Signs of Long Life.

TN the medical world said a well
known veteran doctor of Tioga yester-
day, lit is a generally accepted fact
that every person bears physical indi-
cations of his prospects of a long or
short life. A long-lived person may be
distinguished from a short-lived person
at sight. In many instances a physi-
clan may look at the hand of i pa
tient and tell whether he or she will
live or not. The primary conditions of
longevity are that the heart. lungs and
digestive organs. as wei as the brain.
should be large. If these organs are
large the trunk will be long and the
limbs comparatively short The person
will appear tall in sitting and short in
standing. The hand will have a long
and somewhat heavy palm and short
fingers. The brain will be deeply seat
ed, as shown by the orifce of the ear
being low. The blue or brown hazel
eye, as showing an intermission of tenn
permanent, is a favorable indication.
The nostrils, if large, open and free.
indicate large lungs. A pinched and
half-closed nostril indicates small or
weak lungs. These are general points
of distinction, but, of course, subject
to the usual individual exceptions. -

Answer Was Original Anyway.

After becoming wealthy in Chicago
Il prominent business man went to
Washington. where his malaprop wife
and daughters endeavOred to buy their
way into society. Senator Pettigrew
of South Dakota, says that one even
ing he set Il large company to guess
ing his conundrum:
What is the difference between a
man going out of doors, in winter, and
dog?"
The answer is: "A man puts on an
overcoat, and the dog pants.'
Only two or three evenings later, the
eldest daughter of the Chicagoan set
forth the same conundrum, as original
although Senator Pettigrew sat be,
side her. When the people gave it up
she told the answer:
"A man puts on an overcoat, and the
dog puts on trousers"
Nobody laughed, and Senator Petit
grew corrected her, when she said:
Il made little mistake. 1t should
be, man puts on an overcoat, and the
dog puts on pantalOonS."

ArchducheSs Makes Candles

A most unusual trade was adopted
by the Arduchess Frederick of Aus
tria, well known as the mother of
numerous pretty daughters. She is a
candlemaker, and her candles are most
beautifully decorated and smell so
sweet that her imperial highness
makes great deal of money by sell
ing her product for use in the bOudoirs
of her royal and imperial sisters. The
archduchess also supplies the pope
with bedroom candles year in and
year out, and on festive occasions she
furnishes altar candles for the Sistfne
chapel, or st. Peters, when the pope
celebrates mass there.

He Knew His Man.

Many of the hill tribesmen in India
join the British side and become most
valuable recruits. Some years ago in
campaign against the Afridis one of
the columns was much annoyed by a
persistent 'sniper'' who followed il
daily. Eventually one of the newly
joined Afridi recruits requested leave
to fall out for a couple of hours to
settle the trouble. At the end of the
time he strolled in placidly and flung
down the head of the sniper.
On being congratulated by his officer
and aske,. how he had managed to
find his enemy so quickly, he replied
aconically: Il know his ways, sahib.' -
why" said the officer, was he a
friend of yOurs?"
My father, sahib!"

THE CHICAGO BALLOON RACE.
Great Crowd Sees Nine Airships Sail
OFF Into Space.

Nine balloons sailed away with sew
enteen men and one boy from the
grounds Of the Aeronautique Club of
Chicago Saturday in the second race
for the balloon championship Of the
world Dispatches said there were
heavy winds and much thunder and
lightning along the route in which the
balloons were travelling and anxiety
was expressed at the Aeronautique Club
over the storm reports. Lightning is,
Of course, the chief dread of the aero
naut. To him it is what rocks and reefs
are to the mariner.
The start from the clubs grounds at
Sixty-seventh street and South Park
avenue was witnessed by 100000 per-
sons. In point of spectators and the
number and character of entries it was
the greatest aeronautic event that ever
has taken place in America, and places
Chicago on par with Paris as a CEN
ter for aerial sport.
The accounts of the race" seem to
show that luck was the most important
AcSIOI III pace. L uG DdI-
looms went in the direction of the wind.
They sailed high or low, not as their
occupants desired, but as the air cur
rents carried them. Those that were
favored by luck reached the ground
with no accidents to their occupants.
Those that were unlucky hit the sur
face of the lake or landed their passen-
gers in dangerous places. In all ac-
counts of the contest the element of
control is cOnspicuously absent.
The balloon race made good show.
1t afforded topic of interest to many
thousand people who watched the start
from Chicago 1t is a matter of salts
faction that none Of the contestants lost
his life, despite the exciting experiences
through which some of them passed.
1t requires a stretching of the word
race" to describe haphazard air jour-
| ney in which one balloon managed to
get 60 miles, another less than 300, and
the winner 800 miles farther than the
| nearest competitor

GRAPHING AN EAGLE.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer relates
curious adventure which befell a
sportsman not long ago. \ Mr. Palmer
was hunting il the upper Naches valley,
and as he was descending the side of
jagged canon after a day of fruitless
toll, was suddenly arrested in his course
by furious whirl of wings, passing
near him.
Quickly turning, he beheld a blue
winged grouse fleeing before a monster
eagle. Both birds passed almost with
ing reach of his gul-barrel. Instantly
Mr.. Palmer brought his gun TO his
shoulder and fired at the grouse
The result of the shot was remark
able. One of the shots in the charge
graZed the skull of the eagle, and as
the grouse fell dead its pursuer took
headlong tumble and dropped beside the
bird. Mr.. Palmer ran down the hill to
bag his game.
There before him, apparently dead,
lay one of the biggest American eagles
he had ever seen. All at once the ap-
parently dead bird began to flap its
huge wings. Mr.. Palmer seized it by it's
neck and feet and carried it down the
canon to his wagon. Then ne discov-
cred he had Il problem to deal with.
lie did not dare to release the eagles
feet lest his face and hands should be
torn by the sharp claws. Neither did
he cherish the idea of letting go of the
creatures neck and taking chances Of
its wings and beak.
He climbed into the rear of the wag-
on, placed one foot on the eagles neck,
and with one hand held its two feet
while with the other he reached for the
halter rope. With this he succeeded in
tying the legs, after which he tied the
bird to the bottom of the wagon.
During this time Mr. Palmer lad been
subjected to a severe drubbinS by the
wings of the eagle. His hat was
knocked off, and his face was battered
until it looked as if he had just emerged
from the pugilistic ring.
The eagle was put on exhibition. It
measured seven feet and five inches
from tip to tip.

Senator Paynter, of Kentucky, says
that when James Watson Webb, OF
New York, made Tom Marshall, OF
Kentucky, a target for his editorial
lance, he struck a tartar. Marshall
challenged and insisted upon a duel
which was fought near Wilmington
Del. The principals were stationed ten
feet apart, and exchanged shots with
out effect. Marshall insisted upon an
other shot and both men fired simulta-
neously. Col. Webb staggered, his sec
onds laid him on the ground and the
surgeon announced that he was
wounded below the knee.
''That was the lowest act of my life, -
shouted Marshall. STAND him up
again for another shot"
But Webb was unable to stand. He
was taken to a hotel, where he was
laid up for several weeks, saying to
his visiting friends: Il am confined to
my bed, under Marshall law"

GIFTS TO THE BARBER.

Man from Long IsIa Id,

a. Man from Long IsIa nj,
Cash is not the only shape in which
gifts come to the barber, says the New
York Sun. Here was one in the form
of a spray Of apple blossoms brought
in by a customer who has a country
place out somewhere on Long Island.
The barber had put it in a glass of
itself among the bottles and things on
the shelf in front of his chair-a spray
Of apple blossoms, with all the apple
blossoms delicate beauty.
1t is no reproach to the barber to say
that at first he didn't know what they
were, for he was born and brought up
in the city; and for that matter there
were plenty Of customers in the shop
in the course Of the day who didn't
know what they were any more than
he did; as, for instance, one customer
coming in along in the afternoon who,
his eye falling on the blossoms as he
took his seat in the chair, asked of the
barber:
What you got there?"
apple blossoms says the barber.
as that s0:" says the customer, as
he surveys them with new interest.
Yes" says the barber, that's what
a customer of mine who knows tells
me, and there are two or three BARRIERS
here in the shop that know and that's
what they say, too
And this customer looked them over
again with keener interest still, his rec
objection bringing gradually other ap-
pie blossoms back to him with which
to compare these; and these were ap-
pie blossoms, sure enough, some of
them not yet opened still of the I'M
folded blossoms beautiful pink, and
some opened, with their petals Of the
apple blossoms delicately tinted pink
ish white. And then he smelled of the
blossoms, and they had the apple bios
SONS delicate woody fragrance.
Yes, sir they We're apple blossoms
all right, a lovely spray of apple BIOS
SONS here in a city barber shop. And
then the customer sat back and got
shaved.
