About That Grape Band.

1t is astonishing how many per-
sons, both men and women, who give
every other indication of culture and
refinement, are seen on the streets
nowadays wearing Grape bands on
thir coat sleeves. This form Of
mourning was originally a military
one, the British officers cap, with its
ridiculously low crown, not admit
ting of a band. When he boasted a
decoration the medal also was COW
cred with Grape.
From the military the sleeve band
descended to the coachman and foot
man, and has long been the recog-
nized servants mourning when
there was death in the mas
ter's family. Then the costermon-
gers adopted it because it was cheap.
When one of 'Arry's friends dies the
purchase Of black coat is out Of
the question, so he puts the band of
Grape around the sleeve Of his old
coat and lets it go at that.
The well-to-do New Yorker who
unwittingly adopts this custom is
first cousin to the parvenu who in
vests in coat of arms and picks out
one with a bar sinister because he
thinks it looks just the thing.

What the Eyes Tell.

Steady, widely opened eyes that
are not afraid to meet yours mean
sincerity and honor.
But the steady, glinting eyes that
look through half closed lids at you
would indicate a cold and suspicious
nature.
Beware of the shifting, faltering
eyes that always look away from
you.
Small eyes usually mean an alert
mind.
If they look straight out at you
steady and bright, like squirrels,
you may expect the right sort OF
cleverness, quick tongue and gift
of repartee.
But if the small eyes are more
dim and do not look straight into
yours, you may look for the wrong
kind of cleverness, for little dishon-
estes and equivocations and for a
business sharpness that is willing to
sacrifice too much for little money.
Your large, tranquil Cow like"
eyes, on the other hand, are less re-
sponsive than the alert, bright, little
beady eyes, but once stir them to
their depths and they will look in
finitely more intense and meaningful
than the more impulsive eyes.
Round, protruding eyes show an
ambitious nature and love Of ac-
tion.
The longer eyes show more the
temperament of the dreamer.
The most beautiful eyes in the
world are clear (that indicates good
health) and are set widely apart and
rather deep.
That width of settling always
gives a certain expression of sweet
spirituality.

Use OF COLONIES STOPPER.
French Device for Better Protection
OF War Vessels.

Among the many inventions tend
ing to the better protection OF war
vessels is one of French origin called
Colonies stopper.
The first practical test of this de-
vice was during the late war with
Spain, when It was employed to close
q rent made by a shell in the Iowa.
The hole was about foot above
the water-line AS soon as the stop
per was inserted the inflow of water,
which had begun to food the deck,
ceased.
The stopper consists of rod hav-
ing at one end an iron plate, pivoted
at the center so that 1t can be fold
ed backward along the rod To stop
a leak, the rod carrying the plate Is
first thrust outward through the
hole: then Il turn of the rod causes
the plate, which is weighted at one
end, to become parallel to the side OF
the ship, and in this position 1t Is
drawn back by the rod so as more or
less completely to cover the hole,
Next a cellulose cushion is placed
upon the rod, and by the aid of a nut
forced tightly against the inner side
of the ship over the hole, so as en-
tirely to stop the leak. Shoppers OF
various sizes are carried. to suit the
size of the hole that may have to be
dealt with,

into which the interlocking tongues
on the opposite section connect. Per-
feet joints are thus provided, pre-
venting any damage to the barrel

of the barrel fit into grooves top and
