The hand, as Aristotle says, is the organ

of the organs.

It is the most powerful member of the

human body, for by its form, size, color, and

texture it is the true indicator and epitome

of our natures—the subtle power which char-

acterizes the workings of man; an element of

the soul. The Bible, in referring to man and

his attainments, says, Revelations, chapter

xxiv., verse 9 : "And receive this mark (God's)

on his forehead or in his hand." Job xxxvii.,

verse 7: "He sealeth up the hand of every

man; that all men may know His work."

Desbarolles says: "Hands may resemble,

but nature never repeats herself, and in ob-

gathering a lady student of Cheirosophy wasasked to read the different hands ; among them,

the most interesting was the physician's, be-

talent was not the study of the human body,

as a subject, but the animal kingdom; he

would have made an excellent veterinary

surgeon.

If upon meeting, a person grasps your

hand cordially with a straight-forward glance

into your eye, the subtle power expressed is

earnestness and sincerity. On the other hand,

if the fingers only are presented in a nervous,

How ro Read the Hanb.

In learning the art of gaining an insight

into the character and habits of a subject,

take the hand firmly in yours, noticing the

form, color, size, and texture.

The thumb, being the most important

factor, comes first into consideration; the

first phalanx, will; the second phalanx, logic.

Having looked carefully into the details of

the thumb, pass on to the fingers, which are

divided into three parts or phalanges: First,

or nail phalange, intuition; second, reason;

third, materialism.

The finger tips, whether square, spatulate,

conic, or mixed.

The Square or Mixed, indicates the natural

instincts.

The Spatulate, the material.

The Conic, the religious.

Then consult the mounts:

Jupiter, under index finger.

Saturn, at base of second finger.

Apollo, at base of third finger.

Mercury, at base of fourth or little finger.

Examine them carefully, for by their de-

Following the mounts then trace the dif-

Fortune, Hepatic or Liver, Apollo or line of

Sun, and Girdle of Venus. Note their start-

ing place, and where they end; whether long

or straight, or broken and crossed.

If the line of Fortune traces clear and

straight through the plain of Mars, from wrist

to Saturn, in both hands, you can predict ulti-

mate success.

The mount of Jupiter developed with the

above line will overcome all obstacles.

Next follows the quadrangle, triangle, and

When the above rules have been followed,

look for the crosses, stars, grille squares,

The color and quality of the lines is of


great importance; therefore, the student

should be very careful in regard to this point,

as it is the indicator of the health and dispo-

sition.

A line, if pale, denotes a sluggish, unfeel-

ing disposition.

If the line presents a livid color, the sub-

a want of refinement.

judgment and intuition enable them to ex-

press the divine in entirety of these facul-


ties which the sculptors, painters, and poets

exhibit in their work. Guided only by impulse

and inspiration, they have no thought for the

realities of life, attaching themselves to the

picturesque side of ideas. To this type be-

longs the roving nature, carelessness, simplic-

ity, and luxury. Where the palm is large,

with medium-sized thumb, the mind is want-

ing in intellectuality, lack of power and moral

restraint.

This hand, when long and tapering grad-

ually, betokens liberality, conscientiousness,

but want of spirit and action. The artistic

hand has reared our pyramids and monu-

ments. If fingers are knotted, inspirations

will be stifled by calculation.

These hands should never be combined in

marriage, for they require the square or spat-

ulate to give harmony and action to their

lives.
