Time to Cut Them.
From the Philadelphia Times.
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 nail is one-.hirty-
| second of an iuch per week, or q
! little more than an inch and a half per year
| The growth, however, depends to great
extent upon tie rate of nutrition, aud dur
ing periods OF sickness it is undou btedly
retarded.
1t is understood to grow faster in summer
than in winter and differs for different
| fingers, being most rapid in the middle fin-
ser aud slowest 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 A months. aud at
tais rate q man Of 70 years OF age would
have renewed his nails 1856 times.
Taking the length OF each nail at half an
inch, he would have grown feet 9 inches
of nail on each finger, and on all Of his an
gers and thumbs an aggregate length
of n feet inches.
1t is asserted Dy some that the nails Of
the right hand grow faster than those of
the left.
1t is interesting 10 watch the history of a
case Of disease az recorded upon the finger
nails. When we look at the patients nails
we see on each of them a distinct ride.
showing that the portion Of the nail which
has grown since the acute attack is much
thInned out.
II q person has broken his arm within
eighteen months the ridges on the nails Of the
hand Of the affected arm may DO seen,
! while they will be absent on the other hand
The more acute the illness the sharper
will be the ridge. Extreme anxiety and
mental depression have the same effect on
nails as physical disease.
The finger nail is very enduring evil
dence OF disease. If there has been an acute
rheumatism in the system, with q tempera-
ture Of 104' or 1862 the nail will be
cut down sharply.
In typhoid fever, where the disease comes
on gradually, there is no such sharp cut

MRS. LELAND STANFORD.
How She Manages Her Husbands
Vast Estate.
Although sivty-Eixht Years of Age she
Works Steadily Every Day and Passes
on All Bills and Other Doc
uments.

Mrs. Leland Stanford is undoubted-
ly to-day the foremost business woman
IN America. No other woman controls
so many millions, and probably no
other woman of large business affairs
displays so much sagacity-so intelli-
gent grasp of business or more conf
dence in herself and independence of
others.
She knows what she wants and sees
that she gets it, says the San Francis
co Examiner. Many other women
have become heirs and administra-
tr1Xes to vast estates, but they have as
a rule depended on the Judgment of
others and let others attend to their
business. No woman in a like situa-
tion has ever had more able men about
her ready to advise and assist, but she
keeps the reins well in her own hands
and goes on her Judgment to u re-
markable degree. Since Senator STAN
ford's death she has displayed sagaci-
ty, determination and energy that are
truly wonderful. She has shown her
ability by taking hold of vast proper

was needed in many directions, and
which properties under Senator Stan
lords policy had never been run so as
to make money, and in n time of finan-
cial depression putting them on pay
ing basis and getting from them quick
ly the money wherewith to run the
Stanford university.
She is said to be usually at her desk
at Palo Alto earlier in the morning
than most business men are at theirs
and she keeps herself busy the whole
day through personally attending even
to minute details. When at home she
approves or disapproves every requisi-
ton from the superintendent, and all
bills for the Palo Alto ranch and most
OF those from her other estates have to

vICEROY OF INDIA
His Position Surpassed in Gran.
deur by Few Rulers.
Bow the Indian Empire Is Goverued-A
Task Requiring Rare Tact and Cool
Judgment-LordL Lansdowne's
Successor,

1t was no easy matter for Mr.. Glad
stone to find an acceptable successor
to the marquis of Lansdowne as viceroy
Of India. Custom requires that the
governor general shall be a member of
the house of lords of high rank; and it
is the practice of English premiers to
appoint one of their own party.
1t happens that the question of Irish
home rule has driven from Mr.. Glad
stones support almost every peer of
the realm except those who were
created peers by him, and those who
hold Office in his government. The
earl of Elgin, upon whom the vice
royalty has been conferred, is one Of
eight lords only whom the London
Times enumerated as having voted for
home rule who were under no obliga-
tion to Mr.. Gladstone.
The position was first offered to Sir
Henry Norman, a soldier OF great ex-
perience, and accepted by him. But
the appointment was not well received,
and as the health of Sir Henry was
really not good he assigned that-oDe
true reason, no doubt-for changing
his mind and declining the Office.
Little interest is felt in this country
IN the government Of India. Yet, says
the Youths Companion, the viceroy
rules over one-ffth of the human race,
subject to certain control by the
home government, and occupies po-
sition surpassed in grandeur by only
four rulers, the queen of England, the
emperors of Germany and Russia and
the president of the United States.
The task of governing India is one Of
great difficulty, owing to the vast ex-
tent of territory, the number of lately
independent and still mutually hostile
states which make up the empire, ard
the difference of race and religion of
the people.
How are these three hundred mil
lions governed? Roughly speaking,

Newspaper Tax In Turkey.

A peculiar feature in Ottoman Jour
nalism is the fact that every publisher
is required by Law to pay a revenue
tax of two paras, or one-ffth of a
cent, per copy printed each issue. This
tax is collected by issuing stamps for
the purpose, which are to be pasted on
each sheet, like postage stamps. be-
fore going TO press, and Cancelled by
the printing running over them. In
consequence the unfortunate publisher
is forced to pay tax on waste copies as
well as unsold ones. 1t is therefore
evident that daily paper printing
10000 copies is taxed at SO least every
day in the year.

THE KANSAS ALLIANCE.

Topeka, Kan. Dec. 6.-The morning
session of the Farmers Alliance and Indus

faction wants to keep the Alliance aloof
from politics; the other, which is the
stronger, aud is headed by S. H. Scott, the
state Alliance lecturer, wants league
formed to disseminate popuiist literature

contest will be interesting aud may be
bitter. The usual committees were ap-
pointed and the secret SESSION adjourned

by fifteen hundred English gentlemen,
one thousand civilians and five hun
dred officers who constitute the i'm
| perial service, or in other words are
| the empire. Behind them is an army
of two hundred and fifty thousand
| men, of whom two-thirds are native
| troops-seventy-fou thousand only be-
ing English soldiers.
With this force they have held in
check the turbulent races so well that,
as native prince said, not long ago:
"A shot has not been fired in India for
five and thirty years." 1t takes twelve
millions of armed men to keep the ma
tions of Christian Europe from flying
at each others throats. If the stand
ing army of heathen India was as
large in proportion, there would be
forty soldiers where now there is one
1t would be a mistake, however, to
suppose that all governing powers are
absorbed by these fifteen hundred for
eigners with the viceroy at their head.
They constitute the supreme control
ling body, but practically the admins
tration of India is in the hands of the
natives of the country.
The clerkships exclusively and the
great majority of revenue and judicial
offices are held by them, while nearly
a third of the peninsula consists OF
semi-independent states in which the
whole machinery of the government is
in the hands of native princes, under
the guidance of a single British resi-
dent.
1t is the proud and truthful boast of
England, amply confirmed by native
testimony, that her Indian empire is
ruled by men absolutely free from cor
ruption, the bane of oriental rulers,
never willfully oppressive and who
rarely blunder. Their marvellous sue
cess is shown by the prosperity of the
country which they govern.
During the last decade the popula-
ton has increased greatly, and the
wealth and commerce of the country
still more. Railroads. canals, schools
and other accompaninents of western
civilization have been introduced cn a
large scale.
Upon the new viceroy it will rest, as
much as it can upon any one man, to |
carry on this grand civilizing work, to |
maintain this par britannica by which |
the sum of human happiness within 4
generations life has been so largely |
