For ten thousand years the fate Of
men has looked out through the mil
lions Of lines In the palms Of their
hands. The hands are the windows
Of thess soul instead Of the eyes. Along
the ridges, the valleys and the noun
tains Of the palm destiny was writ
ten. and there it is read if the reader
be deep in the science of palmistry.
Man is irreyocably mixed up with the
eternal, can neither So luntarily nor
nvOluntarily escape or even oppose the
inscrutable verdict Of the eternal All
things are. and the past as we'll as
the future are only local applications
used for small convenience There
are no such things In reality as up Or
down, north, east, south or west. T hey
belong to the mundane, which, com
pared with the infinite. is indeed a
trifing matter in the economy Of the

sausage maker who killed his wife,

persons ina ginable. 4 / wanted to get

The mark of cruelty, as53will$ be
seen in, the illustra ii ons, runs from the

The recent eclipse Of the sun does
not seem to have been prolific Of su-s
perstitious displays in the United
States and therefore we all the more
welcome an amusing instance related
by DIV. H. Morse. According to-
DR.. Morse, it is the custom in Cuba for
mothers to expose their young chill
dren entirely naked on the ground
during the whole time of the >obscur-
alton Of the sun or moon, in order to-
prevent their being hit by the eclipse
and, Incidentally, by any devils that.
may be lurking about. If the child
takes bronchitis, it is .hit;" if it es-
capes, it is blessed This supersti-
lions chung to a Cuban woman living
in New Jersey. She accordingly ex-'
posed her two infants, aged 8 months
and IA months, respectively, during
the whole eclipse, with the result that
the unfortunate innocents both took
severe bronchitis. The husband, go
ing for the doctor, announced, in terser
Spanish, that "a mother and two
daughters are three devils for IA
Their. -. At the same time the priest
was summoned, and he, being a level
headed and good natured Irishman,.
lost no time in saying prayers, but took
the. Doctors prescription to the drug
store to have filled. Fortunately no
harm resulted, for the babies, after
severe illness, recovered. The mother,
of course, believed that they had been
hit by the eclipse and gave all the
credit for their cure, not to the doctor,
but to the priest, and especially for the
splendid 'holy water which he had
brought, and which was the Doctors
prescription for eucalyptol!
