Character Reading of Match Box To the truly great nothing is ever email. (Carefully watch a man as he stripes at match on a box and you wi I be able to tell his cbaracter tO such an astonishing extent that all other mind reading schemes will be as nothing. The rules are simple. You can find some excuse to hand a man a new box of safety matches, and even if you turn your head as he strikes a match you can tell about him by looking at the box when it is returned. The striking portion of the box will have at least one scratch. If only one scratch is found, and if it is in or near the centre and lightly made you have before you a man who is careful, ac- curate, gentle and thorough, a man who never does things by halves end who looks to seewhat he is doing, There Is an exception to this --if the scratch is across one end of the box and lightly made you have a man who combines all the other good qualities with a habit of thrift and economy. The wise man knows that Lhe easiest way to strike a safety match Is to rub it gently on the aeratching eurfaoe, if ho accomplishes his eitit'pose and uses a small fraction of the surface he is sure to have enough of the composition Left to finish all the matelles in the box. The pian wito has a box which keepe him busy looking for a new place to strike is a man who goes ahead without due regard to the future —he Iles used his surface regardless of what is to come. ff a man makes half a dozen digs en the striking part he has little system in his make-up. 1f ho strikes several times in quick succession without giving the match a ehanee to light he is not 'sure of self or anything else. As a workman he would waste time and material. If a ntan'e own match box is torn and almost useiese you may employ him to drive slaves or mules but he will ruin the mules. If his box surface Is evenly worn when the matches are gone the man is a careful workman in any line. The man who strikes at random, Jab- bing it here and there, eanreUrnes lightly and lastly with a hard stroke, Is carelese end sloppy and shows Im- patience as well as temper- a man 'who blames his tools for faulty work. A rough jab denotes stubbornness and a grade of "don't care" according to the fierceness of the mark. Such a man is not efficient and would drive screws with a hammer to finish his work, regardlees of the staying qual;- ties of the work. .A straight scratch shows thought. a circular one shows flippancy and light- ness of mind. not always bad, but us- ually carefree and rather a good fel- low in any old place.

If he burns his fin- gers and squirms and swears he is a man who will acknowledge his own short -comings, and is a good fellow. If he seeks to hide his mistake he is seoretive and overly cautious, he, would make a good secretary—if you watch the cash box.

The British Air Ministry has invited the Government of Canada to prepare an aerial survey exhibit for the Em- pine Exhibition at Wembley during the ,•:;ming summer. The request is par-' +icuharly for a full detailed exhibit of the method used by the Canadian Gov- ernment for plotting aerial photo- graphs. The Topographical Survey, Department of the Interior, which Is the central aerial surveying unit for the Dominion Government, has pre- pared in co-operation with the Royal Canadian Air Force, an exhibit which Will show the rapid development 1 pment in Canada of methods for practical 'ap- plication of aerial photography to map- ping. 4.

Rankine now entered upon a very singular part of his career, for which his birth, upbringing, and former ex- perience had in no way prepared hint. Ile had to face the world with such marketable accontp:i' liments as he ,possessed, and discover what they were likely to bring him in the way of fame or fortune. Many of lineage as high, of charac- ter as irreproachable, and of disposi- tion as willing, have been forced by circumstances into that somewhat galling position, and have passed through all its searching grades of experience. Rankine's assets, roughly speaking, were a decidedly pleasing, even strik- ing appearance, a -good education, knowledge of horseflesh and of out- door life in the country where he had been born. But of business ho was singularly ignorant, and his three years in Bombay had actually taught him little, for the powers in authorityn there ]tad quickly eough gauged his capacities, and had seldom made calls upon them. He was used as an orna- ment to the establishment, so to speak, and regarded as the man who was always willing to take the casual or unexpected visitor out to lunch, to do Bits well, and keep him in good humor until he happened to bo required in the interests of business. But in New York City Rankine found himself up against a very dif- ferent proposition. When he descend- ed to breakfast, considerably after the scheduled time for that scrappy and always hasty meal egton together by the inniptes before they scattered to their widely Varied occuppations, he found the table cleared, ..although -the cloth still adorned it, and the roes retained the mingled odors of coi1ee, bacon, and fried potatoes, No one was about, but when, after conte brief colloquy with himself, he rang a bell, black Sanrbo appeared, grinning cheerfully. "Brekkus is orf, sal; and de Missus goe down town." "Oh, very well," anstvered Rankine, reddening a little at the snub, and half disposed to raise a racket on the spot; but reflecting that he lead prob- ably struck one of the unalterable rules in a system of which he had no previous knowledge to guide him, he decided to go forth in search of his morning meal. 11 was twenty minutes past nine when he left the house, and, although he was unaware of it, New York had been awake and at wont for Hours, and had already broken the back of its working day. The, early summer sunshine lay, warm and golden on the busy streets, and the air of cheerful activity per- vading both the atmosphere and the people, was not without its effect on Rankine. Not liking the look of any cafes. or restaurant:: he encountered in the im- mediate vicinity, thought every corner block simply yawned an invitation, he made his way to Broadway and enter- ing a somewhat pi " tentious-looking place with much eol"red glass and ornamentation about the outside, he ordered a subststitial breakfast, re- flecting that, awing to the lateness of the hour, it could serve as luncheon as well, and thus effect an economy. While he waited for the mea] in a practically deserted saloon, where he could not escape :front visions of him- self in the mirrored panels of the walls, he pulled out his pocket -book and began to sort out the addresses. They were now practically reduced to four. The first one staring him in the face was to Mr. Findlay Mac- alister, at a number in Broadway, the very street in which Ise was at the moment. To Findlay Macalister, then, he de- cided to go first, for, being a fellow - countryman, doubtless he would be more inclined and, probably, more competent to advise a tenderfoot how to set about earning his living in New York. seemed more real and tangible than the rest, and therefore,, being a pure- tiy personal introduction, was prob- ably more likely to bear fruit. i' It was one; of the elder business blocks an Broadway, and, thoiigh it boasted sixteen stories, fell far short of the modern 'skyscrapers. The elevator man ran him up smoothly to the sixth floor, all ot. which pertained to thefirm, the na- 1 tare of whose business be did not know until he sawthe title "Sugar Brokers" on the big copper plate, and then reflected' that, of course, Sillars would ba likely to be connected with that particular trade, owing to his plantations and his big interests in it both at hone and abroad. • Arrived inside the first door and CHAPTER XXII. IN NEW YOasi. Rankine was interested in the New York street scenes as one might be interested in some moving panorama from which one was dissociated in actual experience. He was thousands of miles from the scenes of his former anxieties and poignant emotions, and had thus Lost the immediate sense of realism which had, in Scotland, and later in London, strung all his facul- ties up to the highest tension. He was passing through strange psycho- logical experiences which were not destined to end for some considerable time. His breakfast was good, but ex- pensive. It cost him two dollars and a half—rather o er v half a sovereign in English money—but he was not hard upyet,and. all the was in day front of him. He had had enough rqf , the Isaacstein establishment, how-' ever, and decided, as he allowed the black boy to brush him down in the` restaurant vestibule, that one of the first questions he would put to Find- lay Mecalister would be relative to some inexpensive but thoroughly good i quiet uiet hotel where he could d li ve and keep his self-respect He sauntered a little in the sun shine to finish the cigarette without, which no smoking man's meal is corn-, plete, and made a very striking figure on the crowded side -walks of Broad -1 way, being the very picture of a travellingeBritisher at his ease.
