Cabs Not Admitted.

Americans visiting London for the
first time are more than likely to hail
q hanson the day they arrive and start
promptly to see the row. Half the
books, stOries newspaper articles, ETC.,
treating Of English life make promi-
nent mention of this the smartest
driveway in the world. London So
ciety circles largely about Hyde park,
and naturally enough tourists regard
it as a good starting place from which
to study British manners and peoples.
Imagine, then, the Indignation and
the disgust of a pair of pretty girls, ac-
custOmed to traverse home drives in
any fashion they like, warned back
from Hyde park entrance by q
six foot arm of the law. No tips, no
remonstrance, no pleading, has the
slightest effect upon the stern bobby"
who simply orders cabby to depart
and tells his fares to get more cor
rect equipage if they desire to take
part in the row parade.
1t is livery or nothing, and if the
visitor continues to long for a glimpse
of the Hyde park show she must have
boots and breeches to drive her, there
by having at least the semblance of 2
private establishment. No admittance
is the standing rule for the ostensible
cab.-Boston Globe.

Character In the Hair.

If your hair is fine, it denotes gentle
birth. If the ends cling together, it is
a sign Of great intellectuality,r and a
tendency to curl shows inherent grace
and poetic nature.
These are some of the things set
forth by the science of hair reading,
yet undeveloped, but likely to "give us
away" in manner often more accu-
rate than pleasing.
This science tells us, too, that the
person with straight hair has a firm,
positive and practical disposition. Col
or shows the temperament For in
stance, it is we'll to watch out for the
person with black, lusterless hair. He's
apt to be treacherous and jealous. The
lighter the hair the more sensitive and
''touchy" it's owner. Brown hair be-
longs to him who has common sense,
good judgment and reason in high de-
gree, which would indicate that hui
mainly isn't even half bad. Red hair
shows honesty and cleverness.

Old Maryland Superstitions.

Witch Killing.-If horses are so bad
~ beWitched that one dies, the follow
ing will deprive the witch of her pow
er: Take the dead horse out into a
field and burn the carcass beside a
tree. First cut a cross in the tree,
then drive a nail in at the cross Now
take your rifle, which must be loaded
with silver bullet, choose a position
SO that the fire is between you and the
tree, and shoot over the fire at the nail
when you hit the nail, the witch will
lose her power, and you cannot miss
with the silver bullet.
To Sell Oneself to the Devil-Go to
the crossroads at midnight alone and
play on the banjo. If you really want
to sell yourself two black dogs will
appear and will dance as you play
Then you promise something fearful
Any one who thus sold himself was
said to be able to outplay and Guidance
any competitors.
Method For Girl to Try Her For
tune.-Put an egg to the fire and sit an
hour. The wind will howl and the
dogs bark, and the man you are to
marry will come in and turn the egg
around. If the egg bursts, you will die
(or possibly, my informant adds. you
will never marry).-Baltimore Sun.

A TobaccoIess Tobacco, Heart,

"You have" said a physician, ''the
tobacco heart" The patient made an
swer, Doctor, meyer smoked but
once, and that was when was boy"
This happened in Germantown. Both
men laughed, and the physician pre-
pared to examine the patient again, so
as to make another diagnosis.
After a half hour Of hard work the
tobacco heart still seemed to resemble
the mans disease, ana the physician
said, What do you do for Hvfng?"
The man replied, Il am a tobacconist"
We'll, then, of course, you've got the
tobacco heart, whether you're smok-
er or not" said the physician. "All
day long you breathe in tobacco. The
dust of it fills your lungs, circulates
with your blood all over your body and
is d1gested with your food. have had
number Of cases such as yours, and
prescribe eight hours a day in the
fresh air. You'll find it hard to follow
this prescription. Away from the to-
bacco laden air of your shop you will
have the uneasy, restless longing to
get back to it which the smoker, after
a few hours of abstinence, has for
cigar. That is strange, but you'll find
1t true. You have unconsciously ac-
quired the tobacco breathing habit,
and it's a habit harder, l believe, to
break than the smoking habit ITSELF

"Tnat man will not live to be DID,

er, indicating a man who was standing
near
"Why. pray?" the writer queried
wonderingly.
"Well, he has not a single physio-
logical index of long life. His head is
narrow; he has narrow eyes and nos
trils and long. delicate hand, all Of
which augur i'll for length Of days.
eff you observe carefully. you will
find that, with rare exceptions, which
only serve to emphasize the rule, men
who live to be old have wide heads
above the ears and wide foreheads.
Large and wide nostrils are always
evidence that those two important or
gans, the lungs and the heart, are good.
The ears in old men are almost invari-
ably placed low. Again. long lived
people usually have broad and short
hands-inelegant, it may be. but still
an indication of long life.

1t Doesn't Pay to BE Too Sure Until

A certain Major Brownjones, who
made it his boast that he never allowed
American or colonial meat to be served
at his table, recently visited an old
comrade in Liverpool. One night at
dinner a most delicious saddle Of zap
parently) Welsh mutton appeared, to
which the major did ample justice.
'Ah," he observed, Il wish that my
butcher in London would send me stuff
like that, and yet he deals only in the
best British meat
E'Well," said his friend, "as matter
of fact you have been eating New Yea
land mutton. But it's only fair to say
that get it from friend who is a
large wholesale importer"

said the host The visit was duly paid
to the meat monger, who smiled when
he heard the Londoner's eulogy and
explanation.
F'Tell me-" he returned after listening
to the epicure's remarks, Tin what part
of London you reside, and l dare say l
can give you the address Of retail
butcher who will supply you with ex
actly the same sort of mutton as that
which you like so much" The major
handed him his card.
''Ah," observed the importer, there's
the very man within two streets Of
your house. We supply him with all
his meat. Here's his address," he add
ed, handing a slip of paper to the seek

Varying Effects of Accidents.

"YearS ago." said q Maine man, 81
was standing beside a gun at a state
muster at Augusta when a salute to
the governor, who had just come on
the field, was being fired. The cannon
used was of the old fashioned kind
and it was pfematurely discharged,
with the result that the index finger Of
the right hand Of the man ramming
the load home was blown off. The
shock, together with the Judgment Of
flying particles of powder, had the eff
feet of driving the blood back from the
wound, during which fragment of time
the injured man calmly examined his
mangled hand, but when the blood did
come back it came with a rush and
fairly dubbed out in a torrent. The
mans calmness left him as if by magic
at the sight Of the blood, and, with a
loud scream, he keeled over in a dead
faint.
''They used to tell story Of two men
who were working on opposite sides of
q buZzSaw. The attention of one be-
coming momentarily distracted he ran
his finger against the saw, and the
severed piece dropped on the other
side, where his partner was working.
That worthy picked it up and, with the
casual remark, Bill, you've dropped
something,' handed it back to it's own
er. Bill didn't faint but it is only ow-
ing to the superior burst Of speed de-
Eeloped by his partner that he is not
doing time for homicide. New York

The Bottle at Ship Launches.

Down to Charles lis time it was GUS
tOmary to name and baptiZe a ship aft
er she was launched, sometimes week
or two after The old Tudor method
used for men-of-war was still in use.
Pepys' ''Diary" shows that. The ship
was safely got afoat, after which some
high parsonage went on board with q
special silver standing cup" or flag
gon" Of wine, out of which he drank,
naming the ship and pouring libation
an the quarter deck. The cup was then
generally given to the dockyard ship
wright as a mementO.
When did the present usage Of nam
ing and baptizing ship before she is
sent afloat come in? l trace the last
explicit mention of the old method to
1864, when the Royal Katherine was
launched (see Pepys). The first men
ton of smashing a bottle of wine on
the bows of an English man-of-war
that I have found is in a contemporary
newspaper cutting Of May, 1870, de-
scribing the christening Of II. M. S.

limited that it was then new custom.

never was any reason why the Spanish
