IT, said gentleman whose forte

could not gain a clue to the true na-
ture of man in any othe.. way. l
should wait until | heard him laugh.
He might alter his expression, his
voice. and his manner. but his laugh
would infallibly betray his inner seis.
Laughter, in fact. gives marvellous
insight into character. II there "
anything false. weak or malicious Ia
a man IL always discloses itself In thiz
direction. and we have the inane 'tes.
hee' of the feeble-minded, the harsh.
grating laugh of the coarse. sordid ma
ture. and the half-suppressed chuckls
of the plotter.
1T is the more curious, because
crafty people often laugh to coysJ
their real feelings, but to the acute
ear the false note is readily apparent,
whether the laugh be real or assumed
Frank, honest laughter is a sign OF

FutlIIty Of Corporal Punishment.

Flogging is still allowed In English

statistics make it doubtful whether
even in these extreme cases corpora,
punishment serves the purpose for
which 1t is intended. 1t is shown that
since the number of prison offenses
for which fiogging was allowed was
reduced in 1898, the number of of

decreased from 147 to 131 per 1000

New WAYS to whIten ree,h.

Up-to-date dentists have several
new wrinkles for whitening and pol
ishing the teeth.
One of these is to first dip the brush
into salty water and then apply the
powder, which should be of the finest
quality. After three or four minutes
brushing rub little dry salt over the
teeth. and in time they will become
perceptbly whiter. If you want to
nave teeth like polished ivory. take q
piece of chamois skin. dip 1t In lemon
juice and rub the teeth until they are
hot to the touch.

HE MPOSITE
BY GRAHAM NoRrI
copyrighted by Ia. Au,AO-. ruoi.AiDg Company

John Patterson was in love. No un-
usual thing in the case OF a good d-look-
ing young fellow of five and twenty.
But strangely enough he had never
yet seen the lady of his heart
One evening he was carelessly turn.
ing the leaves of his sisters photo
graph album, scanning each face with
the glance of connoisseur. He
stopped and gave his undivided atten-
tion to a page from which a pair of
eyes looked straight into his own.
The picture was finished in style
unfamiliar to him. A soft. dreamy
haze surrounded the featmes, making
them doubly alluring; but what at
tracted him most was the clear eyes.
They were not quite like any others
he had seen before.
1t was love at first sight. or. tc be
more exact. before first sight
Naturally he wanted to learn all
about the unknown girl without arous-
ing suspicion. His sister, to whom
his sffectedly careless inquiries were
addressed, with a womans intuition in
such matters, and with an equally
feminine delight in tantalizing a man
suspected of being in love. was most
provokingly obtuse to his clumsy sub
terfuges and strategems. And when
at last, in sheer desperation, he open
ly asked the lady's name, she dis
played an innocent surprise, and. after
batting him to her hearts content, left
him with no better satisfaction than a
vague promise of an Introduction at
some future time.
This was poor consolation to John
but 1t was the best he could get. And
so. consumed with love and curiosity,
he passed his days in suspense.
One thing. however, he secured, that
was at the same time joy and a vexa-
tion to him, namely the picture
itself
1t was given the place OF honor
among his most cherished posses
sions, and She became at once the
goal and the center of his thoughts.
And now began a season of misery
for John Patterson.
He had confided his secret to his
most intimate associate, Harry Fol-
iansbee. Harry prided himself on be-
ing a second Sherlock Holmes. and
many were the plans that he laid with
Ills " hioSoNti idthtity
but all came to naught. At the end of
three months the unknown still re-
mained obstinately unknown. They
had not even been able to find out
whether or not She was resident OF
the city.
The strain began to tell on John.
He lost his appetite and grew hollow
eyed. and when in Mans presence he
threw out hints of declining health.
Whether or not these tactics were
instrumental in bringing matters to
crisis he could not tell; but one after
noon just as Harry Follansbee was
leaving his bank, he met John in a
high state of excitement. His sister
had at last relented. She was to give
whist party that evening. at which,
to his inexpressible joy. she assured
