There is no book in the world so enter
taining as a human face. Pretty or
h finely, intelligent or opaque, there is
never-ending curiosity about it and what
it may reveal. 'There are ho many con
tradictions, .‘■nggestions, disappoint
ments, and surpr. es —alike such wealth
of undiscovered qualities and such bar
renness of qualities sought. The fare
may be ideal according to poet and
sculptor, yet void and unattractive,
while some snub-nosed little brunette,
with not a regular line in her physiogo

as an acre of face can
was a witty woman’s de
scription of a dull man. She meant that
the blank surfa< e of his countenance
gave one the impression < f space, proba
bly be* ause the landmarks were not so
distributed as to create expression.
'The most irnpo tant point is the pro
porti >n of the features. If you look at
the ideal head in full face you will see
that the line pussin ;■ through the center
of both ryes div i>s the head exactly in
the middle, giving, for the nicest possi
ble balance, as much height below as
above.
Next, every feature and every trait
should be entirely in harmony with the
rc.-t, all expressing the -nine meaning.
It is not enough that one portion is made
accord ng to artistic canons—a tine nose,
a beuutilul mouth, a poetic forehead, a
noble throat and chin; but the entire
fare should correspond with its most
striking and perfect feature, if not in
contour at least in significance. 1 hysi
ognomists have tried too much to sepa
rate qualities, to locate c rlaiu attributes
in certain parts, where it is as much the
relation of cv ry one to the whole that
should be studied in determining char
acter. The whole is in every part.
'The two most important lines in every
fu"C are those which represent the cleft
ol the noitli and the contour of the
upper eyelid. They are always horizon
tal, an l horizontal lines are signs of sta
bility and persistence. It has been as
serted by careful observers that there are
moro good foiehcuds and eyes than good
mouths and chins. If that be true men
have the advantage over women, because
a beard can cover the defective line of
chin and the mustache can hide the
pinched or sen uul lips.
Small mouths have been likened to
rosebuds, but it is the broad, flexible,
histrionic mouth, after all, that has the
most meaning in it. W certain form of
tho upper lip called “Cupid’s bow’’ is
considered very beautiful. 'The center
of its uppe lino comes down to a sharp
point, and the center of its under line
comes also into a point,rather less sharp,
and forming a 1 ttlo ball or drop that
sometimes delicately clasps the lowor
lips, frequently hangs loos • above it and
parted from it. 1 rum the e two points
the lines sweep away on either side in
two pairs of ogee curv s. Painters are
never satisfied wiihout this kind of a
mouth, and a tiesses imitate it with
their r. uge. Someone has said ; “Na
ture makes the other features, but the
individual is responsible for his mouth,”
which would seem to bo true, as in chil
dren tlio mouth is entirely expressionless
and ting iverued. while the eyes reveal
tho foe lings.
If tlio upper head expre ses the intelli
gence of a man, the lower one reveals
the measure of his strength. The move
able features o the ones that have most
to do with passing changes of thought
and feeling, are the nostrils, eyes and
brows. Mrs. Siddons and John ivemble,
both representing a very high order of
beauty, had very expressive nostrils.
T. o class of muscles that operate them
were in both especially powerful.
The eyes are the tellers of s 'crets, and
their language is quite as well under
stood as that of the tongue. They are
armed with the most potent of human
weapons—tears.
The inner extremity of the eyebrow is
a very expressive feature; there is as
much menace in it as in a clinched list.
Who has not noticed the resemblance
to animals in human facesf It was said
that George Eliot looked like a horse,
Goethe like a lion, and Carlyle like a
grizzly hear. Tin re arc plenty of human
birds. Tiioreau had an actual bird wild
ness about him. II is high nose was like
a beak and his eyes had the alertness and
clearness of the wood's creatures. Wo
men are sometimes called lions, from
their narrow range of ideas and their
fussy cackling ways. Among them, too,
are many cats—soft, purring things who
love warm corners and caresses and dain
ty food, and who move with silent,
stealthy steps.
resides these we see among human
types the dog and the donkey, the sheep
and the hog, the squirrel and the rat.

The Fat Passenger’s Hat.
A fat man with anew plug liat was
laughing merrily in the Northwestern
Repot yesterday afternoon. “Just beat
this road from*Milwaukee to Chicago,”
he said, with a roar. “1 wanted to get
to this town the worst way, but l didn't
have a cent. It was too co.d to steal a
ride, so 1 made up mv mind to get into
the best car of the train and trust to
luck. We had gist got out of Bay \ lew
when a queer scheme struck me. Rais
ing the window l ran my head out and
began sniffing the cold air. My plug hat, j
which was not the best in the world, was
for obvious reasons tilted on the back of i
mv head. The conductor came down the
aisle of the car. Never before did a j
ticket-puncher make such rapid prog
ress. He flitted from -cat to seat like a
butterfly. Pretty soon 1 felt liis hot
breath oil the back of my neck and then j
I heard him yell: ‘Ticket please’.' I
was too much interested in the passing !
scenery to pay any attention to the
hoarse, rasping voice. There was a mo
ment of intense silence, during which
my heart b at a loud accompaniment to
the puffing of the engine, and then I felt ‘
the conductor's hand fall heavily upon j
my shoulder. The concussion was s.
great that my plug hat fell oil into the
snow. The conductor stood aghast when
I withdrew my uncovered head and j
looked angrily into his pale la c.
“ ‘You’ve done it." I exclaimed with
a fierce air.
“ “I didn't jostle your hat off. did If
he asked.
•* "That's what you did.'
“ ‘But your ticket wasn't in it?’’
“ ‘Certainly.'
There was another moment of silence
and then the conductor said :
“ Tin sorry, but you’ll have to pay
your fare.’
“ ‘1 have no more money,’ he replied;
‘my all was in that bar. Can’t you stop
the train:’
“ ‘The tile is a mile behind us. It’s
against ordeis, ut lil let yo 1 through
without additional charge. Next time
keep your head in the car.’
•• ‘But my hat.’ I exclaimed with a
bold air. ‘I lost it through your rude
ness and Imusi 1 eindemnified. ’
“ "Indemnified nothing. There's no
hat store on the train.’
“ But v u have got to get me a hat
iust the same.’ '
•‘ “Oh, I guess not.'
“ ‘Well, I guess yes.’
“ "What are you goiug to do about
it:”
‘Report you to Marvin llughitt," I
j yelled with defiant mien,
j “ "Thai's a chestnut. Go to sleep.
! I'll wake you up when we get to
Chicago.'
“This is what I did, and when I woke
up (the train was then passing Rose Hill
Cemetery) I found this new tile on my
head. You can see by the initial- list
above the sweatband that the hat be
longed to the conductor. I didn't see
him again during the rest of the trip,
but I'll bet dollars to clam shells that
that fellow would kick himself from
here to Sturgeon Pay if he knew how
beautifully he had been sold.”— Chicaio
Herald.
NOTES OF CURRENT EVENTS.
A Chicago butcher admits that two
thirds of the canned meat sold in the
markets there as chicken is in reality
the meat of rabbits that have be n long
frozen.
The jury that recently tried two sa
loon keepers of Woodland, Cal., for
grand larceny returned this verdict;
• Wc, the jury, find the defendants not
guilty, with the recommendation that
they leave the town within forty-eight
hours.”
Nicholas Shear, of Hartland, Mich ,
went home for a week’s spree one day
last week, and the next morning put
Paris green in the waterpail used by the
family. Then he for ot all al.oii; it and
drank of the water himself and died.
Ilis wife discovered the poisou in the
dipper before any other person drank of
it.
A Commercial traveller says that in
Pittsburgh barrooms one can buy two
drinks for a quarter, aud if he buys one
drink he pays fifteen cents and receives
a check which represents two and one
half cents. The next time he wants a
drink he pays ten cents and the check.
It seems a good scheme to encourage
trade.
A Traveller in one of the hotels of
Bangor, Ale., put his false teeth in a
glass of water when he went to led the
other night. In the morning tlie water
was frozen solid, and as the water pipes
in the house were also frozen, he had to
take the glass to bed with him, and
t us thaw the ice before he could go to
breakfast.
Some months ago Daniel Kelly, of
Port Clinton, Pa, saw that a heavy
boulder had fallen on the track of the
Fennsylvania Railroad, and he managed
to run ahead and stop an approaching
passenger train in time to avert a wreck.
The other day he received a costly watch
and chain with the compliments of the
railroad company.
A Chicago drummer tells of a mer
chant in Walnut, 111., who, being pros
perous and a heavy buyer, is well treated
by the commercial travellers, and has
many a cigar offered to him. Ho always
takes the cigar, says “Its against my
principles to smoke in business hours; I’ll
light this after supper,” and when he
gets a hundred puts them in a box and
sells them to a train ooy on the Burling
ton road for half price.
A Y'oung woman of Louisville was
carefully picking her way along a slip
pery sidewalk the other day just behind
an elderly and portly man. Suddenly
he slipped, and in his efforts to keep
from falling down he threw one hand
backward and struck the young lady
squarely and violently on the nose.
The blow stunned her so that she had to
be assisted into an adjacent store, and
an examination by a physician developed
the fact that her nose had been broken.
Both eyes had became blackened from
the injury.
Dr. Brown-Bequard is quoted as say
ing that one has only to harden the neck
and feet and destroy their sensitiveness
to prevent taking cold. This is done
by daily blowing a s ream of cold air,
by means of an elastic bag, upon the
neck, and by immersing the feet in cold
water. The air is at fiist only slightly
cool, but is each day made colder, until
the neck can stand an arctic blast with
impunity. The feet are immersed in
wa er at first at a temperature of about
ninety degrees, and this is gradually re
duced to thirty-eight degrees.
He Pays License ou a Dog.
[From the Detroit Free Pres9.]
“I like to ask you if dere vhas some
license to keep a dog?” inquired Mr.
Bonder, as he carefully tip-toed into
the presence of Sergeant Bendall yes
terday.
“Yes, sir, th re is,”
“Who gets him?’’
“You have to go up stairs to the City
Clerk.”
“Doan’ somebody come to me after
him ?”
“No, sir.”
“Yhell, dot vhas curious. Last week
Shake goes oudt mit Mount Glemens to
see his aunt, and he prings home a dog.
Me keep him tied obb mit der back
yard, und he vhas home only one day
when a man walks into my blace und
say vhas I Carl Dunder? I vhas. All
right. He like to get dot license
money ou Shake's dog. Der regular
brice vhas one dollar, but he make it
seex shillings pecause it vhas hardt
times.”
“And you paid?”
“Yhell, I doan’ like to liaf dot dog
kildt, you see? Eaferypody says he

or lion two miles avhay. Next day a

right. He like to get dot license on
Shake's dog. If I paid lPm to some

He vhas a frendt to Shake, howefer,

“And you paid that?”
“Yhell, Sergeant, dot vhas a good

Physicians Have Found Out
That a contaminating and foreign element in
the bieo.l, developed by indigestion, is the
cause of rheumatism. This settles upon the
sensitive sub-cutaneous covering of the mus
cles and ligaments of the joints, causing con

calcareous, chalky deposit which produces
stiffness and distortion of the joints. No fact

Talking of YYartß.
E. L. Akehurst stepped, into John H.
Sheehan k Co.’s store the* other day and
was waited upon by H. C*. Hart, one of
the clerks. While Air. Akehurst was
picking out change to pny hi3 bill from
a quantity of money that he had scat
tered on the top of a si iow case. Air.
Hart remarked:
T see that you have on e or two large
warts, Brother Akehurst.”
“Yes, I have had them since child
hood.”
“Why don’t you get r'Al of them?”
was the next remark.
“How can that be done?’*■ asked Air.
Akehurst.
“Easily enough,” said Mr. Hart
“Run up the stairs to Joe Alonroe, the
order clerk, in the third story, and he
will take them off.”
“Take them off!” said Air. Akehurst,
in astonishment.
“Cerainly; you go up and I’ll tell
him through the speaking tube that you
are coming,” said Air. Hart.
Mr. Akehurst went up into the third
story. “Good morning, Dr. Alonjoe,”
said he to the druggist. “Mr. Hart
scut me up to have my warts taken
off.”
“All right,” said Dr. Joe. “I’ll do
it.”
He took hold of Air. Akehurst’s hand,
looked at a large sued wart, put his
lingers on it, looked Air. Akehurst in
the face, and, as the latter remarked
afterward, “we talked and laughed and
laughed and talked like a couple of
youngsters for a few minutes.” Then
Dr Alonroe dropped Air. Akeliurst’s
hand and said:
“That wart won’t bother you much
longer.”
No fee was charged, and, after thank
ing Air. Alonroe, Air. Akehurst left the
store, and in the rush of the holiday
trade he forgot the incident that had
amused him for a day. One evening,
within a week, he looked at the baud
where the wart had been located and
found that it had wholly disappea r ed
and the second one had decreased in size
materially. A representative of tho
Observer saw* the mark on the spot where
the wart was located. It looked like a
scar resulting from a light burn.
Air. Alonroe was interviewed, and on
being asked how he operated, he smiled
and said: “There is no operation about
it; 1 felt of the wart and talked it off,
as 1 have done probably 500 times a
year for several years. I claim no pc
culiar gift in this matter, and suppose
that you have the same power that I
have, if veu would only develop it. I
have a great deal of amusement in
studying the face3 of my patients, who
express alternate feelings of doubt,
hope, and surprise; but the warts go
away, all the same. If you have any
on your hands show them to me ami I’ll
lake them off.” —Utica Observer.

sideration of this question that they give to
combatting other -- li Is of practice, it
might be satisfactorily answered.
The fights ot “isms” remind us often of
the quarrels of old Indian tribes, that were
only happy when they were annihilating
each other.’
if Allopathy makes a discovery that
promises good to the race. Homoeopathy de
rides it aud breaks down its influence. It
Homoeopathy makes a discovery that prom
ises to be a boon to the race, Allopathy at
tacks ii.
It is absurd that s hxds should fancy
that all of good is in their methods au 1 none
in any other.
Fortunately for the people, the merit
which these ‘‘isms’’ will not recognize, it
recognized by the public.an 1 this public recog
nition, taking the form of a demand upon
the medical profession, eventually compels
it to recognize it.
Is it possible that the question has been
answered by shrewd business men? A promi
nent man once said to an inquirer, who
asked him how he got rich; “I got rich be
cause I did things while other people were
thinking about doiug them. ’ It seems to us
that the publi ■ have recognized whas this
fatality is, aud how it can be met. while the
medical profession has been wrangling
about it.
By a careful examination of insurance re
ports we find that there has been a sharp* re
form with reference to examinations, (and
that no iiiau can now get any amount of in
surance who has tho least development of
kidney disorder,) because they find that sixty
out of every hundred in this country do,
either directly or indirectly, suffer from kid
ney disease. Hence, no reliable company
will in urea man except after a rigid uri
nary examination.
This reminds us of a little instance which
occurre 1 a short time ago. A fellow editor
was au applh ant fora respectable amount of
insurance. He was rejected on e cam ination,
because, unknown to himself, his kidneys
were diseased. The shrewd agent, however,
did not give up the case. He had an eye to busi
ness and to his commission, and said: “Don’t
you worry; you get a half dozen bottles of
Warner’s safe cure, take it according to
directions aud in about a month come
around, and we will have another examina
tion. I know you will find yourself all right
and will get your policy.”
The editor expressed surprise at the agent’s
faith, but the latter replied: “This point is
a valuable one. Very many insurance agents
all over the country, when they find a cus
tomer rejected for this cause, give similar
advice, and eventually he gets the insur
ance.”
What are we to infer from such circum
stances' Ha\ e shrewd insurance men, as well
as other shrewd business men, found the
secret answer to the inquiry * Is it possible
that our columns have be u proclaiming, iu
the form of advertisements, what has proved
a blessing in disguise to millions, and yet by
many ignored a? an advertisement?
In our files we find thousands of strong
testimonials for Warner’s safe cure, no two
alike, which could not exist except upon a
basis of truth: indeed, they are published
under a guarantee of $5,000 to auy one who
will disprove their correctness, and this offer
has beeu standing, we are told, for more
than four years,
Undoubtedly this article, which is simply
dealing out justice, will be considered as an
advertisement aud be rejected by many as
such.
YYa have not space nor time to discuss the
proposition that a poor thing could uot suc
ceed to the extent that this great remedy has
succeeded,could uot become so popular with
out merit even if pushed by a Vanderbilt or
au Aster.
Hence wo take the liberty of telling our
friends that it is a duty that they owe to
themselves to investigate the matter and re
flect carefully, for the statements published
are subject to the refutation of the entire
world. None have refuted them; on the con
trary hundreds of thousands have believed
them and proved them true, and in believing
have found the highest measure of satisfac
tion, that which money cannot buy, and
money cannot take away.

Profitable Mendicancy.
A Paris letter says: There is an old
story told of a Parisian blind beggar
who was stationed every day on one
of the bridges, and to whom a passing
Samaritan once gave a gold loais instead
of a franc. Having discovered his mis
take the almsgiver went back to the
beggar, but found that he had left his
post. After having made inquiries in
the neighbo hood, the person obtained
the mendicant’s address, whither he re
paired in the evening, 110 found tho
blind man installed in comfortable villa,
the door of which was opened by a tidy
servant, who said that her master was
at dinner and could not be disturbed.
The stranger, however, made known
his errand, and the beggar sent down a
message by his maid, saying that it was
quite possible that he had taken a louis
for a franc, but that he had not yet made
up his accounts for the day. Finally the
almsgiver was told to meet the blind
man on the bridge next day, and tho
ciror. if any, would be rectified. Only
yesterday a true narrative of the same
sort, but with it slight variation, was
told by a M. Thivet before the tribunal
of correctional police, where a man
named Samuel was being tried for beg
ging. Samuel is about 04 years old,
and was in the habit of begging from
house to house. When arrested he was
fouud living in a comforable apartment
in the Hue Commines, for which he paid
£4O a year as rent. An account book
was also found in his room, in which he
had entered his takings. These, in
some cases, amounted to 20f. or 15s. in
one day. M. Thivet, the prosecutor,
said that in December last Samuel went
to his house and represented himself as
a commercial traveller temporarily out
of employment, having a wife and fam
ily in destitution, be gave him two
francs, but seeing him next day going
into another house, he watched him and
found him begging. He then had him
arrested as a professional mendicant,
w hich was proved by the account book
found in his rooms. The tribunal order
ed Samuel to be sent to jail for two
months.
A Lost Industry.
Jay Gould, the railroad magnate, takes
pleasure in letting the world know that
twenty-five years ago he earned money
by honest industry, making noon marks
for farmers. Work of that kind done
only a quarter of a century ago indicates
what a short way in time we are removed
from the use of crude, ancient devices.
It is only within half a century that the
admirable mechanical methods of Ameri
can clock-makers have brought the price
of time pieces so low that it would not
pay to go round offering to make noon
marks. The noon mark was an humble
brother of the sun dial, which was a
crude method of indicating time com
pared to the cheapest modern time piece;
yet the dial was considered a great in
vention in its day, and the Babylonians
w'ere honored for originating such a boon
to mankind. The sun dial might have
still remained the leading rural time in
dicator but for the persistence of Con
necticut clock-makers in underselling the
world. When they succeeded, by the in
terchangeable stamping process of manu
facture, in finishing serviceable clock
works for twenty-five cents each, the oc
cupation that gave .Tay Gould his finan
cial start xvas gone forever.
