also quite nimble OF foot and will COM

Ietes will also be made. Notable among
these contests Ia a match, lO0-yard dash,
between j. s. Mitchell, N. Y. A. G., and

Mars. If even, narrow and long, it in.
dicates strong will and Judgment and
acute mental perception.
The line of fortune or fate should run
in straight, unbroken line from the
'sbracelet" to the base of the second fin
ger. Broken lines denote troubles. Both
hands should be read when studying the
line of fate.
The line of Apollo or brilliancy, a very
lucky line to possess, rises from the plain
of Mars or from the life line toward the
third finger. If straight and clear, it in
dicates fame in the arts or wealth.
The line of health starts diagonally
from the wrist to meet the line of head
close to the mount of Mars, or at the top
of the mount Of Luna. This line is I'M
fortunately often wanting.
"The milky way" rarely noticeable,
runs from the wrist across the mount of
Luna. 1t indicates cunning and faith
less spirit. 1t is liable to be mistaken
for the line of health.
The girdle of Venus, fortunately I'M
common, is as whole indicative of a
bad character.
Bracelets of life-these encircle the
wrist and denote length of life, fortune
and happiness, especially if they rise to-
ward the hand. MINNIE SCOTT.

CHARACTER IN THE PALMS.
The Study of the Hand Has Become Social
Fad.
Especial Correspondence.l

Fad.
Especial Correspondence
CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Barnum's alleged
remark that people like to be humbugged
has received fresh exemplifcation in the
palrhistry fad, which has become some
what prevalent in social circles in this
city. Reading palms enables few ''pro-
fessors" to gather few dollars from the
gullible and superstitious and serves to
furnish diversion for those upon whom
time hangs heavily. By attention to a
few simple rules practiced by successful
palm readers every one can read his own
palm and get what satisfaction there
may be in something which has only a
modicum of truth for basis of what it
reveals.
The left hand should be studied, I'M
less the person beleft handed, but in case
of doubt the other hand should be con-
suited for auxiliary evidence. The thumb
and fingers are each divided by the joints
into three phalanges. The intuitive fac
ulties are represented in the first, rea-
soning powers in the second and material
instincts in the third phalanges.
Beginning from the forefnger, the
fingers are named Jupiter, Saturn, Apol-
10 and Mercury. The heshy pads at the
base of each finger are termed mounts"
and are named after the fingers below
which they occur. The ball, or third
phalange of the thumb, is called the
mount of Venus. In the center of the
palm is the plain or triangle of Mars.
Below the mount of Mercury is the
mount of Mars. Extending from the
last mount up to the wrist is the mount
of Luna, or the moon.
The line of life should, if perfect, COM
pletely encircle the mount of Venus. A
long, regular line, deep, but narrow,
soft i'll color, denotes long, healthy life
and good character.
The line of Mars, or martial, should be
of clear red color. 1t is SISTER" or in
ner line of the line of life. In soldiers it
indicates success in fight; in civilians,
violence of the passions
The line of heart extends from the
mount of Jupiter to the mount of Mer
curry. If deep, of good color and mar
row, it indicates strong, good heart,
firm affection and even temper.
The line of head runs from the base of |
the mount of Jupiter to the mount of
