Among the Boers there are hundreds of Freemasons. and not a few of them belong to English lodges.
 "It is well known fact out here" writes British trooper from Middleburg. "tha. if soldier who is a Mason hap pens to be made prisoner by the Boers he is treated much better than his non- Masonic confreres.
 "One particular case" he says. "was of the imperial yeomanry who was cap- tured in the Orange River Colony He had been trekking as prisoner with lis men for many days. when in some mysterious way he intlmdted to the Boer commandant that he was a Mason. From that day until the prisoners arrived near the Natal border every possible kind- ness was shown him. On arriving near a British camp the commandant came to him one evening and offered him his freedom. also q horse and a Cape cart. with a guide. if he wished to escape un- der cover of the darkness. This. hSw- ever. the officer refused, saying that he would not use Masonry for such a pur- pose and preferred rather to stay with his men.
 Almost all the old Transvaal Govern ment officials are Masons, and even away in the widest parts of the veldt each little village has its Masonic lodge."

MIND READ BY HAND
THE CRIMINALS INNERMoST
 THOUGHTS REVEALED
By Shape of Fingers-New Method Discovered by Chicago Judge. The Perjurer's Hand Easy
 To Be Recognized.

A new method of determining the char acter of the subject from his hand mas been discovered by one of the Chlcago Criminal Court judges. The fact that the measurement of the middle nnger glVes the best means of Identification has long been recognized and is now in use the world over. The neasuremeht anoros more certain means than the best or photographs or description ot criminals that the police officials can get. The the ory of the judge referred to is that the hands indicate the character ana that they are more to be relied on than the face for the reason that people from long being accustomed to the idea that others try to read their faces control the muscular movement of the latter so that 1t deceiVes even experts. Not so with the hands Even if he were conscious of 1t. 1t is doubtless If ths most expert criml- nal could so control his hands as 10 de- stroy the tell-tale marks and indications of character that are there displayed to the initiated like the page of an open book says The Chicago Chronicle.
 It Is claimed that the passing emotions as we'll as the general character of the subject are betrayed by the motions shape and manner of holding the hands. The judge who Is responsible for the theory, calls it expression of hand emo tion." He says he has made study of it for several years and has formulated rules for interpreting the signs that are never failing. From the hands of crimi- nals or witnesses who come before him he is able to read the character and to arrive at a knowledge as to what is past Ing in their minds at the time. These same men, ninety times out of hum dred. are able to so control their faces that they are either blank masks to the observer or else they convey a wrong i'm pression of the passions that are surging underneath the exterior.
 The plan pursued to read man by his hands is to watch how he holds these members when he is engaged in doing certain things. By applying the knowl- edge of the new way to read the human mind the judge says that he is enabled to determine whether the witness is tell ing the truth or not.
 False Witness Easily Known.
 The perjurer's hand Is easy to recog- nize When the witness is speaking the truth and is making no effort to conceal anything. his hands hang loosely at hls side or behind his back, or are quietly

catarrh Cured at Home
A Practical Common-Sense Treat ment Has Been Discovered That Can be Used by the
 Patient at Home.

A neglected cold lays the foundation for catarrh; neglected catarrh lays the Foundation for consumption. Dr. Blos- ser's Catarrh Cure will break up the cold, cure the catarrh and prevent consump- ton.
 The symptoms of catarrh are. a dis charge, which is either blown from the nose or runs back and drops into the throat; dull headache; stopped up feeling in the nose and head; extreme liability to take cold. etc. It often leads to noises in the head. deafness, sore throat. bronchitis, asthma, indigestion and consumption.
 Dr. Blosser's Catarrh Cure is the best remedy known to medical science for these diseases. It cures 95 out of every 100 cases. The cost Is only $1.00 for a box by mail, containing one months treatment It is so simple and pleasant that even child can use it.
 If you suffer from any of the above troubles, yoI should begin the proper treatment at once.
 Samples Mailed Free.
 Dr. Blosser will send to any sufferer a free trial sample, by mail. Write for his self-examination consultation blank, and if you wish special advice, there will be no extra charge. Address Dr. J. w. Blosser & Son. 312 Broad Street, Atlanta, Ga.

crossed before him. But when he is giv- ing false evidence the thumb is bent and the fingers are crooked.
 If you will observe a criminal in the dock who is charged with great crime he will hold out his hands with the fin gers more widely separated and pos ture not so repellant.
 Nearly every one will recognize the grasping hand. It, however, is not al ways an evidence of avarice, and will be seen in most beggars.
 That the hand should be expressive Of emotion may seem surprising to most people, but 1t Is easily explained. when you consider that every muscle in the body is moved by an impulse from the brain the reason for the expressiveness of the hand is apparent. There are large number of muscles in the hand, which are used for closing and opening them and moving them sidewise. When the brain is healthy and the mind Is calm all the muscles are acted upon equally. When the brain of child is healthy and the child is asked to hold out his hand he holds out a symmetrical organ. But if the brain is more or less disturbed there will be more or less dis tortions of the hand. Thus one who does very little brain work, very little think ing on profound subjects, will hold out a hand somewhat like the child's. showing a calm mind. But after hard days work he will probably drop the thumb, which would be an indication of fatigue.
 TnOSe WnO nave StudleQ the way people hold their hands will tell you that 1t is a much better index of mental phenom- ena than is the face upon which most people rely. but which is often deceitful. Anyone who cares to make few ob- servations, verify the following facts:
 First. select a man whom you know has intelligence above the average, per- son who is gifted with executive ability, and you will find that he has a strong. firm. well shaped hand, full of character.
 Second. take one whom you know has only sufficient intelligence to eat. drink. sleep and do manual labor; examine his hand and you will find 1t short, clumsy and thickset. Sometimes ill-shaped or with twisted fingers. Look for peculiari- ties; you will find them. Follow this practical information. 1t will help you:

 Scientists have found in dissecting fin- ger tips of the blind that they contain brain cells of perception, or gray matter of which the brain is composed. The wonderful perception and keen sensitive ness of the hands of the blind have long been an interesting study and science is at last demonstrating the cause of such a fine perception of the touch A physi- clan assisting in an autopsy on a person blind from birth found that the inner sur face of the index finger contained a most complex and delicate raESitication of nerve twings in immense quantities. branching from the main stem.

 There is often foul taste in the mouth. coated tongue and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy infamed condition.
 The cure for this common and obstinate trouble Is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is se- cured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
 According to Dr. Harlanson, the safest and best treatment is to use after each meail a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not being patent medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals.
 MT. N. J. Booher, Chicago, H., writes: "Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, where by the lining membrane of the nose be- comes unframed and the poisonous dis charge therefrom passing backward into the throat reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
