theories have been advanced by stu

A California inventor has made a

the potatoes, but lays them on a tray in

oars Of the Finger Nails.

Scarcely any personal peculiarly is
more indicative of character than the
finger nails. There are some who be-
lieye that paimistry or the reading Of
character from the hand can be reduced
to q science just as much as phrenology
can. II SO, it would necessarily be an
obscure science to the majority of peo-
pie; but the signs of character indicated
by the finger nails may be read by all
with o very little study. In the first
place, the shape Of the nails is very sig
~nificant. A slender tapering nail of a
rosy hue, with q shell-like, Transparent
edge, is Railways the accompaniment Of a
refined nature. Broad. stubby nails of
q ycllowish-white color, and with ol,a-
que, muddy-looking edges. indicate nat
urnl coarseness, though they often ac-
company great good nature, while the
other variety as frequently goes with q
shrewish temper. The care Of the nails
is one of the most important of the
minor operations of the toilet. Nails
may be greatly improved both in shape
and color by proper attention Tho best
appliance Is q nail brush used in water
softened by a little borax and fine toilet
soap. In well-cared for nails the cur
tain like rim which surrounds them is
well pushed back. displaying q delicate
crescent at thereof In trimming and
pairing, the shape should always be as
long an oval as possible. To cut a nail
~squarely off gives the end of the finger
a stnbby look. In cleaning the nails the
knife should never scrape off the inner
substance of the nail, as this makes tho
edge muddy in appearance. whereas it
should be transparent. The nail is sus-
,ceptible of q high degree of polish by
rubbing it with the towel when drying
the hands. The habit Of biting the nails
is one against which children should be
carefully guarded. 1t Is ruinous to the
structure Of the nail. and n acquired
is one Of the most difficult habits to
break. This is evidenced by the fact
that some men and women, but more
especially men, have q habit of biting
their nn;'s when reading or studying, Q.
which I are perfectly unconscious.
Not wyers and clergymen occur
mimi .se nails are almost q defor-
NIFTY as !. -sult OF this habit.
