OTAGO DAILY TIMES CO. aLMITKP). — Palmistry, phrenology, graphology, and all the other methods of judging character eccm destined henceforth to take eecor.d place to cothurnology — the science of worn boots. According to Dr Garre, of Basle, worn shoee give far more reliable indications than the lines of the hand, the features of Lhe face, or the etyle of the handwriting. If heel and sole of the shoe aro equailj worn after two jnonths' wear, the wearer is an energetic business man, a trusty employee, or an excellent wife or mother. If the sole is worn on the outer edge the wearer lias a marked tendency for adventures, or a bold, obstinate 6pirit. If tho wearing is op the inside edge it is a sign of irresolution and woaknes.? in a man, modesty in a woman. Dr Garro has put his views to practical test, and on one occasion, having clo=ely observed a stranger entering his house, noticed that his shoes were worn on the outer edge, the tip of the sole being roughened, while the re&t was still new. Hi was convinced that the man before him wa6 a scoundrel, and on the very same day the individual -rt'ae arrested for theft.
