The TelItaIe Hand.

A writer in an English weekly de- clares that If we want to know what the other person is thinking we must look at his or her hands. Even un- practiced lips can lie, as every one knows. Long practice in self control will enable one to keep one's voice sweety cordial when there is nothing but indifference or cold dislike behind 1t. The eyes can be made to shoot glances which are not at all a register for the emotions. But the hands, 1t is asserted, are utterly beyond the con trol of those to whom they belong Even people who hardly gesticulate at all-and to keep the hands still is con sidered by the Anglo-Saxon a most es- sential part of good breeding-even these people are 1t seems, constantly revealing themselves in little move ments of the hands. The immortal Null vaney has put 1t on record that a wo- mans truth or untruth can be dis cerned by the action of her hands. Of course it takes practiced reader to interpret what the hands are saying. It is not a case of he who runs may read"

Queer Furs.

"This is cat fur," said a furrier. "We use 1t for Things. An excellent lining cat fur makes too. Dogs, calves, colts, coons. opossums, bats, rats-any animal that wears fur, in fact, is sala- ble In the fur market. Bat hair is felted up with other stuff into an imi- tation skin. It is also used, believe, fin rope plating. The dog, the coon and the opossum yield fur that, prop erly treated, makes a very handsome lining. Rat skins are employed in cer- tain delicate repairs, and they also serve to form the thumbs of cheap gloves. A queer thing about the fur business is that the furs must be taken in the dead of winter. The trapper must work under the cruelest climatic conditions. Only thus is the fur at its best. The dresser, on the other hand, who could work best in cold weather, must do all his work in the heat of summer or otherwise he would not be able to keep up with the changing fashions. ."-Exchsnge.

rhe Eyes of the Camel.

One of the camels-the seven were lying just beyond the circle of fire light - rose complaining. Mustafa's Ahmed slipped away upon his duty. Presently l heard his guttural cawing to get the camel again to rest, but the beast would not down and must be beaten, the boy meanwhile mounting great curses. I wondered that being so small should without peril to him. self strike a creature like this with his fist, continuing all the time within reach of teeth and hoofs.
 "I will tell the khawaja," replied Mustafa, "a most curious and interest ing thing about this.''
 Ahmed had mastered the camel and now came to his place.
 ''The khawaja has observed" Musta- ia continued, that child may beat and command camel. It is not be- cause the camel Is stupid nor yet be- cause he is timid; it is because of wise provision whereby God suited him to the weakness of men. The camel's eyes are like nagnifying glasses and increase the stature of his master seven times, wherefore he is obedient to the gigantic appearing creature"

A Curious spanish Custom.

Ellen Maury Slayden In the Century in an account of her own and her hus- bands lavish entertainment in Span. ish household says:
 No custom of the house was 50 un. accountable as that of having people come to see you eat.' Enjoying a square meal while our guests inhaled cigarette smoke seemed so inhospita- ble that sometimes playfully insisted upon their having something with us. It was always laughingly declined, ex- cept once when a particularly lively youth took piece of ham and ate it with all sorts of self conscious little antics, as if he were acting a panto- mime,"

4 ROYAL FUNERAL.
Strange csrsmoniss That Mark the
 Burial ef . Spanish King.

burtaI of spanish kins~
 Strange and almost weird is the cer- emonial which accompanies the burial of Spanish kings. The pantheon, or royal tomb, is at the palace of the Escurial, situated 5000 feet above the level of the sea and some distance from the capital. Only kings, queens and mothers of kings are buried there, the coffins of the kings lying on one side, those of the queens on the other. After lying in state for several days in the throne room in Madrid an enor- nous procession is formed, accompany Ing the body to the Escurial. A halt Is made on the way, and the corpse rests there for one night.
 In the morning the lord high cham berlain stands at the side of the coffin and says in loud tones "Is your majes- ty pleased to proceed on your jour- neyT After a short silence the pro- cession moves on and winds up to the grand portal of the palace. These doors are never opened except to ad- init royal parsonage, dead or alive. When the casket containing the re- mains is at last placed in the vault the cha mberlain unlocks 1t and, kneel- ing down, calls with a loud voice: "Senor Senor! Senor"
 After solemn pause he cries again: His majesty does not reply! Then it is true, the king is dead"
 He then locks the coffin, gives the key to the prior and, taking his staff of office, breaks it in pieces and fiings them at the casket. The booming of the guns and the tolling of bells an- nounce to the nation that the king has gone to his final resting place.

BATHING AT DIEPPE
When the cortssss ds Sslsns Tvlsd -
 In the Year feoo.

When the comtssss ds 2sIsns rvlsd V
 In the Year fe0o.
 The Comtesse de Boignc in her mem- oirs gives m account of visit che paid in 1s06, which Is interesting In view of the position Dieppe now holds among French watering places.
 "The poverty of the inhabitants she says, twas frightfal. The Ens. lishman. as they called him (and for them he was worse than the deviD, was cruising necessarily before their empty barbor. With much difficulty boat was able to escape from time to time and go fishing. always at the risk of being captured by the foreigner or confscated upon the return journey if the telescopes of the watchers had seen 1t approach vessel.
 "As for the comforts arranged for the convenience of bathers which Dieppe has since organized, they were nonexistent at that time. My brother was able to find little covered cart, and with great trouble and great ex- pense, notwithstanding the universal poverty, man was hired to lead the horses down to the sea and two wo- men to go into the sea with me.
 "These preparations raised the pub lie surprise and curiosity to such pitch that my first bath was watched by crowd on the shore. My servants were asked if l had been bitten by . mad dog.
 'I aroused extreme pity as I went by, and 1t was thought that was being taken down to be drowned. An old gentleman called on my father to point out to him that he wns assuming a great responsibility in permitting 90 rash an act. It can hardly be imag- ined that the inhabitants of q sea- shore could be so afraid of the sea.
 But at that time the people of Dieppe were chiefly occupied fin keep- ing out of sight of 1t and in protecting themselves from the disasters which they feared the sea might bring, so that it was for them nothing more than means of annoyance and sufrer- ing. It Is curious to think that ten years later bathers were arriving in hundreds, that special arrangements were made for their convenience and that sea bathing of every kind went on without producing any aStonish- ment in the neighborhood.
 q have thus attempted to point cut that the custom of sea bathing, which is now so universal. Is comparatively recent in France, for Dieppe was the first place where it began"

NEW YoRK's BowERY.
Why the Upper Part of It Was Named
 Fourth Avenue.

Why the Upper Part of It Was Named
 Fourth Avenue.
 In the early forties of the last cen tury there lived in Brooklyn Mir. and Mrs. Smith. MT. Smith was ris- ing civil engineer, and most of his work was in New York. It was nec- essary that he be nearer his place of business than Brooklyn, for in those days ferries were slow and infrequent, no bridges spanned the river, and horse cars were the speediest means of transit. Being man of moderate means, MT. Smith went house hunting through the streets of New York, seek ing modest but respectable abode. Near the upper ead of the Bowery he found a small house. Elated with his success, he rushed home with the news to his wife. But when he mentioned the name of the street fin which this house stood his wlfe's face fell.
 How could you think of itT' she asked. Smith was in despair.
 Even as far back as 1S40 the Bow cry had acquired an unenviable repu- tation. MT. Smith tried to explain that the upper part of the Bowery was still untarnished; that many very respectable people lived in that part of town; that 1t would be many long years before crime and sin would spread that far north
 Tt wac aI oofaI oparrv Tho fo # that she would be living on the Bow cry was sufficient for Mrs. Smith.
 As civil engineer 1t was MT. Smiths custom to overcome obstacles. The following day he hired a convey ance, and he and Mrs. Smith went house hunting together. Mrs. Smith knew her Brooklyn thoroughly, but had only slight acquaintance with New York. After driving through many streets without finding a suita- ble house the husband quietly turned into the Bowery at Union square and slowly walked the horse in the direc- tion of the house he had found the previous day.
 Suddenly Mrs. Smith exclaimed, "Why, there's a pretty place to let, dearw
 "Where?" listlessly questioned her husband, purposely looking in the op- posite direction. Had Mrs. Smith not been so intent upon the house in ques- tion she might have noticed the mer- ry twinkle in her husbands eyes and suspected something.
 Right over there" she replied, pointing to the house with the ITO Let" sign.
 An examination of the premises con- vinced Mrs. Smith that she must have the place, and when she learned that her neighbors were old friends of hers she had her husband close the bar gain at once.
 All this time no mention was made of the street. How Smith managed to move into the house and keep Mrs. Smith in the dark as to the name of the street is mystery. But there came a day, and there was a storm. The tear fall was something heretofore unknown in the Smith household.
 Once again MT. Smiths habit of overcoming obstacles stood him in good stead. His wife would not live on the Bowery. Her home was ideal, her neighbors were good people, but they lived on the Bowery. So Smith and one of his neighbors went before the board of aldermen. The neighbor had influence. The street signs from Union square down to Fourth street were changed. Instead of "Bowery" the words Fourth avenue" were sub- stituted.
 And Mrs. Smith was happy ever aft er.-New York World.

HARRIMANS HAPPY AT TIME
Members of DisttnG uiShed Party Ex-
press Delight at Their Enter
~tainnhent in Omaha

w have had a better time in Omaha
than at any place since we left New York,
said one of the younger members of the
Hartman party at Union station on leav-
ing for the east, and the sentiment was
seconded by several others.
Quite a tribute was paid to Mr.. Mohler
at the station when all the members of the
Hartman party, as II by prearranged
plans, came to the rear platform of Mr..
Harriman's private car, Arden, and threw
a rose each at Mr.. Mohler as the train
was pulling out.
Roland Hartman, the 12-year-old son Of
the magnate, had his wish of killing a
bear gratified. When the party went west
through Omaha Roland had blood hounds
Of all sizes and descriptions and although
some of them looked more like rabbit dogs
than bear dogs, the young hunter was able
to run down a bear with them In Oregon.
He also had a good shot at another bear,
which got away
At the close of the speechmaking at the
I Field club Thursday night a corner was
cleared in the dance hall, which was used
as the banquet room, and the younger
members of the Hartman party enjoyed a
waltz. Averill Hartman, II years of age,
made the suggestion as he had been ad-
miring the dance floor all evening and
when his dance was finished he remarked
that I'VE don't have such nice dancing
! floors in New York"
While Mr.. Hartman publicly expressed
mis- approval of the splendid informal re.
ception rendered him, the other members
Of his family were equally pleased witt
the entertainment and did not hesitate t.
say so.
