RAIN IN THE SOUTHWEST.
The Drouth-stricken Region of Last Week
Is Now Afoat.

Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, May 12,-The heavi-
est rainfall ever known in Southwest
Texas has occurred during the past
forty-eight hours. The situation in
the section of country between here
and the Gulf coast, a distance of $50
miles, has changed from that of severe
drouth to that of the other extreme,
and the cotton and corn crops will be
damaged. Half mile of track and two
bridges have been washed out on the
San Antonio and Arkansas Pass rail-
way in Wilson county, 20 miles south
of here, and all traffic over that line
between here and Houston and coast
points has been cut off. Today thous-
ands of acres Of farming land in Will
son and adjoining counties are mum
dated to depth of from two to five
feet of water, and it is still raining.
slight washouts are also reported to-
day on the Southern Pacific and the
international and Great Northern rail-
roads.

ABOUT FINGER NAILS.
JicknesS Is Shown by Short Ridges
Superstitions About Cutting Them.

SuperstltlOns ABOUT cutting lhem'
The philosophy of the finger nail:
IS a most interesting study, simple
though it may appear at first sight
1t has been computed that the
average growth of the finger nails i:
l. 92d of an inch per week, or little
more than an inch and half year.
The growth, however, depends to a
great extent upon the rate OF
nutrition, and during periods OF sick
ness it is undoubtedly retarded.
1t is understood to grow faster in
summer than in winter, and differs
for different fingers, being most
rapid in the middle finger and slow
est in the thumb and little finger.
According to the rate of growth
agreed upon by eminent authorities
the average time taken for each
finger nail to grow its full length is
about four and a half months, and
at this rate a man of 10 years would
have renewed his nails 1877 times.
Taking the length of each nail at
half an inch he would have grown
seven feet nine inches of nail on each
finger, and on all his fingers and
thumbs an aggregate of seventy-seven
feet five inches,
1t is asserted by some that the
nails of the right hand grow faster
than those of the left.
It's interesting to watch the history
of case of disease as recorded upon
the finger nails; we see on each of
them a distinct ridge, showing that
the portion of the nail which has
grown since the acute attack is much
thinned out
If person has broken his arm
within eighteen months, the ridges
on the nails of the hand of the af-
fected arm may be seen, while they
will be absent on the other hand.
The more acute the illness the
sharper will be the ridge. Extreme
and mental depression have
the same effect on the nails as physi-
Cal disease.
The finger nail is a very enduring
evidence of disease If there has been
an acute rheumatism in the system,
with a temperature of 104 or 105 de-
grees, the nail will be cut down
sharply
In typhoid fever, where the disease
comes on gradually, there is no sharp
cutting of the nail.
There are several well-known say
ngs with regard to the pairing of
niger nails, and among them are the
"Cut them on Monday, cut them
or health; cut them on Tuesday, cut
hem for wealth; cut them on Wednes-
lay, cut them for a lette.'; cut them
IN Thursday for something better;
tut them on Friday, you cut for a
wife; cut them on Saturday, cut for
life; cut them on Sunday you cut for
vii, for all of that week you'll be
uled by the devil"

VIRGINIA PENNY.
How She Smoothed the Way for Pioneer
Working Women.


Working Women.
More than u generation ago Vir-
ginia Penny wrote the first book ever
published to help working women.
Miss Penny was full of enthusiasm
Tor her own sex when working women
were not the fashion, as they are
now. At her own expense she trav-
eled through the most thickly settled
portions of the union, gathering facts
and figures about the work of women
outside of the three occupations then
open to the seX-housewOrk, teach
ing and sewing. There were not
many railroads then and no elevators
in business houses. The slender girl
Travelled by stage and wagon and
climbed the stair cases afoot. She
visited hundreds of stores, shops and
factories, making careful note of all
the facts bearing on the question of
women'5 wagc-carning employments,
actual and possible. As she
progressed it became clear to
her that many of the things
men did for Il living women
could do as we'll The information
was written out in admirable English
and published and republished in a
book form, under different names, first,
"Employments for Women" then
olive Hundred Occupations for
Women" and again "How Women
Can Make Money" But it never
prohted the author financially,
though thousands of volumes were
sold Miss Penny is now 6j years
old and destitute. Happy women
are following in the paths she
pointed out, some of them earning
$4,000, $1,000 and $4,000 a year.
Women owe it to her to make Nir-
ginia Penny's last days comfortable
and it must be done at once. Mrs.
Eliza Archard ConnOr of New York
city, asks the women of America to
help raise fund for that purpose.
Miss Penny will acknowledge by let

in the rocks and escaped.
Give years later, when he was
mere boy, he went on the warpath
for the Apaches, and he never spared
one. He could not count exactly how
many he had killed in his life.
1.-The last time | saw him was one
day while the stage stopped to let
the horses rest near Texas Hill, on
the ella river, in 1872, His fame as
rifle shot had spread all over the
West, and the mention of his name
filled the Apaches' heart with fear
and trembling.
1.-The passengers persuaded him to
give an exhibition of his marksman-
ship, and he consented He nailed a
board ON the side OF little shanty,
and put 100 balls at distance of
100 yards in the same place, without
the difference of sixteenth of an
inch in 100 shots

suddenly around and fired.

THE CALITHUMPiANS.
The Bridegroom set Up Fence and
Got the Laugh on Them.

Got the Laugh on Them.
1t was in Somerset county, not a
thousand miles from New Portland,
Maine, that there lived a man who
went to serenade all of the people
who got married. He seemed to de-
light in raising a company Of boys
and going to house where a newly
married couple were sweetly sleeping
and suddenly awakening them with
the impression that all the brood of
hell was loose
Steve was a goOd-natured fellow
and had many good qualities, and so
it was natural that he himself should
fall into the snares of pretty woman
and get married. As he had been a
ring-leader in the sport the word was
given out, and the men from all over
town came down and went up to
Steve's house at midnight. Every
COW bell and every old gun in the
town was there. The air hung heavy
and thick with gunpowder smoke
like battlefield after few rounds.
All was dark and quiet in the house,
and the serenadcrs kept it up till
morning.
ale shan't get out Of it that way"
they said, and teams scurried along
the country highways in every direc-
ton that day summOning the clans
men to the bombardment. They got
there early that night. No one fired
a gun till all was ready, and then it
came like a crash of lightning, with
accompanying thunder.
1t was u o'clock when Steve came
to the door, rubbing his eyes and
looking in his half-dresscd condition
as If he had just got up.
"Why, fellers, | didn't know you
were here. | just heard a noise and
thought that it might be you, and so
come out. Come in, you fellers, and
be at home. | hain't got much, but
| have little good cheer. Come in,
| say, and make yourself at home"
In they came, and Steve lighted all
the lamps. Now, what he had was q
barrel of cider into which the day
before he had poured all the rum and
whisky it would hold. They all took
hold and drank it up. Steve stood |
around, urging them to take some
more. Don't be skeery of it, fell
lers, there's more down stairs" Some
of them knew when they took the
first glass that 1t was loaded, but
they didn't pay any attention after
ward.
Well, you ought to have seen them
'will that stuff. Why, there were
men there drinking split apple juice
and whisky that to-day arc holding
very high places in the synagogue.
Along toward morning they com
nenced to meandcr out toward the
village. When the sun came up next
morning those good people were laid
along beside the road like a tired
'egiment that sleeps upon its arms.
by noon most of the men were
AIKEN away and carried home by their
friends. When they came to and met

WAS THE GOOSE GRATEFUL
This Bird Helped to Save Farmer
From Ruin.

From Ruin.
Amos Holton of Short Willows, a
farming district in the western part
of New London county, is an honest
industrious old fellow, who has lived
a life of nearly 80 years at Snort
! Willows, where he owns small farm,
says the New York World.
Two years ago his wife and daugh-
ter died, leaving him alone in the
world. The blow to the old fellow
was a severe one.
He determined to do the handsome
thing by his dead wife and daughter,
and had erected over their graves a
rather costly monument, for which
he was obliged to give the marble
dealer a mortgage on his farm as Sc
curity.
The mortgage expired December
%, 1892, and as the time approached
for its payment Holton saw that he
was not going to be able to meet the
obligation.
The mans neighbors became aware
of his predicament and a contribu-
tion of money was made for the pur-
pose of liquidating the debt, but it
fell short of the required amount by
about $50. 1t looked very much as
if he would lose his home.
Holton depends during the winter
season on his traps for an income.
One morning while he was looking
after some mink and otter traps along
Eight-Mile river, his attention was
attracted to clump of bushes by q
peculiar noise He investigated and
found wild goose lying in the brush
helpless. One of the birds legs had
been shattered by a gunshot.
Holton picked up the goose and
took it home. He did his best to heal
the wounded leg, and in about a
weeks time had the satisfaction of
seeing the bird hobbling around APP
parently as well as ever, with the
exception of the crippled limb.
Ho.ton kept half a dozen geese and
he let the wild goose run with them.
The bird seemed to be perfectly salts
fed with the conditions that sur
rounded it. 1t ate corn with the
other fowls and in a short time was
thoroughly established as one of
Farmer Holton's flock.
One morning when Holton went
out to feed his fowls the crippled |
goose was missing and he didn't ap-
pear on the scene for three days. |
The farmer concluded that it had |
gone back to its old associates and |
dismissed it from his mind.
On the third morning of the disap-
pearance of the goose Holton was out
in the yard feeding his fowls when he
heard the "konk, konk," of wild
geese. He looked up to locate them,
when to his amazement a flock of
geese settled down on the ground
short distance from him and among
them was the missing crippled goose,
who seemed to be their leader
At first the birds were shy of Hol-
ION, but they soon became fearless OF
MIN, and in a couple of days were
eating regularly with the domestic
fowls.
Holton saw his opportunity. One
lay ne drove the geese into pen and
captured them. Three days later he |
carried twenty-five dressed geese to
market and came home with $50 in
lis pocket.
This, with the money subscribed by
lis neighbors, enabled Holton to pay
off the mortgage and to become once
more a free man.
