THREE CHIEF CITIES. PERSONS OF NOTE. KOIX-FS) SCHOOL. A&mmnEvx Pure THE EXPRESSIVE HUMAN HAND. Strength of the Fingers Is an Index to Mental Balance. V Much has been 'written about the band. Artists have depicted its perfec tion, physiognomists have interpreted its shape and expression, ohirologists and the gypsy queens have tried to prophesy from' its markings. But a study of its peculiarities by the induc tive method takes one into entirely new fields and shows- that to interpret the significance of the band 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 bad the contour of genius or a 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 medius are closed upon the palm, the ring and little finger be ing left extended, the middle finger will reach close to the place where the so called 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 Ion ger and should reach nearly to the mid' die of the nail of the medius, while the little finger should reaoh to the last joint of the third finger. Now, in in ebriates, epileptics, neurotics and the degenerative generally these proportions are often not 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, wen accentuated, irom wnat.we may call the "decadent hand" the band that writes our sensuous novels, the fiauptmann drama, paints symbolic pic tures and exploits pure atheism. Snob bands may be well formed to the ordi nary eye and may be attaohed to slender and graceful limbs, but this kind of beautiful hand and arm is found quite as olten among the children of alcohol' ics and among those highly cultivated families which have become degenerated by. uicios vices and vioiouos crossing. Medical Record. PYGMIES. Some Information About Th Siege Strange Mites of Humanity, The Greek word pygmy means a meas ure from the elbow to the band. The pygmies were a fabulous race of dwarfs about whom -many interesting stories nave been told. According to Homer, they were so very small that they were : attacked every year by the cranes ou the coast of Ooeanus and were unable to defend themselves. Writers of aflater 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 tide of the Ganges. It is said that once when Hercules visited the country Inhabited by these little crea tures two whole pygmy armies attacked him while be 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. They 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 content! Aristotle says: "The pygmies were probably some diminutive race in Upper Egypt who rode very small horses and lived in caves." He did not believe that the stories told about them were altogether fabulous. " -; It has often been declared that there are pygmy races of human beings in the heart of Africa. Indeed Du Chaillu 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 4J feet in height and are called Orbongos. "They live in the midst of negro tribes of or dinary size," says Du Chaillu, "and . there is nothing remarkable about them except their diminutive size. ' You can carry the little vial of Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pel lets tight in the vest pocket of your dress suit, and it will not make even a little lump. The " Pellets" i are so small that 43 to 144 of them go in a vial scarcely more than an inch lone, and as bis: round as a lead pencil. -- 1 he j cure constipa tion. - One "Pellet" is a laxative ; two a mild cathartic.

They simply stimulate the natural action of Hh-e organs them I selves. MANNERS OF THE GREAT. Milton was quiet and reserved in oon versation, but thoroughly refined and well bred. Marcus Aurelius 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 be met. Henry "VllI ate with his fingers, and When hungry would take up his victuals and swallow them m handfula at a time. 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. Mozart was accustomed to good soci ety all his life and had pleasing man- tiers and address. He charmed every one he met. 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 oloak in the mud for Queen Elisabeth to step on was characteristic of his usual behavior toward ladies. Julius Caesar owed his death to an incivility. He neglected to rise when the senate showed him some honors, and the rudeness was resented. George DU, 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 oontact. . Berlioz 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 every one who bowed to bim, 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 borne." It received corroboration- by the death of the last duke, who followed in the foot steps of five of his predecessors to wit, bis grandfather, who died at Ottensen from wounds received at Anerstadt; 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; ma ancestor, Julius Leopold, who was drowned in an inundation of the Oder, and William, who died in a hamlet far from his estates, though near er to them than the death spot of any of the others. Mark Twain's Dog-. Mark Twain was once asked to go to the Elmira reformatory and give a read ing to the boys there from one of bis 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 bow safe it's likely to be to read the same thing to that club." He gave both readings and still lives. Exchange.

J Good Roads in America. The "good roads" agitation is en couraging. it oral .America win 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 service 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.

He determined to make the attempt, but wisely decided to prepare himself for it by previous experience. He be gan by eating sail pors. j.nai maae 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.

A few months since a man who had had his nose bitten off in a street fight applied to thejrathorities of the great West End hospital, London, requesting them to "graft" the nose of a corpse upon his face. This they refused to do, telling him that if he escaped blood poisoning from the effects of such an operation the dead flesh would "slough off" and make the job a failure. Final ly they did attempt to affix an amputat ed finger to the place "where the persist ent young man's nose had formerly been, but the severed member had be come cold and lifeless, before the opera tion could be finished and ' the "graft failed to set" As a last resort the surgeons suggest ed that one xt the patient's own fingers should be cut off J and fashioned into a nasal appendage. But in order that the finger should not be lost in the event of the operation proving unsuccessful, the patient had his arm,, incased in plaster, and for four weeks held his mutilated finger to his face with a hope that it would "take root" and thus furnish a basis for a new nose. This it finally did, and when it had become firmly affixed the finger was amputated and now hangs above the young man's mus tache as a very respectable looking nose. It has been worked over by the bone and flesh carpenters until it no longer resem bles a finger. Among his friends this man with the magnificent 'nasal organ is referred to as "the man who has joints in his nose. " St Louis Republic. Short Names.
