DIR. w. Il. Gassaway, acolored physI-
stefan, was arrested yesterday at the
instance of the state medical board,
on the charge OF practicing medicine
without a license. The case, IL is said;
is to be an amicable proceeding 10
test the validity of the law of 1895,
which provides that a physician
graduating from any OF certain col
leges OF medicine, who may file an
affidavit in such effect may practice
without a license. The point
involved is whether or not
not physicians admitted prior TO the
law of 1895 have a legal standing.
The contention of the state board is
that they have not, and that the law
is invalid. In the event Of decision
either way, the case will be taken to
the supreme court.

in the matter, We were discussing the
theory of emancipation, and he agreed
with me on almost oil of the points at

felt that he absorbed the idea fully,
when he said;
Yes, II is true. and l believe In II,
and think l have practiced II some

all thu time. and annoy me terribly,

truism that had never occurred 10 him

FINGER NAIL FANcIEs.
A Few OF the MANY OId-Ttme Cas-
tonne and supsPstitions Con-
ssrninH Them.

In early times IL was considered that
bad luck would certainly attend any
person who neglected 10 either burn
or bury the parings Of his finger nails.
Among the Hebrews II was the custom
TO pare the nails on Friday. and the
operation had TO be conducted in a
certain manner. The little finger ON
the left hand had TO be operated on.
then the middle finger. followed by the
fourth finger and forefnger. The nail
Of the middle finger Of the right hand
had next to be cut: then the thumb.
then the forehnger and afterward 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 10 ones
destiny. The nails were first rubbed
over with a mixture Of wax and SCOT,
and after being thus prepared were
held so that the sunlight fell full upon
them. On the horny, transparent sub
stance were supposed to appear signs
and characters from which the future
could he interpreted.
Persons, too, with certain descrip-
tons of nails were supposed 10 possess
certain characteristics. For instance,
o man with red and spotted nails was
Of . fiery. hot tempered disposition.
while pale. lead col0red nails denoted
. melancholy temperament.
Ambitious and quarrelsome people
were distinguished by narrow nails.
while lovers Of knowledge and liberal
sentiment had round shaped nails.
Conceited, obstinate and narrow
minded peraons were Possessed Of
small nails; lazy, incident individuals
Of feshy nails. and those Of gentle,
timid natures Of broad nails.
Those persons whose nails grow into
the ilesh at the s5des are generally lax.
urionsIy Inclined, while those with very
pale nails are subject TO both bodily
and mental suffering chicago Post.
