Character from Hand Clasps.

The latest fad of fashionable people
is telling the character by clasped
hands. A clasped hands character spe-
cialist says that this means of reading
character is easier and more correct
than all other ways.
"a woman" he says, who is friv-
olous will clasp her hands together
with the first finger of the right hand
between the thumb and first finger
of the left, but the first finger of the
right hand lies between the second and
third on the left when constancy pre-
walls. Those people who place two
fingers of one hand between The thumb
and fingers of the other are deceitful,
and not TO be trusted"
1t is said that in married couple
the one who in clasping hands and in
terlacing fingers brings the right
thumb nearest the body, with the right
fingers correspondingly placed in rela-
ton to the left fingers, will be the
dominant member of that couple

Union, or through some other favoring
circumstances, king in dire want of
postage stamp has been able to COM
municate with a distant manufactur-
ing concern. King Quansah, of Tan
tree, which is somewhere in Africa,
wrote to a cordage company in Ma5sa-
some of its wares, and excused himself
for neglecting to put on a stamp on the
ground that he was in a hurry. Seeing
that he is a king, the excuse was ac-
cepted. but probably the goods will not
be forwarded until it is known whether
his haste will prevent him from

Legislation for the restriction of the
sale of cigarettes has generally proved
ineffective; but as a result of city or
dinance recently passed in Chicago, by
which retail dealers in cigarettes are
obliged to take out license costing one
hundred dollars, the number of places
where they may be bought has fallen
from five thousand to about one hun
dred. The margin of profit upon cigar
cites is so small that the smaller deal
ers cannot afford to purchase the Ii
cense. This is not an ideal way to
combat the cigarette evil. but expe-
rience seems to prove it the most eff
fective yet devised.

now seriously i'll in this city.
Disease has laid low the wom-
an whose stalwart will carried her
through a successful career in the face
of opposition and obstacles of every
sort. Few careers have been more ro-
mantle. A beautiful girl, she was be-
sieged with admirers, and might have
made many brilliant marriages. At
one time vice president of the United
States and two United States senators
sought her hand. But she dlsdained all
offers. She had her mission to fulfill.
and ineXorably pursued ii until mis-
fortune and illness finally showed her
the fallacy of her course. For Phoebe
Cousins now believes that she has been
mistaken all her life, and that the true
aim OF womanhood is not civil equality
with man, but home and motherhood
Her parents were originally from the
East. Her father, who was among the
most prominent Unionists of st. Louis
received the appointment of chief Of
police and provost marshal of the city
during the war Her mother was the
sanitary commission, and had charge
of the city hospitals. AS a girl Phoebe
Cousins was as brilliant as she was
beautiful. She very early showed her
Discrimination, or rather her contempt,
for social life. For several years she
was the belle of st. Louis. But none
of her admirers could make Roadway
with hnr hnr
that women had a higher mission in
life than marriage.
When it was known that Phoebe
Cousins had entered the law depart
ment of the Washington University
there was no surprise. st. Louis had
become fully acquainted with her bent
Her friends knew that her years Of
reigning bellehood had been from her
point of view most Improbable, and
that from them she had derived but
moderate pleasure. Her beauty had
won many admirers and suitors quite
rs many, but SO plainly did she show
her preference for men of years and
wisdom that one by one they left her
side. Miss Phoebe did not appear to
even notice their desertion. She was
in the zenith of her beauty then. tall.
slender, supple, with delicate patrician
features, brilliant black eyes and raven
hair. Her complexion was olive, with
a rich shifting crimson in her cheeks.
Then, as until extreme adversely over
took her, she was noted for the taste
full elegance of her dress. She lacked
something of the softness of manner of
most Southern women. More in evil
dence was certain self-assertiveness
tempered by good breeding.
She secured entrance into the law de-
partment with some difficulty, was
graduated from it with honor. and
then began the career which, so far
as human insight goes, is nearly at an
end. She made a few strong woman
suffrage speeches-one at a Presbyte-
rian Sunday school convention in JEFF
ferson city, where she startled her
staid audience by asserting that "Pauls
words to women amounted to nothing,
for Paul was simply crusty old bache-
Tor, with no authority to lay commands
upon womankind," and another at the
banquet of the Mercantile Library As

"our own Phoebe Cousins"
