Fingers and Thumbs.

"Beware of the person whose fingers
turn backward. He is unjust, subtle,
ingenious, and the neater his fingers
seem to be the more mischievous is he
and an enemy to virtue"
Fingers which cling to each other de-
note changeable character.
Long and large fingers betoken liber-
atty, true friendship, good condition.
Abraham Lincoln had these.
Fingers too short, with thick ends and
fat, will be dishonest and sly.
Fingers that stand apart from each
other, poverty, wretchedness, and much
talk about self.
Nerveless fingers denote a want of
character, trembling, twitching fingers
a drunkard.
small taper fingers, on a woman, show
indecision of character, daintiness, and
deceit. If the nails are oblique, want of
courage.
a large, well-made hand inclines to
generous, unselfsh disposition.
Little round nails mean obstinacy and
anger and violent love.
Long, pure white nails, especially on
woman's hand are an indication of a de-
ceitful nature, with great strength and
cruel, crafty love.
Red nails signify cruelty, desperate
love. Spots on the edge of nails, violent
death.
''The thumb, " says Newton sis to me
a convincing proaf of Immortality.
Without it the hand is almost useless.
The only animal that has a thumb is the
ape, but it is an imperfect member, and
does not assist the animal to a more in
telligent use of its hand or paw. Roman
slaves used TO cut off their thumbs be-
cause they lacked the courage to 90 to
war, and were considered with abhor-
renee. Infants, while very young. and
idiots, who cannot control thought, have
no use of their thumbs, and keep them
clasped loosely in the clenched hand.
In the language of the hand an authority
says:
''People with large hands can produce
results unnatural to them easier than
those with small; for example. large
thumbed mechanician may bring himself
to write poetry, but small thumbed
poet can never become practical calcu-
lator. n-DetrOH Free Press.

Japan in Miniature.

One of the schools in the royal univer
6ity at Toxic is held in building so
CONSTRUCTED that three sides or wings OF
the structure inclose large court. This
space is carefully leveled, and covered
with white sand, and in this sand is a
|map of Japan, laid out with the utmost
mathematical accuracy as regards dis
Itances and directions. The sand repre-
|sents of course, the seas which surround
he empire of islands; and the loan which
represents the land is diversified with
|hillocks and elevations to represent
mountains and table lands, and CORE
|tponding depressions for valleys. The
location of cities is distinctly marked,
bays and CULTS are seen and all the little
fnferior islands are shown in the proper
proportion of their size and distance
from the main island. But most striking
|of all is the fact that little channels are
marked in the earth to represent rivers,
hnd when it rains water actually flows in
these little streams from the highlands to
he ocean of sand, precisely as it does in
the larger streams they initiate. The
Student can thus see at glance all the
superficial physical features of his coun-
FRY, can locate water sheds and courses,
trace the extent of mountain ranges, and
Visit distant cities, with less stretching
|Df the imagination than is required Of

HEALTH HINTS.

The water that has no taste is purest
the air that has no odor is the freshest,
and of all notifications of manner the
most generally pleasing is simplicity.
A solution of gutta-percha in chloro-
form -four to thirty is useful to protect
the skin over projecting bones, and to
prevent bed-sores in wasting diseases.
The idea is gaining ground, and the
London Lancet favors it, that it is Just as
sensible to knock a man down who needs
rest, as to give him narcotics because he
needs sleep.
For pimples wash the face in a solu-
ton of carbolic acid, allowing a tea
spoonful to a pint OF water. This is an
excellent and purifying lotion, and NAV
be used on the most delicate skin. Be
careful about letting the wash get in the
eyes, as it will weaken them.
A piece of borax the size of pea
dissolved in the mouth some ten minutes
before speaking or singing strengthens
the voice. Five grains of potassium
lodide taken in warn solution before
going to bed the previous night helps
the voice when extra effort is required.
Heath and Home.
The beneficial effect of the atmosphere
of pine forests upon pulmonary disor-
ders has long been known, and at some
of the watering places in Germany, it is
said, the very simple prescription of the
physician is that the patient shall spend
several hours day walking or riding
through the pine wood. This treat
ment is sometimes supplemented by the
taking of pine baths.

Birds Calming the Sea.

A Fiji correspondent writes to an Eng.

he South Sea islands, l have passed
hocks of birds, principally terms and
whale birds, resting in vast numbers on
he sea. 1t is remarkable that, however
Tough the sea may be at the time, yet
where the birds rest there is not a ripple
TO disturb them. This must be caused
py oil, but whether it is purposely depos-
tied by the birds with the intention OF
huicting the water, or whether they do

answer Of which, think, would interest
