LANGUAGE OF THE HAND.
It la a Potent Factor In Lovemakinp
In Sunny Spain.
It occurs to me, in view of other
things that 1 have heard and seen
from my balcony in Cartagena, that
balconies in general are great in
centive* to lovcinaking, apropos
of which 1 am moved to tell tales
out of school. The day that I first
noticed them he was standing on j
the very edge of the narrow side-'
walk just down the street from my
window, and she, a pretty, dark
haired slip of a girl, leaned grace
fully on the rail of a balcony op
posite, high above him. They were
talking softly and earnestly, and it
needed only a glance to tell that 1
they had passed together, hand in
hand, so to speak, into a rose tinted j
world of illusions.
Suddenly, from the rude world of
material things, there entered
through a tall window at the girl’s
back a stout, hook nosed elderly
woman, mother or duenna, T know
not which. She seemed,not to
have noticed the little play and sat
heavily down, as if for all time.
The young gallant stepped swiftly
Luck into a great arched doorway
and stood there quietly in the shad
ows, his eyes fixed on the object of
his devotion. She gave no sign of
nervousness or annoyance at the in
terruption and, without changing
her position or taking her eye*
from the shadowy archway, con
tinued llirting her fan languidly
back and forth, hut with what ap
peared to he a particularly signifi
cant movement.
At last 1 began to be mystiheu by i
that fixed, intent look of these two j
gazing motionless upon each other, j
as if wholly fascinated. What weird j
lovemaking is this? thought 1. J
Have they hypnotized each other
and tlimi forgotten how to break
the spell? Just then the young
man, partly turning, brought one of
his hands into view, and the mys
tery was one no longer. The supple
fingers were flying like mad, form
ing letters and words with such in
credible swiftness that I could only
stand and marvel. Day after day
this same little comedy was enacted
with trifling variations, and good
ness only knows what burning mes
sages passed thus silently between
those two. Later I discovered this
to he a general custom, both men
and women being adepts in that lan
guage of the hands.—-William Hurd
Lawrenee in Harper's Magazine.
Kith and Kin.
At breakfast one morning a fond
father glanced at his pretty eight
een-year-old daughter and began to
playfully question her about the
visit of a young man the evening
before.
“P>v the way. Lilith,” smilingly
queried papa, “what were you and
that young Mr. Cross talking about
so interestedly in the parlor last
night ?”
“J forget now,” blushfully an
swered the pretty Lditli. “Oh, yes!
We were talking about kith and
kin.”
“That’s right, papa,” hutted in
Edith's little six-year-old sister Ma
rie. who lisped, "1 heard them.”
“You don't really mean it, Ma
rie?” jokingly returned papa.
“Ycth, tliir,” was the positive re
joinder of Marie. “Mithtah (froth
tliayth ‘can ] kith you?’ and thith
tah tliayth ‘you kin.’”—Philadel
phia Telegraph.
It Really Is Cape Mey.
Capo May received its name from
its discoverer, a brave but egotisti
cal old Dutch explorer anil navi
gator, whose name was Jacob Cor
nelius Mey. lie came to America
as tbe first director of New Nether
lands in lfi'JJ and immediately be
gan to explore the Atlantic coast.
During this voyage he applied to
New York the name “Port Mey,” to
the Delaware river “New Port Mey,”
and named the capes at the south
ern point of New Jersey “Cape
Mev” and “Cape Cornelius.” The
latter has since become “Cape ITcn
lopen.” He named many other
points on the Atlantic coast for
himself and others connected with
him in his exploration expeditions,
but of all of them only one. Cape
May, has survived, and that is
changed in the spelling.—Ladies’
Home Journal.
Permission to Sleep.
A clergyman staying at a hotel
one night \tas awakened in the
morning by heavy pounding on his
door and the voice of the night
clerk saying:
“Five o’clock! Better get up or
you’ll miss your train!”
The preacher didn’t intend to
catch a morning train and hadn’t
given any instructions that he
should be called at the hour of 5
o’clock, so 'he paid no attention to
the call. In about fifteen minutes
he was again awakened by tbe
pounding on his dooi and heard the
voice of the old man saving:
“Don’t get up. I rapped on the
wrong door.”
