EARLY HOME OF AGASSIZ.

A traveller going thirty miles direct
ly north from the rorthernmost point
of Lake Geneva, Switzerland, would
arrive at the retired and interesting
village of Motiers. He would also
learn there by inquiry that he is just
forty miles directly west of Bern, the
capital of the Swiss republic. This
little village of Motiers looks mucn
like other villages in Europe, but if
the traye'tr happens to be an Ameri-
can he will soon learn that he has
found friends who know how to well
come h,m.
In this little town the celebrated
Swiss naturalist, lecturer and teacner.
Jean Louis Rudolph Agassiz, was born
il 1907. His greatest fame was
achieved after he came to America in
1876 That year he was given pro-
fessorship in Harvard College. Cam
bridge His great abilities were at
once recognized by the leading liter
ary men of the day, and he at once
took a prominent place among the
educators and authors Of the world,
All Americans Welcome.
The kindness with which he was
received by the people of the United
States is remembered to this day
with gratitude by the inhabitants Of
that unique Swiss village. They are
the descendants of the people who
knew Agassiz when he was a boy.
For over fifty years the children OF
that village have been told again and
again the story of Louis AgassiZ. who
went away one day to school, found
his way to the United States and
there made a name so great that
Thousands each year are attra acted to

ert Burns. That is why the inhabi
tants Of Motiers reserve the best for
the American traveller.
Agassiz was the son of Swiss
Protestant clergyman He had the
very best advantages offered by the
school Of Europe. He improved all
his opportunities. The biographies of

For a summer evenings entertain
ment there is nothing more amusing
than a fortune-telling party. All like
to have their fortunes told. even II
they do not believe in it. There IS
something amusing and mystifylng III
peering into the future. to hear the
first notes of the song that is still un-
sung or the dirge that is yet to be
chanted.
You who may be a hostess at any
time try the new fad of telling TOR
tunes from the finger tips. 1t is like
the reading of the future from the
hands or the lips, but it will furnish
enough amusement to while away an
evening. .
Here are the rules FOR the new game
OF the seeress:
When studying finger tips, or phal-
angology, as it is called, the length
of the tips above the ball of the fin
ger must be noted. Unusual length
shows that a woman coVets power,
and she usually gets it.
Very jolly and gay at times is the
woman with the tips of her first fn-
ger showing lines extending from one
side to the other, absolutely unbrok-
en-. except by the cushion. The point
ed or tapering first finger usually in
Gates one who is quick to grasp an
idea and receptive of new impressions.
The pointed second finger, with fine
lines, shows one decidedly optimistic;
is very pointed frivolous, fond OF gos-
sip, and on whom sorrows make but
little impression. She is as irrespon-
sible as butterfly.
The fourth finger. if ringed with
lines near the tip, and quite pointed,
indicates one quick at repartee, witty
and diplomatic. II the finger is
smooth. or not lined with marks, or
if it is square-tipped and rather heavy
the possessor is fond of praise, nor is
flattery unwelcome.
The square little finger shows one
who would rather do thing herself
than try to snow others. She finds
it difficult to put the knowledge into
verbal expression and is prone to say
tic wrong thing a. II. wrong time.

never to hang delicate articles, such
as handkerchiefs or collars on the

whipped to shreds by the wind. but
there is danger of their being blown

to place all small articles in a pillow

Agassiz and longfellow.

1t may be of interest to the reader
of this sketch to know that Agassiz
and Longfellow were born the same
year, aEI although over three thous-
and miles of ocean lay between them
at birth. it is significant that they
were both drawn to the same city in
middle life. lived near each other in
warmest friendship. and the earthly
ZEN air, of each new rest in the same
cemetery.
On the evening of May Is, 1857. the
literary friends of Agassiz surprised
him by calling at his home in body
to celebrate his fiftieth birthday. 1t
was for that occasion that Longfellow
wrote his well-known poem entitled
The Fiftieth Birthday of Agassiz."

Many Of his philosophical aphorlsms
have become classical. One of his
wisest sayings was Every great
scientific truth goes through three
stages. First people say it conflicts
With tie Bible; next they say it has
been discovered before; lastly, they
say that they always believed it."
His faith in the school of nature was
a passion with him. The one ambition
to whics lie he.1 tenaciously through
crt all the years Of his busy life was
the establishment of permanent
school where geological science could
be studied. not from dead specimens,
hut rom the everyday life of the
a'i1a;,]s in their forest haunts.
Through the generosity OF his
friend. John Anderson, wealthy man
of New York. he was able to estab-
lish an institution of this kind in 1873.
Mr. Anderson gave to Agassiz for this
purpose the entire island of Penikese,
which is located in Buzzard's Bay, and
also gave him as an initial endowment
fund the sum of 50,000
Another wealthy friend presented
him with fine yacht of eighty tons
burden to be used in dredging the
waters surrounding this beautiful
summer home of the inha abitants of the
forest. If Agassiz had lived long
enough to bring to full fruitage all his
plans he would have left Tie physical

garnered. He died on September IA,
