another case which involved inquiries at the

that the prisoner has been long seeking his
reloase but has failed, owing to the negli-
gence Of his jailors. Last spring he man
aged to escape from the asylum, but was
recaptured by the villagers Henrietta

asylum through the efforts of Mr.. Leonard
on the order of Judge Brown, says that
while she was in the asylum she saw Mr.
Richards there, and always saw him he
have like an intelligent gentleman Mr..
Leonard "a Us that he has other testimony
that Mr.. Richards has been treated terribly
fed poorly, prevented from communicating
with his friends, and kept from the enjoy
ment OF his property, estimated at S35 600,
and consisting chiefly of real estate in Phila-
delphia. He also says he is informed that
Mr. Richards was enticed to the asylum on
false pretenses and Iept there without
warrant.

The first difference noted in hands is
that they are right and LETT and that
they are not Except in the hands of
some infants and idiots) counterparts
one of the other 1t is well known that
no two faces are alike, that no single
face is so perfectly balanced that one
side is an exact duplicate of the other
side. 1t is Just as true that no two per-
sons have hands alike. and Just as GER
tain that no pair OF hands are exact du-
plicates. The differences TO be found
in that pair of hands which are most
alike are neither few nor doubtful. 1t
requires no expert TO detect the varia-
tions. Any pair of hands will exhibit
marked differences, which will, when
pointed out, be readily recognized by
one of ordinary perception.
Usually the hands differ in sizc-fre-
quently differing in length and thick
ness, and in tirmness and color. The
fingers are often-generally-of differ
ent comparative lengths, and exhibit
also other divergent peculiarities, which
will be readily noticed by any one who
reads and remembers what we shall
have to say about fingers further on .
A very slight examination of any
| pair Of hands will show that the princi-
pal lines even are not exactly alike in
the right and left hands. A careful ex-
| animation will usually show that no
single line in one hand is exactly like its
| fellow in the other hand.
have frequently found two persons
| in whom the right hand of one was al
most like the right hand of the other,
and whose left hands were much alike;
but never person whose right and left
hands were counterpartS.
This difference between the hands
must be carefully noted, and the extent
and meaning of the variation kept con
stantly in mind while reading the per-
sonal peculiaritics.
The left hand indexes the persons
natural emotions, intellectual peculiar
tiles and physical status.
The right hand points out the direc-
ton in which the individual is develop
inc, and the progress made in the mod
iiication of the original possibilities in
to actual character.

this rule is reversed. In short, the
passive hand exhibits the inherited cap
ital of affection, thought and action,
while the active hand indexes the char
acter as developed
The Astral palmists tell us that if the
lines are alike fair in both hands, they
show that the person resembles tho
father as to physical form, and is like
the mother in mental and moral endow-
mcntS. The right hand being the
clearer and fairer, shows that the in
diyidual resembles the father in ply
siquc, temper and mind; this rcsemblanc,
increases rs the right hand is faircr ant
clearer than the lett The left hand ex
hIbiting the fairer lines declares The
person to be like the mother physically

the left hand is manifcstly clearer thar

More Grain from Less Land.

Two or three years ago a farmer
sowed oats on a ffteen-acre field, put
in the crop rather poorly, without
fertilizers, and as result harvested
only $40 bushels of grain. The next
season tenant worked this land, the
farmer having become discouraged or
unable to keep up farming any long
er. The tenant, who was a wide
awake farmer, plowed part of this
same lot in the fall, and the following
spring narrowed the surface and
drilled in the oats, putting at the
same time $50 pounds of phosphate
per acre with the grain. He har-
vested 535 bushels of grain, or very
nearly ninety bushels per acre. The
increased amount of straw paid most
of the extra expense in cultivating
and manuring. Yet oats are crop
that many farmers think will bear
neglect better than any others GU
tiUQtOr.
