" yWaiStglt"!jg'.i.''. S3awM.ww -i THE TONGUE. ft Appear! That This Organ Can Be Eloquent Even When Silent. From the observations made by a physiognomist It appears that the tongue when quite still can be as elo quent In giving Its owner away as when It Is wagging sixteen to the dozen. This is a hard fact for a silent man to swallow in silence. His only remedy Is to keep well so as to obviate the necessary Injunction of the doctor to put his tongue out, for by this thrust out sign the doctor shall know him. The tongue of the talker when ob truded inclines to the right side of the mouth, we are asked to believe, where as the seldom used tongue gravitates to the left side. Orators, preachers and barristers are endowed with right sided tongues. Verbally parsimonious persons have left sided tongues. Furthermore, "the tongue that shoots out straight without turning or wavering Indicates a solid, reliable man of affairs." Tongues that turn up Indicate Impractical natures. A downward, drooping tongue belongs to a person born to poverty and a ready eye for the hopeless side of things. The cruel tongue flattens and broad ens when extended. The delicate speaking organ with curled up edges is the property of an imaginative and artistic being. When the tongue is sues forth as If gripped in a dental rise It signifies a love of life more than ordinary. Finally wo are warned that the In dividual who thrusts forth his tongue to its extremest verge is a person to whom no secret should ever be con fided, for he Is an irresponsible chat terer. London Chronicle. HE WANTED A PARROT. The Ue to Which the Old Man Would Put the Green Bird. We are all striving for two things success and happiness. To get these many of us are struggling for a third fortune. In striving to attain our desires many of us need a green par rot. In a little town in Iowa, In tho midst of a great stretch of timber and meadow, a man built a costlo. Some thing over $25,000 he spent in building a home. It was finished within with the finest polished woods. The founda tion was of brownstone, tho windows of French plate, and every detail was carried out in the best manner. IIo had grown to be an old man. lie had always lived in a modest cottage of six rooms. This mansion had fifteen. On one side there was a magnificent stone arch over the paved drive that led up to the house. lie had Just com pleted showing a friend over the place and reached this point when the visitor exclaimed: .V- "Wen," John, you ought to be happy. This is a magnificent home. Here is everything one could wish for." "Waal," replied the old man, who was a cattle buyer, "a fellow always wants something elso." "What on earth could you want?" was the query. "A green parrot to hang up thar In tho drive." "Why a green parrot?" "So every morning afore I drlvo out ho would say, 'John, you'ro a darn fool.' "Cleveland Tress. Couldn't Turn It The eyo of little Willie's teacher was sad and sorry, for, notwithstanding that ho was her favorite pupil, he stood before her convicted of tho heinous charge of a theft of candy from a fol low pupil. It was a first offense, how ever, and she did not doslre to inflict corporal punishment A moral lecture, she thought, would fit the case. "Boar in mind, Willie," she conclud ed, "that these temptations can bo re sisted if determination is used. Al ways turn a deaf ear to temptation' Llttlo Willie's lip trembled. "But, teachor," ho answered, "I ain't got a deaf ear." Making Hubby Appreciative. A doctor tells of a note ho received from a woman saying that her hus band, who was about to make him a professional call, found constant fault with the dluucr sho prepared for him. She appealed to the physician for aid. The doctor examined his patient, who had a slight attack of indigestion, and told him to cut out luncheons, to cat nothing but a slice of toast and a cup of tea. Tho scheme worked excellent ly. Of courso hubby returns homo in the evening, eats everything in sight and votes his wife's cooking even bet ter than mother used to make. Boston Record. Thrifty. A Scotsman and his wife were trav eling from Lelth to London by boat When off the Yorkshire coast a great storm arose, aud the vessel had sev eral narrow escapes from foundering. "Oh, Sandy," moaned his wife, "I'm na afcard o' decln', but I diuna care to dee at sea." "Dlnna think o decin yet," answered Sandy; "but when ye do, ye'd better bo flrooued at sea than anywhere else." "An why, Sandy?" asked his wife. "Why?" exclaimed Sandy. "Because ye wouldna cost eae aincklo to bury." Good Advlot. Toung man," said the boss, "come hither and listen." lie approached. "When you've made a mistake for get it and go on to the next Job. Don't potter around all day adding a lot of finishing touches." Louisville Courier Journal.

They Needed Not an Auditor, but a Mathematical Carpenter. Biffklns froze me with a stare. "I tomember," he went on, calmly ignor ing my Interruption, "one time when I was hired to keep books for a saw mill way up north. 'Twas six days by log wagon from ever' place except in' the Infernal regions, the same beta' a quarter of a mile away, straight iown. The durned Blmpleton they sent down to Nigger Wool settlement after me had so much business with a rou lette dealer that he forgot to tell me to get BOtne office supplies, so when we got to camp I found that the principal equipment of my palatial 6 by 8 busi ness apartment consisted of three lum ber crayons, stightly shop worn, and a last year's almanac. I got some emooth pine boards and kept my books on them with chalk." "How did It work" I asked, inter ested In spite of myself. "Like a charm," grinned Biffklns, "until the foreman of gang 1 got on a drunk one night an' slept In the office an' used up fourteen pages of the general ledger fer kindlin' wood the next mornin'. The company sent up an auditor to check over my books, but he went back plumb disgusted. Told 'em they didn't need an auditor what they wanted was a carpenter who was handy at figgers. An' that reminds me" Bookkeeper. FLOATING STORES. Merchandise Steamers of the Muskoka Lake Country In Ontario. Among the interesting features of life tn the Muskoka lake country, In Ontario, are the floating stores. A good sized steam vessel fitted out with every imaginable Item of merchandise that might be required makes a tour of an assigned chain of lakes once each week. On a certain hour of a certain day the boat Is expected nt the different resorts and summer homes, and enough merchandise must be bouKht nt each to tide over until the next trip of the floating store. Upon stepping on board the store boats, says a writer in Topular Me chanics, the purchaser approaches o counter with scales and cash drawer, as In any other kind of store. Behind tho counter are shelves, on which are displayed such articles as may tempt the eye. Behind these shelves is the entrauce to the storeroom and hold, in which more merchandise Is stored. Each article has Its place, and the storekeeper can find It in a moment. Sometimes Isolated farms on the lakes are not worth stopping at every trip, so a flag Is flown when stores are desired. The store vessel drops au chor when the signal flag Is flown, and some member of the family rows out and makes the purchases. Engraved Gems of the Ancients. Engraved gems are among the most interesting objects of art inherited by us from the ancients. Though many of tho catnoos and intaglios were en graved on precious stones over 2,000 years ago, they are still as clear and fine as if they were cut yesterday. The designs engraved on these stones Indicate that the old Greeks and Ro mans regarded them as charms against accident or misfortune. This super stition generally took the form of a fondness for representation of certain animals. Sailors affected the dolphin because It was believed to be the mari ner's friend. Women, so far as fishes were concerned, preferred tho repre sentation of the prolific aringa of the Adriatic, which was a symbol of fruit fulness because of the great numler of Its eggs. The ant was worn ns an emblem of Industry. By the frog was Indicated the idea of resurrection, be cause that Interesting bntrachlan re news its youth each spring by shed ding its old skin. Pertaining to Fish. RiPRslnes on thee, little man! Go a-flshlng when you can. Never mind tho teacher's rule not to run away from school. Take your bait and aider polo and then hunt the deepest hole where the wary troutlets hide by the canyon streamlet's sldo. You'll get licked at homo, of course, and you'll suffer great remorse, but when daddy sees your string he'll gasp and say, "By Jlngl" And his rod and reel he'll snatch and start out to make a catch when your Jacket he doth tan. Blessings on you, little man! Los Angeles Express. Clothes and the Man. Man Is In some sort a slave to his clothes, aud there are many men who dislike wearing the same clothes on two consecutive days, more particu larly tho necktie. For the first two or three things you look at when-you meet a man are hl9 eyes and his neck tlo. And there is a sort of underlying consciousness as you face the morning world that your tlo must be straight and clean and new. But to this end you must buy the cheap tie and throw it away with your sins before going to bed. Loudou Chronicle.
