THE FINGER NAILS.
Important Reason Why They Should b
Kept Clean.

Important Reason why They Should Be
Kept Clean.
There is a common belief that the finger
enough says the Boston Post. considering the
fact that scratches made by them are generally
quite irritable and much inclined to unusual
Inflammation.
The reasoning is erroneous, however, for, as
far as is known, the nails themselves do not
have any poisonous properties. The trouble
excited by them is due to the foreign deposits
under them. In other words il one keeps his
finger nails clean scratches caused by them
Will be no more irritable than those produced
by any like instrument that is considered in
nocent.
The results of the examinations made in
Vienna show that it il more important that
the finger nails be kept clean than any would
suppose. Seventy-eight were made and there
were found thirty kinds of micrococci eighteen
different baciih and three kinds of sarcenae;
besides, common mold spores were present in
many instances.
1t would seem from this that the spaces under
the finger nails were favorable hiding places
for the minute organisms which are more or
less prejudicial to health and that therein lies
Furthermore, that cleanliness of the nails is a
very important essential. It il not sufficient
to use merely knife blade, but at the toilet a
nail brush and plenty of soap and water should
be called into service
Surgeons long ago learned that deposits under
the nails were menace, and that through them
wounds were easily poisoned. This led to ex-
IRENE care in the matter of personal cleanli-
ness on their own part and on the part OF all
their assistants. Before an operation is per-
formed all who touch the patient or the instru-
ments which are 10 be used must first clean
their hands thoroughly with soap and water,
being especially careful to have the spaces
under the nails absolutely clean. Afte. this
the hands are put into disinfectant solutions

The Printing of News.


The yearning desire to choke the public
press into meek and inoffensive silence, which
desire occasionally comes to light in certain
quarters is highly commendable and ought to
receive the hearty support Of the public. When
q newspaper SO far forgets itself as to grow in
dignant over such triae as the killing Of an
unresisting boy by policeman that newspaper
ought instantly to be suppressed. When
newspaper is foolhardy enough to attempt to
expose a glaring and vicious fraud that news
paper ought instantly to go out of business.
Newspapers were never intended to crystalline
public opinion into strong, sharp sentences nor
to unmask wrong nor to demand protection for
the rights OF the people. The task of saying
what Is right or wrong should be left to some
hired attorney, who shall be at perfect liberty
to throw every possible abuse and slur on the
witnesses for the other side, and the world will
wag happily while his fee jingles pleasantly in
his pocket.
Perhaps so. Yet to the father whose much
loved son now lies in freshly made grave; TO
the people who believe that right is right and
wrong is wrong; to the victim of abuse. ras-
cality or trickery anywhere. the press that cries
for simple justice is not useless or abhorrent
thing. The cold type of "Uncle Toms Cabin"
which was first printed in newspaper, brought
IN time. IN great measure, the pen strokes of
the proclamation OF emancipation. The ex-
posure by daily paper Of some swindle has
more than once saved thousands Of poor people
from absolute beggary. Men can be hired by
the dozens to talk persuasively, abusiveIy or
fallaciously by the inducement of O neat
amount Of cold cash, but the newspaper, that
cannot be bought nor bribed; that fights wrong
fearlessly and dauntlessly, pluckily and OBJ
stinately, that is an ideal that some men cannot
comprehend.
There is but one thing which evil men and
their defenders fear and that one thing is pub
hcity. 1t would indeed be pleasant for certain
gentlemen who are anxious to be let alone if
ing nothing but advertisements, telegraphic
dispatches and disquisitions on ancient his
tory. However, there are and probably always
will be newspapers that are conducted ON
different principle.
