marry her, is to leave his home and stay
away as long as she is in 1t. This ia
certainly II peculiar way of turning n
man out Of house and home.

the coherer made known the success Of
the experiment
The receiving station was then moved to
machinery hall, n distance of 200 feet. The
doors and windows of both buildings were
closed and here it was seen that walls
were no barrier to these magnetic waves.
Whether the waves penetrate or go around

the coherer was removed to the various

equal to the first days trial.
