A MANS HANDS.
Some caIIinss That Leave Their Trade

marks Impressed Thereon.
If your eyesight is keen enough
it is possible to tell by looking at .
persons hands what sort OF employ
ment that individual follows. &C
cording to scientific men.
1t is a commonly accepted fact
that the face reveals character, but
very few persons have ever paid any
attention to the hands as disclosers
of a mans habits. Yet it seems we
can get just as much information
out of the latter as the former if
we know how to 60 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 we'll as a transformation of the
bones (atrophy or thickening of the
parts). displacement of the joints.
etc, for in repeating a 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 Oh and wear and tear OF
certain parts of the hand.
The greatest alterations arc
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 q 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 fiat
tened.
In the hand Of the typesetter who
works at the case it is to be noticed
that the thumb and forefinger Of
the right hand are tspering 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 forefin
ger on his right hand, while the
pianist will be found to have taper
ing fingers and thumbs, which arr
flattened upon the parts which
touch the keys.
