Beautiful Finger Nails.

The ideal nails are those of an ova'
shape, with the half at thu
base fully developed. Except for this
'half-moon," which should be an al,
most lilac tint. the nails should be pink
in color. They should be trimmed tC
correspond with the form of the tips OF
the fingers, neither too pointed nor toe
square.
The white edge of the nail should be
only long enough to show a white edge
beyond the pink portion. The surface
of the nails should be smooth. and. to a
certain extent polished. The skin
which borders the nail all round is
called the scarf-skin. and unless care
fully watched is apt to push forward
with the nail, which it gradually half
covers.
Twice week should be sufficient for
thorough manicuring of the finger-tips.
II the nails are frequently brushed
when the hands are washed The
scarf-skin should at the same time be
gently pushed back with the towel.

Train Your Ewes.

Ihere is no way of teaching the
knowledge of nature and those powers
OF observation which will enable any
one to find rare flowers. Expert bot
anists know where to look for such
flowers. and their powers of seeing are
so trained that they often find the
rarest blossoms in barren-looking
places where the ordinary searcher for
such treasures would see nothing.
There are few localities where an ex-
pert ornithologist cannot study birds

Chief Ranger Lyddy's Resolutions Pass
-Foresters' Wheel Club
Meriden, May 1.-THE second day
session of the convention of the Grand
court, F. Of A., opened this morning.
Most of the session was devoted to by
law amendments, and the resolutions
of Grand Chief Ranger Lyddy were all
favorably voted upon II was voted
that the thirteen delegates from Con-
nectcut to the supreme convention to
be held In Detroit in August be instruct
| ed to vote that one delegate to every
| 5000 members from each state be elect
| ed The present rate Is one delegate to
every one thousand members. The COM
mittee on mileage and per diem recon-
mended that hereafter fare of delegates
to the Grand court convention be paid
from the Grand court treasury. At
present the different courts pay the ex-
penses OF delegates, but by this change
the car fare will come out of the Grand
court.
A delegation of three members from
the Bridgeport Foresters Wheel club
appeared and asked permission to or
ganize. This was granted and the CLUB
will shortly be instituted, 1t is the
idea to form as many bicycle clubs from
the Foresters as possible throughout the
state and in this way 1t is said many
new members for the order can be gain
ed from other cycling clubs,
1t was voted to hold the next conven-
ton in Bridgeport.
w. f. Delaney of New Britain was
elected grand chief ranger, he was the
only candidate presented.
Two names were proposed for sub
chief ranger-George w. Randall. post
master of Rockville. and Stephen Char
tiers of Ansonia. the present grand re-
cording secretary The vote resulted:
Randall 147, Charters As.
Other officers elected were:
Treasurer-David Dickinson of Meri-

DERBY AVENUE BRIDGE.

Mason Work About Completed--Work
on Superstpucture to BE Rushed.
The mason work on the Derby avenue
bridge over West river will probably be
completed by Saturday night, if not
positively by Tuesday night.
The Berlin Iron Bridge company has
the contract for the superstructure and
will proceed with the frame work as
soon as the sub-structure is done. 1t
is rather feared, however, that there
may be some delay in getting this. The
demand for iron work is somewhat ire
mendous at this time and all sorts of
work is suffering from delay.
If there is no delay in getting the iron
work pedestrians can cross the bridge
inside of two weeks. 1t will not be
paved by that time but the timbers will
be across so that those who wish to do
so can go across for the ball games.
The Yale Athletic association is very
anxious that the bridge should be done
for the game on June 3, which will be
largely attended. 1t is possible that it
will be but at all events it will be in
readiness for pedestrians at least for
the Harvard game on June %.
The little temporary foot bridge across
the river, which is but five or six feet
wide, would never serve the public for
one Of the big games.
It is expected that the iron turn table
for the Chapel street drawbrldge will
be shipped on Saturday and if it is the
contractors will at once proceed with
Its erection on the center pier.
