WOT C 1.1' Alt UIVI H. War l!(')iirinirnt ICrffii' prml .TI0111')- at Cclllo. Washington, July 31. -The War De :nrtineiit, notwithstanding the fact that there is a considerable sum in the lreainy allotted for the improvement of the Co. timb a River between The Dalles and t;ilo, holds that no mcney iiiall be spent until the spt cial Engineer Board hus ieported and Congress lint app cod tlie new project. A tew days' Ago Senator Mitchell teferred to the Jep.ntmei.t h letter from one of his coiisti'iien.s, asking that he use his influence to have the department expend a part i the avaiiab'e funds for blasting o;it the rocks that ar.e in the channel at Three Mile Rapids, with a view to in siuiiid a safe chatne! up to the etui of the proposed portage roaJ to be con structed by the State. The War Department has never b en idvised of tlie details of the continuous ?ana project that is favored by the 'froard, and knows nothing of the pro posed teminals. It is not desired 10 expend any part of the funds in clearing ip the cliHnnel at a point where that vhannel is not to be utilized, under the aew project. This would be regarded as money wasted, so tar as the permanent improvement is concerned. If it shall "ie found, when the new project is Adopted, that by blasting cut the rocks t Three-Mile Rapids, the Government jrould be undertaking work that must necessarily be done later on, the accessary expenditure may theu b) tade, but not before.

That Member Ia Frequently Far More Blojoent Than tlie Tongue. There is a wealth of meaning in the simple pressure of the hand. -Not in frequently a woman's nature and breeding may be distinguished by the manner in which she shakes a friend's hand. It may be due to the fact that there are more nerves between the brain and the hand than between any other two portions of the body, but true it is that the hand :'s often more eloquent than the tongue, a Washing ton orator is quoted as saying, and when a woman once appreciates the importance of this she wilt immediate ly btgin to study the expression of the hand. One human touch of sym pathy or grasp of the hand can and frequently does mean more than a volume of words, ati to possess this quality, particularly in j. n,aD. is no lir'n charm and a tl.;ng that lies with in the reach of every woman. Should she not have it naturally she should speedily cultivate exprefction of the hand. Of course there are certain hall marks of a lefined hand, beauty and texture of shin, whiteness of nails all essen tial, but not half so important as ex pression. Craeeful gesture and a touch tf quick sympathy, thee nvr lose their charm or power. ODD JAPANESE TIMEPIECE. Mad to H.p resent a Noonday Loud ape with Kvrj Detull In I'erfeotioii. "When in Japan not very long since, 1 jnw a remarkable a time piece as I supjose the world con tains," said Mr. William T. Crews, ol Newark. N'. J., reports tlie Washing ton Tost. "It was ineloaed in a frame about three feet wide and five feet long, re presenting a noonday landscape of rare beauty. In the foreground ap pear plum and cherry trees and gor gerous plantain full bloom; in the rear there is a sloping hill,- from which a cascade seems to How, the crystal im itution being of wonderful likeness. A thread-like brook meanders from this point, encircling rocks and islands, and finally disappearing in a piece of woodland. In a miniature sky a gulden sun. turning in a silver wire, strikes th hour on silter gongs as it passes. "Each hour Is marked in the frame by a creeping tortoise, which tak. the place of a hand. A bird of exqui site plumage warbles at the close of each hour, and as the song ceases a mouse sallies forth from a neighbor ing grotto, and scampering over the hill to the garden is soon lost to view." A Plekled Traveler. A traveler in Tartary tells the fol lowing story of a corpulent Greek servant who accompanied him: "At the end of the third day the well seasoned kavass in -attendance, whose whole life had leen passed in the saddle, came with a smile to report that Gurgis waa unable to proceed from abrilon, as the doctors called it, of the epidermis. 'He can't be left behind, sir, in the desert,' addd tlie old beirakdar, 'so, with your leave, we will give him the Tartar bath.' A tub of the strongest brine was ac cordingly prepared, in which the tin fortunate Gurgis waj forthwith im mersed, uttering the most appalling howls at the first plunge, but subsid ing shortly afterward and eventually, after half an hour's tanning coming nut so effectively case-hardened that he rode a further thousand miles to the Black sea in the course of the next week without shewing a symp tom of distress.- CRIMINALS OF TITLE. Princes and Princesses Are Punished for Their Crimes. Some Reeont Intnee of Depravity Ajaong the lierinnii Nobility and the Pnallila lmpoitd Upon I'll m Whatever a mnn' rank, he cannot escape the )ena!tii's of the law if he breaks it. Abrcad, though a man of title can no longer coimnit. crime with im pua-ii v, yet punishment, is too of ten sl'ocknuriy inadequate. Tlie case of l'niwe. Prosper von Arenberg-i an ex ample of how far favoritism of thit kind can go, sayt the Chicago Trib une. The prince wss in command of a German southwest African district, and had at' his confidential servant a half-breed named Keen. The men cliaiwed to arouse the prince's dis pleasure, &o his master made him drunk on brandy; and then, manocling him, drew him up by a cord to the ceiling- and practiced upon him tortures too dreadful to mention. At last he cut the moaning -victim down, and, turning him out of the house, ordered the sentry to ahoot him.. The sentry fired in the air, and then, when tha prince repeated the ordier, fho't at Keen and wounded him in tlie leg. The titled torturer, mad with fury, pulled out a revolver and 'ot Keen through the body and again through the head. As the man still showed signs of life, he seized a ram rod and forced it through h last wound into the man's brain. The prince was tried by court-martial and genrtenced to three and a half years' detention in a fortress! Detention in a fortress is a srt of fir&t-elnss im prisonment, and is actually welcomed by manv o Ulcer a a relief from tlie severhy of their duties.. Prince von Arenberg is a memiber of one of the greatest families in Germany, one of which the members are entitled to marry into the reigning family. in the winter of last year a most daring robbery took place in the open street at Ratoum in broad dayJight. The cashier of the Caspian I'.lack Sea Naphtha ctr.any was carrying the sum of $7, (:'() fr:r.! his office to a bank, accompanied by an armed guard.. Sud denly a man rushed out from a sidc street, stabbed Ihe guard, seized the bnv of niior.ey from the cashier and ran oil with it. Two policemen gave chase; the man turned; and shot them both and got clenn away. This daring and successful robber wan 1'rince Alexander Lordki pirmdse, the author of a series of crimes ex celling tho:-e )erpt rated by even the worst of the old tinif western Ameri can desperadoes, lie was at the head of a widespread organi, :;ti n of ban dits, whose headquarters w. re in the ("ai.-ciis noi;i!t.-,iu--, and whu.-e depre dations extended to Hatu:u, Titiis and Baku. A few months ago to be exact, in March, 1901 the hesd of -the band was caught, and with his two lieuten ants. Prince Valerian and Prince F.iias Lulukid.sc, put on trial. The case lasted a fortnight and there were proved airainst them no fewer than 10O mur ders, besides numerous oases of arson and almost innumerable robberiea. All three met a richly deserve fateon the gallows. Rerlin recently enjoyed a sensa tion in high life. Countess von Schlicben was arrested on a charge of settintr Are to her minnner residence in Steglitx, one of the suburb-; of- the German capital. P.ai! wa rt'.'sr-d and the lady immured in pri.vm. The life story of this wom an i.s distinctly interesting. Twenty years ago she was plain Mary Hertog, a flower seller in one of the principal strcf-ts of Perlin. Her business did so weill that she made a fortune and blos sonwrii out as a patron est of charities and editress of a woman's periodical. Then she married Count von. Schlieben, a man considerably younger than her self, and the pair went to live at Steg litz in the villa which has now been burnt down. ThU house, which the courrtesa built with her own money, is the one she i accused of burning. Austria hAS her titled criminals. In April, lbOO, a landed proprietor, Count Kerschendiujff, was arrested for com plicity in an extensive series of for geries in TransyJvania. With him were implicated an ex-district prefect, two lawyers, seveml priest and other perwms of good standing. The not, which were most cleverly forged, were issued to a value of over 10,000 be fore h fraud wss discovered. An other Austrian nobleman who has re cently got into trouble ia Count Hans An, who has been-deprived of his rnnk. ami sentenced to two months' impris onment with hard labor for comanit ting thefts in dentist's waiting- room M Vienna. The esse which has erected moat popular interest of any in which titled criminals have been' concerned is that of Princess Kad.-.iwill. The case arose out of the action brought I rj tMrd party against the lat- ' - 1 I h des and Princess-Catherine K'iv V.l to ob tain wntencc in corrfrti'-n with cer tain pro.i-;-iry r t'-s t' hy the ptincr Bin; lmrt ii'T ' be indtirsed by Mr. Kh!e.

""Well," said the president of the South American republic, "has the rev olution been suppressed?" "Yesterday's has," replied the secre tary of war, "but the nine o'clock rev olution of this morning is still on. We've captured one of the revolution ist but the other is stilJ at large."

Considering his earning capacity, the barber perhaps invests fewer dol lar in the tools of his trade than doe, the craftsman m any other line of skilled work. If hebe a proprietor and have to furnish his shop, the situation is different, but as a journeyman he is not burdened with an iota, of the wight of tools that belong to the car penter, plumber, stonecutter, cabinet maker, and kindred trades. Half a dozen razors, two pairs of shears, s hone, a strop and a mug and brub. equip him for a position anywhere, snys the Chicago Tribune. As for the razors, six of them at 11.50 apiece, providing that ench be good, will last him for his lifetime, and, per haps for the lifetime of his s-on, who may take up the same trade. A raror with a blade only one-fourth of an inch wide has not nearly served the limit of its usefulness. Sometimes it may shave only ten faces and need a honing; at another time it may shave 40 faces and still be in good shape. As for the shears, the two pairs at a cost of $1.50 may be counted on to lnt 30 years in a metropolitan barbers-hop having a good trade. Cuttingthe hair from an average of 15 heads a dm v. a pair of shears needs to be ground alvout once a month. The work of thei grinder finally wears out the shears by shortening the blades rather than wearing the blades too thin to close. A hone is bought for a lifetime, and a strop may last for ?0 years. A brush may last a, dozen years, and the mug for 100 if it is not broken. Altogether a bnTber with the salary of one week might easily eouip himself for the oc cupation of a lifetime. peMl Greater TKmn Thwt nt Llwht.

Draw for Twelve (Htfereat Ailments TurnAefced hr Peanrin-Mot Maehlnee. It ie probable that the climax of the automatic supply craze has been reached by the company which is about to install penny-in-the-slot ma chines, called "everybody's doctor," on the boulevards and principal thor oughfares, says the Urooklyn Eagle. Kach machine is to have 12 slots, which means that not only the reme dies, but also the prescriptions for II different ailments, such as toothache, indigestion, cold in the head and "nerves," will be forthcoming tor the ubiquitous penny. The faculty of medicine has grant ed the system a certificate, and there ii consternation among Parisian doc tors. One doctor said: "It wili lead to all aorta of com plications.
