The News From Henley. ./
One of the English crews at Henley
—the‘Leander eight—has been rowing
forty to the minute, yet with a longer
stroke than the Yale crew, doing twenty-
eight. This is said to give rise to re-
flections. There is no reason why? it
should. A stroke may {he quickened
without being shortened: It was the
confusion between these two Idifi'erent
things which first set afloat the notion
that for a shorter course there ougbt'to
be a shorter stroke.
It is not likely that Mr. Cook evrr
accepted suchaa theory as that, which
might be said to be the foundation cf
bad rowing. But it got possession of
otherminds and has been much harprd
upon. ' ’
There is, however, says the Herald,
only too much evidence tending to-shcw
that Yale are still rowing short and thtt
when they are at racing speed they are
not much longer than Cornell.
This is the one fault whichfithe beIt
Englisii critics find] with them. One

Yale crew are still far below the “81886
Henley style. That they are improvirg
is admitted. They are a'so experiment-
ing, it would seem, both with styles and
cars. I There is but a narrowlimargin

The Bicycle at Street Crossings.
The bicycle is here in daily increas-
ing numbers and, in spite of preachers,
newspapers, civil authorities and an im-
periled public, has come to stay, and
ought- to stay. There can be no (111 s-
tion, however, that its universal use has
added greatly to the peril of ipedes-
trians at the street crossings in cities
and that it is the duty of municipal au-
thorities everywhere to enforce all
needful regulations to reduce this peril
to the minimum.
On streets particularly devoted to cy-
cling like East and West avenues and
Wall street, on which the procession of
riders, especially in the afternoon' and
evening, is an endless one, theggperil is
present at every crossing, for thoseiwho
must cross must keep a lookout each
way to avoidcollisions. With the alert,
active and wide-awake this is difficult
enough ; w1th old, the feeble and those
with 1mpaired sight or hearing the dan-
ger is greatly increased. The rideis
ought to avoid collisions lwith pedes-
trians, but they are often too much in-
tent on preventing collisionslwith other
riders.
The danger is scarcely le:s upon the
other busing s1 streets Lin the heart of
the city. The street cars, carriagrs
and drays add to the peril in the
crowded streets. Those who cross the
streets in the rear of a standing dray
or street car, cannot see a wheelman
coming at a right angle. Neither can
the wheelman see those crossing until
too late to avoid a collision unlers he
slows up and makes sure the way is
clear. This precaution will be taken
by few riders voluntarily, but it must
be taker, especially in the crowded
portions of the city, if frrquent acci-
dents are to be avoided.
We comnend to the attention of our
Chief Bradley, and his policemen, this
particular form of danger from the use
of the bicycle. _ Every rider should be
reqtircd to exercise the greatest care
in approaching crossings upon which
0121‘: or teams are standing or pissing.
Collision with cars or vehicles cm be
easily ayeiled, but there is imminent
danger of running dawn‘the man, wo-
man or child who crosses immediately
behind them. Some regulation that
will prevent this particular kind of
collision seems to Obe imperatively
required if accidents of this nature are
not to become ma‘ters of every-day
occurrence.

TOLD BY THE TEETH. ‘
Character Revealed by the Forms-I
tion of the Ivories.
Large Teeth Indicate a. Broad Tempera-
ment and Small Ones Sh‘ow'a Mentality
of the Minute Order—An In-
teresting Study.
Have you ever thought that you may
tell a person’s character long after his
death, when his body has decayed and
there is nothing left but a few bonen?
Probably you have not, but it is quite
possible, for character may be judged
by the teeth.
In one important respect, character
reading by means of the teeth' IS mere
reliable than. that by means of the
hands, lips, nose, eyes, feet or other
parts of the body, valuable as they may
seem in some particulars.
said that a. man’ s mode of inner life,
the working of his conscience, will leave
some visible trace, some material in-
fluence on his general appearance, thus,
in a measure, thwarting the original
design of nature. For l,example, by
properly schooling the mind from a jo-
cose to a serious temper, a nose with an
inclination to pugness may be made {6
take a. decided downward turn , a mouth
may be made to droop at the corners,
wrinkles may be induced at the cor-
ners of the eyes, the contour and lines
of the hands may change and the feet
may take on a different expression.
But the teeth are exceptional. No
habit of thought will have any influence
whatever'in their shape and character.
As far as concerns them Mrs. Nature
has laid her plans with a determination
that they shall not be modified.
Phrenologists have not agreed upon
any stated set of rules for judging a.
person’s character from an inspection
of his teeth. The best that they pretend
to do is to arrive at a general estimate.
This is not" as satisfactory from the
point of view of completeness and
minuteness as the methods of reading
character by means of other parts of
the body; but it has its advantages in
its increased reliability. By a. careful
examination of the teeth it may be
definitely announced whet-her or not a
person is a. coward or high-spirited,
weak or strong-minded, slovenly or
punctilious. This determination will
reveal the character as it was at birth—-
the native character. There are thou-
sands of cases where individuals have
“lived down nature,” so to speak, and
have evolved an artificial character of
one sort from a. natural character of
the opposite sort. This, provided the
change has been from a. poorer to a
better character, is highly commend-
able, and' is a strong argument against
the doctrine that has recently been
promulgated, to the effect that most
criminals should be excused because
they were born with criminal instincts,
and couldn’t help it“
And yet, after all, W hen y ou are deal-
ing 111th a man you 11111 be better sat-
isfied to know his real, than his artificial
character, and so you may know itonly
by an examination of his teeth. This
examination will usually have to be
conducted covertly, as it is not likely
that the general run of persons whom
you meet will lend themselves to a
minute investigation of their dental
arrangement.
Yo ou may start out with the general
broad statement that small teeth mean
smallness, and big teeth mean bigness.
It makes not much difference to what
qualities you apply these terms. A
' man with small, short teeth can hardly
be concerned in anything big—be it
charity, or'crime, nobleness or deviltry.
His temperament is of theminute order ,
his compass is limited. It engaged in
business, he will work on a basis of
hundreds, 1v hen a man 11 ith large teeth
would be dealing 111th t nousands. If
he engages in crime, he v10uld be far
more apt to steal coppers from a. news-
boy than to explode a. banksafe.
011 the other hand, a. man with large
teeth is a man who goes into things
on, a. big scale. His mind, like the law,
does not care for trifles, “non minima
cura-t.” If he is charitable, he is gem
erous to a. fault, and will be dividing his
last penny with a. needy friend, while
the small-toothed man would hedge on
his charitable instincts as soon as he
saw that they were beginning to cause
him the slightest inconvenience. The
man with the big teeth, if a criminal,
would revel in holding up trains and
in robbing them single-handed -I—— in
picking the pockets of the chief of po-
lice, and in administering knock-out
drops to the commissioners. Bigness
is his weatchw r.d
But it is possible to read by means of
the teeth finer shades of character than
merely those of bigness and littleness.
We may also note insipidity, courage,
heedlessness, ferocity, ideality and
other qualities. If you will examine the
accompanying sketches you will observe
many types that are no doubt familiar.
You will find it of interest to com-
pare some of these teeth With those of
animals, and to speculate as to whether
a similarity in this respect means asim-
ilarity of character. Canine and feline
teeth are remarkable for their point-
.cdness, being larger at the base than
at the-tip. This characteristic may be
observed in some human teeth, and
there are those who say that it. denotes
It has been .
1
the possession of canine or feline in-‘
stincts.
Teeth which are separated by a. gap
denote, usually, a headless, thought-
less, or even slovcnly character. On
the other hand, teeth which are close
together denote alertness of the mind.
Whether this alertness is directed to-
ward great or small things depends
upon the size of the teeth. When the
teeth slant in one direction, as is rare-
ly the case, they ifidicate insipidity.
Firmness, courage and great executive
ability are indicated “by teeth which are
of large size, set evenly in the gums,
and possibly slightly protruding. Small
teeth which point 1nw ard denote Oppo-
site qualities. —N. Y. World.
