Fortune telling by means Of the finger
nails, onychomancy, as it liz called, wna
not uncommon in ancient times. Tho
practicc was to rub the nails with oil
and SCOT or wax, and to hold up thu
nails, thus prepared, against the sun, and
upon the transparent horny substance
were supposed TO appear figures or char,
actcrs, which gave the answer required.
In more recent times, people have been
found predicting by means of the nails
OF the hnnd, and telling the disposition
OF persons with certain descriptions OF
nails. However absurd it may appear,
we shall give examples Of this super
stilion: a person with broad nails is OF
gentle nature, umid and bashfml. Those
whose nails grow into the flesh at the
points or sides are given to luxury. A
white mark on the nail bcspcaks of mis-.
fortune. Persons with very pale nails ara
subject To much inlirmity of the flesh
and persecution by ncighbors and friends.
People with narrow nails are ambitious
and q'mrrclsomc. Lovers of knowledge
and liberal sentiment have round nails.
Indolcnt people have generally ncshy
nails. Small nails indicate littlencss OF
mind, obstinacy and conccit. Mclan.
choly persons arc distinguished by thci,
pale or lcad-coorcd nails; and cholcric,
martial men, dclighLing in war, have rcd
and spotted nails.-3iciical Chqssics-

Thc Two Clcopntrn,s Needless.

There were two so-callcd Ccopatra's
needles. They stood originally at He'll
opolis, in front Of the great Temple of
tho Sun. After remaining there 1000
years, they were floated down the Milo
by the Romans and rc-crectcdin 23 B. G..
One of them wgs presented by Mahomct
Ali to the British Government, and it
now stands on the banks OF the Thames,
in London. The other was presented by
the Khedivc to the city of New York,
and in 1880 it was brought over and set
up in Central Park. IL is 70 feet high,
z feet square at the base and weighs 196
tons. The size and weight of the Lon

Where songs and laughter on each shore
Are drowned and hrslied forevermore.
