Linked Eyebrows.

1t is popularity believed that if ones
eyebrows meet it indicates deceit.
Charles Kingsley indorses this belief,
but Tennyson has other ideas and poet
ically speaks of married brows.
In Turkey meeting eyebrows are
greatly admired, and the women use
artificial means to bring the brows to
this condition, and if art cannot induce
thin eyebrows to grow they make up
by drawing black line with paste.
1t would appear that the Greeks adj
mired brows which almost met, and
the fashionable inhabitants of Rome
not only approved Of them, but resorted
to pigments to make up the lack which
sometimes existed
Some proverbs state that the person
whose eyebrows meet will always have
good luck, while others state exactly
the reverse. The Chinese say that
''people whose eyebrows meet can never
hope to attain to the dignity of a min
lister of state, and in Greece of today
the man whose brows meet is said to be
a vampire, while in Denmark and Ger
many it is said he is werewolf

The Boy and the Hare.

A pleasant story of the Duke of Dew
onshire comes from Chatsworth. He
was strolling, gun in hand, through one
of his own fields near Baslow when he
started hare, which he shot and was
going to pick it up when small boy
jumped out of a neighboring hedge and
warned him off. ''Here, meester, /" cried
the small boy peremptorily, "yo' must
nae touch that.
"Why not?" asked the duke, amused,
seeing that he was not recognized.
"Why, it's tn dukes" answered the
boy, IAN he'll have you locked up If he
knows"
"Ohp' said his grace. 'Then will
you take charge of itf
"Aye, that I will, " answered the boy
promptly. "Me fayther's a keeper"
Half an hour afterward the boy and
the hare arrived in the kitchen at Chats
worth. The duke had taken a short cut
home and had the boy brought to him.
The little chap was dumb with terror
when he learned what a mistake he had
made, but the duke gave him a shil-
ling piece, called him "a good lad and
sent him away rejoicing.

The old obstacles that used to prevent
the marriage of loving couples are out of
date. The blood -and-thundeT william is

How Japanese Woo.

Japan is a long way off, and this
charming story of how courtships are
carried on among the elite Of their So
ciety comes to us from this faraway
land. In certain districts, in houses
wherein resides a daughter of marriage
able age, an empty fowerpot is enoir-
cled by a string and suspended from
window or the veranda. Instead of sere-
nades by moonlight and other delicate
ways of making an impression, it is
etiquette for the Japanese lover to ap-
proach the dwelling of his sweetheart
bearing some choice plant in his hand,
which he reverently proceeds to plant
in the empty vase. This takes place
when he is fully aware that mother and
daughter are at home.
This act of placing plant in the
howerpot is equivalent to a formal
proposal to the lady of his choice. The
lover, having settled the plant to his
mind, retires, and the lady is free to
act as she pleases. If he is the right
man, she takes every care of his gift,
waters it and tends it carefully with
her own hands, that all may see that
the donor is accepted as a sutton. But
if he is not the favorite, or if the stern
parents object, the poor plant is torn
from the vase and the next morning lies
limp and withered on the veranda or in
the path below

The Larynx.

The larynx has been compared to a
wind, reed and stringed instrument.
The comparison of it to a violin gave
rise to the not very accurate phrase
"vocal cords, as the name of the two
cushions which are its most prominent
features. But no string so short as those
''vocal cords could produce musical
bass note. In fact, the comparison Of
the larynx to any instrument which
produces only musical tones is made
quate, to begin with. There is no in
strument but the larynx which pro-
duces both song and speech, and as
those comparisons view the larynx
merely as producer of musical sounds
we have no further concern with them
at present. Besides, the voice can be
trained for speech, elocution and ora
tory without knowledge of the physi-
ology of the larynx.
We have the power of adjusting the
larynx; of varying the tension Of its
cords, cushions or igaments, as they
have been variously called We can do
these things without scientific technic-
al knowledge of how they are done,
without any knowledge at all of vocal
physiology, and it is the work of the
trainer of the voice to teach his pupils
or her pupils we may be allowed to
say-how to do them. = Chambers

The late Henry Reeve, G. B., D. G..

London Times and until his death edi-
tor of the Edinburgh Review, has mar
rated much amusing gossip of the celeb
rites of his acquaintance in his
memoirs and Correspondence The
book contains one great rarity-a new
story of Sydney Smith.
Mr.. Reeve was dining one night at a
house where the other distinguished
guests included Macaulay and Sydney
Smith. Macaulay was at that time lay
ing society waste with his waterspouts
of talk. People in his company were al
ways bursting for want of an opportu-
nifty Of dropping word, and this was
not an exceptional occasion.
At length, dinner being over, Sydney
Smith, Reeve and few others went
away by themselves, and Immediately
got on the overpowering subject of
Macaulay.
HE confounds soliloquy and col
loquy," said Reeve
HE is a book in breeches," Smith
declared

SCOTCH SIMPLICITY.
The Mason, the Buddfng Architect
and a CoDscieuce stricken Lad.

The Mason, the Budding Architect
and n Conscience stricken Lad.
The Scotch are sond of telling stories
which illustrate the peculiar simplicity
of mind of their country people. This
simplicity at least saves them from
wicked guile.
One of these stories relates that an
honest mason once had contract to
build a small house of stone He came
early and began from the inside to lay
the stone, working very fast At noon
his young son brought him his dinner,
peeping over the wall as he handed the
basket to his father. With honest pride
in his eye, the mason looked over to the
boy.
"Weel, Jock, hoo dye think I'm
gettin on2" he asked.
"Ye're getting on famous, feyther, 4"
answered Jock, looking at the solid
wall, in which there was no break
''But hoo dye get cot p
The mason looked around. It was
true. He had provided the house with
no door at all, and he was on the inside.
He looked kindly and very admlrlngly
at the boy.
"Mon, Jock, ye've grand held on
YEP he exclaimed. "Ye'll be an archi-
tect yet, as sure as yer feyther's a ma
sonl'
Another story shows how unsuccess-
full as thief the rustic Scot may be.
Two young plowmen went into gar
den at night to steal gooseberries. The
bushes surrounded a plot of potatoes,
and as one of the lads CROPPED about he
got a handful of potato plums, which
he quickly put into his mouth. Then he
gasped to his comrade:
ooh, Jock, I'm poisonedl For ony
sake, shove me through the hedge again,

and this apple in the other and read
and read and munched and munched
till the sound struck the doctor He
espied the delinquent and ordered him
to bring that apple to him. He put it
on his desk, coram populo, and then,
half relenting, said: "There, sir. Now,
if you want that again you had better
go and sit down and make me a short

Government experts say that man
can be well fed for 80 cents day
This. however, means feeding men in
mass There is man in Philadelphia,
however, who laughs at this lavish ex-
penditure, inasmuch as his bill Of fare
for the entire week only costs that
amount. Twenty years ago he made up
his mind that Americans ate too much
His staple meal is in the middle of the
day, and it always consists of soup
good, rich soup-and baked potato.
Some days instead of the baked potato
he has what southerners call cowpeas,
which are extremely cheap and whole
some They cost 8 cents pound and
swell very much in cooking. He cooks
them with a bit of salt pork Rice is
also one of his staple foods and occa-
sionally a little milk He buys two
loaves of stale bread week, which cost
az cents loaf. These are always
toasted
Cabbage is another article of diet,
cheap and of great value. He has an
arrangement with his grocer by which
he buys the scraps of cheese left over
from the large cuttings at 2 cents for q
days scraps. He is in sound health and
has not had indigestion for 20 years. -

English Penny Novels.

Penny NOVELTIES differ from one an
other in externals rather than in in
ternals. The get up of the better sort is
neat and attractive. The type is clear,
and the covers might even be called
artistic" in the catholic sense of the
term. The inferior kinds are indiffer-
emily printed ''on gray paper with blunt
type, and there are many degrees of
excellence between the two extremes
All except one have illustrations rang
ing from the rudest of woodcuts to the
smudgiest of process" plates Of
course the artist selects the most sensa-
tional incidents for his pencil to adorn.
The stabbing of the heroine's father by
the villain disguised as the hero, the
kidnapping of the heroine by Black
Tom and his gang of gypsies at the in
