Physicians insist that after reaching
the age of forty the majority Of men
and women eat much more meat than
is good for them. This is hard upon
those who are accustomed to eating
too much of that staple article Of diet
and are fond of it, but it is said that
a little self denial will prove that the
effort is worth Il trial. Do not stop II

Nose Lore,

The classic Greek nose has been re-
garded ns the ideal shape. though there
are Roman, Caucasian. Mongolian and
Ethiopian noses, each indicating pc
culiar type of mental trait. Generally
speaking, thick and fiat noses denote
material instincts, and turned up noses
vanity. Wide nostrils are sign Of
strength. while small nostrils indicate
weakness. Napoleon's knowledge OF
human nature made him select geneP
ais with large noses. for this betokens
intelligence, just as the eagle nose
shows firm, strong will. Possibly no
nose speaks louder for itself than the
alcoholic nose, and it is as much to be
feared as the pointed nose and chin,
which In conjunction proclaims general
wickedness. Certainly the most inter.
estlng nose is the cogitative. for it ex-
pands with thought. which comes. ac-
cordlng to rhlnology, or the science of
nose reading. from reflection. In
stances Of these noses from Homer to
Wesley and Shakespeare can be quoted.

sIsabelIa CoIorv

Isabella color" has been described
as a dlngy whitish yellow. The origin
Of the term is certainly an odd one. II
either Of the generally given eXplana-
tons Is correct. According to one sto-
~, Isabella. daughter of Philip II. and
wife Of the Archduke Albert, vowed
not to change her linen till Ostend was
taken. Most unfortunately for the roy
al lady the siege lasted for three years
The supposed color Of the archduchess'
linen at the end of this trying ordeal is
said to have become the fashion. The
other explanation is a similar one. but
the story is made to relate to Queen
Isabella of Spain and the siege Of Gra-
NADIA. When we consider the length Of

wildly improbable as would at first ap-

In Crossing the Clearwater.
At a meeting of the commercial
club last evening, Secretary Green

of the o. r. & N. company. relative
to the plans of the company for the
new bridge which is to be constructed

osition would be considered by the
company for a joint bridge, to be
used as a wagon and railroad bridge
says the Lewiston Tribune.
The matter came up for discussion
informally among the club members
present, and it developed that there
was considerable sentiment in favor
of the action taken. While II is moi
known whether the o. r. & N. would
consider the proposition, it was deem

Knife Blades.

Pocketknife blades are very unevenly
tempered. Even In so called standard
cutlery some blades are hard and some
are soft. For the latter there Is no
remedy. but the temper Of hard blades
can easily be drawn slightly. Take a

the blade that is TO be drawn bright
and hold It on the poker for a moment.
When the color runs down to violet

THE MAGICIAN'S THUMB.
II Is His Worst Enemy In SIeight OF

Hand Tricks.
In every sort of magic the magician's
thumb is his worst enemy, says Nina
Carter Marbourg In Leslie's Weekly.
If he could strike off that thumb and
still have its assistance when neces-

closing the hand the thumb usually
bends toward the palm in advance Of

Of The hand.
Cards are invariably the beginning
Of a magiclan's education. In handling
cards the thumb is especially in the
way. and this is the reason why this
trlckery with the pasteboards is Sc
lected for the beginner. To change one
card for another in front of ones very
tible movement of the hand is n trick
that beginners learn TO perform before
they have been In the school for any
great length of time. This, as may he
imagined. is difficult piece Of WORD to
become proficient in. and here is just
the place where determination plays Il
great part in success.

I LEGISLATIVE RECORDS.

The recent death of David wark at
the age of 1O1 years, the Oldest Iegis-
lator both in years and in term of
service in the world. has started some
Investigations along that line. Mr.
Wark was first elected to the New
Brunswick legislature in 1871. He
served there until 1867. when he was
named senator. As senators are
selected for life in Canada. he of course
held the office until his death. making
a record of continuous service of sixty
four years in the two houses.
No one has arisen to dispute the
claim OF Mr.. warl1's friends that he
holds the record for length of service
but some other very remarkable terms
are mentioned. For instance. one man
represented the same constituency in
the British parliament for sixty three
years. This was c. p Villiers Mr.
Villiers was first elected from VOL
northampton in 1885 and served his
people without interruption until jan
uary 16, 1898, when ne died. SO while
Mr.. Wark exceeded Mr.. ViIIiers by one
year. the latter's service was confined
to one branch of government and in
volved periodical reflections.
Attention is called. too. to the career
OF Mr.. Gladstone. He was elected first
in 1892 and resigned in 1895. Mr. Glad
stones service, however, was not con-
tinuous- Nor did he serve the same
constituency throughout his public
career. Several times Mr.. Gladstone
made, or was compelled to make,
changes. SO his record in this respect
cannot be compared with that OF Mr.
Vnliers.
And ViIliers was in politics when
Gladstone was a boy at school. At the
age of twenty-four, in 1926, he was a
candidate for the house of commons,
but was beaten. The Villiers record for
continuous service has never, unless
some fault was made in a search that
extended over aearly two centuries Of
English history, been equaled. And the
chances are that it never win be
equaled, either in England or else
where.
In the United States the men who
have served continuously in one house
Of congress for thirty years may be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
And they are now all far beyond the
point where they can reasonably expect
many more years OF life.

EoLK AND THE LAW.

Governor Folks reply to the request
Of an association of beer wagon drivers
that he refrain from enforcing the law
against the open Sunday saloon in
Missouri is worth reading, as most of
Governor Folks utterances are He
said, in part:
1T is my sworn duty to execute the
laws, and If every man, woman and child
IN the state were to protest against the
dramshOD law l would still enforce it
where / have the power to do so, because
u would be my duty.
But the majority Of the people OF this
state want the law enforced. Were this
law. for laws are put upon the statute
books for some purpose. AS governor
must either stand for the law or against
the law must either Observe the oath
I have taken or break II.
And 1 say to you as long as am gov
ernor 1 am going to do my best to uphold
the law and to keep my official oath in
violate No reasonable man could expect
anything else of an executive official
How simply, vet how effectively, the
governor puts the case, His is not the
statement OF a politician. He does not
evade the issue. More, he is not, as so
many of our public men are. long on
words and short on deeds. He has al
ready enforced the Sunday closing act
and he says quite simply that he IS
going TO keep on enforcing it. He does
not attempt to pass on the wisdom or
unwisdOm of the law: he does not ask
who Il helps or who it hurts 1t is the
law and because it is the law he says
it must be enforced as long as he oc-
cupies the executive Office.
In the same letter Governor Folk
makes another effective point. The
man who sent the communication Of
the beer wagon drivers to the governor
told him that he (the sender) was a
union man, perhaps in the hope Of in
fluencing a favorable verdict. Says the
governor:
II observe you are a wor<ingman and
a union man. o The labOring man
should be the last TO stand against The
enforcement OF law. All he has to pro-
tect him IS the law. a man of wealth
can secure what he wants through the
magic OF gold but the laboring man must
depend ON his ballot and the laws that
are made in accordance with his ballot"
IS Nothing could be truer The labor
ing man should respect the law because
the law is his only protection. If he
stands against law enforcement he
cannot Justly complain because his en-
ployer disregards the law. There is no
more justification for lawbreaking by
labor than by capital because both,
especially labor, must look to the law
for the enforcement Of its rights.
