"It's a queer thing," remarked the professor, "how people can control their eyes a ltd not their mouths." The inventor with whom lie happen ed TO bo talking made the comment that the professor probably meant tongues when speaking of mouths. "No, I didn't moan tongues. I ' meant months." 'lie professor rejoined. "I mean, if yon want to be scientifical ly accurate. the action of the lip uius- j < !es. There's nearly always, in a I moment of excitement, of exaltation, i!e; i sion or emergency, a telltale movement on their part which can't j be : '.lrded against. Why can't it be j guarded against'.' Because it is so i largely unconscious. Most of us from ' our youth up have been trained to use ! eur eyes and to use them in such a j va.v as to conceal our emotions. It's ; different with the mouth. Perhaps we j haven't advanced far enough to do ; tv.'o Mteh important things at the same i time. Anyway the fact remains that I we don't do it. "If. for example, 1 have reason to believe that a man is not telling me the truth 1 don't give my attention to his eyes. He may look at lue as fear h. ;i.v as he wants. What I watch for is something significant Ui the re gion of his face below the nose. If there is no change In the expression I of his lips I am disposed after all to | believe him. But if there is the least I trembling or twitching, the least exbi- ! bition. let us call it, of nervousness- | well, then, I have my doubts." "1 -oppose." observed tlie Inventor, "that while that fact does not explain the wearing of the mustache it shows that the mustache has uses." "It does." returned the professor, "hut you must remember that the mus tache. as a rule, doesn't obscure the lower lip. And the lower lip, if you'll take the trouble to notice, is if any thing more revelatory than the upper ) one. It is usually .that lip which gi\es I the expression to the mouth The up- i per lip follows suit, as it were." "Well, well." said the inventor, tin- ! goring his mustache.—New York Press. A KING'S UNDRESSING. ' Tho Ceremony Was a Wonderful One j In Louis XVl.'s Time. In "Memoirs of the Comtesse de il'.i'o" (1781-1814), edited from the 0 I,'iital manuscript by Charles Nieoul hiud, is found the following realistic d -eription of the 'voucher" of Louis I XV 'V "i iie king's coat, waistcoat and shirt j were'taken off. lie stood there naked to the wai :f, scratching and rubbing i him eU' as If he had beeu alone, in the presence of the whole court and often many strangers of distinction. The first valet handed the nightshirt to the | most highly qualified person, to one of the princes of the blood if any were ' present. This was a right and not a lav >r. When tho person was one with j whom he was on familiar, terms the • king would often play tricks while | putting it on. stepping on one side to j make the holder run after him, accom panying these charming Jokes with j loud guffaws, which greatly vexed those who were sincerely attached to him. When his shirt was on he put ' on his dressing gown, while three val- j eis unfastened his waist belt and knee > b . lies, which fell to his ankles, and In that garb, sear:":.." able to walk with j these ridiculous fetters, lie would shuf- [ tie round the circle of those in wait- \ lag. When the king had had enough ! of it, he shut'ied backward to an arm- ' chair which was pushed into the mid- j die of the room and dropped into it. j lifting up his legs. Two pages on : their knees immediately seized his ! lc-'s. pulled off the king's shoes and let. ' tln-iu drop villi a crash, which was :• pohi of ctl ;tiettc. .is ; .>;>!! as he heard the noise tie- usher opened the door, ! saying. 'Centlomou will please pass' out.' Tho-,' present wont away, and ; the ceremony was llnish-d However, the person who was holding the can dh- lick was allowed to stay if he had ; :itv. thing special to say to.the king. I no I hence the value that was. attached to this strange favor." Unlucky Suggestion. An old vicar had a groom who had been detected stealing his master's oat;. The vicar had not decided what course to take, and meantime the , groom had gone to the curate to ask him to plead for him, and the sympa thetic young fellow hastened to the rectory to appeal to the vicar. The 01 l vicar heard his curate out. bu !'> Ucd obdurate, so as a last resource the curate quoted Scripture as a plea for leniency anfl said we were taught v hen a mad took our coat to let him take the cloak as well. I THETERROR'S DINNER "Rattlesnakes on Toast" Was the Cowboy's Order. BUT HE MET WITH HIS MATCH The Promptness With Which the Tough Waiter Served the Dish Took ( the Terror's Nerve Away—The Re past and the Final Request. Away back in 1870 a mnn uanied j Turpin established a restaurant in Yuma, and among Turpin's original employees was a waiter named Job , Straight, who could shoot with great ' j precision, play draw poker with un- 1 j varying success and pack eighteen j ! plates of miscellaneous grub upon one • | bate arm at one time. He could exe- ; cute all the prevailing melodies either i on piano or guitar, and he possessed j the most tremendous baritone voice j ever heard in Arizona. Why. men some- ! times went to Turpin's just to hear Joe j deliver gastronomic orders. No per- j feet description can be given of that voice, however, except to say that at times it really did make things clatter. : Once a fresh young cowboy from near Gila Bend entered Turpin's for a | Christmas dinner who took a startling I I concoction as an appetizer and then j i dropped thud-like at a table and rough ! ly shouted to Straight: "Say, there, Baldy! Bring me some 1 I grub!" I Job was at first appalled; but, recov ! ering his reserve limit of equanimity. | he brushed an Imaginary breadcrumb ; from the frescoed tablecloth and j whisked a bill of fare from the varle- j | gated castor and placed it before the ; new young terror of the Bend. ! "Take it away!" cried tho latter in | I tones that could give Straight's ordi | nary, everyday baritone a castle aud | checkmate it in five moves. "I don't i want to read your darned old tract. 1 don't care a darn who came into the | world to save sinners. Bring me some ! grub—g-r u-b! Grub! Grub! Grub!" j "What do you want?" "Rattlesnakes on toast! Aud 1 want J you to hump yourself!" "What's that?" ! "I've given my order, you baldheuded 1 | old cigar store sign, and i want you to | | get a move on yourself, p. d. y. Battle- \ I snakes on toast!" ■ "Rattlesnakes on toast!" cried Job to , i the cook in accents that would have j paralyzed Carl Formes had that old j basso profuudo been living aud heard 1 them. "Rattlesnakes on toast!" was there- j verberatlng response from the cook upon receiving the order. There were a dozen or more people In i tire restaurant, aud their eyes were at once turtted on the young person from j the Bend and the infuriated waiter. I In the meantime the cook had taken a big cattish and cut it into four strips and roiled these strips in batter, so j ! that they much resembled the viand or- j j dered, and after placing them in the ] ; frying pan he stuck his head out of tho I | kitchen and shouted to Job: j ' You want them rattlers rare yr well J done?" i The waiter repeated the interrogatory | I in a cyclonic way, and the terror re- j [died iu as violent a tone and manner ! | as lie could command. "Well done, with j ; plenty of gravy and Chili Colorado." j And then Job thundered to the cook: j "Well done, with plenty of Chili Col«>- j | rado, hot as , aud moccasin gravy ; lon the side aud brochettes of sand ; I crane livers and Gila monster lights!" ! i There was an Instantaneously dead : silence in that restaurant, and ail ejes ; were again cast upon the terror and I (he waiter. The former turned ashen ! I pale and began to weaken perceptibly, | i while Job gazed at liis victim. ! "Maybe you don't think we can serve | i all the market affords," muttered Job. ' i "Maybe you don't like moccasin gravy j !or brochettes a la mode. Maybe you : I ain't hungry!" j "Say! You've got me—l ain't hungry, j i <o help me. 1 couldn't eat a single hard j boiled egg. Countermand that durued i i order, old man, and I'll pay all ex- I (lenses and set 'em up as long as any- j ; body can drink. Beg pardon, gentle- j i men, all. My llrst attempt to be a ter- j | ror—pardon me, gentlemen. It's my last!" i And then he handed his revolver to j i Job and added: "Take that pistol, old man, as a j present and promise me that the next ' time any durned fool comes In here j ! and calls for rattlesnakes on toast I : you'll shoot him dead!" But Straight was too raving mad all •tlio way through to willingly emerge i from a situation only tolerably tri- I tmiphaut. So he took the weapon just | as the order was being placed on the | table and. pointing it at the terror. : exclaimed: "Now, then, my boy, dump yourself j into that chair aud eat them snakes - ; bones, skin and all!" The young fellow did as he was com- 1 inanded, but, after finishing his repast staggered the uncompromising Job by : shouting: "I say, Baldy, bring me another i plate of suakes!"--Dcuver News. Wanted New Ones. A traveler putting up at a fifth class hotel brought the "boots" up with his | angry storming. "Want your room changed, sir? ! What's the matter, sir?" "The room's all right," fumed the j guest scorchlngly; "It's the fleas 1 ob ject to, that's all." "Mrs. Bloobs," bawled the "boots" in an uninterested sort of voice, "the gent in No. 0 is satisfied with his room, but he wants the fleas changed."—*l - iustrated Bits. i Cultivate the Habit of buying reputable' goods from a reputabe concern. !We are agents for W.
