Ths Feminine Craze of Having the Hand
and Arms Pictur ed.

The Feminine Craze of Having the Hands
and Arms Pictur ed.
"The craze for having the hands and
arms photographed" says a local
artist, lis rapidly growing. People
renem suddenly to have awakened to
the fact that there are almost as many
meanings in the different poses of the
hand as there are in the face. The
study of palmistry in its more general
features is no more than the study of
dramatic expression. Every one knows,
if he thinks a moment, that the hands
i~nvoluntarily assume expressions that
suit emotions just as the face does
wheF7i it is given full play; but this
idLa with neither hands nor faces has
yet been half-worked up by photog-
raphers. It can be Gne only as
rapidly as the popular notion of beauty
approaches nearer true beauty. The
usual idea of the girl who wants her
hands or arms taken now is to find the
pose suited to the sweetest possible re-
pose. Tt is intended to picture the
beauty of dreamy thoughtfulness. And
they are %tyrannical, you know. They
look at their arms or hands in the mir
ror by the hour, studying every curve,
the position of every finger, how far to
bend each knuckle, and when they
have gotten the arm and hand where
they want them the result is a picture
of studied vacancy of thought.
"a lady came in the other day with
two very original and captivating no.
tions which we proceeded to carry out.
Her arm was dressed for the picture SO
that just the bud of a sleeve was to be
seen at the shoulder. After it was
Done we fixed the broad shoulder of a
heroic-looking dummy mar in view of
the camera and on his coat placed a
conspicuous little piece of white cot
Ton thread. 1 took the picture just as
she was in the act of plucking the
string ~delicately and tenderly from the
coat-just the instant before the poised
thumb and finger closed upon it. Thus
Gou see she has the picture of a great
hnd universal dramatic SITUATION. Her
arm and fingers, instead OF being found
In the pose of supreme vanity and use
lessness are seen in the pose that be-
speaks an act of poetic usefulness.
The other idea was Numerically op-
posed to that one. We placed the
dummy man across the room toward
the door outside of the cameras range.
The lady stood SO that the full length
of her extended arm would take.
Pointing her finger at the poor dummy
sutton she said 'go!" with all the en-
phasis at q naughty, indignant maid
ems command, and just where the
emotional impulse reached a climax in
the force of the gesture I caught the
picture of the hand and arm. Now,
you see the lady has two pictures that
are brimful of meaning.
well, this idea can be applied to
the taking of hands and arms in a
thousand different poses representing
whatever is the highest thought in the
iady's mind.

conduct toward her newly-acquired en-

upon her hand that she can not refrain
examining it a dozen times an hour,
always, however, on the sly. On the

than usual to admire it boldly in the
seclusion OF her W apartment. A
frequent kiss is administered to the
shining band and its glittering gem,
and during the night she dreams that
itaas fallen into a stream. and awakes,
clutching the finger to assure herself
that the precious pledge is still seeure.
Then, on the following day, she
wears it only in secret, taking care to
transfer it to her pocket at table and

low to Satisfy the Ever-Growing Demand
for Hard Facts.
While we have never insisted that
work-benches will be introduced into
every district school in our land, we
do insist, and have insisted for years,
on the introduction of sense-exercises
and sensible expressions of sense-ex-
ercises in every school. high and low,
rich and poor. We are living in an
age of realism. Theories are at a dis
count. Hard facts are in demand.
The education that touches the life
that is, is highly valued. In this ma
terial age of ours we must not lose
sight of the spiritual. but We must also
not lose sight of the fact that the
spiritual of the present largely comes
through the material, and that
by the material the true
spiritual life of an individual
becomes practical, earnest and useful.
We believe in God, but we also believe
in man. We believe in the Kingdom
of God, but we believe also that to the
kingdom of man He has committed the
care of this lower world. Here in the
midst of things we fight the battle of
life, and it is by NEAR of things that
we handle. see, feel, taste and smell:

BURGLAR INSURANCE.
The Startling Suggestion Made by q Wide"
Awake st. Louis Physician.

The Startling Suggestion Made by q Wide
Awake st. Louis Physician.
Why not have a burglar insurance
company? We have life, fire, acct
dent and other insurance companies;
and yet the risk of loss of life, health
Or property by burglary is as great as
that from any other cause. In our
present high state of civilized life it is
an accident most likely to happen, and
is a constant and unavoidable risk. In
the West End thirty-eight burglaries
were committed within the last two
months. Any responsible company
which would undertake to indemnify
it's subscribers for such loss could
command a high premium, and an
immense patronage. Not only the
wealthy would join, but any body
who had any thing, especial
ly the large middle class, who
can little afford to lose Wl'nt
they have. I am of the lat
ter class. I have lost by burglary
within the last four years more than
five hundred dollars worth of clothing
alone. II I had a wife and jewelry
my loss would, of course, have been
proportionately greater. I am a care
full man, too; l pay my nightwatchman
regularly as he comes round every
month; l use political influence to have
a double police force in my part OF the
town, and l keep a dog in the back
yard so nobody can come in that way.
[ lie awake at night listening for sus-
picious sounds, and came near shoot
ing one of the other boarders who
came in "ather late the other night. l
sit on my trunkafo hours during the
lay with a nav" revolver in my hand.
But sometimes I have other things to
attend to, and it is always when least
expected that the burglars come to
make their collections. Sometimes
they come again the following night,
but only when they have forgotten
something. Seldom is any thing re-
covered, and when something is e
turned it is generally by the burglars
generosity, which prompts them to re-
turn heirlooms, Or, perhaps, their lack
of sentiment does not allow them to
appreciate heirlooms. II we overlook
the shortcomings of a burglar we a
see that he serves a good purpose as
well as every thing else in creation.
He serves indirectly to eur work for
the locksmith, the tailor, the jeweler,
profit to the secondhand clothing
dealer and support to a numerous and
stately police force. A company has
been formed which offers to put tele-
graph facilities into every house for
$12 a year, by which n can Ill a
mounted police officer every tim0 a
burglar is in the house. 1t is hoped
that the horse will frighten the burg
lar. But this company does lot in
demnify the housekeeper when the
burglar has packed up and gone with
the goods. Therefore a burglar insur-
ance company is a pressing necessity.

He Hunts for Eatables in q Kentucky
House.
Miss Sarah Jarvis teaches the Mount
Welcome school in the northwestern
part Of the county, twelve miles from
here, says a letter from Barboursville,
Ky. That region is mountainous and
wild and the school building is pitched
at the foot of a high mill covered with
dens Sc forest. The old-fashioned SPELL
ing bee is still popular in this part OF
the State, and it is also a practice at
the school Friday evening to divide the
pupils into two classes and allow them
to spell against each other. Miss Jar
Wis has adhered religiously to this
custom. One Friday evening there
was the usual spelling match at Miss
Jarvis school. The building in which
she teaches is of logs, with several
windows coming down within two
feet of the ground. The match
had been of more than usual
interest, the strength of the two
sides being pretty nearly equal. One
of the pupils had just spelled such a
long and difficult word that the others
had applauded. AS the noise ceased
there was a scratching sound at one Of
the windows in the real of the house.
go drive that dog away" said Miss
Jarvis to n of the boys. The boy
walked back to the window, showed up
the sash, and leaned out to strike at
the animal. When he thrust his head
out he gave a yell and rushed back to
the middle of the room.
Startled by the boys action Miss
Jarvis herself ran toward the window
to e what was the matter. Before
she reached it a black, hairy head was
thrust into the aperture. and she plain
ly recognized 9 black bear. The
pupils, too, saws the animal. There
was a stampede at once. All rushed
for the door, and in a moment we're out
of the room and the school~housa.
Miss Jarvis is q cool woman, aid
she retained her GOODNESS. She
took care of the younger children and
kept the crowd together. When che
saw that they were not followed by the
bear the alarm subsidized.
Jake Woodson, a farmer, lives abJalt
a mile from the Mount Welcome schsaol
building, and Miss Jarvis informed
him of the raid OF the bear. Jake
shouldered his rifle and, followed sy
his nineteen-year-old son Henry, who
had a double-barreled shotgun, went
to the school-house. He found the
door open and the bear on his launches
in the middle Of the room placiGly
chewing several spelling books and
first readers. A single shot from
Jake's rife dispatched him. The bear
was not a large one and was also YER,
thin, evidently having been on short
rations for some time. Woodson, who
is an old woodsman, says that the bear
had been forced by hunger to come
down from the thick forests on the
hill. louisville Courier-Journal.
