/ be found upon the hands of many people.
II is upon the mount at the Dase OF the
thumb. This is the Mount OF Venus, and
high protuberance here signifies a dude.
Men who dress extremely well have always
a bony appearance upon this inside lobe
1t is a very pronounced development of
this portion Of the Mount OF Venus
Should the entire mount be full and
extend toward the middle OF the hand
it means a tendency to stay at home and
entertain, to dress well and be a society
man. Ward McAllister's mount OF Venus
took up one-half OF the palm OF the
hand. David B. Hill has Just such a
pronounced lobe. But in his case It is
neutraliZed by very strong mentality
line, which We shall talk about later on.
That line comes in the reading of the palm.
Atpresent We aretalking aboutthe shape Of

People with big thumbs have awful will
| power. Their minds pred ominate over
matter, and over will Itself. Hypnotists
have such thumbs Two big thumbed men
are Whitney and Cleveland. The former
could have Deem hypDotst without ulffi-
cuty. Ii Whitney looks at you and explains
u firing you believe it somehow. That is,
ir you get within range OF his direct glance.
He has hypnotic power in the lines of his
face and in his eyes. His thumbs show

The forefinGer is one of the su rest

a broad. fiat fOrefinser means love
| OF justice. big, round forefinger, larger
| at the tip than in the middle, denotes
a tendency to measure all things by iu.
dicial standards, an overreached justice.
Where you see a man with this club-like
| forefinger you will find one VINO cannot
temper justice with mercy a stern judge.
/ Chief Justice Fuller has one OF these big
! forenDeers. but fortunately the bump Of
| generosity at the mound Of the finger is so
| large that il oyerbalances this great JUS
| tice finger, making it not cut or proportion
| in The character. 4 crooked forefiuger
means an ability to Judge fairy, and IA
| tapering one means that the sense OF
| justice is swayed oy appearances and
| circumstances. even by the weather.
The love of fun is shown by the tip OF
the middle finger In Chacncey NJ De-
pew this middle finger is fiat, almost
spaiulate. in spite of efforts to make lt
taper Ike the other fingers This shows
Il high sense of humor. All the funny men
have big middle fingers, spreading at The
ends.
Those with artistic ability have nearly
always the third finger large and round
ing at the very tip, never tapeHng. Some
very artistic hands have pointed fingers
all except the third finger. which spreads
round. This means a strong sense OF
the beautiful a long third finger ineaps
n very strong appreciation of art, let
tiers and science.
When you hear an orator speak. notice
the length and siiap" of his iittie finger.
Eloquent men have big little fingers II

end as at the base, it, means a marvel
Gus flow Of speech. II 1t is abnormalIy
long, it means logic aud all that goes
with good speaking. T. C. Plat has -
large little finger, but he is not "a speaker.
That is because he lacks the necessary
vanity TO uphold him, and is not often
gifted with love of fun, necessary ad-
junct for successful orator.
THE PALM LINES
In the lines OF the hand you Will see
several pronounced cues Notice Fl rst.
the one that runs downward from ths
third finger If it Is u broken line, it
means that you will have money ard
lose 1t. 1t is the line Of wealth In the
hand of Calvin s. Brice it is unbroken
from start to finish. In certain WELL
known turf man it runs i'll many htcls
leaps, meaning spent fortunes and many
made. The line is never very deep, but
there's money along it, The line OF the
heart starts from below the little finger
and extends to the mount under the fore
finger. An uninterrupted course signifies
falling in love aud happily for life. II

II cut into, death will intervene.
At a lawn party at Cliveden, the English
home of William Waldorf Astor. a -paimist
was introduced upon the lawn to read
the hands of the guests. Everybody ini-
pdrtuned the host to have his hand read
Consenting at last. Mr.. Astor spread out
his smooth palm for the palmist to de-
cipher.
THE first thing see is a severing of the
heart line at middle age said she. in
cautiously.
And that means demanded the mill
ionaire, with knitted brows.
THAT you will lose one very dear to
you soon," said the frank palmist.
Leave the grounds ordered Mr.. Astor,
his-b rows scowlng at the palmst so heavily
that she interpreted the Nook and beat
retreat as early us possible.
And within two months says the man
who tells the story, Mrs. Astor was dead,
though then enjoying good health
The line of mentality is the ono lying
below the line Of love. This was very
deep in Artenus Ward, who declared
he never thought thought" and Josh
Billings, who could not "spelr' had u
positive furrow. But the witticisms Of
both remain because OF their grain of truth
Which ma kes all things powerful and great
There was mentality there.
The line Of life extends around the
thumb. Ii broken, there will lie illnesses.
II very long, there is a possibility Of
hundred years OF life. One hundrel years
was set down for Tom Reed by a palmist.
The small lines crossing the big ones
mark off notifications OF the traits and
tendencies, and by the depth and length
OF the lines and the shape of the bumps

man, whether he DO politician, wit
or convict. The lines VIII show.
