SECRETS OF THE HAND. Thlnas That 4f» llnmlnl to th* Tom. Ii or the Blind. Tli*> handshake of mmc people moke* j yon think of aoeldent and sudden death. Contrast this ill l»ahng band with the quick, skillful, quiet hand of j a nurse whom l remeinlier with as fectlon because she took ttie l**st care of my teadier. 1 have cla*|ied the 1 han.is of some rlcli people lliat spin j not and toil not unit yet are not beautiful. Beneath their soft, smooth roominess wliut a chaos of undeveloped character; All this Is my private science of palmistry, and when I tell your fortune it is by no mysterious intuition or gypsy witchcraft, hut by natural, explicable recognition of the embossed character in your band. Not only Is the hand as easy to recognize as the face, but It reveals its secrets more openly ami unconsciously. IVsiple cou ! trol their countenances, hut the hand j is under no such restraint. It relaxes and becomes listless when the spirit i is low and dejected, the muscles tight- ! en when the mind is excited or the j heart glad, and perm a neat qualities stand written on it u!l the time. As there are many beauties of the face, so the la-autiea of tlie liautl are many. Touch has its ecstasies. The bands of people of strong individuality and sensitiveness are wonderfully mo- j bile. In a glance of their huger tips j they express many shades of thought. Now and again I touch a flue, graceful. supple wristed hand which spells with tlie same beauty and distinction 1 that you must see in the handwriting j of some highly cultivated people. 1 wish you could ee how prettily little children spoil in my hand. They artwild flowers of humanity ami their finger motions wild flowers of speech.— Helen Keller in Century

The Imltiairt of Ihlh'lum It la Pre* rlfttiß Htiotl*. The sole curiosity for sightseer* In the city of Hanoi, a town of the French Totupiln, is the industry of Inlaying mother of pearl in precious woods. In fact, one street, called the Street of the Inlayers, is given up to the trade. The workmen are genuine artist*, combining artistic perception wltti great manual skill. Furnished with rude tools, hut with great patience and skill, these workmen produce articles of great beauty. They have applied the principle of division of labor, or spec'alization. to their work. Tiie cabinet makers tirst put together the various parts of the materials to lie incruated. Tiie Joining is done without tiie aid of uails and with a nice system of dovetailing an i use of paste, of which lacquer is tiie base. From this cabinet maker the wood passes into the hands of the de signer, who makes sketches for its oriiMiiieutatiou ou rice paper. These designs are transferred to the wood by the iula.ver. whose duty It is to choose the pearl that will best serve to bring out the beauty of the design. The mother of pearl is obtained from a large species of shellfish, called casque, caught chiefly upon the shores of the island of Foulocoudar. The iulayer cuts the pieces of pearl Into little hit* aud chooses the combination of colors which will make the contrast accessary for the artistic success of his work. The iridescence 1* j heightened by the use of pearl dust furnished by a kind of mussel taken i from the brooks of that region. When ! the bits of mosaic are ctaosett the in- I layer tri-w to give them the form of tiie design chosen aud disposes them as a j mosaic in the wood. The crude morsel j is made translucent by pumice stone ] The pearl is then fixed in a vise, and the labor of patience begins. Kneeling before the vise, lie shape* the pieces with a lile no larger than an ordinary color erayon. When the pearl is sluqied it is neeessnry to trench it in the wood. | This is ordinarily done by children j fourteen or fifteen years old. Tiie lilts ! of pearl are then set in the grooves ami fixed with paste. The whole is gently heated to melt tiie paste and so i fill the interstices. Tiie design is then ' polished, varnished and given tiie fin- j tailing touches. The work lias been 1 counterfeited, hut never successfully. - New York Herald. Discovery of tiie Irhlltyiioar. Ichthyosaurus is a name much jested with because It rivals the mastodon as a most widely known fossil, dating j hack to its discovery by Sir Edward 1 It. Home, between I*l4 and lSlit. In the marine deposits of Lynie-Ilegls. | England. The name, signifying "fish 1 lizard," shows that tills animal impressed Konig, its describe!-, as having ! a fishllko biu-klmne combined with a 1 shoulder girdle of the lizard or saurian ] ty|M>. This term could not have been more happily chosen, because, while retalnlng the skeleton of an atavistic and extremely ancient lizard, the Ichthyo- ■ saur evolved a most strikingly modern external likeness to certain very familiar animals of the sea.—Henry FairHeld < (shorn in Oenturv.
