Jerry was as smart q newspaper re

There were three of us who became

city editor had said point blank ani

What the Fingers Tell.

AS far as the fingers are concerned
palmists divide hands into three class
es. .........
First come those with long, slender
and tapering fingers. A person with
such fingers has an innate love Of art.
poetry and music and probably also for
literature.
In the second class the fingers are
shorter, nearly equal in length and
with blunt tips. They show practical
mind of a rather commonplace order,
thorough and reliable rather than bril-.
liant. A woman with fingers Of this
description would make a good house
keeper, while man similarly provided
would be cautious and thorough in
business.
] In the third section come hands with
short, thick and square looking fingers.
with short, wide nails cushioned at the
sides. The owner of such fingers is
probably strong and active, with a
hearty appreciation of the good things
LOT this life AID a keen eye to his OWL
interest He is seldom hampered in his
undertakings by difidence and rarely
errs in thinking too much Of the feel
ings and interests of others.

Why Pyramids Were Built,

" The interest of the Delhi and Bena-
res observatories lies for us in the fact
that they recall a time far in the past
when astronomers sought for exact
ness by the erection of huge structures
of stone. Of these the great pyramid
is by far the greatest and most perfect
example. Britain has it's own monu-
ment - Stonehenge-w which has been
claimed as, if not indeed, an astronom-
ical temple, and many attempts have
been made to determine the date at
which it was erected. The difficulty,
not to say the impossibility, Of solving
this problem in the present state ofsthe
monument may be inferred from the
fact that the dates which different
careful observers have deduced for it's
erection extend over a period of more
than 1000 years, says a writer in
knowledge.
The real work Of astronomy was
never done in edifices like those. Nor
indeed does it require much knowledge
Of human nature, essentially the same
5000 years ago as today, to see that
the true secret of the pyramid, the am
ply sufficient cause for its building,
was the vanity of the ruling pharaoh.
Alike at Delhi, at Gizeh and on Sails
bury plain, as by the Euphrates, to
make a name" was the exciting mo-
tive. Astronomers may have been en-
ployed to superintend the work, astron-
omy, or the cult of the celestial bodies,
may have been the excuse, but the real
object was advertisement.
