One who observes closely boasts that
he can tell woman's character from
her walk. A listless way of lifting ones
feet Indicates a lazy disposition. A
shuffiing, dragging step denotes indo-
lence of mind and body. A heavy, fiat
footed walk means a good housekeeper
and an aggressive nature. He further
asserts that the woman who likes mar
Bfsh shoes and boots is never dainty or
feminine, and that the ideal woman
wears pretty shoes IN the street and
dainty slippers in the house.

Miss Ella Lawless occupies a unique
 position in marine affairs She is the
 proprietor of dry dock and shipyard
 in Jersey City, and is carrying on the
 business founded by her father. who died about five years ago. She is the only woman in this country, if not in the world, conducting dry dock busi- pess. She is making a success of it, for she is equipped with executive ability, courage, business tact and last but not least, personal magnetism, and thoroughly understands all the details of her unusual calling. Miss Lawless was born in New York state in town near Syracuse, and comes of revolu- tionary stock. One of her ancestors served throughout the war for inde- pendenee under Washington. Her fa- ther took prominent part in the civil war. She is charter member of the Order of the Eastern Star, and is ac- lively affiliated with other fraternaI societies. Miss Lawless resides in Union Hill, N. J., and is prominently identified with the social and chari- table life of the town. l

 Miss Harper had ideas of her own on the question of the word ''obey" in the ritual of the church, and decided that for her it should be eliminated
 She found a friend fn Rev. Maxwell GIaddis. assistant pastor of Morris chapel.

An orchid which for 50 years has bafied all the attempts of collectors to find its native haunts has been re- discovered. This orchid is the cypri- pedium Fairiesnum, which is one of a random collection made iu Assam in 1857, sent to London in the same year and bought by Mir. Fairie. of Liver pool, in whose possession 1t bloomed and was daily hailed and described in orchid literature as one of the most beautiful orchids hitherto known. Sev- eral other plants of the same orchid came with 1t, and the species was at once named Fairieanum, after MT. Fairie.
 From the day of it's first discovery, in spite of scores of expeditions and perilous journeys by collectors, not single plant was found until some member of the Thibet expedition, a fev months ago. discovered a whole bunch of the plants. He sent them along 10 Calcutta, whence two were dispatched to Ker. and others are gradually coming through to England.

WAS NOT HALF THROUGH
Darky Pursued by Ghost Was Go- ing to Make Better
 Time.

Two men in a southern town, get ting into an argument made wager that one of them could not hire a darky to stay all night in we'll known haunted house, which no one would occupy.
 Hunting up strapipng negro, the man offered him s to stay in the house during the night, keeping awake all of the time.
 The negro entered the place in the evening and kept walking back and forth to keep from going to sleep. Promptly on the stroke of midnight the ghost appeared. Unlike most ghosts, this one was pleasant and af- fable and, seeing the man, said:
 "Ah, good evening; 1t seems there will be two of us here tonight"
 With bulging eyes and dropping jaw the other managed to stammer: "Y-y-yas sah, b-b-but dey won't be long"
 And suiting the action to the words he went out of the house and down the road as hard as he could run, with the ghost in close pursuit When completely out of breath, the darky sat down by the roadside to rest, and the ghost, coming up, blandly re- marked: That was very pleasant run we had just now"
 And the darky replied: "Yas. sah but it ain't-nufin-to de one we'se-going ter hab."

Is there any way of accounting for the propensity manifested by a large number of people to kill something for the sake of killing it? It is not inherit- ed from our savage ancestors. says the Washington Post. They tortured and killed their enemies. but never slew wild animals except for use, and never more than were needed. Civilized man, so-called. however, goes out into the woods and fields with murder in his heart and calls it sport. Nothing is cun- ming enough to keep out of his way. nothing so innocent, harmless or beauti- full as to escape his thirst for slaughter. and very little that swims, flies or runs is too small for him to hunt down.

One bitter cold night recently sol emn-faced man drove up to tavern near Westchester and made his way to the sitting-room after seeing that his horse was taken to the stable. relates the New York Press. There was a large crowd of guests huddled around the stove and he had to take a distant seat where it was not much warmer than outside. As soon as waiter ap- peared the man said:
 Get two dozen oysters on the half shell and take them out to my horse"
 When the waiter passed through the room on his way to the stable every body but the new guest followed him to see the remarkable horse feed on raw oysters. In few moments the disgusted crowd, headed by the waiter, returned to the room to find the own CT of the horse comfortably seated by the stove.
 "The horse wouldn't look at the oys- ters," said the waiter.
 ''I didn't think he would" replied the man. Hand them to me and bring me bottle of ale"
