THE FOREHEAD.
What Its Size and Shcpe Are Said to
Indicate.
A high forehead to bo very good
rhonld I e well developed about the
eyebrows.
r.iv:ulth of forehead Is nlwnys favor
able. It Is distinctly connected with
lireadth of character.
A forehead that curves back reveals
a poetic temperament, a fondness for
the arts and a t:iletit for either music
cr painting.
Of course a broad forehead may be
lart of a weak face, an.l a weak chin
r.r.d mouth will naturally give a truer
impression of character than even a
combination of u narrow forehead
with nn otherwise strong face.
If there is quite a perceptible bulge
cf the eyebrows, combined with a high
forehead, the sign is of a culm, cool,
deliberate thinker.
If with these eyebrows is combined
a forehead that slopes gradually back,
a sensitive, poetic temperament is dis
closed. If, again, they are combined
with a short, narrow forehead, the
subject will be successful in business
and lu everything connected with
worldly matters, but he will be in
capable of appreciating to any extent
cr of creating anything connected with
the arts. New York American.
SAW IT IN A DREAM.
A Lost Check and the Peculiar Way It
Was Found.
A wealthy ?s'ew York lawyer sat up
late one night writing letters he had
rot been able to finish during ihe day.
It was past midnight when he went out
to mail them, and when he returned
and was undressing he paused in dis
may, missing a check for a largo sum
received during the day and taken
liome with him. In vain was the house
ransacked at that late hour. He went
to bed convinced that the lost check
must be in the house. An hour later
lie fell into uneasy slumber and beheld
as with his eyes of the flesh the pink
chpek curled about an area failing four
t'i 2 Ye doors from his own house,
f So real was the dream that the trou
Iiled man woke up, dressed and, slip
ping down the stairs into the street,
walked along the sidewalk to a spot
still seen vividly in his mind, and there,
sure enough, standing edge upward and
partly curled about the iron, was the
missing cheek. "I think," he reported
to the Psychical Research society, "my
subconsciousness must have noticed it
fail from my pocket as I walked to the
mail box and my subliminal self point
ed it out to me In sleep." William G.
Fitz -Gerald In New York Tribune.
The Dogs of Constantinople.
There are at least 235,000 dogs In
Constantinople, which has a population
of 1,150,000. They are the vilest of
cowards and are the scavengers of the
ity. It is said that scores of people
are bitten dally by the dogs of Con
stantinople, but that a case of hydro
phobia was never known there. Three
centuries ago Nassuf Tasha, grand
vizier to Achmet III., transported all
the dogs to Asia and would have had
them destroyed there, but the sultan,
on consulting the mufti, was told that
every dog had a bouI and consequently
forbade such wholesale destruction.
After the slaughter of the janizaries
Mahmoud intended to get rid of them,
for he caused an immense number of
sausages (!) to be made and, having
poisoned them, gave the dogs a feast.
Many thousands were thus killed in
one day, but the people murmured so
much that he was afraid to begin a
second day's work. He therefore order
ed them to be expelled to Asia, but the
order was very indifferently executed,
and in a short time the dogs were as
numerous as during the time of the
janizaries.
The Dog Morland Painted.
Of the many stories of the seemingly
unconscious heroism of Newfoundland
dogs none Is more interesting than the
one concerning the noble dog which
Morland afterward painted.
When William rhilllps, bathing at
rortsmouth, ventured teyond his depth
and was drowning, two boatmen, in
stead of setting out to his rescue, hag
gled about a reward from the bystand
ers, who were urging them to go to
Phillips' rescue. In the midst of the
controversy a Newfoundland dog
leaped Into the water and brought the
exhausted bather to shore. Mr. Phil
lips bought the dog from Its owner, a
butcher, and yearly gave a festival In
fconor of bis rescner.
It was for Mr. Phillips that Morland
fainted the dog's picture, and Barto
Jozzi engraved it.
A Dream Warning.
A strange-story conies from Calabria.
One Braccala, a resident of Pizzo, had
a dream lu which he saw his sou,
twenty years of age, being attacked by
two men, v.-!n were stabbing him with
l.nives. Uraccala awoke and, arousing
his wife, told her what he had seeu.
fche tiled to calm him, but while they
were still discussing the matter a
noise was heard in front of the house,
and, hastening down, Mme. Braccala
opened the door just In time to catch
her son in her arms as he fell swoon
ing to the ground. He had been at
tacked and stabbed and died shortly
afterward.

WHICH WAS RIGHT?
See if Y;i: Can Untangle the Knots In
This Problem.
A you:i man named Knathlus de
sired to learn eloquence and art of
pleading, and he bargained with Pro
tagoras, the ancient Greek sophist, fot
Instructions, agreeing to pay one hall
of the fee down and the other half on
the tirst day he gained a case. It took
the young man so long to learn that
his tutor came to the conclusion that
he was delaying his sart in business
to avoid paying the other half of the
fee, so Protagoras sued him for the
money.
When the case came up for trial Pro
tagoras said to the young man: "You
act most absurdly, young man, be
cause in either case you must pay me.
If the judges decide against you, you
must pay, and If they deckle for you
you must pay, for you will then have
gained your case."
"You are wrong." replied the young
man. "I will win either way. If the
judges are for me, 1 will not have to
pay, and if they are against me I will
not have to pay, for this last was the
very bargain between us namely, if 1
did not win my case."
The judges considered the case inex
plicable, and as they could not see
their way to any decision they ad
journed the case to a day that neve:
came for any of the principals. Ou
Protagoras' side it was a case of los
ing when be won and on the young
student's side winning when he lost.
ANIMALS AMBIDEXTROUS.
Why Man Gives Preference to Right
Hand Over Left.
Tight handedness and right eyedness
came with genus homo. Dr. George M.
Gould has watched for them in squir
rels that use their front paws toehold
nuts, cats that strike at insects in the
afr or play with wounded mice and in
many other animals, but he Is certain
no preference Is given to the right side
or?r the left.
But Id the lowest human savages all
over the world choice in greater ex
pertuess of one hand is clearly present.
One cause for its development is in
primitive military customs. In all
tribes and countries since man used
implements of offense and defense the
left side, where the heart lies, has been
protected by the shield, and the left
hand was called the shield hand, while
the right hand was called the spear
hand.
Next to fighting came commerce.
The fundamental condition of barter
ing was counting with the low num
bers, one to ten. The fingers of "the free
or right hand were naturally first used,
and all fingers today are called digits,
as are the figures themselves, while
the basis of our numberings is Ihe deci
mal or ten fingered system. Every drill
and action of the soldier from ancient
Greece to modern America is right sid
ed In every detail. Firing from the
right shoulder and sighting with the
right eye bring the right eye into prom
inence. Exchange.
Her Protector.
"Well, sir," explained young Mr.
Sooberbs, "it was like this: I thought
my wife might be afraid of tramps, so
I bought her a watchdog. He was a
fierce looking bull, and I reckoned he'd
about fill the bill. I got him in the
morning and had him sent right out
to the house. When I got home that
night one of the toughest looking ho
boes you ever saw was sitting on the
porch. 'What in thunder are you doing
here?' I asked. 'Well, boss,' says he, 'I

A Girl After His Own Heart.
A Scotchman, wishing to know his
fate at once, telegraphed a proposal of
marriage to the lady of his choice.
After spending the entire day at the
telegraph office he was finally reward
ed late in the evening by an affirma

"If I were you," suggested the opera
tor when he delivered the message,
"I'd think twice before I'd marry a
girl that kept me waiting all day for
my answer."

THE SUN A PUZZLE.
We See Only the Outer Shells of the
Great Blazing Orb.
The great ball of fire which we call
the sun Is not really the sun. No one
has ever seeu the sun. A series of
joni'oiitrie shells envelops a nucleus of
which we knw absolutely nothing ex
cept that it-must lie almost infinitely
hotter than the fiercest furnace niul
that It must amount to more than niue
tenths of the solar mass.
That nucleus is the real sun, forever
hidden from us. The outermost of the
enveloping shells Is about 5,000 miles
thick and Is called the chromosphere.
It is a gaseous fluid, tinted with the
scarlet glare of hydrogen, and so furi
ously active that it. spurts up great
tongues of glowing gas (prominences)
the height of thousands of miles.
Time was when this agitated sea of
crimson fire could bo seen to advantage
only during an eclipse. Now special in
struments "are used which enable as
tronomers to study it lu the full glare
of the sun.
Beyond the chromosphere, far beyond
the prominences even, lies the nebulous
pallid corona visible only during the
vanishing moments of a total eclipse,
aggregating not more than seven days
in a century.
No one has ever satisfactorily ex
plained how the s highly attenuated
matter composing both the promi
nences ami the corona is supported
without falling back into the sun un
der the pull of solar gravitation. Now
that Arrhenius has cosmlcally applied
the effects of light pressure a solution
Is presented.
How difficult It Is to account for
such delicate streamers as the promi
nences on the sun is better compre
hended when we fully understand how
relentlessly powerful is the grip of
solar gravitation.
If the sun were a habitable globe
and you could transport yourself to its
surfacefyou would find yourself pulled
down so forcibly by gravitation that
you would weigh two tons, r,??Umhig
that you fire f"1 ordinary human being.
Your clothing alone would weigh
more than a hundred pounds. Baseball
could be played In a solar drawing
room, for there would be some tllfli
culty In throwing a ball more than
thirty feet.
Tennis would be degraded to a form
of outdoor ping-pong.
From these considerations It Is plain
that gravitation on. the sun would tend
to prevent the formation of any lam
bent streamers and to pull down to its
surface masses of any size. Harper's
Magazine.
BARNUM'S OLD LION.
How the Great Showman Turned His
.Death to Account.
Among the features of the parades
of the Barnum circus there was for
merly one that never failed to attract
attention. On the top of one of the
wild beast cages lay an enormous Hon.
He was not confined In any way, and
nervous people watching the parade
would shudder at the sight and con
template the terrible possibility of the
Hon springing into the midst of the
crowd.
But the venerable old king of beasts
had reached the leonine dotage, and
stiffened muscles and blunted claws
rendered him harmless. He was as
mild as a kitten and in the winter
quarters, where ho was allowed to
roam at will, sometimes had to bo pro
tected from the onslaughts of Irrever
ent and mischievous purrples.
One night he wandered from the
quarters. In the course of his travels
he chanced on a barn where a meek
eyed cow was placidly chewing her
cud. A faint flicker of the slumbering
Jungle spirit stirred bis pulse, and,
with a crashing blow of the huge fore
paw, the cow was slain; then, lying
down beside his victim, be went to
sleep and dreamed of the time when he
was a shaggy little whelp playing with
his brothers under the bright sun of his.
faroff African home.
In the morning the owner of the cow,
a stalwart female with the blood of
Irish kings in her veins, entered the
barn with milk pall In hand. She was
filled with wrath at the sight that met
her gaze. With a keen edged ax in her
hand and grim determination In ber
eye she fearlessly approached the sleep
ing lion, and when the men sent out to
search for him arrived he lay cold in
death. Barnum promptly paid for the
dead cow and engaged to appear on
exhibition "the woman who In mortal
combat had slain a Hon."

between Barneses II., king of Egypt,

clauses providing for the extradition of
emigrants, deserters, criminals and
