He never learned the state of his nuances
" until he had none, and then, it being too
late to retrieve his squandered fortunes,
it became necessary for him to adapt
himself to his altered fortunes in tiic

one course left open to him, to lecome a

etrung and sensitive nature this was an
achievement so difficult of execution
that he at one time even admitted iiia:
the sums he extorted by ins bumming
methods could be characterized as oii-r

His fall from his high estate was not

the famous Beau Hickman. Every new

in the lobbies of the hotels. He was
often seen at the capitol and other pui

Here was always an opportunity t

There is nothing like self possession in

To us. in these later times, and with
all the sentiments of Christian civiliza
tion fostered in us, it is almost incom
prehensible that any grown human being
could have the heart to extinguish tin
first struggling life of babies; most of all
does it seem incomprehensible that the
mother, whose nature is wont to well up
and flow out at the first helpless cry of
her infant, and the father, whose instinct
is to hover over and protect and "fend
for" both mother and child in their weak
ness, could ever surrender, or with their
own hands destroy, the creature whom
they have brought into the world. But.
strong as are the natural instincts,
stronger still is many a religious fanati
cism, stronger is a national or tribal tra
dition.
And when we consider that it has taken
ag's of Christian culture and feeling to
bring us to our present height of imairiu
ative sympathy with all forms of life,
till now we are agreed that no more
beautiful, sacred or divine sight is to be
seen under tiie sun than that fof a mother
with a child in her arms, then we can
understand that, while it is an outrage
a sin and a crime to destroy a child
among the taught of Christendom, it is
but a hideous barbarism among the un
instructed of heathendom. Strand ilaga

Reading the Human Face.
Every one knows that uifir's passions,
propensities and peculiarities as Weil as
their callings are reflect; d ;n their faces,
but it is only the few who have made
the study of physiognomy an especial
pursuit who are gifted with the power
of reading those faces. Judges who have
served long terms on the bench, lawyers
in large practice and doctors of emi
nence possess the power of interpreting
physiognomies more largelj than other
people, but any one can acquire the
rudiments of the art by dint of hard
study.
It is as impossible to disguise a face
(without putting on a mask) as it is to
disguise one's handwriting. When v; e
expert comes the disguise is torn olf and
the face tells the true story of the spirit
inside the body. One only needs tovi.Mt
the penitentiary to realize how nndei.'a
bly vice writes its sign manual upon the
features. It is not the drunkard only
whose red nose, flabby cheeks and
watery ej"es betray him; it is the sensual
ist whose vice is read in his lips, the
knave whose propensity is revealed by
the shape of his mouth, and the man of
violence who has been betra3"ed Ly his
eyes.
An experienced detective or a trained
jailer seldom asks the crime of which a
prisoner is guilty; he can tell it on the
criminal's face. In short, all the advan
tages which Fowler told us we were go
ing to derive from the study of phrenolo- I
gy we may possibly gain from the older
and more mysterious science of face j
reading. St. Loiiis Republic. j

A Very Hungry Kl'ti.K'liman.
Fin de siecle in ever'thing, Paris has
discovered that she is the proud possessor
of the very latest thing in cannibals a
man who eats his own flesh. A police
man on duty on the Boulevard a day or
two ago was astonished to see an itin
erant vender of some commodity or
other deliberately and without apparent
suffering cut off a long strip of the mus
cular part of his left arm with a pair of
scissors. This eccentric individual, who
is only twenty years of age and goes by
the name of Leon, was taken to the po
lice station, whereit was discovered tint
he had in a similar manner removed
large slices of flesh from his thighs and
calves.
So far as could be gleaned from the
poor fellow's incoherent talk he has for
six months past been under the influence
of a mad desire to eat the body of 2.
girl. He related how on many occasions
he had followed little children with an
open knife concealed in his hand, ready
to cut off and devour a portion of tlu-ir
flesh, and how he had just, and only jr..-:.
control enough to prevent him from car
rying out his desire. His mania, how
ever, remained, and in order to satisfy
it he had recourse to his own limbs,
which are mutilated shockingly. This
extraordinary case of mental aberration
is being studied carefully by the medical
authorities at the Sainte Anne hospital.
