SIGNS OF CHARACTER.
How You May Know Men by Hand Shake, Cast
of Eye and Pose of Head.

! The "character reading" of DIR.
Charles +. Boyer, as demonstrated in
Chicago, recently, to the Credit Mems
Association, is to be given full test
by the Association.
have been close student OF
character for forty years." said DIR.
Boger. My assertions are not theo-
ries but facts that any one can demon.
strate by observation and patience.
"Of course, all men are liars, and it
is only in degree that they differ, but
in practical character reading which
the subject of my talk it is well 10
study the shades Of liars and be pre-.
pared for them.
"When stranger comes into your
Office always shake hands with him if
he will permit. If he offers the tips OF
his fingers tell him that you have not
time to talk with him, and don't
bother to give him a second look. If
he lets you shake his hand, Offering no
responsive pressure, beware of him. If
he rests his thumb forcibly on the
back OF your hand you may depend
upon it that he is all right and good
for anything you can persuade him to
buy.
"Here are my rules in condensed
form:
1.-The man who never presses his
thumb against yours when handshak.
ing is stingy, and the higher he keeps
his thumb the stinger he is.
"a man who shakes hands with the
tips of his fingers only is not to be
trusted-he may pay one debt, but he
will never pay the second.
When a man gives you a listless
and lifeless hand, which you have to
shake, beware.
"iou can tell liar as far as you
can see him by watching his eyelids.
Ii the eyelid cuts off the eye at the
outside corner, dropping over it, the
possessor is a stranger to the truth.
"The persons who show white all
the way around the eyeball are per-
sons who prevaricate.
"In judging women, the essential
things to be observed are the lips and
eyes-pay no attention even to powder
and rouge in your estimate of female
character. The woman with thin
upper lip is not only coldhearted, but
clsmmy.
"If woman's eyelid cuts off the
eye at the corner she is liar like q
man with the corresponding eyelid.
I" If she has white all the way around
her eye. she does not tell the truth.
beware of the person man or wo.
man, who does not look you straight
in the eye.
Courage and force of character are
shown by the person who walks with
his head held up in the air.
"The strongest characters usually
have blue eyes"
Some Of the phrases of which DR..
Boyer delivered himself were:
Twentieth century methods of dis
pensing justice usually consist, first,
in ascertaining the defendants condi
ton. If rich he is a kleptomanisc.
If poor. thief.
Dishonesty exists not SO much
from a desire to possess MS from the
inability to resist that desire.
"A man is great because he is born
great.
"a born criminal never feels re.
moree.
"a good bit Of philosophy to keep
the poor contented is this: 1T is
easier not to want the things you
want than il is to get them.'"

A Valuable Investment.

Here is still another Peekskill story,
which, needless to say, is vouched for
as are all such tales, by Senator De.
pew. A farmer from the back coun.
try was visiting a store in Peekskill.
The storekeeper urged him to buy a
bicycle. Its advantages were enumer'
ated.
"But I'd sooner put that money
into a cow" said the farmer.
"But just think" said the store.
keeper, chow foolish you would look
riding about town on q cow"
"Well, yes" said the farmer; "but
no more foolish, l reckon, than I'D
look milking a bicycle"

placed at about S6J00O,000. If that
were an accurate figure, it must now
aggregate at least $l00,O00,O0O. The
combined Astor fortune thus in.
creases with accelerated momentum.
1t fifteen or twenty years, at the pres
ent rate Of progress, it will have
reached the billion mark. And then
it will go on even faster, until the
ordinary mind is appalled, at the
portentons figures. We have seen
that the - 100000 invested by John
Jacob has multiplied at least 200
times in 100 years. 1t has reached, at
a conservative estimate. Si50,O00 900.
If the same rate be maintained for
another century, the Astor fortune
will attain the unimaginable total of
eighty billions. We stand aghast at
such a possibility, but not more so
than would have John Jacobs con.
temporaries had they foreseen the
present reality. In 1880 John Jacob
Astor was the only man in New York
who was worth million dollars.

NEED TO SAVE THE CLAM.
Another Industry" That Needs Immediate
Protection.

Another Industry" That Needs Immediat,
Protection.
No work of the Hon. Geo. l.. Davis
in the Legislature will be OF more gen.
eral permanent value than his in pro.
tecting the luscious clam from extinc.
ton. How necessary this is can be
determined by the remarks of the
State Game Warden in his report. On
the subject OF CLAIMS he says:
Each year the CLANS are becoming
OF more importance on our markets.
The demand is growing rapidly and
the pupply is decreasing still more
rapidly. In Bellingham, Seattle and
Tacoma only the little neck" or
"hard shell clam is found on the mar
Fet to any extent. These are dug
mostly by the Indians from the grav.
ely beaches and sold to the dealers
who pay from $lOO to $l.25 per sack.
One Indian will dig from one to three
sacks on tide.
Around Olympia both the "little
neck" aud the butter clam" are used
extensively. Many of these are dug
by the whites who find this profitable
employment. The large Washing
ton clam" formerly 80 abundant, is
still used very largely by those living
near the beaches, but it is not found in
the markets and i'll many places where
1t was once abundant it is hardly
known now. The Eastern clam" is
now found on nearly all our beaches
that are adapted TO it, and in many
places reaches considerable size. 1t
will sooner or later find place ON our
markets. On Willapa Harbor it is
used almost to the exclusion of all
other CLANS except the "razor clam"
This latter is found along the clean,
hard, sand beaches, and by many is
considered the best of all our clans.
They are seldom seen on our markets,
probably because the shells are so
fragile that it is difficult to ship them.
They are found on the Portland mar.
kets, however, where there is good
demand for them.
The large "goeduck" is fast becom-
ing thing of the past. In former
years, specimens weighing six pounds
or more were not uncommon, but only
occasionally are specimens of any size
found now. We have too long as
sumed that the supply of CLAIMS was
inexhaustible, but wherever the dig
ging has been carried on at all exten.
sively. the fallacy of this assumption
is quickly shown. Not only are tho
"gOeduck" and the Washington
clam" fast disappearing. but the razor
clam" is particularly quick to show
the effects of over.fishing. Even the
abundant "little necks" and "butter
clans" are yearly becoming less abun-
dant; many beds that were once won
derfully productive. yielding little or
nothing at present.
Unless some protection is afforded
this industry, in the near future, it
will soon be in such depleted condi.
ton that it will take years to bring it
back to anything like it should be.
On the other hand, if it is properly
protected, it will soon rank high
among our fisheries.
