Our house presents five front door
bells to correspond with the respective
flats. The bell rings, the servant moves
a pump-like handle which communicates
with the front door, and thus the visitor
is admitted. The New York fashion of
telling your name and crrand through .
speaking tube before entering has not
reached Stuttgart.
The largest room in the fiat is at once
dining-room and parlor, and contains
three lovely pieces Of furniture that are
genuine anti lues-a writing desk, clock
and sideboard. The floors arc all waxen
or painted, with immense rugs in the
center. The dining room wall is pref
tily papercd. The pictures are all
watcr-color landscapes Of German seen

Two large bookcases contain tho
worksof Goethe, Schiller, Lessing, Hum
boldt, Shakespeare and many Of the
minor poets. In one corner there is an
immense white porcelain st0ye, the
crowning ornament Of which is lava

and stands of plants at each window,
and handsome portieres at tho doors.

According to the best accepted theo.
ries Of the palmistcrs, al the earth and
terrestrial beings are surrounded BY an
imponderable and mysterious fluid
which presents four different NANTES.
tations-light, heat, electricity and
magnetism. Sometimes men have sue.
ceeded in directing this fluid and cm.
ploying il in various useful ways, but
Of its origin nothing is or can
bc known, save that it issues
from the stars and returns thither
when its work is done. That this fluid
exerts some influence on the world and
its affairs is sufficiently proved BY the
fact that the earth is entirely dependent
on tho light and heat Of the sun for the
existence and continuance of animal
and vegetable life, and that tho ebb and
now Of tho earth's tides and the c0ntinu-
AnCe Of various other phenomena on
the earth are due to the Influence Of the
moon. II the influence Of the moon
and sun Be such, there can be no reason
to doubt that tho great planets will also
show their power, though perhaps their
influences may not he 90 directly oh.
seryable as in the cases already men
toned.
Tho existence and influence Of the
astral aIid being conceded, the next
step = to ascertain what is the specific
effect produced BY this fluid on human
beings, upon what part of the human
system is this effect made manifest, and
what traces does it leave OF its passage.
In answer to these questions the author
declares that the hands are the instru-
ments Of the souls life, are the chief
seats Of sensation, and consequently ero
the most prgminant centers Of activity
Of the astral fluid. The hands indicate,
BY their mounts and lines, the degree
and amount Of absorption Of the astral
fluid Of which each individual is capa-
bic, Aud tho ceaseless passage of this
fluid leaves its traces, thus recording
the events Of life as intelligibly, to those
who can read this peculiar language, as
if it were written i'll letters of fire.
In regard to tho lines Of the hand, 1t
y sometimes suggested by unbelievers
that these are caused by opening and
closing the hand, or BY labor. But that
Is not the case, as is sufficiently proven
BY the fact that intelligent men, and in
telligent women, who have never done
2 days work with their hands in their
lives, often have their hands strongly
marked With lines, while day laborers,
who know nothing but toll, and have
always used their hands have, as rule,
very few lines in their palms
