CLAIM THAT AMERICANS ARE DEVEL OPING ON THAT LINE. Increasing Ke Heiiiblunce In Faces to the Aboriginal Tjpe A Study of Heaela, Witli Especial Attention to the Resi dents of Pennsylvania. It is an extraordinary question in an- j thropological science; which has been propounded popularly of late. The in fluence of environment upon tho race resident in the United States must in the course of four centuries produce cer tain marked and undeniable physical results. It is not generally acknowledg ed by American anthropologists that there is a tendency of reversion to the typo indigenous to tho soil. But foreign students of race, with more perspective, have offered interesting food for reflec- j tion. A writer in tho Chicago Times Herald, commenting on the assertion of the French authors that on this conti- j nent the American white man has varied ! toward the Indian type, offers a support ing study which is curiously fascinating j possibly vastly important. First, the familiar faces of the carica turists' creation are: called in jus wit nesses. The Yankee and the southron large and loose limbed of these pictures are types, even as the stout, full faced Jolui Bull is a typ'. found in another environment. Both American favorites of the cartoonist have high cheek bones and usually excellent straight noses. These witnesses are not, of course, scien tifically admissible. The faces given us by the caricature makers are impres sions, not testimony. Scientific, however, is tho study of fered of the Pennsylvania Germans a happy, thrifty, frugal people, who have been subjected to American conditions for nearly two centuries, with very lit tle intermingling with other races, much less than the English peoplo in New England or in Virginia. It is true that the pervasive and be guiling Irish have intermarried some what with these old Pennsylvania set tlers, but in the main it is a very exclu sive, pure blooded Palatinate stock. Data have been secured relative to a large number of school children and to adult males from 25 to 50 years of age, and many copies of portraits of original settlers. It appears that stature in creases and that other important gener alizations may be made, tentatively of course. The increase of finger reach is marked, and the head measures aro im portiuit. "The anthropologist places consider able value uion certain proportions or relations between measures, " says the student of the subject. "Thus the length of the head and the breadth of the head, when compared, give numerical expres sion, which is called, the cephalic index. To find it the length is divided into the breadth and the result multiplied by loo. A head one-half as wide as it is long would have an index of 50; one three-fourths as wide as long would have an index of 75; one as wide as it was long would have; an index of 100. There is no race whoso head is normally so wide as to have an index of 100 or so narrow as to have one of 50. The higher the index, of course, the broader and sounder the head; the lower the index, the longer and narrower the head. Ger mans generally are notably round head ed. Topinard gives for some people of Lorraine the index of 85. .'J. The average index of 100 Pennsylvania (-rcrmaus is 81.lt, which is notably less and nar rower. The' heads of our northern and eastern Indians are still longer ;uid nar rower. We cannot at present make a further comparison with profit. What we have already said may prove erro neous when wo learn the actual Palati nate tyH'. We assume now that tho Palatinate Germans were of medium stature, light haired, blue or light eyed, round headed, with a finger reach of 1.043. We find that the Pennsylvania German children are dark in hair and eyes, that the men are probably of in cre:ised stature, that heads appear to be lengthening, that arm reach appears to lie increasing. In all these respects the Pennsylvania German varies from tho assumed Palatinate type and in the di rection of the Indian. If our assumption I proves valid, we may claim that our evidence shows change, which, if con tinued, may form an Indian typo from the German. " All this, it must lie noted, is abso lutely distinct from any of the reasons for discussing the tendency of Americans to revert to original types from the in filtration of the red Indian blood itself in the veins of the white race. From the days of the old French and Indian wars fireside tales of New England intermix ture of that sort have Ih-cii common enough. A recent novel Iras expressed the country knowledge in New Englaud that then is an occasional "streak" from ancestry that approached New England from the west as well as that which approached it from the east across the Atlantic. In the western states and territories the great mimliers of half breeds whose descendants find their way into the life of cities brings to lcar a curious and unreckoued force in the de velopment of the fiber and sinew of the race in North America, Boston Tran script.

And How he Was Saved From Bein2 I Poisoned by flistress Betsey Ann Blessing (Detroit Free Press. J In the summer of the year of grace 1776, when the American army was stationed in New York, the comman- der-in-chief, General Washington, was indulging m a brief resting spell after-! dinner when he was approached by an ! orderly, who saluted and said: "A young woman who calls herself B rt.-ey Ann Blessing would have speech wnh Your Excellency." Betsey Ann Blessing," repeated Washington, with a momentary shrug of irritation; "wivi is she, and why may she not defer her business until to-morrow? I warrant me that her lover is a prisoner of war, and she is ready to swear that she is a loyal Whig. What think you, Holdfast?" "If you please, Your Excellency, she is well favored, as far as I could know from her crying, for she is in sore trouble." "Aye! I am a true soothsayer! Crying, is she? Show her in, Hold fast, and see that the guard trouble her not. I misdoubt my own judgment in giving audience to stiangers in these troublous times. It mayhap that Mistress Blessing prove a traitor in disguise." The orderly soon returned, ushering in a girl so young she appeared like a child, and indeed, acted like one, for no sooner did she stand in the pres ence of the great man than she seized his hand that hand of stalwart pro portions and dropping on her knees kissed it with the ardor of a devotee. Meanwhile the tears streamed down her face in piteous torrents and her form shook with suppressed emo tions. Washington had a tender heart and he was greatly distressed by this un usual scene. "You have something to say?" he asked gently. "Speak on, but I beg, my child lhat you cease weeping." "Oh, Your Excellency you are too kind," said the girl, and, rising to her feet, she uncovered a beauiilul down cast lace, which glowed pink and dewy through her tears like a rain- washed sun-kissed rose. "Now, Mistress Blessing," said Washington, in his kindest manner, "tell me what brings you hither and what your errand may be?" "I came hither to save Your Ex cellency's life," was the startling re sponse. Instead of laughing at the apparent presumption of the weeping girl, he bade her tell him everything, promis ing her immunity from punishment in case her news was r.ot as weighty as she anticipated. Thus encouraged, she began her story. "On the morrow Your Excellency is to dine with several officers of your command under guard?" "How know you this, girl?" asked Washington, much surprised. "Your Excellency will lay certain plans against the enemy before the company?" "l'rocecd!" commanded Washing ton, sternly. "Among the dishes set before Your Excellency will be a new vegetable of which you arc very fond." "Ah," laughed the General, "you have lost or forgotten an order trom the kitchen. Here is, indeed, a new veision of the mountain and the mouse." "I know not, gracious sir, what meaning that hath of the mountain and the mouse," cried Betsey, "but if a mess of green peas be served at the table on the morrow I beg and beseech you, sir, not to taste of them!" "Wherefore, Mistress Blessing?" asked Washington in his sternest man ner. " The peas will be poisoned!" "How know you this?" demanded the general in the tone which made h:s soldiers quail when they heard it. "Speak, and see lhat you trifle not with me. Nay, child, do not fear! If what you say be true, not you, but the traitor who planned the dastardly deed shall suffer!" "Xo! no?" retorted the trembling girl, "no one must sufler! Is it not enough that 1 have dared to come into a lion's jaw to tell of the deed, to en sure satety for the designer thereof? Now that I have warned Your Excel lency permit me to retire from your distinguished presence." General Washington gave a signal and instantly an armed guaid of sol diers responded. "Arrest this girl!" he said sternly "and keep her under guard until such time as she send for me to confess her fault!" "That will I never, though" I die in prison!" was the defiant reply, as the girl, who had entered bowed and weep ing walked out with the soldiers like a young queen. All was tumult in the kitchens at Richmond Hill, and cooks were run ning about getting into one another's way, when a lair-haired youth in the garb of a serving man loitered in and made his way unobserved to the great fireplace, where he uncovered the skil lets in which the vegetables were simmering on tne hearth. When he came to that one containing the peai he dropped in a handful of some con diment and instantly took his depar ture. His next apperance was under the window of that room in which Mis tress Blessing was incarcerated. WASHINGTON'S LIFE IN "H i s t! Sweetheart! The dose is ready. Keep heart until the morrow, when t wiH elf reIe3se thee to rjde pick-a-back on my roan horse. It is told in the town that Betsey Ann Blessing is arrested for a spy. Keep up your courage, s'-veetheart! "If you would befriend me, betake yourself to some safer place," whis- ! pered Betsey's voice through the bar- red wimjow hj . ab,jve ,jm A ha, ter will be readv for vour neck if von are seen or suspected, ami listen if your dose lakes effect, you are no longer a lover of mine!" The youth went away, grumbling about all being fair in love and war. If Washington was different from his usual self at that historic dinner, the fact has not been recorded. There was much secret discussion of weighty affairs with his guests, but he gave close attention to the viands set before j him. It was not, however, until the vegetables were served that he mad any allusion to the food When his ! favorite vegetable, a dish of green peas, was uncovered, he demanded at tention, and when all were silent here marked in a loud voice: "There is death in the pot!" A great excilement ensued; the guests, who were in full uniform, drew their swords and murmurs of "death to the traitor!" were heard on every side. Then Washington sent for Mistress Blessing, who came with a defiant light in her eye, and was given the seat of honor at her host's right hand. She took it with a dignity that called forth approving and admiring com ments. Soldiers are proverbabially gallant land thoee of "76" were no exception to the rule. A servant was next sent out by the Commander-in-Chief on a peculiar er rand. He returned, bringing with him a live and particularly active chicken, which partook eagerly of the dish of peas. And in five minutes by the watch it lay dead in their midst. Betsey Ann Blessing married her lover, after turning him into a patriot, and Washington himself gave away the bride. How much he knew re mained his own secret, but green peas never afterward graced his table or were alluded to in his conversation. Wise Words. (The South-West. ) Who judges another, condems him self.

FORTUNE TELLING FAD. NAPOLEONIC FASHION AGAIN POPULAR WITH THE GIRLS. Source of Much Amusement-lnstruc ! tlon Which Will Enable Any Lady to Practice this "Gentle Art" With Success They are Worth Studying. In these days of looking to the stais for one's fate, of diving into! e es 'er- ic of studying the lines ii lie palm lor an index to character ami pros pscts, the old fashion of fortune-telling by cards is being revived. And wher ever there is a gathering ol women, 1 there will the revealer of things to j come be a doubly welcome guest. S , : if you are not learned in tho ways of i astrology, phrenology, palnn-try and j the like and have no time for such ! studies, it is worth your while to turn your attention to the reading of cards as a never-failing source of amusement ' a ftd , .ni.nl i r if v during the c:l T d nl 4 v - ' ' , r :.. ' nig season 111 in.i,uuiing an) t.ir- mi. For, where is there the person who will not seek to learn what may lie in the future, scoffer though he may be of ihe gentle art of fortune telling? To begin with, the most form late time for reading your future is on Eii day. Emperor Napoleon, it is well known, was much addicted to consult ing the fates, but never on any oilier day than Friday. The crossing of the oracle's palm with silver is another necessary precau tion. Do not overlook this, or fate will not be appeased; silver is her price, be it nothing more than a dime. Divers methods are used in the tell ing of the cards, but those in which the whole pack is used are preferable. Here is one practiced to day by a fa mous French woman, whose grain! mother, soothsayer-in-chief to Napole on the Great, foretold many of his successes and failures by this same method. Let the person whose fortune you may wish to tell shuffle well the whole pack. Then, taking the pack into your own hands, let him cut three times and wish. Each time you put the cut under the pack, after first re moving the bottom card of the cut. Remember, also that it is very neces saro to make a cut with the left hand. Mystics will tell you that this is a po tent factor, since the left hand is near est the heart. The cutting finished. the fortune teller, holding the pack with the backs upward, runs the cards off in threes, turning them up as she does so; and, if they prove three of any one suit, three diamonds, hearts, clubs, or spades, or three face cards three aces, two aces and face card, or two face cards and an ace, take them off and add them to the three cards already left by the cuts. Add to these cards the last card as you run off the pack. Have the cards what is left of them shuffled again, and repeat the cutting and wishing and running off in threes; let this be done for the third time. From the pack accumulated by these means you do the reading. That finished, the' whole pack is again shuffled, the whole process of cutting and running off the cards repeate 1, and the result consulted for the benefit of the person desiring to know his fu ture. Then this person once more shuffles the pack, and when all the cards have been spread out upon the table in a circle, proceeds to draw in and shuffle them well; from these the final predictions are pronounced. Ac cording to very old and widely used authorities, the following meanings are ascribed to the several cards: The ace of hearts always stands for the house your own house; the two of hearts, for a friend with the four and five of hearts, for a lover or sweetheart. The three of hearts represents a near relative, a lover or sweetheart, with the four or two of hearts the husband or wife. The four of hearts is the house of a friend; when found with the three and five of hearts it signifies marriage, or talk of marriage. The five of lu-arts indicates a flirtation, admiration, love making or a friendly invitation; when combined with the five of club-; it means an offer of marriage. The six of hearts denotes a short j mrney to the house of a friend, or with a fiiend; the seven of hearts, a surprise or some good luck at the hands of a friend; the eight of hearts, a jolly company of friends, frivolity when combined wish the eight of diamonds it means a rath er boisterous occasion, where much fl ws The nine of hearts is al ways the wish; when combined with hearts, especially the ten of hearts, you are sure to get your wish. The ten of hearts foreshadows news of a wedding or an engagement; when it is seen wiih the four or five of hearts you will attend a wedding; when it is combined with the ten of diamonds, money will come unexpectedly through a friend; with the ten of spades or clubs it pre dicts a fortunate business undertaking with a friend. Tne jick, qieen, king, of a suit, represents young man, woman or el derly person, according to position. The ace of diamonds announces a let ter, with the three of hearts a love letter, with the five of diamonds, a let ter of invitat;on, with the ten of spades or clubs, a business letter. The t.-.'o of diamonds promises a new acquaint ance, a stianger; the three ol dia monds, very good ne; the four of diamonds, journeyings in foreign land-; the five of diamonds denotes an invi tation; with the six of diamonds, an invitation to ride: with the Six ol hearts, an invitation to the theatre, The six of diamonds is orelude to a carriage ride, an excursion or pleasure trip of some kind; the seven of I ia- 1 1 an unexpected money trans-. an unexpected sum of uior.ey.

The ace of spades stands for a large body of water, a ( long distance; when reversed, it some- : times means a death, as when com- ! bined wiili ihe lour and five of spades. Tw of sptdes presages a he, un guarded talk; with the four ef spades, a death; with the two of dubs, sudden death. The three of spades means a journey by water; ihe four of spades, a sick bed, illness; the five of spades, an unsuccessful undertaking, a treacher- ous offer or invitation; the six of: spades, a long journey, with the seven j of diamonds or seven of hearts, an un- j expected journey. The seven of spades ; denotes a failure in a business way, a cpiarrel or unkind words; the eight of ! spades, jealousy or gossip; when it is found with the seven of spades, next a face card, the person indicated is de-, ceitful, a great talker a false friend. The nine of spades predicts a great disappointment and is the unluckiest card in the pack in combination with spades, if combined with hearts or dia monds, the d issapointment will be! slight; with Ihe nine ot clubs it means, a loss of some kind. The ten of spades ! indicates a business transaction, some j large undertaking. Two cards of a dene -initiation denote a surprise: two fives, an unexpected invitation; two sevens, an event entirely unlooked for; two threes, sudden or unexpected news; two sixes, an unexpected journey; two tens, an unexpected undertaking Three of one denomination presages events of astiil more surprising natme. Three sevens mean very astonishing news of some kind, to be determined by the cards surrounding them. Three tens is the most propitious of all com binations, me'inmg i happening of the greatest imp..! :.n: c and advantage. Three fives s' and for an unexpected opportunity of grnt itiip.it. Three aces are governed by the leading ace when letdinj fro n rih1. to lelt, oi by the ace nctie-t the ; ersonal cmd ll that card app'-.M- n the chosen pik. The fortune iler must remember lhat hundred-. ! different combina tions present themselves in the reading of the cards, but perfect faniilunty with the significance of each card, and practice, will soon make the reader an adept in the translation of any unusual placing.

Possibly many of you suppose that the umbrella is a modern invention, but it is not. Both as an emblem of rank and as a protection from sun and rain it is of very ancient origin. Though tho materials used in the manufacture havo Ijpen constantly changing, the general construction of the frame hiw been changed but little in thousands of years. Egyptian and Ninevito sculptures of the earliest dates have many representa tions of the umbrella, but it is "invari ably in connection with royalty. It wa?i id ways held over the he;id of n monarch when he ile in his chariot and at his greut ojk u air feasts. In somo of tlu Hiudexi sculptures Vishnu is represented carrying an umbrella, when going on a visit to tho iiiferual regions. Wo find frequent references to the umbrella in the Greek poets, for its use was quite fashionable among women of high rank iiiGrcveo. In the middle age s it was an emblem of rank in the church. Umbrellas were carried over cardinals and bishops in solemn processions, and all of the large cathedrals owned one or more umbrellas that were kept for use on such occasions. The Chinese adopted the umbrella at a very early iriod in their history, and for many centuries were the only people thnt did not confine its use to tho king and princes of the hhxxl. However, they permitted only men of wealth and high position to carry them. The common people protected themselves from tho elements by making their hats broad und umbrella shaix'd. From the time that they established their empire the Japanese have made muc h use of the umbrella. It is ab-o used throughout India, but it is a mark of rank iu Burma and Siam. One of the titles of the king of Burma is Lord of the Twenty-four Umbrellas. He uses white; silk umbrellas, mid no other per son is jiei'mitted to uso a white one. The prinevs of tho blood each have, us a mark of distinction, two gilt um brellas, with handles 10 or 15 feet in length. The other officers of the sta& have but one. From early drawings it seems proba ble that the umbrella was introduced into Europe in the fourteenth century, but it did not come into general use un til about 1700. Philadelphia Press. A Xetv 1'olnt In IiiMitranoe. Tho ingenuity c f some insuranco com panies in devising ways and means for evading riMio:i.-iliility is equaled ly nothing on earth. A claim was recently made against an accident insurance com pany for indemnity by a physician who had met with an injury in a very pecul iar fashion. He had lioeii ill its the; re sult of an acciek-nt received some time previous, but was partly n-covereel. While driving he was scize-d with a spasm, ami grout exhaustion overciuno him. 11" stopjie-d his horse and proceed ed to administer a JiyjKidermi; injection of some powerful stimulant to which ho resorted in swh emergencies. Just as he was aliouu to insert tho needle' his horse started. The needle was driven deep into the flesh, inflicting a severe and painful injury. Ho sned for indem nity, he be ing disabled for 22 weeks. Tho judge dismissed the complaint on the ground lhat the injury was not caused through external violent and ac-c-idi ut:d menus in the intent and pur ,(,! e f the policy. This dec ision will strike the ave rage thinking individual as somewhat peculiar. If a mishap duo to the sudden start ing of a horse is not an accident, it might bo interesting to know how the wonl could Ijo clefinecL New York Ijedge-r Women ami IiiNUrum e-.
