what Is Said About Ears.

You never saw a poet or painter
with large, coarse ears that stand out
from the head like extended wings.
That kind of an auricular appendage
betokens coarseness of mind. A long,
narrow ear that lies fat to the head is
a sign Of pugnacity. Never trust man.
with thin, waferlike ear. He was
born hypocrite, if not a thief. A very
small ear betokens trifing mind, lack
ing decision. Ears set very high on
the head indicate narrowness of mind.
A large, well shaped ear that does not
spread itself to the breeze is Indicative
Of generousness. Most of the world
compellers had large ears and well de-
veloped noses Although there are SO
many millions OF people in the world,
no two pairs of ears are alike. Each
has marked individuality.

CHANGE TO BRITISH REGISTRY.
Shipping Trust Planning Series of
Radical Reforms.

Philadelphia, jan 23.-The manage
ment of the international Mercantile
Marine company has begun a series Of
radical changes and financial reforms
in the conduct of the affairs of the fleet
of ocean liners which it controls.
These, it is learned, embrace the chang
ing of the registry of several of their
steamers, which will shortly be placed
under the British flag.
The first vessels to change their ma
tionality will be four steamers Of the
old Red Star line, the Westernland,
the Noordland, the Rhynland and the

Horses with Four white Feet.

In France and believe in European
countries it is most ominous sign
for a rider. and especially a soldier, to
want horse with four white feet. The
famous general Lasalle, who was very
superstitious upon this point. never
knowingly mounted such horse. The
day of his death, after several ominous
events which had happened to him
that day, such as broken mirror,
broken pipe, the picture of his wife
broken at the very moment when he
went to look at it for the last time, he
mounted horse not his own without
glancing at the feet. The horse had
the unlucky signs. Mounted upon this
horse, he was struck by shot fred at
moment when fighting had ceased by
"a Croat among the prisoners just taken
at the battle Of Wagram.
On the other hand, these four white
feet are a mark and token Of consid-
GRAFTON with the orientals, who do not
fail to mention the fact in the pedigrees
Of their horses.

TRIAL or COLONEL LYNCH.
Defense ciainas He Was Protected by
Naturalization Laws.

London Jan. 23.The court in
which Colcnel Arthur Lynch, member
of parliament for Galway, is being
tried on the charge of high treason
was again crowded during the day.
After reading the deposition of an
American, Louis Handley, Who said
Colonel Lynch had compelled him to
take up arms in behalf. of the Beers at
Glencoe, but who had got off through
the intervention of the American con
sui, counsel for the defense submitted
that the prisoner was protected by the
naturalization laws He claimed that
a man WIS entitled to become an alien
at any time, even after the outbreak
of war. lie referred to the War Of
independence; said there were at
least 10000 men of British birth in the
American mercantile marine and as
serted that there were 10000, 900 peo-
pie living in America who possessed
the two nationalities.
Counsel contended that Colonel
Lynch took I'D arms in behalf of the
Transvaal without secrecy and under
the mistaken belief that the naturali-
cation act permitted this. In any
event, counsel added, if the court de-
cided the prisoner was a British sub
ject he ought to be tried in Australia,
where he was born.
The attorney general, Sir Robert
Finlay, replying for the prosecution,
argued that Colonel Lynch procured
naturalization for the purpose of fight
ing his own country and added that
even could naturalization cover the
prisoners subsequent actions it could
not cover his anterior reason, namely,
adhering to the queens enemy and
declaring his willingness to fight
against her forces.''
The court decided that the natura1i-
cation act afforded no defense in the
present case.g Naturalization was pre-
coded by taking an oath Of allegiance
. the enemy, which was reasonable
-ction.

In England the jewellers are bringing

by generations to come. There are
many medallion portraits, of course,
j some of the king, some of the queen
and others of the two together, these
with a ring at the top and some set
around with jewels. A pair of cum
links are in the form of oval buttons,
big "C' outlining one and in the CEN

the entwined letters 81. R." with a
tiny "VII." between them. A pretty
brooch of diamonds, olivines and ru-
