Prove Tn.arjv
It it a, curious fact that one of the
only thlrtirs which eveu au expert
graphologist does toot guarantee to U
wer In hautlwrltinir Is the sei of the
writer. We are accustomed ti think
that the feminine or masculine tem
perament will readily betray Itself In
the written word, but In the majority
f cases such la not the ease.
Writing bold, black ami Arm, most
nasculine spidering In every way. will
frequently be found to emanste frou
tbe pen of a woman, while delicate
tracery, with the regularity snftrestlve
of precision and method or the dash
and spontaneity which bulk-ate a live
If fancy almost unmistakably femi
tine; one says ou examination Is disoov
red to belong to a writer of the ohv
alte aex.
Aa Interesting little eiperluieut prov
ing this theory can be made iu this
way; Take twelve or twenty envel
pea written In chlrographle you aw
tut of and number each scrap clear
ry. Pass them around and see how
many of your friends will correctly
. guea the ser. of the different writers,
which may be written down and num
bered like the envelopes. It will sel
dom prove that more than oue-thlrd of
the guesses at most are correct.-Ei

CAPTAIN KIDD,'
f
Hi-
Ta Carr mm te Eadtac of tkf
Faatoaa Pirate.
Captain Kidd,. the famous pirate,
started hli career with the Intention of
oppressing piracy. In February, 1607.
he left tbe Hudson In the Adventure
Galley with a crew of 130 men with
this Intention. This expedition had beer
quipped chiefly at the expense of the
"Whig ministers, and its commander
earrled wlh him, "besides the ordinary
letters of marque, a commission under
the great seal empowering hlni to seize
pirates and to take them to some place
where they might be dealt with ac
cording to law."
The king's rfplit to the goods found
In possession of these malefactors was
granted by letter patent to the sup
porters; of the expedition, his majesty
securing only oue-tentb of the spoil.
, Kidd, however, soon finding that little
was to be gained by the adventure,
threw off all disguise and hoisted the
Jolly Roger. ' (
His rapacity and cruelty were on
. bounded, and In less than two years he
amassed the sum of 200,000. With
this be thought to make bis peace with
the authorities and end his days 10 lux
ury, but be was arrested at New York
and brought to England, where be was
tried and hanged at Execution dock In
1701. London Saturday Review.
; Prlaae JfapoWoa.
Prince Napoleon in 1879 was some
thing of a prophet. When he beard of
tbr emperor's declaration of war b
burried to St. Cloud and bad a stormy
tsterrlew with the emperor. He didn't
lcsltate to say, "It Is the emperor wbo
las brought this upon us," and the em
JHtor, while offended at bis frankness,
Admitted that 'your presentiments per
kaps correspond with mine." Then the
trhteo fired bis last shot snd showed
that, .though he might go astray in
many things, be knew of the weakness
of France and the strength of Ger
many. He tamed on his heel and, with
that bitterness which he didn't hesitate
to exhibit when occasion required, said:
"So be It; su be it! Let us, however,
make haste to pack our possessions, for
we are already beaten." And so the
result proved.
The Saltteat of thr Salt 9a.
Some idea of the saltness of tbe wa
ters of the Derfd sea may be gained
from the comparison made below. Tbe
Dead sea Is situated In Palestine, 20
miles east of Jerusalem. It Is 35 miles
long and from 10 to 15 miles wide, with
ah average depth of 20 fathoms (120
feet;.. Common ocean water contains
but 30 parts of salt to the 1,000. Those
of the Dead sou contain 250 parts to the
1,000. which makes the briny solution
exactly one-fourth salt.
The Callliar Bran.
The famous t'alabar bean is said to
be worse than strychnine. The natives
use it for an ordeal. If a person Is ac
cused ofa crime he is made to eat one,
being adjudged to be guilty in case of
death, which Is almost Inevitable. An
other seed employed for a like purpose
Is that of Oie ordeal tree of Madagas
car, said to be the most deadly of vege
table products. Oue of . these seeds
about the size of an almond will kill
twenty men.
Cnrly Hair.
CSrly hair is a constitutional, hered
itary phenomenon. The eurly hair curls
because it Is flat. Straight hair Is cylin
drical. Being flut, the hair has a nat
ural tendency to assume a spiral shape,
fulling has no effect, as the cause of
the flatness lies in the shape of the fol
licle. Hair issuiug from a slanting,
erooked follicle Is bound to be flattened
and twisted.
