The L. La In once Aand.

There are three prominent lines
in the palm-the line of life, that
Of the head and the heart line.
The line of life begins on the
inner boundary of the palm about
midway between the thumb and the
forefnger. If we imagine the left
hand to be a map, with the fingers
pointing north, this line runs to-
ward the southeast, then curves to-
ward the south and in some hands
curves finally toward the southwest.
1t thus skirts the base or "uprise"
of the thumb, known as the uprise
of Venus. If it is deep, broad, Of

Snake Flesh.

flesh among the delicacies, and
John Ward says that with the Aus
tralian natives "a dish of snakes is
a much esteemed luxury" Many
kinds of birds eat snakes. Pigs are
particularly fond of them, as also
are some deer. But in the old days
it was understood that deer only ate
snakes in summer, for which reason
their venison was at that time
poisonous, a sagacious fiction which
it was doubtless well to make wide
" known in times when there was
abundant temptation to deer steal

AM OPTICAL ILLUSION.
One of the Tricks Performed by the
Takers of India.

Takers of India.
The takers of India perform some
remarkable tricks. The following
one was witnessed and thus describ-
ed by an Englshman who was him
self an excellent prestidigitateur:
The apartment being filed, the
maGcians began their performance.
The audience sat on the floor about
the takers, SO that they had no way
of concealing themselves or of hid
ing anything. At their request I
examined them and satisfied myself
that they had nothing about them.
Then one of the women stepped
into the Enclosure, the rest remain
ing behind the spectators, who
formed a close ring about them.
The light was now turned down a
little, and in a moment the wom-
ans face began to be illuminated
by a ghostly light that extended
quickly over her entire body.
She then began to move around
and around, utterng q low, mur-
muring sound the while, gradually
quickening the pace until she was
whirling about Ike a top. q mo
ment of this, and the light that had
chung about her seemed to be whirl-
ed of by centrifugal force and as
sumed a pillarlike form beside her.
As soon as this was accomplished
she stopped, turned and began to
mold the light with her hand, and,
though 1 could distinctly see her
hands move through the light as if
it were cloud, it began to assume
human form. We saw the arms,
hands and legs all nodded and final
ly the face and headgear. She next
called for a light, and, the candles
being rehghted, there stood an ut
ter stranger, a native seemingly,
evolved out of cloudland. he step
ped forward and grasped me by the
hand. His hands were moist, as if
with perspiration. and he was a
very healthy spirit.
After he had talked and drunk a
glass of arrsck he took his place be-
side the woman again and began to
whirl about. The lights were dim
med, but not so that we could not
see, and in few minutes the figure
began to fade, soon assuming the
appearance of a pillar or form of
light and then attaching itself to
the woman and seemingly being alb
sorbed by her. All this was,done in
very short space of time before
the eyes OF at least fifty people and
not ten feet from myself. The girl
appeared greatly exhausted after
ward.

EFFECT OF SHOCK.
Varies From Slight Fslntnsss to Heart
Failure and Death.

Varies From Slight Fslntness to Hear
Failure and Death.
Shock is the term employed II
surgery to designate the state o.
physical and mental depression
which follows severe injury OIL
some disturbing emotion of the
mind.
The condition consists essentially
in want OF equilibrium in the cir.
culation, the arteries losing theil
tone, as a consequence of which the
great mass of the blood accumulate.
in the veins, especially the large
blood vessels of the abdomen. The
brain and other vital organs are de.
prived of the necessary blood sup.
ply and are thereby rendered inca.
pable Of performing their impor.
tant functions properly.
Shock may exist in any degree,
and the symptoms will vary accord
ingiy, from the pallor and slight
faintness which one may feel mo-
mentarily in making a misstep or
when startled, as by a loud clap Of
thunder or the receipt of bad news,
all the way up to sudden stoppage
of the heart and death.
In shock of average intensity,
such as follows a severe injury, the
face is pallid. the pulse is weak and
rapid, the skin is cool and often
covered with a clammy perspira-
ton, the muscular system is relax
ed, the sufferer is nauseated and
sometimes vomits, and the mental
faculties and sensibiities are be-
numbed SO that no pain is felt, even
though bones may be broken and
flesh torn. Not only is the surface
cool or cold. but the actual temper
ature of the body, as measured by
the thermometer, is lowered, some
times to the extent of two or three
degrees.
When shock depends upon a yio-
lent mental emotion. such as fear
or the receipt of sudden bad news
or upon q severe injury, as that re-
ceived in railroad accident or
when shot, the symptoms appear
suddenly. But when it follows a
surgical operation its appearance
may be delayed several hours. It's
degree depends not only upon the
severity of the injury, but likewise
upon the seat of it. A blow on the
abdomen will cause more severe
shock than a much worse injury to
an extremity or even to the head.
Treatment of shock calls for the
services of a physician, for it con-
sists in the administration Of pow
erful remedies to restore the tone in
the relaxed blood vessels and often
the injection of salt solution, but
sometimes can be done while await
ing the physician.
The sufferer should not be
moved. He should lie fat. BE
should have air, and the usual
crowd of the curious should be dis
persed. The eyes should be shield
ed from light. Hot cloths should
be applied to the extremities and
over the heart, and if he can swal-
low he should be allowed to sip a
little hot water. Stimulants should
be given if at all in very moderate
quantities.-Youth' Companion.
