not great many stronger marks
than the work of a gardener leaves upon
him, particularly as to his hands and
feet. The link between the forefinger and
thumb of his right hand is toughened like
a piece of bull hide, and marked by lines
which show dead white against the dark
er color of the palm. At the root OF each
finger is round corn, very dark and
hard This is caused by the pressure OF
the spade handle while digging, and Is
unlike any other sign, the fire stoker's
shovel making quite different mark
The gardeners nails are fan-shaped
after he has been at his work year
very broad at the tips and narrow at the
bottoms-and the thumb and middle of
the forefinger are worn smooth, the result
Of pulling up strong weeds When sitting
down he generally rests his right foot on
the edge of It's heel, instead of placing 1T
flat.
Finally, one of the easiest Of all to tell
is the man who has seen active service in
a hot country, for he has marked at the
outer corner of each eye a little fan
shaped group of Fuckers or wrinkles,
spreading outward from the corner. These
are the result of constant and anxious
staring through the binding sunshine,
and once acquired-a few months will do
it-never leave the face.-Tit-Bits.

pushed round from the underside, the
right thumb is broadened third as
much again as the left, and the ball of
the right forefnger is hardened into a
thick corn. This is caused by the con-
slant use Of the chisel which marks the
right hand more than any other kind OF
tool, and it takes couple OF years after
a Joiner leaves his trade to wipe out the
marks it imprints on him. This Is SO
plain that 1t is the kind Of example an
expert begins to learn his business by,
and unless a joiner kept his hand in his
pockets nobody who had learnt the

is apt to blink his eyes good deal
more than necessary when away from
his work, and the white of the eyes
are dim and tinged with blood.
This is dangerous and unhealthy
trade, and is further marked on its fol-
lowers by an odd pallor, Of a silvery tint,
which is not produced by any other busi-

There is no doubt, however,

which a hairpin may be put is

Are there any limitations to
the uses of a hairpin?
Certainly, some people will
say, there are limitations to
everything, and why should
not such / insignificant
thing as a hairpin be classed
with other articles of every
day use?
Take a woman, however,
and she will laugh at the idea.
TO her the hairpin takes the
place of a thousand and one
other necessary articles, and
yet it's province is being ex-
tended every day by some
characteristic invention of a
member Of the fair sex.

that it has no other uses. The
harmless necessary hairpin
fills a bigger place in the life
Of woman, and man, too, for
that matter, than was ever
contemplated by it's inventor.

Such a performance is simple

AS a set Of hooks for hang

wall, the hairpin comes in tri-
umphantly.
AS a paper cutter the hair
pin requires no apology for its
use.
The hairpin bent makes an
excellent carrier for light
packages, the top bent portion
being conveniently placed
over the finger.
Do not forget also that,
when the gas is turned off, the

trimmed very deftly with the

This certain woman had
used a hairpin, bent in the
proper shape, to support her
short skirt from the belt. AS
far as usefulness was con-
cerned there needed be no inn
provement.
But then something more at
tractive is more to the FEM
mime tastet, and so after but a
little work, she perfected that
which has brought her more
than an ordinary fortune.
Numerous other inventions,
some of them being adopted
from one end Of the country to
the other, have resulted from
the hairpin.
Again the question of the
limitations of the usefulness
of the hairpin comes up. What
is the answer?
1t is impossible to tell.
While a thousand women
on being interviewed regard
ing the ends to which they
make use Of the hairpin, may
agree upon a mighty list Of
uses, an outsider might step in
and add something hitherto
unthought of.
That is the reason why a
complete list is impossible.

WEBER PIANOS have been before
the public for half century, and now
hold a supreme position in the piano
world. This fact alone is decisive
proof of the genuine worth of these
Pianos, for had they not over and
over again justified their claims upon
public confidence, they could never
have achieved such a splendid tri-
umph over interested opposition and
criticism during so long a period.
Their success is due To the fact that

mony. That brave strut of youth!
Those who have failed and those who
have succeeded observe it with amuse-
ment. Older candidates for fortune
conceal their hopes and convictions,
but youth forever offers its unripe flu
ture to the maiden.
The most interesting part of the
book is the story of the herO's boy
hood, schooldays and sChOolmates. The
chapter on the sentimental stock eX-

chum have reached stocks and bonds
in the arithmetic shows that they i'm

Without pretending to make study
of anything in character or economics,
such stories are the recreation of an
hour. They are in literature what the
light opera is in the drama, and they
perform the notable function of recrea-
ton.
The Debatable Land" in the same
series makes a more comprehensive
study of type. There is a description
of a battle which recalls the Red Badge
of Courage, and you get the sickening
odor of carnage. 1t is a love story of
modern American life. In the man
called Morgan Map, Arthur Cotton, the
author, has portrayed a certain kind of
American of frequent occurrence, but
his portrait has not before been
painted. So masculine that he has no
intuition whatever, blunt, impervious,
masterful, he gets his way by the ener-
gy of his own impetus. Not given to
reflection any more than the original
perfectly developed plesiosaurus, he is
continually stepping on what he con-
siders Instructions that are really
higher forms of animal life. Morgan
Map decides to marry young woman.
Her opposition has no more effect upon
him than to make him more determ-
ined. He had one virtue. He is never
Intellectual He has bulk and a con-
Sciousness of power. He is no more
retrospective than a Corliss engine, but
he occupies the center of the stage and
he has the courage of his size, energy
and simplicity. That Morgan pro-
posed a Napoleonic career for himself,
that he proposed to dominate, to break
through limits and oppositions, to drive
a path through the jam of men wide
enough for his shoulders to work in,
was merely his own candid statement.
A man was an engine for covering
ground and arriving at ends, and NAL
ice was burned-ou slack, likes and dis
likes mostly whims.''
The two books are love stories for
summers day, but with a difference.
When Love Was Young is subjective,
written by a youngster for the love O
writing, who has made the hero out of
himself The Debatable Land is an
objective, scholarly study of types.
