Signs OF the Hands.

4 LITTLE work on Modern Palmistry"
hrings together large amount of anus
ing gossip. but we cannot say how much
you must believe Of it. The person who
will carefully study the wrinkles, burrows,
lines and hollows on the hands, will be
able to tell fortunes as well as any mod.
crn gypsy.
If the palm of the hand be long, and
the fingers well proportional, etc, not
soft, but rather hard, it denotes the per-
son to be ingenious, changeable, and given
to theft and vice.
Ii the hands be hollow, solid, and well
knit in the Joints, it predicts long life,
hut if overthwartcd then it denotes short
life.
Observe the finger of Mercury-that is,
the little finger; if the end of it exceeds the
joint Of the ring finger, such n man will rule
in his own house, and his wife will be pleas
ing and obedient to him; but il it be
short and docs not reach The Joint, he Will
have shrew, and she will be boss

The 4" Magic Eraser"

Chicago papers, of 4 recent date, state
selling a preparation called the magic
eraser---a solution of chloride of lime,
which is USED To remove ink marks from
paper However useful this article may
bc for some purposes, it has proven a dan
gerOus one, as rascaS have of late begun
To avail themselves of its erasing proper
ties To change checks and other CONNER
cial papers with fraudulent intent. In
New York and other Eastern cities very
bold operations of this kind have been
successfully conducted, and bankers have
become 50 much much alarmed that checks
and drafts are scgutinized with the great
est care, and payment is refused unless
parties presenting them are known at the
bank. 1t is said that the fluid will not
erase Lae ink, and Chicago bankers are
therefore instructing their customers to
use this color only in filling up CONNER
cial psper A writer in the Chicago
1IiJune says "To detect whether bank
checks, notes, drafts, or papers of any
kind have been altered or tampcred with
by the use of the "magic fluid," hold the
suspected paper over the flame OF IA gas
Jet, being careful not To scurch or burn it,
and if any fluid has been applied To tire
paper, the place where it has been put will
speedily become discolored, and turn de
cided broaon color. Frequently the writ
ing or figures which have been erased by
the fluid will reappear, family, on such
application of heat"

POETRY.
WITCHES IN THE CREAM

fHRersB all the long, long winters day,
And half the dreary night,
We churned, and yet no butter came;
The cream looked thin and white.
Next morning, with our hopes renewed,
The task began again:
We churned and churnsd till back and arms
And head did ache with pain.
The cream rose up, then sinking fell.
Grew thick, and then grew thin:
Ii splashed and sPattered in our eyes,
On Clothes and nose and chin.
We churned it fast and churned it slow.
And stirred IT round and round
Yet all the liveloDg weary day
Was heard the dashers sound.
The sun sank in the gloomy west,
The moon rose CHASTITY pale:
And -till we churned with courage Io.v
And hopes about TO fail;
When IL walked Granny Dean, who heard.
With wonder and ama1e
Our troubles As she crossed herself
And IN the fire did gaze,
= Lerd help US all. - she quickly said.
And covered up her lace;
Lord help Us all. Tor a. you live,
There's witches IN the place.
There's witches here within this churn.
Ina have possessed the cream.
Go nrinS me horseshoe that saw
Hang on the cellar BEAM.
The shoe was brought. when round and round
she twirled il DER her head:
90 drive the witches from that cream
In solemn voice she said.
Then tossed it in the fire. till red
With beat il soon did turn.
And dropped il 'mong the witches dread
That hd within the churn.
Once more tho dashcr's sound was heard
have patience with my rhyme-
Fer sure enough. the butter came
In twenty minutes time.
Some say he temperature was changed
With horseshoe growing red
Bat when we ak old Granny Dean.
She Only shskes her head

THINK.-Do your own thinking. Yes,
tha' is the idea Think for yourself 1t
is well to listen to the expressed thoughts
of others, and it is an agreeable pastime
To give expression to your thoughts. But
when alone, weigh what you have heard
and traverse what you have said. IL is
well tO do this, for it will assist i'm curing
you of false notions, and of eradicating
Improbable and vicious ideas, and in time
make you better men and women. What
you thus gain from your surroundings,
you will unwittingly transmit TO the ris-
ing generation, and the result will he that
you will do your share i'm the glorious
work of clovliing the human family. DO
your own thinking

hour on a recent Sunday night. After
while their excitement was allaye,i, and
on investigation they found that a COW, ON

commenced frantic rampage about the
apartment, with the result above de-

DIsGRACEFUL SCENE IN PROTESTANT
CHURcH.-A singular scene has just oc-
Cured in the parish church of Brigg, Lin
colnshire. The services have of lato been
mixed up with Ritualistic practices, which
have given great offence to portion of the
congregation. On Easter Sunday the
morning services were preceded aud fol-
lowed by procession of choristers and
clergy through the church singing ''prOces-
sional" hymns. The practice was again
attempted recently, whereupona portion of
the congregation left their seats. In the
evening after the hymn was given out, the
choristers left their seats in n tlisorderly
manner, blocking up the means of egress.
Several persons intending to leave were
impeded 10y tho procession, and the curate,
who had lost his temper, rushed through
the choristers, pushed some ladies aside,
aud then charged an unfortunate old gentle
man, who, in turn. staggered back aud in
jured q lady. Meantime many persons
had left, but the curate then set his back
against the d"0rS and would let no one out
until the choristers had sung themselves
into the vestrys

vertically. It is found by calculation that
it could raise its own weight Is, 754 feet, or
nearly four miles, in one hour. An active
mountain climber can lift his own body at
the rate Of 1000 feet per hour, which is only
one twentieth part of the energy of the
heart. When prize was offered some
years ago for the locomotive Alp engine
that could lift its own weight through the
greatest height in one hour, it was gained
by the "Bavaria," which lifted itself PRO-
fessor Haughton says "herself," but why
locomotive should be female we don't
know through 270O feet in an hour. This
result, remarkable rs it is, reaches only
one-eighth part of the energy of the human
heart. Hence, from whatever point of view
we regard the>hnman heart, it is entitled to
be considered as the most wonderful me-
chanism with which we are acquainted.

A GENTLE HINr.-Not many miles

parlor of an old couple, spending few
hours in social chat. Time few rapidly

never staid out of bed later then that hour

ever, talked, and talked, to the old lady,
who enjoyed the conversation much,
whilst her "bigger half doxed and nodded

Finally getting his eyes fully opened, and
seeing the clock mark half past nine, he

his joys and sorrows and said: "wife

INTERESTING SCIENTIFIC Dfsc0vERY.
research has lately revealed
the fact that tubers, such as the pear,
lemon, goosebsrry, ETC., maintain regular
fluid currents, something similar to the
currents Of trees. In the potato, the cur
rent is found TO be passing from tho center
to the circumference; while ia the pear,
lemon and gooseberry, the, current is from
the outside to the center. Examinations
have also been made upon flowers and
leaves, as rhubarb, peonies, dock, water
cress, grasses, oak leaves, etc. These ex-
amiuations are, still in progress, and the
investigator remarks that his experiments,
are enough to set one thinking, but that
it would BE- premature TO reason upon them
at present." ads ID ~. a. oafo9
