PALMISTRY THE FAD.
People Who Have Their Hands Read
Want to Know the Future.
New York Telegraph

The fad of palmistry has struck New
York with more than ordinary violence, If
we may believe enthusiastic reports sent
out by different practitioners in the realm
Of chiromancy. Nor does the infection con-
fine itself to what the Greeks were pleased
to term ''the vulgar" but the banker,
broker, professional man and the woman of
fashion all flock to the parlors of these
later adopts in that side science of occult
ism whose basis is the lines of the hand.
A short talk with Fletcher, who is as well
known as any of the opponents Of the art,
brought to light the following information
concerning the aims and motives that actu-
ate most of the callers:
They care little for the science of palm
istry. What they wish to know is what the
future holds of veal or woe and how to
compass their end. have often said that a
successful reading is like a successful pho
wishes 1T to look it is good. first class If
the reading runs the favorable way 1t is
splendid, for ii is matter of personal
selfiShness after all. In reality the hand
holds the entire history of each life, and
changes from time to time as the more i'm
portant events unfold themselves
who comes to consult? Why, every
body, from the most astute lawyers, lead
ers of fashion, popular actresses, to the
being only to know and there is a great
satisfaction in feeling that as they return
again and again some help must be given,
some good done.
Does palmstry have any relation to
phrenology, astrology or physognomy ?
The same as one phase of truth to another
Nature never contradicts herself l think
To me, however. palmistry comes to a
nearer solution of the problem than any
thing else

sugar. When simply boiled they are said
to form palatable food.
Chinese sweet potatoes differ in shape,
size and color from the American product,

In the Chinese market with which Amerf-
cans are at all familiar. Their chemical
composition indicates, however, that they
possess no particular advantage over the
ordinary American varieties.
Bean cheese is prepared from the "soy
beam" which is being experimentally in
vestigated by the department, with the
idea OF introducing 1t into this country.
The beans themselves are particularly rich
In protein and fat, and are eaten and
cooked in the same manner as other beans.
The bean cheese, however. which is pc
culiarlys Chinese preparation, is prepared
from the seeds of the white variety of soy
bean. These are allowed to soak for three
hours In water, and are then reduced to
a thick paste, and the mass cooked. The
cooked mass is next strained through a
coarse cloth, milk-white liquid, rich in
protein and fat, being thus obtained. When
this Is coagulated with crude salt, con-
tanning magnesium chloride, 1t may be
kneaded into small cakes. 1t is sold either
In the form of the freshly precipitated curd
or in the form of small, square cakes OBJ

True, us palatable food"
Species of yam beans and cassava or
ginseng vegetable" as it is called by the
Chinese, are also extensively eaten by the
Chinese, and the latter fills the place that
corn meal occupies in the South. 1t is be-
Heved that this is one of the most valu-
able or the Chinese food materials and
capable of being introduced with advan-
tage into this country. Ever the Chinese
cabbage is entirely different from our own
and resembles a head of lettuce rather
more than true cabbage. consisting of a
cluster of tender white leaves, with greatly
thickened mid-ribs. Their eggplant a

bic stands during the summer months, has

chemical analysis is similar to the Amer
lean variety. Various gourd plants are
| also esteemed either as food or as condi-
| ments, principal among which are the
''leprosy gourd." the "dish cloth" or
towel gourd,'' and the Chinese preserv-
ing melon.
The peculiar horned chestnut which is
often sold by the fakirs on the streets and
in the Chinese bazaars as curiosity, on
account OF its shape, resembling as il does

| the Chinese as an article of diet being
| classed as one of the five food grains of
| China. When placed in water it readily

| of plants.
Chinese millet, which. it Is believed. will
prove an important addition to our cere-
/ ais, and various native fruits nuts and
| dried flowers, in addition to the articles
/ or food named above. make up practically
the whole of the Chinese vegetable diet.

happened to me to meet at the house of
a mutual friend daughter of the late
Major Benjamin Russell, for many years
editor of the Boston Centinel. She was a
bright, interesting woman and a brilliant
raconteur, and she told me a number of
anecdotes Of her father who was a strong
ly individualized and notable character for
a good. many years in Boston. Among
them was the following:
1.-The battle between the Chesapeake and
the Shannon took place just off the Mass
achusetts coast and sailor in some way
got ashore and hurried TO Boston with

the story. Including the death of Lawrence.

major. I'll make him say it'-and he did
