Sign Manual of the Child That Does
Not Change In Life.
There is born with every one Of US
and continues unchanged during our
lives an unfailing and ineradicable
mark or marks, which absolutely dis
tinguish each one Of US from every OH
or fellow being. These physical marks
never change from the cradle to the
grave. This born autograph is impos-
plicate Of it among the teeming pillows
In the world. Look at the insides Of
your hands and the soles Of your feet;
closely examine the ends of your I'm
gers. You see circles and curves and
arches and whorls, some prominent with
deep corrugations. others minute and
delicate, but all a well defined and
closely traced pattern. There is your
physiological signature.
Run your hands through your hair
and press finger tips on piece Of clear
glass. You see all the delicate tracing
''the left hand knoweth 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 dis
tinguishable, yet their finger auto
graphs 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 ACKNOWLEDGMENT 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.

ANTIQUITY OF FISHING.
The Art of Angling Is as Old an the
Human

The Art of Angling Is as Old az the
Human Race.
The art of angling no doubt had its
origin in mans necessities. The earli-
est record of mankind makes reference
to the taking of fish for food. There
are frequent illusions to it In the Bible.
Job, in the Oldest book of all, says:
''Canst thou draw out leviathan with
hook or his tongue with cord which
thou lettest down? Canst thou put
book In his noseT Homer, In the
'.1liad," speaks of fishing In these lines:
Az bearing death in the fallacious bait,
From the bent angle sinks the leaden
weight.
And it Is recorded In the odyssey"
AZ when the angler. his long rod in hand,
On projecting rock assumes his stand.
Casts to the fiery fry the baited snare,
Then filings the wriggling captives in the
air.
The Romans, Greeks and other races
Of early days around the Mediterranean
practiced the art Of angling. Plutarch
tells Of prank played by the fair
Egyptian, Cleopatra, while out fishing
with Antony, They wagered on their
angling, and her divers did hang a
salt fish on his hook, which he with
feryor drew up"
The ruined walls of Herculaneum
and Pompeii abound in frescoes Of
fishermen. All along the track Of his
tory are found traces Of this gentle
recreation, showing the gradual i'm
provement from the hook of bone and
rude equipment Of the cave man to the
elegant accessories and belongings Of
the modern angler.

THE STOMACH.
How 1t L. Affected by the Use Of

How 1t L. Affected by the Use Of
Mixea Fatty Foods.
The stomach never has the least pow
er of digesting true fat This is dis
posed of in the intestines. When eat
en- In the ordinary forms, as fat meat,
butter, etc., the fat separates out in
the stomach and does not in the least
interfere with the work of the gastric
juice on the other food, but when a
nonfatty food has been intimately mix
ed with grease the latter prevents the
gastric juice getting at the food it
could digest. Fish fried in oil or but
ter is by no means the most marked
example, as the fat does not penetrate
very deeply. Potatoes mashed with
butter are rather worse, and minced
vegetables fried with butter are bad
offenders. The reason advanced ex-
plains why pork is difficult of diges-
ton. The muscular tibers are mixed
up with fat cells, and by the liberation
Of the oil in each tiny cell the eaten
pork Is made into an oily paste. A
very strong stomach will do the work
required, but it is not fair task to
impose frequently, and weak stom-
ach will refuse to do anything beyond
reminding its owner by a few stabs
that it will not stand such treatment.

HOW TO s1uo. PROPERLY.

Books Should BE Well Chosen and
Read Carefully, Not DevOuRed.
Study Is ike a dinner The viands
must be well chosen and. eaten slowly,
not devoured, then well turned over
In the mental stomach for awhile I'M
til with ease and comfort they are per-
fectly digested and furnish nutriment
to the brain Most students study
without thought, which is like eating
without digesting. Others read merely
rs a fad and soon forget all they may
have learned.
The most satisfactory method Of
study is the digestive. 1t Is the thor
pugh one-the one that gives strength
10 the brain. Take the subject you are
studying. Read a few lines or a few
pages, as the case may be, then put
the book down and think on what you
have read. Turn it about in your mind
from every standpoint. Do not accept
1t Immediately. Argue for and against
1t in your mind. In other words, masti-
cate it. You need not be at your leisure
to do this Do It in your walks, in your
idle moments, at any time. When you
have satisfied yourself on the subject
go ON with a little more in the same
way. In a short time you will find
yourself more thorough student than
IL you had read all at a sitting The
best educated man in the end is the
man who learns slowly, but surely.

NATURES CRUELTY.

The IchneumOn Fly Makes It's Hat

The ichneumon fly of Ceylon Is the
natural enemy of the spider. This in
sect is green In color, and In form re-
sembles a wasp with a marvelously
thin waist. 1t makes Its nest of wen
worked clay and then goes on a hunt
ing expedition. Its victims are In
variably spiders of various kinds, but
all are subject to the same mode Of
treatment A scientific sting injects
rome poison which effectually paralyzes
the luckless spider, which is then carried
on to the nest and there fastened with
dab Of moist clay Another and an
other victim is brought to this chamber
Of horrors. Then the president mother

eggs, one In the body of each spider.
which can just move Its legs In q vague.
aimless manner, but can offer no re-
sistance.
This done, the fly returns to her work
as mason. She prepares more clay
and builds up the entrance to this
CHASTITY cell. Then she commences a
new cell, which she furnishes In like
manner and then closes; then she adds
yet another cell and SO proceeds until
her store of eggs are all provided for.
and, her task in life being accomplished,
she dies, leaving her evil brood to hatch
at leisure. In due time these horrid liz
tie maggots come to life and find them
selves Graded in larder Of fresh meat.
Each poor spider is still alive, and his
juices afford nutriment for the ichneu-
mon grub till it is ready to pass in the
chrysalis stage, thence to emerge as a
winged fly fully prepared to carry out
the traditions Of its ancestors with re-
gard to spiders.

ERRORS OF SPEECH.


Common Abuse of the Verbs to Get,
10 Lay and to Lie.
The verb to get is one Of our much
misused words. 1t means to acquire,
win, obtain, and primarily it signifies
the putting forth of effort to attain
something. Consequently it is not only
superfuous, but incorrect, to speak Of
man as getting drowned" or "get-
ting SICK" and you may unfortunately
have cold" but it is impossible that
you have got cold" At this mo-
ment no exceptions occur to the writer
to the rule that got should never be
used In connection with have, which
alone sufficiently expresses possession.
Say Il have the picture" not 81 have
got the picture" 'sThe dog has a
broken leg" not 1.-THE dog has got q
broken leg"
The irregular verbs lay and lie are
frequently COMPOUNDED. Lay is an &C
tive or transitive verb, and lie Ia pas
sive or intransitive. We lay things
down or have laid them down, but we
aTd things lie at rest You lie down.
have lain down, will lie down or are
lying down; she lay down yesterday
and Is going to lie down this afternoon.
A frequent error Is to confound the
past lenses Of these verbs. One should
say, MARY laid the book on the table
and lay down herself" but the book
lies on the table.

COINED MONEY
The Most Ancient Specimens known
Are ThoaN 0f AeUfna

The Most Ancient Specimens Known
Are Those of Aegina.
Throughout the early parts Of Scrip
ture as well as through the poems Of
Homer not a single passage occurs
from which can be inferred the exist
ence Of stamped money Of any descrip-
ton. 1t is agreed that the Egyptians
had no coined money. Herodotus Is
authority for the statement that the
Lydians were the first people who coin
ed gold and silver. The Pairan Chron-
icle, however, ascribes the first coin
age Of copper and silver money to
Pheidon, king of Argos, S95 B. c.. In
Aegina, which Aelian corroborates, and
the best numismatic antiquaries agree
In considering the coins Of Aegina from
their archaic form and appearance the
most ancient known. They are Of sill
yer and bear on the upper side the fig
ure of turtle and on the under an in
dented mark. Coins are among the
most certain evidences Of history. m
the later part of the Greek series they
illustrate the chronology of reigns. In
the Roman series they fix the dates
and succession of events. Gibbon OBJ
serves that, IL all our historians were
lost, medals, inscriptions and other
monuments would be sufficient to re-
cord the travels of Hadrian. The reign
of Probus might be written from his
coins.

The Laughing owl.

One of the most fantastic of birds is
the laughing owl Of Florida and some
other southern parts. He sits well up
In tree at night and emits a series Of
loud, strange ha-ha's that sound like
half human laughter. The sound is
sufficiently terrifying to nervous
camper unacquainted with the habit
Of the bird, though less grewsome than
the unearthly call of the Chesapeake
loon heard at all hours Of the night
along the shores Of that bay.-New

Apple Cure For prunkard..

"For ten years." said physician, 81
have advocated apples as a cure for
drunkenness In that time have tried
the apple cure on some forty or fifty
drunkards, and my success has been
most gratifying.
LET any man afflicted with the love
Of drink eat three or more apples daily,
and the horrible craving will gradually
leave him. The cure will be greatly
helped along if he also smokes as little
as possible.
II know a woman who cured a drunk
en- husband without his knowledge by
keeping always plentiful supply of
good apples on the dining table. The
man ate these apples and finally stop
ped drinking altogether. "-Phlladelphia

NOSE CHANGES.

hut Continuous.

They Are Gradual and Imperceptible,
but Continuous.
Don't worry about the shape of your
baby's nose If it is a snub nor be sure If
it pleases you by its regularity that it
will be the nose that will grow up with
1t, for scientists have observed that no
feature changes more as life progresses.
The length of the nose Increases so
much faster than its breadth that the
snub nosed baby may evolve a long,
even hooked nose. This change in the
shape of noses is gradual and imper-
ceptibIe, generally more expeditions In
the male than in the female, correlated
with various other chara cteristics, such
as intellectual attainments or weak
constitution, and producing different
results. During maturity and senes-
cence the bridge of the nose becomes
more and more prominent often more
convex, SO that extreme old age may
even develop an aquiline nose, so that
one need never despair Of possessing a
satisfactory nose at some period Of his
life If he only lives long enough. But,
like SO many other blessings that are
deferred, the right kind of nose may
arrive too late to affect ones fortunes
or happiness.

To Make a Canafy Sing.
Generally any kind of soft, sibilant
noise will tempt bird to sing. A ca

start bis song if he hears, say, the fri2-
cling Of frying pan. We utilize spe-
cial devices to tempt the shy singer
who is perhaps rendered the more bash
full by finding himself In novel sur
roundings. For this purpose we en-
ploy whistles and song organs, which
artifcially reproduce the tours" of the
roller This latter method is found to
be irresistible when all other plans have
failed. The bird feels apparently that
he Is being challenged and forthwith
responds to the challenge by pouring
forth the best of his song. = London

DESTRUCTIVE ARTISTS.
The Rain They Wrought While
Smarting Under Criticism.


By no means unusual was the de-
struction Of the Borglum angels In the
Cathedral of st. John the Divine by the
sculptor himself while smarting under
the criticism that there were NO male
angels shown.
Gerome, the famous French sculptor,
had been working for weeks on the clay
model of group representing Spring.
1t had almost reached completion when
the artist became convinced that the
tres tment was wrong, and In a minute
ne had beaten the entire group into q
shapeless mass of damp clay.
Hogarth destroyed a picture which
had been somewhat severely criticised
by one of his friends, but the most spec
tacular destruction is related of Char
tran, who for a time had a studio In
New York. He was visited by the hus-
band of an American woman whose
portrait he was painting, 5000 being
the agreed price. The husband, while
admitting 1t to be splendid work Of
art, declared that he could see Rbso-
lutely no likeness to his wife In the pio-

veloped that the man was disparaglng

Practical Eye Wash.

ularly young eyes. Get off," he says,
whenever you can and let the salt
and the sea breeze wash and blow
around your eyes. 1t will do them
good. 1t will dislodge the germs OF
disease, for the air breathed by half
the world is germ laden, and sore eyes
are more quickly caught than small
pox and more fatal. 1t will brighten
and strengthen them and prolong their
beauty and usefulness"
