MEN WITH PRETTY NAILS.
How People In Washington Have Their
Hands Put In Order.

"Men are no longer ashamed to have
their nails attended to, said fashion
| able manicure specialist. eyes, indeed,
they used to be very much so. Fourteen
years ago, when / first came to Wash
ington, my occasional male customers
were wont to dodge into my shop in a
sneaking way, as if they feared detec-
ton in the act. Let your fingers rest in
this little basin of warm water, if you
please. But, as was about to say, that
has all changed. Very many gentle
men, about half as many as ladies, come
to me to have their hands treated. Nor,
if they happen to be seen here by any
of their friends, do they feel abashed.
'You see people have come to con-
slider it as much a matter of course 20
have their nails attended to as to have
their teeth kept in order. Once upon a
time it was regarded as nothing out of
the way to have decayed teeth, and
toothaches were common complaint.
Let me take you in and dry it in this
towel, so. ] have quite little arsenal
of weapons, you observe, for pairing the
nails and other necessary operations
Take notice how delicately these little
curved scissors can be employed TO trim
away little bits of superhuous skin
around the nails. As Twas remarking,
it is the thing now to have the hands
manicured. The most fashionable peo-
pie have their nails put in order r'eu-
larly once week.
'The art of manicuring originate in
France. and was brought to this crun-
try about fifteen years ago. A little
while before that it had become the
fashion on this side Of the water, for
ladies particularly, to possess sets of
tools for improving their own nails If
you were to have an opportunity of
comparing the nails Of well-bred peo-
pie to-day with those Of a generation
or two ago you would be astonished 20
find what an improvement there has
been. Now that have made the tips
of your nails nicely rounded and
smooth-edged by rubbing with this bit
of emery cardboard it is time for you to

however, the famine is not yet at its
there where slender harvest is posi-
BILE, which for few weeks will ameli-
crate the condition of the people who
live in these favored parts. When this
small supply of grain is exhausted, the
famine, which Is already very serious,
will grip the whole nation in its with
ering hand, and there is no hope or
help from within their borders until the
next rains, nearly year hence.
No one who has not seen and felt the
awful desolation can realize into what
fearful condition country is plunged
by famine. No rain, crops scorched by
the intense heat; tanks, whose supply
of water has been depended upon for
irrigation, empty, and their beds baking
in the blazing sun; all vegetation
withered, and rivers and wells dry; the
scarcity of food increasing, the price of
grain rapidly rising; the people, with
their gaunt, enaciated bodies, foclzing
by the hundreds and thousands to the
relief camps established by the British
government. All this misery and suf.
fering because the blessed rain has
been withheld. In many places fodder
for cattle is unattainable and the
people are tearing thatches from build
ings to feed the furnishing animals. In
other localities cattle are being killed
IN great numbers, as their owners are
unable to feed them. Also thousands
and thousands have died and are dying
of starvation. Every effort is made to
keep certain number alive, which
must be done at all hazards, for plow-
ing when the next seeding time comes.
How the people are to maintain them
selves until the next annual rains is a
most serious question, and will doubt
less be answered in the usual way-a
large part of the population will be
supported by the government at the
famine camps. There will be bare ex-
istence of many others, and the death
of thousands and even millions of peo-
pie. The better class will have enough
to eat, as they will import grain at
enormous prices from other countries

ETNA IN ERUPTION.
It's Eighty-Fifth Outbreak Within
Historic Times.
A Stream of Lava Destroying villages
and Vineyards on the Southern slope
View of the Mountain from the
City of Catania.

Mount Etna, the great volcano which
has excited the wonder of the nations
in all ages, is again in eruption. Its
present activity, says the New York
Sun, repeats the history of the eighty
four eruptions which have occurred
within historic times. Now, as hereto
fore, earthquakes have presaged and ac-
companied the outbursts Of lava. Loud
explosions have been heard. Fissures
have opened in the side of the noun
tain, and lava, issuing from them, is
flowing down the gentle slope, follow
ing the line of least resistance. Passing
below the region of barren rock and
scoria, the molten stream is over
whelming the vineyards and villages
in its route. The lava has already in
vaded the town of Nicolosi, half way
down the southern slope. This is the
place where tourists who ascend Etna
to see it's wonderful crater and to wit
ness the magnificent sunrise from its
summit usually begin their climb. 1t
is probable that the present eruption
has destroyed the favorite path of
tourists and buried or carried away the
Casa del Bosco and the Casa Inglese,
two huts built on the route where the
animals used in the ascent are fod-
dered and tourists rest awhile.
There are no mountain slopes in the
world SO covered with vineyards, farms
and villages as those of Mount Etna.
About 100000 people live on it's sides.
They have become accustomed to the
dangers that always threaten. The
richness of the soil, formed of decom-
posed lava and vegetable mold, has
made the slopes of Etna one of the gar
den spots of the world; and SO the peo-
pie cling to their mountain home,
though they do not know how soon
they may be driven away. The brief
cable dispatches report that large area
of this tillable land has already been
overwhelmed, and that thousands of
people have been driven from their cot
tages.
Mount Etna is on the eastern sea-
board of Sicily. 1t has been the theme
Of poets and historians, and is often re-
ferred to by classical writer's. It's height
is 10, 7S4 feet. From its summit the sea
and country around can be seen dis
lance of $50 miles, afording one of the
most magnificent Of prospects. The

the natural divisions of free, open air

lalert few minutes serve to start hot
fire from fuel prepared over night, the
chops or eggs sizzle in the frying pan,
the coffee-pot sings gayly beside it, and

canned vegetables, bread, sugar and the
ever-ready "tin milk" Breakfast de-
spatched, each pan and dish of the simple
outfit is washed and slowed compactly

tanning everything pertaining to the
kitchen. Blankets and bedding are

gently flowing lavas which reared the
mighty mountain covered large area,
and the road which runs around the
lower slopes is eighty-seven miles long.
| Two cities, Catania and Aci Reale, and
sixty-three towns or villages are built
around the base or on the slopes.
The picture of Etna shows quite a
number of little elevations on the noun
tain side. They are among the most
characteristic features of the volcano.
These minor cones, once the outlets of
lava, are scattered all over the noun
tain and number about 600, many of
them being only insignificant month
culeS
Comparatively few tourists make the
ascent of Etna, which is laborious
Those who do undergo the labor, how
ever, feel amply repaid by the glorious
view from the top. The ascent is only
possible in summer, and June, July and
September are the months best adapted
for the journey. The tourists, starting
from Nicolosi, have a journey Of about
thirty miles before them. The general
desire is to be at the summit to see the
sun rise, and the climb is made during
moonlit nights The hardest part of
the climb is the approach to the great
crater, where the deep ashes are hard
to wade through. The weather is al
ways very cold near the top, and tour
lists are sometimes so benumbed when
they reach the crater that the guides
cover them with warm ashes for awhile.
At the summit the travellers find them
selves on the narrow rim Of the crater,
which is three miles round. The view
is unspeakably grand, as peak after
peak catches the light of the rising
sun Etna being the one great noun
tain of Sicily, there is nothing to inter-
cept the sight. But the most interest
ing part of the view is the great noun
tain itself with its multitude of lesser
cones sprinkled around its sides, and
the zigzag paths Of the different lava
streams plainly revealed through the
zones of snow and ashes; then forests,
and lastly luxuriant cultivation. The
icy cold usually prevents prolonged
stay at the summit.

mountain from which this picture was
