Palmistry.

Marvellous things are claimed of
palmistry, not only by those who prao-
tice IL as q profession, but by many who
have seen the prophecies Of palmists
come true In actual life. Telling the
past by the lines of the hands Is, how
ever, almost q new art. There is man
in town who believes he can do IL. at
least so far as marriages are concerned.
He is Professor Hargett. Still further.
he claims that the lines Of the hand
show whether q marriage in the past
ended in divorce, and which party it
was that obtained the divorce.
"It is also possible. he said the other
day, Ito find In the palms the records
Of the number of ones marriages. hint
Of the experiences Of courtship, and
whether married life proved smooth or
otherwise. I saved one young woman
from biganiist once. He was engaged
to her, and they came together to me.
You are married already said after
looking at his palm. He only laughed,
but the young woman investigated and
found IL was true.
ION another occasion I saw in the
hand Of hotel keeper the record Of two
marriages-one ut "a years, and the
other at 80. When told him, he was
simply amazed. I was married once at

Tho Cap Of Liberty.

From very early times one Of the dis.
hnguishing marks Of slave, both in
Greece and oriental countries generally,
was the lack Of any covering for the
head. Accordingly the cap came to be
considered the insignia Of liberty, and
when slaves were given their freedom
they were presented with gap as an
emblem Of ii. In Sparta the helots wore
q cap of dogskin and this was reckoned
badge Of servitude, but upon gaining
their freedom this was replaced by
cap of different material, of another
shape and ornamented with flowers. A
similar custom was observed in Rome,
where the presentation of the pileus or
cap was always part Of the ceremony
Of manumitting a slave; hence arose
the proverb, "Servos nd pileum vo.
care" Also on medals the cap is the
symbol Of liberty and is usually repre-
sented as being held in the right hand
by the point. When Gap was exposed
to the peoples view on the top Of
spear. as in the case Of the conspiracy
against Cesar, 1t was intended as, a
public invitation to them to embrace
the liberty that was offered them. The
Goddess Of Liberty on Mount Aventine
was represented as holding a cap in her
hand AS a symbol Of freedom. The Jac.
obins wore red cap during the French
revolution, and in England a blue cap
with white border is used as a symbol
of liberty. The custom which prevails
among university students of wearing q
cap is said to have had its origin in q
wish to signify that the wearers had ao.
quired full liberty and were no longer
subject to the rod Of their superiors.

Mrs. Fields Tells an Interesting Anecdote
OF the Author.
Speaking Of Longfellow, in her vol.
ume of literary "reminiscences, Mrs.
Jane J. Fields says:
"His kindness and love Of humor car
ried him through many a tedious inter-
ruption. He generously overlooked the
fact Of the subterfuges to which men
and women resorted In order to get an
interview, and, to help them out, made
as much Of their excuses as possible
speaking one day Of the persons who
came to zoe him at Nahant, he said
One man, perfect stranger, came with
an omnibus full Of ladies. He descend
ed, introduced himself then, returning
to the omnibus, took out all the ladies,
one, two. three, four and five, with a
little girl, and brought them in. I en-
tertained them to the best Of my ability,
and they staid an hour. They had scarce
ly gone when forlorn woman in black
came up to me on the piazza and asked
for dipper Of water. Certainly"
replied, and went to fetch her glass.
When brought it, she said: "There Is
another woman Just by the fence who ia
tired and thirsty. will carry this to
her." But she struck her head as she
passed through the window and spilled
the water ON the piazza. "Oh, what
have donep' she said. "If I had q
floor cloth, would wipe it up" "Oh.
no matter about the water" I said, "if
You have not hurt yourself" Then I
went and brought more water for them
both and sent them ON their way ro-
freshed and rejoicing
ut would be both an endless and un-
profitable task to recall more Of the Gu
rious experiences which popularity
brought down upon him. There is a
passage among Mr.. Fields notes, how
ever, in which he describes an incident
during Longfellow's last visit to Eng.
land which should not be overlooked.
Upon his arrival the queen sent grace
full message and invited him to Windsor
castle, where she received him with all
the honors. but he told me no foreign
tribute touched him deeper than the
words Of an English hod carrier who
came up to the carriage door at Harrow
and asked permission to take the hand

Of the Night.

TRAPPING CROWS.
It Is Not an Easy sitter TO Net the willy
Iilrha.

It Is Not an Easy atter to Net the willy
Birds.
Crows are trapped and sold TO sports
men for shooting matches, usually bring
ing $40 per 100, but, like other things,
when scarce they bring more.
1t is no simple matter to trap crows,
for the crow Is willy bird, and to catch
him in net set for that purpose re-
luires skill, and patience as we'll, but
the hunger Of the crow is always the
trapper's greatest aid. One man alone
would make but little headway catching
crows and would probably sit all day in
his little bough house ready to spring
his net, but the crows would give his
bait q wide berth because they would
know that he was there.
! After placing the carcass of some ami
NAL on field the net is set close to II
by bending poles of saplings, on which
the net Is hung fat to the ground, where
they are held down by triggerlike pegs,
and line run 80 yards or more to q
house built Of boughs, where the trap.
per Is secreted.
Another carcass ia usually laid some
hundreds of yards distant on the same
or another field, where there Is no net
set. The trappers, usually two in num-
ber, go into the bough house together
before daylight, and when the crows be-
gin to assemble on the fields one Of them
goes out and walks away. The crows.
seeing him leave, grow little bolder
and approach the bait in ones and twos,
but stop only long enough to get beak-
full Of the flesh and fly off again. The
carcass where there is no net set is Of
course the best patronized, but the trap
per OH the outside makes 1t his business
to walk near enough to that to keep the
crows from settling on 1t in numbers
and thus satisfying their hunger with
out going to the one where the net is.
After awhile their hunger gets the bet
ter Of their judgment or their fear, and
they gather on the carcass where the
net is. This is the opportunity Of the
man in the bough house. who, with a
vigorous pull on the line. springs the
net over them. Quick work must be
done then by the trappers. who rush up
to the net. to keep the trapped crows
from crawling out at the ends and the
front. where It il not staked fast to the
ground. With their hands covered with
stout buokskin gloves. to keep the crows
from biting and scratching them. the
captured birds are put in bags ready to
be carried off the field. From 40 to go
are frequently caught at one pull, but IL
is rare thing to get more than two
springs Of the net in one day. .-Phila-
