TOLD BY SHAPE OF FACE.
The obIong and the Round as Indica-
tions Of Character.

The physiognomist divides the faces
into three so-called grand classes
the oblong face, the round face, and
the pyriform or pear-shaped face. The
oblong face is one which would fit
more readily into an oval than round
or pear-shaped diagram. For mere ply
steal beauty the oblong or oval face
has the highest standing, and the ar
lists who paint youthful beauty en-
deavor to get what is called the pure
oval to the face. individuals with an
oblong or oval face are naturally Of
a strong and active nature, with keen
powers of perception and much mag
ination. They are self-reliant and per-
severing. They are not, strictly speak
ing, highly intellectual, although they
are often talented. They are constant
in friendship, and strong in their affec-
tions.
The round face belongs usually to a
subject whose neck is short, should
ers broad and round, chest full, and in
whom a tendency to stoutness in mid
die life is indicated by the plumpness
of youth.
The round-faced woman very often
has small feet and hands. In character
the round-faced subject is lively, amia-
BILE, impulsive, and frequently tickle.
She lacks persistence, and she loves
ease too much to do any serious and
patient plodding, which we all know
is necessary to attain good results.
The pyriform face indicates the in
tellectual type. The woman with the
pear shaped face has high, broad
forehead. Her features are generally
delicate and finely modelled. Her neck
is slender; she is tall rather than
short; her chest is not broad fire.
quently, on the contrary, 1t is narrow.
She has intelligent eyes. and she new

Porto Rico Coffee.

AS the coffee of the Island of Porto
Rico becomes more and more widely
used in America it is being wondered
at that it has been so completely I'M
known to this county all of this time.
Only since the occupancy of Porto
Rico by the Americans has it become
at all known to this country, and the
more it is used the more it's superior
quality appeals to the taste of coffee
drinkers. Before the Americans en-
tered Porto Rico almost its entire cof-
fee crop was annually shipped to
Spain, and thence sold for the most
part into France and Germany; and
even now the bulk of the crop is sold
annually into Spain, France, Germany,
Austria and Italy-but a small proper
ton of it coming to the United States.
To the people of those countries now
residing in the United States, Porto
Rico coffee is, therefore, nothing new.
1t is not only a strong coffee, but it is
highly aromatic and has a delicious,
rich flavor, thoroughly distinct in it.

about it. Within the past few months

the coffee produced in other parts of

Commerce, Mr.. Frederick c. limp

camille Company, has the following to
say about this coffee:
In regard to Porto Rico coffee, ev-
cry traveller who has been on the is
land will bear testimony to the sup
rior excellence of the coffee served
there, and there is no reason why it
should not be in general use here.
Much of the Porto Rico coffee that
has been sold here is not of the best
quality
1t is a heretofore unknown thing to
be able to drink coffee raised in our
own country, but now that Porto Rico
is a possession of the United States.
this is being done. With the steadily
increasing use in America of that
product of our new possession, it will
not be long before the bulk of the
crop will find it's way annually into

AS a result of two runaways in Col

were more or less injured, two delivery
wagons were demolished and a horse
belonging to ]. D. Harms was badly
cut
The horse owned by Mr.. Harms was
attached to his grocery wagon and
driven by negro known as Ben.
The animal was going at break neck
speed on Waters road when the atten-
ton of Mounted Patrolman Best was
attracted. Near Henry street Preston
Arise, a negro in charge of Winkler' S
delivery wagon, pulled his horse to the
side of the road to avoid a collision.
The horse pulling the grocery wagon,
however, also turned to the side of the
road. AS a result there was col
lision which resulted in the breaking
and overturning Of the Winkler wagon.
The Harms horse was brought to a
stand still near Bolton street. and
the driver was placed under arrest. He
declared that he could not control the
horse and that his hands were numb as
a result of his effort to hold the ami
NAL in check. A teamster known to
Patrolman Best as Henry volunteered
to drive the horse to Mr.. Harms store
on Bolton street, near East Broad and
the regular driver was released from
custody.
Almost before the two negroes had
gotten fairly in the seat the horse dash
ed west on Bolton street and missed
colliding with a trolley car by a mar
row margin. The negro Henry found
1t impossible to control the heightened
animal and near OFT street jumped,
just before the wagon was dashed into
a telegraph pole. The negro Ben was
thrown out and painfully injured and
the wagon was demolished. The horse
ran into barbed wire fence near the
