The Romantic Woman.

A wise man has pronounced palm
istry to be an absolute absurdity
beneath contempt" He has reduced
our lines" of life and heart and head
to muscular textures. The action of
the four fingers and the thumb re-
spectively produced the first two
lines, and all the others can be medi-
cally accounted for.
1t is disillusioning, of course, es-
pecially If one has been assured by
some fashionable palmist that one
possesses extraordinary gifts and that
good fortune is ones portion. But
if we accept what Psychologists tell
us about one thing we must believe
them when they say another. One
professor says: Humanity is daily
gulled through it's extraordinary ig-
norance of the elementary facts OF
physiology
The scientific announcement OF
palmistry will probably trouble those
will the women who submit their
hands that they may learn their fate.
The cold light of science is power
less to affect the fluttering hope ev-
cry woman holds that there may be
pleasanter surprises in life than she
believes are in store for her. MOI
is her faith shaken when the oracle
declares that the sorrows of her past
have overshadowed those of all 9TH
ers who have bravely borne the criss-
crossing os their Line of the Heavt.

bert Landone. who has purchased
100000 residence property in Holly
wood, where he will establish a school
in which to accomplish in child cul-
ture what Luther Burbank has done
in horticulture, has met with the diff
ficulties that invaria bly, beset reform
ers, but ignores them. He is about
to work out theories regarding child
culture that he hopes and intends will
result in the material benefit of the
human race. To a World correspond
ent he said:
There are Tour steps in evolution
airy development which are true in
both the human and plant life. Bur-
bank recognizes the gradations in his
plant work, as did Stanford in the
breeding OF fine horse stock. Even
so, they figure in the human race in
the development of children.
These four steps or gradations
are as follows: First, variation; sec
ond, sex crossing to carry on the
qualities by heredity; third, selec-
ton, and fourth. cultivation and de-
velopment.
DIR. Jordan, president of Stanford
University, recognizes these same
steps in recent work
AS far as concerns the first two
steps in evolutionary development.

they have been attended to already"
explained DR.. Landone.
No Artificial Marriages.
This country of ours is the most
crossed, as far as races go, of any
nationality on the face of the globe.
We simply take the best representa-
tives of child life in the land and
work with them.
ANY effort along the line of arti-
fetal marriage is a failure, since true
marriage is where each party to the
contract is honestly in love with the
other freely and of his or her own ac-
cord. The offspring OF an artificial
marriage would be failure

developed some harmful habit or ten
dency is to quiet that particular re-
gion of nervous activity. Then it is
easy enough for the child to pick up
its old habits, although it may have
reformed temporarily.
with my system the entire struc-
ture is changed 1t is a different
structure entirely, and the child in
order to get back into it's old habits
must not merely 'backslide,' but build
back. Do you catch the essential diff
ference between the two?
Il will have four departments in
my school this year. The first will be
art, with special attention to music
and sculpture; the second. therapeu-
tic curing Of incurable diseases, like
spinal troubles, particularly; the
third, remedying backward children
who are deficient in some of the
senses. as in color perception or in
not hearing accurately, while the
fourth will be the selection OF those
dozen children whom / will choose
this summer, and the educating Of
them along the lines given in my spe-
cial educational system.
These particular twelve ! will ed
ucate free of charge; the other pupils
| will charge for, as in other institu-
tions OF educational character.
Methods VIII BE Radical.
MY methods of work with these
children will differ radically from the
ordinary methods of teaching. For
instance, you have observed, doubt
less. many a man in the business
world whose school training didn't
extend beyond the seventh or eighth
grade perhaps, but whose mental pro.
cesses and accordingly whose bust.
ness methods were on a better plan
and were much better systematiZed
than those of the man who had had
more years Of school and college
training.
Now. when he was a child that
man of little training but of excellent
ability would have been the child we
would choose for our school.

gin with an experiment in concentra-
ton. Troops of the department from
many posts, some as far as Washing
ton. D. c., will be marched so as to
arrive at Pine Plains, near Water
town, N. Y, within three hours Of
each other. Large evolutions will
then be carried out on much the same
scale as in modern war.
In introducing his plans General
Grant began with a plain word or two
on preparation for war.
I'VE are the most pugnacious ma
ton on EARTH" he said, and perhaps
the least prepared for real trouble"
He did not believe that I'm God We
Trust" was a good enough motto to
excuse lack of military preparation.
He went on to say:
Il am preparing seacoast maneu-
vres for this summer to show how
our big guns could knock out any for
eign fleet that might come poking
around with evil intentions"
The absence of the battleship
squadron in the Pacific has led, 1t is
understood, to the attaching of much
more Importance in Washington this
year to the maneuvres centring about
the coast defenses of the Atlantic sea-
board.
Orders issued governing details OF
the maneuvres prescribe a minimum
of formal ceremonies and a total alb
sence Of merely spectacular exhibit
tions." Practice marches have been
ordered, in which infantry will cover
200 miles and cavalry $50 miles. The
exercises will be carried out in a pro-
gressiye manner, beginning with
small bodies of troops and ending
with the entire command. These ex-
ercises will comprise periods of at
tack and defense; periods Of advance;
rear and flank guards, and control
work; periods of outposts and control
work, to be followed by general man.

Washington, d. c. - Preparations
I've been completed by the War De-
Ftment for joint maneuvres during
- coming summer of all branches of
the regular service and many State
knilitia organizations, for which Con-
gress has appropriated $1,00O,00O.

The army maneuvres, which are to
be on a scale never before attempted
in the United States, are to be car
ried out by Major-General Frederick
d. Grant with the regulars of the De-
partment OF the East and large force
of militia. The operations, says Gen
eral Grant, will include more men and
cover wider territory than any pre-
yicus, and, as far as can be, they will
offer an approximation of warfare.
The plan of campaign includes two
separate series of operations, the first
on the coast, the second inland. A
series of coast defense maneuvres will
be carried on simultaneously at the
various Notifications from Baltimore
to Boston. After four weeks of this
coast defense practice, the comman-
der believes, the troops, both regulars
and national guards, will be thor
oughly seasoned to powder, while the
officers will have gained great famil-
iarity with the particular styles of
maneuvre involved, and the chiefs in
command will have plenty of valu-
able records as to the performances
of the troops and the efficiency of the
individual officers.
A month or more later will come
