PALMISTRY. -.
rsli.Tale Lines and shapes.
The principal lines OF the hand are
easily remembered: The life line,
which runs round the base OF the
thumb: the line of the head, which be-
Gins alongside of the line Of life (some-
times Joining it,, and crossing the md
die Of the palm; and the line ot".he
heart. which goes from one side OF the
hand to the other at the base OF the
fingers. II the line Of life is OF rudy
color, long and unbroken, extending
nearly or quite down the wrist line: ~
foretells good health and long life: II II
be broken in any point it denotes severe
sickness; if short, early death; II
double; it shows remarkable strength
and vitality. The lines encircling the
wrist number the years of life, one line
marking thirty years.
If character like the sun occurs on
the life line, it denotes loss OF an eye
or blindness; and each cross or knot
means some misfortune or difficulty,
great or small according to the size OF
the mark. The little lines are the
lesser cares and troubles. Wavy lines
in the ends of the fingers or elsewhere,
foretell death by drowning. A crescent
shaped mark below the little finger and
below the line of the heart denotes in
sanity. A well-defined short line join
ing the life line indicates marriage. It
no such line appears, the person will
remain single, unless there be short
line or lines on the side of the hand be-
low the little finger, as these also denote
the number of times married. The lines
extending down between e third or
ring finger and the little finger to the
line Of the heart, number the loves of a
lifetime. If but single line is visible,
and that is deep and clear, the person
will love faithfully and warmly. A long
and well-defned line of the head pom
ises intellectual power, but it may he
too long; as, if it extends quite to the
edge of the hand it indicates too much
calculation, craft, meanness. 1t should
end under the third finger or there
abouts. If it is forked or double toward
the end it denot. deception and double
dealing, though, in hard otherwise
good, it may mean only extreme retic-
ence or shyness. When this line is
very short and faint it shows stupidity,
foolishness.
II the line Of tie heart is long, ex-
tending from the edge of the hand be-
low the title finger up between the
first and second fingers, it indicates an
affectionate disposition, and, also prom
ises we'll for the happiness of the pos
SCISSOR. II it sends down short lines
toward the head line, it shows that af-
lection must be founded upon respect !;
but if these small lines go upward, love
is more pass on and impulse. When
the line Of the heart is broken, it de-
notes inconsistency. But Judgment
must not he formed from any one app
pearance or line OF the hand, and there
are many things to be considered.
We should look in the left hand
chiefly for honors, riches, loves and
misfortunes, and in the right for what
ever pertains to health and length of
days. All lines, if pale and wid', tell
the absence of the quality attributed to
that line, or the existence of the other
quality. For instance, u pale, wide line
of the heart indicates GOODNESS or even
cruelty. When the lines OF the left
hand are clearest and ruddiest it pos
SCISSOR resembles its mother, both men,
tally and physically.
In the practice of the art Of palmistry
some knowledge OF physioguomy Is OF
great advantage; indeed, the two
sciences go hand in hand, one supple
menting the other. Thi; is why the
shrewd gypsy fortune.teller scans the
face almost more closely than the hand
OF her patron. A few set rules in re-
gard to the features and characteristics
OF the human r..ce may we'll be added
in this connection.
And first of all, the soul dwells in
the eye and the abil ty to understand it's
language is Unborn with most reople
without having to study it; but a few
words in regard to it may not be.amiss.
Very quiet eyes that impress and en-
barrass one with their great relose sig
nifty self-command, hut also great COM
placency and deceit. Eyes that rove
Mther and thither while the possessor
speaks d notes tlcceitful, designing
mind. Eyes in which the white has a
yellowisli tinge, and is st, eaked with
reddish veins denote strong passions.
Very blue eyes besp>ak mini inclined
to co4u try; gray eyes signifY intelli-
gence; greenish, FALSE hood and liking
Tor scandal; black eyes, a passio nate,
lively temperament; and brown, kind,
happy disposition.

an enterprising, business-like ch racter

tradict it; q 9aez retr0usse signifies q
