How PEOPLE MAY BE Jubeeo'ev
' THEIR MOUTHS.
Jealous People Easy to Pick Out. How
Benevolent,‘ Quick-tempered, Conceit—
. 'ed, Cynical, Haughty, and Sentimental
:‘ People May Be Detected.
It is remarkable what studies of char-
acter a casual glance at the lips of va-
rious individuals will bring forth.
Glance now and then at the mouths and
chins of people you know, and follow
the rules given below for the purpose.
The mouth of a jealous person is the
easiest to discover. It has deep inden-
tations at the corners. The lips are
coarse and heavy, and drawn at the
corners to the extent of becoming no-
ticeable. This kind of mouth is apt to
snap itself shut.
The good natured month, which also
1enotes a considerable degree of
thoughtfulness, is large and straight.
it shows the teeth 1n laughing and has
full lips.
Most people know too well the mean-
ing of those lips which droop. It is the
melancholy signal of a. pessimist. If
the under lip reach over the upper, it
is an additional sign.
A mouth of one fond of drink or “tip-
pling," has an under lip of unusual
heaviness. It droops and hangs out
from the teeth. The upper lip in a.
wine lover, is heavy and of a bid pro-
portion. The chin of the individual is
often indented.
Aconceitcd mouth is inclined to be
tightly drawn, except in cases of idiotic
complacency. The corners often incline
upward.
You will know the tendencies of a.
cynic by the flexibility and elasticity of
her lips. These are generally capable
of all expressions and many changes
during a short space of time.
A benevolent or charitable individual
is discovered in this way: The lips are
equal and the teeth well covered by
them. They curl sufficiently to show ‘
the red of the inner lip without making
the under one seem to droop 01' to
shorten the appearance of the upper.
The upper lip hangs just a fraction into
the lower one when the mouth is closed,
and the corners of the mouth turn
neither up 1101' down, but seem to cease
suddenly. The benevolent mouth is of-
ten rendered additionally sweet by the
presence of dimples.
Your friend who is given to pouting
will have lips which droop at the cor-
ners, thick lips and an upper lip slight-
1y shorter than the lower. This combi-
nation also indicates a. strong vein of
vanity.
A secretive man or woman will have
a long upper lip. This will curl 111 upon
1he lower as if gathered. It appears to
be firmly attached at the corners to
prevent the lips fly .11g off from the
teeth.
Pick out your quick- tempered friend
as follows: Her mouth seems cut. from
the nostrils downward, not turning
down the corners only, but rather the
entire mouth. Her upper lip is short
and her under lip very full. She is
haughty, impetuous. high bred, inde-
pendent, and impulsive. She' has no
medium between friends and bitter eni-
mies. .
A strong will has three symptoms;
The lips cover the teeth and meet on a
straight line, which show a very little
of the red, and have, when closed, a
smooth, but not a. drawn appearance.
If you want to find the woman who
is always in love, seek lips which are
quite full and which r011 slightly from
the teeth and unite bluntly at the cor-
ners. These it is almost impossible to
close without making the lips assume a
gathered appearance. Such are the in-
dications of the sentimental woman.—

One Right Answer.
Gov. Mattox of Vermont was at one
time chairman of the committee ap-
pointed to examine candidates for ad-
mission to the bar of Caledonia County.
He reported that one of the candidates
was, in his Opinion, unqualified. having.
answered correctly but one of the ques-
tions put to him.
“Only one? Well, what was that?”
asked the presiding judge.
"I asked him what a. freehold estate
is,” replied Mattox.
“Important question,"said the judge;
"and what was his re ply?"
“He made it Without the least hesita-
tion,” said the chairman, with a twin-
kle of his eye; “of course, that fact is
in his favor.”
“Well what did he say? ‘2” asked the
judge with some impatience.
"He said.” returned the chairman,
"that he didn’t I know.”——-Washington

A Great Scheme.
“Soakley always manages to have
something to drink. and yet I never
knew him to have a. penny. I don't un-
uerstand how he gets it."
"Don't you know Soakley's game?
N 0‘! Well, he’s no slouch, Soakley ain’t.
You see, he has a jug, and in this jug
he forces‘a large dry sponge. Then he
takes the jug to the balkeeper and asks
him to fill it with whiskey. When this
is done he asks the b1.rkeeper to slate it.
Of course he won 1: do it and the whis-
I-zey is poured back, but about a. pint al-
ways remains in the sponge. Soakley
takes the jug home, fishes out the
sponge, squeezes it, and gets enough to
last him a day. Say, there ain’t only
One or tWo flies 011 Soakiey, even it he is
too healthy to work.” ’
Many Private Elevators.
The passenger elevator has become a
fixture in the homes of 11' ealtuy New
' Yorkeis.
Over one hundred OWEN, rs of fine
residences in New York City and vicin-
ity have elevators in their homes, and
some of them more than one. About
seventy of these elevators are hydraulic
.and thirty-six or more electric. The
latter power is coming into general use.

It Burnished His Father for Cleaning Hi:
Nails in Church.
A strange tale of a man’s resentment
for an injury done his father in me than
thrc 13- quarters of a. century ago was
b1 ought to light recently by the visit to
this city of Daniel Porter, a. wealthy
merchant of San Jose Cal.
True to a vow registered many years
ago he refused to stay longer than 24
hOurs in a State that had meted out to
his father unjust and terrible punish-
ment for a trivial offence, the mere
thoughtless infraction, in fact, of a. blue
law even at that time almost in desue-
tude. Although pressed to remain by
his host, a. well known West End man,
his determination not to pass "70 nights
in the old Nutmeg State could not be
shaken, and he left for New York Sun-
day afternoon.
“In the year 1816, his father, whose
name was also Daniel, was a young man
of 18 years in the little town of Coven-
try. Sermons were tedious things in
those days, and one Sunday as young
P01 ter sat in church, he allowed his
thoughts to wander'. Absent mindedly
he drew his knife from his pocket and
commenced to cut his finger nails. The
sharp eye of the tithing man caught the
desecration of the sanctuary, and ’Por-
ter was immediately place-J. under ar-
rest.
The court 111 which he was tried pre-
ser ved the usages of old Colonial days,
the present Constitution of Connecticut
not having een adopted until 1818, and
the gravity of his offence was clearly
recognized under the old code. The
court found a. punishment to fit the
crime, and Porter was ordered to be
banished from the State for life. What
is more, he had to go, for there was no
dallying with the law them. days. Por-
ter had desired to go to sea and a consta-
ble escorted him to New London,where
he found a ship.
He followed the sea for more than 20
years, but early in the 40’s he drifted to
Cincinnati. Here he married and had
two sons. One of these is the one who
paid the city a flying visit 011 Sunday.
Early in life he went to California, and
has become a. wealthy man.
He said, that while he recognized the
fact that his father could have returned
without molestation many years before
he died, he thought he had been done an
irreparable injustice, which never could
be forgiven. He entertained, he said
no feeling of love for or piide in the old
State which had been the birthplaceof
his forbears.
Mr. Porter arrived in the city Sunday
morning, and late in the afternoon left
for New York. He saw but little of the
city, and said he was not interested in
anything that came from or was a part
of Connecticut. —— Bridgeport Morning

RESTAURANTS HIGH AND LOW-
One Twenty Feet Below the Street, the
Other Three Hundred Above.
he hungry man in New York can
eat in a restaurant twenty feet below
the surface of the ground, where a
course dinner is spread for 8 cents, or he
can dine 11p near the clouds at any
price within the range of his purse.
The restaurants of Gotham range
from basements on the Bowery, in
Chinatown, and in the Italian quarter,
to first class rel ectofies on top of the
sky scraping office buildings downtown.
The restaurant farthest removed. from
terra. firma is known as the Eyrie,
and 18 located on top of the American
Tract Society Building, on Nassau
street, while the one nearest the nether
regions is situated in the sub cellar of
an old mansion at No. 34 Mulberry
street.
To climb to the Eyrie, a man would
have to take at least 414 steps in the
stairways alone, if he walked, and as
many more to reach the ground, a. good.
day's exercise initself. In fact, a per-
son who had no appetite might work
one up by such a 011mb, and then di-
gesta good dinner by walking down
again.
As yet, this idea has not become popu-
lar, hungry men preferring to reach the
restaurant by means of the elevator.
The main elevators run to the twentieth
floor, after which it is necessary to as-
cend a flight of stairs, where there is a
car to take passengers up to the top
story, in which the restaurant is 10-

Mrs. Claude Falls \Vright Says She Was.
Married to Claude Five Thousand Year;
Ago; and Cycles Before that, Mr-
Wright Asserts, They were Associated-
From the “looks of things” and the
unconscious confessions of glance and
blush, Mrs. Claude Falls W'right is well
contented to have renewed by the The-
osophic ceremony her pl ev1ous matri-
monial ventures with her husband, for
she can scaicely be called a widow, yet
5110 is hardly as recent a bride as might
appear on the surface. Her husband is
a man with a past, but she knows what
it is. For the matter of that. she is
likewise gifted and she will doubtless
' -ecciv e leniently her husband‘s possible
('11 01s of thought,” for no one c an say
but that she may herself have had many
husbands since she first saw him.
“I doubtless met my husband in many
previous incarnations,” Mrs. W'right
admitted recently, with 11. demure
glance at him as he sat Opposite in their
common office at N o. 144 Madison
avenue. “But our former marriage is
more clearly impressed on my memory
because the association in that cycle
was the same as in this. It was about
five thousand years ago when we were
formerly associated in this way.”
“We have been associated in earlier
cycles, in ages-before that,” Mr. \Vright
interpolated, “but the association you
refer to happened to be one of mar-
riage.”
“How are you able to fix the time of
the former association?" was asked.
"We cannot- determine it exactly,"
was the reply. “We know about what
the cycle was by the similarity of cus-
toms, dress and manners.”
When asked for definite experience of
any former incarnation, Mr. W'right
said:
“That is one of the things of which it
is impossible to speak. To say definite-
ly what one’s experience has been, to
put one’s self on record in that way is to
be regarded definitely as a crank; while
otherwise one is only indefinitely so
considered!” and he smiled understand-
ingly across at his wife.
With regard to ti: 9 recognition of
each otherc in the present cy (:19 Mr.
Wright said:
“I have known since I was 4 years
old that my wife and me had met be-
fore, by the recurrence of her face in
dreams.” -
His wife’s recollection was more
vague. '
“I had known ‘ since a child." she
said, “that I should ma1ry a man who
came from over the sea. I 1121 d impres-
sions of my past and present life more
distinctly as a child.”
She admitted that she had passed
through varied incarnations since her
former marriage to Wright.
“I have no doubt,” she said, “that in
one of them I have been aman. The
soul is sexless, you know, and I believe
that we must see life from all stand-
points, in order to gain experience.
You have seen'women who seem to
have an almost masculine comprehen-
sion of the life Sometimes they are
woman suflragists, for instance. It 1m-
plies that in some recent incarnation
they have been men and have been used
to seeing the world through men’s eyes.
It is one of the provisions necessary to
reform. There are some womenwh‘o
have essentially feminine qualities, the
gentle, timid, quiet ones, who have
been women for many cycles. The
Hindoo women, for example, who are
the ideal of femininity, have. doubtless.
been through many ages incorporated
in female bodies.”
Mrs. Wright could not remember? de-
finitely any of her experiences as a.
man:
“The experiences of past incarnations
are best recognized by the result in the
present one.
Mr. Wright and his wife referred
their statements to each other during
the conversation, by smiling glances,
such as might have been exchanged be-
tween a brother and sister who had
grown up in close companionship, or a.
husband and wife, who had been mar-
ried intermittently since the time when
the world was new. —New York Herald.
A Key to Japanese Art.
If a Japanese artist wishes to describe
in color and design the anticipation of
happiness he draws a. picture that 1s a
combination of an April evening, a.
moon, 3. nightingale, and a plum tree
or two. Victory is symbolized by the
iris; grace and quietness by the willow
tree.- and the swallow for symbols. Pa-
triotism is sometimes indicated by a .
spray of cherry blossoms; the almond
flower is the flower of spring, and sym-
bolizes beauty. The dragon twines and
writhes an artistic course through all
Japanese art, root and branch. His
name is Tatsn, and when you see him
pictured as fighting with a tiger it is the
symbol of religion fighting against
power. A dragon floating about in the
clouds means success in life; tori, the
cock, perched upon a drum, signifies
good government. Both the Greeks
and the J aps use the butterfly to sym-
bolize imnfortality. — Boston Evening
