AGE TOLD BY FIGURE.
Ohio State Journal.

i
The woman who follows an outdoor sport is
usually. very graceful woman. She who COLTS
racket, or who swings the croquet mallet, is the
woman who is graceful and supple. Men are
as rule, much more graceful than women, be
cause men are out In the open air more than
women and are more active
The woman who takes to the rockingham at
8 o'clock in the morning, and who sits all day
getting out for only few minutes, is not the
woman who will preserve her figure. At 4e
will look great deal older.

when one Of these persistent chaps
comes into the office looking for
work." said man who employs much
unskilled labor, "the only way to get
rid of him, if you do not need his
services, is to yell at him with all your
lung power. If you say in very civil
tones that you have nothing for him
today he may only stand staring at
you and perhaps repeat the question.
But If you rise up in your chair, glare
savagely at him, and shout in your
flercest tones, he is pretty likely to go
on about his business. Does such a
reception hurt his feelings? Not at
all.
"In this connection it is astonishing
how many names there are that are
alike in a gang of workmen. I didn't
realize the fact until the other day,
when I was down in the yards watch

HAD A KING I'm HOOK"
PatagonIan Monarch, Suite and Yellow
Dog on Ellis Island.

New York Tribune.
Hail to the chief and his court sin hook"
on Ellis island, and also to his dog. G'Gou!
Sircacho of Patagonia, five of his faithful
followers, his queen and the princess,
K'chou (not Sneeze), are held on Ellis
island until their ger, Vincent Crane.
can find the funds for their transporta-
ton to the Patagonian village at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition.
G'Gou, the dog, is Of the ''yaller'' va
riety. He shares his feas with King SIR
cacho, who loves the dog, he says, almost
to let him out Of his sight. In the day
the dog sleeps and scratches in the king
arms, and makes GGou eyes at his mas
ter, and at night he serves as the royal
pillow.
All Of the party, which arrived on the
Cedric yesterday, are giants, the queen,
the shortest by several inches, standing a
good five inches above six feet. The men
are all nearly seven feet tall and finely
proportioned If washed, they would be
handsome savages. Over bright red UNI
derwear they wear much-soiled guanaco
| skins with the hairy side turned in. On
their feet they wear square pieces Of skin,
gathered in and tied at the ankles with
| rawhide thongs. The hair is worn long
| and tied In a single scalplock. Across the
| forehead, drawn level with the eyebrows,
a dirty white cloth is tied, turbanwise.
When the party was taken to Ellis island
| it was found that the manager did not
have the funds necessary to insure that
they would not become public charges
and the savages will be kept on the island
until Crane receives money enough tc
get them out Of pawn, which he expects to
do soon
When King Sercacho and the dog of un-
certain ancestry, with the rest Of the
party, first reached the island, Commits
sioner Williams ordered them photo
graphed, and found that while Patago-
MAN may be driven to photographer he
can't be photographed. AS soon as the
savages saw the camera they decided that
| 1t was 'bad medicine" and wrapped theil
! faces in the skins to protect themselves
from the evil eye. Then Commissioner
Williams thought they might want tc
battle, so he had the party taken into the
bathrooms. AS soon as they saw the run.

Kite flying has become a science In
America, and kites from being a boys toy
have become the instruments Of the me-
teorologist. But it is in China that kite
flying is a national pastirne and kite man

the Museum Of Natural History has re-
GENTLY received a collection of wonderful

kites fantastic, such as have never before

monumental articles Of plain paper, with
their homely rag tails. which they have

The Chinese kites express the national
Chinese desire to make everything beauti-
full. They are made on frames Of
bamboo sticks, covered with rice paper
and painted in bright colors, and assume
a great many varieties of picturesque
shapes Many are double-that is, they
link perhaps the figure Of a well-knowr
actor with that of his favorite part.

surprise at my audacity and declared
that they knew nothing or didn't
want to discuss it. / made bold to
ask one merchant, the proprietor of
a large drygoods importing house, if
he was afraid to talk about the Malta.
He looked at me intently moment,
then laughed Unfortunately and said,
Foolish, foolish as he walked out
of the room, leaving me alone. His
conduct was typical.
There was but one Italian who
would talk of the Malta to me. He
was Dino c. Speranza, lawyer, who
is member Of the board of directors
of the State Prison association of New
York. What he said, however, was
merely matter of history, which,
however, he happens to be particu-
larly well acquainted with.
Originated in Sicily.
Sicily" said Mr.. Speranza, sis the
only place where the Malta ever did
exist, or does now. I should call it
a sort of Tammany Hall in it's worst
form and dealing with its own prob
lens in it's own way. It is largely
confined to Palermo and does not as
simulate except in extreme cases. It
is more political than criminal and
it's members.
'"The most notorious evidence show
ing the nature of the Malta came to
light two years ago in Sicily in the
Palizzolo trial. Ten years ago Signor
NotarbartOlo, a governor of the Bank
of Sicily, discovered certain frauds on
the part of a brother governor, PaliZ-
zolo, and sent secret report to the
| minister of commerce. A few days
| later he was surprised to hear his re-
| port read at a meeting Of his board.
1t had mysteriously disappeared from
the department and found it's way
| into the hands Of the incriminated
governor.
"A week or two passed and Notar-
bartolo's body was found, with a score
of wounds on it, by the side of the
railway, twenty miles out of Palermo.
The police, it has since been proved,
had very strong evidence that the
murder had been committed by GER
tain notorious nlafiosi,' and Palizzo-
los relations with the Malta Were
deputy, and not long after he was
| given a ribbon by Di Rudini.
"The bank scandals at Rome and
Naples had lately shocked all Italy,
and the swindlers who had plundered
the bank of Sicily dreaded what might
come to light if Notarbartolo's muir
derers were brought to justice. They
had the ear Of the government and
the evidence was suppressed. The
murder was hushed up, and it was
not until six years after that the per-
severance Of the murdered mans sons
compelled the authorities to bring
PaliZzolo and his confederates to JUS
tice. It was with difficulty that con-
viction was had"
