THE EXPRESSIVE HUMAN HAND.
A.
Strencth er tlir l'lncrm Is nu Index to
Mental ltalancr. j
Much bas been written about tlio 1
hand. Artists liavo tkiictel its iierfoc
Hon, physiognomists havo intcrprctctl
ita shapo nnrt expression, chirolosifts
Kurt tho gypsj" queens have tried ti
prophesy from its inarkiii; Hut ii
study of its peculiarities by tho iiul'n
tivo method takes ouo into entirely Uv v
fiolds and shows that to interpret tho
(dguificaiieu of tho liand ouo must s-t.irt
on quito new lines. Thero is something
perhaps in tho fact that tho artistic
hand has somewhat tapering lingers,
but beycud this ono deals with xvwx
taintics, and I recollect an idiot ycnttli
whoso extremities had tho contour if a
gonius or a Trilby.
If ouo examines tho hands of a larg
number of persons with a nervous t n
dowmcnt, ho will And curious defects in
tho length and relative proportions cf
tho fingers. Tho length of tho finger is
determined by that of tho middle cv.c
If tho index and nieclins aro closed upon
tho palm, tho ring and little fiugcr be
iug left extended, tho middlo finder
will reach closo to tho placo whero tiio
so called lifo lino runs down, between
tho ball of tho thumb and that rf tho
little finger. It will touch tho palm just
below tho highest part of tho ball of tho
thumb. Tho middlo finger is taken as
the standard of length by which to
gaugo that of others. In a normal hand
tho forefinger reaches just to tho root of
tbo middlo finger, tho ring finger is lon
ger and should reach nearly to tho mid
dlo of tho nail of tho medius, whilo tho
little finger hould roach to tho last
joint of the third finger. Now, in in
ebriates, epileptics, neurotics and the
degenerative generally these proportions
aro often not observed. The most com
mon defect is shortness especially of tho
third and little fingers, thoogh some
times a disproportionate length occurs.
Sometimes these fingers are uuuatnral
ly slender, or the littlo finger is lightly
bent. Tho most common abnormality of
tho thumb is excessivo shortness, with a
defective mobility. The peculiarities,
well accentuated, from what we may
call tho "decadent hand" tiro hand
that writes our ensnons novols, the
Hauptmauu drama, paints symbolic pic
tures and exploits pure atheism. Juch
hands may be well formed to tbo ordi
nary eye and may be attached to slender
and graceful limbs, but this kind of
beautiful baud ami arm is found quite
as often among tuc children of alcohol
ics and amoT' those highly cultivated
families which have become d-tgaera: wl
by vicios vices and vieioans crossing.

THE THIRD ADDITION
PYGMIES.
Some Inforrjiatlou About Thce MraB
31!tc or Humanity.
The Greek word pygmy means a wens-
cro from tlvu elbow to tho hamL The
pygmies were a fabulous race of dwarfs
about whom many interesting stories
have beet told. According to Homer,
tbev wero so very small tbn: they were
attacked every year by the cranes on
the coast of Oceanns awl werenuablo to
defend themselves.
Writers of a later dat locate the pyg
raies at tbo mouth of the Nile V.e also
: 'i - - ..;
. vi -.. '-(rti" ii Siiii..- . ".
that once 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 his right and the other upon
his left, but the hero easily and quickly
rolled them np in bis lion's skin.
They were not, it seems, at all afraid
of Hercules, for by tho aid of a ladder
they climbed up his drinking cup and
helped themselves to its contents.
Aristotle Rays: "Tho pygmies were
probably some diminutive race in Upper
Egypt who rode very small horses and
lived in caves." Ho did not believe
that the stories told about them were
altogether fabulous.
It has often been declared that there
are pygmy races cf human beings in tho
heart of Africa. Indeed Da Chaillu
tome time ago discovered a pygniy race
in the mountainous country cn the cast
of tho southern great branch cf the
OgobaL They aro about 4X feet in
height and are called Orbougos. "'They
live in tho midst cf negro tribes of or
dinary size," says Du Chaillu, "and
there is nothing remarkable about them
except their diminutive size." Balti

A Cniqae Coat or AniH,
There was ouo Philadelphian who not
only invented arms for himself, bet new
and republican arms, after discarding
tho ancestral arms of his familr. This
was Peter Brown, at cne time au emi
nent citizen cf Philadelphia.
In 1 794 'William Priest, an English
musician, became attached to the the
ater in Philadelphia in his professional
capacity. In 1S02 ilr. Priest printed in
London a book entitled "Priest's Travels
In tho United States," which is now
exceedingly rare. Tho frontispiece to
this book is a strango and curious de
ign, entitled "Peter Brown's Arms. "
In explanation of this frontispiece Mr.
Priest says: "Peter Brown, a black
smith of this city, having mado his for
tune, set up his coach, but so far from
being ashamed of tho means by which
ho acquired his riches, ho caused a large
anvil to bo painted on each sido of his
carriage, with two paira of naked arms
in the act of striking. Tho motto, 'By
this I got ye.'"
What a I!I-Ins If Kdacation!
Theso are eonio answers to examina
tion questions given in an eighth grado
fchool not a thonsand miles from Chi
cago: "Liberia was established in 1 822 an n
colony for aspirated negroes."
"Nine-tenths of all tho plants not
found in nny other part of tho world
iro found in Australia."
"Salem Witchcraft was neither a koI
'Jier nor a sailor, but ho discovered
jonio cities. " Great Divide
The Darlincton, "Wis., Journal Bays ed
itorially of a popular patent medicine:
"We know from experience that Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrha-a
Remedy is all that is claimed for it, ss
on two occasions it stopped excruciating
pains and possibly eaved us from an un
timely grave. Wo would not rest easy
over night without it in the house."
This remedy undoubtedly saves mo'u
tain and suffering than any other med
icine in tbe world, livery fatrily should
keep it in the house, for it h Euro to bo
needed sooner or ;ater. For sale by A.
