Carlona Koenlt of an Experiment.
At Jacksonville. Fla.. Sunday, while a
number of gentlemen were engaged in
conversation on Hogan Street, it was
propose! to place a silver twenty-five
cent piece in the ceutte of the walk and
8ce how many persons would pass with
out picking it up.
On the first trial 19 passed, but the
twentieth saw the coin and was in the
a't ct picking it up when told the
object for which it was placed there, and
he passed along.
The money remained on the walk for
upward of an hour in open view, and on
an average one out of every ten who
passed saw it, but all, on being let imo
the experiment, allowed it to remain
until a man came along, picked It up,
And t-ok it off wita him, Savannai.

Caries. Snpe;ctions M Chorwlnjr e rert
n. r f..r LiTe. -Un(U the Index to
1 baracter.
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.
Had Gwendolen Har.eth studied p.bn
istry, no laise hopes of ' managing bet
ter than mamma" would have lured hr
into matrimony.
Beware, ye fiances, of heart lines,
chained, crossed and harassed by little
lines ; they tell of fickleness London
Standard.

BIG HATS AND LONG HAITI.
The volution of the Texan Snmhrfro,
end tho Advmnteaje of Cowboy. 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.
Bull do Bill has had many hats of
that kind presented to him fro n people
that be has guided safely across the

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

Origin of Slavery to America.
The employment of negro slaves wad
begun through motives of humanity.
Seeing how cruelly the Spaniards
worked the poer natives in the biiver

out of pure cenevolence, recommended
the employment ot negroes because
lhey were stronger than the Indians.

THE SPLENDID MERMAID.
How Jerk S.W One. or Something; Vary
Like One, hot Couldn't Catch Her.
' 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.
