as thoughtless frivolous, and sometimes
foolish.
The philosophers hand is knottv
wrinkled and rough. This seems to be
little out of keeping with the work of a
man Of learning-a student, but the law
of hands has so catalogued it.
The hand of one of the criminal class
is most easily disting' :ished In form it
is pugiistic, rough, with lal ge knuckles
and stubby fingers. It denotes a low
standard of character the very lowest in
fact. The man possessing the criminal
hand Is given to almost entirely to vile
thoughts and acts.
The gamblers hand is something on
the order of the artistic. The fingers
while not so long are very flexible and in
action quick and dexterous. That is why
the gambler is able to work the games"
which upon their face appear so simple,
and are yet SO hard. The hand that deals
the cards and fingers chips is almost In
dividual in its type. It is cross between
the artistic and the criminal
The lazy hand is another specimen
easily distinguished. In most respects 1t
is soft and flabby, perhaps the absence of
work produces the effect. The fingers
may be Of ordinary length, but they are
made, to appear shorter, and at the same
time the palm Of the hand larger, by
that fieshy, flabby condition of the
6igits.
There are numerous other styles Of
hands. The inventive hand, the thought
less hand, the methodical hand, the lov-
ing hand. etc.
AS already stated 1t is possible for
any one to read the character in the
hands Of his neighbor. not after the man
yler of the palmist but by single glance
at the general shape and style.
It will not be uncomon in the future
for people who wish the secrets their
hands will tell to be kept from the gaze
of the vulgar populace to wear gloves on
all occasions. If this becomes the style,
as Is not unlikely. there will be genera!
dissatisfaction.

OF 1mpersonating an officer. 1t may be
that foreigners who come to this country
are fieeced themselves or have friends
who have been treated in this way, and
have thus learned how profitable bust
ness may be made Of this sort of knavery.
AT any rate, it is foreigners who have
learned the crimes as we'll as the Ian
guage of America, who go systematically
to work to rob their fellow countrymen.
Perhaps they see in this way method
Of getting rich quickly, which is nearer
to a realization Of the dreams, which
brought them here than any other occu-
patton they have found.
Railroad immigrant inspectors attend to
getting foreigners from one train to. an
other or starting them on the right road
to friends in the city Of their destination.
They are not responsible for man after
he has left the station, and 1t is then
that he is met by smooth-tongued sharps
who would secure his money. 1t may be
wondered whether the average immigrant
carries enough money or private property
6f value to make him q profitable victim
Of niulct. Some few OF them arrive at
their destination with only few cents,
or maybe dollar or two, but these are
the exception rather than the rule. Most
of them have from $50 to $3.50, or occa-
sionally more, when they arrive at New
York or some other ports, and take from
this only sufficient to pay their travelling
expenses inland. When 1t is remembered
that several hundred Of them come to
Pittsburg every day during the summer,
either to stop off or go farther West, 1t is
easily seen that an adept can make quite

the one most useful for the painter, the
musician or the actor.
Almost in line with the artistic hand
comes that of the idealist.
1t is Of the same delicate shapeliness,
and while lacking the talent for art or
music it distinctly marks the individual
who dreams, who idealizes. AS plainly as
If the character of the person were writ
ten upon his sleeve, this hand sets forth
his failings and his virtues. his trend Of
thought and channel of action.
Almost the very antithesis of the hand
of the idealist is that of the avaricious
man or woman.
AS far as character is concerned their
hands contain nothing Of the artistic or
idealic, providing that the abnormal pro-
pensity for acquiring money cannot be
called an art And in most cases the hand
delineates most truthfully the character.
It is rather smaller that is, the fingers
are not SO long. and they are curved and
bent In looking at them one is I'm
pressed with the idea of "grasping." They
belong to the man or woman who is ut
terly selfish in the acquisition of this
worlds goods; to the person who knows
little of the finer or better things of life.
The hand Of the man who is very pru-
dent is distinguished by it's square effects;
1t has the appearance Of having been
nodded in box and of being rather out
Of proportion.
1t is a systematic hand, hand that
seems to have been planned after Sc
we're and eminently practical model. This
is the man. phlegmatic, commonplace,

all routine; but he thrives on monotony,
and seldom Graves change.
The man with the active hand Is in the
same class. And the hand resembles that
of the prudent man to a great extent
There is one exception, the fingers must
be spatulate, that Is. rounded and almost
square at their points. 1t denotes an 40
tive, energetic character. The man with
this kind of hand is never satisfied when
idle. He must be doing something all the
time.
What is called the frivolous hand is
one with conical shaped fingers we'll

who has never been used to hard or

cal in shape. BY it's very air of culture
and refinement it is recognizable, no mat
ter what the circumstances of its owner
may be- 1t is a hand very much sought
after especially by the social set, and it
is hand hard to acquire. The fingers,
by careful training, may be moulded into
fair semblance of artistic form, but the

Society women, and sometimes men,
have been known to spend small fortunes
with that contingent of manicure artists
who claim almost anything for the sake
of trade. But do what they would, little

A GOOD WORD FOR cuBA.

Representative, Brantley of this state
got an opportunity on Tuesday to say
something in favor of reciprocity with
presented about all of the arguments
there are in favor of lending the Gu
ban people a helping hand. 1t is prob
able that he understands the needs of
the Cuban people pretty well, having
visited Cuba and made a study of the
situation there.
Mr.. Brantley Is of the opinion that
this country is under obligations to
give the Cuban planters a chance TO
sell their sugar in our market at a
more than the actual cost of produc-
ton, transportation and marketing. He
called attention to the fact that at
the present price of sugar in New York
as much as one and half cents a
pound could not be realized after pay
ing the duty. We are bound, said Mr..
Brantley. to stand by Cuba until she
has a stable government. 1t will be
a long while before she has such a
government if her products do not re-
turn enough to pay the cost of it and
to feed her people.
Mr.. Brantley also called attention to
the understanding which exists rela-
tive to reciprocity based upon the
Plat amendment. 1t seems that the
Cubans were promised that if they
would put the Platt amendment in
their constitution such reciprocity
would be granted them as would en-
able them to send their sugar to our
market on a basis that would leave

time for those who are RESPONSIBLE
for this promise to come forward

their power to relieve the situation of
much of the uncertainty which sur
rounds it.

to be a reduction Of the tariff on Gu

Trying the rural life a whirl.)
She covered a box with tinsel gay,
Lined it snugly with new mown hay,
Filled it nicely with eggs, and then
Started to look for a likely hen.
Out of the flock selected one,
And then she thought that her work
was done.
1t would have been. but this stubborn
stood UP and cackled '"Ka-doot!" and
Maud Muller came. and in hurt sur
prise
Looked coldly into the creatures eyes;
Then tied its legs to the box. You

But still it stood, and worse and worse
Shrieked forth its wrongs to the uni

And ANONYMOUSLY tapped away.

The other day in a Brooklyn pulpit
a clergyman, who lives in Brooklyn,
administered a severe roasting to Dis
trict Attorney Jerome of New York.
He said that he had worked for Mr..
Jerome and voted for him, and the
church people had elected him to office,
with the anticipation that something
would be done to put a stop to the
evils Astounding in the city; and yet
there had been no abatement of the
evils in Brooklyn. The preacher made
1t plain that he regarded Mr.. Jerome
as a man who had failed to keep his
political promises. After the sermon a
newspaper man was so unkind as to
go to the preacher and ask if he meant
all that he said. The meaning was
affirmed. Then the reporter said that
really Mr.. Jerome should not be held
responsible for conditions in Brooklyn,
since he was district attorney only for
New York county and had no jurisdic-
ton in Brooklyn; that he could not
cross the bridge to hunt crime. The
preacher had neglected his municipal
geography.
