About Thumbs.

We suppose that all our readers know
that man would not be what he is with.
out the thumb This little fact has
been so impressed upon US from our
school days that we are not likely to
forget it. Without the thumb for a
lever, we would be unable to hold any
thing tightly, and most Of the inVen
tons of our era would be useless, not
to speak of the enormous general pow.
er that would be lost. Let US accept
the fact of having thumbs, then and be
thankful and rejoice over our Darwinian
friends, the apes We did not know, how
ever, until we saw it in print yesterday,
that the thumb represented intelligence
and affection. Born idiots frequently
come into the world without thumbs
Infants, until they arrive at an age
when intellect dawns, constantly keep.
ing their fingers folded above .heir
thumbs hut they soon know better, and,
as the mind develops, recognize the
dignity ard usefulness Of the desp;sed
digit, At the approach Of death the
thumbs of the dying, as if impelled by
some vague fear, seek refuge under the
fingers, and, when thus found, are an
almost certain announcement of the
end. Sc, in leaving this world,it would
seem that our hands in their last desire
for movement assume, with cur grow
ing Inconsistencies the same sugges
tive position in which the hands OF the
new born babe, with faculties all DOR
mant, first shape themselves. Small
thumbs denote an affectionate DISPOSE
zion; long thumbs 60 with long heads
short, thick, STUDY thumbs mark crue
man, and much mere is told us of thu
same kind Baltimore Gazette.
