Right aud Left Hands.

some infants and iliolss counterparts

sons have hands alike, ana Just as cer-
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. It
requires no expert to detect the varia-
tons. Any pair of hands will exhibit
marked differences, which will, when
pointed out, he readily recognized by
one of ordinary perception.
Usually the hands differ in size-fre-
quently Offering in length and thick
ness. and in firmness and color The
fingers are o+ten-generally-of differ
ent comparative lengths, and exhibit
also other diver2 ent pecularities. 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 tho 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 peculiarities.
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
ing, and the progress made in the mod
ification of the original possibilities in
to actual character.
In the case of s'left-handed'' people
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 the
father as to physical form, and is like
the mother in mental and moral endow-
,ments. The right hand being the
clearer and fairer, shows that the in
dividual resembles the father in ply
sique, temper and mind; this resemblance
increases as the right hand is fairer and
clearer than the lett. The left hand ex-
hibiting the fairer lines declares the
person to be like the mother physically,
mentally and morally, the more SO as
the left hand is manifestly clearer than
the right.-R. a. Campbell, IN 81. Louis
Republican.
