Yonng people may still and a good deal of amusement in the exanaination of the hand for signs of chara,cter. It is absurd to judge any one by these signs, but the process is pleasing. eA few id the ttles are as follows: If the palm of the hand be long, and the fingers well proportioned -not soft, but rather hard -it denotes the peon• to be ingenious, changeable, and given to theft and vice. li the hands be hollow, solid, and well knit in the jointe, it predicts long life; but if ever thwarted, then it de- netes short life. Observe the finger of Mercury -the little one. If the end of it exceeds the joint of the third finger, such a man will rule in his house, and his wife will ebo pleasing and obedient to him; but if it be short, and does not reach ,the joint, he will have a shrew, and she will be boss. Broad nails show a person tion be bash- ful and. fearful, but of a gentle. nature. Narrow nails denote the person to be inclined to mischief and to do injury to his neighbors. Long nails show a person to be good natured, but distrtistful, and loving re- coiactiliation rather than differences, Oblique nails show deceit and went of courage. Little round nails signify obstinacy, anger, and hatred. If they are crOoked at the extremity they show pride and fierceness. Round nails show a choleric p rson, yet eocia reconciled ; honesty, a lot er of secret science. Fleshy nails denote the person to be, mild m temper, idle and lazy., Pale or black nails show the pers n to be very deceitful to his neighbor anq. sub- ject to mauy di4ases. Red and inark d nails signify c oleric and martial natu e, and as many little marks as there are speak so man., evil desires. The Testara nt vs. the Psto1. A good idea w s that of the ma con- verted in _Raymoi d Street Jail, rho klyn, mentioned} at the Fulton Street Payer - ,Meeting. After he got out he c rried about with him a Testament wh re he had formerly ca tiecl a pistol, ad he feund the Testa in ent the better d fence of the two. We recommend his example to all who carry e istols for the follOwing reasons: 1. If a man gets angry, and la -8 his hand on his weapon, the pistol may kill his opponent and, involve himself in end- less trouble -perhaps imprisonmeot for life, whereas, if he pulls out his Testa- ment, both his own wrath and that of his opponent will evaporate at the sight of it. . 2. If his children find his pistol they may very likely shoot themselves or some One else with it, whereas if they find his Testament, they can do no harm with it, but his example in carrying it may do them great good. . 3. A pistol is costly, to begin with, and needs from time to time, supplies of powder and balls, as well as the trouble of loading it. The New Testameut is very cheap, always charged., and ready to fire oft at any mark, and ite chambers are never exhausted. 4. A pistol is as far removed as pos- sible from being a light to the feet and 4 lamp to the path. The Testament is both. In these and many other respects the Testament has clearly an iutinite su- periority to the pistol, and it should be the choice of all sensible men for a pocket compamon. There are rnany who are never without it, who make it the -man of their counsel, and w -ho regularly use its ani munition, Reader, which would you choose for the teacher of you children, or the hus- band of your daughter, or the executor of your will -the man with a pistol in his pocket or the man with the Testa- ment ?-21r. T. WiMess. A Base Trick Strangers often remark that Detroit ladies seera to have a great fondness for carrying gold watches, and any person. walking teti blocks on Peyton Avenue, on Front street, will see, if it is a fine day, at least one hundred ladies with gold chains hanging down to the watch poc- ket. But is the watch there? On a WoodWard avenue car, yesterday, there were half a dozen ladies and only one gentleman. Satan must have put him up to do a mean thing. Taking out his watch, he looked at it, shook it, sighed heavily, and said: Ought to have been cleaned a week I ago. Will you please give me the time ?" The lady had on a magnificent chain,' but she blushed, half rose, sat down again, and whispered: " My -my watch -is out of order." "You have the time, perhaps ?" he asked of the next. " Y -yes, sir -it's ten o'clock," she re- plied, looking out of the windrow. " Does your time agree with that ?" he asked of the third. "I believe so," shecoldly replied, though she well kiiew that her chain was pinned to her dress. What does your watch say ?" he smilingly asked of the fourth. " It's a little slow, I think," she answered, drawing her shawl closer. The fifth lady had a watch, and a fine one, too. She drew it out, made as much display as possible, and called out: "Ten minutes past eleven !" The gentleman smiled, the four ladies bit their lips and scowled, the driver shook the mina and called out: Go on, noW, you old raw -bones !" --Detroit Free _Press. qt. re of House Plants in Winter. I Tile Gardepers' Monthly some time ago called attention to the success of a lady who filled her flower -pots to the brim and even mounded the earth in the centre. In reference to this it says, this plan will not please skilled gardeners, nor ought it to do so. They will get along better in the old way. But an ex- tended experience with window garden- ing teaches as that the pot plants almost always fail from trio much rather than too little water, and we feel, therefore, that there is virtue in the full pot plan. It is almost impossible to over -water a pot when it is packed quite full of earth. Saucers must, of course, be kept under window plants, in order to guard the carpets from water. But the water must not be allowed to stand in the saucers. When it has all passed through the pot, the saucers should be emptied. Hanging baskets, on the other hand, are generally too dry. Besides the daily wilaritigsAout owe a *reek tifey �iould b� immad hi * bucket et Water. :Win- dow Vlas4e about& not 1 kept very mho it thfs own. They should lave all the sun and air, and as little of the artificial heat of the1 room. as possible. These remarks aitply espebially to mignonette, which is I very impatient of in -door cOntinement. I Sueculents, such as cacti, are excellent window plants in this respeet, as the dry air does noti af- fect theria.' To keep the air about the plants most is one of the secrets of win- dow culture. Some who have very fine windows well stocked with fine plants, ma,ke glad cases with folding doors to them, by Which, when the room is highly heated and very dry, they can be in- closed in an atmosphere of their own. In such cases, ferns and mosses can be , grown to perfection, and pendent plants le hanging vases give a Braziliais folrest appearance to our happy Christmas homes. Freaks of the Registr. The Colui mbus (Ga.) Enquirer as the following IF " We havtaa file of the city registration since 1863. , It is queer how seine peeple grow. In 1863 a leading manufectureegave his age as 44, itt 1876 he is only 46 years old. He grows slowly. A shoe merchant in 1863 was 37, but in 1876 he &dna to be only 47. But it is the old bachelors and widowers who grow old slowly. One widower, a mer- chant, in 1863, was 54. In thirteen years he has only reached 64. Ony old bacheloriii•egistered himself in 18(J3 as 32, but find in 1876 he has only reached 41. Another of the Barnes cies was 36 in 1863, but has allowed the air to,grow so as to nover the bald spot, and he now..re isters 45." . How Some 44ir1s Were Named The Denver (Qol.) ,Tribuve has this story: “Twelve years ago a • family moved from Illinois to this city!. Soon after arriving here a daughter was born Ito the feznale head of the household, and ibeing favorably impressed with the coun- try and hopeful for the lOoknut, they named. the youngster Great Prospects. NOt long since another daughter was born, and a name was found it) 4 singu- lar manner. The names of Illinois and r2olorado were reversed, and the little one is now doomed to go through the w rld as Sionilli Odaroloc. In the mean - ti e, Greet Prospects has grown to be of considerable size, and in this regatd the family are probably realizing the faith implied by the naming. As 'yet, at least, there has appeared no ceuse for the reversal of the name, and. she has only suffered by a diminution of her cog- nomen to the common word Specks." • Origin of the Polka. About 1830 a peasant girl, being in service in a tradesman's family' at El- besteinitz, in Bohemia, beguiled herself one Sunday afternoon in her kitchen by endeavoring to invent a new steP, which she tried to adapt toa village song. While thus disporting herself, she was surprised by her employer, whir, quite interested, made her repeat the experi- ment the same evening in the parlor, where Joseph Neruda, an eminent mu- sician, happened to be present, who ' noted the air and step. Not long after- : wards the new dance was danced at a citizen's ball in the town, and in 1835 came into'fashiou at Prague, where, in consequence of the half-step which oc- curs iu it, it was called the Pulke, which means in Tcheque, half. Four years l band fr g musicians brought I the dance to Vienn , where it had a grefit success, and n 1840 a dancing ; master of Prague, nalmed Raab, danced ! it for the first time i4 Paris. —Allgenteine, a Bffect of a .Texs Hailstorm. Lieutenant.Hall, with a -detachment of his tones was returning to Goliad, and were ationt two miles above the Farley Crossing, 'd_n, the San Antonio River, four miles fromlown, when a storm of hail struck thene. One hailstone struck one of his men and knocked him from his horse. Lieutenant Hall dismounteland endeavored to protect. himself from the pelting hail and rain. His horse -escap- ing, he then protected himself as best he could behind a small tree, being the only thing he could reach for protection. The man whowas knocked from bis horse was considerably hurt. Captain Henry Scott, who was five or six miles from Goliad, on the Resugio road, was struck by a large-sized hailstone !that made him disnsounteto protect himself. The width of the most violent part of the 'storm was about one mile, and we have heard of it only from about ten miles up the river to seven miles below. The hail in its course knocked every leaf off the trees, beating the grass down as though there had been a fire passed over the entire extent of its course. Many of the stones.were as large as a man's fist. The pasture fence of D. R. Fent was blown down or -literally taken up and carried off fee one or two miles. In the sweep of the storm it would take up one hundred or two hundred yards of fence, then -pass over many panels, and. come down again and carry awayenother part. —Galveston News, Nov. 6. About Beer. I t would puzzle one to explain the hold of beer upon popular esteem. Foam- ing and amber -colored to the sight, thin and bitter to the take, the neophyte re- gards it with disgust; the habitual toper quaffs it with alacrity. In some of the states of Germany the manufacture and supply of beer is an important function of the goyernment, and citizens will re- sent a deterioration in the ,quality. of their beverage as quickly as au increase. of taxation. There have been riots oc- casioned by attempts to increase the price of beer or diminish the size of the regulation glass. To some. communities items of beer news are more profoundly interesting than any other specimen of intelligence. The citizens of Strasburg, insGermany, arel said to devote their most anxious consideration to the con- dition of their beer. The morning is de- voted to trial drinks at the various res- taurant, and then the news goes circu- lating round_ that elochhimmerspittel, for instance, "has the best beer to -day,' and in the evening all the Strasburgers congregate at the places selected during the morning. As the serious business of drinking then begins, the glasses that are used during the morning give way to prodigious schooners carrying a huge quantity of the amber liquid. , Perhaps it is this capability of being safely absorbed in large quantities that constitutes the greater attraction of beer. There may be many jovial and thirsty soul!' who sing with Thaekeray : Hails a Tay happy man Who slit M Noe mid drains his eon. if it 10 on* i that is the Mutt ?of' the palate withoutnloying ; it is rapidly absorbed and does not 800n. produce re- pletion ; it exhilarates without intia,ming. Indeed it is even doubted whether -beer is an intoxicating beverage, and the matter has been variously decided by thee courts. _Experts differ, some holding that although the per centage of alcohol is small, it is suffici nt to produce in- toxication after co Untied potations, while others contend that the stomach rebels against furthe 4uaffings before the stage of intoxicati n can begin. One expert who gave his estimony in New York teetified that h drank "fifty or sixty glaSses a day " 4icI it never made him drunk, but he di u't know how it would be "if a man as to make a hog f," Wei thin it would be diffi- duce any oiie to try the ex- , but that exert at least went h to show t at if a person is n tippling,beer is about the safest be1verar for hi ,The beer o our owi beloved country attains its maximum of perfection in the cities of the West, in which the Teu- tonic people most lergely congregate.

Ostrom'who is well known in DenN'rer'having formerly resided here, started last week with his wife and eight children _from a ranch in Pine Grove Gulch, in Jefferson County, upon which ' has lived for the last few years, for a distance of about twenty miles to a small park on the South Platte, where he ex- pected to spend the winter. Mr.,Ostram had previously visited the park, and had built a house for the protection of his family. He had removed most of hie ef- fects, and last Friday morning started with his family and a few articles of household furniture and wearing apparel. When the travellers were about three miles from the place where they inteuded to stop, the wagon was overturned and Mr. °steam was killed by the accident. They had passed over the roughest por- tiou,of the road, and about four o'clock came to a small stream, over which a manicould step with ease. The teen was composed of a pair of mules, and one of them shied, throwing the wagon to one side and upon an obstruction. The shock was so. great as to overturn the - wagon. The party aboard consisted of Mr: Ostrom, his wife and seven children. Mrs. Ostrom and the children were thrown off some distance to en° side. Mr. Ostrom, thinking they would be hurt, threw himself under the wagon to prevent its falling upon them. He was borne to the around and was caught squarely under the crossbar of the wagon bed. I There was a weight of fully 1,500 pounds upon him, and of course he could not move. Mrs. Ostrom and children were thrown off amid the heavy roeks that lay around, and ell of them were bruised, but none seriously injured. She got upon her feet as soon as Possible'and found her hus- band in ' the condition as de- scribed. His face was very pale, and the lady was, of course, frightened. She began td cry, as did the children also. He was not unable to speak, and he as: sured her he was ilia greatly hart. He, told her to get a lever and pry the wagon off hiin. She tried, but could not move it, the weight being fee beyond the capacity of a stro g man. She did everything in her po% ea but to no avail. He grew paler and. pa er, and in less than five minutes after th accideat occurred died. , At this time the ol est son, who was driving a cow, cam up. He and his mother tvere'both i, un ble to remove the l load fro the body o th dead husband and fath r and they we e compelled. to uhcoupl thelwagon ud drag it off with the mules. No mean ould avail any- thing to restore life There were the peor woman and her e ght children fifteen miles from a, human leing, in the heart of the RoCky Meunta ns, and night then et of the ehildreu upon them. The old was but fourteen, and the others were very small.' Right here bears and moun- tain lions abound, an an old hunter tolr ld a reporter of the ; ribisize that he would consider staying in this place during the night a very hazardous un- dertaking. . But there was no alternative. The nearest house that could be reached was fifteen miles back , over the same road, through the mountains, that they had travelled during the day. So, with the dead body of her huaband lying in a sheet beside her, and her children and the beasts of the mountain wilds to keep-. her company, the brave woman deter- mined to spend the night. A big fire was built, and the children were made as ,comfortable as possible. But at this season of the year it is very cold in the mountains, and do what she might the little ones suffered. She never thought of her own conifoet, and she and her oldest boy kept the lonelyl vigil through an almost endless and very cold and very dark night. The mountains rose thousands of feet all around them, but their dark shadows only served to render the scene more dreary. At last the morning dawned, and with, the first ray of light she began to make preparations for her return. The wagon was coupled together and the team at- tached. The children and the dead body of the husband were put on the wagon, and the party began to retrace their footsteps. The body had frozen stiff during the night. The road was so bad that they didnot reach any house until nine o'clock Saturday night. _Mr. Wil- liam Fleming's ranch was first eeached, and there the corpse was taken charge of by that gentleman. A coffin was im- provised, and Mr. Fleming started for Denver on Sunday with the remains. He reached this place yesterday morning, having travelled all Sunday night and a great part of the day previous, through the snow -storm. Mrs. Ostrom followed and arrived yesterday, bringing her chil- dren with her. Mr. Ostrom came from Mobile, Ala.; to: Denver, in 1869. He was a ca,rpenter, and was a first-class workman. He was -a man of refined manners, :slid very popular. About three years ago he moved to this ranch, and has since res ded there. On account of the grasahoppe s he did. not prosper, but left food and lothing for his family to last during the winter. He was about forty-five year of age. -Denver (Col..) Tribune, .1ov. 28.
