TOLD BY THE THUMB.
One Way, So They Say, of Reading .
 Person's Character


 The closer the thumb is set to the wrist, the greater the amount of amia- ble qualities person possesses. And. conversely, the higher on the hand the thumb is set, the lower the order of his mental and moral makeup.
 Monkeys thumbs abut from the hand at point close to the fingers. The closer to this formation human being comes the more monkey-like intelli- gence and character he is apt to have. A thumb set very close to the wrist shows sympathy for all in distress, great generosity, independence, love of liberty for self and others and readi. ness to share with the unfortunate. When the second phalanx of the thumb Is much longer than the nail phalanx, there is a discordant relation between reason and will.
 Reason preponderates to such an ex- tent that the entire life is spent in planning what to do without ever do- ing.
 A person of this kind sees clearly what is best for him. but lacks de- termination to put 1t into execution.
 He sees the goal and the steps neces. sary for attaining 1t, but in the same glance he takes in all the obstacles. and while he is pondering the matter the opportunity to win success escapes. St. Louis Post-Dispateh.

FREAKS OF RAzoRs.
The Way the Grain of the Blades 10
 Sometimes Reversed.

The Way the Grain of the Blades 10
 Sometimes Reversed.
 The finest grades of razors are SC delicate that even the famous Damas- GUS sword blades cannot equal them in texture. It is not generally known that the grain of Swedish razor is so sensitive that its general direction is changed after a short service. When you buy fine razor the grains. run from the upper end of the outer point in a diagonal direction toward the han dle. Constant stropping will twist the steel until the grain appears to be straight up and down. Subsequent use will drag the grain outward from the edge, so that after steady use for sew eral months the fiber of the steel occn- pies position exactly the reverse of that which 1t did on the day of pur- chase. The process also affects the temper of the blade. and when the grain sets from the lower outer points toward the back you have a razor which cannot be kept in condition even by the most conscientious barber. But here's another curious freak that will take place fin the same tool: If you leave the razor alone for a month or two and take it up. you will find that the grain has assumed its first position. The operation can be repeated until the steel is worn through to the back Strand Magazine.

A DRAGON HUNT.
it Took Place In Turkey and Was I
 Great Success.

It Took Place In Turkey and Was {
 Great Sueeesss
 "Yes, wunst hunted dragons, and the hunt was successful, too," said a sailor.
 Tt was in Eyoub. the native quarter of old Constantinople. lived there with my wife, Circassian gal, Fat nah by name, and, comin' home from the calf one night
 "Calf?"
 Sure! Calf. Don't you know what calf Is? Kind of restaurant where you eat and drink and smoke. But where was I?'
 You were coming home"
 Well. as we come home from the calf Fatmah grabbed my arm, pointed to the moon and give loud yell. The full moon behind the domes and min arets was goin' into an eclipse. laughed. but Fatmah says:
 A dragon, 0 my beloved she says, is tryin' to devour the moonr she says. If the faithful slay it not, there will be no more moonlight says she sneverr
 Then, by tar, begun the biggest racket I ever hear All Eyoub was on dragon hunt. From every housetop the faithful fired blunderbusses at the moon in the hope of killin the dragon.
 When we got home I tried to ex- plain to Fatmah what an eclipse was, but she thought was laughin' at her. So I gave up my explanations, and, with pistol, each of us joined in the hunt, bangin' away at the dragon from the winder turn and turn about.
 By crinus. we got him! The hunt was a success! The dead dragon dropped off the moon, and she floated, round and silvery wunst more. above the palms and minarets standin' black agin the pale sky.

The oxsrtired Conductor.

When the horse cars were in exist ence there was a greenhorn known as John who conducted on the Thirteenth and Fifteenth street lines. He boarded with his two aunts, who lived on Cath arine street, between Thirteexth and Broad. One day his aunts thought they would take ride with John and see how he was getting along. so they waited for his car. Soon the car began to get crowded and passengers got off and on at every square. John began to get angry. At last he became so exas- perated at having to stop so often that when an old lady asked him to stop at Chestnut he bawled out: I'm darned sick and tired pulling the bell. It's nothing but stop here and stop there. stop here and stop there. Away with youse all down to Catharine street with me aunts. and you get out in a bunch" Philadelphia Ledger.

SPONGE DIVERS. s'
Hardly a Single caphander of Tripoh
 Escapes Paralysis.

There are a great many varieties or sponges. most of which are found in the warmer parts of the ocean. Inc bath sponges are chiefly obtained from the eastern half of the Mediterranean. where they occur at all depths down 10 200 fathoms and are obtained by div ing. dredging or harpoonins.
 Writing in Harper's Magazine, Q. ". Furlong gives an account of the work of the Greek sponge divers on the coast of Tripoli. in north Africa. Attacks by sharks and dogfish have gradually frightened away the common divers, who dive naked with a piece of fiat marble and line, and the field is left clear for the "caphanders." as the men are called who use air pump, suit and helmet.
 The greatest enemy of the caphander Is paralysis. hardly a single diver es- caping from 1t in some form or other. The great cause of this disease is the sudden relief of pressure due to the rapid ascent the dangerous symptoms appearing when the diver emerges into the fresh air
 Strange as 1t may seem. partially paralyzed diver on descending into the waters recovers the use of his limbs again, and his circulation becomes nor mal. To battle with this scourge the Greek government has issued regula- tions as to the depths to which diver shall go and has also provided hos pital ship and sponge divers hos pital on shore.

WOMAN'S DEATH
 PUZZLES POLICE.
Murdered Under Strange Cir.
 CumstanCes In Brooklyn,

New York. July 23.-Another murder mystery has been added to the long list of unsolyed cases that are now baf1ing the police of New York and vicinity. The body of pretty young woman was found in a tool shed in Irving park, Brooklyn. She was shot through the breast and had been killed almost instantly. Although a police man heard the report of the shot and ran to the scene, he was too late to catch sight of the murderer.
 This latest murder has far more pug zling features to unravel than have the Drew or Eberhard cases, for not even the identity of the victim is known. While 1t is believed that the murdered woman lived near the scene of the crime. still there is no positive information on this point. That she was either iured io iha tooihonse or went ihare to kaap ''lsndastibe en- gagement win a man seems certain. for rbe woman was assuredis olr of her AlamanI In such place. She was nimly .oN ned in dark srmmer skirt. pink shjrr waist and wore low black ties and biaek liSie stockings. The reason the police conclude that she lived in the neighborhood is because she wore no hat. hut carried a dainty little parasol.
 Policeman Kohler. who heard the fa- tai revolver shot. says that he made search of the park immediately, but saw no one. He found the body of q young woman lying across the top of a tool chest. Her clothing was disar- ranged. The revolver from which the shot had been fired could not he found. and the policeman was convinced that murder had been committed. Coro- ner Wuerst examined the body. and he gave it as his opinion, that the woman had been murdered. but he would not discuss the case until after more searching investigation has been made.

A LITTLE ONE SIDED.
An Exchange of Presents That Was
 Not Wholly Satisfactory.


 Not Wholly Satisfactory.
 John Mitchell, the labor leader, was discussing on one occasion labor struggle of the past.
 You see, they didn't give us fair deal" he said Tt looked fair on it's face, but really 1t was like the deal of Harvey Barr of Braidwood.
 Harvey Bsrr, successful lawyer, had wonderful talent for getting the best of people. Even at home he kept this talent in play. His wife said to him one morning:
 Harvey, dear, this is the fifteenth anniversary of our wedding. What are you going to give me|
 This is what am going to give you Harvey answered affectionately, and he handed his wife $15 in crisp, fresh bills.
 \ "'Oh, thank you! And what shall I give you?' the gratifed wife asked. That meerschaum pipe I've been admiring so long, Harvey promptly an. nounced.
 "In the evening on his return home the pipe awaited him. It had cost just S15. He lit up and began to color it carefully. Bnt as the evening wore on his wife seemed i'll at ease.
 Where is my present, Harvey? ? she said at last fretfully.
 Why, my dear Harvey explained, you gave me pipe. gave you S15. Don't you see? We're just even.' D. St. Louis Republic.

SOUTH AFRICA BEATS US.
sprinter From British Colony Takes
 Hundred Meter Dash In London.


 London. July 23.-Comparative gloom pervades the American camp. The athletes from over the seas had strohg- ly cherished hopes of repeating their grand record making clean sweep In the track events. but dark horse in the person of the South African youth, R. E. Walker. upset the calculations. Walker broke the tape in what is con sidered the most important event in the Olympic games. the 100 meter dash, a short two feet in front of J. A. Rector. the University of vir- ginia crack. thereby putting an end to the astonishing succession of Amer ican triumphs which had begun to sadden the Britons.
 Shoulder to shoulder. Walker. Rector and the Canadian star, Kerr. ran down the straight. with CartmeIl, the Penn sylvania sprinter. in close attendance. At the halfway mark Walker forged slightly ahead. but at the tape less than yard separated the first three men. with the Canadian. only inches behind the Virginian. in third place.
 The American team did remarkably well. hut success had elated them to the point where they were satisfied with nothing less than everything in sight A worlds record by c. I. Ba. con of the Irish-American Athletic club in the 400 meter hurdling, which he won in 55 seconds: an Olympic rec ord of 24 feet 6la inches by F. c.
