Whistler Was . Dandy.

If taking infinite pains with his ap- pearance means dandyism. then Whis. tier was a dandy. The very word pleased him. and he used it often, in American fashion. to express Tserfec- tiOn or charm or beauty. Never was any man more particular about his per son and his dress. He was as careful of his hair as wOman. though there was no need of the curling tOngs with which he has been reprOached: the diff tculty was to restrain his curls and keep them in order. The white lock gave just the right touch. However fashion changed. he always wore the mustache and little imperial which other West Point men of his genera tiOn retained. through life. Even, his thick. bushy eyebrows were trained. and they added to the humorous or sardOnic expression of the deep blue eyes from which many shrank.-Pen- nell's life of Whistler"

A PEOPLE OF CONTRASTS.
Italians, Like Their Land, Endowed
 With Great Physical Charm.

Wttn 1reat FhJsicaI NnaTU.
 Province by province Italy manifests a varying charm and the people differ as widely as their surroundings. The hot blOoded southerner observes diff Ares to anger or interest more quickly and Is generally less dependable and industrious than his northern brother. Both are gifted with the black eyes and hair and the swarthy complexion as a race that is general characteris- tic of the Latin peoples. But the Ital- ian is. broadly speaking, like his csun- try. endowed with physical beauty and charm beyond that of most of his fellows.
 In the. north. however. there are ex- ceptions-fair haired and reddish men place among their dark neighbors. Cool. temperate exotics they are among the higher colored growths that some. how seem so tropical. with their sultry smiles and fathOmless. mysterious eyes, in which forever brOOds the shadow of everywhere dominates all Italy. even to the delightful carabinieri, or rural guards. those Napoleonic looking off, cials who parade always solemnly in pairs. hangers at their sides. cockades In their black beavers. the majesty of the law in every line and footstep.- National Geographic Magazine.

Deputy Marshal Healy of Talkeet- na wired the MarshaI's office at this place this morning, stating that Tal- keetna native, Nikolai Stephen had murdered another native named Tal- keetna Stephen, by beating him to death with a club. A native girl who witnessed the crime reported the oc- currence to Marshal Healy, who has instructed Deputy Marshal Harry Brown to use every effort to appre- hend the murderer, who is still at large.

BUSINESS SlGNB0ARDS.
They Were Used at First Only by the
 Inns and Taverns.

They were Used at ttrot Only oy tno
 Inns and Taverns.
 The first tradesmen to adopt the use of signs were the innkeepers. and from earliest times in England and on the continent the taverns of town and country were distinguished by sign boards bearing the names of the hos telries. It was not until the sixteenth century that merchants dealing in oth- CT than liquid refreshments began to erect signs over their doors.
 Once started the custom spread rap- idly, and the seventeenth century was q period of prosperity for the sign painters of England. Even in London the houses and shops were not num- bered, so a tradesman's place of busi- ness could only be known by a sign. The ingenuity of the merchants was taxed in such city as London to pro- vide an original sign that would stick in the memories of passersby.
 A man starting in business cOnsid- cred a striking sign his most impor- tant investment. These signs, often huge in size. were sometimes slung en- tirely across the street. As they grew old they occasionally fell and thus be- came a source of danger. Such signs were prohibited by parliament in the year 1762. and after that merchants had to be content with more modest signs placed fiat against the fronts of their buildings. s.-New York World.

Epjtaph of . Cynic.

John Goodman of Sutton. Surrey county. England. was . cynic. His own will convicts him of so being. He directed in this document that no wom. en be allowed in his funeral cortege And on his tombstone he bade that the following verse be carved:
 thee, And now am careless what thou say'st of
 me- Thy smiles l car'st not, nor thy frowns
 fear. My care is past, my head lies quiet here. What faults you see in me take care to
 shun And look at home. enough is to be done.
