Gestures Part of Talk.

There is man who from very
 early age has lived in countries where Spanish is the almost universal tongue.
 From force of this training he speaks Spanish perfectly. He has not the slightest trace of an English accent
 and persons who do not know that he is of American parentage are willing to believe he is Spaniard merely
 from hearing him talk. He is so per fectly bilingual that 1t shows even ill his gestures. When talking with Eng
 fish speaking persons he sits quietly and does his conversing with his
 mouth alone. Only in case of making point most emphatically does he use gesture. But the moment he drops into Spanish his every word is accom- panied by q movement of the hands or
 arms It is interesting to watch the change from the English to the Span ish side of him. because it comes so suddenly. He really can't speak span ish without gesturing.-New York Sun.

NERVES AND WATCHES.

When They Don't Agree There Is Sure
 to Be Poor Time.
 One of the troubles of watchmakers is the man who gets on his watch's nerves. There are lots of customers on whom a good watch is wasted. A good second hand watch that has kept perfect time for other people will with certain other people go irregularly when 1t is not standing still. It is common knowledge in the trade that watches are greatly influenced by their owners.
 Nobody knows the reason. but two explanations have been offered. One is that watches are sensitive to per sonal magnetism. the natural electric1- ty that human beings contain in vary. ing quantities.
 The other is that a watch may be disturbed by the vibrations set up by a footstep which is heavier than the ordinary. The man who puts his heels down heavily usually needs to set the regulator toward slow to keep it from gaining.
 One of the mysterious sides of the subject is that watches seldom keer good time on people of nervous. excita ble tempera raments.-Pearson's Weekly

Training a Dog.

It may surprise some people to be told that dogs have q strong sense oi justice. so. unless you want your pup to gain a poor opinion of you. be care full when you punish him. Never pun ish unless the pup can associate the punishment with the otfense. The cir cumstantial evidence may be very strong. but you had better wait and catch him in the act. Common sense IS about all that is required to rear pup py into dog which will be faithful, useful. steadfast companion-common sense and consideration.

PATTI STOOD PAT.
She Wanted Her Money Before she
 Sanu, and She Got It,

She Wanted Her Money Before she
 Sang, and She Got It.
 One of Adelina Patti's peculiarities was that she never sang note until she had her salary either paid or so fully assured that there was no doubt as to her getting it. When she sang at the Academy of Music. in New York, at one time the manager was sorely put about to find money to pay her, but she always stoutly refused to sing until she had her salary.
 One night at a quarter past 8 her representative went to him and said: Madam is all dressed except her shoes. She will put those on when she gets the money"
 The manager. half distracted, rushed about the house and succeeded in rais- ing one-half the amount due the prima donna, which he hastily sent to her. But another quarter of an hour passed, and. though the audience slowed great impatience. there was no Patti. where ht the manager ran to her room.
 "My dear madam. why do you not go on? have sent you half the mon- ey, and the rest will reach you before the end of the first act"
 Patti smiled dolefully. exhibited the tips of her feet and said: You see. have only ue shoe on. l cannot go on the stage without the other. It would be quite impossible"
 Almost crazed. the manager rushed out and discovered that the other half of the money could be raised.-New York Tribune.

DEADLY SHRAPNEL.
Iood Man Killers" but Their Effeo.
 tiveness Is Limited.

1ood Man Killers" but Their Efeo. tiveness Is Limited.
 Shrapnel. so called after their in- ventor, the British General Shrapnel, are thin cases of tough steel contain ing a large number of bullets-in the British artillery 2G3 and in the French and German 3OO--with small burst ing charge at the base of the prQject1le.
 The bursting charge breaks the thin steel case, when the bullets sweep for ward with the velocity imparted to the projectile by the gun. Shrapnel are regarded as good man killers," but they are quite ineffective against buildings, where shells are deadly. For the attack of field guns and build ings and for action against troops in trenches most armies employ hOwitz- CTS, which are short, squat guns that toss their projectiles high in the air, high angle fire.
 In the British army every division has fifty-four field guns and eighteen howitZers. These howitZers are of 4.5 inch caliber, firing shell 4.5 inch In diameter and weighing thirty-five pounds They have range of 7.2OO yards. which is 1000 yards greater than the range of the British field gun.
 The defect of the howitzer is that it's shell is very heavy. and conse- quently much fewer rounds can be carried than with the field gun. There is no security that single howitzcr shell will do twice the damage of an ordinary field gun shell, though 1t weighs twice as much.
 The French do not employ a howitz- CT in their field artillery. The Ger mans use heavy pattern Of six 1nch caliber, firing a shell of about ninety pounds. and lighter pattern Of AZ inch caliber.-New York Sun.

THE RED CROSS.
It's Real Origin Dates to Napoieon's
 Italian Campaign of 1859.

It's Real Origin Dates to Napoleon's
 Italian Campaign of 1859.
 The Red Cross owes it's real origin to the great and terrible campaign or 1859, when Napoleon made 1t his boast that he would free Italy from the Alps to the Adriatic." At the great battle of Magenta 10000 Austrians and some 5000 French soldiers were left dead and dying on the fields.
 A Swiss gentleman, named M. Henri Dunant, made pilgrimage to that battlefield and was an involuntary eyewitness of the awful carnage of the battle of Solferino. battle which last ed some sixteen hours and left some 30, 900 dead and wounded. Henri Du- nant realized that the medical service of what was probably the greatest army in the world was absolutely 1n- adequate to cope with the casualties. and he was at once compelled to take some action to rectify the matter.
 The result was that he wrote a small book for private circulation. en. titled "Un Souvenir de Solferino." and this. with his private appeal. resulted in Napoleon III. commanding Dunant to his presence, where, with the great Marshal MacMahon. they seriously talked matters over.
 The result of this was a conference of the powers. called together by the Swiss federal government. at which Henri Dunant placed his proposals. Out of this Geneva conference of 1864 resulted the Geneva convention. under which all medical supplies and person nel in war time are protected

A Prehistoric | ake.

One of the most interesting remnants of prehistoric lake in the United States is that now known as EStancia valley. which lies south of Santa Fe and east of Albuquerque. N. NJ. From examination of the deposits in this sec tion geologists are of the opinion that this lake existed at the same time as Lake Bonneville., in Utah. and other ancient lakes of the arid west during the cold, humid glacial period. The theory of the existence of an ancient lake in the valley is based on the pres ence of shore features and lake sedi- ments. Sea cliffs. terraces. beaches. beach ridges. splits and bars are found on all sides of the lake fiat at attitudes between 6.1OO and 6,2OO feet above sea level.-Argonaut.

Modern UhIana.

The uhlans are a distinctive corps. The name is by no means distinctly German. A body of uhlans was form ed for the French army by Marshal Saxe. They were introduced into the Prussian service in 174O. and forty years later the Austrians also had a corps of uhlans-light cavalry armed with lance. The modern uhIan may be classed with the heavy cavalry.-Lon- don Opinion.

The collar follows the line of the neck
to the top and then flares a bit from the
front opening and turns over. 1t is held
to the neck size at the base with a
little black tie. and below forms two
tiny lapels. The design will be found
exceptionally smart for tailored blouse.
Handkerchief linen is used for the set
at the right. A shaped band. hemstitch-

cut-out top. 1t is cut in square tabs
that turn over at the top. The cuffs
too, are cut in tabs running longer al
