reading of character by hands, I could not help noticing the difference be- tween his hand and that of my right full master. This mans hand was shapely, well knit, the hand of gen. tleman bred, but the palm was lean and spare, the fingers slender and with almost square tips and the nails, which were allowed to grow long, of a blue- black color. There was little of warmth in his clasp and at every move Icould feel the nervous twitch- ing of the cords. The great veins were larger than is usual and seemed to have absorbed all the smaller ones, for of these I could not discover one. Twas quite sure that the hand was not that of good man, but belonged to 8 cold and scheming one. One who
 would risk his life for his own pleas ure or profit but keep back even a penny from starving brother. My surmises proved to be correct. He was gambler" At this point the little black figure with it's slender limbs and tattered covering grew ex- cited and flung its half bare and dis

families of the vegetable kingdom, and also other fungi; on living animals, vertebrate and invertebrate; on their dead bodies and on excrement; in stag nant waters and in the sea, on piles and rocks. Others prefer marshes, turf-bogs, heathy ground, dunes, caves and holes, or even places completely covered with soil, as is the case with truffles. Others, again, grow upon stones, walls and rocks; in the open air or in ruins; or, like Toaula con- giuttnGta and Himdntio celtoyia. in the darkest caves, where they form a species of felt work, which in the course of few years overspreads the walls of cellars. Other fungi inhabit our houses, attack our food, clothes, utensils of every kind, wall papers and books, linen and even our toilet sponges, and may even be found on the most powerful chemical sub- stances. Other fungi attack the diff ferent parts of animals, including man.

feeling he was almost instantly for gotten. He now arose and came quickly across the room to where I lay. His movements were smooth and gliding, like those of we'll bred animal, and very graceful. He bent forward and picked me up, glancing stealthily round, meanwhile. The in. stant his fingers touched me felt a sudden chill through all my frame. He seemed to recognize it, too, for he regarded me curiously for moment. He then put me carelessly under his arm and left the hotel. Oh! how I longed for speech; to cry out; to tell the world I was being carried away by thief. But speech was then denied me and he escaped un- noticed.

Throwing Dice On An Altar.
London Standard,

A curious custom was yesterday observed in the parish church of St. Ives, Hunts. Dr. Robert Wilde, who died in August, 1878, bequeathed 50 pounds ($25O), the yearly interest of which was to be expended in the pur- chase of six bibles, not exceeding the price of one dollar and eighty. seven cents each, which should be least for by dice" on the common table every year by six boys and six girls of the town. A piece of ground was bought with the fifty pounds, and it is now known as "Bible Orchard" The leg acy also provided for the payment of ten shillings yearly to the vicar for preaching sermon on the occaeion, commenting the excellency, the per- lection and divine authority of the holy scriptures"
 This singular custom has been regu- larly observed ill the church since the death of the testator, but representa- tlons having been made to the bishop of the diocese, the practice of throw the dice on the communion table was discontinued some years ago, and the railing now takes place on a table erected at the chancel steps. The highest throw this year, three times with three dice, was thirty-seven, by little girl. The vicar, the Rev. E. Iottenham, preached sermon from the words, "From child thou hast Known the holy scriptures"

down the DOOk, and allowing my head to sink among the cushions, fell to speculating on the fallacies of the world in general and the yearly nov ing craze, with which our American women seem to be generally afflicted, in particular. Directly there came tap, tap, tapping sound down the hall, the door swung open noiselessly, and with peculiar sliding hop, there en- tered an old, worn and dismsntled um- brella, which, that morning, had found in closet and flung into the lumber loft. Advancing to the center of the room, it bowed slightly, and said:
 "I am not the most attractive look ing representative of my tribe, now, am IF"
 Surprise kept me silent.
 "I know lam disgracefully shabby" 1t continued, "but come of respect able stock, and have seen the day when no one was ashamed of my com pany."
 It had squeaky, thin voice, and its faded and tattered covering hung about its broken ribs in way suggestive of those poor, broken-down creatures that finger among the star ing tenements of our cities, asking aims of the more respectable whom chance throws in their way.
 "If you've no objections, I'll take a lean on this book-case," it continued facetiously, and with waggish air it hopped across the room, and, throw ing out broken rib, made an selbow' of it, and dropping another to the floor, took sort of a "cross- -legged'' attitude and stood gazing at me quiz zically.
 "Who or what are you?" I ques- tioned, assuming composure I did not feel.
 "Only the worn out umbrella that you so unceremoniously threw into the lumber-room this morning." an- swered the strange figure. "Ah, sir,s it continued, solemnly, "you would not be so nasty or inconsiderate of my feelings, am sure, if you knew my history. Perhaps you would like to know something of it."
 It dropped the elbowed rib to its side, crossed it with another behind its back, and leaning lazily against the case, awaited my reply.
 "Go on," I cried, interested in spite of myself.
 "I have had 8 great many ups and downs in my life," it continued, and then 1t laughed a cracked, weird laugh that chilled my blood. "You would not believe, to look at me now that l was once one of the neatest nobbiest and best-rigged umbrellas il the city. Nevertheless, such is ths case.

ELECTION DISTRICTS
AS Subdivided Will Expedite
BaliotinG,

The special committee of the CITY
council appointed to subdivide the cleo
ton districts of the city met yesterday
afternoon in the council chamber.
There were also present Stanford Newell
and Corporation Attorney Murray,
who took an active part in the proceed
1ngS. Mr.. Newell has taken a good
OF interest in the matter, and had amap
Of the city marked off in the manner
proposed for the redivision. The cor
pOration attorney had duplicate pre-
pared according TO the idea of the sew
eral ward representatives on the COM
mlttee. Under the proposed arrange
ment there will be SiXty-four polling
places. This will make such a
splitting up of the voting that
every man can walk lesurely to
the poll on election day and as leisurely
cast his vote, The following are the
divisions of the varions wards: First
ward. six polling places; Second ward,
seven; Third ward, four; Fourth ward,
six: Fifth ward, eight; Sixth ward,
eight; Seventh ward, five; Eighth ward,
eight; Ninth ward, seven: Tenth ward,
two; Eleventh ward, three 1t was I'M
possible TO get the boundaries of the va
riouS polling districts, as they were
simply delineated on map and will be
prepared by Stanford Newell and
presented to the council at its next
meeting. Changes will be required in
the law, in order to make it conform
with the statute of the legislature di-
viding the city into the different sec
tions entitled to elect state representa-
yves and senators.
