The "science" of glassomancy con sists in reading people's characters by the shape and size of the tongue. Thus, according to glaasbm anoints, a long 'tongue shoWs frankness, a short one dissimulation, a broad one unreserved ness, a narrow one concentration, a long and broad tongue Inclination to gossip, a long and narrow' one frank ness'. Those who possess short and broad tongues are untruthful: those whose tongues are short and narrow are sly as well as bad tempered. Hold out your tongue ! gogt on Globe. Table Oilcloth Hss Msny Usss.

Old ginkson is a lot that way; ,he .seldom has a word to say. J ask him fqr a.pouiiji of lime;; jhe wraps it up and all the time, he wears ,a tragic ajr of oom, and sheds au atmosphere of gloom. He never chats he never spiels, uor jumps up high and cracks ,his heels. He .isn't gruchy or unstrung,; he tiever learued.to.wag.his tqugue Oh silence is a golden thing, pheu tisn't worked too hardly jiug. But none' of us will stand up strong ,fqr tuen that gabble all day long, and elocute a thousand miles in .fifty seven varied styles. The dealer who is prone to talk until you hear him round the block, is worse than t 'other lqnd of bird, who's never inow,u to spring a wqrd. But .if you've scantling you would sell, you ought .to boost ,it wisely .well and if a gent should buy a plank, to .build himself a dipping jtank, you might suggest ere home he speeds, that yqu have other things he needs. J. called on Lumber Dealer Gaff, to buy a shingle and a half. Hp put my. purchase ,in a sack, and wrapped a string around and back, and as he, toiled in manner gay, he talked .to pass the time away. "The farm ers jn busy troops are building .stately chicken coops; the Vyitj.ter soon will hit the road, and heus must have a warm abode, or they won't lay theii lucidus eggs, but sta.ud around on frozen legs." And that recalled the fact to nie that J. had hens some ninety-three, and ere I left that lum ber store, I bought a wagon load or more, of stuff t,p build a chicken shed; its standing now all painted red. And that's the way big sales are made, an,d that is how men build up trade. Talk corn cribs at the proper ti,me, or prove s silo is sublime, but in an incidental strain, and not as though you'd gladly sprain your conscience which I hope is hale in eagerness to get the kale. Suggestion is a noble art; the wise rnatj gets it down by heart. Her Feul Accent. "Her French pronunciation Is. fear ful and wonderful."'

Mayhew home, on Tuesday evening, in honor of little Fern's eleventh birthday. A good time was evident. Games were played and refreshments served. And some expect a newspaper man to exist as a Chinamen as they rake in the sheckels, from his efforts to build up the town. A narrow conception indeed. Always Leap Vtar.
