READING THE FINGER NAILS.

Character as 1t Is Expressed In the Tips of
Woman's Fingers.
Examine her finger nails. If these
wear the hue Of bereavement-but why
suggest anything SO odious and impossi-
Bile? If they are tinged with ink, beware
of the learned lady, or perhaps she is a
successful novelist, with fortune at her
finger ends, Yet she may be a Sappho, a
poet, and we have distinct impression
that muse may be perilous person to
marry, as in the case of Miss Blanche
Amory. And poetry is not paying pro-
fession, and Mrs. Hemans was too poet
ical" for Sir Walter Scott. However.
these are merely mortal differences 1t
needs no ''palmist" to tell the young
man all this, nor does 1.-The palmist"
daily over such differences
If her finger nails are wider than they are long,
beware!
She hath her nails not long, but broad. Bewarel
as the sweet singer of America might
have said. "A hot temper and obstinate
disposition are indicated" This kitten,
as in Mr.. James Boswell's poem, will
grow cat and cross like other wives.
If the nails are square tipped, round
ed next the hand, you may expect
quick and poppery temper" but not
sulks, which is the worst of tempers in
matrimony. Remember that when alady
gives you her hand she gives you all that
the hand implies-very probably she
gives you pepper. 1t would be very in
teresting to know what kind of nails
Mrs. Carlyle had, and what sort adorned
the fingers of Mary Stuart, who notori-
ously "blew up" her husband, though
indeed he richly deserved it. Unluckily
portraits are of little service, as the hands
too often are fanciful and conventional,
especially after Vandyke
"Almond shaped nails, especially if not
too pink, indicate cheerful, sweet tenn
per" and are also Of high aesthetic value.
"If the nails are bitten" but we refuse
to believe that the nails of the fair are
ever bitten. Everybody would shun a
maiden who bit her thumb at him.
"If you want careful economical
wife, look at her thumb But who
wants an economical wife, one that will
initiate Mary Stuart when she buys an
Elzevir or an engraving? The collector,
at least, and the convivial soul of open
hand will avoid lady who lives by rule
of thumb. An extravagant thumb bends
back very far when the hand is opened,
as all hands should be. do not choose
girl who has a soft, fat hand" with
fingers held close together. These things
indicate selfshness-but it may be sell

The Proper Worlds Fair Caper.

What would America do without her
Ward McAllister, E. NJ, which is master
Of etiquette? Maybe the rest Of the coun-
try could do without him, but not New
York city He is obliged constantly to be
schooling the Four Hundred on their
manners To him and to them the
proper precedence in entering a ball
room is much more important than
forming a presidents cabinet. 'Tis well
The people who turn up their noses at
all their fellow countrymen, particularly
fellow countrymen from the west, have
in Ward McAllister what they most
need-a teacher of manners
Ward McAllister. E. NJ, tells a New
York Herald reporter what society and
the British aristocracy will do about the
Worlds fair The only wonder is that
W McA., E. NJ, permits society to visit
the fair at all, seeing that it is to be
outside of New York city. However,
he has given the British aristocracy and
New York society kind permission to go
to the fair in June, for which heaven
and McAllister be thanked! He regrets
that they will not thus see the fair at
its best. because its exhibits will not all
be in running order probably by that
time. but there is one show still more
important than the Worlds fair, and
that is Newport in July and August.
II have advised my English friends"
says W. McA., E. NJ. Ito comein June
or not later than July" We gather
from the context that these foreign
friends include lords and dukes and mar
quises of various shades, with few roy
alties and princes thrown in. Princess
Eulalie. the aunt of the poor little king
of Spain, will be Mr.. McAllister's espe-
cial charge while she is here. He will
stand between her and the rude gaze of
the American common herd, so that she
shall not be not too much shocked by
the contrast between a republic and a
monarchy
In September New York society
will shun the Worlds fair like ratsbane,
because September is the month when
the common people of Ward McAllis-
ter's country will visit the great dis
play of human industry. Again It's
well, because if the Four Hundred Wis
tied the fair at the same time the COM
mon people did there would be no way
at all of distinguishing society from the
common herd. A country schoolmis-
tress might be mistaken for Fifth ave
nue. belle. Horrid thought

The board of directors of the New
Whatcom public library will shortly
forward another good-sized order for
books with which to increase the al
ready large number now on the shelves
of that institution. The lady menu
bers of the board, who are doing the
largest part of the work, deserve COM
mendation for their untiring zeal and
loyal devotion to the interests of this
valuable enterprise. 1t speaks well for
the future of the Bay cities that the
facilities for the intellectual develop
ment of their people are multiplying
with such gratifying rapidity.
With a perfect and well equipped
school system, with newspapers thor
oughly wide awake and abreast of the
times, with growing libraries at each
end Of the Bay, and Chautauqua cir,
cles, reading societies, Shakespeare
clubs and other educational organiza-
tions in abundance, beside the glowing
prospect of an advanced university to
be erected shortly, and the possibility
of normal school, Bellingham bay
will not be far behind the intellectual
centers of the country.

An Intelligent Cow.

Colonel [. d. Mcdonald of Columbia
City, Ind, tells a good story of ami
NAL intelligence. He had bought a lot
of stock, including COW and her calf,
which he was driving home. The cows
affection for its offspring had attracted
attention more than once.
At length river was reached. which,
beng unbridged, the cattle had to ford.
The water was deep. and as the cattle
plunged in they were swept off their
feet, the mother COW among the rest.
The calf meantime was taken by the
current several rods down stream, and
when the poor cow regained her footing
and discerned this her distress was ap-
parent. Instead Of making for the oppo-
site shore, as the other animals had
done, she swan down the stream below
her calf. The current drove the young
creature against the protecting bulk Of
the mother.
The COW, satisfied at this state of af-
fairs, started for the shore, the calf swim
ming alongside of her. About midway
Of the river the swift current, striking
the calf in the fore quarter, swept it be-
hind the COW, and again it foundered
down stream.
Once more the mother went to the
rescue. She had to swim around to the
other side of the calf, and, this done, she
had to steady herself in the stream until
the calf was against her side. Her eff
forts were this time successful, and COW
and calf swan safely to shore.-Indian-
spolis News.

One Of the most interesting processes
now going on is the conversion of water
into light, heat and power. The great
obstacle in the way of cheap electric
lights and power has been the cost Of
coal and other fuel But all over the
northwest water is being utilized for
running electric plants. An electrician
who has recently been looking over Mon
tana and the northwestern states finds
that everywhere water powers are being
taken up and utilized to create electric
ity. So cheap is this process that the
use of coal is out of the question. No
light and power can be created so cheap
ly as that where mountain stream has
been made to do the work. What was
an experiment short time ago has now
become one of the most remarkable IN
dustrial developments of the time.-Ex-

A professor of rhetoric in certain
college used to give always this advice to
his departing senior class: Never write
in an album and never go security for
anybody" The whole country is sym
pathizing with the brilliant but hapless
governor of Ohio for not taking the last
part of this wise advice. Every dollar
of Governor McKinleys money would
not now be swept away, and not only
his money, but his wifes inheritance
from her father. How could man who
could frame a tariff bill that passed both
houses of congress and became law in
dorse for any man living to the extent Of
800, 900 without inquiring into the mat
ter? The man who has faith in friend
to the point Of risking for him all his
money has just a little too much faith
for this world Besides man who will
ask another to indorse for him is not
that mans friend. He is his worst enc
my. There is only one safe rule about
going security or lending money. Think
first whether you can afford to lose that
amount altogether. II you can, ther
put your hand in your pocket and make
a present Of the sum TO your needy
friend. for that will be what it will
amount to.

Chloride of Ethyl.

A new local anesthetic has been in
occasional use in surgery for the past
year. Previous to that time it was chief
ly used by dentists. The name of the
an@sthetic is chloride of ethyl, which
has peculiar odor, not at all offensive;
on the contrary, pleasant and sweet
taste. 1t will take the place largely Of
chloroform and ether, which require
considerable time to have effect on pa
tient. Moreover, it is much safer. 1t
can be used. for example. in the cutting
of an abscess or any other such slight
operation. 1t issimply matter of spray
ing the affected portion of the body. It's
chief component is alcohol.-New York

The bill relating to the establishment
of additional normal schools i'm the
state Is the occasion Of a long editorial
in the Press-Times against such will
full and unnecessary extravaganza"
This enterprising journal thinks that
one normal school is amply sufficient
for all the purposes of the state, and
even goes to the hazardous stretch of
rebuking the P.-I for its endorsement
of the additional schools, and for which
IL will doubtless have its ears cuffed
At any rate, it is refreshing to notice
that the Press-Times occasionally lets
up on the Telegraph to touch up some
other subject with its caustic With
cisms. Heretofore five out Of every six
of its editorials have been directed
against the Telegraph, and yet that
unprateful journal continues to issue
every morning. Perhaps the micro
scopic eye Of the Press-Times might
find food for reflection in the state uni
versity bill when it next switches of
from its columbiads against the Demo
cratic organ.

Chinese Farmers In America.

A colony of Chinese farmers has been
started on Long Island, near Brooklyn.
The main portion of their crops consists
of mysterious and uncanny vegetable
products that supply the populous Chi
nese settlement in New York city with
whatever corresponds to the beans,
pumpkins and cabbages of their native
land These mysterious vegetables are
eagerly snapped up by Chinese laundry
men and opium joint and restaurant
keepers The pioneer Chinaman farmer
made fortune of $4,000 in three years
and skipped with it to the Flowery King
dom, leaving small army of imitators
to continue the business, which they are
making exceedingly profitable. They
are no credit or addition to the country
They live in miserable board shanties
in the midst of their vegetable gardens
of an acre or two during the spring
and summer In the fall, after the crops
are gathered. they leave the huts and go
to New York to live in idleness and mad
Chinese gayety till spring opens.
They manage, however, to give several
lessons to American truck farmers. One
is that they get at least twice as much
money off a given area of ground as the
best of our gardeners can. They have
a dexterous skill, foresight and genius
for hard work that has never been seen
even among the German gardeners.
They can get in some cases four crops in
a season off the not too generous Long
Island soil. How they do it is mys-
terry. The Chinese capacity for down
right hard work. great exertion and peg
ging away early and late is not equaled
among the people of any other race
