on a west-bound Long Island railroad

The First Bareback Rider.

Riding on a broad pad strapped on
a horses back is very old bareback
riding is comparatively new. 1t was no
longer ago than 1854, or the Fourth Of
July. that +. b. Washburne's circus,
playing in Boston, was packed to suffo-
cation by the announcement spread
broadcast, that, on that particular day
for the first time in the history Of the
world. a man would ride three times
around the ring standing upright on
the bareback OF a galloping horse!
The rider, Robert Almar, actually ac-
complished this feat, and also he car.
ried an American flag, which he wav'
ed, thereby arOusing tremendous en-
thusiasm. Contrast that with the pres
ent when there are scores OF riders
who can urn a somersault on horse

hand, thanks to their organ Of vision, all other men become "patho-
Sopc"-they find out the sentiments Of their n~eghbors by carefully
examining their physiognomies. Such conditions, of course, have brought
about complications. There ar plenty of cases where a man needs
to express to his neighbor sentiments which he is far from feeling toward
him; hence he will use a expression which will be purely a work OF
his will, and will not correspond to his true internal emotion. Such states
are what we call hypocrisy or deceit, states in which will IT calculation
takes the place of true feeling. In such cases certain hesitation almost
always will be evident in the manner of expression. And it behooves
each man to develop sufficiently his faculty Of "pathoscopy' in order that
he may be able to distinguish a real smile from a false one, real tears
from false tears.
The physiognomy, being the center Of our whole energetic symbol
ism. both material and immateral, has contributed enormously 10 the
lettering of the species. Man has perfected himself. He has made
himself beautiful. So the physiognomy, by giving us accurate informa-
ton concerning the state of our superior centers, upon which our whole
life depends, makes us capable of reading our own soul correctly.
Thus it is that every man laughs, cries, bushes, or turns pale to
relieve himself first of all; and all other men capable of feeling or
thinking. seeing him do thus, III forced to do likewise, in order to
relieve him in turn. The human physiognomy, being one with the BRAIN,
pertcts the species and makes all men one among themselves.

From Prehistoric pays.

The burial place of an adult, prob
ably of the Stone Age, was excavatei
in the Island of Three. one Of the He
brides. The body had been placed in
the smallest possible compass on its
right side. with knees drawn up to
the chin, but rather breast downwards.
The relics around and upon the skele-
ton are in harmony with the theory,
deducible from the position in which
the body had been placed, that the
burial belongs to a very early period,
The condition Of the bones and the
relics is so good thak they could be
readily set up in aNhuseum in the
original position. Discoveries have
also been made recently in the Island
OF Coll. An important find was that

SEEK TREASURE OF LAFIrTg.
lie Hiding Place Has Been Pointed
Out In Dreams Of Ghosts.

Since the French ~privateer and
smuggler, Jean LATTE, sailed the high
seas and brought his treasures to the
gulf coast and buried them now and
then 1t happens that some sensation
arises as to their immediate where
abouts, says the Houston Post.
Thirty.four years ago the pirate OF
the gulf, as LATTE was called, appear.
ed In a dream to DR.. Beazly, and,
rather roughly taking him by the col.
lar. told him to come with him and
he would show him where there we're
gold and silver and diamonds buried.
h doctor In his dream followed his
midnight visitor and he directed him
to a certain place In the cottage, which
was then the Beazly home and occu.
pied by the family, and designated
the spct under which lies the much.
talked-of wealth OF the ~privateer.
The doctor, having the same dream
repeated twice in the same night, be.
came wide awake after Laftte's third
visit and much interested, the result
being that he did. and perhaps. too,
very shortly afterward, begin digging
under the house in pursuit OF the
treasure.
After getting to the depth OF four
or five feet he found nothing of any
moment except a very unusual stone

Had he kept on possibly the treas.

may be, might have been released
from this burden OF secrecy, a burden
from which. seemingly, he wished to
be relieved. as another visit has been
made in the same house. and this time

Doas Wear Goodies, Too.

There are many curious sights In a
large city, and New York Is by no
means an exception. A few days ago
a handsome automobile was seen spin
ming down Riverside Drive. It was
occupied by a lady and gentleman, the
chauffeur and a fine looking dog. The
dog was conspicuously perched upon
the front seat, where he was much
noticed. Not because of his beauty
and self possession alone, but because
of his having a pair Of the regulation
automobile goggles fastened ove his
nose. And why not? A dogs eyes
are almost as sensitive TO a brisk wind
as are those of a man, and the provid.
ing him with goggles was simply a
humane act, which the creature
seemed fully to appreciate,
