THE PINK FINGER-NAILS.
The Manicure Process of Polishing a
Ladyfs Finger-Tips.

A New York letter to the Cincinnati
Enquirer says: "When my time came
| sat in row with five other ladies, all
in the easiest of arm-chairs, and with
damask napkins in our laps. Finger
bowls of stained glass on plates OF
painted French china, filled with tepid
water perfumed and containing an acid
to soften the skin, were given us, and
solomnly we sat and soaked our fingers
for fifteen minutes. At the end of that
time an operator on low stool seat
ed herself before me, dried one hand,
posed it on pink satin cushion, and
with a fine steel instrument quickly
scraped away all the soft skin round
the nail, then she filed it into point
at the top and clipped the sides with
sharp scissors, then she rubbed red
salve, called rosaline, over it; wiped it
off and proceeded to polish with the
diamond powder, using the palm of
her hand, until the nail fairly glittered,
and finally warm water, CASTLE soap
and a soft brush left it clean, smooth
and shining. The process was repeated
on every finger, and in half an hour,
for the sum of 81 so, was finished, and
the result was Ten pink and brilliant
weapons of defense SO sharp and
pointed as to suggest the advantages of
peace. The fashion of wearing these
long and pointed nails has become ex-
aggerated that it necessitates long-fin-
gered gloves and extreme care to pre-
vent them from breaking of.

LONDON has over four million inhab-
itants, and yet during the year 1880
there were but seventeen murders; dur
ing 1879 but nine. Perhaps one reason
why American cities have such COM
paratively greater number of criminals
of this grade IS the uncertainty of their
punishment even when detected.
