Linguistology tho Latest.

And still they come. Linguistology
is the last craze in Paris. II one pre-
fers to call 1t glossomancy. well and
good. Under either name 1t means
tongue reading. and it threatens to
compete with palmistry.
That p tongue may tell the character
Of the owner is q safe proposition. A
tongue may even, to expert eyes. tell
the conodition Of the owners liver and
from such data many conclusions may
be reached. Given the state Of q mans
liver, history and prophecy both seem
possible to even the average logician.
But linguistology has only to do with
the shape and form Of the tongue.
"a big tongue, It seems. indicates
frankness; a short tongue, dissimula-
ton; q long and broad tongue. gar
rulity and generosity; narrow
tongue, concentration and talent: q
short. broad tongue. garrulity and un'
truth. The man with q very short and
narrow tongue Is q liar Of true artis.
tic merit.
The disclosur ss Of linguistology may
be thrilling. but palmistry has one nd.
vantage which guarantees Its suprem.
acy over the rival science. The sub
ject need not stop talking during q
palmist's reading.-New York Sun.

tends from shoulder to belt In the back.

Professor Chamberlin, Of the Uni'
versity Of Chicago. concludes that the
oebular hypothesis or Laplace needs
to be replaced or greatly modified.
The parent body out Of which the earth
was evolved had only limited amount
Of matter; only very small proportion
Of this matter. near the exterior. was
possessed Of high energy Of motion;
the central portion had necessarily only
low energy. The earth in Its early
history may be conceived to have been
O small body, growing gradually by
the infall Of material from without,
md lacking In its early stages an
atmosphere. Gradually the accretion
of atmosphere permitted the gather.
ting Of water vapor and the oceans were
In time formed. From this time for.
ward the oceans protected the infalling
matter, for decomposition takes place
more slowly under water than under
free exposure to air. This process con.
tlnued gave rise to areas OF higher
specific gravity. and thus the superior
specific gravity of regions lying under
oceans Is explained. From q very
early stage volcanic action arose from
the excessive generation Of heat In the
interior through self-compression. VOL
canic action affects certain substances
more than others, and the present dis.
tribution Of volcanic products is to be
explained on these lines. II the tenn
perature Of the earth's interior Is SUI.
ficiently accounted for by compression.
then the temperature developed by the
infall Of matter may have been avail
able for the sustenance Of life from
q very remote epoch, and the oppos'
ing time estimates Of biologists and
of biologists may be reconciled In this
way.-New York Sun.

THE DAYS WORK.

Do the work OF tho day as well
As you have the wit to do;
Try for the best-for the hest will tel
What was the end in view.
Always your best-it is cheap to shirk;
The best makes the worker glad;
And people remember the better work,
Forgetting the weak and bad.
They remember the careful tool
As well rs the perfect song.
Scant is the memory Tor fool,
Or him who is idle long.
People remember the honest few
Who gave OF the best they had.
They will remember the good you do,
And always forget the bad.
Do the work of the day as well
As though it would close your toll.
He who a sermon in stone would tell
Must chisel and carve and moil.
Weak and ifeless, or firm and true
The work of the day is set.
People remember the good We do
The bad they viii soon forget.
Yesterday is Q record made.
Changeless, for good or i'll,
Hands to-day must be unafraid
Ready to work your will.
Useless, tomorrow, to sadly rue
Plans that were far from sure.
People remember the good you do,
And they forget the poor.

family objected. They argued that II
would injure her health. possibly
wreck her nerves. and that nothing
good would result from dabblinS In
mysteries. Mason was greatly disap-
pointed. for he felt that the success
OF a great discovery depended on the
girl. What might he not accomplish
by her assistance? He might teach
her to read the stars. to fathom the Sc
crets Of infinitude! And here he found
himself unable TO cope with the first
edict Of parental authority.

other kind OF infatuation. a growing
fopdness for this young man whose
days were numbered. Science was
nothing when put in the scales with
their love for their child. Mason ap-
pealed to Margaret Lansing as q sick
man always appeals to healthy. sym
pathetic woman. First. pity. then
love. He who has brutal health can
never know the sweet recompenses OF
weakness. Your robust man has no
charm compared to the pleading love
Of an invalid. Ralph had said to Mar.

She had smiled into his bright, com.
pelling eyes with q faith and belief
that were sublime, and held herself
In readiness to so like bird Of the
air when he called her. but nothing
came Of 1t. for he had tried-and
failed. His mind could not control
hers by any distant treatment. and he
had never been able to reach her by
either telepathy or hypnosis.

A Nasty Practice.

A nasty practice Is what the Chicago In.

animal glue, colors, etc.

tice should be stopped by legal enactment,
sanitarians recommend Aahastine as dur

How much OF the alarming spread Of small
poh and other diseases may be due TO unsan-

Ralph Mason was a consumptive.
You knew # by the bright hopeful eye.
the dull pale skin. and the nervous 1r-
ritable cough that accentuated his
slightest speech and racked his at
tenuated frame. And his tempera-
mental vivacity was due to the same
dead disease that while consuming
life daxzles the senses with golden VS.
Ions Of longevity.
Mason was night telegraph operator
at q small station on the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad between Chicago and
New Orleans. In q locality where pine
forests modified the dir with a tonic
Of balsam for hurt lungs and the dry.
sandy soil furnished chance for open
air exercise. Mason owned q good

Something peculiar in the mental
makeup Of the young operator was
both interesting and battling to new
acqualntances, but 1t was merely the
expression OF q cult which is not yet
one Of the exact sciences, but which
has immense undeveloped possibili-
tes.
Ralph Mason was student Of
psychic phenomena. q firm believer In
telepathy and an ardent investigator
into every new occult theory. He was
himself hypnGtist. possessing a na-
tural gift. cultivated and developed by
study and practice. At Harvey Sta
tion he had small opportunity to i'm
prove this faculty. but there was one
family living q few miles down the
line where he found a willing convert
to his peculiar views, and what was
more important valuable subject to
carry them out successfully.
Margaret Lansing. girl Of eigh-
teen. became infatuated with the
strange new power and gave Mason
her intelligent cooperation when at an
evening entertainment at the little dis
trict schoolhouse. before he went on
duty, he gave an exhibition Of his skill
