Hani-Readig. riThe theories for determining personal traits from manifestations made in shaking hands must include many of the priuciples underlying the art, of palmistry, which, without studying it seriously, has had a strong fascination for me, as it. has for most persons when their attention is once attracted to It. It Is anl anclent, art. The Gypsies have had some knowledge of it from thie inmemorial, and yet it is still older than this singular race. Those versed in its recondite lore state that it was pursu ed in connection with magic. alchemy, and other occult sciences; by the priesthood of -early Egypt. An intelligent Jew has in formed ine that among his people are many traditions referrihg to its practice by then in remote ages. As one interesting legend runs, Moses mastered its secrets while dwelling at the Court of the Pharoahs, and when leading the hosts of Israel out of boi dage made continual use of the knowledge it gave hin. Thus no Hebrew was instai led into an ofilce of trust under him unt il the great conunander had read from his. hand that he was worthy of confidence. It Is claimed that an allusion is inade to pahn 18try in the thirty-seventh chapter of .Job, seventh verse, which reads: "lie sealeth up the hand of every man, that all n:en may knew his work," the interpretation being that a token of every act which a man commits is sealed or stamnpcd by the Creator upon his hand, in oider that his recol-d may there he open to the world. From the Egyptians the princil)Ies of palm istry passed to the Greeks and Homais, and from them oi down to later nations. Among the literary treasures of ancient and iediouvai times still preserved to us, there are some 400 or 600 volumes which treat of the science, and generally inl con Junction with astrology. When at. the revival of learning the "black arts," as they are called, fell into disrepute, Ialinistry went with them as a consequence of having so closely kept them company. During tihe last century it was once more recovered from oblivion through the accidental I quirks of a French military officer. This gay man of the world happened to have exceedingly handsoie hands, of which lie was inunensely vain, seeking every occa sion to disl)hiy them. A habitual an tendant at the salons of his cultivated Parisian friends, lie there, as everywhere, devoted himself to the insecxtion of the hands of his neighbors to bring out in comparison the superior beauty of his own. The most famous IiInist of the preseiit (lly is Monsi enr Desbarales, whos,. maiinuals are accepted as the first authorities oil the subject. 1is residence is in Paris, where lie follows tie profession of hand-reading, as tie Messrs. Fowler do that of phrenology. With i a microscope Ie searchingly examihes the paillns of his clients, discerning inl te hiest lines imuprinted"there, records of inleidlents making up their life history. it is testilled by those knowing his skill, that ie does not miss an event in one's-whole pasi ex perience, however crowded it. imay have been w-ih vicissiltides. The flitre of :in individual the palmist. cannot pretend(l to unfold, except as lie may shrewdly predict from what lis gone by, that which is likely to be its sequel. Afiss Ulara Louise Kellogg possesses a considerably knowledge of pahn istry, and I have seen her interpret charic ter by its indien(tions witi undeniable accuracy. "The first thitig I notice," was her remark, 'oi mineet ing a stranger, is t lie hand. That tells me imore of an indiviiinal in a moment thanl I coul! otherwise learn in years of acquaintance. " leir own hands are noted for their comeliness, tbut she frankly pointed out certain (efects in their shape, which, however, would scarcely be discovered, except by all edhited eye.

The larmner who inowed his clover, and especially he who grow a second crop for seed, was thought to be "ruining his land.'' So lie wns most undoubtedly, if the clover hay was sold from the farm. In the old days of exclusive wheat growing, scarcely any farmor had stock enough to eat one-hall or even mnc-qitarter of' the clover that the farm produced.

Of late years, however, the increase of stock necessi tates the use of more clover as hay.
