The Salad Had Preference.

American social leaders are more in
terested in the Kaiser of Germany than
they ever were in any crowned head,
outside of the English rulers. Probably
it is because the Kaiser is fond of
Americans, and shows as keen de-
sire as his uncle. the King of England,
to meet charming Americans and talk
has met many of the rich social set of
America and they are loud in their
praise of the Emperor.
He is described as having the most
fascinating personality in Europe to-
day. 1t is said of him that he has that
great quality which made the wife of
President Cleveland, one of. the most
notable women who ever presided at
the White House. That is, the gift of
making visitor or auditor think that
he is the.one person in the world whom
the great one desires to meet.
A woman, who is of high social dis
tinction in America, was presented to
the Kaiser at some dinner that was not
attended with royal state. She was
talking to him when she was offered
famous German salad. It was hand
ed on her right and the Kaiser was on
her left. which put her in a predica-
ment.
She did not dare turn her face from
the Emperor to help herself to the sal
ad. The situation was too much for
her. The Emperor. seeing the condition
at glance, looked at her for an instant
and laughed, as he said: "A Kaiser
can wait, but a salad cannot. Phila-

the same games as the youngsters in

POISONING AND oKAH WORSHIP.

Maidservant Is Transformed by Arrest
Into a Priestess.
A case of Okah worship and native
poisoning, that will be at once recog-
nized as typical by all West Indians,
may be related. A mistress discovered
that her well-favored quadroon wait
ress was exerting an undue influence
over the oldest heir to the paternal
acres, and reproved her therefor. Re-
proof not suficing, a case of fagrante
delictu was punished by a whipping
with strap-unfortunately not ap-
piled to the youth, but to the plump
shoulders of the girl.
The punishment was taken in grim
silence, and at its termination some
threat. indistinctly heard by others,
was made in which .Obiman" and
swork de Obeah' were phrases The
next morning the mistress and her
daughter, who took breakfast alone to-
gether, were seized with convulsions,
and before medical aid could arrive
were dead Here was quite enough of
the circumstantial to warrant the ar
rest of the girl; but further than that
the case never went.s
No very definite results came from
the chemical analysis, no one knew of
the girl having visited an ODlman or
having held communication with any
one between the time of her punish
ment and the death of her mistress,
and no poisnn was f0 hp foTnd in tho
house Finally the suspected servant
was set free, and on every hand she
was hailed by her ignorant fellow SER
wants as possessed with great powers,
and her "cusscuss' Qmprecations) were
sought by all who had vengeance to
wreak. Thus she abruptly graduated
from the regions of seryantdom to the
higher realms of Obi priestess.-C Grams

LESSONS FROM THE MOUTH.
Human Character Revealed by tt
Contour of the Lips.

Human Character Revealed by the
Contour of the Lips.
According to physiognomist, the
lower lip is the most important part of
the mouth as an Indicator of character
According to its fullness, freshness in
appearance, and width 1t indicates
benevolence and liberality. : A pale,
shriveled and narrow lower lip reveals
a decided want of these qualities.
There are thick under lips that hang
SO that they become almost a disfig-
urement, and these, as well as looking
ugly, denote Incidence and a love of
luxury. Taking the opposite extreme,
however, it is not desirable to have pro-
nouncedly thin lips, for when the out
line of the lips is narrow and united
to mouth with a sinister expression,
there is indicated great deficiency of
natural kindness in their owner, a
want of warmth, and but little capaci-
ty to love. Well defined and developed
lips, the outlines of which are rounded
out, are admired for their beauty and
moral worth, being, as they are, tokens
of a tender-hearted, amiable and SYM
pathetic disposition.
Well-closed lips are sign of discre-
ton. If the upper one is long, in addi-
ton to being pressed down firmly upon
the lower one, both mental and phys
ical power appertain to their owner.
Supposing the upper lip is very short,
and the middle teeth of the top row
are constantly exposed, fondness for
praise is betrayed.
Frequently another type of mouth is
seen, one in which the corners of the
lips descend, indicating person Of
despondent disposition, prone to dwell
overmuch upon the seriousness side of
life. But when the corners turn up in
the form of Cupid's bow, their pos
SCISSOR is of a bright and cheerful ma
ture, always finding a silver lining to
every cloud and good in everything

81 don't want to play with Walter
any more, mother; he is not nice boy
at ALL" said Ralph.
what has Walter been doing?" ask
ed mother, looking into the earnest
brown eyes of her little son.
II was sailing my boat in the brook
back of the garden, and l anchored her
and came TO the well for drink, and
while was away somebody upset her
in the, water"
"And you think it was WalterY
''Oh, I'm sure he did it; nobody else
was there"
Perhaps Walter is innocent; and you
ought to return good for evil, anyway,
you know. Take this apple and give 1t
to Walter, and here is rosy one for
yourself. Don't have any quarrel over
the boat.''
Ralph hesitated moment and then
trudged steadily off with the apples.
The little boys were together all the
afternoon, and Ralph did not once refer
to the upsetting Of his boat, although
he was certain that his companion
knew something of the matter.
The following morning Ralph again
went to the brook with his boat. Again,
while the Jenny was lying peacefully
at anchor, he went into the garden for
some pebbles to serve as a cargo; and
presently, on peering through the
bushes to see if his craft were safe, he
gave vent to a startled "Oh!" A big
yellow dog had run down the opposite
slope and plunged into the brook for a
bath, and the waves thus formed caus-
ed the little Jenny to capsize. ..Shoo.
shoo| cried Ralph, rushing to the spot
and driving away the intruder. The
boat was drawn from the water and
dried in the warm sunshine, and soon
was sailing to and fro as lightly as
ever, while her little master resolved
that he would not again blame his boy
friend for the faults of a big yellow
dog,-Sunbeam.

TRADE IN LATIN AMERICAS.
Why the U.ited states Goes Not S

Why the United States Goes Not Se-
cure Its Share Thereof.
Minister Loomis maintains that the
United States does. not have, in any
part of Latin America, the share Of
trade which its productivity and prox-
unity entitle it to. The Germans, the
English, the French and even the Span
ish exhibit a higher degree of CONNER
cial Intelligence than we do in dealing
with the Latin Americans.
Our merchants and manufacturers
are loath to understand that in order to
succeed in Central or South America
they must conform to the business
methods to which centuries of usage
have given the force and prestige of
national customs. If we want to do
business with the South Americans We
must, in a large measure, do business
in their way, and not try to force our.
methods upon them, though we may be
convinced that our manner of conduct
ing commercial affairs is superior to
theirs.
The Latin-American merchant is ac-
customed to long credit Six months
is the usual period, but sometimes it is
year. He will pay, but he must have
time in which to pay, for it is the Gus
tom of the South American trader to
be banker as well as a merchant,
and he has to make large advances in
money and supplies to the owners of
coffee and other plantations to enable
them to pay their laborers, and the
merchant does not expect repayment
until the coffee crop is harvested and
sold, once a year. So it will be seen
that long time in making his own pay
ments is essential to him.
The European merchants and manu-
facturers understand this, and arrange
to give the South American merchant
ample time in which to meet his obli-
cations. The Europeans make care
full, comprehensive systematic study of
the conditions and necessities of the
Latin-American market, and then set
to work in an intelligent way to meet
and satisfy those conditions and needs.
Success.
