parting covered the tops of the ears, and the locks were drawn together in a knot behind and held with a jeweled ornament. Elaborate arrangements of the hair at the back are not in harmony with the rest, and usually the disposal is in as simple a manner as is possible and effective.
 Fashions in manicuring change just as they do in the doing of the hair. It is no longer deemed correct by exquisites to wear long or very highly polished nails. The nail should be cut accord ing to the shape of the end of the finger, extending only far enough beyond to serve as protection. Above all, the quick of the nail must not be dug down by cleaning with sharp instruments. Many pretty nail is spoiled in that way. The line of pink in the nail should follow the shape of the finger ends and the white of the nail being only a little beyond. The moons should show clearly, and the nail should be free from skin where it joins the finger. It must be just bright enough to look pretty, but should not shine. Coloring is no longer used. Rubbing the nail and the proper care of the fingers are SUD- posed to insure the proper color to the finger tips FLORETTE.

Some interesting questions have been raised by the Alumni Association of the Alleghany General Hospital, which is the name of an organization of trained nurses in Pittsburgh. At a recent meet ing it was voted that the uniform price for nursing should be $20 a week, and lating the rule should be suspended for the first offence, and expelled for the second. To the credit of some of the nurses it should be said that the action was taken against much opposition. A those present at the meeting, protested that their right to fix the price for their services should not conflict with their right to membership in the association. It was also argued that nursing the sick ss 2. humane work, often undertaken by nurses when the family aided is not able to pay S1O a week, and sometimes even done gratuitously for the very poor.

The Atchison Globe declares that John J. Inga1ls is almost as bad as 8 Pennsylvania Dutchman in believing in signs and omens. The Pennsylvania Dutch newer cut their hair except on the Friday in the dark of the moon, and they plant potatoes by the same sign, reserving Good Friday for the planting of onions. They always consult the figure of the naked man in the front of the almanac when a baby is born, and pretend to know what kind of baby it Is going to be by the sign fixed to the date of it's appearance. The Globe says Ingalls believes in all these things and lots more. Nevertheless, adds the Kansas City Journal, I've are impress ed with the belief that in politics the Atchison man does not consult the naked figure in the almanac. Instead he carefully scans the horizon to see if he can see the tall angular form of a woman who answers to the name of Mary Ellen"

The extent of the foreign trade in re- frigerated beef Is indicated by the fact that Great Britain imported in 1898 this meat to the value of 29OOO, 900. Proba- bly, 1t all came from America and Aus tralia. The trade has amounted to more than $25 1000, ,00O yearly since 1896. The dependence of Great Britain on other nations for her food supply is shown by the great total of s314, ,4s6, ,25O as the val uation for food imports of all kinds in 1898.

And his little rifle ready fer ter PUNK yer

And skip away as llyelyas a Splinter down

Ter come round when they plant yer, lest

And If he can find tree-top and sit I'M

And pick off the chaps that's wounded

outlast powder and shot by several
weeks. Army rations can be husband

be constantly used if the heavy artil-

to. The minute the English return
fire, the Beers will begin their
