One on the PauOnbroker

He stood, apparently deep In
thought, under the three golden balls
which hung above the doorway of the
shop.
Presently resolution came to him; he
crossed the threshold and inquired Of
the proprietor: "How much will you
give me for this coat7"
"a shilling" retorted the pawnbrok-
er, cycling the shabby garment with
undisguised contempt.
ooh, make 1t shillings," exclaimed
the seedy one. "Hang 1t all, this COATS
worth 8 bob If it's worth a penny"
my vriend," said the pawnbroker,
81 wouldn't give vive shillings for two
overgoats like that-no, certainly /
couldn't"
"Come, come !" replied the seedy one,
persuasiyely. "Would you take shil-
ling for 1t if the coat were yours?"
''Yes, and think I'd done wellr'
"Ah, then, that's all right. Here's
your bob l found the coat outside
and brought it In to see how much 1t
was really worth. Toronto Globe.

Denizens of the Deep
Haze Some Human Ways

Fish stories are important items of
human experience, and the teeming
life of the sea has ups and downs to
match any fortune Of the land. Young
oysters, we are told, settle down to
work after forty-eight hours of making
a splash In their world.
Some become pearl manufacturers,
and others just hang around the bars
plain old soaks. Starfish sometimes
visit oyster communities and work the
old shell game. Well, the oysters have
made their beds-let them lie in them.
And there are the limpets. They
prowl around at night, but always in
the morning they manage to find their
own flats on the old home rock, and so
save their faces in the eyes Of the COM
munity. All, those sly, frollicking linn
pets.
And what armories Of teeth-whelks
have from POO to $50 each, wrinkles
800, and the umbrella shell about
10000 to the set. What time there
must be when the little umbrella
shells are teething. Whelks, mOnl
Life at the bottom of the sea is a
pretty serious buslness-Nation's
Business.

Many Honest Citizens
Haze Criminal Faces

Have you a criminal face? OF course
you haven't, you exclaim Indignantly.
Yet thousands Of absolutely respecta-
BILE, law-abiding citizens have devel-
oped, or are developing criminal faces,
remarks London Answers.
How? Because, with defective eye
sight. they shirk wearing glasses. MI
nus glasses, anyone with impaired
vision screws his or her eyes up and
peers. That's to get focus; but the
effect is to create an appearance Of
furtiyeness, and it depends on the
build of a face whether the furtive-
ness increases to an appearance Of
craftiness and cunning.
Again, there are thousands Of quite
sweet-tempered folk who look ill-tem-
pered. Vertical lines run up their
forehead as the result Of "screwing"
their eyes. Thus is "cross" face
made.
1t may be argued that what man
is In character, and not what he seems
to be facially, is what counts. But that
applies only to those who know him.
When we meet a stranger our first
judgment Of him, our decision whether
we shall like him or not, depends to
very great extent on his facial appear
ance.
That is not to say that plainness, or
even ugliness, If not Of the repellant
type, will make us give an adverse YER
dict, for charm Of manner or speech
may frequently cancel these things.
But If the stranger looks at us fur
lively, just because he ought to be
wearing glasses, and isn't, or, because
of the same omission, looks ill-tem-
pered, what then? We don't take to
him. Our judgment is wrong, of course;
but he has asked for It.
The very obvious moral is-if you
need glasses, get them and wear them.
In these days we cannot afford to han
dicap ourselves by letting our faces be
our misfortune What we look like
does really count.
