Growth OF the Nails

The growth of the nails are more
rapid in children than in adults,
and slow in the aged goes on faster
in the summer than III the winter,
and so that the same nail which il
renewed in 1872 days in the winter
requires only 115 in the summer
The increase of the nails of the right
hand is more rapid than those OF
the left, moreover it differs for the
different fingers and in order CORES
ponds with the length of the finger,
consequently it is the fastest in the
middle finger, nearly equal on
the two on either side of this, slower
on the little finger, and slower on
the thumb. The growth of all the
nails on the left hand require eighty.
two days more than those on the

A Great Spectators Gratitude

1t happened twenty years ago,
when people had an idea that graft
tude was ready to bubble up in the
human heart at a moments notice.
A stock speculator was waiting at
the corner Of Broadway and Vesy
street for an omnibus. Whether he
| fell into reverie over the graves
just over the fen05, Gr was wonder
ing if Lake Shore would advance
another peg, matters not. 4 runa-
way horse took the sidewalk just be-
low him, and so deep was the specu-
latOr's reverie that he would have
been run down and perhaps killed
had not a friendly hand clutched
and dragged him aside.
MY friend you have saved my
life !" gasped the rescued man, as he
realized his escape.
Perhaps so, but don't mention it.
I'm glad to have been of service TO
ynu,"
What is your nan.0
John Smith !"
"Well. Mr.. Smith, I'm a man who
can return favor. Ny gratitude is
more than words can express. What
can | do for you?"
"Oh ! nothing, [ guess"
But Ishall. speculate in stocks
| shall tomorrow buy $4,000 worth
of Lime Ledge canal stock for you,
hold it as your broker, and turn you
over the profits for a year. Such
heroic conduct as yours must not
90 unrewarded. Good night, my
dear Smith"
Tradition has it that one year
from that date John Smith sat in
his office. A boy appeared and
handed him a letter. He opened it
to find that it was from the man
whose life he had saved. He also
found that the $4,000 had been in
vested as promised, but that Lime
Ledge stock had kept falling a little
all the time, until s400 out of the
$4,000 had been lost. Inclosed was
a statement and bill for this de
ficiency, which he was asked to re-
NIT by bearer
Since that date John Smith has
had hundreds of chances to save hui
man life in our crowded streets, but
he has refused to extend hand in
each and every case. 1t would make
a poor man of him in less than six
months.-W Wall Street NelCs.
