The price for same is $780, without the rock
ers, $3 The corner chair is convenient size
and shape to fit into the corner of room or
piazza similar shape with circular back is
also much liked, shown in several patterns.
There various sofa shapes in wicker with
curved and straight backs that make good hall
or piazza seats. Arms on any chair piece of
furniture make them that much more desirable.
Sofas accommodate from three to five people.
A lounge is very desirable addition to the
Furnishings of room or piazza, and next to this
is the reclining chair shown Gust above the sketch
of the former. cushion for the back and seat
is all in one piece.
TABLES, SWINGS AND OTHER PIECES.
The little table shown in the corner is one of
the most desirable shapes sold and may be had
in twenty-four inches, rhirtysx, forty-ive or
larger to order. This pattern is very good in
large and small sizes for garden parties, where
meals are served in the open
There is another style of table with solid
wicker base that tapers slightly toward the cen

1t is long and slender; the fingers long and
smooth
The first phalanges a rule extra long in pro
portion to the others, and tapering to marked
point.
The nails, when the circulation lis good are
pink in color and almond shaped
The palm soft and the skin delicately white
and generally covered with an endless variety OF
lines-regular spider web.
The most prominent mounts IN true type are
the Moon and Venus.
The thumb is slender, fairly long and pretty.
This hand is as rare as the comic is plentiful,
and pretty as it is scarce. 1t is charming
hand to look at and admire, but it is not useful,
consequently the most unfortunate type to pos
sess. Such hands we must work to support Tor
the privilege of having them amongst us.
Many writers on palmistry have often ignored
the idealistc on account OF its scarcity and mere
y limited at through the exaggerated characterst-
les of the comic hand. Among Oriental nations
it is, however quite plentiful, but will come
across a case now and then in every day life The
possessors of these hands live in the land OF
dreams and Utopan ideas; they dwell IN the
clouds as it were, instead OF adherng TO terra
irma, consequently they possess very poor con
cepton of things relating to the real ana practi'
cal Their souls rule over matter and they have
only contempt for the wretched necessities OF an
earthly existence Their ideal is too high for
natural interests; they look for divine reason
everywhere, and are guided solely by impressions
and impulse For these individuals TO reach a
logical conclusion by practical method would be
impossible. They love music which appeals 10
the soul and poetry of the dealistic order; in
fact, art of every form appeals to them, but they
nrefer the dreamy pictures that are produced by
the artists Imagination rather than those taken
from nature. They meek in manner and
temper and abhor strife they are very confiding
and place great confidence in those who treat
them kindly and considerably, consequently they
are easily imposed upon.
Since these individuals have little idea of how
to be practical and businessike and have no con
ception of order, regularity, system, punetualty
or discipline, they more to be pitied than
censured. For when the possessors of these
hands are not born with silver spoon in their
mouth, they find it hard to hang on to the skirts
of life.
Great romancers and mystics possess this type
of hand. The faculty of intuition is often highly
developed even in childhood the type that gives
us the true and natural medium, elairvoyant,
whose power of divinaton can be operated at
their own sweet will. They are more alive to
impressions, feelings and instinct than any other

sign and spiritual, where in everything else they
have failed. Some of our great artists have had
such hands, hands which produced masterpieces;
but, being unable to understand the executive
side of life, they have died in garrets for the
want of bread. Since it is impossible to make
the possessors of such hands associate with prac-
tical people, their work is lost and its intrinsic
value never realized until after their demise con-
sequently their work is commented upon and
crowned, whereas it should have crowned their
heads while amongst the living.
Their natures are so highly refined that the
very air of vulgarity or rudeness disturbs their
peace of mind Their flights of fancy are SO
beautiful and their ways so winning that one is
impressed with the feeling that they were special

VsEzsSkJ ably means more to the home gardens
of the next generation than any other
phase of educational work. At first such gar
dens met with serious objection from many class
es of people, but wherever they have been intro
duced they have been of such value that they
have won approval on all sides.
An education that does not fit a person to be
better able to support himself and those depend
ent upon him certainly falls far short of what it
should. It should also make him better cit
zen, for that is of the great reasons that
State funds are continually appropriated for the
establishment and maintenance of our public
schools. Since less than one per cent. of our
boys and girls who to earn their living from
the land attend agricultural schools or colleges
it seems important that our common and ele-
mentary schools should teach something of the
rudimentary methods of agriculture, and help in
a greater degree to fit them for their life en-
ployment.
Where there is sufficient space to allow an in
dividua garden for each pupil, better work can
be accomplished, it develops the individual
characteristics Even if the gardens are small a
great deal of good may be done Sometimes the
produce raised is a great nducement to the boys,
and when it is sold by the school it often furnish
es a fund for pictures and books, besides furnish.
ing enough to prepare the garden for the follow
ing year.
To overcome the lack OF space which exists
about many school buildings, vacant lots may
often be utilized to good advantage. Unsghtly
vacant lots are nuisance, and the effect of va
cant lots which are used as dumping grounds are
demorazing to neghborhood, from sanitary
and scenic standpoint
Another very important point in connection
with the school garden is the fact that it fur
nishes an opportunity for the physical and moral
development as well as the mental developing
of person to the greatest extent. Too many
children are injured in our schoolrdoms by un-
interrupted study The establishment Of
school garden has, / believe in no instance ever
prevented the pupils from going through the re-
quired curriculum already existing in the pub
lie schools In fact, where school gardens have
been conducted for many years, those pupils hav-
ing the gardens have been more rapid in mental,
moral and physical development than those not
having them. What greater argument can any
one advance in favor Of school gardeni

30 in this work-a-day world of ours these hands
are usually found failure.
In affairs relating to the heart they are change
able; they love ardently for time, but their souls
are prone to roam 10 spheres where mates are
unable TO follow, thus love soon fades away.
Their veneraton for divinity is strong, conse-

Those who have willow may buy stain at any
paint store for twenty-five cents a can and
brush for fifteen cents, and completely change
the appearance of the pieces by coloring them
and then adding figured cretonne or plain mate

There is a host of colors from which to choose
among the colored enamels Three shades Of
green-the forest hue, the medium tone and the
pale leaf green; dark, though striking shade of
sapphire blue four shades of red from the deep
maroon to the pale rose pinks; the light and dark

that it could also serve independently as a seat.
In willow it is very attractive used as writing
table, on which books and flowers may also be
placed As table which to put the breakfast
tray it is very desirable, and invalids also find
many uses for it. The price is $40 in natural

THE ORIGIN of the use of mahogany is said 10
have been as follows: A West Indian trader
brought home several logs of mahogany as
London hysician-happened to be building q
house and his brother suggested that the logs
would serve for ceiling beams. Acting on the
proposal the doctor gave orders to his work
men accordingly. but their tools were not able
to make an impression on the hard wood.
The doctor ordered fresh tools to be made and
at length succeeded in finding implements
which would cut the timber. Delighted with
his discovery, he ordered bureau to be made,
and so beautiful was it that it attracted gen
eral attention. But just at the Ipresent mo-
ment tools have been perfected to work in any
kind of wood.
