Readinq the Face.

Restless eyes denote deceitful, de signing disposition; greenish eyes mean falsehood, malice and love of scan dal; blue eyes tell of tendency toscc quetry; black eyes mean a lively. spir ited and sometimes deceitful charac- ter; eyes with yellowish, bloodshot white usually betoken strong emotions and hot temper; gray eyes mean dig nifty and intelligence and brown eyes $ tender, true, kind and happy nature. A mouth had better be too large than to- small, for very small, pursed ny mouth is seldom significant of good conversational power. Large mouths are more often found in conjunction with liberal dispositions than very small ones. A person with a pointed chin is fanciful. refined in taste and difficult to please. A broad, squa-e chin signifies ardent love, often accom- panied by jealousy. A broad, round chin means ardent love, with a stead fastness and purity of affection.

Tho VanisE;uo Trick.

Into the grOccvS shop walked an an. cient lady with q slow and halting tread and carrying on her arm q baS- ket containing I large carthenwarc pot with lid. Placing the basket on the counter, she made various purchases, which she put carefully in the pot, and had her bill made out.
 By the way" she said before paying this, "do you mind keeping this pot with the purchases in it until l come back and pay for them, as l have to buy other things some distance off, and it will be more convenient for me to leave the things here till later?'
 This request was willingly accedcd to, and, lifting the pot carefully out of the basket, the old dame placed ii. with an effort, in q corner; then, plac. ing her basket on her arm, left the shop. Hours went by, day ripened into evening, and evening gave way to night, but the old woman did not return. At last the proprietor thought of examining the earthenware pot to see if by any chance it had It's owners address upon it, and great was his as tonishment, not untinged with dis may, to find that it possessed no bot tom.-London Answers.

This lining serves to catch and hold the rainwater, witi which 1t quickly becomes filled. As soon as this takes place the eggs arc laid therein, and here they undergo de velopment into tadpoles.

Hoped He Wouldn't Grow.

A well known member of parliamen was addressing an agricultural meet ing in the south of England and in the course of his remarks expressed the opinion that farmers do not sufficient, vary their crops and make a mistake in always sowing wheat.
 One of the audience opposed to hn1 in politics asked him what crops h. would recommend.
 Everything in turn," he replied.
 Well" said his interlocutor, 'i swedes don't come up, what thena'
 'Sow mustard" said the M. P.
 And if mustard doesn't come up what then?"

Blond Indians,

One of the mysteries of Mexico Is presented by the Maya Indians, who inhabit the Sierra Madre mountains i'll the lower part of Sonora. They have fair skins, blue eyes and light hair, and students of ethnology have always been puzzled to account for them. There is tradition, however, that these Indians are the descendants of the crew and passengers of a Swedish
 vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast centuries before Columbus discovered the new world. But this tradition is founded on nothing more substantial than a folklore tale current among them that their ancestors came over the big salt water hundreds of moons

Witchcraft In the Nineteenth Century


 Most people believe that witchcraft among civilized people ended when the Salem witch mania" ran It's course and died out in the year 1892. It did as far as America Is concerned, except among savages, but in other countries the belief in the superstition did not die until much later date, even if 1t can be truly said to be dead now. In France an old beggar was tortured to death as late as 1907 on the charge of being one who "communed with evil spirits," and in Spain witch was burned in 1908. In 1850 in France a man and his wife tortured a suspected witch to death, and nothing at all was done with them by the criminal courts on account of the lingering belief iD sorcery. Four years later witch was drowned in England, and in 1860 one was burned in Mexico. In 1874, 1S79 1880 and again in 1889 witches were publicly burned in Russia, and even as late as 1890 regular judicial trials of witches were had in Prussia, Pc land and Austria Hungary.
