Everyone who has ''lone" the Louvre

victims killed in the revolution of 1890
were immured here, and that the gov

Juliet.
On the other hand. NJ. Blondel, the

Protecting Partisan Monuments, hold
the opinion that these subterranean
passages led to the oubliettes into
which Catherine de Medicis cast those
who were unfortunate enough to incur

ton would clear up the matter, and
settle, too, several doubtful points as
to tho foundations of Lescots original

archaeological research. and it would be
necessary to appeal for funds to the
generosity of the chamber.-London

LANGUAGE OF THE HAND.

Revelation of Character by d'ArpentiE"
ny's System of Chirognomy.
In d'Arpentigny's system of chirog-
nomy he divides the hands into seven
classes. The lowest type is the elemen-
tary, or largc-palmed hand, in which
the fingers are large and stiff, the thumb
short and generally turned back and the
palm big, thick and hard. Its possess
sors, according to this authority. are
devoid of enthusiasm and wanting in
resources and moral strength. Their
feelings are heavy. and sluggish, their
i,naginations dull and their souls inert.
The spatulated type comes next in or
der, and derives it's name from the fact
that the finger ends are fattened and
broadened out after the manner of
spatula. This variety is rare in south
ern countries, having it's origin in lati-
tudes where the severity of the climate
and the comparatively sterile nature
of the soil make movement and locomo-
ton and the practice of those arts
which protect the physical weakness of
man necessary.
The comic hand has smooth fingers.
terminating in a cone or thimble, and
indicates talent for the plastic arts
painting, sculpture and monumental
architecture. It also shows a poetic
Imagination and love of the beauti-
full in the solid and visible form, but it
denotes an aversion to rigorous deduc-
ton. It's owners are enthusiastic and
romantic, but are under the subsection
of phantasy. The square type is of
medium size and has the thumb large,
with the ball well developed, the palm
hollow and rather firm and the finger
tips square. To it belong prcsever-
ance, foresight and conventionality. It's
owners are endowed with vigorous in
tclligence, but they are denizens of the
earth. They arc without wings and
cannot soar.
In the knotty, or philosophic type,
the finger joints are we'll marked and
their ends terminate in a half square,
half comic form. 'Have you such a
hand?" says d'Arpentigny. "Know,
then, that it proclaims genius, an in
clination toward speculative ideas, a
capacity for the higher philosophical
sciences and for the rigorous deduc-
tons of verbal argument. 1t evinces
love of the absolutely true, an inter-
est in things, advanced logic and poetry
of reason and of thought"
The pointed or psychic hand is the
most beautiful of all. It has medium
palm and smooth fingers, or fingers
with the joints only just perceptible.
Their upper phalange is long, and
drawn out to a point, and the thumb is
small and elegant. To it belongs
love of contemplation, idealism, reli-
gious feeling, indifference to material
interests, poetry of soul and of heart,
lyric inspiration, and taste for all
things beautiful by their form and es-
sence, but particularly by the latter.
Should the hand be large, with joints
slightly visible, it indicates force, but
it also shows lack of righteousness.
The mixed hand is the most confus-
ing, being a combination of two types.
Like the separate breeds of dogs, how
ever, the different varieties cannot alter
themselves beyond certain point. In
obedience to some occult force they are
continually brought back to their
original purity.-Philadelph Times.

4 Pathottc0uy Humorous Story Toio OF .
Cumberlead Mountain Farmer.
A writer in the. Detroit Free Press
tells pathetically humorous story Of
friend of his, Jack Negly. a Cumber.
land farmer. The writer had lent Jack
a few dollars, with which to buy pair
of steers, and had received from him
many visits Of apology; for Jack was
an honest man, and did not enjoy being
in debt.
He was q renter, and at least every
other season he was occupying diff
ferent farm. BY my advice, he had
moved the year before into an entirely
new field, g. dozen miles from his usual
baunts, and had not seen him for
Aeveral months. When did see him,
at last, it was by accident as business
called me into his neighborhood. Al
l rode past his place he hailed me from
the corn-held and came cut to the fence.
"Hello," exclaimed. lis this your

"Yes. and jist come over to tell you,

to avail themselves Of the opportunity to call,
they are not slow to take peep at society in
this way. Some very effusive people from Ala
bama dropped in on Cabinet lady one day.
In voice that could be heard all over The

and said "We're so glad TO see you. We are
in town from Alabama, and we don't want to

thing there is to be seen here; and we want 10

At another place the same party, with loudly
expressed sympathy, said they certainly
were sorry to see her (the hostess) looking
SO tired And the spokeswoman, when she
went out patted her on the shoulder, saying:
"Good-by. Don't give us your hand I. we know
it must be tired, too"

RRMY AND MANY

The bills to advance Maj .-Gen. Miles to the
grade of Lieutenant General of the United
States Army were pigeon holed in both Houses.
Mr.. HUI, Of Iowa. the Chairman of the Mill
tsry Committee, reported the bill faverably
early in April last. There was some opposition
in committee. hut a majority of the members
approved it, II wall be remembered that Score
tary Lamont wrote strong letter to Mr.. Haw-
ley, OF Connecticut. the Chairman OF the Senate
Military Committee, protesting against re-
viVal of the grade in Gen. Milcs's interest.
His contention that The rank
which ought To be conferred upon men who
had rendered distinguished service like Grant,
Sheridan. aud sherman; that whatever were
Gen. Milcs's services they did exceed in
value those of many other officers equally dis
tinguished and that it was inad visablc, there
fore, TO single him out for such honor. The
Senate Committee, influenced by Mr. Lamonts
arguments. pigcon-holtd the measure, and it is
likely to slumb Der indefinitely upon the calen-
dar IL was thought best not TO bring the bill
up in the House in the closing days Of the ses-
sion.

ADVICE To HIS PARTY.

President Cleveland Says the Adoption of
silver Would BE Lasting Disaster.
President Cleveland last week gave out an
interview warning his party against silver and
expressing his views ON the Democratic situa-
| ton. He said:
II have made no figures as to the probable
action Of delegates already chosen, or to be
chosen, to the Democratic National Conven-
tion, but j refuse to believe that when the time

ough discussion during a political campaign,
