description-long fingers denote .
musical nature usually, or at least
a nature that prefers art and the
more serious things to frivolity. The
crooked index fingers generally
mean extravaganza. The square
hand Is the useful one, the conical
shaped hand the artistic sort, the
large palmed, short fingered hand
denotes an elementary nature, the
very pointed hand, Z philosophic
disposition. Otsler elements enter
into this 80 much that only an ex
pert can tell you much of yourself,

Of your hand or large photograph

the care Of the nails, except that
every other day they should be fled
to slight point, and tho skin
pressed away from them. the rough
parts being clipped with pair Of
manicure scissors. Tho skin around
the top should be pushed up out Of
sight. Cold cream or vaselins rub

help their growth and make them

TURK FORTS RUINED
oARDANELLEs FoRTREssEsF FALL
BEFORE HUGE GUNS.
Transports With a Large Army San.
to Take suItan's Capital From
the Land Side.

London, Feb. 27.-The forts at tho
entrance Of the DardanelIes have been
reduced after an all-day bombardment
by the Franco-British feet. accordinp
10 an announcement made on Thurs
day by the admiralty.
Inc announcement states.
Inc weather moderating, the bonn
parchment of the outer forts of the Oar
oaneiles was renewed on Thursday
morning. After period of long range
nrlng, close range firing was adopted.
All the forts at the entrance to the
STRAITS were successfully reduced
The operations are continu-
ing"
This means that the bombardment
and possible capture of Constantinople
by the allied fleet, which has been
reported to include 40 warships, is
imminent, and that the feet is at pres
ent smashing it's way through the
straits.
The Dardanelles forts, for years con-
sldered among the strongest military
Darrlers IN the world, have been sub
Jected to almost incessant battering
Dy the shells of the battleships' guns
since last Friday, when the supreme
effort to force the straits was com
menced. Before that there had been
several attacks on the Notifications.
The bombardment was continued all
day Saturday and Sunday, and more
than two thousand shells were dropped
on the forts in that time. Bad wealth
er for the time compelled the cessation
OF the efforts of the fleet to reduce
the forts, but the bombardment was
resumed Monday afternoon, again to
be ended by bad weather until Thurs
day.
Constantinople reported that the
Dombardment had been almost without
effect, but the official announcement
OF the British admiralty said that the
forts we're unable to reply because
the ships were out of range, and that
five OF them were reduced by Saturday
night
The attack on Constantinople will
be simultaneous, it is believed here,
with an effort on the part of the Rus
sian army to take the Turkish capital
from the land side. 1t was announced
last week that Russian transports had
been sent with a large army to the
Turkish port of Midi, so miles north
west of Constantinople, for an over
land march against the gates of the
capital.
