AscRlBED IT ALL TO FATE

on Account Of a Little shoot
ing Affair.

We we're standing round a small
fire--wrote Arminius Vambery, the
Hungarian linguist and traveller, in
his account Of a caravan journey to
Bokhafa-when we were startled by
two reports from firearms and the
loud yelling Of some person who was
badly hurt. The Whole caravan was
alarmed, and we all ran to the rear,
where we found one Of our compan-
ions with a shattered,arm. $500
The cause Of the ARRAY was this (:
Several horsemen who were convey
ing the annual taxes from Shiraz to
Teheran had come up with two jew
iaA shopkeepers, whom they first in
suited and then started to assault,
when a Persian Of our company in
terfered. One of the horsemen be-
came so enraged that he lifted his
rifle and shot at the Jews. He after
ward declared that he had intended
to brighten one of the Jews by shoot
ing through his cap, but he missed
his aim and hit the Persian's arm.
The incident so exasperated the
whole caravan that our men pursued
the culprit and brought him back
securely tied. The poor wretch was
given such a beating that he was
unable to walk, and was placed with
his victim on one of the caravan
mules. Left to themselves, the
would-be murderer and his victim
became quite friendly. They tied up
each others wounds, condoled one
another, and went so far in their
newborn friendship as to kiss each
other; for, according to the eastern
way of thinking, neither of them was
to be held responsible for what had
happened. Fate had willed it

SHARP ELBOWS MEAN HEALTH
Also They Do Not by Any Means De-
note the Possession Of a
Quick Temper.

There used to be notion that a
sharp elbow was the sign of a short
temper, and the wise lover would
better steer clear of a girl if the joint
in question was not nicely rounded.
AsdiInple on the side of the elbow
was regarded as a great. charm, and
in the I've stories of a generation
ago the heroine was often described
as possessing one.
Allsthat sort of thing is out Of
date now. Not only has fashion de.
cided that slim lines in the figure
are to be desired, but science has
come to the fore and pointed out
that firm-muscled form is an evil
dence of good health.
J A plump, rounded elbow means
that there is a considerable deposit
of fat at place where there ought
not to be any, and it implies a GER
tain lack of elasticity in the physical
makeup, which probably shows also
in the character.
The girl whose elbows are sharp
need no longer trouble about hiding
them with long sleeves, but may be
proud of the fact that they show a
trim and well-set frame.
