Which Was Criticised by Some Texas States
men.
In the Texas Legislature the other day the
prayer Of the chaplain offered at the opening
Of. the pending days session came up for DIS
custom The following resolution As reported
in the Austin Statesman was offered:
Whereas the prayer which appears in the
house journal this morning is an unjust and
unwarranted reflection on certain members,
therefore be it
Resolved, That that portion Of the prayer
which reads rs follows, "Oh, God, open the
eyes Of those who have allowed the love of
money to be balanced against virtue, that
they may see that purity is above rubies, and
that in their hands is placed the power to save
those against whom the false standard Of society
has closed the churches and all avenues for ref
ormation, be expunged from the journal OF
this house.
Mr.. Dills offered substitute that the printing
OF the prayers of the chaplain in the house
journal be discontinued.
There was some discussion in keeping with
the spirit of the resolution by Messrs. Rowell,
Davis Of Falls and others. Mr.. Rowell thought
the invocation was aimed at the members, but
Mr.. Davis was not satisfied that 1t either
aimed at him and the gentleman from Marion
or applied to either Of them. [Applause.l

Their Growth. Their Health and the Time
to Cut Them.
From the Philadelphis Times
The philosophy Of the finger nails ID Q most
interesting study. simple though it may appear
at first sight
II has been computed that the average
growth Of the finger nail is l-s2 Of an inch per
week, or q little more than an inch and Q half
per year. The growth, however, depends to a
great extent upon the rate OF nutrition, and
during periods Of sickness II il 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
slowest in the thumb and little finger
According to the rate of growth agreed upon
taken for each finger nail to grow its full
length IL about four and half months, and a,
this rate . man Of seventy years OF age would
have renewed his nails 1856 times.
Taking the length of each nail at half an
inch, he would have grown z feet inches of
nail on each finger. and on all his fingers and
thumbs an aggregate length Of n feet inches.
It is asserted by some that the nails of the
right hand grow faster than those Of the left
It is interesting to watch the history Of case
of disease as recorded upon the finger nails
When we look at the patients nails we see no each
Of the nail which has grown since the acute at
tack is much thinned out.
II person has broken his arm within
eighteen months the ridges on the nails Of the
hand Of the affected 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 anxiety and mental de-
preston have the same effect on the nails a.
physical disease.
The finger nail is a very enduring evidences
Of disease. If there has been an acute rheu-
matism in the system, with temperature Of
104 or los degrees, the nail will be cut down
sharply.
In typhoid fever, where the disease comes or
gradually, there is no such sharp cutting of the
nail.
There are several well-known sayings with
regard to the pairing of the finger nails, anc
among them are the following:
"Cut them on Monday, cut them for health
cut them on Tuesday, cut them for wealth
cut them on Wednesday, cut for a letter: GU
them on Thursday for something better: GU

UNLESS THE ARMY BILL PASSES
The Kaiser Will Dissolve the Reichstag ut
the End of April.

The Schlessiche Zeitung Of Berlin, organ
OF Chancellor Caprivi states on author
ity that dissolution will occur at the end of
April unless the reichstag passes the army bill.
The kaiser has the right to dissolve the reich
stag after vote by the bundesrath, and in that
case the new elections must take place within
sixty days and a new session must open within
ninety days.
The utterance Of the Sctlessiche Zeit,tno is
regarded as an indication that Chancellor
Caprivi is beginning to despair of the passage
OF the army bill and that both kaiser and the
chancellor regard dissolution the only re-
source.
