From Paris comes the news that
the authorities are making war on
rats. But the despised rat once did
the French good turn. according to
Colonel Repingtons 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 smoke
screen to lift the German gas when IL
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. During a gas at.
tack some straw was set on fire by ac-
cident and forced the German smoke
up. The rats came in swarms to SQUAT
round the burning straw and gave the
French the hint"

Beware,

Green, Brown and johnson were in
vited to Robinson's Christmas dinner.
On the way there Brown remarked
to Johnson and Green:
"By the way, you fellows, I Just
want TO give you friendly warning.
Beware of Rohinson's champagne
So when the drinks were produced,
johnson and Green said they would
drink nothing stronger than lemonade.
Much TO their surprise, however,
Brown did not follow their example
but drank the champagne. So on the
way home they asked him:
What really was the matter with

FACE Tells TRUTH
Not InfrequentIy Reveals Ones
Calling to Observer.
Characteristic Lock Is Partly DeveL
oped by Nature Of Work Which
Is individuals Occupation.

1t seems to be pretty well agreed
among those in a position to speak
authoritatively that associated with
the various occupations in life there
is undoubtedly a 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 man past. present and future
by glance at him in the street, but
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 II fits with
his probable occupation in life.
Calling must certainly have some in
1uence over the physiognomy of the
cabman, the butler or the groom. Each
frequently possesses a type of face
which wears so characteristic an ex-
preston as to make 1t not difficult TO
Identify the vocation accompanying II.
We speak also Of the legal face. the
musical face. the dramatic face and the
military face. This is merely a broad
classification, and the best authorities
disbelieve the claims of the keen OBJ
server that he can dlfferentiate to a
finer degree.
There are tales OF hospital physi-
clans who claim to be able to say from
a glance AT the face that this or that
man is a butcher. a grocer. a bank
clerk, a lawyers clerk, a commercial
Traveller, a stock broker. and so on.
II 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.
er physiognomy is growth Of voca.
ton or whether IL shows that the vo-
cation chosen is In accordance with
the particular capacity and ability Of
the person 10 whom IL belongs. In
other words. IL the lawyer does not
show the legal face" the aspiring
minister the ecclesiastical face" the
medical student the "physiclanly face"
the soldier the military face" the
question arises. Is that a sign that
they have mistaken their calling7
Is the man who doesn't look a bit
like a doctor" likely to fail because
his physiognomic 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 theories are right. A
certain kind Of face, the so-called
scientific face, is so often seen among
medical students as to prove that the
owner Of that cast of countenance Is
likely to adopt medicine as a 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 stamp upon them.

for the stairway was empty. A talk
with Andrew March was worth a risk I:
II was necessary II they were TO work
together for escape. They would need
q policy 70 guide their remaining days
in captivity. Anything was better
than these brooding medltations alone.
The FIRE IN the young prisoners veins
focused 10 some purpose. He descend
ed the stairs. but at the foot ot them
discovered that they had brought him
no nearer the voice. In fact. there were
other voices unpleasantly near. He
went up again and leaned over his
wall, 20 learn how the monkey climbed
up and down so readily. Quite certain
ly now he heard his friend talking.
The stars were a cool. faint light upon
the walls, which were rough-hewn. He
could distinguish the ledge Of a win
dow below him, halfway to the
ground.
He knotted the silken cloths from
the diyan In the first room and fast
eped one end OF this soft rope to the
stone bench. II was not difficult to let
himself down over the rim OF wall
easing the strain by pressing his knees
into the depressions OF masonry. His
toes found the ledge He grimly hoped
that he had heard Alright. that March
was really near. The window was open,
the prayer stopped.
"Hello,"
The stiffness OF the whole earth
seemed TO originate just at this window
ledge. Then hand touched him and
March whispered: Don't talk"
The elder prisoner moved back into
the darkness, while Con came in at
the window. Suddenly there began a
scramble, with stormy blows and a
rattle. March. was at grips with his
guard, having taken for granted that
Lexington meant to attempt escape.
Con sensed this mistake, but It was
not time for explanation. He stepped

come, my two friends"
The RELIEF was dreamIike TO Con.
He realized that no physical effort on
his own part could help; in fact, he
was perilously near to trusting In God,
and this seafaring Arab, who had If
teen years ago answered the call of
the Sha Mo, was the very hand of
Providence Con wondered how strong
the hand might be. The desert seemed
further away, TO be under it. But in
memory he could hear the penetrant
singing of the hollow brass through
the night. Chez Ming would not give
up easily.
There seemed llmitless multitude
OF the earth-dwellers, moving in quiet
disorder through the cavern every.
where. Lexington had an uncanny
sense OF being under the crust OF the
earth. They led him to an adjoining
chamber as large as the entire palace.
The floor of this second cavern was
riven across, and long greenish line
OF flame wavered In the warm air.
Through and between the gently lsap-
ing blaze, he saw a great host of faces

expansive glow upon the high walls,
where were number Of black holes.
In each Shadowy pocket were human
beings, looking down upon the stran-

were gaunt and small but not so bro

In the limited Thinese vocabulary
Of Andrew March, and the nearly for.
gotten English of the Arabian sailor,
assurances were hastily exchanged.
The telling factor was the Arabs high
opinion of Buffalo, the port of grain
and hogs. March agreed TO bring FIVE
hundred troopers to stop the produc-
ton of koresh, and so free the work
ers, II they aided him TO escape from
Tau Kuan and the Gobi. Remember
ing the wealth OF Buffalo. the Arab
interpreter was ready to believe that
this could be done.

CAN 1--WE CHtApLY IN HAITI
Food Costs Little, and Tips for serv
ices Rendered Are Hardly Worth
While Considering.

Labor and living are cheap in Haiti
There is hotel in Port au Prince,
rated as the best, that charges only
"a a day for room and three square
meals.
True, the rooms are small, with the
ancient washbowl. and unlOckable,
with concrete floors and rugless, but
they are clean and comfortable.
The same meals could not be OBJ
tanned anywhere in the United States
at double the price. Luncheon Is a
regular dinner and dinner is much like
an eight-course feast.
They never serve less than two or
three meats, when one, according to
the American habit, would be enough.
There is fruit in abundance in Haiti,
and boy standing on the front porch,
overlooking the sea, often picks the
breakfast oranges.
The favorlte dish Is the chicken,
served 365 Gays In the year without
the least variation. Nobody ever
wants TO see a chicken after staying
three weeks in Haiti.
A Haitian boy, waiting faithfully
on a guest for 81 meals. beams his
delight when tipped gourdes, which
is 60 cents. The maid, whose chief
duty is to spread the mosquito net,
almost drops to her knees for the same
fee weekly. The boy who fetches the
water and fixes the shoes gladly slips
a man extra towels for gourdes
week.
Laundry at American rates would
cost more than room and board in
Haiti. II there were lauudries. There
Is much TO go out from each room
daily TO washerwomen. and 1t comes
back spick and span at nominal cost.
But Haiti has not reached the point
where IT may bid for tourist travel.
A man, stopping at the hest hotel here
for the first time feels rather foolish
when he asks for room and bath and
is conducted to a little house 90 feet
away, where he may get shower.
It's a hard life for women.
The best, however, is in sharp con-
trast with the worst, for the lahorer
gets 20 cents a day. and thousands
Of natives live only on fruit that grows
wild everywhere, the year round, like
the roses.
