They Are an Aid In Diagnosis of Diseases
and Traits.
IL is said that the moon at the base OF
the nail is simply an indication Of good
health and excellent circulation, while
the white spots are always the accom-
paniment of AN impaired nervous sys-
tenn. The common idea that an external
application of vaseline Will cure the
white spots is erroneous, and those af
hicted with the little ''story tellers"
would far better turn their attention to
securing perfect physical health. in the
assurance that the spots Will disappear
with improved circulation.
1t is not possible TO create moons at
the base of the nails. Frequently the
moon is there, but through negligence
it is covered by skin, which, without
attention., will grow upward over the
base of the nail
1t is not generally understood that
the shape and appearance of the finger
nails are carefully considered and form
an important factor in the diagnosis of
disease. Long nails arc said TO indicate
physical weakness and tendency to lung
trouble, and this tendency is aggravated
where the nails are corrugated, aud vet
more aggravated il they curve from the
top bacl; to the finger and across. Where
the nails are long and blush they indi-
cate bad circulation. This same type Of
nail, but shorter, denotes tendency to
throat affection, bronchitis and the like.
Short, small nails indicate heart dis
ease. Where they are short, flat and
sunken you may look fer nervous dis
orders. The short nailed woman will
criticise her friends and her fees, but
she viii criticise herself with tho same
severity. She is apt to be sarcastic and
sometimes so quick at reparteo that she
appears almost brutal The best dra-
matte and literary critics possess this
type Of nail. Exchange

Thrown Int, the Fire For Failing to RE-
spond TO Prayer.
a missionary Of the Basel society in
India gives an account Of q lad IS years
of age named Velayuthan, whose ia
ther sought TO take him away from the
Christians, whom he had joined. The lad
stood firmly, but efforts to shake his
resolution were continued.
In the middle of Jnly his mother
came and told her son, with many tears,
that his father was dangerously III and
wished TO see him once more before his
death. This message melted the heart
Of Velayuthan, and, wishing to see his
father, he was permitted to accompany
us on our tour How glad he was in the
anticipation of seeing his parents and
brothers and sisters again his face clear
ly indicated. We heard no sound as we
entered the compound, the door of the
house was ajar, and Velayuthan's fa-
ther, who was lying on mat behind
the door, was heard groaning as if with
great pain. His son rushed into the
house, stopped down over his father and
asked him how he was.
All Of a sudden the seemingly dying
man jumped up, clasped his son in his
arms and dragged him into an inner
room, trying to fasten the door, raising
at the same time such howl that felt
quite stunned. When the missionary
tried to prevent the door being shut, the
father, brandishing his long knife,
wounded his arm and forced him to let
the door go The bowling ceased for a
few seconds, and voice was heard
screaming in piercing accents: "Don t
Kill him Don't kill him. We shud-
dered and feared the worst But a few
moments afterward there was q shout,
He is gonel' and the lad was seen run
ming like a chased deer across the com
pound, followed by his enemies, his
mortal fright giving him strength to
leap the hedges. In few minutes he
had reached the missionary's house and
was safe.
We learned aftorward that Velayu-
than's father, when he had his son in his
/ power inside the room, had uttered some
I threats which made the lad fear that lie
was about to be killed Filled with ap-
| prehension, he inwardly called upon the
lord for help, when suddenly he saw an
/ opening below the wall plate and escap-
ed thereby. The father, who now feared
we should bring an action against him,
made two deep gashes across his chest
with his knife, ran TO the magistrate
and accused MS of having broken into
his house and wounded him.
But the magistrate asked some trust
worthy witnesses and rejected tho COM
plant Next day the mother and brother
Of Nelayuthan came to ask our pardon
and told us that his father, after his re-
turn from the magistrate, had kindled q
