Handwriting an
Index of Character.

The clear, legible style denotes a
calm, prudent, reflective and gentle
disposition: serious, strong-minded,
painstaking and reliable.
The dashing style, more or less illegi-
BILE, indicates lively, vital, impatient,
imaginative disposition, at times almost
genius. In such people, the temper
is often violent, but of short duration.
They are enthusiastic, charitable and
whole hearted.
A fine, regular formation denotes
order, precision, beauty and originality
Even temper, self-control, exactitude
and consistency are, as rule, part
of such a persons individuality.
The irregular, uneven style indicates,
among other things, careless, inatten-
tive, distracted, and impractical
nature. A certain bent for construc-
tiveness usually goes with this nature.
The rounded handwriting indicates
order, precision, strength, good judg'
ment, practically, patience, resolu-
ton and calmness. Tender sympathy
and affection are also displayed by
this style of handwriting. A love Of
ease and pleasure will usually be found
in such persons.
The angular, pointed styles denotes
courage, order, self-reliance, i'm
patience and the lighting disposition.
Energy and willpower are also mani
tested by this style of handwriting
together with penetration and acute
ness.
If the handwriting ascends across
the page, it shows an ambitious, ener-
getic, good natured, and strong wllled
personality; on the other hand, if it de-
cends, this indicates a tendency to-
wards melancholia, depression, fatigue
and incidence; while the handwriting
that is quite horizontal, indicates
good sense, moderation and sound
health.
If the letters are squeezed together
and cramped. it indicates an ungracious
somewhat selfish disposition; while
letters spaced out well, but connected,
show kindly, but forgiving and friend
ly disposition. New Idea Woman's

Notes OF State Sunday
School Convention.


The State Sunday School Convention
al Winchester, Oct. 9th to 10Th, was
one of the best in the history of the
work The schools that failed to send
delegate have lost much in inspira
ton and information.
The addresses of DIR. Dement, on
Trained leadership; Prof. Linsley on
Temperance and Missions and Prof.
McGlotnlin on the Adult Work, were
most comprehensive and encouraging.
The teacher training class is the fea-
ture which needs pressing much in Ken
lucky and in our own county, where
there are but few schools with any pro-
vision made for future teaching force.

in the past. Can't our superintendents
plan more definitely for teacher train

ing courses would mean much for the
future.
Mr. VIC. Pearce and DR.. McElfresh,
our international workers, were with US
throughout the session and were filled
with the spirit. knowledge and power
rested upon them and was impaired to
khe large congregations.
The graded lessons were urged upon
every school not using them. Not De-
cause the Uniform lessons are not good,
but because the graded lessons are bet
ter since they are adapted to the boys
and girls by the wise experts who know
lust what children and youth of differ
ent ages need for their best mental ard
spiritual advancement. The GRADED
Union was the feature of the work on
Sunday afternoon.
Mrs. Piggott spoke of its possibilities
for the country Sunday school. Mr.
Vaughan spoke of what it is doing TOR
the town and Miss McCulloch told what
it has done in the city.
A union of all the teachers in village

Consider This Advice.


No woman should submit to surgi-
cal operation, which may mean death,
until she has given Lydia +. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made exclusive
ly from roots and herbs, a fair trial.
This famous medicine for women
has for thirty years proved to be the
most valuable tonic and invigorator of
the female organism. Women resid-
ing in almost every city and town in
the United States bear willing testi-
mony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia
+. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t cures female ills, and creates radi-
ant, buoyant female health. If you
are i'll, for your own sake as well as
those you love, give it trial.

invites iii sick women to write
her for advice. Her advice is free,
-'d always helpful.
