SECRETS OF THE PALM.
Outlines of Character and Prospects of the
Future Itevvaletl.
A prominent expounder of palmistry, in
explaining the methods of bis art to a re
porter, said:
"The reason we are ablo to discern many
hidden truths from the simple iusectioii of
tho subject's hand is, briefly, in this way.
We know from having observed the charac
teristics of iiinumerablo people that persons
with this or that hand hare such and such
characteristics. Certain occupations produce
certain hues in tho hand, and wo can most
always teil the person's occupation from the
character of his hand. Knowing his occupa
tion, it is not very difficult to tell his chnrf.
teristics.
"Tho lines of life and accident uro lixed,
and the predictions which we are ablo to
make from an inspection of them are almost
invariably fulfilled. There is a certain line
in the hand which tells mo that tho subject
bos recently passed through a serious diffi
culty of some kind. You remember when
Kate Claxton came so near losing her life in
tho Tark theatre Are in Brooklyn a number
of years ago. Well, I was in St. Louis at
the time, and was an enthusiast iu palmistry.
I traveled all the way to New York to see
whether that line indicating difficulties had
developed in her hand. I inspected her palm,
and there was the line as plain as day.
"Here is another instance. In my youth
the line of life indicated that I would die at
about the age of thirty-six. I had looked
forward to the time with some dread, and
when it canio, sure enough I was laid low
with a serious illness. The doctors gave me
up and were about to arrange for my fune
ral, but my will dominated tho disease. I
simply said to myself: 'Here, it isn't time for
you to dijyet awhile. Your business is in
bad shape and you can't leave your family in
this way. You must recover.' And recover
I did.
"The lines of marriage are less distinct
than those of accident and death, but never
theless, we can toll pretty accurately whether
a man is to be married at all and if so bow
often. A man of domestic, affectionate and
impressionable characteristics will in all
probability take unto hbiiself a wife. More
wives dio and are divorced than husbands,
therefore it is pretty safe to say that this
impressionable man will marry twice. There
is the man who has the Shylock hand. It is
easy enough to tell that he will attempt to
gather great riches. Then tbero is the. man
with the fat, pudgy band. He's" generous.
The man with long," taper fingers is likely to
bo an artist and.- ta havo artist's character
istics. And so on with the other kinds of
handi
"You may smile when I tell you, but it is
a fact, nevertheless, that it is the most in
telligent class of people who have the great
est faith in palmistry. You can't satisfy an
ignorant person by telling him, what his
capabilities are- or. what special line of useful
ne$i ia can 'pursue with the best prospect of
success. He wonts to know everything of
his post and future, aud if you can't tell him
be is dissatisfied. On the other band, an in
telligent person knows that the art oi palm
istry does not pretend to go as far as that
and is satisfied" with' the simple character
reading. It is curious, but true, that nothing
is more interesting to the average isan or
woman than hearing abqut himself or herself.
That's what brings most of my visitors here.
".They have their own opinions of the char
acteristics, but like to have them confirmed
by an expert. I do not say that a man is a
poet, a musician, an artist, an orator or an
artisan because his hand presents certain
features, lines or mounts, but being of a
certain character and in possession of certain
powers his hands reveal the chsrier. The
soul is the real ix,ai, and the body Is simply
its material manifestation. The body exists
and subsists from the spirit for its use and
changes naturally solely in obedience to the
power and direction of the spirit. It can be
changed mechartally by outsido forces, but
it can ba developed ouly by tho spiritual and
vital force working within iL
"Tho palm of the band shows physical
strength, endurance, activity, or their oppo
sites. It is also a health bulletin. It shows
also the appetites and inclinations. The
lower part, next tc, th wrist, iiidicates. ani
mal strength, and instincts when prominently
developed, the middle of the hand the power

patch. A Snake for a Dell.
In Richland, Ga., Mrs. Major's little boy,
about 2 years old, has a very large cat that
ho plays horse with. They found the other
day, near the house, a snake over three feet
long. The cat tried to kill the snake, but tho
little boy took it away from the cat and car
ried it in his arms to his mother, telling her
he bad found a doIL His mother was so ex
cited that she could do nothing but scream,
which scared the child and caused it to drop
the snake and go to his mother. The snake
was killed and found to be what is called a

to give up his doll, but his mother promised
him another and he was satisfied. Dawson

England has already a strong hold ujkiii
the Malay pemiisuht, but among tho ti ilx-s of
Malacca, which aroiu.t subject to her, is that
of Johore. Johoro is bigger than Mus.-aeliu-si-lte,
and it is governed by n fcultun; wh has
nUmte power and is 0110 of tho few indi-R-i:lcnt
Malay rajahs still living. I iiin.li mi
excursion to Johore; vixited the capital, ami
there met this mit noted Malay rul r. leav
ing Singapore at sunrise, our carriage was
driven by a Malay coachman, and wo had a
gray whiskered, barefooted East Indian in a
red gown and turban as a guide. Wo drove
for miles on a road as level as tho floor and
as well kept as a race track, through planta
tions of cocoanuts and coffee.
COCOANUTS AND COKFES.
We first paused great estates with beautiful
groumls and w ido drives, and then on out
into the jungle. The groen cocoanuts hung
by the bushels in great bunches from tho bp
of tall palm trees, each of which was from tA)
to 100 foet high, and with a trunk of from
0 to 12 inches in diameter. The bark was
grayish white, and there were no leaves
until tho very top, upon which tho cocoanuts
grew. Some of these groves liad thousand
of trees, and they all looked as though they
were drunken rn tlioir own milk. They
1 ., .. ';. ,
maudlin jollity. Tho coffee estates consisted
of green bushes alxnit eight feet high with
many branches, and the coffee grows close to
the branch, and the yellow fruit is the size
of small damson plums; each plum coutaius
two seeds, surrounded by pulp, and these
seeds are the coffee grains. They are culti
vated, and the estates showed that they had
been but lately plowed.
This road across tho island of Singapore
was lined with jungle, which was nt time3
so thick that you could not see more than
two feet leyond the roadway. When it is re
membered that GOO people are killed every
year here by tigers, and that tho lower part of
the Malay peninsula is tho home of tho wild
beast, it will be seen that tho possibilities wero
both numerous and unpleasant. Wo passed
through a numlor of Malay Chinese villages,
and we saw many black sknined natives of
Java with nothing but breech clouts upon
them, working upon tho roadway. Now aud
then wo would meet a cart drawn by heavy
Indian bullocks, with great humps of fat six
inches high above their shoulders, and with
their black skinned driver in a turban, sitting
or standing upon tho heavy cart tonguo.
These bullocks push tho cart along with the
front of their shoulders. Their yokes do not
come around the neck, as do thosa of our
oxen, and they get over tho ground three
times as fast. They are tho beasts-.' burden
in this part of the world. They do all tho
carting and hauling and they are among tlio
most picturesque sights of this picturesque
country. Their drivers are straight, liu,
wiry men, who scowl at yon as you pass,
and who, with all their black skins, havo
features es regular as tho boat you will flud
In your city. I snapped my camera upon
one of them as he passed, and tho black
skinned driver swore at me iu Hindostanco
as I did so.
IU AN AMERICAN ROCKING CIIAIIV,
Half way across the island, our driver
6topped and changed the Loi-sea of our car
riage for a reky which had beeu sent on
ahead. Then, the Malay jehu whipped up
and we rode on through inoro villages and
more jungle until we came to the straits of
Singapore, on tho opposite side of which
was the main land and Johore. A Chinese
boat carried us across thoio. and wo were
landed at tho wharf of tho sultan's palace.
A beautiful lawn of many acres slopes by
half a dozen terraces to tho water's edo.
Above this lies the palace, which is reached
by wiuding drjvos, ud away to the right
shine tho blue and yellow buildings of the
city of Johore, which the sultan baa built
within tho last few years fer his capital, and
which he laid out in the original jungle. Tho
palace Is a largo gray and white two story
building, with wide porticoes and many largo
windows looking out upon the water. It is,
perhaps, 200 feet long and at least half thpt
depth.
Soldiers, in a costum-a half European, keep
guard jn. front o it, and others in turbans
march up and down through its various cor
ridors. Some of these soldiers are olive
brown Malays, others are as black as ebony,
and the officer who received my letters and
took thcuu in to the sultan was dressed in
European clothes, with a Malay surong or
skirt shining out under his coat. After wait
ing a moment the sultan himself appeared.
A tall, fine looking, broad shouldered, light
yellow man with gray hair, black eyes and
gray mustache. He wore ft suit of white
duck with a la vandor. ekivt reaching to his
knees, and with bracelets of solid geld ropa
as thick as your finger around each of lli
wrists. There T?Vi rtiansoud rl"-- on his
fings? he had - 'urown plush turban
.I'ead. He spoke English perfectly,
saook hands with me cordially and gave me
a seat in an American rocking chair in his
audience chamber, while ho took another for
himself at my side. He talked of tho de
cadence of the Malay people, and said that
the Chinese made much better workers. Ha
needed them for the development of bis king
dom, and he was glad to havo their immigra
tion. He talked of his travels and told mo he
needed only to visit America to complete Lis
tour of the world. He had visited in England,
and had been so well entertained that he was
always glad to give Europeans a welcome
when they came to his kingdom.
He had visited China and Japan, and while
in England he had gone one day to Liverpool
to see a lady friend off for America. "I went
down to the ship," said ho, "and I put my
friend on board. It was only seven day3 to
New York, and had I remained I might have
visited your country. I am very sorry I did
not do so, for I think America is great and
your people are a great and kind people.
