FACE TELLS TRUTH
Not Infrequent|y Reveals Ones
 Calling to Observer.
Characteristic Look 10 Partly Oevsl. oped by Nature of Work Which
 10 Individuals Occupation.

It seems to be pretty we'll agreed among those in position to speak authoritatively that associated with the various occupations ID life there is undoubtedly type of face which more or less betrays the calling of its owner.
 Medical men, especially in hospital practice, find acquaintance with these types valuable. They may not be able, with the shrewdness of Sherlock Holmes or of other acute persons, to read a mans past, present and future they are able to gauge with consider able accuracy how far the history of the case. as given by the patient, is truthful one. and how far it fits with his probable occupation in life.
 Calling must certainly have some in- fiuence over the physiognomy of the cabman, the butler or the groom. Each frequently possesses a type of face which wears so characteristic an ex- pression as to make if not difficult to identify the vocation accompanying 1t.
 We speak also of the legal face, the musical face, the dramatic face and the military face. This Is merely broad classification, and the best authorities disbelieve the claims of the keen ob- server that he can differentiate to a finer degree.
 There are tales of hospital physi- cians who claim to be able to say from a glance at the face that this or that man Is a butcher. grocer, bank clerk, a lawyers clerk, commercial traveller. stock broker, and so on. It Is thought that the fame of these medical men as rough and ready de- tectiveS has been largely manufac- tured for them by enthusiastic friends But that many medical men do possess great insight into the occupations of those who come before them is true. .
 The question Is often debated wheth- CT phySiognomy is a growth of voca- ton or whether il shows that the vO- cation chosen is in accordance With the particular capacity and ability of lHt DeISOi to NHoII u btIobSN. other words, if the lawyer does not show the legal face" the aspiring minister the "ecclesiaStical face the medical student the "physicianly face" the soldier the military face" the question arises Is that sign that they have mistaken their callingf
 Is the man who doesn't look bit like doctor" likely to fail because his physlognomc qualification is want ing? Or will he. whatever his original features. gradually come to acquire the type of the profession to which he belongs?
 The answer to the question Is, of course. that both theor1es are right. A certain kind of face, the sO-called scientific face is so often seen among medical students as 10 prove that the owner of that cast of countenance is likely to adopt medicine as career. Conversely, whatever the original cast of features a medical man may have possessed the anxious. delicate and absorbing work of medical practice will put 8 stamp upon them.

THE BIG STICK

4 T the cracking of twig in the 1A still depths of the Adirondack mountains Roosevelt turned to see a guide coming out of the woods with the unexpected news that Mckinley's condition was worse. Although he hastened to Buffalo, the president had died 13 hours before the vice president arrived.
 At the outset of RoOsevelt's ad- ministration a fearful citizen begged the rough rider not to permit his fight ing spirit to plunge the country into aa international war. What v the pres ident exclaimed. "A war, and l cooped up here in the White House? Never!"
 Many forgot the first half of the old motto that Roosevelt made his own. Speak softly and carry big stick" No man ever had simpler faith in the efficacy of first talking it Over." man fashion, with an adversary, whether senator or an ambassador.
 The meddlesome German kaiser was the earliest to feel the "big stick" to see if 1t was only stuffed with straw. Germany and Tory government of England were On the point of seizing territory as security for some claims

against Venezuelan citizens when Roosevelt succeeded in dissuading Eng land from such step, but he failed to induce Germany to arbitrate the matter. ThereupOn he told the Ger. man ambassador that unless the Berlin government consented to arbitration in ten days. he would send Admiral Dewey to stop the Germans from land ing in Venesuela The ambassador protesting that the kaiser could not back down now, Roosevelt replied that he was not arguing with him but was simply telling him what would happen
 After waiting week without an answer from Berlin, he told the am bassador that he was going to cut the limit to nine days and that unless Germany agreed in 4S hours to arbi' trate. Dewey would sail. In 38 hours the ambassador came back with message announcing that Germany con- sented,
 In good time Roosevelt employed tie influence of his unique position before the world to bring to an end the RuSso-Japanese war. Shrewdly choosing the right moment to step In, he appealed to the two belligerents with a common sense and a simple directness that a friend would use in bringing together two quarreiing neigh bors. Afterward he steered the peace conference at Portsmouth against it's will steadily toward peace of recon ciliation. an impatient Russian declar. fpg that his "steel wrist" hammered out treaty that neither of the powers wanted at that time and that "the ter rlble American president-Il StrenuOsO was capable of locking the conferees into a room and starving them into submission"
 Instead of starting a war, the Dig stick" stopped the only great war that broke out in the period of its sway.
 While the Roosevelts were its ten ants, the White House was an ex- ample and the center of the simple family life of America mot second-rate palace" the president said, "but the home of a self-respecting American citizen" A few months af- ter graduating at Harvard, Roosevelt married Miss Alice Hathaway Lee of Boston, whom he had met in his col lere days This bride of his youth passed from life as her daughter Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth-en- tered it.
 Nearly three years afterward he sailed from New York, directly follow ing an unsuccessful campaign for mayor to marry friend and neighbor of his childhood, Miss Edith Kermit Carow, who was sojourning in Europe.

Rat Heroes.

From Paris comes the news that the authorities are making war on rats But the despised rat once did tlP French good turn according to Colonel Repington's history of the war He says: 'On the parapets of the front trenches are what look like window flower boxes. They contain chemical materials for making a smoke screen to lift the German gas when it comes. All the rats in the trenches congregate round these smoke boxes when the gas comes. AS they realize that they save themselves from suffO- cation. This process of lifting the German poison gas was discovered quite by chance. Dug'ng q gas at tack some straw was sef on fire by ac- cident and forced the German smoke op. The rats came in swarms to squat round the burning straw and gave the French the hint"

REFUSED TO TAKE CHANGES
Fortune TeIIer's Prediction Caused Crows Of Two Vessels to Desert
 the Boats at Quebec.

From time immemorial Superstilons of sailors, with few exceptions, have naturally been associated with things of the sea, notably the belief which marks departure from port on Friday as a certain omen of bad luck. St Elm0's fire. the bo'sun fish, whistling for the wind in a calm, the presence of . priest on board ship, all these deal with actual clements of sea life that played great part among such legends. The Flying Dutchman legend was also born of the sea :; likewise he ghostly crew coming from the wreck of sunken ship D haunt the crew of the vessel which caused their loss.
 A more annoying variety of super stttion was rev ealed the other day oy the action of the crews of two Amer ican tugs who deserted their boats at Quebec. Before these two boats left Detroit bound for New York d fortune teller predicted the doom of one of the boats before 1t finished its voy- age. This prophecy so worked on the sensibilities of the members of the two crews that they struck on reaching Quebec. Old salts might sniff al such prophecy as this as being of the fresh-water brand and not worthy to be enrolled in the ancient and honor able company of deep-sea superstitions. but the prophecy worked its evil upon the tug owners. The loss of their crews made d real thing of It.

Energy in the Atom.

The knowledge of radIoactivity, which has been growing since the dis covery of the X-ray and of radium, has revealed the atom as a tremendous storehouse of energy. The atomic en- ergy contained, for example. In the two-inch piece of chalk with which the lecturer makes his diagrams is calculated to be 100000 OOO foot tons
 enough to raise 100000 tons 3,OOO feet At present we do not know how to liberate the power We know that It exists only by observing the spontane- ous disintegration of radioactive sub stances but knowledge sometimes comes quickly; persons now living may see the day when atomic energy will be used.-Youth's Companion.

Guests at Banquet.
The Japanese delegates were en-.

Navy. the United States Army, the
federal government and the city OF
San Francisco We're represented.
The banquet concluded a day OF
sightseeing and festivities provided
by local authorities in honor OF the
delegation. Members of the delega-
tor spoke aud listened to short ad-
dresses on the potentlalities of the
Forthcoming international conference.
Il am glad tina: this conference is
to be held in America. where you nave
arrived at point of peoples diplo-
macy" Admiral Kato said upon ar
rival of the party. Whatever the
governments may do will be of no ef-
feet unless supported by the people.
1.-The earnestness Of the Japanese
cannot be surpassed by the earnest
ness Of any other nation in regard to
this conference. While travelling
through America and Europe recently
l was impressed with the necessity of
establishing some agency that would
clear away MISUNDERSTANDING. Inter-
national differences seem TO be de-
rived from mere MISUNDERSTANDING.
when I returned to Japan l advo-
Gated privately that some sort of con-
ference OF the nations should be held
in order to clear away these misun-
derstandings.
II believe that the peoples of all
nations are behind the Washington
project
II may doe too Etopian to hope that
th, objectiveS of the conference shall
be the absolute prevention of all Was,
but it should b" uppermost in the
minds of AL those taking part that:
through the agencies of this confer
ence. greatest strides possible may be
taken toward that new goal. Every
effort should be made to make it i'm
possible for any nation to resort to
arms for the advancement Of it's am
bitions."

Complains Of Passed Stops.
+. A. Fernald complained of the
practice of the railway companies In
running cars past the loading plat
forms. He made motion tnat the
Public Utilities Commission be re-
quested to prohibit the street rail-
way companies from placing car stop
signs more than forty feet away from
an intersectmg street.
The running of cars past the plat
forms is a necessity during rush
hours in order to expedite service.
A. d. Sartweu explained. while W.
l.. Rhoads. chairman of the public
matter had been taken up before. He
said that at that time he was In
formed that the commission had per-
mitted such practice on the
of a traffic expert,
and that unless some very good rea-
son could be shown for its abandon
ment it would be, continued.
On the motion of w. l.. Gutelius, the
original motion was amended ana
adopted to provide. that the pubic
utilities committee be directed to IN
vestigate.
Fears Hurting Of Community.
we'll said that protest after protest
had been presented at almost every
meeting of the association. until the
general belief had developed that
Petworth had no car service at all.
He said that this continual protest.
ing about the service there was hurt-
ing the community rather than help
ing 1t.
The association decided to conduct
its own membership drive when the
city- wide drive Of the Federation OF
Citizens Associations is going on. X.

effective work already had been done
by the associations membership com
mittee, and that he could not see the
necessity of participating in the gen.
eral drive.
