The Criminal Type of Face.
In an address to the Ethnological So
ciety of England on the right method
of dealing wilh crime und criminals
Sir Bohert Anderwou, late chief of the
crimluul Investigation department at
Scotland Yard, referring to the so
called criminal type of face, said that
on one occasion when Ma$ Nordau
visited him he put before him two
photographs which were so covered
that only the faces were visible. One
was that of Dr. Temple, then archbish
op of Canterbury, nud the other that
of Raymond, the prince of crimlnnls of
his time. The archbishop's face, said
Sir Robert, when in repose had an ex
pression which might almost be term
ed sinister. Raymond had a remarka-'
bly kindly, intelligent face. Max Nor
dau, who was told that one of the two
photographs was that of a prominent
English public mam, would not express
any opinion as to the types.
A Strange Hairpin.
"This," said the gay bachelor, lead
ing his visitors through the flat, "Is
my famous collection of hairpins."
The hairpins, a hundred or more,
filled a Louis Qutnze cabinet. Some
were of shell, some of sliver, some
even of gold..
"This is the strangest." said the
bachelor; "this hollow glass one. See,
there Is a fluid In it, a perfume. And
here is a tiny hole, so that when the
pin lies obliquely In the hair the per
fume Is emitted slowly in delicate
drops.
"It is a Japanese hairpin," he con
cluded. "A geisha In a Yokohama tea
house gnve It to me. I can still see
her as she sat on her cushion playing
the snmlsen, while very slowly, In
drops resembling tears, the perfume
fell on her amber colored cheek."
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Deceptive Woman.
The opportunities young people have
of really getting to know one another
are so lamentably small. The nicest
woman seeks to make herself attrac
tive. Of course she does, and rightly
so. And a man who sees her at two
or three dances a week at Ascot and
at I Ion Icy does not see her as she real
ly Is. Every woman before marriage
Is as deceptive as a company prospec
tus. In the one case you go to a lot
tery, in the other to allotment. The
schoolboy who was asked the fenUnind
of "sir" and replied "siren" had in
him the elements of unconscious truth.
A mnn who is thinking of marrying
a girl should see her In her own home
about 11 in the morning when It has
been raining for a week and she Is
ignorant that any eligible man is
watching her. It is the cheap flannels
that shrink In the wash. London

Planting to Music
In Bataan, according to the Manila
Times, the labor of the rice planter is
a rhythmic delight The fields are not
plowed or puddled, nor is there any
transplanting, but the brush and un
dergrowth are chopped down with bo
los, then burned. The ground Is hoed,
and corn Is planted In spots about six
feet apart When it is a foot high the
rice Is planted, two or three kernels In
a hole, about eighteen Inches apart
One man has a guitar and plays quick
time music, while a close semicircle of
six or a dozen men with long, sharp
ened bamboos give rapid thrusts In the
ground, keeping time with the music
and doing a fantastic series of leaps
backward with Joyful shouts. Mean
while two or three women or girls are
able to drop the seeds In the boles
made by one man and cover them up,
keeping up a Jolly, laughing comment
all the time.
Aluminium Bronze.
Aluminium bronze was Invented by
the French chemist Derllle In 1S39 and
was used experimentally for the man
ufacture of domestic utensils and ar
ticles of Jewelry. It has the color of
gold and retains Its brilliancy, not be
ing attacked by salt water or the at
mosphere. It consists of 10 per cent
of aluminium to 00 of copper. It has
tenacity of Bessemer steel and when
heated is easily forged aud rolled.
