NAILS AND HAIR.

Scientific Observations Relating To Their
Formation and Growth.
The following interesting observations
have been made by Berthold, OF Gottingen.
He found that nails which were cut OF re.
formed quicker in children than adults, and
in these than in old people; that they formed
quicker in summer than in winter "a nail
which in summer would be repaired In 1l6
days, in winter Is repaired In 15e) that the
nails on the right hand reformed quicker
than those Of the left; that the nails Of diff
ferent fingers reformed in different times;
on both hands the nail Of the middle finger
was most quickly reformed; then those Of
the ring and index fingers, which wero
nearly equal; the nails and the little
finger took q much longer time, and the
little finger rather the longest, particularly
on the left hand.
As regards the hair, Berthold found that
in persons from 10 10 "A years old, whose
hair had been cut of for fever, ETC.. the
length had reached In two years from u 70
IS inches, giving an average Of seven lines
per month. By cutting of the hairs OF the
beard (Hetted with rain water only with
very sharp knife, every 12, "a, or 80 hours
measuring them with the micrometer, and
weighing them, Berthold arrived at the fol
lowing results:
/. The growth is increased the oftener the
hair is cut; thus the beard cut every twelve
hours, grows at the rate Of from FIVE and
half 10 twelve inches q year; cut every
twenty.four hours, II grows at tho rate Of
from five TO seven and q half inches per
year; cut every thirty-slx hours, IL grows

"a Model County Paper"
From the Baltimore Sun, March 9th. !


The Staunton (Va) VINDIcAToR recently
entered upon the 45th year of its publication
and in celebration of its anniversary appeared
in an entire new dress, causing it to present an
exceedingly neat typographical appearance
per- Its editorials are conservative, but Wig
orous; its local columns contain all the news
OF Staunton and surrounding country, and its
news, literary and miscellaneous departments
receive careful and intelligent attention. Its
senior editor and proprietor, Mr.. II. G. TinSley,
IS veteran and Well-equipped journalist, and
the junior OF the firm, MIA. S. Morton, has
Inherited much OF the newspaper and business
tact OF his father and predecessor, Nh L. G.
Morton. The NINDICATOR was a pioneer in
the cash system among the country press of
Virginia, and when about thirteen years ago it
announced its purpose to put this system in
force in the conduct of its business, predic-
tons of failure were made by many who sup
posed the cid and vicious credit system was so
we'll entrenched that it could not be rooted up
by a weekly newspaper. When the day ar
rived for the NINDICArOR to put its cash SyS-
tenn into effect, the first work its propretors
performed was to erase from the subscription
list the names of nearly 800 subscribers whose
own neglect had placed them in arrears. For
a weekly paper this seemed big cut, but the
INDICATOR publishers meant business. The
months the VINDICAToR's subscription list
was larger than at any time within its history,
and it is now one of the most prosperous and
valuable weekly papers in the country. Since
then, other Virginia papers have followed the
NINDICATOR i'll the enforcement of the cash
system, and with excellent results to their eX-

scarcely believe. Meanwhile, over
all the peculiarities of Australian
civilization there is an unmistake
able English tinge-even the Scotch
and Irish colonists claim to be Eng
lishmen, claim which they would
repudiate in their respective native
countries.
With examples of the above evolu-
tions of civilization, lesson may be
learned that would be applicable to
the Hawaiian Islands, which In
nearly all respects have population
very different in its peculiarities
from that of either America or Aus
tralia. Our population is yet in the
fermentation stage; its elements are
newly mixed; the ingredients are of
an exceedingly varied nature and
constantly changing; and what the
result will be after maturity, is yet
very problematical. That these
islands will, under any possible con
ditions, continue to be ruled by the
white race there can be no doubt
but the ultimate form Of civilization
in this kingdom-say of the next
century-is a problem of which, as
yet, there is no forecast. The whole
matter is experimental, and socia
and political conflicts only retarc
the efforts now being made to affair
the highest kind of civilization pos
sible under the peculiar circum
stances by which the present popula
ton is surrounded.

The Gates Again.

Inc yates Again.
Mr.. EDITOR: Of late there has
been a good deal written upon the
subject of gates on public highways,
and your article thereon I have just
read. Now, sir, I do not presume
there is any legal right to erect gates,
but will say they are of great bene-
fit to the ranchman and to certain
extent, a public one. Let us take
the road from Maizena,, Maui, to Ma
kawao, on which there are several
gates. We will presume a traveller
arrives from Honolulu, borrows a
horse, and journeys as far as Kula.
In the morning his horse is gone,
broken rope, or got out of badly
fenced paddock. Is a gate of no
public benefit in this case? When
instead of having to journey eighteen
miles, his horse is found at an
offending gate only four miles dis
tant. Now, for Hawaii. A traveller
from Kohala to Waimea, being
placed in a similar position as our
Honolulu friend on Maui would call
down a blessing upon any one who
erected few gates on that road. In
Australia any traveller wilfully leav-
ing open a gate, if seen, usually
camps with few tender places on
his back.
No true ranchman or man of con-
scientious principle is above open
ing and closing a gate in passing
through pasture country. As tn ey
are aware such neglect may put the
land owner to great expense and
loss. AS pure bred stock may be IN
one paddock and common stock in
the other.
Ranching is not such a gold mine
in this country that a man can find
funds to fence his land on either
side of the road. Those who fence
their boundaries do we'll. In outly-
ing districts where there is no car
riage traffic, and as ladies do not
travel in such places without male
escort, I cannot see that a gate is
any inconvenience. Of course there
will always be sore heads; but they
are usually the ones that find their
way to the ranch about shutdown to
accept the hospitality of the offend
ing gate owner. Thanking you for
space allowed, I remain yours truly,
THos. VIM. GAY.
