Physiological Autographs.

Every human being carries with him
from his cradle to his grave certain
physical marks which do not change
their character and by which he can
always be identified, and that without
shade Of doubt or question. These
marks are his signature, his physiolog-
ical autograph, so to speak, and this
autograph cannot be counterfeited, nor
can he disguise it or hide it away, nor
can 1t become illegible by the wear and
the mutations Of time.
This autograph consists of the deli
cate lines or corrugations with which
nature marks the inSides of the hands
and the soles of the feet. If you will
look at the balls of your fingers. you
that have very sharp eyesight, you will
observe that these dainty curving lines
lie close together. like those that indi-
cate the borders of oceans in maps, and
that they form various clearly defined
patterns, such as arches, circles, long
curves, whorlS and so forth, and that
these patterns differ on the different
tingers.-"puddn head Wilson,

suited a specialist to see what could be
done for her. The specialist told her
he thought he could improve her eyes,.
but the operation would be painful.
She consulted her husband to learn
whether he would advise the operation.

WATERFALLS IN JAPAN,
They Are Almost Countless and Are
Used ~ Shrines.

Used ~ Shrines.
The waterfalls of japan are almost
countless. There is one at every turn,
and where there was not one in the
beginning the Japs have made one, for
it is their passion. Every little garden
has fall or two and it would not be
considered garden at all without it.
There are many very beautiful ones in
various parts Of the country, and they
are all of them shrines visited by
thousands of pilgrims every year. They
do not pray to them as to a statue of
Buddha, but they first pass up a little
paper prayer on convenient rock and
then sit down in rapt attention and
gaze at the falling water for hours, TAX
ing an occasional cup of tea at little
teahouse which always stands close at
hand.
The Japs are great at making pill
grimages anyway. When a man has
reached the age of forty-five. he is sup
posed to have raised family which
will in the future take care of him.
About the first thing he does on retir-
Sometimes he joins band of fellow
pilgrims, or, if comparatively wealthy,
he sometimes takes his wife and a mi
nor child and makes the pilgrimageS by
himself. These pilgrim bands can al
ways be seen moving about the coun-
try. They carry little banners with the
name of their city and district marked
on them, and when they have received
good entertainment at Il teahouse or
hotel they hang one of their banners up
in a conspicuous place as testimonial.
Often a band of pilgrims will travel
from one end of the country to the 9th
er, visiting every temple and waterfall
in the land.
Austria was the first country to adopt
the system of postal cards. This was
in 1869.
