years, but more frequently during the
last five, all the buildings thus erected
having stood remarkably well. Ex-
perience has not shown that walls built
in winter exhibit, consequently, more
dampness than those erected in sum-
mer. The reverse may be the case,
since the difference between tempera-
ture of the air and of the mortar cools
the latter by evaporation and takes
away a great part of the moisture. Ac-
cording to the opinion of the principal
builders in Christiana, bricklayers’ 1
work executed with due care in winter,
is really superior to similar work
done in summer—the whole art of such
work in frosty weather consisting sim-
ply in the use of unslacked lime, the
mortar prepared with which is to be
made in small quantities immediately
before use, the proportion of lime be-
ing increased as the thermometer falls;
the only care required is to utilize tho
unslacked lime so handily and quickly
as to enable the mortar to bind with
the bricks before it cools. Another
very important condition is that the
bricks be always kept covered on the
building site.

STUDY OF PALMISTRY.
A "Professor" of This Art Tells
How to Analyze Character.
Look at your hand. Do you read
your character in it? Or study your
girl's hand and be wise.
The science of chiponomy, or the
meaning of the human hand, says the
Indianapolis News, always excites
curiosity, but few people understand
iL Can a man's character be read on
his hand as well as you can read it in
his face, or by the bumps on his head?
’Tis so claimed, and the science by
which it is done is a pretty one. It has
many branches, all of them well worth
studying. “If the palm of the hand is
skinny and narrow,” said a ••Pro-
fessor” of the science, “it denotes
timidity, a feeble mind and want of
moral and intellectual force. Il the
palm is too thick, big and strong, it
denotes a low intelligence and a tend-
ency, to brutality. A hollow, deep
palm always signifies misery, ill-luck
and failure in life. Fingers which are
smooth denote a tendency to act upon
instinct, impulse or intuition rather
than by reason, calculation or deduc-
tion. . Knotty fingers denote a tend-
ency to order and arrangement. People
with short fingers are quiek, more im-
pulsive. act more on the spur of the
moment, than people with long fingers.
If the fingers are very short it signifies
2uelty and want of tact.
“Long fingers denote a love of de-
tail. Such persons are tidy as to their
appointments, easily put out and very
careful about trifles. Workers in
small things always have large hands,
and the constructors of colossal works
always have small hands. Small-
handed people write large, whilst
large-handed people always write
small.
“Thick fingers denote luxury.
Twisted and malformed fingers, with
short nails, denote cruelty, tyranny
and a worrying, teasing disposition.
If a hand is stiff and hard, opening
with difficulty to its fullest extent, it
betrays stubbornness of character and
avarice. If the fingers are supple,
having a tendency to turn back, they
denote, as a rule, cleverness and in-
quisitiveness. nearly always generos-
ity, ending in extravagance-. If the
fingers fit close together it is a sign of
avarice. If twisted so as to show
chinks between them it is a sign of
curiosity. If they are smooth and
transparent they betray indiscretion
and loquacity.”
