CHARACTER FROM THE HANDS.

Tf your hand is narrow and skinny, you arc timid, and lack moral and intellectual force. A deep palm means misery and ill-luck; a full, even palm, the opposite.

Fingers with knotty joints indicate good taste and an inclination to be orderly. If the upper joint is large, it denotes an administrative disposition, a well-ordered philosophic mind ruled by reason. The lower joint* denotes the material and worldly mind, a knack at business, the ability to make money and to become a financial success. Smooth fingers denote artistic tendencies, love of poetry and music, also creative genius. People with short fingers are quick, impulsive, jump at conclusions, and arc apt to bo cruel and lack tact. Long fingers belong to people who are orderly, attentive to details, inclined to be distrustful, and seek the inner meaning of things. When limy speak or write, their attention to detail is often burdensome and distracting. Minute workers always have largo hands, whereas the constructors of colossal works ' have small ones. Only the medium hand can apprehend groat schemes ami details at ore time. Thick fingers at the base denote love of luxury, love of eating and leisure. Large spaces between the fingers when the hand is fully opened indicate groat interest in other people’s affairs. Fiesby piotubcronccs at th* ends of the lingers bespeak a sw**jtire nature, easily wrought into arger. Broad fi»|r*rs (at the tip*) indicate Jove of manual owrclflc, action a tibity, utilitarian tables, e»ncitude and good reasoning ; onh ito work well, and intellectual, logical philosophical, and, if musical, wi’i execute brilliantly.

TSw swoc is Vue of iuitbnre. Hard hands are apt to be but lenmtti true in tlmir affwdions. 64ft hands love deeply, b«t are less «vpt to be true and ab‘dlng in their affections. To keep the hands always do.sod denote secret'veness and often untruthfulness. The person who tells a lie usually doses the hand while doing it. Quiet hands are self-con-scious it ml secretive.
