Characteristics Told by Finger Nails.
From the Medical Classics.


Fortune telling by means Of the finger
nails. onychr omancy, as it was called, was
not uncommon in ancient times The prac-
tice was to rub the nails with oil and SCOT
or wax, and to hold up the nails, thus pre-
pared, against the sun, and upon the trans
parent horny substance were supposed to
appear figures or characters which gave the
answer required.
In more recent times people have been
found predicting by meansof the nails OF
the hand, and telling the disposition Of
persons with certain descriptions of nails.
However absurd it may appear, we shall
give examples of this superstition.
A person with broad nails is of gentle
nature, timid and bashful.
Persons whose nails grow into the flesh at
the points or sides are given to luxury.
A waite mark on the nail beSpeaks mis-
fortune.
Persons with very pale nails are subject
10 much infirmity of lie flesh, and persecu-
ton by neighbors and friends.
People with narrow nails are ambitious
and quarrelsome.
Lovers of knowledge and Ii eral senti-
ment have round rails.
Indolent people have generally heshy nails.
Small nails indicate littleness Of MUD
obstinacy aud conceit
Melancholy persons are disingu she'd by
their pale or lesd-colored nails; and choleric,
martial men, delignting in war, have red
and spotted nails.
