The Face Is an Indexi
The face is an index tu the state of one's physical well being. Symptoms of disease can lie detected from it al most before llie patient is aware tha there is anything the matter. For in stance, excessive pallor indicates poor circulation and possible heart trouble Incomplete exposure of the eyeballs, rendering the whites of the eyes visible during sleep, is a symptom of all acute and chronic diseases of a seven, type. Twitching of the muscles is a herald of nervous exhaustion. Widen ing of the orifices of the nose with movements of the nostrils to and fro points to embarrassed breathing t'rou disease of the hum's or channels lead inic thereto. (Yiniraction of the brows indicates pain in the head. Sharpness in the nostrils is a symptom of pain in the chest. Raniring under the eyes when not a laeial characteristic, points to kidney trouble. Twitching of the eyelids associated with oscillation of the eyeballs or squinting, heralds the visit of convulsions.—American Queen
A Kipling' I.anient.
In Laurence Ilutton's "Talks In a Library" lie tells as follows of meeting ltudyard Kipling at a luncheon given to the iatter by Kichanl Watson Gilder. "Another engagement made me late, and I entered the room as the party was breaking up. I was introduced to Mr. Kipling, with whom I exchanged the traditional few formal words, and we drifted apart, but a moment or two afterward he placed himself on the arm of a chair in which I was sitting and said: 'I didn't real ize. Ilutton, wlie-n I met you a moment ago who you were. Dear old Wolcott Balestier, your friend and mine, tried so hard and so many times to brin us together in Ixnidou and elsewhere, and now he is gone, and I can't under stand it all. lie died so suddenly and so far away we had so much to say to each other, and now I have gjt to wait so long before I can say it.'
An An*i«Mit Tune.
"Wo Won't (Jo Home Till Morning' is not a modern song: at least the air is not modern, for it dates back to the times of the first Duke of Marlborough. It is the old French air of "Malbrouk s'en va-t-en guerre Dieu sait quant reviendrn" ("Malbrouk has gone to the war: the Lord knows when lie will come home a#ain"i. The second verse hinted that the Duke of Marlborough would

a long time away.
"11 reviendra-z-a la Paques, on a la Trinite" ("He will return at Easter or Trinity Sunday"). In south Yorkshire, in England, that air exists as a children's song:
Mollis Brooks, she went to be shaved Molllo Brook?, she went to be shaved Moliie Brooks, she went to be shaved and the barter cut her chin. "Mollie Brooks" is a corruption of Marlborough.
Both Saw the Monkey.
"I had a most terrible experience today." declared the pretty girl to her boarding house companions. "I was walking along the street, when suddenly I heard a most peculiar noise. I looked up, and there on a stoop stood a most hideous monkey, leering at me. It startled me, and I stepied back quickly, putting my hand to my eyes. Then the inan who was coming just behind 1110 remarked: "'You're all right, little girl. I see it, too, and I've been on the water cart for weeks.' Now, what do you suppose he meant?"
The men loarders who were at the table answered not. but the wife of one of them explained to the girl later on.—New York Tribune.
A Remarkable Comedy.
The most remarkably comedy ever written is "The Visionaries," by Desmarets, the protege of Richelieu. Every character in the play has a hallucination of one kind or another. One is a coward who thinks he has conquered the world, another a poet who conceives himself better than Homer, another a lover who becomes enamored of every heroine he reads of in a romance, another a beggar who thinks himself richer than Croesus.
Woinen'N Letters.
"As far as I have had the opportunity of judging, it appears to me that the usual style of letter writing among women is faultless except in throe particulars—a general deficiency of subject. a total inattention to stops and a very frequent ignorance of grammar." Such is the brief summing up of woiyan as a correspondent, given some hundred years ago by Ilenry Tihiey.
I.cK'loal.
"YMI'VO been kissing Margie Hunter." "Oh. Nellie, what a story!" "Yes, you have. Robbie Dickerson. You don't like peppermint, and she always gets peppermint chewing gum. Oh, I can put two and free togevver." —Life.
Quite Apparent.
She—You know, judge, our characters are different, and I don't want to| be in his way— He—Yes, your honor, she is peculiar, and I don't want to interfere— J'Kigf—I understand. You ask for a divorce out of pure love.— Meggendorfer Blatter.
Tidy.
"Is Spooney's wife a good housekeeper?" "Well, I should say so. Why. he has to keep a private detective to watch his clothes so he can tell where to find them. She's so tidy."—Liverpool Mercury.
Wothinj? heft hut the Bark. "He belongs to one of our oldest families, but he is a consumptive. He coughs dreadfully." "Yes. he says all lie ever got from the family tree was the bark.",

"CUTTING OV
How Telephone Line*\ From One Switchboard "Cutting over" is ti phrase applied to moving a telephone central othc_ :•. switchboard to another. S reflect that many of the of the type used in the Bel of large cities carry will see what a task transfe a mass of wires is. Indeed, ti. few mechanical operations which impress one with a sense of absolu,. perfect forethought and organization.
When an exchange is to be "cut over." all the outside lines coming into it. both overhead and underground, are tapped and practically connected with the new board while the old one is still in use. That is to say, they are brought into the main distributing frame, which is the big rack through which the outside lines are separated and linked to the proper inside lines which run directly into the switchboard and terminate in the "jacks," by means of which the operator is enabled to put any two subscribers into communication.
The opportunities for confusion and mishaps in this work are evident, and it speaks much for the painstaking care with which it is done that a subscriber is practically never "lost." as the telephone engineer calls it, if one of the lines is temporarily misconneeted. To secure such perfection innumerable tests are necessary not only of the outside lines, but of every switchboard line, and these are conducted over a long period so as in no way to disturb the sen-ice of the subscriber.
The operators are thoroughly drilled in the use of the new board, and when it comes to tlie actual performance of "cutting over," which generally takes place some hour in the night when business is always light, both boards have a full force to work them. The final step is to cut the old connections and complete the new ones at the same instant. This is usually done by pulling out from the board to be abandoned the heat coils which are put into every circuit in the distributing frame as a protection to the apparatus against an overload of electricity from lightning or from the crossing of wires, or what not, and simultaneously pushing coils into the mechanism that replaces it. So rapidly can skilled men perform the operation that one of them can put 000 or 700 coils in a place in thirty seconds, and the whole process of "cutting over" in a large office occupies not more than two minutes, lliere is no interruption of service, however, for one group of wires is dealt with at a time, so that no circuit is out of commission more than half a minute at the lougest.
IJoen Family "Count?*'
"I go a great deal 011 family," remarked the Ward McAllister of the community. "I tell you there's lots in blood: family counts."
Ah, does it? Abraham Lincoln's father was so poor that the negroes called him po' white trash, and Abe himself was born in a log hut with cracks in the walls so wide that you could throw a dog through them, and his mother's name was Nancy Ilanks.
Tlie father of John Adams ran a corner grocery. John Quincy Adams, however. had "family" back of him, for his father, John. had been president of the United States.
James Iv. Polk grubbed roots out of a new farm in North Carolina until he got too strong to work for his father then he managed to secure a job in a country store.
Andrew Johnson married "family." for his wife knew enough to teach him how to rt.
John Keats was the son of a hostler and was born in a livery stable. Rare Ben Jonson laid brick while he was learning Latin.
Napoleon Bonaparte once remarked, "I am my own ancestors." Did you ever happen to hear who was the father of Homer or of Shakespeare or of Gladstone or of Socrates or of Walt Whitman?—Portland Oregonian.
Stranjte Siamese Custom They have a novel method in Siam of getting rid of the bodies of paupers and criminals. In one of the temples is kept a flock of a hundred vultures, and the bodies, instead of being buried or burned, are given to them as food. As soon as they catch sight of a body the rapacious creatures gather around it, and it only takes them a minute or two to pick all the flesh ofE it.
A repugnant sight it is, but. according to Siamese physicians, it is an excellent sanitary measure. The soil of Siam, they point out, is generally moist, and hence it is much better that bodies should be treated in this way than replaced in the ground, for, if buried, they would surely prove more or less of a menace to the public health.
After the vultures have finished their feast the skeletons are placed in wooden boxes and burned.
Two Curious Knives.
When Sheffield first became famous for its cutlery a peculiarly shaped knife, designed for a variety of uses, was made with great care and sent to the agent of the Cutler's company in London. On one of the blades was engraved the following challenge:
London, for thy life, Show me such another knife.
The London hitlers, to show that they were equal to their Sheffield brothers, made a knife with a single well tempered blade, the blade having a cavity containing a rye straw twol and a half inches in lengtli. wholly sur-1 rounded by the steel yet. notwithstanding the fact that the blade was well) tempered, the straw was not burned, singed or charred in the least! It is needless to add that the Sheffield cutlers acknowledged themselves outdone in ingenuity.
