Finger Nail Fancies.

In early times it was considered that
bad luck would certainly attend any
person who neglected to either burn or
bury the parings of his finger nails.
Among the Hebrews it was the custom
to pare the nails ON a Friday, and the
operation had to be conducted in a GER
tain manner. The little finger on the
left hand had first to be operated on,
then the middle finger, followed by the
fourth finger, thumb and forefnger.
The nail of the middle finger of the
right hand had next to be cut. Then
came the thumb, then the forefnger
and afterward the fourth and little fin
ger.
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 SCOT.
and after being thus prepared were held
so that the sunlight fell full upon them.
On the horny, transparent substance
were supposed to appear signs and char
acters from which the future could be

Value of Book Titles.

1t is said that Samuel Richardson on
his deathbed told his wife that she
would find among his effects some ex-
ceilent titles which only needed to have
books written for them to give her an
income. There is no question of the
great Importance of a we'll selected
name for book as for person. Some
very wretched books have achieved at
least profitable sale by means of a
taking title, and on the other hand.
many good book has been handicapped
by an awkward or an insignificant title.
Yet II would be unfortunate if authors
should come to regard the title as hay-
ing any considerable weight besides the
contents of the book.
Perhaps many people do not know
that one can copyright title without
having written a page of the book. We
know man who never wrote book in
his life, and probably never will, who
has copyrighted score of titles for
novels which he would like to write.
Some day he will hold an auction and
sell off his titles. Kansas City Journal.
Quaint DIR. COLES.
DIR. COLES, an eminent surgeon OF
Dublin, who died in 1913. was remark
able for his plain dealing with him
self. In his fee book he had many
such candid entries as the following:
'FOr giving Intellectual advice for
deafness, l guinea"
For attempting to draw out the
stump of tooth, l guinea"
"FOr telling him that he was no
more i'll than l was, guinea"
"FOr nothing that know of, except
that he probably thought he did not
pay me enough last time, l guinea"
