OccunatIons Affect Faces.

"A mans occupation or condition has more to do with making his face than most people think, " observed gentleman who is somewhat judge of character "Intellectual pursuits, like the studies of the scholarly profession, when coupled with temperate and good moral habits of life brighten the face and give the person refined and su- perior look. Magnanimity of nature or the love of study and art will make a bright, glad face, but contrary to this man may have face that does not please anybody because of a love of self to the exclusion of others, notwith- standing his learning and worldly shrewdness. Soldiers get hard, severe look; reporters look inquisitive; mathe- maticians look studious; judges look grave, even when off the bench; the man who has had domestic trouble looks all broken up.
 "An example of the ludicrous side of this subject is to see third class law yer stalking around a police court look ing as wise as an owl The business makes the face, I say. There's the mer- chants face, the ministerial face, the lawyers face, the doctors face, the hoodlum's face, all so distinct each from the other and singly that l seldom fail to recognize those callings shining through the faces. And what city bred boy cannot recognize genuine farmer fba moment Ee seas him On the street 2' Washington Star.

Cross in Front of Engines.

"One of the oldest traits of animal nature," said an old-time Illinois Cen, tral engineer, ''is the desire of every living thing to cross in front of the locomotive. At first 1t filled me with wonder, and used to lie awake nights trying to explain it. Now it's grown to be an old story with me.
 What goes in front of the engine? Why, everything. Let me see! I've seen snakes-and I'm a sober man, mind yOu-stick up their heads to see what was making all the rumble along the right of way, and then deliberate ly start to crawl across the rails. I've seen many quail spring up along the right of way, fly along just ahead of the engine, and then shoot across in front. Several times when I've been running a mile minute the engine has struck these birds and killed them In the old days 1 used to jump a deer every now and then, and the chances were he'd cross the track every time Cattle invariably do it until they have learned better; so do pigs and all the domestic animals. Even chickens will run futtering across.
 Tt seems to me I've killed enough animals to stock a farm and menag erie"

His UncontaGiou. Laugh.

"Laugh and the world laughs with you.' How true that is," said MT. Hig- gleson. ''To have written just that line was worth living for"
 "Oh, I don't know about that" Mrs. Higgleson replied. "I admit that there is a good deal of philosophy in the poem from which those words are talk en, but it isn't always true"
 "AIy dear" Mir. Higgleson exclaimed, you are mistaken. It is always true. Laugh and the world laughs with you It's as true as anything that has ever been written. The whole philosophy of human existence Is bound up In those few words"
 "The whole philosophy of human ex- istence may be bound up in them" the lady responded, "but I insist that it doesn't always happen that way. I've noticed that you always laugh when you try to tell q funny story. but it's very seldom that the world laughs with you"
 NIT. HigglesOn drew himself up with all the dignity he could command and, striding angrily from the room, ex- claimed:

Fixed the Fire Anyhow.

'The worst kind of a fool in the world is a we'll meaning fool" said a detective sagely. "I was walking along one night in a neighborhood not neces- sary to specify, when up rushed a man in his shirt sleeves and grabbed me by the arm. Say, officer! he ex- claimed, calling me by name. I just saw a fellow do something that he ought to get ten years for at least. He was a big loafer in a checked suit, and 1 would know him again in China
 But what did he doY interrupted.
 "'Why, was sitting on my porch, replied the man in shirt sleeves, and saw him go up deliberately 10 that letter box on the corner and drop in a lighted cigar stump. Just think of the valuable mail the scoundrel might have destroyed"
 "'Are you sure the cigar was litY asked.
 "'Wen, I'm pretty sure,' he said, but you needn't to worry. He hasn't burned up anything
 "'How the dickens do you know he hasn't? said 1, surprised.
 "'Why, l got pitcher of water and poured it right in,' said he. l walked off. never did find out what those letters looked like when the carrier got around."-New Orleans Times Democrat.

Trials of m UuIettered Fishermau at
 an Examination for Drivers.
 They had an examination for drivers in the rooms of the civil service board in the Criminal Court building, and among the applicants was fisherman It was evident to the examiners that the fisherman was not practiced iD reading and writing. He came to the rooms with list of answers which he had been instructed to write opposite the printed questions on the blanks furnished to him. For six months at least he had practiced writing these an- swens. The questions were all OF printed blanks, and the person who had coached the fisherman had written the answers in the order of the questions on the old blanks. The civil service board got m some new blanks recently and the fisherman scrawled his an- swers i'll the order he had learned them. The result produced upon the first paper was as follows:

HARD HAUL ACROSS AFRICA.
John Thorburn's Novel and successfu

John Thorburn's Novel and Successful
 Journey in the Dark Continent.
 Sixteen hundred miles across the wilds of Africa, where the foot of civ. ilized man had never hitherto trod, il an experience that presents dangers and difficulties enough of its own te discourage almost any ordinary man But to haul steam craft that distance with the aid of two companions of his own race and a handful of ignorant natives without the ordinary resources of modern science is the feat accom- plished successfully by John Thorburn an African pioneer, who has recently arrived in London. This is only one o1 a series of notable accomplishments and experiences through which Thor burn has passed in his thirty years life in the wilds of Africa.
 Thorburn Is a ScOtchman by birth who emigrated to the Transvaal somt thirty years ago. He had steamer oI the Vaal River, and made considerable money trading with the natives. Ma ture, however, consipred against him and the Vaal, after successive dry sea sons, was completely dried up. Unde tered by the dangers of the undertak ing, Thorburn at once determined tt take the boat across country to tht waters of Delagoa Bay, a distance O. 1,600 miles.
 The boat was thirty-seven feet long but was loaded on a wagon drawn b., eighteen oxen. Its engines were dis posed of on q similar vehicle, and tht journey was begun. It led through | perfect wilderness, much of which hat never been trodden by man. Road; were cut through this and wagons drawn along as rapidly as possible Numerous mishaps failed to discourage the indomitable will of the Scotchman and after encountering forest fires which all but destroyed the little party and being deserted by all his native helpers, he successfully reached Della goa Bay with his charge.
 In the Transvaal ThOrburn was intt mately associated with two noted characters. One was John O'Reilly who was responsible for the discovery of the diamond mines of South Africa and the other was Hans de Beers, whc owned two of the most famous mines of South Africa, the De Beers and the Kimberley. O'Reilly's discovery was due to the accidental play of a little girl with bright river stone. He pur chased the stone from the girls par entS, saying he thought he could seE 1t for a good price, and would return her One-half of the proceeds. This ht did, realizing $2,5O0 on the sale. Hal1 he returned to her, the rest he used te purchase ground in South Africa ir which to exploit his find.
 De Beers sold his diamond interes for an insignificant sum. He knew of the immense value of the ground, but did not wish to be bothered with the wealth, only taking enough to keeI him for the remainder of his days ir quiet and Obscurity. He died eventu ally in Thorburn's own cottage.

REGENT INVENTIONS.

Broken rudders on ships at sea car be replaced by Canadians tempora ry steering device, which congresses set of brackets shaped to fit portions of the hull, with guy ropes for holding them In position, the rudder frame be ing carried by the brackets.
 To insure the retention of a waIs belt at the top of the trousers a new attachment Is formed of wire loops secured to the under surface of the belt, with an obstructed opening at one end of the loop which can be slipped over the buttons on the bands of the trousers.
 Fore and aft sails on boats can be rapidly reefed by a Boston mans in vention, in which the boom Is fitted in a socket on the mast and provided with a gear wheel, meshing with 8 wheel attached to a crank shaft, the action of turning the crank winding up the sail on the boom.
 Train orders can be delivered to the engineer while the train is under high speed by the use of a new Order-hold ing device, which has a wire loop with a clamp on one side to grip the mes sage, a socket being provided to hold the loop in position, to be easily de tached by the engineer.
 A Canadian has patented a bulletin board which does away with the neces sity for pasting the dispatches, the surface of the board being covered with a series of wires fitted on 6 frame at the sides, the dispatch being held on the board by drawing the frame back to stretch the wires 1T place.

Making Child Too Quiet.

Play is the proper and natural outlet for childs thoughts. To restrain his motion Is to drive back his living fancy into the recesses of his mind. and this results in his confusion and unhappi- ness. Some children who are forced to be still and passive when they are longing for action find relief in whis- pering over stories to themselves, but 1t is an unSatisfac tory substitute for dramatic action. And it is also moral Iy injurious. for the necessity of con- cealing ones ideas destroys after awhile the ability for fluent expres- sion and brings about timidity and dis trust of our Florence Hull Winterburn in Woman's Home Com panion.

A Novel Drink.

The agony of thirst Is often expert. enced by travellers in the sand-belts o, South Africa. Dr. Schulz, in "The New Africa" tells of strange device tt wAich his bearers and guides resorteG one night, when the pangs of thirst be- came uncomfortable.
 We had no water that night, and the boys got so thirsty that some of them went off to search the nigbborhood. carrying flrebrands as a protection against possible lions. A shout in the distance Induced us to walk over to where they were. There we were sur prised to find two boys squatting on the ground holding the legs of one of their companions, wlo had gone down head first into an ant bear hole in search of water.
 By and by he gave a signal and was hauled up. but what was our astonish- ment to find, when he was pulled out, that he had hold of the legs of another boy, who in his turn brought up cala- bash full of wet mud that he had dug up at the bottom of the ant-bear pit
 This moist earth was duly shared by the crowd, who filed their mouths and sucked such fluid out of the stuff, as 1t contained, and then spat out the re maining sand.
 While the first lot were enjoying the moisture thus obtained another cycle of boys took up the job, and so the night was spent by them In getting up the mud with which to wet their parch- ed throats.
 As for ourselves, we could not touch it; 1t was accompanied by a fearful smell of decaying material like sulphur eted hydrogen, which we could not stomach.
