CHARACTER TOLD BY HAND
Expert criminoIogists Have by Direct
Tests Proved Their Theories to
Be Correct.

A French savant contends that the
face may not be hideous, but the hands
always are, and self-condemnatory.
Evidence on the latter characteristic
is scanty, and rests upon the inves-
legations of the French criminolo-
gists; but as to the former it is a
fact that some of the most brutal muir
ders on record have been perpetrated
by men whose countenances habitu-
ally wore very mild expression.
Deeming was pleasant man to speak
to until crossed; but some of the
authorities who examined his hands
declare his broad thumb indicated the
born murderer. The true ball-headed
thumb gives to the first phalange
round, Dubious appearance. 1t is
short, and the nail is so abbreviated
as to suggest that it has been gnawed.
1t is embedded in the flesh, which
rises on either side and beyond it.
Dumollard, wholesale murderer, had
a hand remarkable for its thickness
and length of palm in proportion to
the fingers. He had a significant
sign, common to most murderers-
namely the almost entire absence of
lines in the palm, save the three prin-
cipal-the lines of life, head and
heart. These lines were very strong.
ly defined. The line of the head-the
center line extending across the palm
was violently cut by the line of life
running upward from the wrist. Chiro-
nancy interprets this to foretell
a violent death. His fingers were
knotty and uneven at the nail pha-
langes. To sum up, the signs of the
murderer's hand are: Firstly, the
"pouce en- billie" Secondly, and only
less important, the thickness of the
Mount of Mars at the edge of the
hand, from which flows the blood d.
rect to the brain at the slightest mo-
ton, and causes the man to "see red.s
Thirdly, the scaffold sign in the sew
erance Of the Zine Of the head"

ton, and not las in most cases) by

CASSEROLE A GOOD FRIEND
Especially Valuable in Its Usefulness
in the Making Over of Joints Of
Preceding Days.

When the making over Of cohs
meats into warm dishes Is in question
consider the casserole. By its use
even TIA smallest scraps of meat, veg
etal s, sauces and gravies can be
used up. Not spoonful of anything
edible need go to waste.
When the Sunday joint of roast beef
has been served hot and then cold,
make delicious lunch or supper of
the remains If there is insufficient for
a dinner. In the bottom of the casse-
role put sliced potatoes, carrot and a
couple of onions, small, chopped, and,
If on hand, few mushrooms. Over
this pour the gravy left from the meat,
or, If this has been thrown away, add
water seasoned with pepper and salt.
Put on the cover and bake in a slow
oven for an hour. Half an hour be-
fore serving lay the cold meat on top
of the vegetables, replace the cover,
and continue the baking.
Cold roast of lamb will prove a very
tasty dish cooked in casserole with
peas. The peas placed in layers in
the casserole alternately with slices
of the lamb. The liquor in which the
peas were boiled is thickened and
poured over, the casserole being set in
the oven until the meat has heated
through. Served with mashed pota.
toes, an appetizing meal is the re-
suit. When cold peas ar other vege.
tables are on hand a white sauce can
be poured over, or any gravy that may
be available. The liquor from the
peas is not absolutely necessary,
though it adds to the nutriment of the
dish.

Reason cannot guide. Reason is al

from which reason makes it's calcula-

But reason has no power of choice
In the matter of premises; like any
well regulated calculating machine it
automatically accepts the premises
fed into it. You have but to watch
your own thoughts carefully to prove
this.
Who, or what, then, is responsible
for the choice of premises that you
feed into your calculator? Il is life
itself which uses reason. 1t Is life
itself which creates reason, the cal

reason? Life needs reason to weigh,

life would endlessly duplicate its ex-

Life is the actor, reason is acted
upon. Life is positive and reason
negative. To depend upon reason as
guide is to exalt the machine above

USE BRUSH IN THE KITCHEN
Vegetables Cleaned With That lmple'
ment May Be Served With AZ
surance of Perfect Safety.

One Of the best ways to wash vege-
tables is to provide yourself with
stout little brush, which should be
kept In a convenient place by the
sink. With this you will find the
work of washing the vegetables will
be made a great deal easier Then
there Is something that concerns
house brushes of all kinds. When
they are in need of cleaning, put tepid
water into a pan, sufficient in quantity
TO cover the bristles of the brush, but
not to reach the backs, which perhaps
would be injured by the water. Add
to the water three tablespoonfuls of
ammonia for each quart of water, then
put the brushes in to soak for ten
minutes Rinse them we'll in cold wa
ter and set them to dry, with bristles
downward. In washing hair brushes,
be careful not to use soap. Instead,
dissolve piece of soap in warm wa
ter and allow the bristles of the brush
to stand in the water. The bristles
will become white and clean. When
allowed to dry you will find that the
bristles will be just as stiff and firm
as ever they were and the backs Of
the brushes will not have been hurt
by soap getting down into the places
where the bristles are set into the
backs. An old tooth brush is pretty
good thing to save. 1t may often be

around cleanup times, in getting into

RECONSTRUCTED Man Costs $500.

With exhibitions and catalogues OF
artificial limbs brought to notice one
gets to calculating the cost OF a re
constructed man. Seemingly little
more than $500 would suffice. A pair
of articulated legs cost about $3.50,
and a pair of arms about 500. Ears,
with drums, ETC., cost $75 each; eyes
$50 a pair, and so on. Without heart
and brain a man is worth about $500.
With them-the price might change.

Sacred Treasure of Armenia.

Sacred Treasure of Armenia.
In the southern Caucasus, near the
meeting point of Persia, Russia and
Turkey, is situated the most treas
urei and sacred possession of the Ar
menian nation, the monastery and
cathedral of Echmiadzin, the Holy See
of Armenian Christians, the heart of
the Armenian nation, and the source
of that strength which has held to-
gether and guided the Armenians
through centuries of persecution, war
fare and massacre, says bulletin of
the National Geographic society. Ech-
miadzin Is the seat of the catholicus,
or primate, of the Gregorian Armenian
church.
Mount Ararat lies just to the south
CO the venerable Armenian see. Here
runs the Russo-Turkish frontier, while
a few miles to the southeast lies Per-

The buildings are arranged around a

1t has been the bulwark of Christian

there was anything akin TO riotlng or

ST. Pauls testimony shows that he
laid special stress upon the doctrine
OF the resurrection of the dead, both
of the Just and of the unjust. Alas,
that in our day, this doctrine has been
measurably lost sight of. Few
Christians ever think of the resur-
rection. Few have ever heard a ser
mon upon this subject. This Is be
cause a gross error has come in
amongst Christian people respecting
the condition of the dead.
Our Catholic friends tell us that
nearly all mankind go to Purgatory
after death. where for centuries they
will undergo terrible sufferings. to
purge them from sin and prepare
them for Heaven. Many Protestant
friends tell us that they have not
even this hope; that from their
standpoint only the little flock" go
to heaven: that the great mass OF
mankind. unprepared for the presence
of God. must go somewhere; and
that the only place for him is a He'll

will be no escape.
We will not quarrel with either
