cles. 10 aid In this good work give below
some cuts and descriptions that hope will
be so plain to the reader that he can be-
come fairly proficient in the mysteries of
the art in a few hours study, writes con-
tributor to the New York Telegram. The
map of the hand is spread ont before you,
every hill and mount of hand and fingers
being brought out fully SO that even the
youngest can understand.
In palnistry it is always best to study the
left hand. The right hand is essentially
active, the left being only its aid. When the
rlght hand- requires no assistance the left
remains passive. As natural consequence
IN the left hand are found signs in accordance
win the passive powers. while in the right
hand are the indicatiOns.of whatever faculty
LOT action the person may possess. Those
VINO have the finest signs in the right hand
must hope for nothing from chance or luck.
Ihey Will succeed only by dint of their
personal endeavors, while persons having
the passive hand most regular have only to
wait for what will surely come, especially if
the line of luck be long, clear and straight
The hand is divided into two principal
parts, the full part, called the palm, and the
divided movable part, called the fingers.
When the palm of the hand, measured from
the wrist to above the roots of the fingers, is
much longer than the midule finger, the
possessor is always easy-going, having little
taste for either contradiction or criticism.
On the other hand, if the finger is the
longer the great desire of the owner will be
to shine Intellectually. The posseSsor has
wonderful memory for words and num-
bers, but seldom produces anything great.

The AIT Of ChGGrfllleSS That PerVadeS About

An air OF cheeTfulness and brightness n
about the place. The gay and brilliant
young Eothen of half century ago gives
playful description OF his own delight in
hndlng smiling faces and the laughter of
girls upon his path in the little hill city of
the nativity; and one cannot but remember
his words when the women flock out to their
doors-in greater numbers, surely, than in
other places-as the carriage dashes up
narrow street where the panels almost Craze

black and white. If the middle finger and
the palm are of equal length that is hand
to be trusted, unless some very marked sign
appears to excite distrust.
If the hand is soft and without resist
ance it indicates character lacking energy
and force, and where the hand is firm
solid even to hardness-it shows a strong
constitution, with patient and persevering
mind. A palm cool, soft and even to the
touch indicates healthy condition of the
system.
Each finger OF the hand has three divi-
sions. called phalanges and separated from
each other by the knots or joints Of the I'm
gers. They are as follows:
!. The first division, or phalany, lies be-
tween the tip of the finger. where the nail
grows, and the first joint; this pEalanx is
dedicated to the divine world.
2. The second division, or phalanX, lies
between the upper and middle joints of the
finger, and is dedicated to the intellectual or
abstract world, or world of logic.
3. The third phalanx is between the mid
die joint and the root of the finger, where it
joins the palm of the hand; this is dedicate
10 the material world.
If the first phalanx of the index finger is
longer than the others OF the same finger it
denotes tendency to direct control purely
for the love of order and Justice If the
first phalanX of the middle finger is the
longest it denotes wisdom and science for its
own sake. On the third iiuger it indicates
love of art for art itself. A long, stout
second phalanx on the index finger shows a
love of winning, based on the glory to be
achieved. On the middle finger it shows ca
pacity for profound study. On the third
finger it signifies taste for beauty and
riches.
Large fingers signify massive orGanza-
ton, destined to hard work; also a ponder
GUS mind and common, vulgar tastes Small,
but not thin, fingers, an acute clever mind,
which is often discriminating. Fat fingers
indiate a love of idleness or laziness, and,
where the third phalanx is particularly de-
veloped, taste for the sensuous. Lean
fingers designate searching aud inquirng
mind, simple tastes and sometimes ten
dency to parismoDy. Smooth fingers denote
a facility of conception and action, especi-
ally as regards art In knotty fingers the
conception is slow aud difficult, requiring
both time and labor to develop it, Pointed
fingers indicate the prompt or rapid concep-
ton of an idea and not less rapid deter
minaton TO execute it. They indicate also
religion, ecstasy, poetry, invention, imagi-
nation aud exaggeration.

The morning call., 1891-01-04

The arc which determines the fiftieth year
is found by extending the cOmpasses to the
point where the line of the heart meets the
percussion, and again noting the point of
intersection of the arc and the line of life.
Now, measure downward upon the per-
cussion spare equal to that contained be-
tween the root of the little finger and the
line of the heart; at the lower point of the
new space, start the arc which intersects
the line OF life at the sixtieth year.
For the SEVENTEEN year, the starting point
Of the arc is a lower point on the percussion
representing a distance only two-thirds as
great as the previous space.
For eghteth, ninetieth and one hun
dredth years the arcs start respectively
from points lower down upon the percus-
sion, each new point being always two
thirds Of the distance cont aimed in the space.
The illustration is perfect hand, such as
will probably never be found in the world.
The foregoing combinations and lines
should be studied and carefully noted.
After some practice the mind will become
familiarized with them, and the student of
palmistry will. with the same facility and

be enabled to decipher all there is to dis

A QUEER CLUBHOUSE.
4 Very Quaint Graft Now Being Built in a

A boat without the waters motionl a
house without the dust and noise and heat

Moisture and the waters breeze without the
cramped discomforts of boating! An oppOr-

These ideas floated last summer through
the heads of several members of the Chi
cago Club. whose business and social prom
inence did not prevent their sweltering in
the city during June, July and August.
Thinking led to action, and the result is a
peculiar house-boat, which is rapidly taking

thirty miles from Sebastopol, and marched
NJ the coast to point near the town Of
BaiaklaEa, which is situated just across an
isthm'I, Sebastopol being on the opposite
side, a. a distance Of seven and half miles.
BalaklaVa was valuable to the allies as a
basis Of supplies. The harbor is landlocked,
and though neither extensive nor deep and
BpmeW nat difficult OF entrance, the mouth
bring narrow, il was the best available point
for the navy within striking distance of
SebastOpOl, and consequ ntly was regarded
MS a place Of some Importance. Having
driven ont the feeble Russian garrison
which was left in BaIaklava, the town was
fortified and the army marched on by the
highroad to the attack of SehastOpOl. As
the fleet must remain at Balaklava, II WAS
important that the landing should be safe,
so number OF redOubts were cast up
around the town, and these Entrusted TO
English artllerymen,. who manned the
guns, and to several regiments of Turkish
loot TO act as supports. Shortly after the
occupation 1t was discovered that the Greek
inhabitants were in correspondence with
the Russians, and conspiracy had been
Matched. to set the town on fire on certain
night when the Russians were to make an
attack, so that the allies, being surprised on
both sides, might be placed at disadvan-
tage. As soon AS this plot was discovered
the COmmander-in-C Chief ordered that all
Greek inhabitants leave the town
within three hours, and the order was re-
lrntlessly carried cut, the tr, acherous Greeks

SLAMS. While the redOubts were entrusted to
the Turks, a sufficient body of foot and
horse was kept in or near the town TO rem
der nugaoty an attack by the enemy in any
but con siderable numbers. Meantime the
army iii d moved on t9'SehastOpol and cast
up Trenches which iuclosed The beseged and
rendered a speedy surrender within the
bounds of probability. OF course efforts
were made to raise the siege, and the Rus
sian army in the Crimea sought to disturb
the allies by making diversion in the rear;
for, if Balaklava was taken, or the line of
communication cut between the fleet and
tie army, new base of supplies must be
adopted, and possibly the allied army might
b. forced to retire altogether.
For several days before the 18th Of Octo-
her, 1854, bodies OF Russians were seen on
the heights above the city AID large parties
Of CGssacks were noticed moving near the
line Of tie highroad between Balaklaya and
SebastOpOi. Ii anticipation of an attack the
forces al the former poiut were strength
ened bt several regiments, both of cavalry
and infantry. On the M, rnng of October
25th the Russians appeared in force on the
hills about the city aud made an entirely I'M
expected attack on five of the redoubts

fore renewing the conflict or attempting to
retake the Balaklava redOubts.
The battle was thus finished about 10
o'clork in the morning, and the Russian po-
sition on the opposite side of the valley from
the allies was at point where semicircle
Of hills inclosed plain perhaps mile long.
At the entrance Of this plain on each side
was one of the Notifications deserted by the
Turks, and now manned by the Russians.
Between the two was the Russian center,
where nearly 10000 men, horse foot and
artillery, were posted, and behind them, on
the hills above them, were several batteri
of artillery. Altogether they had thirty
guns in position to play on the attacking
