THE EXPRESSIVE HUMAN HAND.. Itmith of the placer Is aa lades to Mental Balaam. Mnch has been written about the bund. Artists have depicted ita perfec tion, physiognomists have interpreted ita shape and expression, ohirologiats nd the gypsy queens bare tried to prophesy from its markings, Bnt study of its peouliaritiea by the iuduo tiVo method takes one into entirely new fields and shows that to Interpret the significance of the hand one must start on quite new lines. There is something perhaps in the fact that the artistio hand has somewhat tapering fingers, but beyond this one deals with uncer tainties, and I recollect an idiot youth whose extremities had the contour of genius or Trilby. If one examines the hands of a large number of persons with a nervous en dowment, he will find curious defects in the length and relative proportions of the fingers. The length of the finger is determined by that of the middle one. If the index and mediua are olosed upon the palm, the ring and little finger be ing left extended, the middle finger will reaoh close to the place where the so oalled life line runs down, between the ball of the thumb and that of the little finger. It will touch the palm just below the highest part of the ball of the thumb. The middle finger is taken as the standard of length by which to gauge that of others. In a normal band the forefinger reaches just to the root of the middle finger, the ring finger is lon ger and should reach nearly to the mid dle of the nail of the medins, while the little finger should reach to the last joint of the third finger. Now, in in ebriates, epileptics, neurotics and the degenerative generally these proportions are often sot observed. The most com mon defect is shortness, especially of the third and little fingers, though some times a disproportionate length occurs. Sometimes these fingers are unnatural ly slender, or the little finger is slightly bent The most common abnormality of the thumb is excessive shortness, with a defective mobility. These peculiarities, well accentuated, from what we may call the "decadent hand" -the hand that writes oar sensuous novels, the fisuptmann drama, paints symbolic pic tures and exploits pure atheism. Such hands may be well formed to the ordi nary eye and may be attached to slender and graceful limbs, but this kind of beautiful hand and arm is found quite as often among the children of alcohol ics and among those highly cultivated families which hava become degenerated by vicios vices and viciouus crossing. Medical Record. PYGMIES. Bom InformaUoa Abont Thaw Strang Hitaa af Humanity. The Greek ward pygmy means a meas ure from the elbow to the hand. - The pygmies were a fabulous raoe of dwarfs about whom many interesting stories have been told. According to Homer, tbey were so very small that they Were attacked every year by the cranes on the coast of Ooeanus and were unable to defend themselves. Writers of a later date locate the pyg mies at the mouth of the Nile. We also read of northern pygmies inhabiting the region of Thule, and of others that lived in subterranean dwellings on the eastern side of the Ganges. It is said that onoe when Hercules visited the country inhabited by these little crea tures two whole pygmy armies attacked him while he was asleep. One army fell upon bis right and the other upon his left, but the hero easily and quickly rolled them up in his lion's skin. Tbey were not it seems, at all afraid of Hercules, for by the aid of a ladder they climbed up his drinking cup and helped themselves to its contents. Aristotle says: "The pygmies were probably some diminutive raoe in Upper Egypt who-rode very small horses and lived in caves." He did not believe tbat the stories told about them were altogether fabulous. It has often been declared that there are pygmy raoes of human beings in the heart of Africa. : 1 Indeed Da Chailla some time ago discovered a pygmy race in the mountainous country on the east of the southern great branch of the OgobaL They are about 1 feet In height. and are called Orbongos. "They live in the midst of negro tribes of or dinary size," says Du Cbaillu, "and there U nothing remarkable about them except tbrlr dirnlnnHvn rW.f " You can carry the little vial of Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pet lets right in the vest pocket of your dress suit, and ft will not make even a little lump. The " Pellets" are so small tnat 42 to 44 of them go in a vial scarcely more than an inch lonsr. and as bis- round as a lead pencil. They cure constipa tion. One "Pellet" is a laxative ; two a mild cathartic. One taken after dinner will stim ulate difrestive action and palliate the effects of over-eating. They act with gentle effi ciency on stomach, liver and bowels. They don't do the work themselves. They simply stimulate the natural action of the organs them, selves. . i i i iff. , Y7 MANNERS OF THE GREAT. - Milton was quiet and reserved in eon venation, but thoroughly refined and well bred. . , ,.. Harcua Amelias was said to be the politest Roman emperor who ever sat on the throne. Dante was solitary in his habits, and by his austerity chilled most of those whom he met Henry VIII ate with his fingers, and When hungry would take up his victuals and swallow them in handfulsatatime. Alexandre Dumas was gruff to most persons, but when he felt in a good hu mor could be as polite as a dancing mas ter, s Mozart was accustomed to good soci ety all his life and had pleasing man ners and address. He charmed every one he met v Titian was polite even to his wife. It is said he never entered her room without bowing and always rose when she entered his. Raleigh's courtesy in throwing his cloak in the mud for Queen Elisabeth to step on was characteristic of his usual behavior toward ladies. Julius Cassar owed his death to an incivility. He neglected to rise when the senate showed him some honors, and the rudeness was resented. George HI, so far from being the fe rocious tyrant described in the Decla ration of Independence, was as gentle as a child to all with whom he came in contact Berlioa was generally courteous, but so abstracted that he often forgot all about his surroundings and allowed the conversation to lapse simply because he had forgotten all about it Madison made it a point to touch his hat to everyone who bowed to him, and the front part of his hat brim was al ways worn threadbare in consequence of this punctiliousness.

The Germans have a saying, which has almost become a proverb, that "a duke of Brunswick never died at home." It received corroboration by the death of the last duke, who followed in the foot steps of five of his predecessors to wit, his grandfather, who died at Ottensen from wounds received at Auerstadt; his father, who fell at the battle of Ligny; bis brother, who died at Geneva, where he lies entombed in the well known piece montee; his ancestor, Julius Leopold, who was drowned in an inundation of the Oder, and William, who died In a hamlet far from bis estates, though near er to them than the death spot of any of the others. Mark Twain' Dog. - : Mark Twain was once asked to go to the Elmira reformatory and give a read ing to the boys there from one of his stories. He replied: "Now, that's a good idea for me, because I have been asked by a literary club to read down in the town. The boys are unarmed and under guard, and it will be perfectly safe for me. By watching them I can get an idea of how safe it's likely to be to read the same thing to that club." He gave both readings and still lives. Exchange. A Misapprehension. .

Good Koads la America. The "good roads" agitation is en. couraging. Rural America will be quite a different place to live in when we have highways as good as those of France and Italy and Switzerland and Germany. The farmer must not fancy that the .trolley will solve the problem for him. Doubtless trolley cars will do a great Bervice in connecting towns and hamlets with market centers. But first-class highways which are not dis figured by tracks and whizzing cars are a prime necessity. It would be an ex cellent thing to send the county com missioners of some of our states on an educational excursion to Switzerland, for example. Let them see for them selves what an example good roads really are, and they will begin to work for them within the orbit of their own authority. Once A Week. Training- for a Pirate. An item concerning Washington Irv ing, for the truth of which we cannot vouch, although it contains a deal of good advice for certain youngsters of the present time, has lately come to our notice.' It is to this intent: Washington Irving in his youth bad a longing to go to sea and be a pirate. He determined to make the attempt, but wisely decided to prepare himself for it by previous experience. He be gan by eating salt pork. That made him sick. He then slept for a night or so on hard boards. That made him sore. It was enough. He had no more desire to go away., Other boys who want to capture men-of-war, or who desire to go scouting or scalp Indians, would do well to imitate young Irv ing' example.
