ABOUT FINGER NAILS.

Sickness Is Shown by Short Ridges
Superstition About Cutting.
Them. e
The philosophy OF the finger nails 10
q most interesting study, simple
though it may appear at first sight.
It has been computed that the aver
age growth of the finger nail is 1-32d
OF an inch per week, or little more
than an inch and halfper year. The
growth, however, depends to great
extent upon the rate of nutrition,
and during periods ofsickness it is un-
doubtedly 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 by eminent authorities
the average time taken for each finger
nail to grow it's full length is about
four and 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
feet 8 inches of nail on each finger, and
on all his fingers and thumbs an ag-
gregate length of II feet inches.
It is asserted by some that the nails
of the right hand grow faster than
those of the left.
1t is interesting to watch the history
of case of disease as recorded upon
the finger nails; wesee on each of them
a distinct ridge, showing that the
portion of the nail which has grown
since the acute attack ismuch thinned
out.
If 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 ridges. Extreme anxiety and
metal depression have the same effect
on the nails as physical disease.
The finger nail is very enduring
evidence of desease. If there has been
an acute rheumatism in the system,
with temperature of 1O4 or los
degrees, 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
,ings with regard to theparing OF finger
nails, and among them are the follow
ing:
"Cut them on Monday, cut them
tor health; cut them on Tuesday
cut them for wealth; cut them OF
Wednesday, cut them for letter; cut
them on Thursday cut them for some,
thing better; cut them on Friday, cut
them for wife; cut them on Saturday,
cut for life; cut them on Sunday you
cut for evil, for all that week you'll be
ruled by the devil. Boston Globe.

Elephant on Toast.

The young man from the country
took his green necktie aud his best
girl into restaurant, and like some
young men when the girls are about,
he was disposed to be facetious at the
walters expense:
"Waiter," he said. "a want you to
bring me a broiled elephant"
"Yassir."
Then he stood there like statue for
a minute.
"Well," said the young man, care
you going to bring it?"
"Yassir."
"Why don't you, thenf"
"Orders is, sir, that we get pay in
advance for elephants on toast, sir.
Elephants on toast, sir, are ST, ,5OO.25

ONE IDEA OF ECONOMY.

How a st. Louis Woman Thinks
She Saves Money on Beefstake.
"Some women have a peculiar idea
of economy" said a well-known mer-
chant. olive pretty far out in the
West End, where corner grocery and
butcher shop provisions cost more
than they do anywhere else on the
present extent OF discovered earth.
We have been paying 80 and 35 cents
each for common, ordinarily good
beefstakes and everything else in
proportion.
'The other day my wife had occa-
sion to visit a friend in South st.
Louis, and on her return to Broad
way to catch north bound car she
passed meat shop which attracted
her attention by reason of its clean
and Wholesale display of fresh meats.
She entered the place, selected large
steak and bought it.
"'How much?" she asked reaching
for her purse.
Fifteen cents, mum.
"'What!" cried my wife, fearing
she had not heard Alright. Fifteen
cents!
"'Yes, mum. Or two for quar-.
ter

"Then gimme two right quick. I
never heard of such prices in St.
Louis
"Proudly she walked out with her
two steaks, but she had only gone q
block-repeating to herself meanwhile,
never heard of such prices'-when it,
dawned upon her that she ought totake
advantage of the opportunity and lay
in a sort of winters supply. So back
she went to the butchers and bought
two more steaks.
"Well, thus far everything was right
and for several days we fairly reveied
in cheap, delicious meat. But, alasl
her success turned her head. That
was month ago. And yesterday she
told me with pride in her voice that
she had been sending down there
every day since for one steak-mind
you-for Is cents, with 20 cents car
fare added.
81 dare not disturb her dream of
economy. 1t was too realistic and
too full of victorious pleasure for my
ruthless hand to sweep away. / am

ity of her management-and paying

HOW WE LIVE IN AMERICA.

Both In the Matter of Foou aT1u
Dress This Country Is Far Ahead.
It has long been stoutly asserted
that the average American eats bet
Ter food and wears better clothes
than any other creature on earth.
But now science comes forward with
her searchlight of fact and reason to
give all needed support to this import
ant claim. The process of proof is as
follows: The unit of food value is
known technically as "caloric." The
declared average of the American
workingmen's rations is $500 calor-
les per day, the Europeans diet only
reaches from 1890 to 1900 calorics
per day; thus demonstrating the
nutritive value of our food to be
about twice as great as the English
mans or Frenchman's.
Professor Atwater very properly
concludes that thosefortunate enough
to live in this land OF Goshen enjoy
only one priceless boon: "a rich
abundance of the food they need to
make the most of themselves and
their work"
Proper physical support is the
basis Of our animal life and gives that
liberal nourishment necessary for
large productions and intellectual and
moral progress. Let ascetics rave as
they please and get their notices from
the cynic tub, it yet follows that a
correct use of these provisions il, the

AYE, of life ITSELF Bread has di.

tony, to have nothingto eat is misery
and death, and it seems to us that

dress, ask any observant man who
has visited Europe to give you re
suit of his experience in the matter.
The concurrent verdict is in favor oi

Baggage Checks.

The system of checks for baggage in
use on all the railways OF the United
States does not prevail abroad. The
London and Northwestern road in
England a year or two ago adopted the
plan for steamship baggage sin defer
ence to the preiudices of American
Travellers" to use the words of the
company, but in most cases trunks
and bags must be identified and.
claimed by the owners who travel
over European roads. Nevertheless.
the inventor of the baggage check was
an Englishmen. His story has been
told in this way:
John Palmer was born in England
eighty-two years ago, and came to
the United States in 1920, and came
to Union City, Michigan, in 1885.
In those early days his violin enliven-
ed many winter night. One great
annoyance he experienced was the
constant trouble people had in find
ing their wraps after the party broke
up. He thought on the subject often,
and a plan finally suggested
itself. just before q large dance he
numbered q lot of cards in pairs-1,
1;2, 2; 8, 8, etc. One card was given
to each person. and the other card
was attached to his wraps. Among
the first to arrive were four railroad
men from Marshall, Michigan. Three
took their checks; one threw his on
the floor. When they called for their
coats and hats they had forgotten all
about the checks. After hunting some
time the three produced their checks,
and at once received their wraps.
They had to identity the coat for the
fourth man.
Shortly after another party was
given at Burlington, and among the
guests were six railroad men from
Marshall, including the first four,
They watched the checking plan the
whole evening. Within three months
Il was adopted by the railroads ofthe
United States,
