A rich bank knew that a run was to set in on a certain Monday morning, for It had been rob- bed of some postage stamps on Batur- day night and the robbery had been exaggerated in the newspaper reports, and if this run was not kept within reasonable limits the bank would have to close its doors. It had plenty of money, but not plenty of cash. It needed twenty-four hours' time. Be- fore sunrise on Monday morning a man | put a fresh coat of paint on the front doors of the bank, on the wall panels and on the counters. The result was that people who made the run on Mon- day made rather a walk of it. They wanted their money, but they rushed no one. On the contrary, they came on with ecdgtion and deliberation. Bo careful were they lest they get paint on their clothes that it took longer to pay off one of them than It would have taken ordinarily to pay five. This is one of many odd tricks whereby, in a run, 8 bank bas saved itself from wreck. § wie y ligion. Brahmanlsm 18 Bud- dhism third and Mohammedanism fourth. Buddha was born in the sixth century B.

They Serve as an Index to the Charseter of the Individual--The "Thumb Center" In the Brain--Posi- tion of the Well Balanced Thumb. The gypsies have always recognized that the thumb is the most important factor in delineating special tendencies. These nomadic people are the most in- tuitive on earth, and the fact that In thelr fortune telling they often confine their prognostications to the thumb alone is worth more than a passing no- tice, The fact that there is what Is known as the "thumb center" in the brain, rec- ognized by all surgeons, demonstrates the immense Importance attached to It by medical science. If there is a tend- ency toward paralysis the physician notes it in the thumbs long before the malady shows itself in other directions. An operation to avert the calamity If possible is frequently performed on the thumb center of the brain, and the thumb Itself is watched for results fa- vorable or otherwise. It is a matter of record that the thumbs of idiots and those mentally weak are undersized, | characterless and usually cling closely to the side of the hand. There have been books written on signs in the | thumbs as denoting criminal instincts, and detectives have been often moved to consider seriously this phase of the hand In making their deductions In puzzling cases. T The position of the thumb with refer- | gv yo ence to the rest of the hand makes el- ther for or against favorable tenden- | cles. If it is bound to the first finger at ow and profit by another's enterprise. If in connec tion with this position it should be very small, with vacillating, almost In- visible joints, it indicatés mental weak- ness. If, on the contrary, it flies out at right angles or even firther it shows want of balance [n smother direction. The person will rush fo extremes and is Independent and aggressive almost to foolhardiness. Such people are dis- agreeable to associate with in any en- terprise, as they always want their own way and are not subservient to authority. dru The well balanced thumb lies at an fees from earnings, and if a left him it is likely to pated Hels a Tot only in money, but 'he rides He Is Small, | state or nation, | | with the first it Is said | | | of Venus, indicates' the affect | love of fellow beings.

When the second joint is the | longer a person plans better than he executes. In this way he often gets the reputation of being visionary and is frequently full of schemes which he lacks the will to carry out. The third joint, or "ham," of the hand when too thick indicates ungov- ernable passions and an inordinate love of the opposite sex. Such a per? son will be "bail fellow well met," & boon companion, but is likely to neg- lect the intellectual demands both of his home and his other self. When the second joint Is thin and small in circumference as compared to indlcate great tact and niceties In judgment, even to the splitting of a hair.

WOOD RAT TYPIFIES MAN. 1 ut His Acquisitivemess Is Insatimble, Too many Americans have the "wood rat instinct." The wood rat, the ani- mal, is a native of southern Oregon, but the wood rat typified in man is not restricted to any small section of & but is well nigh uni- one insane desire seems to be to fms ™ crense the size of his pile of sticks: The neighboring field 4s placed under tribute. First, all the nearby sticks are gathered into the pile. Then, as these are cleaned up, he goes farther and farther away from home, and eve ery twig ls eagerly seized upon to in | crease the size of his pile of sticks. The wood rat regards his pile of sticks as a refuge in time of trouble. On the first sound of alarm he rushes for the pile and crawls underneath. It is here that be often finds his destrucs tion, for a fire sometimes sweeps through the woods, and the wood rat's pile ef sticks makes a veritable furnace, The larger the pile the hotter the fire, and thus he has piled up the means of his own agony. We do not need to carry the com-. parison any further, The lesson is obvious, but still many of us do not appear to realize that we are like tho wood rat, worshiping a pile of sticks. We marry a man because of the size of his pile of sticks and not from an Innate attractiveness. We call this man a success because he can gather sticks faster than any of his compan fons. We eall this man "sharp" and "shrewd" because, after a fellow worker has laboriously made a huge pile, he steps in and ousts his fellnw from the pile and appropriates all the sticks for his own. Let us take warning frofn the wood, rat and the summer fire--the larger the pile of sticks the flercer burns the fire when the time of destruction final- ly arrives.--Montrea} Star. summer FACTS ABOUT YOURSELF, he average number of teeth is this' The average weight of an adult is 350 pounds 6 ounces, of The weight of the circulating blood i tyventy-nime pounds. 2 The brain of a man is more than twice that of any other animal.
