READING THE HAND, moat Murdero•s, It ie Said, Show Their Characters In Their Palms, A .G'rench savant Contends that the murderer has a distinetive hand. Ma face may not be hideous, but the bands are and are self condemnatory. videnee on the latter characteristic is scanty and rests upon the invest'. gatlons or the French criminologists; but, as to the former, It Is a fact that some of the most brutal Murders on record have been perpetrated by men whuse countenances habitually wore a very mild expression. Deeming was a pleasant man to speak to until crossed, but seine or the authorities who examined his hands declare his broad thumb indicated the horn murderer. ''it.; true ballheaded thumb gives to the first phalange a round, bulbous ap- pearance. It is short, and .the nail b ,o abbreviated as to suggest that it has been gnawed. It is embedded in the flesh„ which rises on either side and, beyond it. Dumollard, a wholesale murderer, had a hand remarkable for its thick- ness and length of palm in proportion to the fingers. fie had a significant slgu, common to most- murderers - namely, almost entire absence of lines in the palm, save the three principal oes-the lines of life, head and heart, These lines were very strongly defined. The line of the head --the center line extending across the palm -was vio- lently cut by the line of life running upward from the wrist. Chirolnancy Interprets this to foretell a violent deatb. Ris Sngers were knotty and uneven at the nail phalanges. THE ART OF NORWAY. It Reflects the Early Peasant and the National Character. Long before the art of painting was practiced in Norway the Norwegian peasant, like his Magyar contempo- rary, had developed an art that was and still remains thoroughly national. The Norwegian peasant art, like thdt of other countries, is characterized by a primitive purity of color that antici- pates the art of today and forms. so to speak, a connecting link that ties the present to the past. I1' we remember the crude vigor and bold color of this early peasant art we shall perhaps bet- ter understand contemporary Norwe- gian art. Temperamentally they are the same. We find 1n both the same charactoris• tie forthrightness of expression, the same bold, uncompromising design and color. Moreover, both are alike in that the aim of each is to fill a given space with a design that will form a decora- tion. Much of modern art is in this direction, and contemporary Norwe- gian art is no exception to this. If this art appears somewhat rough and crude, more forceful and original than polished and ingratiating, it is the fault of the national character rather than of the art itself. We are not a suave people; we are somewhat blunt and direct, and these racial qualities are expressing themselves more and more in our art as it gradually emanci- pates itself from foreign influences and returns to its basic character. -J. Nil- sen Laurvik in Century. Light of the Firefly. Probably as far back as 1733 it was known that the luminous parts of fire- flies, glowworms, etc., could be dried and preserved out of contact with the air for considerable periods without losing their light giving power. In late years it has been possible to prove this permanence of the light giving power for at least eighteen months. Kastle and McDermitt were able, upon open- ing tubes containing the luminous or- gans of the common firefly preserved in hydrogen or a vacuum; to obtain quite a brilliant light by simply mois- tening with water. The light was in- creased when hydrogen peroxide re- placed water. However, scientists have yet to discover the firefly's secret of producing light without heat. A City of Corpses. The city of Kum, in Persia, has long bad a reputation as a city of corpses. There are said to be more illustrious dead buried in Kum than in any other Persian city except Meshad. One of the few women honored In the country of the shah has a magnificent shrine erected here -Fatima, sister of Imam Reza. Eleven hundred years ago she was laid to rest in Kum, and every- body who is anybody in Persia still de- sires sepulture beside her.- London Chronicle.

To the Editor: Arthur Mee, writing in a British Daily1,tells the story of what he calls "TI°ie Goliath of England," and the fear of ter instilled into every Government of Britain. He says a British Govern- ment that was not afraid of beer would be a spectacle indeed for gods and Kaisers. A British Government that could conquer beer would make counsels jump for joy and Germans fly for their lives. For it has been the unwritten law of Governments since most of us were born, that you must not touch this thing. You may take a man's house in England now, you may take his motor car, or his workshop, or the business he has built up in the last fifty years, you may take away his liberty and his only son, but you must not touch his beer, And what is this thing before which kings and ' governments i bow down? What has it done for us in these bitter days, in the days in which we should have found the, strength which we need so sorely now? Ifit is true, as it is, that in fifty years we have thrown away an army as great as we have under arms to -day, it is beer that has consum- ed quite half of it. It has cut down the flower of our manhood less quickly but not less horribly than German shells are doing now. It has bred weak joints, weak muscles, weak brains and little, stunted bodies with feeble minds, where we should have had men fit for soldiers, and women fit to make a soldier's home. It has chained our men in slums that are not worth fighting for; it has put a mill stone around the neck of ,industry, so that we t, have lagged behind our enemy; it has poured our wealth into the gutter; it has written "rejeeted as unfit" against °the names of half a million men who were willing to join our army. And how did our beer god help us when the hour of peril struck at last? It is just a year since it imperilled our national safety and we are not likely to forget it. This time last year when the fate of Europe in the balance the beer god stalked abroad in every street and factory and dockyard and held sway so mightily that the director of Transports warned the Government that supplies to the Army and Navy might stop; the director of naval equipment warned the Government that ship -building might come to a stand -still; manufacturers of explosives warned the Government that they might not be able to deliver the goods ; and Admiral Jellicoe warned the Government that the efficiency of the Fleet was Imperilled. It is not open to dispute that, with the money lost through drink, we could pay off as the war goes on, five shillings of every pound that the war is costing us; it is riot open to dispute that something like this is being actually done in Russia now, and it is not doubted that the stopping of vodka has saved the Russian Army and the Russian people. Who, outside an asylum, can believe this simple truth,-tbe power of beer in England --that depending on foreign sources for our food, we set aside as much land for beer and whiskey as for bread? B.

It pays to make a long sea- son by having both early and late fruits, In carrying out this idea with tree fruits the June plum comes promin- ently into the scheme. Strawberries, bush fruits, cherries, harvest apples, etc., open the season, and for four months there may be a good income from these products. Just here I would like to em- phasize the importance of farm can- ning operations, 13y simple canning methods which every intelligent housekeeper understands and which beginners readily learn fruit pro- ducts are doubled in value and may be kept almost indefinitely. There is a large waste of garden and or- chard products unless the owner em- ploys preserving and canning pro- cesses. PIums, as a rule, are hardy and prolific.

She told of how she polished floors and wood- work and the endless doors, until when Hubby saw thele, too, reflections said: "Why, howdy -do!" "The Gold Dust Twins," said she, "I find, help Leave the woes of dust behind. Each mark of sticky hands on doors, each tread of muddy feet on floors, all fade before the slightest touch of Gold Dust, and the work is such that, when the woodworkhas been done, I find said work was only fun." This line of reasoning must show that those who've tried it OUGHT to know. "If you, in one day's duties, find that there's a Grouch in ev'ry Grind, invite the Gold Dust Twins to share such tasks as tire and fret and wear. From kitchen floor to bedroom suite, these tireless little chaps make neat, and best of all, the suzn expense is measured up in meager Gents.

The trees are hardy, and little trouble is exper- ienced from insects. In the spring there ata; u..:tally some insect pests, but if once destroyed there is no more trouble for the rest of the sea- son. The plums are easy to harvest, as, the trees are not very high, The money for this product of the farm comes when other fruit crops are be- ginning to ripen, and on most farms it is greatly appreciated. Currants and gooseberries, like plums, give the farmer a few days in which to turn around. The work of picking, marketing, and canning is less urgent than with strawberries. In planning a little farm all these facts must be kept in mind. Then there aro other products which seem to harmonize with fruit growing and help to keep up a cash income with- out a great deal of drudgery. Poul- try and bees belong in this category. Honey is an interesting side line to fruit growing that may be profitably enlarged upon in many localities with benefits accruing two ways. The honey crop itself is often a money crop, and aside from this bees are about the best thing going to de- velop full fruiting and perfect fruit in an orchard. There are many instances where people with old orchards uncertain and unsatisfactory in fruiting have developed them into fine producers by keeping a lot of bees and distri- buting the colonies over the orchard so that they get at the trees in bloom time. It may be necessary -probably will -to grow other crops to supply the bees, such as white clover, buck- wheat, alfalfa, and so on. However, the return from the honey crop will justify all this. Meantime the bees will get part of their support from, the apple trees while they are in bloom, and in return they will im- prove the quality and yield of the apple crop itself enough to make them a profitable investment. Of course some people take more kindly to or have better success with bees than others. It is a mistake to be easily disheartened. Bees seem essential to the welfare of orchards, and those who have had trouble and become discouraged should persist in efforts to keep an apiary. By con- tinued study and experiments diffi- culties can be overcome, and in time the bees can be made profitable them- selves, while at the same time they contribute materially to the profits of fruit growing by the work of fer- tilizing the trees while in bloom. r -r1 ... t z •r-s+--i-e4e4i•-s-i ORCHARD AND GARDEN. 11 t II I -1-1-1-1-14-1-1-4-1-1-1-1-I-1-1-41-14+-14-4 Lettuce for use in hotbeds should be sown now.
