In fact, the feeling of fear can not be
subdued. 1t is an irresistible emotion
that depends upon our organization.
and one which all the most logical rea-
sonings a not change. Nothing is
more true than the common saving that
fear does not reason, and it is remarka-
bic how little efficacy intelligence and
its efforts nave to arrest its effects. |
know a highly intelligent person with a
strong and clear mind, who believes he
would be lost if he had to go into a boat.
\ ct the sea is smooth, the course is
short and the boat stanch. Excellent
reasoning. but it does not take hold of
him. His emotion is stronger than all
the arguments you can invent, how
ever irreproachable they may be, and no
matter how fully the poltroon may rec
ognize their force. How many children
there are who do not dare to cross in the
night the garden where they have
played all day, where they know there
is no danger and where they will not
lose sight of the lights in the house.

Professor Long, of England, advises
working people to keep IA goat, because
it can he kept more cheaply than any
other animal, and will yield a profitable
return in milk. He thin',s the expense
of maintaining one would not exceed s.
a year, while it will eat almost any kind
OF food and yield from the time of kid
ding and for six months from one
and one-half to w quarts of milk per
day, worth at least 3 cents a quart. In
some parts of the continent of Europe,
where goats are cultivated for cheese
making, it is common for them to milk
for nine months, but in that case they
are well managed and selected. 1t the
district of Mount dor, France, famous
for its cheese, the number of goats kept
many years ago was 1000, and the av-
erage yield per head was two quarts
daily. These hocks have gradually di-
minished, and their place been taken by
cows.-Chicago Times.

Biggest Wheel in the World.

"The biggest wheel in the world" was
rolled into the lobby of an uptown no
tel "A few nights ago. Its diameter was
declared to be seven feet-eightv-four
inches. a tifty-eight inch machine is ac-
counted large by ordinary bicyclists, and
to say that any mar living can ride an
eighty-four inch wheel sounds fishy. But
this is a geared machine in which the
power is applied by means of chain belts.
Three men ordinarily are required to
hold the steed while he climbs into the
saddle. Then they give him a push and
away he goes. He is in favor of the
subway, the telegraph wires prove so
great an annoyance to him. Bat SUD

every wheelman knows the case is a

A LECTURE ON FINGER-NAILS.
What a Physician Says-A Doctors Pre-
Caution-Kevolting MorSeIs.

what a Physician says-A Doctors Pre-
caution-Kevolting Morseis.
Few habits are more prevalent and
none more disgusting than biting the
finger-nails," said a prominent physician
the other day. Cleaning the nails with
a penknife and picking the teeth in pub
lie are practices vulgar enough. but bit
ing the nails is far worse. 1t is disgust
ing in more ways than one. 1t renders
the finger tips soft, pulpy and shapeless,
and destroys the beauty of the nails.
Properly cared for they are an impor-
tant item in personal adornment. Next
to pearly, regular teeth, pink, shapely
nails are, perhaps, the most striking in
dication of neatness and cleanliness. A
person with no regard for these little
things is pretty sure to be slovenly in
other respects; one who munches his
finger-nails as he talks to you may be
set down at once, and with slight dan
ger of in justice, as an all-around slat-
Tern.
Beside, think of the nastiness of it.
Dust and dirt of all kinds lodge under
the finger nails. Every article that the
ilttll'l DltNlltH contributes llS share 10 Ine
rapidly accommodating deposit of filth.
There is no use mincing matters. The
nail deposits are filth of the most often
sive and miscellaneous sort. The dirt
lodged under the nail soon becomes soft
and pastv from the excretion of perspir-
alton In this form it is bitten off with
fragments of the nail, moistened by the
saliva, turned over in the mouth, and
not infrequently swallowed. Did you
ever observe a doctor at his ablutions.
Invariably he washes his hands first.
Then he carefully wipes them and emp
ties and rinses out the bowl before he
washes his face. He knows that the
hands attract dirt just as a sponge alb
serbs moisture, and he has too much re-
spect for his face to bathe it in the same
water that he has cleansed them. His
professional experience has taught him
also that poison in the shape of virus
from wounds and contagious diseases are
often contributed by so simple a process as
h%andshaking. He doesn't propose to have
his eyes or his nose or lips contaminated
by his hands in that way. The person
who bites his nails is infinitely more
liable to that risk, for he takes the con-
centrated filth from under the nails into
his mouth.
But, worst of all, the nail-biter is a
~self-devouring cannibal. | wonder how
many sentimental school girls, who keep
their fingers in their mouths half the
time, and dudes, who nip at their nails
as industriously as they suck their cane
heads, have ever thought of that.
Probably not many of either class. But
it is a fact all the same. When the nails
are bitten off, chewed up and revolved
in the mouth, as though they were sue
culent tidbits, it necessarily happens
that small particles of the quick are also
removed. These particles are human
fiesh-the nail-biter's own flesh and
they are masticated, frequently swal-
lowed, with the other revolving morsels.
Anyone who can bite his nails. after
that thought, will never suffer from
nausea. New York Mail and Express.
