fnesses That Make for Success or
Failure as Shown in Your Palm
THE HAND OF A MUSICIAN

TN THE hand of a person who Is
= talented in music, the skin is very
smooth and soft. This indicates a re-
fined, sensitive nature, with a great
dislike for anything that is coarse or
unrefined. AS a musician, of either sex,
must pay attention to details, the
fingers must be long in proportion to
the rest of the hand.
In the hands of many musicians, the
thumb, ut its outer angle or joint, is
quite pointed. This is held to show a
good idea of time or rhythm. A sense
of tune is sometimes seen in a point
or protuberance on the outside of the
thumb, below the joint.
The mount of Venus should be fairly
strong and high, to show melody, and
this characteristic is seen also in a
good mount of Saturn at the base of
the middle finger. When there are a
good mount of Apollo at the base of
the third or ring finger, and a good
mount of the moon near the wrist, a
decided sense of harmony is shown.

the state departments and providing room for an
indefinite expansion Of the storage space for the
state library. At the top, underneath the dome,
will be located the war trophy room. This will
be magnificent apartment with space to store
in permanent safety the battle flags and other
relics Of Civil war, the Spanish and Philippine
wars and the World war.
The tower which brings in a strictly utilitaran
feature to take the place of the ornamental but
economically useless dome Is the most striking
feature of the plan. but is by no means its only
excellence. The basement and first floor will
house the service features and many of the state
departments. The chambers which distinguish
such building will be found the main floor
Entering from the north by broad flight of stairs
the visitor finds himself in the hall of state, a
vaulted apartment approximately so feet HIGH
and containing inches for statues and spaces for
inscriptions and several paintings. At the left
will be series of rooms for the governor.
Passing directly to the center of the building
and standing in the rotunda the visitor will have
at his right beautifully designed senate cham
Der and at his left a somewhat larger apartment
for the house of representatives In front he will
see the doors leading to the supreme court rooms
with the state library Immediately above.
Four courts opening to the sky admit light and
air to the interior. The arrangement is such that
every office in the structure opens either upon the
outside or upon one of these courts. The library
and the chambers of legislation are lighted by
clear-sky windows. Even the rotunda, which in
practically all capitOs must be Illuminated artif-
cially receives direct light from windows cut into
the tower as 1t energies from the roof The marvel
of the design is that it covers much ground
and has so large a capacity without requiring
artificial lighting in any department.
The style of architecture employed is simple
and dignified Nothing is employed, In fact, but
well established forms. Simplicity is the keynote
The material is to be Of stone Of rather light
buff tone. The tower will be of steel construc-
ton with wind braces to give 1t security
The building will be enriched by sculpture. paint

You can get the Bychloride at the

GRAHAM MILL BURNED.

since 1868 ten miles north west OF
Oxford, was destroyed by fire
Saturday night. lie lire was dis
covered about ten O'Clock, but had
gained such neadWay rnat the
blaze could not be extlnguished.
The building was a thIee-Story
frame structure and very old and
dry. The mill cost about $4,000
when erected, ana was noted for it's
superior products OF both meal and
flour. About 1l5 bushels of corn,
lot of cotton seed, farm implements
and tools We're destroyed in the
fire.
The mill belonged to r. L. Redwine
and was insured for $4,000. The
origin of the fire seems to be some
what a mystery, as Mr.. Redwine
operated the mill Saturday leaving
there sometime after six o'clock,
and there was no fire in the build
ing.
Hundreds of people for ten to
twelve miles around visited the
ruins of the old mill Sunday. It was
an old time water mill, driven by an
overshot wheel about 20 feet in dia-
meter. The mil Twas equipped with
bolters and all up-to-date ma
chinery an denjoyed patronage for
fifteen miles around.
