What Your Hand Means.

4 soft hand, said Mr.. HerOn-Allen, IN
his lecture, indicated feryent but tickle
lover, while hard hand denoted . long
enduring, though possibly smoldsring,
love. A spatula hand, wherein the tips OF
the fingers were broad and the tops fiat,
denoted Inconsistency desire for change and
love of locomotiOn. II was found in
jockeys and colOnists. A hand with
conically tipped fingers indicated inspira-
ton, instinct, Bohemian!sm and gener-
Osity.
A hand with squarely built finger tips
showed order and arrangement, particu-
larly when the joints throughout were
prominent. A scientific hand was irregu-
lar TO a marked degree, the joints lumpy
and highly developed-sltogether a NAL
formed conglomeration of knots and
twists. This sort Of hand is invariably
small, while the analytic han1 is large
The hand OF the idealist is the most sym
metrical of all and the most useless in
every sense.
A supple hand indicates generosity
4 hand the fingers of which when placed
together and held 20 the light exhibit
transparency, and between which no rays
of light penetrate, shows avRrice, or, in
other words, closeness. Fingers which
submitted TO the same test will not fit
alongside each other without openings
and which are denser, indicate curiosity
and loquacity. People with hands that
are always white are egotistical and have
no sympathy.-NewY York Sun.

"Th. Devil and the Deep Sea"

The old story Of the poor soul who was
caught between The devil and the deep
sea, gets a new illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria. The
story is soon told: My daughter" said a
lady, had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was all the time out OF
health-poor appetite, disordered digestion,
pale earthly color, pain in the head, limbs
and back, and every now and then right
hard chill, followed by fever. Then we
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe Quinine, just as he did from the
irst-and so kept doing all along the
name Of quinine sounds like the tolling of
the bell. Clearly between the two, her
health was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
and the deep sea- Sometimes the name Is
varied, and it is called some other inc in
place OF quinine, but it is all the same-the
old firm with a new sign. In this dilems a
lady friend said: Why not try Humph-
rey's Homeopathic Specifics, Nos. Ten and
Sixteen tried them. They were a sue
cess from the first and not only cured the
malaria, but restored her to perfect health,
and left no trace Of disease or drug pois-

That ancient story anent Alexander T.
Stewart and the old apple woman, whom
he is said to have allowed to keep her stand
in front of his store for the luck he believed
she brought him, has been revived since
Mrs. Stewards death, and is once more cir
culating through the press. Old New York
eTs declare there is not a particle Of truth
in the story beyond the fact that he did
permit an old wOman-she was probably IS
to sit before his store at Broadway and
Chambers street. through pity for her
poverty She is reported to have had only
a basket containing a few apples, which
hardly any one ever bought. She was con
sidcred an object of charity, and the ladies.
who then patroDized Stewart most liberally,
were in the habit Of dropping small change
into her basket, as they pasesd in or out.
She must have received several dollars
daily in that way.
Ere long the rumor gained currency that
the merchant, who was never popular, di-
vided with the old woman, taking half her
money for his rent Of the sidewalk. Alb
surd as this was some persons credited it.
for he had the reputation of a very hard,
exacting man; and the result was that he
compelled her removal That was more
thsn thiry-fi years ago; so that if she
had lived almost to the time of his death,
she would have been 800 years old. The
story, albeit destitute of plausibility, is just
the sort Of thing that foolish people will
believe. A. 7. Stewart may have had his
superstitions, but the old apple woman was
not one of them. 1t is pleasant, however,
TO remember that he actually had for a
while compassion for an unfortunate human
creature whom he had no interest in ba-
friending. Such instances were none too
common in his life-New York CONNER

COATES KINNEY.

The New York Sun devotes an editorial.
which is quite complimentary, to Mr..
Blaine's speech, delivered before the Con
gregatiOnal club at Boston. The closing
paragraphs are given below:
That is. Mr.. Blaine believes that the only
way to convert the world and bring men to
obedience to the doctrines of Christ is to
preach genuine Christianity with zeal and
force, and to pay heed TO its essence rather
than TO the controversies of theOlogians con-
corning system built up on it. At least so
we interpret his words.
He therefore prOclaims himself as mem
Der of the church which includes all the fol-
lowers of Christ in truth and in spirit, and
not as the partisan Of any particular division
thereof. This should make him neither a
Protestant nor a Catholic, but the ally of
both.
That is a very wide and comprehensive
theology, and it cannot be denied that it
has a basis in the teaching of Christ, nor
that it is theology well adapted 10 the
purposes and necessities of politician and
political leader.

JEANNE'S SMILE.

A young man and fair young girl
were sitting in the Park Monceau talk
ing in the shade.
You say you have found me very nice;
well that is all right, but afterward"-
well, afterward, my dear Jeanne,
what else could | think except that |
love you and you will return my
love''-
That Is all very well, =" she inter
rupted; but SO far have lived an honest
girl and intend to continue 50.
All this was said with the utmost good
humor and good faith, without the least
prudery or affeCtation and with smile
that disclosed the most adorable teeth.
Antoine-I have not yet told you his
name-was the neighbor of Jeanne. He
was very much in love with her, which
was not astonishing, as she was very at
tractive, with the most irresistible smile
and teeth so beautiful, indeed, that An
tOine had never forgotten them since the
first frugal breakfast when he had seen
the young girl biting peach. At the
same time | am obliged to say that he
had ever thought of marrying her, for he
was somewhat ambitious, young, indie
pendent and counted upon marriage In
the future accompanied by a good round
dot, which Jeanne could not bring him.
She was fine workwOmau, earning good
wages in fashionable store, but nothing
more.
After the interview which have re-
lated Antoine, although always obliging
and amiable, became more reserved in his
intercourse with the young girl. Both Of
them, in fact, held themselves on the de-
fensive; she did not appear to wish to
marry any morethan he, so they remained
simply good friends.
One day. however, she announced TO him
that she was going to leave Paris. She
had a brother who had long been estab-
lished i'll America and he wished her 10
come out and join him. Antoine was
somewhat annoyed at this intelligence,
as he had become SO accustomed to their
Sunday talks.
When the day Of departure came he ac-
companied her to the railroad station and
then returned, not without feeling of
regret, though at the same time he took
her departure very coolly, saying to him
self: Perhaps il is all for the best" that
little romance begun like this rarely
had a serious denouement.
But one never knows when he is really
involved, and he consoled himself for the
past Dy dreaming OF the IuUure. NeNer-
theless, he could not so easily forget his
first fancy.
More than year had passed since the
departure Of Jeanne, and her old neigh
bor thought he was on the point of sue
cess, for he had been introduced into an
honorable family, authorized to pay his
court 10 the daughter Of the house. She
was dark and did not resemble Jeanne in
the least However, "a TO that, he had
not thought of il or dreamed of making
the comparison, the past seemed 50 far
away.
This was the way matters stood when
| one fine morning he stopped astounded
before a wall on which was stuck a great
beautiful bill, upon which good
draughtsman had drawn the charming
head Of young girl with an enchanting
smile and exquisite pearly teeth. 1t was
the head of Jeanne--there could be no
doubt of it-snd above 1t in great red
letters one could read:

That railway companies are often arbi-
trary and oppressive toward their men,
cannot be doubted. They are so toward the
the custom which enriches them. There
are railroad managers who have hearts and
conscienees. of this sort WAS the late Mr..
Devereaux, of the Bee Line road, and
another man of the kind is Chauncey NJ.
Depew, of the New York Central. But
there are other managers who seem to have
neither hearts nor eonscienees, but who are
little less than intelligent, sharp, grinding,
bulldozing brutes. OF this sort appear to
be certain railroad managers in Chicago,
who are discriminating against an organ
izatiOn of workingmen who are making a
test of the principle of cooperation. This
organization is composed of Knights of
Labor, and they have bought and are
operating two coal mines IN Illinois, and
when the coal pool put up prices, recently,
the Knights secured six hundred customers
among Chicago business irms, and agreed
20 supply them with coal at from 81 to ST. so
per ton less than the regular rates But
now tine railroads step in and refuse to
carry their coal. even at higher than usual
rates. One company will carry a single car a
day. and another on whose line enc of the
mines is. refuses TO carry any. Now this is
an outrage and it ought TO be resented by
the people of the country. Cooperation is
one of the most hopeful remedies for the
labor troubles Of the day and when body
OF workingmen are willing to take the risk
and hard work of making a practical ex-
pertinent in that direction. and by so doing
relieving the public from the extortion of
coal monopolies, these wOrkingmen should
have the sympathy aud cooperation of the
people. This is statement intended for
general application, everywhere. Certainly,
they should be protected from unjust dis
elimination. for this discrimination operates
against their customers as well as them
