FURIES IN THE ARENA.
The wrestling Matches Between wo-
men In Japan.

Describing wrestling match be-
tween women In Japan. a writer says:
"The wrestlers arranged themselves in
two sides, each led by a captain. They
sat cross legged around the platform
In the dirt, all but the two chosen to
begin, who advanced into the center
with the umpire. They squatted upon
their feet aud bowed to each other
slowly and solcmnly. Polteness thus
being fulfilled, they stood up again and
bent over opposite one another like
two gamecocks. watching intently for
chance to seize an advantage. Dur
ing the prelmnsries the audience was
tense with expectation. Then suddenly
the women sprang, Kissing at each
other furiously and gnashng their
teeth, at first by Stimulating ferocity to
spur themselves up to greater excite
ment, but, after few clutches. In
deadly feminine earnest. the umpire
meanwhile buzzing close to them as
they swayed around tire narrow ring.
"Any and all holds seemed fair means
to the end of pushing combatant over
the eege. Sometimes with clean
throw one woman landed her opponent,
sprawlng, in the midst of her friends.
This was the signal for the umpire To
begin, 'Hitotsu, futatsu, mitsu, yotsu,
ltsusu' Zone, two, three, four, fve), in
a series of irregular and disconnected
sQueaks, and before he ceased count
ing another wrestler from the losing
side jumped up to meet the champion
who stood painting, kissing and splitting
like boiling kettle In tlre center of the
arena.
"Thls tirac there were no prelimi
naries. A wild rush, and like two fu
ries or two beasts the women werS
struggling again. Some affected qlcl
clutches, gone locked their sdversaric'
In their ssrms and stood stock still fo
full FIVE minutes. Some picked ~
their opponents almost nit once ant
threw them bodily over the ring. Will,
others relied over with them" m."-Chicag,

best for the purpose. Lot him take out

Then let them be taken out and dried

lea The chippAaxee, which has the
hand most nearly resembling the hu.
man, shows the greatest weakness and
want of intelligence In It's undersized
short thumb. And In the human race
the long thumb may be taken as indl-
eating the more intellectual nature.
The shorter the thumbs the more bru-
tai and passion governed the nature.
The relative length OF the Joints also
plays an important part. The first In.
dicates the will power, the second de-
notes judgment, reason and logic, and
the third, which controls the monnt
OF Venus, Indicates the affections and
love of fellow beings. In a we'll bal
anced nature the FIRST and second
joints are about of equal length. This
indicates wholesome adjustment be-
tween the judgment and the will. II,
however, the FIRST joint is longer than
the second the will exceeds the judg-
ment. and the person Is likely to be
stubborn and often acts without rea-
son. When the second Joint is the
longer q person plans better than I've
executes In this way he often gets
the reputation Of being visionary and
Is frequently full of schemes which he
lacks the will to carry out.
The third Joint, or ham," OF the
hand when too thick Indicates ungov-
ernable passions and an inordinate
love of the opposite sex. Such a per.
son will be hail fellow well met" a
boon companion, but is likely TO neg.
lect the intellectual demands both of
his home and his other self.
When the second joint Is Thin and
small in circumference as compared
with the first II is said to indicate
