A MANS HANDS.
Some caIIings That Leave Theie Trade
marks Impressed Thereon.


marks Impressed Thereon.
If your eyesight is keen enough
it is possible to tell by looking at a
persons hands what sort of employ
ment that individual follows, &C
cording to scientific men.
1t is commonly accepted fact
that the face reveals character, but
very few persons have ever paid any
attention to the hands as disclosers
of Va mans habits. Yet it seems we
can get just as much information
out of the latter as the former if
we know how 20 go about it.
The continual repetition of the
same kind of manual work, says DIR.
Alfred Gradenwitz in the Scientific
American, results in a permanent
alteration of the skin and muscles
as well as a Transformation of the
bones (atrophy or thickening of the
parts, displacement of the joints,
etc., for in repeating given
manipulation over and over again
the palm and the balls of the
thumb and little finger are called
upon continually to perform the
same action, leading to a perma-
nent strain on and wear and tear of
certain parts of the hand.
The greatest alterations are
shown in the hands of laborers who
do heavy manual work. They have
coarse and clumsy hands, with
short, thick and callous fingers, the
balls of the thumb and little finger
being especially developed and the
skin being horny and covered with
assures.
Take the left hand of a smith.
By continually manipulating the
tongs with this hand the balls of the
fingers and and thumbs are very
markedly developed, and the finger
tips are broadened.
The hand of the average shoe
maker has a strikingly broad and
fiat thumb, while the tips of the
fingers are likewise broad and fat
tened.
In the hand of the typesetter who
works at the case it is to be noticed
that the thumb and forefnger of
the right hand are tapering in the
upper parts, while the left hand
thumb, which presses upon the
type in the stick, is fattened.
The tailor can easily be picked
out by the condition of the forefn-
ger on his right hand, while the
pianist will be found to have taper
ing fingers and thumbs, which are
fattened upon the parts which
touch the keys.
Earth as Food.
In New Caledonia, New Guinea
and in the Malay archipelago the
consumption of earth as food is
comparatively common. In Java
and Sumatra certain kind of clay
undergoes a preliminary prepare
ton, being mixed with water, re-
dueed to a paste and the sand and
other hard substances removed.
The clay is then made into small
tablets or cakes about as thick as a
lead pencil and baked in an iron
saucepan. When this process is
over the cake of earth resembles
piece of dried pork. The Javanese
eat small figures roughly modelled
from clay, made to initiate animals,
birds or men.-Kansas City Jour

A Too.FamiIiar Ego

Deacon Stebbins, though a good
citizen, was noted for getting more
work out of the men who labored
on his farm than any other agric-
ulturist in the county. Late to
bed was considered ample reason
for an early rising.
Timothy Flannery was engaged
by the Deacon, but stayed one
week only. A neighbor hailed the
departing helper. and said:
Hello. Tim; did the Deacon
work you too hard?"
No, the worruk was all right.

MORE SUPPORT
CIarksburg Has Fine League
Team and 1t Should Be
Kept That Way.

For the good, speedy. winning pro-
fesslonal league team that it is, the
Mogul band is not receiving quite as
much support at Union park as 1t
deserves.
The kind of ball that is being pro
duced at the park ought to have at
least five hundred spectators on week
days.
It'costs money to keep winning
league team going and as that is just
what Clarksburg fans have been anx-
ious for and what they have, they
should lend their support to the thing
and keep Clarksburg up in the stand
ing.
The Clarksburg team has been
playing baseball as no team in this
city has ever done. The city has a
team that professional league cities
of much greater population would be
proud to have.
Come on. fellows, let's all boost the
game and show the baseball world
that Clarksburg takes a prominent
place on the baseball map.
