LEASES AND REPAIRS.
Peculiar Rules Laid Gown for the Tenants
of the Astors.

Peculiar Rules Laid Down for the Tenants
of the Astors.
Some of the rules by which the ten
ants of the Astors are bound are curl
Gus. For instance, says the New York
Sun. although they will make almost
any repairs that tenant suggests be-
fore the lease is signed, even though
the repairs may cost more than the
rental, they will not spend cent on
the property during the existence of
the lease. A lady who rented house
in Forty-fifth street from the Astors
was told that she could have any re-
pairs or alterations she wished. but no
chandeliers. She had the house deco
rated from top to bottom, and many
expensive repairs made, and there was
not reInonstrance, but she had to
supply all the chandeliers; at cost of
sixteen hundred dollars, herself. Of
course, they remain her property, and
she can take them away when she
moves.
\ curious incident is related by an
other tenant in Fortyfourth street.
she leased house at rental of two
thousand dollars for one year. When
she came to renew the lease for an
other year she was informed that the
rent would be only eighteen hundred
dollars. She was told by somebody
who pretended to know that the reduc-
ton was due to deterioration in the
value of the property, and that the
AstOrs did not want more than a GER
fci1 i-,tn Ebo4
vas not true, as was learned upon in
quiry at the office Of the Astor estates.
The clerks there said that the reduc-
ton was due simply to the fact that
during the first year they had charged
percentage for repairs and changes
AS none was required the second year
the percentage was taken off. Never
theless, it remains the fact that the re-
duction was voluntary, and to the ten
ant unexpected.

AD English Tradition.

There is a large bowlder lying in a
field near Foremark, England, which
is known throughout Derbyshire as
"Hangman's Stone" The exposed por-
ton of the bowlder rises about six
feet above the surface of the surround
ing field and has narrow ditch or in
dentation running across the top. The
mark, SO tradition says, was made in
this way: A sheep thief in the dead of
night, while leaning against the
bowlder to rest, placed his booty above
on the fat surface of the stone. The
man had the sheep tied with rope
and in it's effort to escape the creature
slipped on the opposite side, and the
rope catching under the thief's chin
choked him to death. The indentation
IN the rock was made by the friction of
the rope while the dying man was en-
gagged in an effort to extricate himself.

GROWTH OF FINGER NAILS.
Results of Some Curious observations
Made by Prominent Manicure.

Made by Prominent Manicure.
prominent manicure who has de-
voted many years to the study OF tne
subject states as the result OF ms Cd
servations that the finger nails OF the
human species grow more rapidly IN
children than in adults, and that the
growth is slowest with the aged.
His observations, however, do not
stop at this, for he finds that both In
childhood and age they grow faster IN
summer than in winter. In one IN
stance a nail that required one hum
dred and thirty-two days to renew in
winter renewed in summer IN exactly
one hundred and sixteen days. During
both seasons the patient upon whom
this experiment was made enJoyed
normal health.
The method of testing the growth
was in each instance the same. The
nail was pared close and slightly
notched at the quick. Both the right
and the left hand were studied, with
the result that he affirms that the
growth of finger nails is more rapid on
the right hand than on the left. AS
the person was right-handed it is pre-
sumed that the contrary is true of left
handed individuals.
One popularity of the growth of fin
ger nails in addition to those stated is
that the period of renewal differs pro-
portionately with the length of the
fingers. Thus it is more rapid in the
middle fingers than any others. In the
fingers on either side the middle finger
the period of renewal is about equal
and slower 1t is even more slow in
the little finger, and slowest of all in
the thumb.
Comparing the same fingers of the
different hands, the person who dis
covered these curious phases of growth
states that on an average the nails on
the left fingers of right-handed per-
son require eighty-two days longer to
renew than those of the left hand. In
one particular the growth of the nails
and hair and beard are governed by
the same law, that of growing more
RAPIDLY in summer than in winter.

The Nests OF Aliiratnrs.

Alligators' nests resemble haycoclxs
more than anything else to which they
can be compared. They average about
tour feet in height and about five feet
IN diameter, and are constructed of
grasses and heritage. First, the mother
gator deposits one layer of eggs on a
mortar-like floor, and having covered
thls with stratum O. mud and herb
age about eight inches thick, lays an.
other set of eggs upon that, and so on
to the top, there being commonly from
one to two hundred eggs in a nest.
With their tails the parents then beat
down the tall grass and weeds to pre-
vent the approach of unseen enemies.
The female watches her eggs until
they are Matched by the heat of the
sun, and then takes her brood under
her own care, defending them and pro-
.viding for their subsistence

Animal Food in Japan.

There are still many people, especial
ly in the interior parts of Japan, who
have never tasted any animal food in
their lives and look upon it with hor-
ror, while great many conservative
women do not touch it even at the
present day. Moreover, animal food is
expensive in Japan and is therefore
considered luxury which is quite out
of the reach of the poor. During the
whole year of 1889 only 81, II bulls and
cows were killed in Japan to supply
meat for 4o,ooO,Ooo people, and it is
worthy of note that there were 1,021,-
SOB bulls and cows in the country dur
ing that year, while the number of the
slaughtered probably included many
animals which were not slain for sup
plying human food.

Falconry may yet be restored, as it
seems, though not as sport. but as
part of the terribly serious business,
war. A Russian officer, Capt. Smoiloff,
has been tanning falcons to serve as
dispatch carriers. The falcon has sew
eral- advantages over the carrier
pigeon, says the Westminster Ca
zette. Not only is he more warlil1e
bird than the meek cousin of the dove,
but he is swifter in fight and capable
of great endurance. The greatest
swiftness ever known to be attained
by the carrier pigeon is fifteen Ger
mani miles an hour, but this is t.. :
rate of the ordinary fight OF the fall
con. D'Aubusson, in his work On The
Falconry of the Middle Ages. tells
several anecdotes of the extraorlilary
powers of the falcon and length and
swiftness of fight For instance. a
falcon which was sent from the Canary
islands to the duke of Lerma in Spain
made the return fight from Andalus;a
to Teneriffe in sixteen hours, which
was at the express speed of sixteen
(German) miles to the hour. A Ger
man mile is not far short of five f.. =
lish miles, so that the speed of this
falcon must have been at the rate a
about seventy-fve miles an hour. a
further advantage of the falcon over
the pigeon is the greater weight which
it can carry. 1t is well known that a
very slight burden is an oppression 70

in order to reduce the weight for the
feeble little carrier. Capt. Smoiloff
says he has found that falcon can
carry weight of four Russian pounds,

or swiftness in flying. Besides, the
carrier pigeon may fall a prey to the
falcon, while there is small danger OF

We have considerable surplus of
wheat, cotton and corn to export. AS to
corn, owing to our peculiar soil and
climate, we have, to limited extent, a
sort OF natural monopoly, and therefore
are not wholly at the mercy of the foreign
market as to pricei but iii respect to
wheat and cotton the export price of our
surplus fixes and controls in the main the
price of the home market. As to products
consumed entirely In our home market
we have no competition of any conse-
quence, except with ourselves, but rs to
wheat we are In Compel itipn with Russia,
Austro-H Hungary, india and the Argentine

wheat and flour, our products of oats,
barley, fax, hay, potatoes, cattle, hogs,
sheep, cheese. butter and eggs Is mainly
consumed at home and the price is fixed
by the home market. This price is much
better and more favorable to the farmer
than the price of wheat, which is fixed by
the export price of our surplus.
The total value of our wheat and flour

value of all other cereals and breadstuffs;
of all beef, pork, mutton and dairy prod
