Watch a Mrd Playing- Billiards, and Yost " Will Learn Something- About Hit Dlspo f sitlon Uow to Tell the "Sharp" Si if in Which rtutoken the Mean Man. t During these days of graphology, physi ognomy nnd bootology if I may coin a word for the science of character studying from one's old Jioots it will not be sur prising to lenrn that a man's many weak Besses and good or bad qualities invaria bly manifest themselves when "cannon ing" or "hazarding" with the fascinating Ivories. Iet me see a man play a hundred up, and I will tell you with unerring ac curacy more about his everyday character thnn the ordinary observer would know after years of close intercourse. A well known authority, in a treatise on billiards, by way of warning to the tyro, says, "Beware of the man who car ries the chalk in bis trousers pocket and calls the marker John, for verily be is a sharp." With all due deference to the writ er of the advice, I must say that my own experience is in direct antipodes to his aphorism. The sharp of today is not so ensily spotted. You see that man playing over at the far table, possessed of a child like and land mnnnerf Well, that is the modern billiard sharp. With patent leath- "'" lnnta nnd riTOanrl wtfn fniiltlnna 4-n4 ( oe lies in wait for the unsuspicious and confiding learner. To all appearances he is a perfect stranger to the marker, and it would not do to hint that the latter is subsidized and "goes whacks" in the spoil. Our gentleman sharp, you will notice, in quires innocently the way to turn the marking board, makes a tremendous num ber of scientific misses, does not carry the chalk in his pocket, makes shots worthy of Roberts himself and then apologizes for them to his unsuspecting opponent as ;" beastly flukes. " He is most profuse with "I beg your pardon, sir," when he "unin tentionally" pots his antagonist's white and assures him, with every expression of sincerity, that "he played for a screw can non." J At the commencement of the game he in sinuatingly suggests that the small sum of 2s. (id. Bhall be a stake on the game, not for the sake of having a bet, but just to ; have a little "interest" in the game, while ;bisreal reason is to have both principal and interest in his pocket. He never wins ; by too many, and then he has been "ex ceedingly lucky to win," "the balls ran ; for him," but he will give his opponent " "i "double or quits" on the next game if he I cares to huve his revenge. He constantly ' ejaculates "Hard liues. sir," "You are having all the bad luck," and so the sharp I plucks his pigeon. C From my experience I should say that no ufganioof skill i:i the world brings out a man's meanness like billiards. There is a I meun man playing. Watch him prepare for the combat. Probably he has argued I his friend into giving him half the game, for he never plays with a stranger he jj might get taken in, he says. See him care i fully chalk his cue, and with what care and anxiety he gives the preliminary miss I in balk, his face expressive of his mental agony for fear the ball should stop out of J balk. Watch him during the progress of the game, how he walks round the table J and views the position of the balls when J it is his stroke from every part of the ta- ble, lest he should by an oversight give uih upponeuc nn auvantage. tiu neslta tion over each shot is prolonged, and when he does make up his mind to strike his nervous prostration Is terrible as the balls go spinning round the table, and he knocks one of the shades off as he flourishes bis cue nbout in his endeavor to influence the course of the balls. Great 1b bis disap pointment when he falls to score. Listen to his grumbles deep and loud when his ad versary brings off "a fluke." Let us leave him, for it is dreadfully painful to play with him, and to see him grudgingly part with n shilling, if he be the loser, is like Having a tooth drawn. "when found" in a billinrd room, "make a note of" and J avoid. The Jolly, good natured man is the I life and sonl of the room. He doesn't care jj a straw whether he wins or loses. He wants a game and means to enjoy it. "Which ball do I prefers"' he says. "I don't care. They are both rouud." Off he goes, forgets to chalk his cue and then laughs heartily when he gives a miss, rare ly asks for points, and if you beat him will ask you to have a cigar, tips the mark er and laughs loud and lonar when von I make some extraordinary fluke. You play carelessly with the generous man, and as i a consequence often get beaten, but you take your defeat kindly enough from a mnu ii&u mm. uU H.uiiiuiur nuu iu uieuu iuau ab uu- llardH are very much akin, and you take a keen delight, in which the spectators par t ticipate, in giving him a sound beating.

"There is not a straight cue in the room," the cush ions are too slow or too fast, bad light, the gns flickers, the room is drafty.

General J. S. Coxcy, the political pil grim who has filled such a large place in the public eyeduring the post two months, has with him in Washington a very inter esting family to sustain and encourage him by their presence and sympathy not that the general is particularly in need of MRS. COXET AND LEGAL TENDER. tympathy and encouragement, for he is pre-eminently a self reliant man and ac cepts the homage and support of those liuuUt hllil ua u Xiiullcr of cuui'au. Mrs. Coxey says that when her husband first told her of his purpose to march to Washington she laughed at the idea, but when sho saw that howas really in ear nost she acquiesced in tho plan, nnd now, like tho dutiful wifo that sho is, she ex presses enthustiastio confidence in his schemo for good roads and lots of monoy. The influence of Coxoy's predominating personality is also shown in the readiness with which his son Jesso and his daugh ter Caroline have followed his varying fortunes over the rough roads leading to the national capital. Miss Caroline Coxey, who is a rather bashful maiden of 18, with blond hair, bluo eyes and rosy cheeks, is a daughter of Gcnoral Coxey by his first wife, now di vorced. Although the girl lives with her mother at Massillon.the general had no dif ficulty in persuading her to go to Wash ington nnd head tho march of the Falstaf flan forces into tho capital. Now the Irate Mrs. Coxey No. 1 is suing her former hus band for tho abduction of her daughtor. Meanwhile the daughter remains with the CAROLINE AND JESSIE COXET. family in Washington and receives many tender missives from youthful admirers in her old Ohio homo. Jesso Coxey, tho son, is a rather harum scarum youth whose lovo of adventure not long ago led him to take a sea voyage of nine months' duration, during which he visited South Africa, Ceylon and the West Indies. He also showed the independence of his character by aiding and abetting the defection of tho "great unknown" during t ho inarch over the Maryland moun tains, but in due tlnio he repented of his folly and returned, like the prodigal son, to his forgiving parents nnd the family dinner table at the National hotel. Mrs. Coxey is a tall brunette, quiet and sensible), who is more interested in house wifely arts than in tho mysteries of polit ical economy. Just now sho is engrossed In the caro of a pudgy baby boy about 8 months old who rejoices in the name of Legal Tender. This youth has already shown decided oratorical abilities and promises to tnko a vociferous part In the political discussions of the future. TO STOP HAZING. Students of Northwestern University Mast Pledge Themselves to That Effect. Dr. Henry Wado Rogers, president of tho Northwestern university at Kvanston In Chicago, has determined that at least one American university shall be free from tho ancient abuse of hazing, even If . he has to suspend or expel half the stu dents in the institution. Ho nnd his associates in the faculty hold the odd Idea that it Is not one of the chief purposes of a university to fur nish fun for some of its students at the expense of broken bones or loss of life to others, and here after any student In Northwestern who originates, aids or abets any kind of hazing whatever will bo packed off home, PRESIDENT ROGERS, and there will be no excuse or palliation for the offense. The determination to stop hazing la no new one on tho part of Dr. Rogers. Three years ago ho asked the students to abolish I the practice, and they did so. But a few weeks ago tho freshmen assembled on the steps of one of thp university buildings to . have a class picture taken. Some of them j carried canes, and the class banner was prominent. The sight of these contraband articles aroused the long dormant ire of the sophomores, and a regular old fash ioned cano rush and scrimmage occurred. I Tho rush was unpremeditated, and no one was hurt, but the rules of the univer- lity had been violated, and Dr. Rogers 1 read tho riot act The result was that the students passed resolutions of apology and gave their individual pledges of honor to abstain from all forms of hazing In the fu ture, In consideration of which they were let off with a reprimand from tho faculty. 1 All students at tho university will be re- , quired hereafter to give a similar pledge, and In case of its Infraction they need hope for no mercy.

"I cant helD how much vpt Iota mn Van; I can't marry yer. and you'd Just as well look at matters in a reasonable way." "But WhV.

I never rnnlrl an as to lovin or thinkin more of some body else that's somethin 1 don't think consarns ye in the least." "Oh, come now, Mandy, don't put me ou in mis nere way. ir yer a friend to me it won't take yer long to love me. I've been mighty nigh crazy fer ye fer the last three year. I've got so I can't work fer thinkin of yer in the day ner Bieep rer tiiinmn or yer in the night There's lots o' other girls in Chincapin nuuer, out yer lanes tne shine out of all of 'em. They're no more like yer than a dishratr's like a silk hanrllrarxhnr r.. my eye yer as far above 'em as Pilot Knob's above Cowskin Flat. I'd give my mansion in the New Jerusalem fer gesi one kiss o' them purty little red lips o' yer's." So 6aying, Van tried to draw Mandy toward himself, but Mandy with flashing eyes arose to her feet, and as she did so gave him a smart slap in uie i ace anu said: "Van Jones, yer a fooll Ye take yer self right off from here or I'll rail no I've been a-tryin to reason with yer as a inena, Dut l see yer ain't got no sense. Thar's the door, and don't yer never come oack nere again. "But, Mandy" "Don't Mandy me pal" Van did not stem to meet "m " hnt took np his hat and, with a scowl on bis race ana an oath in his heart, left the house. He was an ill visaged fellow. His features wore the nnniistukiibla marks of cruelly, cunning and sensual- r. rY- ... iiy. ens race was uaru naturally, but it was colored a deeper dye by the smoke of his forge, for Van was the black- smitn or unmcapin Hollow. His burly black head was set upon a thick neck and thus fastened to a herculean trunk. He had all the characteristics of a cruel and ferocious being. He wended his way slowly up the Hollow, muttering curses as he went. "1 know who she's Btnck on; its that darn Sam Gray, but by thunder I'll get even with 'em." he hissed Iwtinwn hii teeth. "She wouldn't own to to it, but i ve had my eye on him, confound him." It was a lovely Sunday evening in the month of September, in that part of Ar kansas called the Boston mountains. The sides of the mountains were covered with luxuriant chincapins, scrubby oaks and trailing, heavy laden muscadines. The scenery in Chincapin Hollow was delightful to one in a frame of mind to enjoy it. but Van Jones Raw nnnn nf ita beauties, in fact it is doubtful if he ever was conscious of them. If he took any further notice of them at all it was as rock, water and brush. He soon reached his shop, which stood some distance up tho hollow. It was an old log building, whose caving roof bore a striking resemblance to a sway back horse. The tottering chimney vis ible above the gable had the rakish air of a battered silk tile on a drunken sailor. The door, hung on a single hinge, and being partly open, exposed the interior of the building to view. The tools wero lying promiscuously around, and it was evident that Van was not a neat shopkeeper. He entered the bnilding, still bitterly cursing his luck and swearing vengeance against his rival. "I'll get even with him if it takes fifty years," he snarled. "He shan't marry Mandy Piggin because he's got a good farm and a horse or two more'n I've got. I'll get even with him if I've got to burn his barn or pizen his well. I'll let him know that the man he'sbuckin agin in this business ain't no slouch," and a diabolical scowl settled over his features as he ceased muttering and drew from his pocket a large clasp knife, which he proceeded to sharpen upon a grindstone. While Van was thus occupied the sun was slowly sinking. Long shadows fell across the Hollow. Gradually the dis tant mountain tops were wrapped in roseate mists, and over the valleys float ed purple vapors. The shadows begin to deepen in the Hollow, and finally the last ray of light vanishes from the moun tain's peak. First one bright star and then another rises in the east, peering down into the shadows below. Slowly the heavens become decked with the myriads of bright scintillating gems of night It is a calm, delightful night in early autumn; the pure mountain air, like an ethereal elixir, exhilarates and cheers both man and beast. ' In the starlit night a man on horse back is seen slowly riding toward Jef ferson Piggin's house. He seems to be in no hurry, for he allows the splendid mare he is riding to choose ber own gait He rides up to the front of the picket fence surrounding the house, throws the bridle over one of the pickets, and knocking gently at the door is met by the blushing Mandy and bashfully Invited in. "Howdy do, Miss Mandy? How air ye this evenin?" "Purty well, I thank ye, Mri Gray. How air ye and how air yer folks?" "I'm purty well, I thank ye, and the folks air abont as common. Been enjy ing yerself today, Miss Mandy'i" "No, I haven't, Mr. Gray. It's been an uncommon dull day to me. Vou been injying yerself today, Mr. Gray?" "No, 1 can't say that 1 hev, Miss Mandy. 1 was down at a shootin match at Cowskin Flat, but there wut no good shootin done, and I came home. But looks like a purty gal like yon shouldn't feel lonesome hey, Mis Mandyr "Why not, Mr. GrayJ Don't yer think gals git lonesome sometimes?" "Well, I thought, Miss Mandy, eJ have plenty cnmp'ny, speshly on Sou day." "Oh. yes, I've had cump'ny, but It warn"t bit agreeable. I'd rather be alone at eny time than to her it." "If it's a fair question, who's been yer cnmp'ny today, Miss Mandyi" "Nobody in pertie'ler at least that's whut I think of Van Jones." "Why, seems to me. Miss Mandy, that Van ought to be purty good company; he's right smart feller, I alius thought" "Well, I don't like him, Mr. Gray, and hope he'll never call sg'in." "Why, Miss Mandy, did yon and him r any trouble?" "A little, not much." "Would ye" mind tellin me what it was about, Miss Mandyr and Sam bash fully hitched his chair a few inches nearer the blushing Mandy. "I'd rather not, Sam," she replied, hanging her head in modesty at calling him for the first time by his given name. "Of course, Mandy, if it's a secret 1 don't want to hear it; it's none of my bizness no how, 1 reckon, is it, Mandy?" and Sam's arm began a cautious jour ney around Miss Mandy's apron strings. Mandy (unconsciously, no doubt) help ed Sam's arm along a little by leaning toward him, as she answered: "Well, Sam, 1 guess you won't tell anybody if I tell you. Van Jones's ben tryin bis best to get me to have him, and 1 jest p'intedly told him heconldn't He then wanted to know if I thought more of some one else, and I told him it didn't consarn him. I had ter threaten to call pa before he'd leave. He were powerfully disap'inted when I give him' no for an answer. I've alius thought purty well of Van as a friend, but I'm afraid if his dander's np he'll do some thin mean." "And what did you refuse Van fer, Mandyr" said Sam as he gave the girl a sly squeeze. "How kin yer ask, Sam? Didn't yer know kase vrhy Kin a woman marry a man she don't luv?" "Then yer didn't luv Van, Mandy, is that a fao', an couldn't yer if he'd mar ried yer?" "No, Sam, I never could," and Mandy looked at the floor as she spoke. "Mandy, if yer don't and can't luv Van, and yer ain't luvin anybody else, how.ei1 an er humph! would yer like ter" "Like ter what?' softly asked Mandy. "As I wus goin on ter say, Mandy," and he took one of her hands in his as he continued, "as I wus goin on ter say if yer don't luv Van, and yer have told him to go, how'd it be if er 1 er wus ter ax" Here Sam stopped stock still, as if he was unable to proceed any far ther. uuuuy bcui&Cu ciiccuriiIiilj on hiui and smiling one of her sweetest smiles, said: "What wus yer goin ter say, Sam? 5Ter needn't ter be a bit uneasy, Sam, fer I won't say a word about it ter any body, if it's a secret." "Well, as 1 WUS a-snvin. Mandv if yer don't like any other feller better than yer do me would er er yer mind o' havin mo?' and Sam broke down com pletely. Mandv turned as red as a hnllvhwV and it seemed to Sam that tlm her shoulder increased as it rested heavi ly against him. Whether he feared that he could not thus support hor weight or that she would fall, lm sud denly clasped her in his arms. She threw her arms around his neck and sweetly whispered in his ear, "I luv yer. n . .... .. cam, ana 1 11 nave yer.

"There now," he growled to himself. Sam Gray, I know that'll almost kill yer when ye see it 1 wish to God it would," and the brnte slunk off in the darkness to his den. When Sam Gray on the following morning discovered the disfigurement of his best horse by the loss of both her ears he was the maddest man in "seven states." Vet he held his tongue. Sam was not a man to make threats. He was reticent fellow and kept his troublos to himself. But he was mad, and in his heart he swore to be revenged on the one who had perpetrated the outrage. The urst person whom he suspected was Van Jones. He knew his rival's dastardly nature full well. I He took out his claspknife and care-1 fully examined its edge. It seemed to be satisfactory.

"I didn't come tor argy with yer, Van. Git down on yer knees." and as he spoke Sam threw the cold muzzle of his pistol in Van's face.

Like every other sense, that of sight improves by use nnder healthy condi tions, and therefore the people who have the greatest exercise of their vision in the open air nnder the light of the snn have the best eyesight. Generally speak ing, savage tribes possess the keenest eye sight, acquired through hunting. Natives of the Solomon islands are very quick at perceiving distant objects, such as ships at sea, and will pick out birds concealed in dense foliage some 60 or 70 feet high. Shepherds and sailors are blessed with good sight. Eskimos will detect a white foi in the snow a great distance away, while the Arabs of the deserts of Arabia have such extreme powers of vision that on the vast plains of the desert they will pick out objects Invisible to the ordinary eye, at ranges from one to ten miles distant Among civilized peoples the Norwegians have better eyesight than most if not all others, as they more generally fulfill the necessary conditions.
