NATAL AUTOGRAPHS.
Sign Manual of the Child that Does
Not Change In Life.

There is born with everyone of us
and continues unchanged during our
lives an unfailing and ineradicable
mark or marks, which absolutely dis
tineuish each one Of us from every
other fellow being. These physical
marks never change from the cradle
to the grave. This born autograph Is
impossible to counterfeit. and there
is no duplicate Of it among the teem-
ing billows in the world Look at the
insides OF your hands and the soles Of
your feet; closely examine the ends of
your fingers. You see circles and
curves and arches and whorls, some
prominent with deep corrugations,
others minute and delicate. but all a
we'll defined and closely traced pat
tern. There is your physiological
signature.
Run your fingers through your hair
and press finger tips on a piece Of
clear glass. You will see all the deli
cate tracing transferred-not two fin
gers alike. Even "the left hand know
eth not what the right hand doeth.'
They are distinctly different. Even
twins may be so little different in
size, features and general physical
condition as to be scarcely distin-
guishable, yet their finger autographs
are radically different.
In fact, in all humanity every being
carries with him on his baby fingers
and his wrinkled hand Of decrepit old
age the Identical curves, arches and
circles that were born with him. Moth
ing except dismemberment can oblit-
crate or disguise them. Criminals may
burn and scar their hands, but nature,
when she restores the cuticle, invaria-
bly, bringS back the natal autograph.

Both Were Barbarous.

Professor Starr, the famous ethnol-
ogist. was in his humorous and whim-
steal way accusing women Of barbar-
ism, says the New York Tribune.
"And she is not only barbarous-
she is illogical and inconsistent,' he
exclaimed.
"I was walking in the country one
day with a young woman. In grove
we came upon boy about to shin up
tree. There was a nest in the tree
and from a certain angle it was pos
sible to see in it three eggs.
" you wicked little boy said my
companion, 'are you going up there
to rob that nest?'
- I am,' the boy replied coolly.
" How can you?' she exclaimed.
Think how the mother will grieve
over the loss Of her EGGS
'' 'Oh, she won't care,' said the
boy. She s up there in your hat. ; .

NAPoLEON'S ESCAPES.
Reckless Of Danger, the Great Soldier
Was Often Wounded.

In reply to the question in what en-
gaeements. he considered himself to
have been in the greatest danger Of
losing his life Napoleon once said,
'In the commencement Of my cam
paiens.' Indeed, if further proof
were demanded to show that he did
not spare himself at Toulon: it is only
necessary to add that during the ten
weeks of its seige Napoleon. in addi-
ton to bayonet wound in his thigh,
had three horses shot under him. while
at the siege of Acre during the expedi-
ton to Egypt he lost no fewer than
four in the same manner.
During the last days Of his life.
when captivity. disappointment and
sickness had we'll nigh completed their
work. it is said that the agony Of his
fatal disease drew from him Oh many
occasions the pitiful cry Of. "Why
did the cannon balls spare me?"
During his long military career Ma
poleon fought sixty battles, while
Caesar fought but fifty. In the early
part of his career he was utterly reck-
less Of danger while on the battlefield.
and this spirit Of fearlessness contrib
uted largely to the love and esteem in
which he was held by his armies.
There was curious belief among the
English in Napoleon time that he
had never been wounded, and indeed
the report was current that he care
fully if not in cowardly manner re-
Trained from exposing himself. Moth
ing could be more contrary to the
truth, for he was in reality several
times severely wounded. but as he
wished to impress upon his troops the
belief that good fortune never desert
ed him and that, like Achilles. he was
we'll nigh invulnerable, he always
made a secret Of his many dangers.
lie therefore enjoined once for all
upon the part Of his immediate staff
the most absolute silence regarding all
circumstances of this nature, for it is
almost impossible to calculate the
confusion and disorder which would
have resulted from the slightest re-
port or the Smallest doubt relative to
his existence. Upon the single thread
of this mans life depended not only
tile fate and government Of great
empire, but the whole policy and des-
tiny Of Europe as we'll.

An Unscarred Veteran.

Some of the veterans tell me that
during the war some soldiers had pre-
monitions OF impending fate in bat
tle-could be seen in the faces and
demeanor-while others felt that they
would escape the casualties Of conflict.
Mr.. Joe Quattlebaum belonged to the
latter class. He was in service dur
ing the entire wal, and in those four
long years was at home only a few
days. He always believed, however,
that the enemy had never made bull
let that would hurt him, and so it
turned out. He often heard their
music about his ears, and sometimes
they passed through his hair and clo-
thing, but he always came out Of con-
hict unscathed. He participated in a
great many skirmisles and battles;
and one day at home while at leisure.
and thinking of his war experience,
decided to make a record Of part Of
that experience. Accordingly he pre-
pared list of the engagements in
which he figured; and the date when
he entered service and the time when
lie came home after the war. The
writer has seen that list and it is a
long one. His children feeling a just
and honorable pride in the soldierly
achievements of their father, have
framed this memento Of chivalrous
daring, and it now hangs in Mr..
Quattlebaum's home.
We are proud Of the loyalty and de-
votion and unsurpassed heroism Of the
Confederate soldier.

SHE HAD HER SAY.
A Girls Revolt Against an Award
Of Valedictory Honors.

New York Press.
II think the greatest shock [ ever
experienced and the biggest revolt
against my discipline occurred when |
was teaching in a country high
school, said the schoolteacher. 'lt
was in a school where the valedicto.
honor was awarded by popular vote
of the school, most unjust method,
by the way. but one to which / was
forced to succumb. The girl who re-
ceived the most votes was by no means
the best scholar. and the pupil who
ranked highest in scholarship was
plainly indignant.
"Every boy and girl in the class
was obliged to write and read grad
uation essay, and it was my task to
look these essays over and aid in the
rewriting Of them. The pupil who
ranked the highest in the class hand
ed in her essay to me with some def
ance. and in it I found some refer
ence to the valedictory honor being
rightly hers. 7 cut it out and told her
plainly that nothing Of that sort
should 60 into her paper. She agreed
to leave it out.
1.-THE graduation exercises were
passing off splendidly when it came
her turn to read her essay. She had
a facile way Of writing. and I was
proud of her, but when she reached
what I knew was the conclusion she
stepped forward a little and proceed
ed to deliver two pages Of regulation
valedictory. She bade farewell to the
class, the school and the teachers, and
Of course we could not stop her It
took all the sails out Of the chosen
valedictorian, who followed, and after
the exercises there was much wailing
and hot words. We couldn't do a
thing. as the sinner was now a grad
uate Of the school, and we had no
right to punish her, but it took me all
summer to get over the effect of such
a stunning performance
