debts These are also improbable, unless
the frames are worth something. Clothes
come into the same category, for, as
they cannot be sold for a year they are
out of fashion, and even your wearer OF
second hand clothing must have it in the
latest style, and if as fashion note says
''the new hat looks as though broad
wheeled wagon had rolled over it,
then the conical mother goose of last
season will of course be worth nothing.
So the gentlemen who deal under the
three balls seem to have their troubles
also, and Morets de Pete are loosing
concerns. Therefore it is not wise these
hard times to open a pawn brokers shop.
or if you do don't lend money on bibles,

The affairs of the st Johns Guild will
undoubtedly receive thorough over
hauling. The trustees all seem anxious
for this There are strong parties on
both sides, some in favor of the Master,
while others believe him to be entirely
out of place. Should any mismanage-
ment or intentional alienation of funds
be proven it will probably go far toward
killing what was once an excellent char

proportions that it was difficult to pre-
vent errors creeping in. As far as the
trustees are concerned nothing except
neglect to investigate and overlook mat
tiers little more frequently and thor

There is a good deal of surreptitious
mormonism in our midst, but polygamy

In fact good many of the devotees

An interesting lecture was delivered
at the Cooper Union course on Saturday
evening, by DIR 4 B Crosby on THE
Human Hand" and while it was in
progress there was a deal of ex-
amining upon the part of individuals of
those special members. He declared it
to be the most expressive portion of the
body and that the the thumb governed
the hand and seemed TO be in sympathy
with the brain. The fingers received
their due share of attention. Spalutores
or parabo'ic fingers denoted disposi-
ton to honest work, and we're the usual
sort, but such person would lack deli
cacy of feeling and ideality. Square tip
ped fingers represent the methodical
workers and conical an artistic and inn
pulsive temperament The lecture
was eagerly listened to and many other
points made. give your readers these
few hints that they may compare them
with their estimate of themselves and
see if the'Doctor's theories about fingers
correspond with them.
