4 teacher in Bangor school had Just finished explaining the use of the ditto marks. when she noticed one of her young searchers for knowledge searching for it in half-dime novel. So she made him stay after school and told him to write the sentence Always pay attention" 100 times. In a very short time he gave glad shout: I've did it!' What kind of language is that?" she remarked se. verely; and you surely haven't had time to do it. Well, done it, then anyhow, here it is" He held up his paper. The sentence was written once at the top, and the remaining surface was covered with dots. But you haven't done it!'' she exclaimed. He gazed at her scornfully.

oE Jnngfrau Railroad Dies with Ills
 Great Work Unfinished.
 Zurich fSWitzerland) correspondence Chicago Record: 4 man unique fn Switzerland, adolf Guyer-ZelIer, has just been buried in the little manu- featuring village of Bauma, which was very nearly owned by the deceased hnancier and promoter. A special train left this city this afternoon, bearing to Bauma, besides the remains of M S&yer-zeller, a number of members of che Swiss Federal Council, the entire Greek Society of Zurich, deputation of city officials and about 800 friends and business associates. M. Guyer was the only railway king Switzerland possessed, and his death has caused the expected furry in railway stocks here. It was due to his marvellous Zeal that most of the important rail ways of Switzerland were built. His greatest work was the JungfraG rail- way, project which has been pro. nounced impossible by modern engin- eers. When unable t0 find financial backing he decided to build it with his own money, and himself had defrayed all expenses thus far. A large part of the road is finished, but M. Guyet did not expect to complete it before 1903. Now the question is, who will finish his life work? Aside from his railways, he was greatly interested in manufacturing concerns. His deatl will be felt greatly by the Greek na. 'tion, whose consul general he was for the German and Italian cantons of Switzerland.

Some of the Bad Luck Signs of Early
 

Some of the Bad Luck Signs of Early
 Times.
 h early times 1t was considered that bad luck would certainly attend any person who neglected to either burn CT bury the pafings of his finger nails, says Woman's Life. Among the He brews it was the custom to pare the nails on Friday. and the operation had to be conducted in certain man ner The little finger on the left hand had first to be operated on, then the neddle finger. followed by the fourth finger, thumb and forefnger. The nah of the middle finger of the right hand had next 10 be cut; then came the thumb then the forefnger and after ward the fourth and little finger. When fortune telling was more in vogue than at present the shape and appearance of the finger nails were looked on as having reference to ones destiny. The nails were first rubbed over with mixture of wax and soot, and, after be- ing thus prepared, were held so that the sunlight fell upon them. On the horny, transparent substance were supposed to appear signs and charac- ters from which the future could be interpreted. Persons, too, with cer- tain descriptions of nails were suppos- ed to possess certain characteristics. For instance, man with red and spot led nails was of a fiery, hot-tempered disposition, while pale. lead colored -aiails denoted 8 melancholy tempera- ment. Ambitious and quarre1some people were distinguished by narrow nails, while lovers of knowledge and liberal sentiment had round shaped nails. Coneeited. obstinate and mar TOW minded persons were possessed of small nails; lazy, indolent individuals of fieshy nails, and those of a gentle, timid nature Of broad mans. Those persons whose nails grow into the flesh at the sides are generally IuxuriousIy Inclined while those with very pale nails are subject to both bodily and mental suffering.
