EXPRESSION IN THE HAND.
That Member Is Frequently Far More es-> Eloquent Than the
 a. .... -. Tongue. A.

There is 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 shakes friends hand. It 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 true it is that the hand is often more eloquent than the tongue, a Washing ton orator is quoted as saying, and when women 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 thing that lies with in the reach of every woman. Should she not have it naturally she should speedily cultivate expression of the hand.
 Of course thereare certain hall marks of 8 refined hand, beauty and texture of skin, whiteness of nails all essen- tial, but not half so important as ex- pression. Graceful gesture and touch of quick sympathy, these never lose their charm or power.

When in Japan not very long since, I saw as remarkable time piece as I suppose the world con- tains," said MT. William T. Crews, of Newark, N. J., reports the Washing ton Post.
 ''It was inclosed in a frame about three feet wide and five feet long, re- presenting 8 monday landscape of rare beauty. Tn the foreground ap- pear plum and cherry trees and gor- gerous plants in full bloom; in the rear there is sloping hill, from which cascade seems to flow, the crystal im- itation being of wonderful likeness. A thread-lile brook meanders from this point, encircling rocks and islands, and finally disappearing in a piece of woodland. In a miniature sky 8 golden sun, turning in silver wire, strikes the hour on silver gongs as it passes.
 Each hour Is marked in the frame by creeping tortoise, which takes the place of hand. A bird of exqui- site plumage warbles at the close of each hour, and as the song ceases a mouse sallies forth from a neighbor- ing grotto, and scampering over the hill to the garden is soon lost to view" .t-

BAD MANS LOSE-OUT.
How Jim Crandall Fell Into the

Re Felt Good and Killed Two Chinkc Just I'm Fun, But Ten Minuteg Later Was Forced to Make

"I've met up with lot of bad men, some of whose annals have kept the scribesmen of the western states busy, but the hardest man that I ever saw was grub-stake fellow met up with about a dozen times while I was as- signed to the Navajoe and Moqui tribes," said an inspector of Indian agencies to a Washington Star man. ''He lived in Tucson when he wasn't up in the Santa Anita mountains looking for pay dust, and for several years he was the chief contributor of inert sub- jects to that little white cemetery that lies to thewest of the town, more or less covered with yellow sand. His name was Jim Crandall. Jim was six feet six inches in stature, and he weighed 25O pounds. Every pound that he had on him was bear meat-that is to say, his life in the mountains, after the quartz, kept him down to the minute
 "But Jim never used his strength except to show off. I suppose there was not man in the southwest that could have coped with him in a straightout match of strength, but he always leaned to the bowie and the gun in close quarters, so that none of his victims ever had chance to feel the clasp of his gorilla arms.
 Sober, Jim was as mild man as ever slit an oesophagus, but when he got about four rounds of juniper juice in him he was worse terror than a desert mirage to the sand Indians. Before met him he had slaughtered seven men, five of them in straight gun fights and two in knife plays, and he had always, contrived to duck the law and make getaway on the ground of self-defense, which is certainly main ground down in the southwest territories.
 "It's a thing don't like to mention, but happened to be with Crandall on the night he made his lose-out. He

VIRTUES OF IVORY.

ivory was formerly used as medi- cine, but this was discontinued about the end of the eighteenth or the be- ginning of the nineteenth century. 1t was certainly prescribed in 1746, the date of the last edition of Castel- los "Medicae Compendium" says Stray Stories. !
 In Schroder's Zoology, 1859, trans lated into English by T. Bateson, 1t is thus described under the heading 'Elephas:"
 His teeth are only used in medi- cine, vulgarly called ivory. The vir- tues: It cools and drys, moderately binds cuts, strengthens the inward parts. It is good for the jaundice, it chaseth away wormes, it is good for inveterate obstructions; it takeA away the pains and weakness of the stomach; it heals the epilepsie, drives away melancholy, resists rottenness and poysons. It is used in infusions, and the powder is given in substance. The dose is half dram. Preparation: i. Burnt ivory, called Spodium, and to distinguish it from the mineral Spoduim, Spodium of Ivory, ii. Troches of Spodium.''
 Ivory ground fine, and made into a sort of jelly, has been used as 0 strenthening food in more recent times, by medical advice. .s
