Every Body Can Have Them by Caring

"Your nails always look so nice" 1
overheard one damsel remark to another
not long ago, says correspondent. "Do
you go to manicure every day2"
"Oh, no, have never been to one, for
it is the easiest thing in the world to
take care of ones own nails-just lit
tie care every day."
well, I've tried and tried, and can't
make mine look even decent. Tell me
what you do"
Here listened for the prescription,
which in sum and substance was as fol-
lows:
I'm order to keep the skin back from
the nail use a nail-brush Fredericksburg
it on the nails particularly. Then, in
drying my hands. work the towel from
the point Of the nail back toward the
finger. cut my nails often, and don't
let them get too long. BY cutting the
nails in such way that the corners do
not adhere to the skin, hang-nails can
be avoided and the shape of the nails
changed. Where the nails are thin and
inclined to break, frequent oiling is
necessary, and the nails should never be
polished, except when some oily sub
stance Is used besides the powder. This
keeps tho nails more pliable, and no
matter how thin they are, if properly
treated they are no more liable to
break than thicker ones. Another thing
that is bad for the nails is polishing
them too roughly. They should be
lightly touched and not rubbed until
they become heated. This is one cause
OF white spots coming on the nail and
marring its beauty. A little attention
every day will make any hand look
nice"
To this conversation which I over
heard let mo add word or two about
tho hands. To make them white thew
should DO occasionally rubbed with
lomon juice and water. The hands
should never be allowed to remain long
soiled with sny thing that will stain
them. But unless there is some reason
for 1t, 1t is better not to wash the hands
too often. They should be dried with o
soft towel

Professor Orton has again put him.
self on record regarding the duration of
the natuarl gas supply. In this paper
read before the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, on
Municipal Corporations and the
Natural Gas Supply" he stated that
there is not the slightest doubt that the
natural gas supply in the Indiana and
Ohio fields is not only exhaustible, but
is rapidly and surely being exhausted.
He said he was yet to find a man con-
versant with existing facts who does
entirely agree with him. The truth
of this, DR.. Orton says, is incontrover-
tibly proven by facts to be easily gath
cred. The pressure Of the gas in the
wells in the Ohio and Indiana fields is
steadily diminishing, the decrease al
ready amounted to 80 or 40 per cent.
In view of this, DR.. Orton urges the
imperative necessity for cities and
States to take action restricting the
lavish and wasteful use of gas. Even
the strictest regulations cannot prevent
the exhaustion of the supply OF gas in
a few years, but may put off that ex-
haustion some time.--Findlay Courier.

evening Of March 26. on Borden avenue. near

fore Justice Cullen in the Supreme Court, Long
Island City, yesterday. After being out ten
minutes the jury returned verdict OF guilty Of
assault in the first degree. The penalty Is
from five to ten years Imprisonment
1t was expected that Romans defence would
be temporary insanity his plea, however. was
self-detence. He attempted to create O scene
in court at the opening OF the case by telling
tho Court that he had no lawyer to defend him.
Counsel had been assigned by the Court to
look after his case. but he objected to the man
ner in which it WAS beiug conducted. He also
wanted subbTnaed. Moulton testified III al he
was, talking 10 driver when 10 was shot in
Who was covering him with a revolver.
The Court allowed Roman full latitude. and
he told his story In rambling disc9nnected
manner. Twenty years ago he said, he drove
the car on Fourth avenue on which Moulton
was conduG}or They never got along well
from a number of places. His, object in going
to beg Moulton to quit prosecuting him. so that
he could go to work again. W hon Al"ulton got
on the car, he says. he walked up to him and
sail;
He Gays Moulton replied: 90 away from me
or I'll shoot you"
knowing Monlton''e disposition and fearing
he would carry out his threat. Roman says he
covered with the revolver until he saw he was
not armed, when he gave his own weapon to
the officer who arrested him. He concluded
his story by saving:
"Moulton killed my son by his prosecutions
he broke up my family. and / suppose he'll
