Smooth fingers denote artistic ten
denotes, love of poetry and music, also
creative genius.
People with short fingers are quick
impulsive, jump at conclusions, and are
apt to be cruel and lack tact. Long
fingers belong to people who are or
derby, attentive to details, inclined to
be distrustful and seek the inner
meaning of things When they speak
or write their attention to detail is
often burdensome and distracting
Minute workers always have large
hands, whereas the constructors of
colossal works have small ones. Only
the medium hand can apprehend great
schemes and details at one time. Thick
fingers at the base denote love of lux
ury, love of eating and leisure.
Large spaces between the fingers
when the hand is fully opened indi
cate great interest in other peoples af-
fairs. Fleshy protuberances at the
ends Of the fingers bespeak a sensitive
nature, easily wrought into anger.
Broad fingers (at the tips indicate love
of manual exercise, action, activity,
unitarian tastes, eXactitude and good
reasoning; can do work well, are in
tellectual, logical, philosophical, and, if
musical, Will execute brilliantly.
Comic fingers denote artistic III
stincts, love of the beautiful. Very
long and pointed ones denote religious
zeal and Indifference to worldly inter
ests.
1t must be remembered that the de
vciopment Of the finger joints modifies
the above analysis.
To keep the hands always closed de-
notes secretiveness and often untruth-
fuiness. The person who tells lie usu-
ally closes the hand while doing it. Quiet
hands are sclf-corscious and secretive.
Short, broad, thick and stubby nails be-
long to fidgety, meddlesome people. Wo-
men with short nails are generally ter
magants. Long, curved nails indicate
cruelty. Fine, delicate nails denote a
sensitive, artistic, beautiful, noble nat

defined mounds at their bases-some-
times they are called palm cushions
They are as follows:
Under the thumb Is the mount of
Venus. People who have this in full
development are always charming.
They love beauty, grace, pleasure,
music and luxury. Lines on this mount
indicate strong affections. Beneath the
first finger is the mount of Jupiter. In
full development it means ambition,
honor, gayety. love of pomp and cere-

ON A CAPITAL OF 500.
The Prize Plan for Earning Money
At a Small Outlay.

The prize of 500 offered by the New
York Herald for the best suggestion of
how woman can profitably embark
in business on a capital of 500 has
been awarded to Mrs. Opie, a Washing
ton lady. Her suggestion was as fol-
lows:
81 knew lady who started business
few years ago on less than 500, and
whose method is practicable today in
any city. She not only made a living,
but small fortune and she can be
seen today in Nice. France, at her
original starting point, stu dispensing
through her assistants, afternoon tea,
of the finest quality, supplemented
with thin brown bread and butter,
toasted crumpets and very good cream.
She began by hiring a counter in q
fashionable shop, q silver water boil
er, dozen tea balls, fine china, napery
and pretty maid to serve. Her bust
ness expanded to room above the
shop, then to a floor; but the business
today is still restricted to tea and the
accessories mentioned. Her corps OF
pretty maids has increased, her rooms
are the rendezvous Of the leisure class,
who are always sure of q cordial wei
come and a cup OF tea, fresh, hot,
cheap, clean, and Of superlatiVe quail
ty. Doubtless many OF your readers
have Dartaken of her cheering brew
for she still serves her fragrant beV
erage on a fashionable boulevard of
Nice, where she is held in the highest
estimation.

A sign at the door informs pedestrians that
first-class tea is sold here, made to order at
five cents cup, with good cream. The Access
series may be toasted crumpets, buttered, at
ten cents; thin rolled brown bread and but
ter five cents. The requirements are shining
cleanliness, hot fresh tea Of the best quality,
a cordial welcome and a cheerful place, near
the street door.
The tea room suggestion came to Mrs. Dixie
from observing the success of two such shops.
The tea house in Nice has been described
above. The other venture is a we'll known
ington, where very good bread and butter and
clear, strong, aromatic coffee has been dis
pensed for twenty years. Only ten cents is
charged for service of coffee and bread
and butter. The proprietor of this place has
made a modest fortune His old, weather
worn sign, Coffee and Rolls 10 Cents may
still be seen above his original shop. At the
noon hour and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon it
is extremely difficult to get table at this
little shop, There is always a dense throng of
the incest people in Washington in the place
at those hours.

mony. Such people choose the best for
their friends, and hold themselves up to
their highest estate. A cross on this
mount means a happy marriage. The
second finger, mount Of Saturn, carries
caution prudence, love of quiet, pune
| tiliousness and morbid fancy. Under
the third is the mount of the Sun. This
augurs love Of art, success, wealth,
glory, good fortune, and a brilliant life
The fourth, the mount of Mercury, tells
of quick and clever mind, eloquence,
commercial capacity, hospitality
everybody's good fellow, and a really
good fellow, indeed. Lines crossing
number of parallel lines easily counted
number the offers of marriage made or
received. The fullness noticed along
the outer edge of the palm indicates an
excess Of mental activity.
The most important line in the hand
is the life line, which surrounds the
mount Of Venus at the base of the
thumb. Clearly defined and well col
ored, with rays crossing it, indicates a
happy, prosperous life. The shorter the
line the shorter the life; break in it
severe illness A full length line reach
ing to the wrist means a long life, even
to 100 years. Important events are in
dicated by rays crossing the life line
The reckoning Of years is made toward
the wrist. One crossing it halfway
along the line occurs at forty-five or
fifty years of age if the line is full
length.
The line Of head, clear and we'll COL
ored, extending across the palm from
the beginning Of the life line, gives
domination, self-control and a well
poised character. The heart line, when
well traced and of good color extends
clear across the hand from the mount
Of Jupiter to the outer edge of the palm
and denotes excessive affection, happy
marriage and long life. One or more
breaks in it indicate loss Of life COM
panions, and the full wrinkles between
the heart line and little finger are said
to indicate more than one marriage
The fourth great line is that of fortune

be driven at rapid pace-a little too
fast to please her escort, especially the
officers who rode their own horses. A
gallant captain, afterward renowned

shook his fist in the little princes face.
The prince roared with fright. and his
royal mother. quite ignorant of the
cause, took him ON her lap to pacify
him. When the prince was quiet and
resumed his seat, the captain again
shook his fist, and this was repeated all
the way down to Windsor. At the end

what had occurred and issued her COM
mand that the officer should never COM

what the captain hoped would happen.

When Henri Rochefort planned the
erection of a workman's glass works at
Carmaux to help the glass workers, he
received an anonymous gift Of 100, 900
francs. The donor was Nine. Dimbourg,
who has since died at Boulogne, aged
70. She was curious old lady, wildly
generous, yet careful TO miserliness,
sending her gift to the glass works
anonymously and then complaining
when her name was omitted from the

lived in an unpretentious house, fur

up every scrap of paper and bit of rag
she found, yet helped all whose want
came to her ears. She sent / 1000 francs
here, 5000 there, while her own serv-
ants could scarcely get enough to eat,
and their wages were extremely small.
The money for the glass works was sent
in small linen bag. comparatively
worthless, which no one thought of &c
turning to her.
She sent servant to claim It, how
ever, and was greatly annoyed that it
had not been sent back. She was very
fond of cats, but even the food of her
pets was measured out with niggardly
hand, and the youngest kitten had its

it might not drink too much. During

Cloyers and Shamrock.

English clovers are Irish shamrock.
Perhaps no greater myth exists than that
relating to the shamrock. st. Patrick
would find clover in almost all parts OF
Ireland, as he would in England, and
it was fitting emblem Of the Trinity.
Consequently there is little doubt that
he used it as an illustration. How the
little fiction that it is distinct plant
and will grow only in Ireland has been
maintained so long seems incompre-
hensible unless it is due to the pecul-
iarity of Englishmen when regarding
most things Irish. 1t is almost as alb
surd rs regarding Levers characters as
typical Of the Irishman of today, prob
ably Of any day, as he appears to have
had as great genius in inventing char
acters as in inventing stories Ireland
largely owes its clovers and shamrocks
to its limestone. Around Dublin, where
limestone is not very prevalent, the in
ferior type of clover, the yellow trefoil.
Is commonly employed as badge, its
convenient shape, owing to its top root,
rendering it convenient as buttonhole
flower.
In limestone districts the white clo-
yer is more commonly used, though
there is no definite rule, as is shown by
the specimens collected by natives in
all parts of Ireland now to be seen in the
Dublin museum. These specimens were
allowed to go to flower, and four dis
tinct varieties of clover are represented,
each frequently. Even the large red
clover is included. There is no other
plant shown, because there is no other
shamrock. The myth is destroyed, but
the clovers remain. and it is due to
their presence that the Irish pastures are
SO rich and so valuable for grazing.
They have accumulated fertility, and
they have done so in England. There
fore their presence in lawns must not
be regarded as prejudicial = London
