MINISTER WI TO THE WOMEN.
spouse to a Toast for "The
Ladies'"

The wise and facetious Minister WI
Tng-Fang made his appearance in a
new role the other evening at large
gathering where both ladies and gem
tlemen were present, where he was the
most conspicuous guest. He was asked
to say few words to the ladies, in re-
Spouse to a toast to them. He said:
when | see so many finely built wom-
en- confronting me, and l am called
upon to be the gallant of the mo-
ment, what can l say but that l wish
for that moment only were not
Chinaman-I should like to be an
American as l stand here, so that
each one of you would appear as beau
tiful to me as you actually must be
when seen through your countrymen's
eyes. Alas! the slight difference in the
formation of my orbs cannot do justice
to the impression you make upon me,
individually and jointly and severally.
But there are some well-nourished fig
ures and forms amongst you that real
ly appear to be is fine a S the best that
my own fertile country has produced.
And your intelligence and souls, am
told, which are hidden under your in
tricate fashionable apparel, are more
beautiful even than your forms. May
you all feel the depth and sincerity of
my admiration, and may your youth
full looks and honorable years always
walk hand in hand"

SOME GOOD SIGNS.
Index to the Character of
People.

Teeth that are long and not narrow
denote large, liberal views, strong pas
sions, and heroic virtues. If they are
long and narrow, a weak character is
denoted. Long noses are cautious and
prudent; short ones impulsive; and
tip-tilted ones hopeful, impulsive and
joyous. Deep-colored eyes, with we'll
arched lids, both upper and lower, show
a truthful and affectionate nature. An
eyebrow slightly curling at the outer
edge indicates jealous nature.
If the apex of the ear lies close to
the head the owner possesses a refined
nature. But if the top starts away
from the head at a well-defned angle
that person has an uneven disposition,
and is not to be relied upon.
If a girls thumb lies fiat or droops
a little, marital submission to the mas
ter mind is indicated. II the thumb has
tendency to stand at right angles to
the hand, the damsel owning it is head
strong.
A strong character has a strong,
erect thumb. Fingers which bend back
ward mean powerful determination.
If they are round, strength, both phys
ical and mental, is indicated.

SYDNEY AN ORANGE MART.
Citrous Fruits Grow as PlentlfuIiy
in Parramntta as Apples
i'm Kent.

Australia has one of the most suit
able orange growing districts of the
world. What apple culture is in Eng
land that of the orange is in New
South Wales, the Parramatta district,
near Sydney, being to Australia what
Kent. with its countless luXuriant
orchards, is to the United Kingdom.
The scenery of the ParrSmatta river
is not unlike that of the Thames
above Richmond, only more romantic
and beautiful, especially during
springtime, when the wonderful pro-
fusion of wild flowers imparts an adj
ditional charm to the picture. Even
the masses of rock, which in many
places rise boldly from the edges of
the stream, are decked with bright
colored clusters of Australian native
flowers of the most lovely and varied
description.
The trees also claim a large share
of admiration not only from the lover
of the beautiful in nature, but also
from the utilitarian, for they include
the orange, with its bright green fol-
age and dainty white flowers or rich
golden fruit both seen on the tree
at one and the same time. The orange
is not only picturesque adjunct to
the garden, but also more than re-
paws the trouble and cost of cultlva-
ton. In the Parramatta district rich
and luscious oranges are as plentiful
as blackberries in an English country
lane during the autumn time.

AS GOOD AS A SEA SERPENT.
Large MeteOrite Falls at n Seaside
Summer Resort and Relieves
the MOnOtOny.

The sea serpent has failed to put in
his annual appearance at the coast re-
sorts this summer, but substitute
has been found, says an eastern ex-
change. Atlantic City was startled the
other day when an unusually loud
clap of thunder, accompanied by a
binding flash of lightning and slight
trembling of the earth, occurred
shortly after four o'clock. At first it
was thought that the bolt had struck
a large building, but this was found to
be incorrect.
Later it was learned that a large
meteorite weighing nearly three tons
had fallen upon Chelsea Heights, al
most a mile north of Columbia avenue
and across the Beach thoroughfare.
1t had fallen upon a piece of was -
land and had buried itself to a depth
of nearly ten feet in the soil. The
shape of the mass of mineral matter
from space is somewhat irregular
though resembling to slight degree
an egg flattened upon one side, with
a corresponding protuberance upon
the other. It's color is a blackish gray,
streaked with bright scintillating
lines, which run irregularly across the
upper portion. The presence of sui
phur was observed from the smell
which permeated the air for several
feet around it.
All day long crowds went over to
gaze upon this strange visitor from
other worlds. It is said that local
scientist has communicated with the
Smithsonian institution in Washing
ton as to what shall be done with the
meteOrite.

VENICE ON THE MAINE COAST.
by the Millionaire Yachtsman,
"Independence Lawson"

Thomas w. Lawson, yachtsman, cop
per king, multimillionaire, horse
breeder, dog fancier and gas agitator,
is going to build miniature Venice on
the rugged coast of Maine, reports a
Boston correspondent of the Philadel-
phia North American.
He has bought two islands off Ston-
ington on Deer islcN and has an option
on 10 others, which he will pay for
when the titles are proved to his sat-
isfaction. These islands are situated
In Isle Au Taut bay, and are about 10
miles from the mainland.
His plans contemplate the building
of the most remarkable summer resort
in the United States. The islands are
all close together and many of them
can be connected with bridges. On
Saddle Back, the largest of the group,
about 40 acres in extent, Mr.. Lawson
will erect magnificent palace for HIM
self.
The whole matter will be placed in
the hands of landscape artist, who
will furnish plans which will trans
form the islands into a "Venice in
America" The smaller islands will be
cleared of everything unsightly, but
everything which shows the rugged
beauty of the group will be left I'M
touched
On some of the larger islands there
will be Conservatives and uncovered
vestibules. Miniature parks will be
filed with deer, bears, gray squirrels,
cartridges and every game animal that
lives in Maine. The whole cost of the
project will be above $1,O0O,O00.

CARVE NAMES ON TERRAPIN.
One of These SlOw-GOlng Animals
Serves MissOurians ms u Sort of
Autograph Album.

Southwestern Missouri has a terra
pin which has been utilized for 20
years as an autograph album by those
citizens across whose path it CHANGED
TO creep. 1t Is also concluded by late
investigators that this slow-going
animal with the protected back is
given to revisiting the same places at
stated intervals of several years. That
these animals survive for an indie
finite period and sometimes revisit
their former haunts is equally w'rl
established by curious find made by
Sheriff L. Copeland, of Marles county,
near Vienna. The sheriff CHANGED to
pick up a small land terrapin or land
tortoise, such as are common in the
Ozark country, by the roadside. On
examination the animal proved to be
living, walking autograph album,
bearing the monographs of a number
of prominent citizens of Maries coun-
ty and dating back over 20 years.
The shell was covered with initials
carved with knife. Among them
were: "W. R. E." William Ellis, of
Rolla, Mo-, 1881; "B. H."-Bill Hoops,
1883. a we'll known citizen, now dead;
81. P. Al. P. Anderson, 1897; u.
p. B."-John Babe, 1897, ex-county
official. Other initials were those OF
T. ]. Ellis and ]. T. Hoops and one
"P. o." whose owner is unknown.
Some of the monograms were well
worn and barely legfble. Sheriff
Copeland inscribed his name with the
rest and started the terrapin out on
another journey.

BULLDOGS CORK LEG.
Denver Canine OF High Repute IL
Measured for an Artificial
Member.

"Jim," the pet of the Union depot,
is to have a new leg, reports the Den
YER Republican. For the past year
Jim, brindle, part bull and the rest
plain dog, has hobbled around the
baggage room at the Union depot
on three legs. All he has left of the
fourth is a stump. Jim was sleeping
on the railroad track about a year
ago, and before he could get out of
the way a passing train ran over his
leg. The men at the depot now think
Jim should have new leg.
The manner in which the injured
member healed makes it hard for the
dog to wear an artificial leg. FIRE.
quent trips have been made to a
veterinary. 1t has been decided to
have an operation, so that the leg
may properly heal. Jim is then to be
measured for a cork leg-best leg
that money can buy.
Though Jim has few tricks, he is
a dog of extraordinary intelligence.
He is the friend of every man in the
depot. His headquarters are in the
mailroom of the depot. Every truck
which is rolled to the incoming and
outgoing trains finds Jim perched
upon it. His chief duty is to guard
loose sacks, which are sometimes left
on the platform, and to look after
the mailroom when the clerks are
away. No one dares to enter the
room while he is on guard. An at
tempt to go near mail truck while
proper guardians are away rouses his
anger and his voice. Some time ago
he drifted into the depot and took
up quarters in the mailroom. He has
been there ever since.

NO BEGGARS IN LOMBARDY.
The Northern Province Of Italy Is
Fruitful and Has No Mem
dicants.

To the tourist through Italy the con-
trast between the north and south
provinces in the matter of beggary
along the streets and highways has
often been remarked. There is little
or no begging in northern Italy, as
there is in Naples. In the southern
part of the peninsula the people are
mixed with the scum of the levant. In
the north the country is agriculturally
rich and there are no crop failures.
The irrigation system is so good and
the water from the mountains so
plentiful that the plains of Lombardy
are delight to the eye. The people
are a business people, serious, self
contained and self-respecting. The
south lives off what the tourists spend,
the north lives on their business.
The average tourist stays in Naples,
including Pompeii, Vesuvius, Sorrento,
Amalfi ten days; Rome two weeks,
Florence five or seven days, Venice
four, Genoa one and Milan one or
three. Tourists generally do not see
Turin, and Milan and Turin gave me
distinct pleasure. The big opera
house of Milan, known as La Scala, has
been very little used of late years. It
belongs to the past. Regulations were
made there formerly, but not now.

A PARCHED MOUTH.
An InfaIlibIe Sign That VIII Betray
an Anxious or Worried
Condition.

It is not alone the hot weather or
hard work that makes your mouth
dry; anxiety, serious trouble gener-
ally. will parch your mouth and
throat more quickly and effectively
than anything else.
There are persons who will not be-
tray in the least degree, by their
looks and general demeanor, that
they are worried. Many criminals,
for instance, appear as cool as GU
cumbers, although they are inward
ly much perturbed; but to an at
tentive observer the state of their
minds is made clear by the parched
mouth.
You may take it for granted that
a person who is prey to deep ankle
ty will show signs of difficulty in
speaking; that is because his mouth
and throat are dried; and you will
see that he rolls his tongue about
in order to moisten it. He must be
a very cool individual who can pre-
vent that sign of anxiety.

ARIZONA BOY SHERIFF.
EOurteen-Year-OId Lad who Has
Made Several Wonderful
Arrests.

There is a true, old-fashioned dime
novel boy living out in Arizona. He
makes the most wonderful arrests, and
is known all around that locality as
the youngest officer of the peace in the
United States. He lives at Congress,
and is Richard Boscha, the 14-year-old
son of Deputy Sheriff Boscha, who
has been deputy sheriff of YayaPs'
county, Ariz., for 20 years, and is a
very fearless and worthy officer, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Richard is a small boy for his age,
but he inherits the fearlessness of his
father. He has deep black hair and
eyes and his face is most intelligent.
Not long ago he came to Phoenix,
bringing with him the 16-year-o.d son
of a county officer who had fallen so
deeply in love with the "Coontown 40O'
that he had run away with the organ
ization. When the young peace OIL
Ger was asked whether the young
man was glad to go back home, he
smiled and said:
"No; he did not want to come, but
there was no way out of it for him."
Young Mr.. Boscha's abilities as an
officer of the peace first came into no.
tice about a year ago by the arrest of
a Mexican for whom the officers had
been looking for long time. He and
another Mexican had fought duel
because of their mutual love of pref
ty Mexican girl, and the duel was in
tended to be deadly. One of the duel
lists was wounded and the other left
the country. Officers hunted every
where for him, but he could not be
found.
Some months afterward Richard
Boscha, then only 10 years of age,
found the duelist and at the point Of
a gun took him into camp.
