Among its many varieties are %

lastly Us and 1861 the two highly
elaborated and pretentious systems
of astrolOgy (diTination by the
stars) and geOmancy (divination by
the lie Of hills and rivers).
IN the case Of astrolOgy the stars
are believed not merely to prognos-
ticate the future, but also to infu-
ence it, and the latter is the special
feature of geOmancy, practised in
China, where no house or other

Rcgues and Impostors.
In the exercise of these arts OF
divinatiOn there is no doubt that,
owing to the concentration of his
attention on the thing 10 be in
spected the operator is, in many
kinds Of "diTination," self-hypno-
tized, or brought into that we'll
known mental condition in which
the unconscious memory and other
special mental processes are active,
while an exaggerated acuteness OF
the senses is produced
In other cases the person who
consults the operator" may be so
influenced. Hallucination of one
kind and another is therefore likely
to occUr, and thus mystery and ap-
parently marvellous results are not
inconsistent with the good faith Of
the operator. But there is no reason
to doubt that the modern sOrcerers
who make money. nv their ora+andod
divinations are rOgues and impOs-
Tors Of particularly dangerous and
injurious variety.

us supposed indications precisely
determined by a formal set of rules.
There are similar lines on that
part Of the foot in human infants
a. IN the adult apes which CORE
Spond TO the palmar surface. But
no palmist has attempted to deal
Win them The fact is that the at
trlDutions indicated by such names
as the line of heart, the line of life,
the line Of the head, and The line
OF fortune are purely arbitrary, as
are those of the monticulas Venus.
Jupiter, Saturn, the sun, Mercury,
Mars and the moon.
In past times there have been
great divergences in their interpre-
tatlon by different schools, and the
present uniformity is as devoid of
any conceivable relation to fact as
were the former divergences. It
is impossible to discus the asserted
correlation of the lines anc month
'cules Of the hand with either char
acter o. life history, since no facts
are taken into account by most palm
that there is such a correlation. We
have bare assertion, and nothing
more, as in most o. the other doc
trines of magic
Nothing But Guessworl<.
The shape OF The hand an6 of the
fingers and the softness, hardness,
dryness, and moisture of the skin
are taken into account by most palm
lists. Few, if any, of those who pre-
tend at the present day to read"
a hand are really acquainted with
the elaborate rules laid down by
the painstaking if deluded people
who endeavored to construct a sort
of astrology of the hand by assign
ing the names o. heavenly bodies
to parts of it. The modern profess
sional palmist forms a judgment and
guess as to his or her clients char
acter and probable past and future
history by indications and informa-
zion obtained from the clients face,
manner, conversation, costume, and
private information. If a vague
prophecy made by the fortune
teller" should by hazard turn out to
be near the truth, il is remembered
and quoted by the client as a proof
of the truth of palmistry; if it does
not prove to be correct, it is for
gotten.
The question of the possibility Of
Judging of the character and dispo-
sitiOn of a man or woman by the
form and proportions of the hand
or the foot, is altogether distinct
from that Of the reality of .'divina-
ton" of future events by applying
a system of rules to the interpreta-
ton of the lines and swellings Of
the palmar surface. Persons of
quick perception are in the habit Of
forming judgments as to character
