A Picked Traveller,

A traveller in Tartary tells the fol
lowing story of a corpulent Greek
servant who accompanied him: AT
the end of the third day the we'll
seasoned kavass in attendance, whose
whole life had been passed in the
saddle, came with a smile to report
that Gurgis WAS unable to proceed
from abrison, as the doctors called il, d,

behind, sir, in the desert added the
old beirakdar, so, with your leave,
we will give him the Tartar bath

cordingly prepared, in which the un-
fortunate Gurgis was forthwith inn
mersed. uttering the most appalling
howls at the first plunge, but subsid-
ing shortly afterward and eventually,
after half an hours tanning coming
out so effectively case-hardened that
he rode a further thousand miles to
the Black sea in the course of the
next week without showing . symp-

EXPRESSION IN THE HAND.
That Member Is Frequently Far More
Eloquent Than the
Tongue.

There is a wealth of meaning in the
simple pressure of the hand. Not in
Frequently a woman's nature and
breeding may be distinguished by the
manner in which she shales friends
hand. 1t may be due to the fact that
there are more nerves between the
brain and the hand than between any
other two portions of the body, but
eloquent than the tongue, a Washing
ton orator is quoted AS saying, and
when woman once appreciates the
Importance of this she Will immediate-
ly begin to study the expression of
the hand. One human touch Of SYM
pathy or grasp of the hand can and
frequently does mean more than a
volume Of words, and to possess this
quality, particularly in woman, is no
light charm and a thing that lies With
III the reach Of every woman. Should
she not have it naturally she should
speedily cultivate expression of the
hand
of refined hand, beauty and texture
of skin, Whiteness Of nails all essen
tial, but not half SO important as ex-
preston. Graceful gesture and a touch
Of quick sympathy, these never lose
their charm or power.

WON'T CLEAR RIVER.
Var department Refuses 40 EN-
pcud Money at Cello.

Washington, July 3l,-The War De
2artmeut, Notwithstanding the fact that
,here is considerable sum in the
treasury allotted for the improvement
Of the Columbia River between The
Dales and Cello, holds that no money
shall be spent until the special Eng neer
8oaId has reported and Congress has
app,oyed the new project. A few days
ago Senator Mitchell referred to the
department u letter from one OF his
constituents, asking that he use his
influence to have the department expend
a part Of the available funds for blasting
ont the rocks that are in the channel at
Three Mile Rapids, with view to in
,urjng a safe chaune! up to the end OF
The proposed portage road to be con-
structed by the State.
The War Department has never b en-
advised of the details of the continuous
cana project that is favored by the
Board, and knows nothing of the pro-
posed te minals. 1t is not desired 10
sxpend any part OF the funds in clearing
I'D the channel at point where that
channel is not to be utilized, under the
aew project. This would be regarded
as money wasted, so tar as the permanent
Improvement is concerned. # it shall
ae found. when the new project is
adopted, that by blasting out the rocks
1t Three. Mile Rapids, the Government
.ould be undertaking work that must
necessarily be done later on, the
necessary expe? diture may then b.
made, but not before.

considering his earning capacity
the barber perhaps invests fewer dol
lars in the tools of his trade than does
the craftsman in any other line OF
skilled work. If he be prorrie tor and
nave TO furnish his shop, the situation
IS ol11erent, but as journeyman he is
not burdened with an iota of the
weight OF tools that belong to the car
penter, plumber. stonecutter. cabinet
maker, and kindred trades. Half i.
uozen razors. two pairs of shears. a

may take up the same trade. A razor
with blade only one fourth of an
inch wide has not nearly served the
hmlt OF its usefulness. Sometimes it
may shave only ten faces and need a
honlng; at another time it NAV shave
~ faces and still be in good shape.
AS for the shears, the two nairs at
cost OF S1.50 may be counted on to

hone is bought for lifetime and
strop may last for 20 years. A brush

were women and children, who gazed

Webb. to his silent subordinates.
"You see Col. Plodder has only two

Ross, who knew Ray had but one

"Mr. Field is-busy," answered the
major, still more shortly, then red
dened to his bushy brows, for at the
doorway, in riding dress, and with a
face the color of parchment, stood
the officer in question. 1t was a mo-
ment that threatened panic, but
Webb met the crisis with marked
aplomb.
''Oh, Field" he cried, there's an
