CARE OF THE NAILS.
A Simple and Inexpensive Method O
Keeping Them Things of Beauty.

Simple and inexpensive Method of
Keeping Them Things of Beauty.
Il can always detect Il lady, i'll any
disguise. by alook at her finger-nails, "
said person of superfine graces of
mind and person. 1t was q sweeping
statement, and, like most such gen.
ordinations, should be qualified. One
might say. instead. that although all
persons possessed of handsome nails
are not sarily ladies, yet no lady
would allow her nails to lack care.
They need not receive artistic atten-
ton; but they must be clean and
carefully trimmed.
Persons who possess well-filled
purses can indulge in the luxury of a
manicure's services, and thus relieve
themselves of all esponsibility as
to their digits, but, with the
great army of the impecunious,
personal care and attention are neces-
sary. If one aims only at the simplest
possible method of caring for the nails,
he will find that very few utensils are
required-a chamois- covered polisher,
little file for pairing. and q powder
for polishing, all of which can be
bought of any apothecary. An
almond-shaped nail is very desirable.
and to secure it. the skin which tends
to grow over its base should be pushed
down daily. This may be done with
advantage every time the hands are
bathed, for then the skin is soft and
pliable. One may use, for the pur-
pose. finger of the other hand COW
cred by the towel, or the blunted ivory
end of the little instrument connected
with the file. A manicure is able skill
fully to cut away this superfuous
border of the skin, but an unprofes-
sional person is likely to do it bung-
lingly, with the result of ,hangnails.
The nails should be filed away at
each side to insure their oval shape.
Their length must depend upon the
taste of the wearer, although the
pianist finds his fashion prescribed by
necessity, and is obliged literally to
''cut his claws" In cleaning them, it
is best to use brush or an ivory
point, as scraping with sharp knife
tends to harden them. Polishing is
done by placing small quantity of
powder on the chamois pad, and rub
bing the nails back and forth.
Of course. there are hundred clever
arts which may be employed in the
interests of ones finger-ends, but the
method given above is quite sufficient.
if carefully and regularly followed,
to keep them things of beauty. -

Unclaimed Gold Dust.

Manager Coffee of Wells, Fargo &
Co. recently said to reporter: ''You
would be surprised to see what stacks
of gold coin and gold dust rem ain here
uncalled for. When we have kept it
long enough we send the gold dust to
the mint and get it coined, and then
credit it to the unknown. Years ago
an old fellow living up on the John
Day river in Oregon sent us a big bag
,, of gold. We slowed it away until the
bag looked like relic of the middle
ages, and would scarcely hold to-
sether Then we sent the bag of dust
and nuggets over to the mint and
got it transformed into 49, 600. Eight
years afterward an old. bedraggled-
looking fellow walked in, and said he
had some money here. We asked him
his name. and when he gave it we told
him yes, he had. and asked him why
he hadn't called long ago. Well, he
said. he had sent it down in advance
of his coming himself and when he
got here he didn' need it, and he went
on to Australia, and finally around
the world, and had only just got back.
We asked him why he hadn't taken it
to the bank, saying that he could
have got a good many thousand dol
lars interest on it by this time. Yes.
he said, he knew that, but the BANKED
banks might break. and he thought he
would just leave it where it was. -

FETlSHISM IN AFRICA.
The Terrible and Unlimited Power Com.
mitted to the Fetish Man.

The Terrible and Unlimited Power Conn
mitted to the Fetish Man.
So universal is this belief that al
most every village of pagan Africa.
particularly toward the West coast,
has it's fetish house, grim and ghast-
ly building often ranged round with
human skulls in every stage of decom-
position, and n fetish man, who is its
high priest. No human being. surely,
ever had more terrible power COM
mitted to him, and few have used it
more unsparingly or unscrupulously.
The fetish man is bound by no law;
he recognizes no rules of evidence.
Amy thing which happens. even in the
most ordinary course of nature, he
may pronounce to be the work of 4
fetish, or a wizard. and to need his as
sistance to ferret it out
A heavy rainfall or drought, a
murrain among the cattle, apestilence
or confla grafton, child devoured by
a wild animal, an illness or a death,
each and all of these may be pro-
nounced to be 'fetish'' body
has done it, and he must be detected.
So possessed are the natives by this
belief, it so forms part of their being
that it never occurs to any one of
them. though he knows that his own
turn may come next, to question the
reality of this uncanny power; and, in
the panic terror which waits upon the
movements of the fetish man and his
decisions, the negro loses, for a time.
some of his most essential and amia-
BILE characteristics, his frivolity, his
light -heartedness. even his family af-
lection. A son will join in putting
his father to death; brother will
help to tear in pieces q brother.
If the accused dares to deny the
charge-which he seldo m does. how
ever preposterous or impossible it
may be-he has to submit to some ter
rible ordeal, such as the running at
full speed under an avenue of hoped
arches about half his height, when, if
he stumbles, or rather as soon as he
stun bles he is kicked to death; or the
drinking of some deadly decoction.
such as the casca bark, when his one
chance of escape is handsomely to
bride the fetish man to give him the
exact quantity or quality which will
make him desperately sick before the
poison has we'll begun its deadly
work. In Ashantee and Dehomy, at
Benny and Calabar. in the Fan coun-
try and throughout Angola, this ter
rible belief prevails, and. as may
we'll be imagined, it ramifies out into
every kind of vllliany and crime. -

An Evidence of the Intellectual Depravi-
ty of Human Nature.
Evidence of what may be called the
intellectual depravity of human nature
is found in the tendency to follow err
rors of citation, even from well-known
authors.
Some one happens to blunder into a
misquotation. and the incorrect ver-

out the correct one from the minds of
many persons who ought to know bet
ter. A few instances of misguotation
occur to me. which l have myself
noted, and the list might, no doubt, be
easily heightened. The first that

hand sort that does not enable them to
detect misquotation. When Mr..
Booth or Mr.. Irving delivers the "To
be or not to be- soliloquy, some who
hear him speak of "the thousand nat
ural shocks that flesh is heir to-" may
be surprised into fancying that the
actor is making slip, the substitution
of ills for shocks being so common
that the right word sounds strangely.
