About Finger Nails.

The Japanese have some curious ideas
about their finger nails. One OF them
is to the effect that they must not be
cut before rtarting on journey. lest
disgrace befall the person before he
reaches his destination. Neither should
they be cut at light, lest cats claws
should grow out. To throw nail pairines
into the fire is to invite some great cal
amity. If whils trimming the nails a
piece should fall in the fire. ths person

THE CENTURY MAG AZINE FOR THE
COMING YEAR.

The Century Magazine. with its NoYem
Der number, enters upon its twenty-sev
enth year. During its long existence, BY
reason of its many notable successes, il
has won an assured and commanding 20
stion. During the coming year The Cen
tury will maintain its exceptional position
as magazine of entertainment and as &
leader in art and thought.
Its pictorial features will be notable
and it will command the services of the
| foremost artists, illustrators and engrav
ers of this country and of Europe.
Nothing like complete announcement
of its literary features can be attempted
now. DIR. Weir Mitchell, whose novel o.
the American Revolution" Hugh Wynne,'
is the great success of the year, has writ
ten new story for the present volume
1t bears the piquant title: THE Adven
lures of Francois: Founding, Adventurer
Juggler and Fencing Master during the
French Revolution" The tale is full o
romance and adventure. Mrs. Burton
Harrison contributes new novel of New
York life, called "Good Americans" II

tendencies are brightly mirrored and de
scribed.
There will be a group of clever stories
about horses and people who like horses
under the general title of "Gallops." "a
Woman'S "reminiscences of the French
Intervention in Mexico" will be given In

NOTES AND OPINIONS.

The Baldwin locomotive works, Phila-
delphia, have just received an order for
fifty-six locomotives.
One does not need to allow for the nat
ural reaction to show that silver had little
to do with Tuesdays result. But if we do
allow for the reaction, strong case is
made only the stronger. We do not see
that any friend of sound money has the
least reason to be discouraged by the re-
suit of Tuesdays elections. The people
are still opposed to the rs to folly. New
York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,, New
Jersey, Maryland, Ohio and Iowa are as
safe for sound money as they ever were.
The situation has probably improved in
Kansas and South Dakota, and it is no
worse in Nebraska. Even in Kentucky it
is still possible, under proper manage
ment, to make good fight with fair
chance for success. -Indianabolis Meas.
If any one is disposed to take a de-
spondent view of the financial situation we
recommend him to study the gold Stats
tics of the United States. Assuredly he
will find on that point very solid ground
for recovery of courage. The stock of
gold in this country is distinctly the lar
gest ever recorded here. 1t made, as may
be remembered. new high-water mark

to the Government, and $576, oSS, o62 is in
circulation outside of the Treasury, either
in the form of gold coin or as gold certif-
icates, against which coin is held by the
Treasury.
Our readers will get better idea of this
vast accumulation by comparing it with
the amount of gold in the country on

tary Sherman resumed gold payments

COMMENTING upon the editorial in THE
News of last week. the Camden Courier
says: "All of which may be very true, but
the question remains, Were there no
bosses enlisted on behalf of the other
gentlemen who aspire to the nomination ?
So far as we have been able to learn Mr.
Borton's fight for the nomination was
made fairly and upon legitimate lines At
least, no charge to the contrary seems to
have been given publicity" In reply to
the query we answer emphatica1ly no.
With regard to the balance of the article
we will remark that there are some things
that even Camden editors do not know.
And while on this subject it will do no
harm to remark that Camden papers have
had more to say on this election in Bur-
hngton county than they have in any
other contest, combining themselves en-
tirely to the Senatorial situation. Here is
specimen of latter election talk" by the
Camden telegram 1.-THE dirty work by
which he was defeated and those who en-
gagged in it will long be remembered in
Burlington county, especially if the de-
spicable traitors should ever seek further
political favors from the Republican
party" This sounds like the remarks of
played out Mount Holly politician who
announced that he had the swallow
tails' marked. His future efforts in this
county will be about as effective as those
OF the Camden papers. IF those journals
will Just attend to affairs within their own
province, purifying their own city, for in
stance-it will be just as we'll. The re-
suit in this county this fall proves con-
clusively that our people are we'll able to
conduct their own affairs without any ad-
vice from outside parties and in the face
of bossism within our own midst.

been mentioned, Harry Conor, the fun

there is Sadie MarInot, the Frenchy hero
inc of comic opera comedy, and in fact oil
almost every kind of theatrical output.
Harry Gilfoil has made a hit as an old

THE NEW VOLUME OF ST. NICHOLAS


81. Nicholas. conducted by Mrs. Mary
Mapes Dodge, enters upon the twenty
fifth year of its successful career as the
leading magazine for boys and girls with
Its November issue. A remarkably varied
and attractive list of features has been Sc
cured for the coming year, including con-
tributlons by several of the foremost writ
ers of the day.
Rudyard Kipling's first jungle Stories

year he will contribute a new series of
stories to the magazine, called "The Just
So Stories" written in new vein-fantas-
tic stories. Some stories, Mr.. KIpling says,
are meant to be read quietly, and some
are meant to be told aloud. Some are for
rainy mornings and some are for long, hot
afternoons, and some are for bedtime.
These stories of Mr.. Kipllng's are meant
to be told 'just-so," and one must not al
ter one single little word. They are stories
about animals, queer, very queer animals.
Mr.. Frank r. Stockton will contribute
"The Buccaneers of our coast" This is a
series of narrative sketches in which will
be treated the origin, characteristics, ad-
ventures, and exploits ofthat wild body Of
sea-rovers, calling themselves "The Breth.
rem of the coast" who during the greater
part of the seventeenth century ravaged
and almost ruled the waters and shores Of
the West Indies.
Mr. ]. T. Trowbridge has written SER
ial, 1.-TWO Biddicut Boys. and Their Ad-
ventures With Wonderful Trick Dog"
This is marked by his best qualities and
is full of effective interest. A lively story
of track and field is 1.-THE Lakerim Ath-
letic club" by Rupert Hughes, which will
tell of year of sports carried out by q
party of "real boys" Mr.. w. 0. StoJdard
writes a stirring romance of chiyalry
with the Black Prince" telling of the
fortunes and adventures of an English lad
who fights at the battle of Crecy. A fairy
tale of science Through the Earth" by
Clement Fezandie, is serial of the Jules
Verne order. 1t tells of the daring con
ception of scientist of the next century
who by the enormously increased power
of electricity succeeds in boring hole
through the earth and sending boy in 9

There will be the usual number of ar
ticles of instruction and entertainment
