How They Should be Cared for so ~ to Sc

While serving as protection to the
extremities ofthe fingers, well-presered
nails add much to the beauty of the
hand.
On the contrary, nothing renders the
hand more unsightly than thick, irregu-
lar and soiled nails. But another con-
sideration, making a proper care OF
them of the highest Importance, is the
TACT that every person who labors with
the hands is liable to gather, under the
free margin of his nails, foreign matter,
which may be very poisonous to the It's
sues of the body. Many cases have Oc-
Cured in which the slightest abrasions
of the cuticle by means of the finger
nail have resulted in malignant, even
fatal, inllammations.
If. from any cause, the nail becomes
thick and inelastic, it soon becomes
rough, and assumes the appearance Of
an cXcrescencc rather than an orna
mcnt. In this condition it is much more
difficult to keep clean. TO avoid this
the hand should not be subjected to the
action of strong alkalies, such as quick
lime, ETC.; neither should foreign sub
stances be removed from the surface by
scraping, as, from the peculiar manner
of its growth, this will cause the nail tt
thicken.
70 cleanse the surface and the mar
gin adjoining the skin, soft nail-bruSh
mild soap, and soft water should be ap
piled once each day. while the foreign
matter, accumulated under the fret
margin should be removed as often a
the hands are washed, by passing the
rounded point of small knife-bladt
once or twice beneath it.
This beng done while the nail is wet
one movement will generally be suili
cient to remove the substance com
pletely; but care should be taken to de
Ia III no more of the nail, as this may,
repeated, cause the detached margin t.
recede until it is necessary to allow
wide growth to protect the end Of tn
finger
The pairing should also be done Will
the nail is soft from washing, with Al
instrument which will make perfect
smooth edge, and sufficiently often +
limit the breadth of the free margin t.
about one-twelfth of an inch. Thi
breadth is best, especially in the case G
persons who have to do rough wor
with the hands, for two reasons; it pre-
vents the breaking of the nail and ais
the accumulation of much foreign sui
stance. The corners should not be yer
closely cut or the troublesome cond

THE MURDERED INFANT.
Glenn Owen and Her Mother, Caro-.
line Owen, Charged With the
Crime.
THE GIRL HELD OVER.

In our last issue we gave an &C.
count of the finding of a dead mulat-
TO infant in the northern part of the
city with its throat cut. On Tues
day the police got clue and began
looking for girl named Glen Owen,
who lived on Broad street, who was
suspected of being the mother of the
child. She was found at the Asy-
lum, and both the girl and her moth
CT, Caroline Owen, were arrested and
placed under bond Of 5000 to APP
pear for trial Wednesday. The trial
was begun Wednesday afternoon
with County Attorney Sebree repre-
senting the Commonwealth and Col.
l., A. Sypert the defense. The case
was tried before Esqs. Anderson and
Rogers. A number Of witnesses
were introduced who testified that
the girl had for some time been in an
advanced state of pregnancy. DIR.
Seargent testified that he was called
to see her Sunday evening and that
she had been delivered ola child.
Three or four colOred women identi-
fed the sack or jersey found around
the child as the property of Caroline
Owen. The girl was in court and
and would not submit TO an examl-
nation. All these facts pointed to
them as the guilty parties, but the
defense asked further time and the
case was continued till yesterday.
The girl and her mother are both
nearly black and have had the small
pox. The mother is apparently
something over 40 years old and the
daughter about q. The theory Of
the defense was that the girls trouble
was dropsical affection, or some
thing Of the kind, and not pregnancy
and that she did not give birth to "a
child.
The trial occupied most of the
morning and was again postponed
until | o'clock yesterday afternoon to
give the defense chance to get some
testimony 10 contradict a witness for
the commonwealth.
The trial was concluded at 4:30
o'clock and the court dismissed the
charge against Caroline Owen and
held her daughter over till Circuit
Court without bail on charge of
murder.
