wom.ln'. Hand.

The female thumb is said to be an impor-
tant index of the female character. Women
with large thumbs are held by phrenologists,
physiogr omists, etc to be more than ordin-
arily intelligent-what are called sensible
women-while women with small thumbs
are regarded romaAtic. According to GER
tain authors, who plofess to have been OBJ
servers, woman's tan1 is more indicative
of woman's character than her face, as the
latter is to a certain extent under control OF
temporary emotions, or of the will, whereas
the former is fact which exists for any one
who understands 1t to profit by. Conse-
quertly, q few hints about the proper read
il g of woman's hand may be very useful
to certain Of our readers, especially married
men, or men contemplating matrimony.
Women with square hands and thumb are
said to make good and gentle housewives.
This sort of women will make any one
happy who is fortunate enough to win them.
They are not at all romantic, but they are
what Is better thoroughly domestic.
Women with very large thumbs have a
stemper" of their own, and generally long
tongue. There is hint to the lover. Let
him, the first time he siezes hold of his
mistress hand, examine, under some pretext
or another, her thumb; and if it be large,
let him make up his mind that as soon as he
becomes married man he will have to be a
good boy, or else there will be .he very
deuce 20 pay. Again, if a young man finds
that his lady-love has a large palm with
cone-shaped fingers and small thumb, let
him thank his stars, for in that case she is
susceptible to tenderness, readily iatterea,
easily talked into, or talked out of, any

There is no one standard for food applica-
BILE to all persons, whether as to kind offood
or quantity. Our tastes are more or less
matter of education. A taste educated in
one direction revolts at taste educated in
another. Tomatoes, now almost universally
used IN this country, were rejected with
losthing generation ago.
The French, who led off in eating frog
flesh, are now eating horse .Aesh-their taste
tor the latter having been developed during
the exigencies of the siege of Paris The
English have, heretofore, turned with dis
gust from corn (maize), which is a very staff
of life in this country, and, in some of its
forms of cooking, "A delicious favorite.
1t might be well for men generally TO
have their tastes broadened. Some persons
are altogether too nice and narrow in their
preference for food. 1t should be remem
be: ed that unused functions ter d toward
complete cessation. For instance, one of the
best preservstives against consumption is In
the ability of the stomach to gest fat; but
the power to digest it may be lost by long
disuse, the glands ceasiDg to secrete the ne
cessary fluid.
So, too the quantity of food eaten by diff
ferent persons varies. One man, In good
health, too, and in the same surroundings,
would be killed by what is essential to the
health of another. A hard-worker In the
open air would starve if restricted to what
amply suffices for the man whose employ
ment is indoors and sedentary.
Life could not be sustained in the arctic
zone without immense quantities of heat
producing food. An Esquimau will eat daily
from twelve to fifteen pounds of meat, one
third of it fat He generates so much in
ternal heat that he always throws of his
coat in his hut, where the temperature
ranges from freezing down to zero, with an
outside temperature from SO0' TO 7O0 below
the latter point.

Over the cradle the mother hung,
Softly cooling slum1er song,
And these were the simple words she sung
All the evening long:
"Cheek or chin, knuckle or knee,
Where shall the baby dimple be?
Where shall the angels finger rest,
When he comes down to the baby nest?
Where shall the angels touch remain,
When he awakens my baby AGAIN.
Still as she bent and sang so low,
murmur into her music broke,
And she paused to hear, for she could but know
The baby's angel spoke
Check or chin, knuckle or knee,
Where shall the baby's dimple be?
Where shall my finger fall and rest
When come down 10 the baby's nest?
Where shall my fingers touch remain,
When / wake your babe AGAIN."
Silent the mother sat and dwelt
Long on the sweet delay of choice.
And then by her baby's side she knelt
And sang with pleasant voice:
mot on the limb, o angel dear!
For the charms with its youth will disappear;
Not on the cheek shall the dimple be,
For the harboring smile will fad and fee
But touch thou the chin with impress deep,
And my baby the angel seal shall keep"

Rheumatism is so rare in the earlier years
of life as to be hardly even mentioned bv
such writers as West and Vogel. DR.. Gar
den, in the London Practitioner, gives the
case of an infant of nine months who caught
cold from bathing in cold water. Rheuma-
tism followed, affecting the knee and ankle
joints. These were wrapped in cotton, and
three grains of salicin thrice daily we've pre-
scribed. The patient recovered in a fort
night, without showing any signs of heart
complication.

A Race Between Geese and Turkeys.

In Percy Fitzgerald's "Life of George
w." this humorous anecdote is told:
During a convivial party at the Carlton
House Mr.. Hanger dcsignedly intro
duced the subject of the travelling pow
ers of the turkey and the goose. The
Prince of Wales, who pla ed great reli
nature, backed his opinion. A match
was made with Mr.. Berkely of twenty
turkeys against twenty geese, for dis
tance of ten miles, the race to be for
81, 500; and then as Mr.. Hanger and the
turkey party hesitated not to lay two to
one in favor of their birds, the prince
did the same to considerable amount,
not in the least suspecting that the
whole was a deep-laid plan to abstract a
sum of money from his pockets. The
prince deputed Mr.. Hanger to select
twenty of the most wholesome and
high -feathered birds which could be
procured, and on the day appointed he
and his party CT turkeys, and Mr..
Berkley and his party of geese, set of
to decide the match. For the first
three hours everything seemed to indi-
cate that the turkeys would be the win
nerS, as uney were tlen uWo miles III au-
vance of the.geese; but as night came
on the turkeys began to stretch ont
their necks toward the branches of the
trees which lined the sides of the road.
In vain the prince attempted to urge
them on with his pole, to which bit OF
red cloth was attached, in vain Mr..
Hanger dislodged one from its sroosting-
place only to see three or four Others
comfortably perching among the
branches; in vain was the barley strewn
upon the road. In the meantime the
geese came waddling on, and in sholt
time passed the turkeys, whose party
were all busy among the trees attempt
ing to dislodge the birds; but further
progress was found impossible, and the
| geese were declared the winners.

Educating Horses.

Horses can be educated to the extent
of their understanding as well as chill
dren, and can be easily damaged or
ruined by bad management. 1t is be-
ieved that the great difference found in
horses as to habits of reliability comes
more from the different management of
men than from variance of natural dis
position in the animals. Horses with
mettle are more ca lily educated than
those of less or dull spirits, and are
more susceptible to ill-training, and
consequently may be good or bad, ac-
cording to the education they receive.
Horses with dull spirits are not by any
means proof against bad management,
for in them may be found the most
provoking obstinacy, vicious habits of
different character that render them
almost entirely worthless. Could the
coming generation of horses in this
country be kept from their days of colt
hood to the age of five years in the
hands of good, careful managers, there
would be seen vast difference in the
general character of the noble animals
If a colt is never allowed to get an
advantage, it will never know that it
possesses power that man cannot con-
troll, and if made familiar with strange
oh. .ects it will not be skittish and ner-
vous. If horse is made accustomed
from his early days to have objects hit
on his heels, back and hips, he will pay
no attention to the giving out of har-
ness OF of wagon running against him
at an unexpected moment. A gun can
be fired from the back of horse, an
umbrella held over his head, a buffalo
robe thrown over his neck, a railroad
engine pass close by, his heels bumped
with sticks, and the animal take it all as
a natural condition of things, if only
taught by careful management that he
will not be injured thereby. There is a
great need of improvement in the man
agement of this noble animal-,less
beating and more of education.

in rather thin slices and marinade them
that is. let them lie for an hour or
two in mixture of two tablespoonfuls
oil, one spoon vinegar and small pinch
of salt. OF course more than this must

and bake.
STEwED ToMAToEs.-Take fine ripe
tomatoes and pour over them boiling
water. in order to loosen the skins.
Slip off the skins and lay the tomatoes
in dish with little butter, salt and

about fifteen minutes. Then take them
off and turn them. Add little more
butter, and dredge over them little

milk to make a gravy; set them back
on the stove to scald about ten minutes.
FILLING FOR LAYER CAKE.-A deli
cious filling for layer cake is made in
this way: Take cup of white sugar,
put it into a tin basin with enough
water to dissolve it, let it boil until it
will harden in cold water, have cupful
of stoned and chopped raisins ready,
then beat the white of one egg into a
stiff froth, put with the raisins into the
boiling sugar, stir briskly, and while
warm put it between the layers of cake,
which should be all ready, having been
taken out of the tins and laid on a cloth,
so that you may easily select one which
is nicely Drowned for the bottom of the
cake, and another very smooth one for
the top.
