READ   HIS FACE.
The Youthful Amateurs Were Sure He
Was a  Philanthropist.
They were youthful enthusiasts in
physiognomy. On the seat opposite In
the train was a uiuu of commanding
figure, massive brow and serious expression. "Splendid face!" one of them
explained. "What do you suppose his
life work has been?"
"A lawyer?" suggested the other.
"No-o; there's too much benevolence
ln that face for a lawyer."
"Maybe n banker'.'1"
"Oh, no! A man with an expression
like that couldn't have spent his life in
merely turning over money."
"He might be an editor."
"An editor! Cutting and slashing his
enemies at every turn and even his
friends occasionally for the sake of a
smart paragraph? _*ou can't read
faces. That man's a philanthropist or
engaged In some sort of public spirited work. Why, there isn't a line that
doesn't indicate strength of purpose
and nobility! Look at that curve there
on the left!"
At the nest station an old countryman took his seat beside the man with
massive brow and soou entered Into a
conversation with him. In the course of
which he asked the latter "what was
his Hue."
The two opposite held their breath

"Oh. I've got a little tavern and

Picture Forgeries.
There are three or four times as
many Corots in existence as the French
painter produced lu his lifetime. He
lived to be nearly eighty, but at Mont-
martre his posthumous canvases are
still being turned out to meet the demands of tbe market. The old masters never die. They are still working
overtime ln the back rooms of Florence and Home. At Cologne the manufacture of genuine mediaeval metal
work and antique carving is a thriving
Industry. These foreign forgers may
be scamps, but their tireless energy
also testifies to the reverence In whi.-h
posterity holds the great names of bygone periods. If they are not so highly prized, what inducements would
there be for anybody to waste time.

Our millionaire collectors are not constantly exposed to the risk of buying
high priced forgeries where the originals have no value.—New York World.

A medicine show under the
management of of a ball-headed
piece of masculinity calling himself "Dr. BalT' dropped into
town unheralded Tuesday evening. About noon yesterday
they distributed bills announcing that they would give a performance last night, and anyone
who could raise the small price
of a two cent postage stamp
would be entitled to a seat in
the parquet. However, the
small price of admission did
not prove to be as great a drawing card as the '"Dr." evidently
expected. After waiting until
about 9 o'clock for the house to
till up he announced that there
would be no show. The company left for Little Palls this
morning without even showing

A LIGHT ATMOSPHERE.
Why   Smoke   "Beats   Down"   When   ll
Leaves a Chimney.
"It's getting ready tVi u storm. See
how tlu* smoke beats down just as
soou as It eoaies out of tbe chimney?
That'll because the air is so heavy It
pushes the smoke down before It has
lime to rise."
Oue often hears this stated ns fact
concerning that most generally talked
of subject on earth, the weather. The
speaker was probably right under
those conditions In prophesying a
_toru_, but he was scarcely right in
assigning as a reason that "the air is
.so heavy It pushes the smoke down."
Nearly everybody knows It Is easier
to swim iu salt water than tn fresh
tvater. As salt water Is heavier than
fresh water it is evident that the heavier the liquid the greater the buoyant
force.
The atmosphere exerts a buoyant
force upon the smoke from chimneys
In exactly the same way that water
exerts a buoyant force upon a swimmer. Therefore when the smoke "bears
down" as soon as It leaves a chimney
It must be concluded that the buoyant
exerted upon It ls relatively
small and that the air is not heavy,
but light.
A light atmosphere, or. rather, a
sudden lessening of the pressure of
the atmosphere generally, takes place
before a storm. Therefore the smoke
from chimneys, If observed IntelP
ly, furnishes a pretty good weather

The Tricky Fox.
A gentletnau while hunting near a
river one winter day saw a fox nin
out on the Ice aud make at full speed
for an opening ln the ice where the
rushing water of tbe river could be
plainly seen from the bank, says the
Scotsman. At the edge he stopped,
turned, followed liis tracks back to tbe
bank aud then ran some distance dowu
the stream and sat there. Soon a dog
came crashing out of the woods, baying finely, hot on the fox's trail. Now,
dogs when on a chase of this kind
trust almost entirely to their noses.
This one was no exception. He ran
along tbe ice. head down, and when
he reached the hole he could not stop,
but plunged into the water and disappeared forever. Then the fox trotted
away with every sign of satisfaction.
