] hypocrite and deceiver.

and recrossing In different directionl
shows a nervous temperament, much
disturbed by anxieties.

and In France than Italy, where the
artistic hand predominates.
PERSONS whose middle fingers are
longer than the palm are always am.
bilious Of shining intellectually and

TIE line of life Is often accompanied
by sister line, nearer the thumb,
which intensifies the quality OF the life
line and repairs its deficiencies.
THE line of tho liver begins at the
intersection Of the life line with the
wrist and runs diagonally across the
palm to the base Of the fourth finger.
A STRONG heart line, broken at the
ends and here and there having an ap-
pearance like chain, belongs to the
gallant and indicates many love affairs.
A CLEAR, long line OF Apollo Is an
indication OF an exceedingly happy dis
position, one which will probably be

tion to details, but laid plans for others
TO execute, had very small and per-
fectly formed hands, with taper fin
gers.
A MAN with large thumb should
never marry q woman with q similar
characteristic. There will, In such

come in business; II Saturn be full, in
speculation.

after man had beon there awhile he

toothache he probably ever had.
But the real danger came In when
you went to AK the moving machine.
You see when the snakes would get
knotted together around the knives

handy. The consequences was that
they would fill one another with poi

cause they had gambled and lost, and
others because they had gambled and
won; some because they had no chill
dren, and others because they had more
children than they could support; some
because they were kept too closely tied
to their mothers apron-strings when
young, and others because too great
freedom had been allowed to them by
their parents; some because they had
shrews OF wives to drive thom az tray,
and others because they had no wives
20 keep them straight; some because
they had no friends, and others because
they had too many friends; some be-
cause the weather was too hot, and

The Scene of the Inspiration of s Popular
 American Lyric.
 Among the pretty and historic towns almost on the borders of Boston lies Scituate, important. says the Provi- dence Journal, not only because it con tains some of the oldest houses in Plymouth county. but because it gave birth to the aut LOT of one of the most popular American lyrics, Samuel Wood worth, the author of The Old Oaken Bucket
 It is curious that the name ''Scitu- ate itself is a corruption of the In- dian .'Satnit," or ''cold brook" from a little stream hardly a mile long, which the first settlers of Scituate found as refreshing as had the savages before them. This brook, of course. is not Woodworth's well, and yet the well is no creation of the poets imagination. IL can still be seen by the visitor to Scituate, and in it hangs bucket, the iron-bound bucket. the moss-eovered bucket" in fact, the very bucket that inspired the poet. This, indeed. is what they say in Scituate-and even if the slseptical incline to doubt that wooden bucket could withstand the wear and tear of hundred years: there is DO doubt that Samuel Wood worth, as boy, used to drink from a similar bucket dipped into this very same well. Samuel Woodwork was born in Scituate in Iss5. His father, a soldier of the revolution owned 9 good farm, at present divided The old farmhouse is no longer standing.
