TIE TELLTALE THUMB.
~ lff,srks and Lines and Tfs Signal
From the Brain.

h marks and Lines and Its Signal
From the Brain.
A tremendous amount of nonsense
has been written about thumb marks.
1t is claimed that the curious skin con-
nguraiion on the ball of the thumb is
never the same in any two people and
that IL never changes. The first state
menr is correct, and the same thing can
be said of the lines on the palm and
the ,creases ON the bottom of the feet
But the assertion that the thumb marks
never change throughout life is a de-
cided ,sxaggeration. The alteration may
come from a variety of causes-any-
thing, in fact, that will destroy the
outer layer of skin.
Another modifying cause is the tend.
ency Of the thumb to develop little
horizontal creases as one grows old
This ID especially true Of mechanics and
other working people who use tools,
and eventually the creases will break
ND the lines to such an extent that 1t
Is equivalent almost to rearrange-
ment Of the pattern. Specialists In
nerve diseases by an examination or
the thumb can tell If the patient is
affected or likely to be affected by
paralysis, as the thumb signals this
long before it is visible In any other
part Of the body. If the danger symp-
toms are evidenced there, an operation
is performed on what is known as the
"thunlb center OF the brain, and the
disorder is often removed.
No matter how carefully the individ-
ual may attempt to conceal incipient in
sanity, the thumb will reveal it fnfal-
iibly. It is the one sure test. If the
patient In his daily work permits the
thumb, to stand at a right angle to the
other fingers or to fall hstless into the
palm, taking no part in his writing, his
handling Of things, his multiform du'
ties, hut standing isolated and sulky, II
is an unanswerable confession of men
tai disease.-Kansas City Independent

POULTRY POINTERS.

A dark comb is an indication OF
congested state Of the system.
Lard that dries quickly after a rain
is well adapted to poultry raising.
When one does not care to raise
chickens, it is better on the score of
economy to keep the layers without
cocks.
See that the hens are well developed
and not too fat. Mate them to males
also well developed, and the chicks will
be all right
When the hens are too fat, reduce
them in flesh by giving them shorter
ratiolls and give more bulky and less
fatteiiing food.
Fowls appreciate good food as well
as other animals, but it is unwise to
limit them to one kind, be it ever SO
good or wholesome.
Crude petroleum thickened to prop
err consistency with red or brown min
eral paint is good to use on the outside
of poultry houses and other farm build
ings.
Bone and grit Of some kind are an
absolute necessity to fowls confined in
small yards and unable to supply them
selves with these little items always
obtaiIlable by birds at liberty.

How often do we hear the remark,
1--WE shall have rain. the atmosphere
is Sc heavy" The reverse is true.
When one sees smoke hanging from a
chimney, with a tendency to sink to
the ground. it indicates that the at
mosphere is light-in fact. too light to
float the smoke. When the smoke
rises from the chimney, it indicates a
heavy atmosphere. A column of smoke
is not bad barometer, for barometer
simply records the pressure of the at
mosphere. When the atmosphere is
light and the smoke settles, the pres
sure on the mercury is light. and the
column falls, indicating storm When
the atmosphere is heavy and the smoke
rises. the pressure is greater and the
column rises, indicating fair weather.

starting out should therefore watch

How much wretchedness and misery
there is in the world Do you add to it
or do you try to help those with whom
you come in contact? Every time you
speak, every time you act, you add to
some ones happiness or misery. On
which side do you throw your influ-
ence? Your opportunities may not be
great, but do you ever cause unneces-
sary suffering in a world wretched
enough at best? 1t is worth thinking
about. Do you say cruel things when
you might say things that would be
kind? If you have the habit, doesn't it
sometimes occur to you that you should
quit 1t? The writer of this has been
thoughtless many times, but as he
grows older he tries very hard to avoid
giving unnecessary pain. = Atchison

her husband she would fail to achieve
the greatness fate intended for her.
She stayed away from home only four
weeks, however.
