EXPRESSION OF THE HAND.
People May Control Their Coun-
tenances, But Not the Touch
of Their Palms.

The handshake of some people makes
you think of accident and sudden death,
says Helen Keller. in "A Chat About the
Hand" in Century. Contrast this ILL
boding hand with the quick, skilltul.
quiet hand OF nurse whom | remem-
ber with affection because she took the
best care Of my teacher. have clasped
the hands of some rich people that spin
Tot and toll not, and yet are not beauti-
full. Beneath their sCft. smooth round
ness what chaos OF undeveloped char
acter!
All this is my private science Of PALM
istIy, and when l tell your fortune it is
by no mysterious intuition or gypsy
witchcraft, but by natural eXplicable
recognition of the embossed character
in your hand. Not only is the hand as
easy to recognize as the face, but it re-
Neals its secrets more openly and un-
consciously. People control their coun-
tenances, but the hand is under no such
restraint. 1t relaxes and becomes list
less when the spirit E low and detected;
the muscles tighten when the mind is
excited or the heart glad; and perma-
nent qualities stand written on 1t all the
time.
AS there are many beauties Of the face,
so the beauties of the hand are many.
Touch has its ecstasies. The hands of
people Of strong individuality and sensl-
tiveness are wonderfully mobile. In a
glance of their finger-tips they express
many shades Of thought. Now and again
l touch a fine, graceful, supplewristed
hand which spells with the same beauty
and distinction that you must see in the
handwriting of some hly-cultivated
people. l wish you could see how pref
tily little children spell in my hand.
They are wild flowers of humanity, and
their finger motions wild flowers OF

Dirty face and dirty hands of small

other day caused the teacher to start
a little inquiry as to the frequency of
baths among the pupils. The answers
came back from the latter and told Of
baths once week to once in two weeks
and a few from once a year to once in
two years. Finally the question came
to small boy that had looked very puz-
zled through the whole discussion. His
answer was: II never had but one bath
and that was when l went in swimming

Atlantic seaboard last night was buried
beneath snow drifts ranging from TO

With the wind bowling along at a

st. Petersburg. Jan. &c --tiov Gen.
Trepoif and Minister of Finance Koz-
ovsetf issued IL proclamation last night
which reveals the governments plan
for breaking the strike throughout
Russia The proclamation is conceived
in paternal tone and points out that
honest wOrkmen who want to better
their condition should have brought
their demands to the government, in
stead of having been misled by agita-
tors into attiliating with u movement
which is not confined to economic
questions.
1t asks them to return to work,
promising them, in the empcror's
name, revision of the general laws SO
as to provide a reduction in the hours
OF labor, the institution for a plan for
state insurance, and otherwise to meet
their demands so far as the law will
permit, and guarantee them protection
against interference by agitators. This
document will be followed either by an
imperial manifesto along the Same
lines, in the hope of preventing the
spread of the strike, or by specific pre-
parations by the local authorities
wherever strikes arc in progress.
In promising to reduce the hours of
labsr, which now legally are eleven in
Russia, the authorities believe they
will meet the main grievance of the
work ngmen. This,i ogether with tho
guarantee of protection, the authori-
ties hope will induce those strikers
who are Indifferent to POLITICAL de-
demands, and which class they declare
constitutes great bulk of men, to re-
sumo work

At the Palace Square.
When the correspondent arrived at the
palace square early Sunday morning he
found a considerable crowd OF demon
strators already lining the ratings of
the admiralty garden and the boule-
ward. The square itself presented the ap-
pearance OF military encampment.
The crowd OF strikers in and outside
the admiralty gardens continued to
grow hourly, swelled by arrivals from
the Nevsky Prospect which touches
upon the boulevard skirting the gardens.
The strikers manned and held q small
edifce at the corner of the gardens and
poured out constant objurgations and
reproaches at the troops. 1t was in vain
that officers requested them to disperse.
Bridge Cleared.
Every time the troops moved the
strikers hissed them. Strikers also
gathered at the entrance of the grand
Norskaia and of the avenue leading to
the Moika canal. The crowd at the lat
ter place swelled to huge proportions,
blocking the bridge across the canal.
The order came at 1870 p. m. to clear
them off. The colonel commanding the
horse guards uttered short. sharp COM
mand the troopers drew their swords
and advanced at a quick trot, and then
broke into gallop, heading straight
for the MoilSa. where they were lost in
a cloud of snow. Shrieks from the
wounded resounded. Then came dead

of ambulance horses.
Charge Is Ordered.
The next 20 minutes passed without
incident. Nothing indicated the ap-
proach Of the horrible butchery which
was destined to stain the corner of the
admiralty gardens with human blood.

move on. clamoring for the emperor,
and continually hurting abuse at the

A state of siege prevails and orders
have been issued that the people who
leave their houses do so at the risk of

tants are fleeing from the city or barri-
cading themselves in their homes. 9th
ers are marooned in hotels.
Fighting Renewed.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 25.-The fighting
in the streets has been renewed. The
mob is hurting bombs at the troops and
the latter are firing upon the crowds.
The cavalry is charging on the excited
throngs in the streets. No quarter is
being granted, Many of the soldiers, it
is reported, have been killed and scores
wounded. At a council of ministers,
hurriedly called, it was decided to make
no concessions, but to apply the most
rigid measures of repression.

Petersburg on Sunday.
Maxim Gorky and several liberal lead
ers who visited the ministers in an ef-
fort to avert Sundays conflict are said
to be under arrest and threatened with
death by hanging.
Serious Situation in Moscow.
The situation confronting the military
authorities at Moscow is much more SER
ious than that in st. Petersburg. Out Of
over 100000 inhabitants of Moscow,
over two-thirds are workmen, including
an exceedingly rough and turbulent ele-
ment. The troops are fewer, and the city
does not lend itself, like st. Petersburg,
to natural barriers to prevent the con-
gregation of men. The center of the
town has no bridges and no canals, and
hills and narrow streets make it diff
cult for trorops to act. Only the gates
piercing the walls of the old Chinese
town which surrounds the Kremlin
would afford the military natural places
to bar demonstrators.
