HOLDING A CIGAR.
Points In a Mans Character the Act
Is Said to Disclose.

6o1ntS In Mans Character the Act
Is Said to Disclose.
Did you ever notice the different
ways men hold cigars or cigarettes?
Did you ever observe how you yourself
hold one?
There are about a dozen different
ways, and probably no two men hold
their cigars exactly alike.
A judge Of human nature may pick
up interesting points as to character
from watching smokers.
One man will hold his cigar firmly
between thumb and forefnger. He is
usually a resolute, tenacious man;
strenuous or merely phlegmatic, as the
case may be, but never lazy. His I'm
gers are stumpy.
Another man holds the cigar loosely
between his first and second fingers.
He is apt to be graceful, lazy, lrreso
lutte, a man Of artistic temperament,
but not hustler. His fingers are long
and tapering.
A third man will carry his cigar with
the lighted end turned in toward the
palm, the hand held scoop shape around
1t. He picked up that trick when
smoking on the sly as boy, fearing
papa might break suddenly into the
game. He is usually Of a secretive ma.
ture and not marked by any special
tendency to frankness. -
A fourth will hold his cigar awk.
wardly, nerveusly gripping it and often
staring at It inquisitively to see how II
is burning. He is not natural smok.
en-" nor is he apt to be what is known
as good fellow he is usually anx-
ious to concihate others and has not
great force Of character.
Watch the man behind the cigar and
see if all these character drawings are
not correct.-New York World.

DISCUSSES OF NATURE.
The Quality of Defense IL Found n
Every Animal. s<

The Quality OF Defense Ii Found IN
Every Animal.
By a decree Of nature one-half the
world fourishes at the expense Of the
other half. The sparrow chases the
butterfly, but the hawk chases the
sparrow. For the problem of life is
twofold. It is not enough merely to
eat. It is necessary to avoid being eat
en-. Yet nature detests killing for kill
ing's sake. Massacre forms no part OF
her great plan. So we see that every
creature is provided with some more
or less effective quality Of defense by
means Of which the attacks of it's nat
ural enemies are rendered less frequent
or less deadly.
Thus the antelope by means Of its
superior speed at times escapes from
the lion. The armadillo. rolled in its
wondrous coat of mail, lies secure
among score of hungry, gnawing
foes, while the white hare, scarcely
distinguishable from the snow on
which it crouches, is often overlooked
by his foe, the fox. But Of all creatures
none has received more ample protec
ton than the insects. Some of them
possess stings, others bite, and a few
puff out clouds Of poisonous vapor to
stupefy or blind their pursuers. Again,
there are insects clothed in impenera.
bic armor, insects covered with sharp
spines and prickles and others whose
means of defense consist in nothing
but likeness to the objects which sur.
round them.-Royal Magazine.

CANCELLED THEIR PROMOTION.
Postoffiee Department Does Away
With 5000 Clerks.

Washington, May 21.-The cancella-
ton of the promotions of over 5000
'postofice clerks throughout the coun-
try recently authorized by the depart
ment and a formal notice to former
First Assistant Postmaster-General
Perry S. Heath of the charges made
against him by ex-Cashier S. w. Tul-
loch, of the Washington city post
office, constituted yesterdays develop
ments in the postoffice investigation.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne, late yesterday afternoon re-
ported to Postmaster-General Payne
that the tabulatiOn of the clerks in
each grade in postofices of the first
class had been completed. This work
was undertaken in accordance with
the order made by the postmaster
general to rearrange the salaries OF
| the clerks already classified so that
the number in the several grades shall
| not exceed the number specifically
| prescribed in the act Of congress max
| ing appropriations for the postal ser
vice. The former classification was
made by George w. Beavers, just prior
to his sudden resignation as chief Of
| the division of salaries and allowances.
The new schedule approved by the
postmaster-general, after transferring
five per cent from grades where there
are vacancies. as authorized by re-
cent decision of the comptroller OF
the treasury, makes it necessary to
cancel 3,O46 promotions in the several
grades in which there is an, excess
| above the number to which the grades
are limited by law, and in which
grades 7.412 promotions have been
authorized heretofore. The report
says: 1T will not be necessary in any
case to reduce any clerk, but simply
to cancel 3,046 out of 7,412 promotions
heretofore authorized to take effect
July l, 1903. We will proceed at once
to ascertain exactly the number Of
promotions in each grade it will be
necessary to cancel at each pOstofice
and then will inform the postmasters
| and allow them to secure the increase
which must be cancelled"
Most of the excuses in the number
in the respective grades of clerks
scattered throughout the United
States at first-class presidential offices
are in the 5000 and $1,000 per annum
classes.
The, postmaster-general yesterday
, sent to Mr.. Perry Heath copy OF the
charges filed by Mr.. Tulloch, together

ton he may submit on the subject. It,
