A Finger Nail Sixteen Feet Long.

: The question of whether Chinese
finger nails will come into general use
as articles OF jewelry is one which
interests shell and precious stone
dealers. The Chinese judge their
gentlemen as Americans do their idIers
by their long finger nails. A report
er has seen among the heirlooms of a
heavy weight merchant in Chinatown
a nail which attained the great length
of thirteen inches, and the Chinaman' g
grandfather was reported by the
merchant to have raised one eighteen
inches long on the index finger of his
left hand. The merchant at that
time said there was nothing wonder
full about that, as he knew Chinese
priest who had a nail on the little
finger of his left hand which was sixteen
feet and some inches in length, and
the priest was then but SO years OF
age.-San Francisco Letter.

ordinately dull yesterday. Nearly the
whole day was spent on general orders and
it happened that no bills OF particular in
terest to the general public were discussed.

Senator McMillan's automatic coupler and
brake bill--the measure which provides
that all cars and engines in the state must
be equipped with coupiers and brakes with
in four years-was re;erred to committee
consisting of Senators Mcmillan and Morse,
the latter having discovered a provision
which he thought needed modification. 1t
will be reported back to-day, and being first
on the calendar is likSly to be passed. This
was the most important bill on yesterdays
list. The bill providing .or the revision Of

degree of interest in the house yesterday
was the report of the judiciary committee
Oh the bill to regulate the sale of baking
powders containing ammonia as one of the
ingredients. The bill provides that all
such powders shall bear plain statement

lagher moved to have his bill providing for

Mr.. Penney, on behalf OF his bill, made
strong speech in which he pointed out

vdes that executions shall take place he
tween midnight and sunrise, and further
that so lar as the provision of the present
law prohibiting the publication of reports
Of executions was concerned, it had never
been observed by any OF the newspapers Of

After a lengthy discussion, in which the
objections OF the people of Saltwater to
have all the executions take place at the
penitentiary were enlarged upon at con-
siderable length, the bill was located by a
