IESS-
a Test of PHILOSOPHY.

Slowbetter is a calm man, not easily
upset. On one occasion, as his motor
car had come to a sudden stop, he
crawled underneath it to see what was
the matter.
Somehow or other some petrol ig-
lited. A fierce burst Of flame and
smoke came forth, enveloping Slowbet-
ter. In the midst Of the excitement he
walked 10 one side with bis usual slow
and regular step. His face was black.
his eyebrows and eyelashes were
singed, and what was left Of bis hair
and beard was a sight to behold.
Some one brought q mirror, and 10
had q look at himself. As usual, how
ever, he took matters philosophically.

ately, 81 was needing a shave and my

Besides marking the hours, it shows

world, the mean time and the solar
time, the age Of the moon, the move

It is also perpetual calendar. 1t was
made by Janvier Of Paris in 1889 and
took eleven years to manufacture.

lines on the Palms of Hands.

II cannot be said that the lines on
the palms Of our hands are OF any
great service to us. Indeed, 1t Is doubt
full IL they are OF any value In them
selves. outside Of the possible aid they
may be in helping US to determine the
character Of the surface Of things
which we grasp or touch 1t Is posi-
BILE that they aid in some slight degree
in this way. There is little doubt,
however, that they are result OF the
work the hands are constantly called
upon to do rather than contriyed for
any particular service. The habitual
tendency of the fingers In grasping and
holding things throws the skin OF the
palms into creases which through fire.
quent repetition make the lines Of the
palms permanent in several instances.
The popularity of these lines or
creases in various individuals as to de-
tails and length and variations Is the
chief basis of the so called science Of
palmistry.

Why They Walk In Circles. .

IF you were lost In a desert or La Q
forest and tried to find your way out,"
says q well known scientist, you
would be almost sure to walk In q
circle" This well known fact Is due
to a slight inequality In the length Of
the legs. Careful measurements Of q
series Of skeletons have shown that
only 10 per cent had the lower limbs
equal in length. 35 per cent had the
right limb longer than the left, while
In So per cent the left limb was the
longer.
The result OF one limb being longer
than the other will naturally be that q
person will unconsciously take longer
step with the longer limb, and conse-
quently will trend 20 the right or left,
according as the left or right leg is the
longer. The left leg being more fire.
quently the longer, the inclination
should take place more frequently to
the right than to the left, and this con-
clusion is quite borne out by observa-
lions made on a number Of persons
when walking blindfolded. The In
equality In the length Of limb Is not
confined to any sex or race, but SEEING
to be universal in all respects.

Courtesy In Business Pays.

In the American Magazine Is a story
by Fred c. Kelly to prove that cour-
tesy in business pays. 1t has to do
with George c. Boldt, manager Of the
Waldorf-Astoria in New York city and
former manager of Philadelphia hos
telry.
Zone night when all the hotels In
Philadelphia were crowded and It was
almost impossible to obtain a room a
man and his wife drove up to Boldt's
hotel and asked In a tone Of despair If
he could not give them a place to sleep.
"'Yes.' Boldt told them; you can
take my room. That's all ! have
''The next morning the guest told
Boldt that manager with his sense
Of courtesy would be an assured sue
cess in a much larger hotel
And added the guest. I'm willing
to provide you with the hotel
''S!nce then that same guest has In
vested many millions OF dollars In no
te!S under Boldts direction. The guest
was William Waldorf Aston"

THANKS, AGE-HERALD


The friends of the Birmingham Age
Herald in Selma, and that paper has
quite a large number of friends here,
will certainly appreciate the fine edi-
torial Endorsement and the very clear and
lucid editorial on the Selma amendment
found in Thursday mornings issue.
The Age-Herald appeared just a wee
bit slow about coming out for our amend
ment but perhaps it was just as well,
as when it did come, it came strong
and at time SO near the election that
those who read it will hardly forget
about it.
The ge-Heralds explanation Of the
meaning of the Selma amendment could
not have been more clearly and plainly
put by any one; even Selma man who
has studied the matter from every angle
could not have done the job better. This
editor has written several editorials on
the Selma amendment and the committee
has sent out much literature on it, but
it would be hard to find anything in
all the matter sent out that would be
more clear and convincing to the voters
than The Age-Herald's editorial. Again
we extend deep thanks and appreciation
on behalf Of Selma for the splendid ut
terance
