MEANING OF MoLES.

On the right side OF the upper lip
a mole promises great good fortune to
both sexes.
A mole on the neck, in man or wom-
an, promises a long and happy life,
wealth and fame.
A science, or pseudo-science, or
moles has existed among the Pennsyl-
vania Dutch for many years.
A man with mole ia the middle OF
his forehead has a cruel mind; a wom-
an with such. mole is foolish, idle and
envious.
A man with a mole on the left side
Of the upper lip rarely marries. and
such mole in the case Of a woman
denotes suffering
A mole on the right side Oh mans
forehead denotes wonderful luck; on
the right side of woman's forehead,
gifts from the dead.
On the left side of mans forehead
q mole denotes a long term in prison;
on the left side of a woman's forehead,
t~o husbands, and life of exile.
According 10 this science. no one Is
without a mole or two. and these are
some of the representations that
mole-wearers may draw from their
brown ornaments.

Participate.

New York. - The largest fleet
Of battleships, armored cruisers and
torpedo craft ever assembled under
the American flag will pass in review
before President Roosevelt in the wa.
tiers of Oyster Bay, September 3. In
addition to all the battleships in the
Atlantic fleet, under Rear Admiral
Evans, four of the new ships, all of
them larger and more powerful than
any in Admiral Evans fleet, will be in
line. The four armored cruisers now
being made ready for the Asiatic serv-
ice will be REINFORCED by the cruisers
Washington and Tennessee. The Ten.
nessee was put in commission last
week. The Washington will be com.
missioned this week
The navy department has been at
work for weeks perfecting the plans
for the review. Admiral Evans will
be in command. his flag flying from
the Maine. AS ii passes in review the
Maine will be followed by the Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Kearsarge, Indiana
and Iowa in the order named. The
last four ships comprise the second
squadron of the battleship division of
the Atlantic feet.
Louisiana May Head Division.
The order in which the four new
not been announced II is probable
that this division will be headed by
the Louisiana, which will be followed
by the Rhode Island, Virginia and New
Jersey. These four ships &C the finest
in offensive and defensive strength
ever commissioned for the United
States navy. Their appearance at
Oyster Bay will be the beginning OF
their services as ships of the fight
ing line.
All of the armored cruisers, with
the exception of the Brooklyn and the
New York, now in Asiatic waters,
probably will participate. The four
sister ships, the West Virginia, Colo
RADIO, Pennsylvania and Maryland,
which are under orders to proceed to
Asiatic waters to relieve the Ohio and
Wisconsin, will make their last APP
pearance in home waters for several
years to come. Immediately after the
review these ships, with Rear Admiral
Brownson in command, will start for
the far east.

viewed by the President are those in
the second and third fotillas of the

PHILOSOPHICAL POINTS.

The fatted calf never loves the
prodigal son.
Truth never runs around asking
people to believe it.
Alas, that fools are prosperous. Is
It their penalty or reward?
How many of us in listening to the
tomtoms forget the violins?
To think an original thought is to
take a step nearer the divine.
People who need to be continually
propped up are not worth the prop.
When men become suddenly good
they should be executed Immediately.
Ii is easier for some people to be-
lieve the impossible than the pos
sible.
Before ii was thrown down, the
Golden Calf had son, and 1t is still
mooing around the world.
1t is self-evident that to success
fully fathom the motives OF men one
must be a man himself. To an idiot
to a lunatic-all men are either
