In three Northern States in which bal
lots were cast for Prohibition candidates
in 1837, the vote increased as compared
with previous election", and in four
Noithern States the vote decreased. The
Statis in which this vote was larger last
year than before arc New York, Massach
usetts and Ohio, and those in which it
was smaller are New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Nebraska and Iowa. The . decrease of
the Prohibition vote in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania was due to the fact that
the Republicans of thos States, from
which party most of the Prohibition
strength in the North conies, cuacttd ef
fective high license laws, which pleased
nil reasonable temperance men. The Re
publicans of New York passsd a high li
cense bill about three weeks ago, which
Got. Hill vetoed. Tin Republicans of
New York naturally expect that their en
deavors to throw all practicable restraint
over the liquor traffic will lesson the Pro
hibition vote in that State this year.

READING CHARACTER.

BY
Tho Art of Reading tinman Nature at
Glanos Intuitu Perception What
tho Kjreu Indicate Nose, Mouth and
Chin Tho Walk.
"The proper study of mankind la man," is
the way a scientist greeted a reporter the
other day who called to learn something
about the art of reading human nature.
"This faculty of reading a man at a glance,"
he continued, "is extremely interesting, and
enables one to discriminate wisely in bus!
nesa as well as in social life. It is also a
great aid in making a discreet selection of
friends and associates, and it often saves one
from becoming the dupe and victim of un
scrupulous and designing persona."
"What are the signs r queried the reporter,
"by which an ordinary person con tell the
character of a stranger f
"Well," answored the scientific man, "by
the eyes, the hair, the nose, the month, the
forehead, the chin, and last, but not least, by
the walk. In my opinion this faculty should
be included In the education of youth, and
every person should become thoroughly
familiar with the fundamental principles, at
least. It Is a well known fact that animals
possess in a large degree this talent in fact,
it could be called an intuitive perception of
character. This is more especially manifest
in the more intelligent classes of animals
for instance, observe how a cat, a horse or
a dog will watch and read the character of
their masters, and acting as they do upon the
conclusions thus drawn, regulate their con
duct. Women also have In a large degree
the faculty of reading human nature, and
their conclusions are usually correct.
THB XTXS AND THE UOCTH.
"But," he continued, "to go into detail
we'll commence with the eyes, the most elo
quent features ot the countenance. In fact,
they are miniature windows through which
every desire, passion and impulse looks out,
and differ widely In color, brightness, size,
shape and expression. For instance, a large,
bright eye denotes quick perception, and is
Indicative of great susceptibility to external
influences, while small, dull, sunken eyes
will retain impressions longer. Beautiful
eyes, with finely arched eyebrows, when
found in a man, Indicate one of truly refined
and artistic nature and ouo who is an ardent
admirer, and appreciative of symmetry, ele
gance and loveliness wherever they appear."
"How about beautiful eyes ia women V
asked the reporter.
"Why, when beautiful eyes, with finely
arched eyebrows, appear in a woman they
denote a character fond of dress, pleasure,
music and other artistio pursuits, although
at times they are indicative of a cruel, spite
ful nature. Largo, full e3'es, resembling a
cat's, are indicative of a timid, stupid,
treacherous nature, and the possessor of
such eyes will seem frightened and appre
hensive when engaged in conversation with
you."
"Row about the mouth r" said tho reporter.
""What important part does that play in
reading the character of a person V
"A very Important one," answered the
scientist; "a large mouth belongs to a coarse,
vulgar person. Lips with a cherry redness,
having a cushioned appearance, belong to
domestic natures, fond of kissing and ca
resses; they moke oiTectiouate friends. Lips,
on tho other hand, that are thin denote a
great deal of self control and an indication
of coldness and unsooii&ihty. You have
often seen persons with their lips habitually
open. W ell, they belong to a class that thirst
for notoriety, applause and commendation.
Generally spiking, they are deficient in pas
sions, emotions.
IMPORTANCE 09 THB KOS3.
"One of the most eloquent and important
factors in the general make up of a person's
character is the nose. "When wide and prom
nent it indicates a character strong in its
composition and one determined to accom
plish everything undertaken. Indicative na
it is of a commercial nature, a person with
such a nose would make a good iuicss3 man,
while the opposite type of nose, L e., narrow,
is indicative of rather an effeminate charac
ter, with a great deficiency in business pur
suits. When turned up, continued he, as
yours is, it denotes a prying and inquisitive
character, on indefatigable news hunter.
Should the cose be the reverse, however,
that is, convex like an eagle's beak, look out
for the possessor of such a proboscis, as he is
exceedinglyj revengeful, never forgetting an
injury and naver forgiving one. It is also
indicative of a quarrelsome disposition."
"Perhaps you dont think it, but tba chin is
another guide to character," continued the
scientist. "A broad, full one 6hows strong,
unchanging affection, and a narrow one,
while possessed of more intensity, lacks in
power and couslaujy. A pointed chin is an
adjunct to a warm and iuipuuire character.
The square, massive cmn, tnougn, is tno in
dicator of a strong, determined and persis
tent character, and one possessed of great
will power. These are the ones that achieve
success in this world and have stamped them
selves like Caesar Indelibly on the cpnununi
ties, the countries and the times iu which
they have lived.
44 And now," said the scientist, "my time is
drawing is a close, and I will have to stop,
touching slightly upon fnac last great requi
site in tho make up of a cbaracter-y-the walk.
Now, every one has a style of gait peculiar to
himself or herself, denoting firmness, decis
ion of character, fickleness and instability.
Those who step firmly may bo regarded as
possessing a firmness and solidity of charac
ter, while a light step indicates that tho pos
sessor is of a mirthful disposition, and apt to
be secretive. A graceful step belorig3 to a
person who transacts his business in an easy
manner. The brisk, rapid walker is a person
of ambition, energy and hopefulness, while
those of a shuSIing gait aro almost in every
case traitors, usually resorting to treason and
stratagem to accomplish their end$." Wash

Feasting on Elephant's Feet.
Speaking of elephant's foot takes us natu
rally to the Kaffirs, where this dish is the
crowning triumph of their bill of faro. Jvight
is tho time generally selected by the Kaffir
for the enjoyment of this prime luxury.
Other portions of the elephant aro eaten with
great gusto, but the feet are esteemed tho
delicacies of the feast. A hole is dug in the
ground and a fire made on the bottom. It is
allowed to burn down to a- heap of coals,
which are scraped out by the cooks. When
th? oven bos been freed from embers, the foot
is rolled into it and covered with twigs and
green leaves. Alter this tne not emoers ore
replaced and a roaring fire started over the
neap. In this manner the foot is baked, and
when the fire bos burned low the contents of
the oven are lifted out by several men, and
the feast opens. Travelers who have feasted
with the Kaffirs on occasions of this kind
have paid glowing compliments to their
cookery. The natives aro said to love ele
phant foot next to the marrow taken from
the leg bones of tho giraffe or eland, but the
Dreoaration of this food does not afford the
enjoyment which la associated with tlio dish
which v bare described. Philadelphia

SAGINAW SALT MANUFACTURE.
Making a Salt Well A "Salt Illock
Various I'rocesses.
-Tho
In making a salt well It la necessary to
keep out the surface water. To obtain
this result a five or six inch hole ia mude
down to solid rock, on which a
"shoulder" is made, upon which rests the
Iron tubing or "casting." Below that
the hole b narrowed to two or threo
inches, and carries that size down to
brine or sale Where rock salt is the ma
terial at bottom fresh water is forced
down from the surface. It dissolves the
salt, loads itself with all k can take up,
about 24 per cent., aud by the same
downward pressure of surface water
flows into the "cisterns" through on in
side pipe, as clear as distilled water. A
good well will yield from 400 to COO bar
rels of brine per day. But constant
pumping will clog up the pores of the
salt rock, produce constipation of tho
well, so to speak, and the yield fails to
such an extent that it becomes necessary
to remove the pump and administer a
cathartio in the form of a nitro-glyccrine
torpedo.
The water as It comes to tho surface
empties into huge cisterns built on
trestles high enough to admit of draining
them Into the "settlers" inside of the
"salt block." The brine is clear as
pumped, but as the air acts upon it the
iron it contains in solution takes on a
rust color. To get rid of this the brine
is "limed" in the cisterns. A wash of
lime is stirred into it, which precipates
the iron, and in a week the water stands
perfectly and permanently clear. Then
it is drawn into other large cisterns in
ttie block that are called settlers. These
are fitted with four-inch galvanized iron
pipes, through which a current of steam
flows, heating the water to 175 degs.
Fahrenheit. Tliis heating does two things.
It throws down the gypeuni which exists
in the brine as a sulphide, and it evapor
ates the water. 75 per cent, of which
most be thrown off in vapor before
crystallization takes place. But the
reader will understand me better if I
first show him a salt block.
One having a capacity of 225 barrels
per dav may be described as follows:
The "block" is 203 feet by 90, 40 feet
high under the center, which includes
the ventilator running the entire length
of the grainers, and 1(5 feet high in the
posts. It contains two "settlers," each
140 feet long, 9 feet wide and 4 feet
deep. As the cisterns outside are high
enough to drain into the settlers, so tho
latter are high enough to drain into the
"grainers," of which there are four, each
150 feet long, 10 feet wide and 18 inches
deep. Through these also run galva
nized 4 inch steam pipes. To heat set
tlers and grainers there are 3,744 feet of
such pipe, and other pipes connected with
the works make a total of 9,000 feet,
The grainers stand about 0 or 8 feet f rom
tne ground, and over tneir center runs a
platform upon which the salt as "lifted"
is left to drain before being dumped into
the "bins," of which there are about
twenty. Connected with the bins are
the "packing rooms," and adjoining the
block the "shed," 230x150 feet, with a
capacity of 25,000 barrels of salt.
Now let us go into the block again
The settlers are full. It is, say 8 o'clock
a. m. The block is so full of steam that
you will have to strain your vision to see
the floor on which you walk and guard
against missteps. The grainers are nearly
empty of brine, but their bottoms are
covered with the salt that has been
quietly falling there for twenty-four
hours under a heat of 185 degs. Along
each side of a gvainer the gang of eight
men Is strung out each with his "stent

the lower limbs are drawn old woolen
drawers, red being a fancy color, and on
the feet old shoes or boots with the lc;

are as clean, solid and hardy as well

The 6a!t lifted, the grainers are refilled
with brine from the settlers, its tetnjxn'

short time you will see a film forming
over the surface of the saturated brine.
1 hat is salt, watch it a few moments
and you will see this film break into
pieces and take a "header" down below.
So the process goes on for twenty-four
hours, when the lifting operation is re
peated, and so from day to day through
the season. By 1 1 o'clock the men have
wheeled the salt to bins and there settles
over the graining room a silence as pro
found as that which must have brooded
over the abyss of nothingness ere it was
said there should be light. Yet in that
silence goes on unceasingly from hour to
hour a mystery as wonderful, as beau
tiful, as divine, as is 6een bi the evolution
or dissipation of a world. The heat un
folds the wings, as it were, of the molo
cules of water and they rise through
the air, but the sodium i too heavy, too
earthy, and cannot soar. Having got
the mitten, as it were, it turns to the
atoms of chlorine hanging round. They
embrace and materialize in tiny crystal
cubes. Charles Ellis in Chicago Herald.
