the habit is filthy, degrading and just
a degree or so above morphinomania.
Medical men all over the world, have
lately taken UP this study of the nails
with great ir terest. During my visit
in San Francisco. two of the leading
physicians consulted me as to the
study of the nails. their shapes, forms,
characteristics. etc. / hold some very
fatterng testimonies from them as to
the practical value they gained from
the study of this branch of chirogno-
my. Scientists of recognized capacity
have often said that the nails are
nothing but the electric fluid within
us, hardened by exposure to the air,
thus becoming a kind of Intermediary
substance between the fluid mentioned
above and the human skin and flesh.
BalZaC wrote in Louis Lambert:
when one thinks that the line sep
arating our flesh from the growing
nail contains the unexplained and in
visible mystery cf the incessant trans
formation of CIR fluid into horn, one
must admit that nothing is impossi-

Nails l and if of moderate length,

tendency to throat trouble, such as in

Nails 3, 4, 5, if triangular, thin, fiat
and sunken into the flesh show nerve
diseases and a tendency for paralysis.

OF course, in describing the size and

Special Changes.

There are two special changes which,
/ am clear, the same principles require.
One is that the artillery branch of the
service should have head. The pres
ent guns, carriages, projectiles, eX-
plosives, and all the complicated and
delicate machinery which belong with
them are made and delivered over to
the artillery branch, and there is no
one to represent or speak for the men
who are to work with the tools thus
furnished. There are seven colonies of
artillery, and ii is not the business of
any one of them more than another to
speak for his branch of the service.
The valuable results of experience in
the use of the ordnance machinery are
not utilized because ii is not the busi-
ness of anyone in particular to insist
upon it, Little complaints against the
ordnance or engineers, which could
easily be set right If II were somebody's
business to attend to it, remain as
cause of irritation. The use of modern
ordnance is a highly specialized and
scientific business, and there ought to
be an expert charged with the duty
and the responsibility of seeing that
the officers and men of the corps under
stand their business and are properly
trained in II. This officer should be. a
member Of the war college, and might
well be on the stan Of the major gem
eral commanding. He should not be
the head OF an additional bureau.
The other changes referred TO is the
Increase OF the number of inspectors

army may be adequately inspected
Among these should be a sufficient

to prevent the separation is by sys-
tematic provision to enable every Off
Ger to show what there is in him, and
to preserve a full record of what he
does, by providing a competent and
disinterested body to pass judgment on
the record, and by law making the
judgment thus reached on this basis
the imperative and sole ground Of Sc
lection for promotion.
These provisions will go far toward
accomplishing results which are pro-
vided for in the organization of every
considerable army in the world, and
which under our organization are not
the business of anybody in particular,
and for the most part can not he ac-
complished by anyone whomsoever;
and if congress will then make the ap-
propriationS necessary for periodical
mobilization and manoeuvres the four
requisites of preparation of war above
stated can be substantially attained.
The only element in these recommen-
dations which does not result necessar-
lily from a statement of the require
ments is the limitation on the period
of STAFF duty and the periodical return
to the line. l think this will be bene-
ficial to the staff, and will do away with
the feeling quite prevalent in the line
that the staff Is a privileged class, di-
NOICtu It's Olu dSSOCldttSs anu a
tendency toward unfriendly criticism
which seems to me TO be prejudicial to
good discipline and effective service.
Another function which is now per-
formed to a very slight degree, and
which is of very great Importance,
should be performed by the proposed
war college acting in corporation with
the existing naval war college, that is,
the union of the army and the navy in
the collection and utilization Of infor-
nation, studying and formulating plans
for defense and attack, and the testing
and selection of material of war. Com
munication, conference, and Interchange
of instructors between the two institu-
tions could not fail to be of great value
to both services, and to make easier
and more certain that perfect cooper
alton which is so essential both in
forming and executing the plans which
involve the operations of both forces.
