by other authority is the influence leaning upon

sef-made individual, where fingers were per-
fectly smooth in early life, say up to about 21
years of age.
From this period knots began to appear upon the
fingers, due to change of mental condition, a fact
true beyond a doubt. When considering these,

and when they do, they use wealth largely Tor
others, they are unselfsh and self-denying.
They possess marked personality and are often
looked upon peculiar in their habits. They
have strange longing for the unique and Oriental
things; are often great collectors of curios, and
see beauty in things thai weird and fantastic,
whereas the square hand would look upon such
with disgust. They collect these odd things
simply because they are different from those
which other people own.
The possessors of philosophic hands, if the
palm be firm and the head line straight, act al

different from others, careful over little matters
even in the use of little words, fastidous as to
their eating; they desire linen that is immacu

pretty dishes appeal to them more than their
contents. 1t is the way things are served that
pleases their palate, quality not quantity.
They are natural readers of human nature
and love to read character, or put people in
their places as it were. They all have strong
mental appetite for the occult and mysterious,
consequently we can trace this type to the ORR

The Chinese and Japanese have these knots
upon their hands, especially those who create
weird and odd designs in art objects, but in
the Orientals we find the tip comic and the hand
generally has a sloping head line. The Mus.

floor found on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City,
he who vends his laces and drawn work, has
knots upon his fingers, and his goods are said
to be the handiwork of his brethren in his native

shirked their studies, yet to-day they are success

as all temperaments are different.
One must not mistake enlarged joints caused
by superabundance of uric acid in the system.

In my professional practice I have discovered
that married couple will seldom find perma-
nent happiness and congenal companionship if
both wife and husband have knotted fingers. 1t
is better if the wife has smooth fingers and the
husband knotted ones
In conclusion I may add that the knots upon

| tude. OF course, no parents wish to stand in
the way of their daughters happiness, but there
are cases when circumstances are such that they
are compelled to accept her sacrifice. and if her
lover really cares for her, he will respect her more
for her decision and be satisfied to wait until
such time as she is able to marry.
1t is better sometimes that girl should not
marry when her lover has a very small salary.
Loves young dream may be all right in its way,
but it isn't going to pay for Willie's shoes, nor
settle the gas bill. Two persons in love forget
that they are not always going to look at life
through rosehued glasses, for those glasses
going to be knocked off some day and broken be-
yond all possibility of repair. The young mans
salary may be quite sufficient for two but salaries
are not elastic, and what plenty for two
cannot be made to stretch over three or four
or five And it is almost like stating an axiom
to say that poor men always have large families.
When a girl marries she has no right to think
only of herself and the particular young fellow
upon whom she has centred her affections; on
the contrary, she must take into consideration
the children that are to come and to plan for
their welfare just as conscientiously as if they
were even now toddling about her skirts.
If both she and her wouldbe husband are very
Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-29

young she should not think of getting married.
All that is said and written about marrying
young ,and growing into each others tastes and
dispositions is beautifully sentimental, but in nine
cases out of ten, instead of growing into each
others dispositions they blossom out into the di-
vorce court. Few young girls know their own
minds They may think they do, but as mat
ter of fact, they do not for the the girl likes

AT twenty-five a woman's character has be
come fixed; she knows what kind of man suits
her and what kind of man is suited with her;
she has come to know something of men, and
consequently something of the art of making them
happy.
At eighteen she could not have borne with
patience mans moods and tempers, but by the
time she has reached the age of twenty-five she
has learned that a man is usually disagreeable
when he is tired and just before he has had his
dinner.
Moreover, by the time she is twenty-five she
has learned how to keep house, and to man
this is most important accomplishment. When
girl marries, she must be capable of doing two
things-making her husband happy and giving
him real home; and before she is twenty-five
the average girl is not capable of doing these
things
But suppose that she is twenty-five, and also
that she has good position with easy hours and

Up-todate science tells us that vibrations play
an enormous part in the world of life. A little
thought will show the least learned reader that
they affect us for good and ILL., I am concerned
only with the bad variety. People sometimes
use the typewriter until every touch of the keys
is followed up by little hammer striking in
side their brain. They ride motor cycles until
they get into such state that when asleep the
shocks go through their spinal column. There
are countless means by which such mischevous
vibrations are experienced Thence come all
sorts of nerve ailments, including neuralgia.
To treat bagginess under the eyes make a

from the heat and beat in the almond oil and

Mems Hats in Church

every modern church have eloakroom, where
gentlemen can leave their hats? This suggestion
has often been made A small sum could be
charged and devoted, let us say, to the clothing
of the heather in West Africa"
A wellknown clergyman who was asked if this
difficulty explained why men did not go to church
gave an unsympathetic answer. II cannot con-
ceive," he said, "even in these artificial and fin
nicking days, of who would avoid going
to church out of consideration for his hat. At
regular intervals male members of my congrega-
ton complain to me about this matter, and l in
variably tell them to wear caps"
A minister at a small church who offered as
remedy the suggestion that men should wear
opera hats told the amusing story of an expert
ment. Gone gentleman always used to put his
hat outside the door of his pew" he said; "others
followed, until the whole aisle showed a row
of silk hats. This all right till one night an
old gentleman who was shortsighted and infirm
came late He helped himself forward by resting
his hand on each pew. In this way he kicked
every hat into the aisle and dribbled' his way,
so to speak, up to his seat"

nuts, pecans, Brazil nuts, walnuts almonds,
dates, figs, raisins, candied orange, citron and
lemon, grated cocoanut and seeded rasins Boil
two pounds of grated maple sugar with one cup

Salad With Cheese
For salad, roll the cream cheese into tiny
eRe.shaped balls, with the wooden butter pad
dies heap it in nests of endive or lettuce, and
pour over French dressing. This is good din
ner salad For more elaborate one, mix the
cheese with minced parsley and paprika. Press
into tiny wetted molds of china (small egg cups
will serve the purpose), set on ice to chill. AT
servingtime turn onto bed of lettuce, and pour
over all a thick mayonnaise. Or line some very
small fluted timbale molds with aspic; when this
is set, place in the centre small ball of cream
cheese; on this put stoned olive, fill with aspic
and set away to chill and harden When ready
to serve, invert onto dish and place about the
little mounds celery shredded and mixed with

every day. 1t can hardly be consider
ed as separate and distinct type Of
hand, because it embraces many of the qualities
found in other hands, partaklng from each OF
them.
The Distinguishing characteristics of this hand
the knots upon the joints of the fingers.
The hand proper is rather large, long, well de-
veloped, but bony. Both the first and second
joints are well exhibited. By first joint is meant
the one nearest the nail, by second the next to
! it. The finger tips may either be half-square,
halfconic and on, relating to the various types.
The nails are generally long and the thumb
fairly strong. The first knot or joint relates to
mental order, the second joint to material order.
Many students of palmistry have treated this
type as whole, leaning almost ex-
clusvely towards science, research and absolute
truth, where ideas are derived from external in
fuences only. In this 1 shall differ somewhat
from the other authorities, for have found and
proven in many cases that it is also the idealist
where ideas involved from the inner con-
sciousness. This is particularly true where the
first joint is well developed. By this 1 do not
mean for it to be larger than the second joint
but well noticeable, in which case it gives strong
idealism, even sensualism. Where the skin on
the inner side is loose and wrinkled reasoning is
concentrated on mental subjects, whereas when
the second joint is well developed, philosophy and
reason are based on physical and material things
It is important to remember that knotted
joints may be found on the square, spatuate or
comic hands, which at times may confuse the
reader, but by close observation of the finger
tips there should be no trouble in classifying
the type.
The knotty or philosophic hand is largely found
on people who like to CLEAN wisdom In fact.
in many cases they are satisfied to devote their
time to acquiring knowledge; it is often more to

tarts and sugar hearts. Jack Horner, Mistress
Mary Little Nancy Etticote, Simple Simon,
Old King Cole, and the others were on hand

refrain from going to church because of their
hats
A daily paper has recently suggested that the

they regard their headgear and the inadequate

and poets claim, that love is not the only thing
in the world, and that in practical life there
are many things just as important.
For instance, if it is a girls duty to support,
or to aid in the support of widowed mother,
an invalid father or younger sister, it may
be better for her not to marry. She bas no right
to take her happiness at another's expense, and
so long as she is needed at home she should stay
