his voice eloquent in spite of himself
His words he could guard, but it was
hard to keep from his speech the song

about the fire, to see her from moment

to her, to meet her glance, pleased him

The Human Face.

Rosa BOnheur, the great painter of
animals, had system of mnemonics
which was exceedingly quaint. She
could trace IN the faces of those peo-
pie who visited her a resemblance to
some sort of animal. For instance, If
some one reminded her of a certain
lady she would probably hesitate for
a moment and then say, ooh, yes, the
lady with the camel facew or, "Oh, I
remember-she had a COW facew This
memory system was not flattering to
her friends, but it showed how satu-
rated she was with knowledge of an
imals and their characteristics. On ev-
cry human face she found a likeness to
some animal she had studied and de-

The Moor and His Horse.

The horsemastership of the Moors ~
primitive and entirely successful. a
Moor never walks when he can ride
and never by any chance gets off to
ease his beast. The Moorish horse al
ways spends his nights in the open.
He is never groomed or clipped. His
youth is passed wandering INTENDED
over the vast fields. When in work
he gets all the barley he wants at
night and a drink before his feed in
the evening. From I a. III. to I p. N.
he expects to work and to work hard
without bite or sup. His saddle is a
wooden tree superimposed on at least
half dozen folded blankets, the thick
ness of which often reaches six inches,
and he never sets sore back.

quiet for another day, and part Of it

He was indeed quite comfortable,

much for granted in their relationship.
1t was delightful to be so watched over,

Mrs. McFarlane hung up the receiver
The old womans nasty chuckle was in

Mrs. McFarlane was perfectly aware
that she was not silencing the gossip;
on the contrary, she was certain that
the Beldens would leave a trail Of
poisonous comment from the Ptarmi-
gan to Bear Tooth. 1t was all sweet
material for them.
Berrie wanted to know who was
speaking, and Mrs. McFarlane replied,
Mrs. Belden wanted to know If you

"She said something else, something
to heat you up" persisted the girl,
who perceived her mothers agitation.
What did she say-something about

The mother did not answer, for Way

SIGNAL FLAGS.

Signaling by flags, as the term is now
universally understood, was invented In
the year 1854 by Surgeon Myer of the
United States army. Before Surgeon
Myers invention the only flag signal
ing was by color; but, realizing the in
adequacy of such mode of conveying
information, DR.. Myer studied out the
system of 'wigwagging," or talking,
by making motions with the flag, a sort
of deaf and dumb telegraphy, which
has since been adopted by pretty near
ly all the nations of the world
