Look at your hand. Do you read
your character in it? Or study your
girls hand and be wise.
The science of chironomy, or the
meaning of the human hand, always
excites curiosity, but few people
understand it. Can a mans charac-
ter be read on his hand as we'll as
you can read it in his face or by the
bumps on his head? IT'S so claimed,
and the science by which it is done
is a pretty one. 1t has many
branches, all of them we'll worth
studying. eff the palm of the hand
is skinny and narrow" said a ''Pro-
lessor" Of the science, sit denotes
timidity, feeble mind and want of
moral and intellectual force. If the
palm is too thick, big and strong, it
denotes a low intelligence and a
tendency to brutality. A hollow,
deep palm always sig nifies misery,
ill-luck and failure in life. Fingers
which are smooth denote tendency
to act upon instinct, impulse or in
tuition rather than by reason, calcu-
lation or deduction. Knotty fingers
denote tendency to order and ar
rangement. People with short ting-
ers are quicker, more impulsive, act
more on the spur of the moment than
people with long fingers. If the
fingers are very short it signifies
cruelty and want of tact.
"Long fingers denote love of de-
tail. Such persons are tidy as to
their appointments, easily put out
and very careful about trifies. Work
ers in small things always have
large hands and the constructors of
colossal works have small hands.
Small people write large,
while large-handed people always
write small.
"Thick fingers denote luxury.
Twisted and malformed fingers, with
short nails, denote cruelty, tyranny
and worrying, teasing disposition.
If hand is stiff and hard, opening
with difficulty to it's fullest extent,
it betrays stubbornness Of character
and avarice. If the fingers are sup
pie, having a tendency to turn back
they denote, as a rule, cleverness and
inquisitiveness, nearly always gen,
crosby, ending in extravaganza. II
the fingers fit close together it is a
sign of avarioe. If twisted so as tc
show kinks between them it is 6
sign of curiosity. If they are smooth
and transparent they betray indis
crestion and loquaclty"

A Word About the Bolt Die Stock.

No turning back over the threads after
it is once cut, is a prominent feature of the
Duplex"
All mechanics agreeing that the turning
back against the cutting edge Injuries the
dies much more than the actual cutting
When the Duplex" dies become dull
by CUTTING, they can readily be renewed by
sharpening on a grindstone. Thus max
ing the life of these dies longer, at least by
four fold than any other made, and at the
same time avoiding the common occur
renee of stripping or weakening the thread
and rendering the work worthless.
This tool, when set to any desired size,
can instantly be released and lifted off and
reset to same size without trial, thus in
surfing I'll the threads uniformly alike. 1t
adjusts to all the variations in iron-rough,
diversified iron is shaved to standard size
and threaded at the same time. This can
not be accomplished with any other Die
Stock. The Duplex being the only tool
made allowing one set of dies to accurately
cut two distinct siZes-in the adjustment
no wrench, screw driver or any extra tool
being used-and when adjusted is as rigid
as solid die, and will do at least one-third
more work in the same space of time. We
solicit comparison with other makes,
both as to range of sizes each tool cuts,
and prices, as well as price of extra dies.

In MemOriam

The following resolutions were adopted
by Jackson Lodge, No. l, F. and A. NJ,
on Monday night, Nov. 4th.
Col. Alfred A. Fisher was born in
North Carolina Decembei. 1. 1903. but
had been a resident of Florida since his
early bOyhood, his father having moved
to Pensacola before the cession of Florida
to the United States. When the seat of
the Territorial government was trans
ferred to what is now known as Talla-
hassee. Colonel Fishers father was
among the first to settle in this section.
1t was here that he grew up to manhood,
and here occurred the scenes peculiar to
a frontier life; he developed those manly
qualities that won for him the esteem
and confidence of his fellow citizens.
From the time he attained to manhood,
for period of thirty years, he filled
various positions of trust and honor,
until. having attained a competency, he
retired to private life with the esteem
| and good will of all. 1t was here, too,
among the first to be initiated, passed
and raised in Jackson Lodge No. 1, F.
and A. NJ, in June, 1881. Loyal to the
tencts of our order, our brother in his
younger days was a regular attendant
at the meetings of this lodge, and then
and ever afterwards he was ever ready
to assist a needy brother and their
widows and orphans, for with him
masonry was not simply profession,
but he exemplified what he professed.
Living here for more than sixty years
he was known. honored and revered by
all. We will miss his familiar face in
our lodge room and on the street, but
his memory cannot fade. His deeds of
kindness and charity will long live in
the hearts of recipients and of those of
| us who knew him well.
AS tribute of respect to his memory
Resolved, That blank page of our
| records be inscribed with his name, date
Of birth, dates of initiation. passing and
raising, date of his death and burial.
Resolved, That as further token Of
respect the jewels of the lodge be draped
in mourning FOR the space of thirty
days;
Resolved, That these resolutions be
published in the city papers and copy
furnished the widow of our dceaseed
brother. towhom we tender our heartfelt
coincidence.
Respectfully submitted.

the Old Civ A,eunetorv

Yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock 'the
body Of Robbie Mclean, son of Judge W.
A. Mclean, arrived from Cedar Key in
Charge of E. r. Gordon, of o. 2. Tyler &
Co., and was taken at once to ST. Pauls
NJ. E. Church, where Rev. j. B. Anderson
spoke the solemn words of the burial serv-
ice over the deceased.
The church was crowded with the many
friends, both young and old of the de-
parted. The floral pieces were many and
beautiful, and covered the pulpit and coffin
with a mass OF bloom
After the service at the church the body,
followed by the sorrOwing family and
friends, was taken to the old city cemetery,
the last sad words were uttered, and it was
committed to the grave. The pall-bearers,
all young friends of the deceased, were
Messrs. William Frazier, Gordon Clark. j.
Poulton Clarkson, Calvin Oak, Elisha Gee
and Daniel Jones.-Times- Union, 11th.
Robert was drowned at Cedar Key last
Thursday. He was good boy, and every
Flordian who knows Judge Mclean
deeply sympathizes with him in his sad be-
reavement.
