THE FIHGER NAILS.

ilWh.le serving asa protection to the
extremities of the fingers we'll pre- serv
ID nails add much to the beauty OF the
and.
On the contrary, nothing renders the
hand more unsightly than thick, ire
lular and soiled nails. Bnt another
consideration making proper care of
hem OF the highest importance, IL the
TACT that every person who labors with
the hand Is liable TO gather under the
FREQ margin of the nails foreign matters,
which may be very poisonous TO the
tissues Of the body. Many cases have
occurred In which the slightest abra.
sions Of the cuticle by means of the
dnger nail have resulted in malignant
. zen fatal infiammations.
IL from any cause the nail becomes
thick and inelsstic, 1t soon b, comes
rjugb and assumes the appearance OF
an excresence rather than an ornament.
In this condition IL Is much more DIFF.
Hcult TO keep clean. To avoid this the
hand should not be subjected to the
lime, etc, neither shou Id foreign sub
.nces be removed from the surface by
scraping, as from the peculiar manner
II Its growth this will cause the nail to
thicken.
To cleanse the surface and the margin
adjoining the skin, soft nail brush,
aid soap and soft water should be ap
pl cd once day, while the foreign
matter accumulated under the free
margin should be removed AZ often as
the bands are washed by passing the
rounded point OF a small knife. blade
o ace or tn ice beneath IL. This being
done while the nail Is wet one move
ment will generally be sufficient to RS
move the substance completely but
C IRE must be taken to detach no more
of the nail, as this may, II repeated
cause the detached margin to recede
until u Ia necessary TO allow q wide
growth to protect the end Of the finger.
The pairing should also be done while
the nail Is soft from washing, with al
Instrument which will make q perfectly
smooth edge, and sufficiently often to
limit the breadth of the free margin
to about one twelfth OF an inch. This
bread tn Is best, especially in case Of
persons who have to do rough work
with the hands, for two reasons 1t
prevents the bre,king Of the nail, and
also the accumulation of much foreign
substance. The corners should not be
very closely cut, or the troublesome
condition known as narowing LAil
may be produced. To prevent the break.
ing of the cuticle near the root of the
nail (oom monty called haugnail')
the skin should be pressed--not scrapesi
-loose from the nail at least once a
week.

TEXAS STONE FOR OUR TEXAS
HAplTOI

We thought we had placed ourselves
on record with most positive distinct
ness on the question of Texas stone for
our capitol and the status Of the case
as regards the action OF the land board,
but the Houston Post seems to think
we were very non-committal. We are
first, last and all the time for the
Texas stone, as before stated.
But the case stands thus: The
contractors substantially contracted
to build our State House OF a stone
"equal to the sample" Now, this
sample was Texas limestone. But II
was not stated in the contract that
such required stone should be Texas
article. Now they announce that the
stone "equal to the sample" is not to
DO had here, and that even If 1t is they
are not required to use 1t or prohibited
from obtaining the product of any
other State, and that If 1t suits their
purposes to take advantage OF Indiana
stone at a less cost to them they may
do 80. In this view they are sus-
tanned by three members OF the
Capitol Board. GOVERNOR IRELAND
and TREASURER LUBBOCK, the other
two members contend that there is
sufficient stone in Texas OF the proper
quality and therefore oppose the for
eign importation.
We have said, and we repeat, we
sustain the minority vote, and for the
very excellent reasons assigned by
GOVERNOR IRELAND. The true in
wardness Of this entire business Is,
we believe, that the contractors would
Like TO abandon the contract, and can
not, therefore, be induced, even by the
offer Of the labor Of the 1000 convicts
for couple OF years, 10 vary the
terms of the unfortunately worded
original contract, which should have
required "Texas stono equal To the
sample, II to be had" 1t needs large
sum OF ready money 10 construct suci
a building as our capitol before th,
lands can be realized on, and IL Il
quite questionable II the contractor
can remuneratiyely TO themselves nov
advance IL. The fair way, the business
way, would be TO settle with the con
tractors for all they are entitled to
then offer them additional time unit
the Legislature can be heard from
and which, in our Judgment, should de
termine on the use Of the granite. TIL
additional coat Of this, we believe, wa
put at 100000. We would prefer h
walt half dozen years longer for GU
capitol and have II thus oonstructe'
than have II ct the expiration Of tn
4 4.
