A REASONABLE SULTAN.
Morocco's Ruler Allowed Foreign
Visitors to Salute in Their Re-
spective Home Forms.

Travellers received by the sultan OF
Morocco were at one time required to
make the customary obeisance of the
country; but that ceremonial is now
omitted. The reason, according to
Lady Grove, in her "Seventy-One Days
Camping" goes back to a slight So
cial awkwardness involved in carrying
out that prescription:
A distinguished naturalist had been
presented to the sultan, and, as he
bowed his head to the ground, instead
of supporting himself with his hands,
he placed them behind his back. Con-
sequently, his forehead came against
the marble floor with loud bang, and
he had difficulty in recovering himself.
The sultan was amazed. HAS not
the gentleman had the honor Of enter
ing the presence of his own sovereign"
he asked another visitor, later.
Probably be has had that honor,
your majesty" was the answer.
"Then," said the sultan, che should
have learned the art of making saluta-
tions without the occurrence of such
accidents"
Thereupon his majesty learned with
establishment that this lowly form of
obeisance is not observed at European
courts, and he Immediately decreed
that none but the usual customs de-
manded by European sovereigns should
be required of Europeans when they
entered or left his presence.

WRINKLES AND CHARACTER,
Lines of the Face Reveal to nu EK-
pert the Various Natural
Traits of Person.

Now comes a specialist who declares
he can tell about people simply by
| STUDYING their wrinkles, which after
all may not be an reasonable theory.
| For instance, reports the New YORK
| World, he says life in crowded cities
stamps its mark on the plastic faces Of
the people, and the struggle for pleas
ure and for wealth marks the victim
with unmistakable signs.
With the aid of mirror one can
prove or disproye the statementsmade
by the wrinkle expert who lays down
these general laws:
THE horizontal burrows upon the
forehead are produced by mental
anxiety, the worry and fret Of life, and
they indicate a tendency to nervous
anxiety and are wholly opposed to the
serenity of unrutiled brows. Short
horizontal lines just above the roof
of the nose indicate beneyolence; when
found below the roof of the nose they
show one that is accustomed to eXer-
else authority, especially when it takes
lIl' IOI III VI loi
"a single vertical wrinkle between
the eyebrows shows strict honesty in
money matters. A disposition to require
justice in others is indicated by two
wrinkles each side Of the first, while
wrinkles outward from these show
conscientiOusness. These lines are
often marked in those who are deeply
absorbed in business, in thinkers,
writer's and inventors, while straight.
lowered brows indicate strong concen-
tration of purpose, long and hard
thinking and absorption in affairs.
"The lines raging outward from the
eyes show capacity for enjoyment, as
well as the two deep burrows from the
mouth to the upper lip. They are the
penalty we pay for mirth and form the
future channel of the tear. Either
perpendicular or curved wrinkles be-
low the angle of the mouth indicate
love Of truth and hatred of cant and by
pocrisy. When these lines are very
marked it begets grumbling at men and
things in general.
'AlI who are afilicted with Wrinkles
of this nature usually take a serious
view of life and do not look upon it as
a holiday, but as a season of work and
struggle involving much possibility.
We notice these linesin mothers face
when she is mourning the loss Of

ficted with some great sorrow.

Glow, projecting eyebrows indicate
discernment; when accompanied by
eyelids which more nearly close the
eye they denote less facility of express

tie ideas, and greater permanence and
steadiness Of action"

SONG OF THE MORTAR SHE'LL
Sounds Like Millions of wild Geese
Winging Their Way just
Overhead.

The mortars at Fort Hancock look
like pocket pistols in comparison with
Little Animosity." The officer in COM
mand sits in small hut on a bridge
about the powder magazines, giving
his directions to the crew. In which
ever direction the eye may wander
there is a gray mass of metal, an
angel of death. 1t may be rifle or
a mortar. Both Miles and Merritt
pronounce Fort Hancock impregnable,
says the New York Press. There are
l6-inch rifles, 12-inch rifles, ten-inch
rifles, two mortar batteries of 16
guns each and n pneumatic dynamite
gun. The turn of a wheel or the rails
ing OF a lever controls the directing of
many tons of steel, so perfectly bal
anced are the angels Springs re-
sisting the recoil of the mortars look
like elephants legs. Betty is aimed
at an angle of As degrees. A whistle
like postman's blows three times.
"Are you ready; Gridley? Fre!" Some
ono concealed presses button. The
shell sounds like 100000 wild geese
making their annual fall pilgrimage
from Labrador to Currituck. Wagner
has tried to initiate it in the fight of
the yalkyries in "Die Walkure." 1t is
said that no man has even seen a mod
ern mortar she'll in fight. Long after
its song has ceased, and you have for
gotten about it, comes the splash out

FORMIDABLE SHIPS PLANNED.
The British Admiralty Is Ambitious
TO Eclipse America In
lament.

According TO an official statement In
the newspapers in London the superb
GRITTY tournaments which the American
navy has admittedly held for ten years
will be surpassed by battleships the
construction of which is about to be be-
gun by Great Britain. 1t is stated that
the admiralty's programme for 1903
has been completed, and that it In
cludcs new type Of battlcship, de-
signed by Mr.. Watts, director Of naval
construction, which will exceed and ex-
eel those in existence both in size and
power.
Probably three of these vessels will
be laid down. The displacement Of
each will be $4,000 tons, which is nearly
1000 tons more than the largest battle
ship in existence. Each will carry four
12-inch and eight 9.2-inch guns, all In
turrets, besides ten six-inch rapid-tre
guns. The speed will be 10 knots.
Practically the whole hull will be ar
mored. The principal feature by which
it is claimed these vessels will eclipse
American warships is the provision for
Il heavy armorpiercing guns, them
selves well protected by armor.
In addition to the battleships six
cruisers Of 10000 tons each will be
built, These will have speed Of %
knots They will carry six o.2inch
guns and number Of smaller ones.

Things That Make Enxlan Il =,

The recent elevation of n certain
English nobleman to the peerage was
made the occasion of presentation of
silver plate from his tenantry, with an
address of congratulation. The old
est tenant on the estates got up and
said that he had himself attended 70
rent audits, and that his house had
been lived in by people bearing his
name for 200 years. 1t is little things
like this that make England so sturdy,
substantial and permanent, In compar,
ison with the nervous, volatile, unsta,
bic life of this country.

GET THINGS FOR NOTHING.
Women shoppers in New York De-
pnrtment stores Have Many
Things Provided for Them.

There is no city in the world where
a woman, during days shopping,
can get so many things for nothing
as she can in New York, says the
Times, of that city. Men and women
are employed especially to make her
comfortable. In any one of dozen
large department stores there is a
parlor where she can write all the
letters she wishes to, make appoint
ments with her friends by telephone,
find maid to wait upon her, com
partmant to put away any purchases
she may make, and have them all tied
up until she is ready to take the
train for home.
She need not leave any one store
all day, if the weather happens to be
bad. She can get an excellent meal
there at reasonable price. AS she
constantly tempting her to try a
cup of chocolate or some kind of
breakfast food, served with cream on
dainty little dishes. She may col
lect no end of artistically illustrated
booklets and samples of special foods
to take home with her. In at least
two stores she may hear really
good concert by well-paid musicians,
either in the morning or afternoon.
If she is accustomed to buying one
particular brand of coffee or tea she
gets premium card with every
pound that in time enables her to
get for nothing handsome piece Of
furniture, or a set of books.

The Pilot for Job work

Surely, you would not trouble his
majesty about such small matter!"
Indeed, will, and he will settle It,"
The Englishman expected that one
of the kaiser's secretaries would send
q formal and useless reply. But in
few days the chief professor showed
the Englishman letter, written at the
kaisers dictation, saying that his maj
esty would in six weeks be visiting IN
the neighborhood of the university,
and would make a call on the profess
sors and consult them about the dis
pute.
At the time appointed the emperor
came, discussed the matter patiently
with great tact and Judgment, and
finally settled it to the satisfaction OF
all parties.

MUSIC IN A FACTORY.
Tobacco Plant Uses Piano to Keep
Employees in Good Spirits.
Former Rule of Strict silence GIves
Way to the New and PoL alar
Innovation and Better und
More Work Is Done.

A piano is now a part of the regular
complement of machinery used in a to-
bscco plant at Louisville, KY, and the
department of music" is officially rec
| ognized in all the establishments.
Where formerly a strict rule of 81
lence was enforced, the strains Of mu-
sic, varying from rag time" to hymns,
are heard, and the hundreds OF en-
ployes, men, women and children, sing
as they work. AS result trouble be-
tween the workers is rare and the com
panies find their employees do their
work with better grace and fully ac-
complish more than they did before the
rules enforcing silence were abolished
The piano in the plant is but step
further in the plan of the two com
panies to make life more pleasant for
those who labor in the big factories
and it is stated that If the experiment
proves a success Instruments may be
placed in other establishments operat-
ed by the concerns.
The plan Of introducing music into
the factories here was first suggested
TO General Manager X, X. Smith, OF the
Continental Tobacco company in this
city, by a foreman in the stemmery at
Twenty fourth and Main streets, the
largest establishment of its kindin the
country. The foreman probably got
his cue from the habits Of roustabouts
on the Ohio river packets who mingle
their songs with their work, and the
experiment was a success from the
start

A Remarkable Record.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a remarkable record. It has been in use for over thirty years, during which time many million bottles have been sold and used. It has long been the standard and main reliance in the treatment of croup in thousands of homes, yet during all this time no case has ever been reported to the manufac- turers in which it failed to effect a cure. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or even as soon as the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is pleasant to take, many children like it. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by all druggists.

Speed of European Trains.

Vice President Paul Morton of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, who recently returned from Flu rope, is quoted in a newspaper in- terview as follows:
 As to speed of trains in Europe. it is about the same as ours here, although a friend of mine. H. H. Freeland of New York, said he had travelled 700 miles on the Oriental Express at the rate of eighty miles an hour-fifty miles straightaway, twenty miles up and down and ten miles sideways. From close ob- servation of the transportation question I am satisfied that the American people receive more com- fort and better facilities in every way for less money than those in any European country and that both passenger and freight rates are one third cheaper than those abroad, while employees of Ameri- can railroads receive in wages al most twice as much as paid to sim liar workmen in Europe"
