As a rule, though (here are many ex ce tlons, a man with a long n-til joint to his thumb, but short nails, should Ban; a woman with a short thumb and lone nails. I don't mean " talons." but the pink par: of the nail should be long enough to promise race-i lost in the man's ana lytical nature ; these very short nails de clar the diver into hid en recesses ; cer :a:i;ly he often dis -overs diamonds, but the.r r. ughne 8 is usually appalling, ai d the wife who will see to their poli hing is the one thing ne .'dful. Long nails look ;oo much on th-i out side of things, and Judge people by looks, rxi an r.er and dress ; so this combination enould insure " le juste milieu." A girl whose long pointed fingers and nail-. and long, though slanting line of head, show much mental poer, coupled with strong imagination, and a great tendency to judge by outward signs, must be carefully wooed. ihe man to succeed will be short fin gered, and the first joint of hU thumb will be at least as long a- the second. He will never quite let her know how muoti he cares for her, nor will he ever alto gther lift the v-il which shrouds him. To her bi- charm will be that there is aiways something behind something iiiore to know some day. These long pointed fingers, with the bne of head described abovo, love exploi tation, but the mine once opened and ful.v explored has no more interest for them. Ihe signs of chiromancy vary so much, according to the iypeof the hand, tii at it is difficult to cull hard and fat maxims. I can, however g.ve at least one, which is a thing of beauty and a joy forever in any hand When the line of heart forms a fork, of which both brancnes are exactly equal, on the mount of Jupiter, which rises at the basrt of the first finger, it declares absolute irueness of heart. In such a person you may fully confide, for to him or ner deceit is impossible. This fork also tells of one love ouly, for even wnen tho person inspiring it ha- proved wholly unworthy, no other love will ever replace it. Other affec tions in iy attempt to do so, but none will ever hold tho plaoe consecrated to the lirst and last real love. The person inspiring such love la often Indicated by a cross between the lines oChoart and head, the invariable sign of an iulluer.ee of opposite sex. These crosses, however, i-omet.nies show irk bomu lulluencee; old loves which refuse to be shelved, and thread bart) friend ships, straining at the cords of old af fection iu well-meant fatal e.ioits to ad- Vi -e. Once, whwn telling the hand of a for eigner, I found one of these crosses cut-tin-: tiie lines of heart, he id and faie, and indicating continued worry and bin urance arising from a woman's inilu ence. I said : Your life is crossed and marred by some woman. Whatever you take up. -he objects to. No matter in what career you seek success, she crosses your path and bars your way." To my dismay, the flery foreigner sprang to his feet, and bringing his cenehed li.-t down on the table with a f yr e all but disastrous to glass and una cuin:, lie said: Aii! I do know her; sho is von fie. d. I do wish she would uie." When Ihes" croRPrfs re-.. ;i t he. id line only, th i;illueriees they Lid ch'o ar:si fioin r.n-ciuatii n alone, and the heart is unto ciied. I know one lady whom palmistry saved from a miserable marriage by warning her how speedily the glamor surrounding an Influence of thi-t kind would wear tff. Iu consequence of this warning she took six months to think over matters, and long befor their termination the glamor had vanished, and the engagement was broken off. When the line of heart Is 1 roken into many small pieces, it argues little luck in love, and tells of inconstancy la friendship. A man who with this line comblr.ed a long line of head retching right aeross the hand, would be a dangerous rival. With but little regard to what imple ments he employed to cut out any one who lnterfei ed with him. The lrugmentary line of heart tells of the wibh to do it, while the lengthy line of head (liter.illy far-reaching) shows the po.iet. This loug head line is always a dangerous posses sion, indicating capaoilitiea lor swin dling. With a good long lino of heart princi ple win strangle speculation, but when you find this in the hand of a friend whose lii.e or heRrt is defective, cross quickly to the other side of tho w.iy, especla.ly if you have anything of value about you. In hands blessed with all vtr'uoa, this line merely deno e thit delightful tal ent for gettlog one's money's worth out of everything which th.se who do not possess it ceaselessly envy and admire. lJouotless it a moot desirable knack, but if everyone had it no one would over pay, so how would any one protL? It is just as well, ther-iore, that no two people possess hands exactly si m liar, and that a large heart so often overrmes a long head. Redno.-s of the Unee shows passion ; but unless so red as to indicate violence, they are, I th.nk, preferable to the wiue, whi e lines .leciaring egotism. The latter s amp the " Grandcourta "of life.

" I was first a Methodist, then a Camp belllte, then a Baptist, and now I am in search of a denomination which more i.early accords with the teachings of God's word than does any one of the three. If I could find a Baptist church which would believe and teach that Christ is to reign a thousand years in person in Jerusalem, I would Join such a church, but that I cannot possibly hope to find.'" So said an old brother to us the other day who has beet walking the streets of Richmond some years. After he had told us how ' rotten " all the churches are, and how the idea of the " personal reign of Christ in Jerusa lem" would eorruct all existing wrongs, he asked very complaccnily : "What do you think of my case V Of course we told him that it was th "case" of a firstrclas crank.

W ar. ins; Loo; Locks. " Take," says a cowbov of the plains, for Instance, the cowboy's big rimmed hat. The fact alone that it has been worn without changing fashion for gen eration after generation is enough to in die ite that use, not vanity, dictated its origin. " Until recent years, when the impor tance of these hats wa-i recognized by hat manufacturers, and wool, felt and fur were turned to account In making them, we made our o n hats. "A hole, as near the shape and size of our heads as we could make it, was dug in the ground. A large circular pieoe of raw hide, wet, soft and pliable, was spread over the hole. With a bunch of grass or buckskin the centre of Ihe rawnlde was pressed down imo the hole until it assumed its size and shape. The surrounding circle i f hide, whlcu was to be the rim, was k- pt flat on the ground by consUut patting of the hands all around it. " When the hat was moulded it was left until it was well drl -d by t e sun. Th n it was taken to a place where smoke and heat scorched It so that It was perfectly wa er-proof. Then it wa trimmed with s rings and straps and was ready for use, and that use Is of en to throw a quickly spreading prairie fire back on the burnt d ground before It has a chance to gain headway; often to turn wbd cattle and horses In the direction- we want them to go. "When the sun Is eorchln hot and there is a blister in every puff of wind, this great hat ia much cooler than a straw hat. W hen the Wind Is blowing the sand like not shot in our faces we would suffer greatly but for the protec tion afforded our eyes by the hig-brimmed hat. When the mud is flying from the heels of stampeding catil -, or the t rrl Lle hailstorms f the plains are pelting upon ua, those hats are the beat friends we have. We wear leather bands on all our hats, because cott on, woolen, or silk won't wear and won't keep the hat on. Nowadays our hais are made in the East, and made of the best fur of the b t water auima s. ' We can ash them or soak them In water for that luntier, after they havu been exposed to all kinds of weather, and they hoi i their shape as if they were j ist out of the fact ry. They will do service for mauv years. The Stetson" hat is tke hat most oom moul.. used iu the West. They cost from $ to $30. If made to order they cost a great deal more. I have seen hats that cost S50O.

N. Y. Sun. Happy To TVe Hetew. I've noticed that a man can argue on one side unt.l he believes it. When I was a youth we had up thequeti--n : " Which gives us the greatest pleasure, tho pursuit or the possession of an ob ject ?" I was then pursuing a maiden with great alacrity mid pleasi .g prospects, and was Intensely happy in that p-irtiou-lar business, and as 1 had been assigned to that side of the question, I spread myself like a green bay tree to sustain my cause. I dwelt upon the eager and fascinating pleasure with which man pursued fame and fortune, and how vain and empty he found them when once in his possession. I quoted Shaksper. aud reel tea Car dinal Wolsey's soliloquy: "If I had served my God as faithfully as I have served my king," etc., and I sat down with a modest content, for the eyes of the maiden were upon me and I had woo her smiles. Just then one of those rollloklng boys who never prepared himself, but Just opened his mouth and let her talk, roee forward and said : "Well, now suppose, Mr. President, that Brother Arp were a pursuin' a pretty girl that he were in love with just as hard as he could, and were a lougin' for her and dyin' to get her, would he druther keep on pursuin' And pursnln' an' follerin an' follerin' to the little eend of time, or would he druther catch up with her an hold her in his arms an' exclaim, 'She's mine, she's mine, I've got her at last, an" bless the Lord, I'm gwlne to keep her forever an' ever, amen.' I say Brother Arp. upon honor now, which had you druther?" Well, of course I blushed and so tild the maiden, for everybody know our se cret, and everybody cut one eye at me and the other at her. We lo.-t the ense, but I am not yet convinced that I h.-.vo ever seen happier days than my courting days, ami I wouldn t mind being young again and going thro .gh the same rapturous ex perience.

' I was one day out a-flshlng." said an old salt to a London newspaperman, "in about three fathoms of wa'er. It was a r old October day. the water very quiet. There was coullnga, whit ings, poutings ad the like of such fish to c itch In plenty, and I rowed out to see if 1 could alrn a shilun'. " Well, when I came to the place where I reckoned the fish was, I threw in my ours, picked up the boat's anchor end chunked it overboard. Guess my surprise and annoyance when I found that some one had been and gone and cut the cable close to where It was made fast In tho boat. It was the doing of some boys, I suppose ; but, anyways, the anchor took the cable, and away went the whole consarn. " It was a new rope, and I had no notion of losing It and my little anchor as well; sol took a fisiii.g line, put some extra weights upon it, aud se cured the other end to a little cork fender, with wnich I buoyed the t-pot, and then rowed home again for the loan of a creep. " A creep. I may tell ye. Is a contriv ance for sweeping ihe bottom of the water with, to bring up anything ye may have lost. " Well. I got the loan of one, and called to Jimmy Dadds, a chap of about 18 years old, to come out and give me a hand, promising him half a pint. We rowed out, came to the place, and he began to row quietly, while I chucked the creep over. " It hadn't been rfown two n lnutea when it Came across something that felt soft. It wasn't to bepu.led up easy. Tba hold of it anchored the boat. " ' What the blazes have we hooked here !' says I to Jimmy, feeling whatever It was wobbling, as it might be, upon the creep, anu yet refusing to com-! up. " Come and le 's a hand.' He got up, laid hold of the line, and hauled with me. What was coming We couldn't Imagine. "The feel. I tell ye. wa quite slng'lar. It wasn't like a piece of wreck ; It wasn't like a fish ; it wasn't like being foul of a rock. There was a kind o swaying and softness about it, aa if the object wis alive nd was hold ing onto prevent being d rawed up. Haul !' says L " We bent our backs, and started th object out of its uioonsgs below; and what d'ye think came up? " W'hy, sir, there popped half out of water the beautifuliest female as ever ye set ey s ou She looked right at us, tnd I ..ever bee such a tin lie as she had. "She seemed to Le covered with Jewe s, axidher black hairwas a. lwrea. ti ed abo t with tea weed. She had one arm raied out of water, and this was stretched ou. to us as if she entreated us to leave her alone. "Jim, who was the mot Ignorant fool of a lad that ever I met, at sight of her gives a scr-ecli end tumbles right baon wards into the bottom of the boat. ' His falling threw the line out of rn ha d. The woman disappeared, and when I hauled up tho creep for her again the irons cuoie up naked. "I own I was a hi. se red my6elf, butnot so alarmed that I wasn't auxious to go cn cre, ing for her again. Bu. J.uimy refu.ed to have anything more to do with i . lit said no; hid ooai-i o,.t to sweep for ai. anchor, he didn't w: nt no dealings with appar t'o&s. As to the h.il pint. I might drink it my se f. What he required wa to be put ashnre. "HowevT, I wasn't going to leave without my anchor, so I gets the boat Into position again, and at the first throw of the creep I brings up the cable. I th n rowed Jimmy ashore, where, me-.ii ng a couple of men, I tells them i f tho apparition that came up, and in vites t .em to come out and try If another signt could be got of her. Well, they consented, but though I could have swore we swept over the place tw- nty times we never hooked on to the object. It got talked about, and others tiled, bttt to no purpose. Jimmy's yarn made people believe It was a mermaid. Fact Is, he was in suuh a state of funk, he saw a good deal more than I did. or that any other man that had'n'. lo t his head would. 'Ho said she motioned with her hand, as thouuii to drive us away, and that her eyes sparkled. I wouldn't deny my self that she looked a if he: dress was coated with Jewe s and pearls, at least as much of her dress as I could see; and there's no denying, also, that her hair was a beautbul black, and as she rose to th.- surface, looked to bed au g and flliiii under the seaweed that hung about her hair so graceful y you uiint ha' swore it was her sweetheart's doing." But it watn't a mermaid, ot oourse," said I. Well, I dun no, I'm sure," h an swered. "The newspapers said," ex claimed another man, " that It must ha' been s ship's figurehead." "Aye." 6aid another seaman, with some little show of resentment, as though refuting an argument that an ..oyed him. " It's all vary fine saying it might have been a figurehead. But why was it never come across again? How was it that me and the soore of others who tried for it never oouid hook it? " I'm not going for to say that shs was alive, for I aiu t such a fool as Jim' my ; but neither are ye going to get me to believe that the smiling, beautiful figure as rose up gil U-rmg with jewels wus a carvin' out of wood, and so I tells ye. What it was I dun no, but I do know what Itwarn't." And. after this wise speech, looking very gravely at me. he filled his pipe afresh and eat smoking thoughtfully. How m KtsloH Made Hi Mousy.
