If there ever was any doubt as to
the necessity OF having representa-
tives in congress who are something
more than mere ornaments, a study
OF the present congress should dispel
that doubt. 1t rarely happens that a
Legislative body has been called upon
to face more difficult problems than
has the present congress. Some OF
these have peen discussed, a.few set
tied, but many will be left over for
tine succeeding congress. 1t is. there
fore, of vital Importance that men be
chosen for the next congress who have
the mental grasp which enables them
to deak intelligently with large prob
lens. men who can grasp principles
and discern tendencies. The second
district Of West Virginia may indeed
congratulate itself upoa having an
opportunity to send as its representa-
tive to congress a man who will not
fail TO make himself felt in legIsla-
tion. IL has in Mr.. Sturgiss a man

Speaking Of tax laws. the following
comment from the S~teubensville
Gazette may be of interest
gentleman who owns a nice
arm over the river in Brooke county,
West Virginia, received a letter yes
terday morning from the treasurer of
that county containing a check for 500
as his share Of taxes refunded on the
farm. The treasurer said that owing
to the large increase of taxable pro-
perty in the county. namely the build
ia up Of Follansbee and East Stubens-
vile bridge that the taxes were re-
duced almost 90 per cent, and the ex-
cessive amount was being returned to
the taxpayers. This honest statement
and the check almost caused the Steu-
bensville taxpayer heart failure. for
although there has been a tremendous
increase of taxable property ia Stub
seusville and vicinity for the past three
wears. yet no one has had a refunded
check, and the expenses keep pace
with the treasury. If little West
Virginia keeps this up there will be a
larger increase of taxable property
over the river, until her tax scale will
be reduced out Of sight"
Now, we thiuk that a tax law that
looks 30 well to people living outside
of the state must be a pretty good one
after all. The above will be good food
for the county court. We hope that it
will profit thereby.

Hand and Just What 1t Means

Strange as it may seem, this type has also
been found on young men who came from the
best of families, who failed to appreciate their
early blessings and preferred to go along the
lines of least resistance. The primitive type is
stranger to enthusiasm, is of heavy and slug
gish nature; an imagination asleep; he but
eats, sleeps, and dies He seeks the material
and is constantly complaining of poor times He
possesses a violent temper and is only degree
above the animal plane. CAS- is the body, SO is
the mind"
How to recognize the type. 1t is found with
the palm large thick and hard, not hard from
work, but naturally hard and coarse, even the
skin the back of the hand has coarse
grain. The fingers are short and thick, not pli-
able, and possessing no distinct tip. The mounts
of Moon and Venus usually abnormal this
part will be treated in detail in a subsequent
lesson), indicating sensualty and gross instincts.
The thumb is set quite low, and not large
(this member will be treated by itself later onl,
in some supple, showing generosity. He
often spends more than he earns. If the thumb
has a broad, flat first phalanx it indicates furi-
Gus and brutal nature, and upon the slightest
the brutality of his nature is on
the surface To the owner of such hand, life
would be ceaseless grind and the saloon the
only golden spot. He will fight to defend him
self his own with ferocity, and with a
thumb described above we would have before
us the hand of criminal, which combination
is rarely found except among the lowest type
of humanity.
The reader in order to form a correct opinion
of hand must never neglect the consistency OF
the skin, whether hard, firm, soft or flabby, as
this has much bearing upon the various shades
of character. Just how to recognize the differ
ent skin will be explained as we proceed.
The hand described in to-day's lesson and the
one in our next lesson, known as the mixed type,
are admittedly the two most difficult hands to
recognize, so do not get discouraged at the out

to fathom the strength which lies therein must
needs unfold stirring story of those with whom
he comes in contact. Be it in the drawing
room, at the theatre, on the train. in the street
car, your place of business, no matter where, you
will learn much that may save many an unpleas

bowl crust of bread on which Glove of garlic
has been rubbed. Teutons and Anglo-Saxons
have less prediction for favoring than Latin
Semitic races.
Salads should be washed and then allowed to
remain for time in ice cold water, to make
them firm and crisp.
The oil in every salad should not only be
plentiful, but also carefully distributed so that
every leaf has a varnish of it without any nota-
BILE quantity running to the base of the bowl
The addition of vinegar should be the last and
employed with sparing hand. Wine vinegar is
preferable to any other; next is malt vinegar.
Least acceptable, though chemically pure, is the
diluted acetic acid obtained from the products
of dry distillation of wood.
Some of these injunctions may seem superhuous,
but they are either unknown to Ur unobserved
by numbers of cooks, even in large establish

Many people prefer salads with oil and vinegar
only; others delicate and complicated dressings

creamy and smooth and so thick as to adhere

GERMAN EASTER SALAD
About Easter time appear forced lettuces, main
ly so called from their globuar shape. Any
salad made with them is best with simple
dressing of oil and vinegar, but bears compli-
Gated additions.
Hens eggs boiled hard, cut in quarters or
discs, turtle and plover eggs, marinaded oysters,
tails of shrimps, lobster flesh. filet of anchovies,
olives filled with forcemeat or minced nuts
make the most delicate and palatable filings.
Some French cooks add few drops of soy to
the dressing

of the hand, taking each line separately and
describing it in detail, regarding color, Depth
breaks, Irregularities, and illustrating same so
that anyone with ordinary intelligence may
easily understand and apply same to great ad-
vantage on his or her hand. These lessons will
be so arranged that they can be learned at
home without much effort.
There are seven different types of hands The
one we will consider in today's lesson is known
as the elementary or primitive hand, sometimes
called the necessary hand, since it is found prin-
cipally among the unskilled laborers. This type
no doubt is the hardest to recognize, since much
Of it still remains in the modern or more ad-
vanced hand. Here it is well to mention, by
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-01

Brussels sprouts, red or white cabbage and cauli-
flower are all toothsome and admit of artistic
treatment
Compound salads are very useful when single
ingredients are insufficient in the quantity for
the required dish. Under such circumstances a
lambs lettuce early corn salad may be mixed
with sliced potatoes and cucumbers. An Italian
mixed salad is composed of caulifower, aspara-
gus points. New potatoes, green peas, artichoke
bottoms and beet root all dressed with vinegar,
tincture of pepper, salt, aspic jelly and mayon-
naise.
SALADS MIXED WITH MEAT AND FISH
Salads with minced meat originated in Italy,
a favorite ingredient being bologna sausage.
Ok lip and tongue salad have acquired special
regulations
In place of meat the comminuted flesh of fowl,
turkey and game may be used
Salads of minced fish originated with the
Dutch and these are particularly appropriate for
Lenten fare. Those sturdy inhabitants of dilks
and dykes also compound salads of Cheddar
cheese and various roots added The COM
pound herring salad has a great reputation on
the Continent.
Among the salads made of crustaceans, lobster
salad takes first rank and requires white let
tuce heart for its foundation. 1t admits of
several appropriate additions, such hard boiled
eggs, arrayed in fanciful forms; a choice of ex-
cellent dressing is also possible, mayonnaise tax

with the principles underlying this fascinating
study need not be deceived in the temperament

The study of handreading is often scoffed and
jeered at, especially so by those who like to
brand as fraud that which they cannot under
stand. We are not always able to explain
everything upon rational grounds, or give every
why and wherefore. Here might add that it is
silly to reject everything that cannot be thus
explained. We a people possess large
amount of empirical knowledge. We know many
facts or truths that have never been explained.
For instance, life, the universe, mind electricity,
ETC., are accepted facts, yet no one has ever
thoroughly explained them, so what does it mat
ter if the following lessons do not contain the
why's and wherefores, so long as one adheres to
facts that have been verified in hundreds, yea, in
thousands of cases? For all may not

1t is proven fact that character is COM
posed of bundle of habits, which originate in
the mind and registered themselves on the body,
and as the hands are the servants to the system,
and whatever affects the system affects the
hands, consequently the hands are sure index
TO character.

hands enables to read character at
glance. More than this, you are able to read

The making of decorative Salads es.
pecially the dressing was considered quite an en-
vable art in the early days of this century. This
is illustrated by the biography of Chevalier dAl-
bignac, who is related to have developed from
royal refugee into a professional fashionable
salad maker" whom the elegant world of the
French capital employed in his specially on all
suitable occasions.
Unfortunately for the epigones, the Chevalier
has not left his recipes record, so that his
performance probably partook of the impromptu
guided by his memory and epicurean tastes.
However, we allowed a glimpse into his
repertoire by the list of the preparations which
he is related to have carried with him in his
portable laboratory.
Vinegar of different perfumes, oils with and
without the taste of fruit" cavare, truffes,
anchovies, ketchup, meat gracy and egg yolks
were among the condiments. By the practice of
his art and the sale Of his cruet-boxes he is
puted to have made very neat sum. The
moneys accumulated enabled him to spend
his last days in happy retirement.
EAT A SALAD EVERY DAY
salad is culinary preparation which
quires, besides salt and pepper or its tincture,
oil, butter, cream and common vinegar.
Salads vary with the season, and happily there
is no month of the year in which delicious and
special salad may not be concocted. During the
first days of spring in mid-Lent the appetite fags
and is exceedingly capricious. For this reason
tempting salads should be offered at least once
a day, for luncheon or dinner especially for din
ner, to eounteract the effect of the heavier foods
Salads and lettuce have been remarkably fine
and tender all winter, and the price not at all
exorbitant.
THE ART OF MAKING SALAD DRESSING
In dressing salads care should be taken to
limit the of onion and their congeners.

JUDGE HoWELL'S COURSE.

The RIchGeld Sun, which is one of
the strong country papers Of Utah
commenting upon the dastardly at.
tempt of Attorney General Breeder
and United States Marshal Spry to
frighten or coax Judge j. A. Howell
TO render a decision in the Ogden
| Councilmanic cases-in accord with
their partisan desire-says editorially:
We commend Judge Howell in the course
lie pursued in this very reprehensble Incl.
dent and all thinking people commend him
also.
That is all very well; but will that
distinguished contemporary be kind
enough to tell a waiting, yearning pub
lie just what course Judge Howell has
pursued in this matterl The whole
people of Utah stand ready to Join in
that commendation of his course, pro
vided tho course is right and provided
the general public can find out lust
what it is, So far, all that the people
of Utah have received from Judge
Howell is an intimation that he would
pursue q certain course-and then ST.
lence has enfolded Judge Howell and
his court for the space Of two weeks.
1T may be enlightening to that es-
teemed country contemporary to learn
that as the matter stands today; Judge
j. A. Howell of Ogden charged that
Attorney-General Brceden and United
States Marshal Spry attempted to in
lluence his decision. These two men
admitted the charge-one directly and
one by evasive denial The scheme
was concocted in the presence of Gov
ernor John c. Cutler-accordinr to the
statement made by one of the guilty
officials, and as corroborated by Gov
ernor Cutters refusal to deny. Judge
Howell intimated that he would bring
the two offending persons into his
court to answer for their gross con-
tempt. In the meantime friends of the
accused officials have publicly declared
that Judge Howell sent for these men
to visit him at Ogden to confer on
this case.
If Judge Howell can accept COM
mendation for his attitude-while he
remains under the stigma of the un-
contradicted charge that he was will
ing party to the contempt of his court
which he afterward exposed-it will
surprise and disappoint those thou
sands OF admiring friends who have
been waiting for some weeks for an
opportunity to herald him to the world
as judge without fear and without
reproach,
