in his department entitled " The
PROGRESS of the World, the editor of
the Review Of Reviews makes a sug-
gestlve comparison between the
Spanish and American nasies of the
present day. AS against the five
tirst-class battleships of the United
STATES nov afoat Ito say nothing OF
the foyr an process Of construction,
and the six others already ordered),
Spain has but one battleship; while
our navy has about twenty vessels
adapted for port defense, Spain has
only one; in cruisers also the United
States is far in advance of Spain.
All of which goes to show that the
Spaniards hardly know what they
are talking about when they assert
their preference for war with the
United States rather than the accept
pnOe of mediation in the Cuban trou-
BILE, for such a war would of necessity
be chiefly on the sea. -

LANGUAGE OF THE HAND.
Revelation Of Character by d'Arpentig-
ny's system of Chirognomy.

n4h HsHteHA u
In d'Arpentigny's system of chirog-
Monty he divides the hands into seven
classes. The lowest type is the elemen-
tniy, or largc-palmed hand. in which
the fingers are large and stiff,the thumb
short and generally turned back and the
pain big, thick and hard. It's possess
sors, according 10 this authority, are
devoid of enthusiasm and wanting IN
resources and moral strength. Their
feelings are heavy and sluggish, their
imaginations dull and their souls inert.
The spatulated type comes next IN or
der. and derives its name from the fact
that the finger ends are flattened and
broadened out after the manner OF
| spatula. This variety is rare in south
ern countries, having its origin in lati-
! tudes where the severity of the climate
and the comparatively sterile nature
| of The soil make movement and loeomo-
ton ard the practice of those arts
which protect the physical weakness OF
man necessary.
The comic hand has smooth fingers.
| terminating in n cone or thimble, and
indicates a talent for the plastic arts
Euaintire, sculpture and monumental
architecture. 1t also shows poetic
! imagination and n love of the beauti-
ful in the solid and visible form, hut 1t
| denotes an aversion to rigorous deduc-
ton. Its owners are enthusiastic anu
romantic, hut are under the objection
of phantasy. The square type is of
medium size and has the thumb large,
with the ball well developed, the palIn
hollow and rather firm and the finger
tbs square. To it belong presever-
ancc foresight and conventionality. It's
owners are endowed with vigorous in
tclligcnce, but they are denizens of the
earth. They are without wings and
cannot soar.
In the knotty, or philosophic type,
the finger joints are well marked and
their ends terminate in n half square,
half comic form. "IIave you such a
hand? 2" says d'Arpentigny. know,
| then, that it proclaims genius, an in
clination toward speculative IDEAS. Il
capacity for the higher ph. losofh cal
sciences ard for the rigorous deduc-
tons of verbal argument. 1t eyinces
a 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 ali. 1t has q medium
palm and smooth fingers, or fingers
with the joints only just perceptible.
Their upper phalange is long, and
drawn out to point, and the thumb is
small and elegant. To it belongs a
love of contemplation, idealism, rcli-
gious feeling. Indifference to material
interests, poetry of soul and of heart
lyric inspiration, and taste for all
things beautiful by their form and cs'
scnce, but particularly by the latter.
| Should the hand lie large, with joints
slightly visible, it indicates force, bui
| it also shows a lack of genuousness.
The mixed hand is the most confus-
| ing, being a combination of two types.

ever, the different varieties cannot alter

BRAVE KING JOHN,
The Predecessor of Meneiek Was Killed
In Battle.

The Predecessor of Meneiek Was Killed
In Battle.
/ was reading Slatin Pasha's new
book, "Pire and Sword in the Soudan,"
the other day, and came across several
descriptions OF the battles between the
Abyssinans and the followers of the
ing just at present in view of the dis
aster the arms of Italy have met in
fighting with King Menelek's army.
His description of the death in battle of
King John, King Menelell's predecessor,
is worth quoting as showing the bray
cry of the tribe. The battle was at Gal
labat and the Abyssinians were the at
;,acking PARTY. Their army was di-
yidCd into two portions, one made up OF
King Johns own tribes, the Tigre, to-
gether with Menelek's troops, and the
other OF the Amhara tribes legions.
On attacking the city the latter soon
broke through the delvishos lines, and
had they attacked the garrison, instead
of stopping to loot and pillage the
houses, they would have quickly won a
victory. Slatin Pasha writes:
King John, who was in his tent, hay
ing received news that the Anhara,
whom he had frequently accused OF
cowardice. had succeeded in entering
the lines, while his own tribe, the Tigre,
had failed, fell into passion. and,
ordering his followers to carry him on
his seat--a small gold augareb covered
with cushions and carpct-he was
brought INTO the midst of the fighting
line. The Mahdists, noticing a crowd
of followers clad in velvet and gold, di-
rcctcd their fire on them, and when
King John had almost reached the de-
lenses he was struck by a bullet, which,
breaking his righi arm above the elbow
entered the body. The courageous man,
declaring that his injurywaso fno conse-
qucncc. contnuelurging on his men but
soon fell bac!; unconscious on his couch,
and was carried to the rear by his fol
lowers, who had suffered great loss
The news that he was wounded spread
among his troops like wildiire; and,
though on the point OF success, they
retired. On the evening of N. 9th of
March, 1850, King John expired in his
tent. An effort Was made 10 keep his
death secret, but the news gradually
leaked out and the Amhara, deserving
the camp in tie night with all their
loot, returned 10 their homes. N. Y.

WeyIer Shows His Teeth.

soldiers showed at least the mercy OF
swift dispatch 1t would not be so bad, but
they appear to take fendish pleasure In
first torturing their victims and gloating
over their agonies.
There is little doubt that these horrors
are iu many cases perpetrated by command
OF the officers, and in nearly all cases coun-
tenanccd by them. They are incited to
such course by the knowledge that only by
such deeds eau they commend themselves
to the commander-in-chief. He demands
action by that term being understood
anything and everything that will decimate
the insurgents and all who give them aid or
sympathize with them. Those commanders
who do not attain this standard are de-
posed and sent back to Spain. Weyler
knows that he is not master of the situa-
ton; lie entertains doubts that he ever
will be, aud this makes him all the-n more
impatient. 1t has caused him to have
recourse to a policy intended to strike
terror into the hearts of the Cubans. -
1t was the fear of action friendly to the
insurgents on the part of the United States
Congress- which at first restrained Wey-
ler The impression that no action would
be taken has encouraged him to revert to
his old-timc cruelty. He excused his course
in the former war BY the plea that he was
a subordinate officer and had to obey or
dcrs. That will not avail him this time,
for he is in command, and upon him must
fall the blame and responsibility for out
RACES which would make even savages
blush with shame.

Unfortunate Mrs. Maybrick.

In spite of all efforts that have been made
to secure the pardon of Mrs. Maybrick, who
is serving life sentence in British
prison for poisoning her husband, and al
though but recently the hope was enter
tanned that these would shortly be sue
cessful, it appears that the wretched cap
tive will not be set free, the Home secre-
tary having again refused the application
for her release. That further steps will
be ia ken to bring about what has thus far
failed, is altogether probable, but the pros
pect that they will come nearer the goal
is not at all promising.
verdicts Of British juries and sentences
OF British courts are not often interfered
with. and pardons are much more rare than
in this country. In some respects this is
not to be deprecated. for on this side we
probably incline as excessively to the side
of leniency as do the British to the side OF
severity In the Maybrick case, however.
