Palmistry.
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 !"

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

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,

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.

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.

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

A Lonely Vigil.
W. H. 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
