THE HAND.

| Neatness IL the first consideration
which makes hand attractive. No mat
ter how long boby, or large joint,d nnt
unshapely. II it is clean, and the finger.
nails properly cared for, q hand eau newell
look disgusting.
A soft, warm, pliable hand has great
power aud fac,nation. There Ia q charac.
ter in a large hand, many times far
greater than a tiny one. A hand CORES.
ponding in size to the rest Ut the body, /.
much finer than the little fat. dim pied
hands, So many are proud " possess, and
others envy the Possession. 1t Is equally
as nonsensical to squeeze the hands into
gloves size too small, as to pinch the
feet for tight boots
A small nose is considered Insignificant
while large one is said to indicate no.
bility Of character. Why not the same
with hands and feet? II, with charges Of
time the idea should prevail that small
noses only were fine, while large ones
were something to hide, and Of which TO
be ashamed, would not the vanity Of hu.
manity attempt to reduce the propagation
OF that member by lacing, or inserting in
a close net? 1t would be equally rs sen.
sible rs stopping the circulation Of the
blood in the other portions of the body.
A white, 4exible hand 10 desirable, but
not ut the sacrifice Of duty. Many n
hard, rough hand has done enough good
in the world to look beautiful In the eyes
Of the appr-cistive. Girls who shirk all
tho house work, making dru1ges Of their
mothers rather than coil their dainty.
white hands, need not expect to be loved
by those who know it. The cnllous
places and other signs of labor would be
far more to their credit.
The best hand in the world 10 an honest
hand. be It hard or soft, white or brown,
smooth or rough. angular or shspaly. an
honest palm that takes the hand Of a
friend with VAIN, hearty grasp, as IL
nothing IN the heart ~ conceal, only
warmth and kindness towords ALL. This
is the best and most beautiful hand in
tho world.

THE DEVIL IN THE HOUSE.

Geo. Hickenlooper, Washington cor
respondent OF the Abba Uuion, tells the
following story:
Il singular story 10 now aHost in regard
to the huu.e on Lafayette square in thus
city, which was occupied by Hon. VIM
Il. Seward while secretary Of state. The
house was erected by Commodore Rng-
ers, and it was reported that it was built
by prize money. 1t is said that Como.
dure Rogers died in the mad-house. The
house seems to be doomed. The next oc-
cupant was Hon John q. Spencer while
secretary of war, and who, while living in
it, received the horrible intelligence OF the
murder of his son on bosri the Somers.
1t was afterwsrd converted into club
house, and Phillip Barton Key WAS a
member of the club. Key used The upper
story of this house Ms u signal station to
notify Mrs. Sickels when he wished to
have an interview with her, and when he
was shot by Sickels he died N one Of the
lower rooms. Afterwards the house was
occupied as a residence by s.crstary Sew
ard, and 1t was here that PsyLe attempted
the famous assassination the same night
that President Lincoln was assassinated
at Ford's theatre.
Fannie Seward placed herself before
the assassin, and received such q shock
that she died from the effect.
Secretary Belknnp subsequently occu.
pied the house as a residence, and while
there his wife died. It Is said that these
are Int few Of the more prominent III.
omened events which have taken place in
connection with the house
Like Ford's theatre the building 10 now
In the possession Of the government, and Il
is reported that strange sounds are heard,
doors open and close without any visible
"gsncy, and many other my ,terious phe.
nomena occur The house stands abon, a
