Gestures Tell More
Than Spoken Words

It is one of the most difficult things
in the world to act lie. Gesture is,
in fact, far more revealing-and far
more truthful than speech. Compar-
atively few persons possess complete
control of this Language Of the body"
Neither golden tongue nor a voice
thrilling with passion is any match
for a contradicting gesture or glance.
Scientific study of gestures has
shown that they fall naturally into
two classes-acceptance or rejection.
Almost every gesture Of which we
are capable belongs to one or other Of
these classes, for, in truth, the Ian
guage Of gesture is much simpler than
the language Of the lips. Upward
movements Of the head, hands, arms
or eyelids belong to the former class,
and downward movements to the lat
ter. There are few exceptions to this,
but they only prove the rule. For
example, there is way Of raising the
eyebrows that expresses a sheer, but
then a sneer Is deliberate, whereas
the gestures that are really tell-tale
are always made without delIberation.

Nye's FIRST and Last
Job as Paper Hange,

I decided to economic in the mat
ter Of paper hanging, thinking that I
would save the paper hangers bill and
put the money into preferred trotting
stock. So I read household hint,
which stated how one should make
and apply paste to wall paper, how
to apply the paper, and all that. The
paste was made by uniting -four, wa
ter and glue in such a way as to Sc
cure the paper to the wall and yet
leave it smooth. First the walls had
to be "sized." However, 1 took tape
measure and sized the walls.
Next began to cook the paste in a
large milk pan. 1t looked very repul-
sive, but it looked so much better than
it smelled that did not mind. Then
l put about cents worth of it on one
roll of paper and got up on the chair
to begin. My idea was to apply it to
the wall mostly, but the chair tipped,
and so I papered the piano and my
wife on the way down. My wife gasped
for breath, and then she laughed at
me. That Is the reason took another
end Of the paper and repapered her
face. I cannot bear to have anyone
laugh at me when am unhappy
