CHARACTER TOLD BY SHOES.

Scarpology is the name or a novel method of divination which is now at tracting some attention in Europe. It was invented by a scientist O: Basle. and it is based on the assumption that the character of any person can DC tald from his shoes.
 Here are a few of the principal rules:
 When a heel and sole are ,"o~u equally, meaning thereby when neither is in a worse condition than the other. one may be confident. if q man wears the shoe, that he is energetic and is en- dowed with excellent business ability, and. if a woman, that she is loyal to her husband and a good housekeeper.
 The outer edge of a sole. if much worn, is 9 sure token of q fantastic, wayward spirit, but. on the other hand. if the inner edge is worn. the wearer is timiG and irresolute.
 When the shoes are much worn along the outer edge and the leather around the toes begins to look shabby the other parts of the shoes mean while being almost as good as new. one may be confident that the wearer is rogue"

The average American practitioner would be out of place over there With them it's study. study. study from the time they receive their degree until they die.
 At the hospitals or meeting places they talk nothing but shop. I have known a group of German doctors to leave their dinner half eaten to visit case under discussion. They are the worst possible practitioners, for they aye interested only in technique.

THE LATEST HERO.

The bravery displayed by Private William Ballom. who. unaided and all alcne checked a second rush of Fill ipino insurgents at Suclacan. while he stood guard over the bodies of Captain Overton and Private Moves. who had been killed by bOlomen in the first rush is of a kind calculated to make the blood of his cOuntrymen jingle with patriotic pride.
 The history of the American ocCupa- tion of the Philippines tells many sim liar stories of individual bravery and heroism. All honor to the men who have done their full duty under the flag.
 No need of praise given them can be greater than they deserve. It must therefore be a matter of deepest re- gret to all Americans that inhuman and disgraceful acts should have been thoughtlessly or wantonly committed by a few officers and men to sully and stain the good record made by the vast majority of the splendid army which has done duty in those islands.-At- lanta Constitution.

THE EVOLUTION OF RUSSELL.

Until short time ago F. w. Russell, the, apostle Of the new land movement in Ireland, was a very unpopular per son. He is a man of intense convic- tion. a born fighter. giving no quarter and asking none. When he removed to Dublin from Cupar-Fife, in Scotland, where he was born in 1S41, he became an officer oi one of tEe temDerance associations of the city. For twenty eight strenuous years he was the unre- lenting foe of the publican or saloon keepers. At every licensing session there was Russell. What he didn't know about the liquor business wasn't worth knowing. The best lawyers that the trade could obtain might as well have butted their heads against a stone wall as try to break him down when he appeared as a witness against applicants for new licenses nr an applicant to have old ones revoked. As he sat on the witness chair, alert, al ways ready with the right retort. al- ways. ready with the facts and figures, he went through a practical training that stood him in good stead when he went into politics later on.

ENTERTAINMENT AID

Washington. n. C.. June 1.-The war department is eXerting its full powers and going to the extreme warrant of the law in aiding the flood sufferers in the west. Putting aside all technicali- ties as to the power of the department to move in the matter without Vioiat- ing the law prohibiting the expenditure of government supplies without direct order of congress. Acting Secretary Sanger has assumed full responsibility for the extension of relief where this is necessary to save human life and if necessary. congress will be asked later to approve the exercise of authority.
 By the direction of the department the army officers in the flooded region will not only provide tents to shelter the homeless but will be allowed to exercise their Judgment as to the issue of such military supplies and rations as can be spared. It is expected that judgment will be shown in the issue of these rations, and that there will be no wholesale and indiscriminate support oi entire communities. In addition to this General Gillispie of the chief en- gineers, has not only authorized the use Of all beats and pontoons at the river and harbor works within reach of the flooded sections to save life and property. but upon his inquiry Ma jor Leech, the engineer officer in charge at Fort Leavenworth. has stat ed that he can very soon build 1900 feet of pontCon bridging and this will be transported as quickly as possible to places where it is needed to open com municat ton.

The facilities of their shops here are at the disposal of those wish ing to make steam launches or other machinery for rescue. The officers have caused a pumping apparatus to be con structed and they are now sending a supply oI water through the mains in the east portion of the city. The people Of Topeka have responded Loyalty to the calls fer supplies. Up to the present time the relief committee has had no trouble in supplying what clothes are necessary and feeding all the hungry. Further than this no steps have been taken. The people are not permitted to stay at the auditorium any longer than necessary. As soon as they are brought in and given dry clothing most of them are sent to the houses of South Side residents.

THE PRESS AN PENNYPACKER

"I know of no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so eff fectual as their strict construction. ." said President Grant in his first inaug- ural address. The Grady Salus libel law cannot remain on the statute book of Pennsylvania Gs a dead letter. IL must be repealed oV declared unconsti- tutiCnal, and if Governor Pennybacker has the courage of his convictions he will take up the gage thrown down by the newspapers. They have fiouted his law, they are training their cartoon batteries upon him, they court proseca- ton and damage suits. Never was a man more clcVerly and relentlessly lampConed and oaricatured. We can imagine nothing more salutary for the Philadelphia press than this expert cnce with an unrepublican and oppres- sive libel law. Public spirit and bold independence have not been qualities it has been able to boast Let us hope that after it has eXcoriated the gov ernor and trampled upon his libel law it will continue to make a courags cue use Of it's freedom.
 Jefferson said that he would rather live in a country with newspapers and without law than in one with law and without newspapers. \ child can see the acumep of this propositian. The GTaGy-Salus law is unenforceable un- der the American form of republican government. It passes comprehension that a governor who had been q judge could sign such a measure, and that Ia. governor who is historian could peruse it without indignation. The memorandum giving Governor Penny packers reasons for approving the bill displays such spleen and intolerance that in his case universal suffrage was failure.-New York Sun.

LITTLE COMEDY OF ERRORS.
Experience of q Detective in Pursuit of
 a Supposed Husband.


 Washingtonians who saw the late Stuart RObson's production Of the Comedy of Errors last winter doubt less wondered if such mix-ups Of per sons who look alike ever occur in real life. J. A. McDeviee relates an eXperi- ence as detective years ago which shows that they do. to a certain extent.
 An estimable woman of this city" said he. "after being courted for some time. was married to a man who had shown every sign of honorable char acter It turned out however. to be an unfortunate marriage for the young woman, for in two or three days after the wedding Ter husband gathered up all the money his wife possessed, to- gether with her diamonds and other jewelry, and unceremoniousiy de- camped. A day CT two after that I was in front Of police headquarters, then located on Eleventh street. talking over the circumstance with a brother of the unha ppy wife. when a man rode by on horseback.
 As quick as a flash the brother shouted out: There goes the man now
 Sure of ito said I.
 "'Td know him among a million, said the brother. That was enough for me I jumped on the box of a cab standing near the curbstone. l didn't knew who the owner was, but that made no difference to me. l followed the man on q horse. It was q black horse, and I could keep him in view very well. though he was at least two blocks ahead of me. Near the treasury department I overlook him. and ar rested him. He was very indignant, and refused at first to accompany me to the office. but I persuaded him that it would be better for him to do as l requested. When We reached head quarters. there the womans brother was waiting, and at once declared had his recreant brother-in-i in-law in custody.
 suddenly the man under arrest turned around and looked steadily in
 the face of his accuser. who gazing at him intently, cried out: By heaven. have made a mistake. That's not the man
 That ended the farce for a while l but the man I had arrested sued out a
 warrant for me, charging me with assault and battery. though l had not
 laid my hand on him, and the case was brought before old Squire Thompson
 It was amicably settled, however, and We became good friends.
 Only a week or so after this little | episode. the same man was walking along the avenue when a woman rushed up to him and seized him, at
 the same time crying out: Oh, you villain! I've caught you at last. have | r. Then. with her arms around him | to keep him from getting away, she looked closely in his face, and with a burst of tears, she said: oh, forgive
 me, sir, I have made a fearful mis- take, I beg your pardon.

KANSAS CITy,s DANGER

Kansas City. Mo-, June With gas and electric lights extinguished and water works shut down. and the city practically at the mercy Of the first fire that shall break out; with railroad transportation feeble and uncertain. Kansas City may, if the waters do not recede within the next two or three days, be compelled to fight for her very life. And tonight the skies are dark and lowering, the rain is falling heavi- ly, more stormy weather is sweeping up from the west and the unsuitable river is holding it's own. It is practically stationary tonight, but what the flood has it keeps and there is no certain promise Of when it will recede. The stage tonight is 34.9 against 8 feet this morning Chief Connor of the weather bureau says that while the outlook was for continued rains, it would necessi- tate a very heavy fall if the present high water is to continue. and whether this will come or not is something he cannot tell.
 The first authentic information from Kansas City, Kas., was received to- night. In that district 10000 people are homeless A number which cannot be estimated have been drowned and the property loss has been heavy. The sit uation there is a parallel to the situa- tion here, apparently no better and no worse.
 It is likely that the number of fatal.- ties in thecity will approximate fifty. Down in the wholesale district at dusk tonight people were waving white cloths to attract attention. The condi- tion of some of these is pitiable. They have been held prisoners for two days, threatened with death by drowning at one time, by fire, and for the most part without food. Every effort is being made and they all will be saved tomor- row unless the water rises more and this seems improbable.
 The financial damage is about as great now as it is likely to become un- less the water rises much higher than at present.

country we would have treated 1t and thought no more about it except to congratulate the patient in a few days on getting we'll. They don't care fcr the patient He is only specimen I heard a doctor say perfectly mechani- cally that he hoped a certain patient would die so that he might learn some fact from the autopsy.
 They call American surgeons copy ists. Wherever the charge is true. it is merely that Americans turn to practi-. cal service the theories they study. But undoubtedly the Germans are doing a great work. One man, it is reckoned. has added 30000 years 10 human life by his discoveries. There is no com mercial end for them to gain, so that their work, their science. must be theiI, only aim
 The difference aptly illustrates the general difference between our ''practi- cal'' ways and the ways of German learning.
