Ideas About Finxe, N.i...

The Japanese have some, curious
ideas about their finger. nails. One of
them is to the effect that they must
not be cut before starting on journey
lest disgrace befall the person before
he reaches his destination; Neither
should they be cut off at night lest cats
claws should grow out. To throw nail
parings into the fire is to invite some
great calamity. If. while trimming the
nails, piece should fall in the fire the
person will soon die.-New York Her
