Finger Nails and GentiIity.

Ia China long finger nails are a mark
of gentility. They are an indication
that their possessor Is man Of leisure.
When they are excessively long, ap-
preaching the dignity Of talons, as they
sometimes do, they indicate that the
gentleman-Or lady-attached 10 them
has passed the mere gent!lty line, and
has become a full.fedged arlstOcrat. In
AMMAN, where the finger-nail habit has
persisted for hundreds and perhaps
thousands OF years, these signs.manual
OF extreme gentlllty sometimes attain
by careful cultivation the length of six
or eight inches, and Instances are on
record where a length OF sixteen and
even eighteen inches has been attained
This custom prevails generally
throughout what Is known as Indo-
China, which includes Slam. Burmah,
Cambod!a, Laos, and the Shan states,
etc. II Is also common throughout the
Chinese Empire. more especially in the
southern provinces.

FORTUNE IN A TRUCK FARM.
one Man Near Philadelphia who Has
Accumulated Half "a million
Dollars.

There are over coo acres Of Philadel-
phia land under cultivation south OF
Porter street. In the district known as
the Neck. and there is now living in
Germantown a man who has amasscd
a fortune Of S50O.OOO in raising early
vegetables lie that locality. says the
Philadelphia Record. His two sons are
stin engaged in truck farming. al.
though they have not the same chances
a. their father had during the civil
war. when spinach sold for eight dol.
lars a barrel and onions brought SIP a
barrel. The father. with his half mil
lion. has removed 20 "a handsome coun-
Try seat near Germantown. where he
lives iu Opulence.
He was an orphan and az the age Of
q. having been bound 10 a trucker. he
went with another man TO work =
farm on shares. In two years he was
able 10 take a farm Of his own and sic
cess crowned his efforts. In those days
the farmer took his own produce "a
market and sold IL direct TO the con
sumner without the aid OF the commits
sion merchant. Then. too. there was
no competition from the south in The
matter OF early vegetables. The labor
OF boys could be had FOR two or three
dollars a week. But al this is now
changed. On Porter street between
Thirteenth and Sixteenth there are two
large public schoolhouses. and the boys
who used 90 work on the farms now
attend school. The farmers are con.
sequentIy obliged 20 employ men al
this season Of the year and pay then
nine dollars O week.

REAL pooH-BAHs IN CHINA.
00csals Who Combine Many Preregs-
stves md work Hard Accord
Ing 60 Their Idea.

Some idea OF the work of the aver
are Chinese official will be gathered
from the following statement made
by an eminent Chinese statesman 10
an interpreter. says the London Mail.
The interpreter states: II once
ssked q member of the Chinese cab
met who was complaining of fatigue
and overwork for an account Of his
daily routine. He replied that he
left home every morning at two
o'clock. as he was on duty at the pal
ace from three TO six. As a member
of the privy council he was engaged
on that body from six until nine.
Prom sine until II he was at the
war department. of which he was
president. and being a member Of
the board of punishment. he was in
attendance al the Office Of that body
daily from twelve until two. A. one
OF the senior ministers OF the foreign
Office he spent every day from two
till five or six in the afternoon there.
These were his regular daily duties.
and in addition TO them he was FIRE
quently appointed TO serve on spe-
cial boards or commissions. and these
he sandwiched in between the others
as he could. He seldom reached home
before seven in the evening
II should be added. however. that
the Chinese idea Of hard work is not
quite the same as the English idea.
The Chinese official undoubtedly
spends long hours az his various Off
ces. but this is no safe guide. Per
haps the busiest department in the
Chinese government is the board of
punishment. which reviews the sen
fences pronounced by Chinese Judges
in all parts OF the empire. Naturally.
therefore. the work is rather heavy.
but in other departments eating and
drinking is the chief business OF the
day.

AN INVENTIVE RECTOR.
English Divine whose Church Bells
Are Now RING ny Means
of Electricity.

In the parish OF Runwell, in Essex.
England. an apparatus has been late
" invented by the rector for ringing
the church bells by electricity. The
origin Of the invention is rather curl
oHs. The rector. finding a difficulty
in obtaining bell-ringers. rung the
bells for three months himself. In
order TO save labor involved in per
forming this task. he invented the
automatic ringer" and erected the
apparatus in the church tower. BY
connecting the machine with the cleo
trio current already in use for light
ing the church and rectory, he sue
ceeded in ringing the bells with per-
feet order and precision. The inven-
tion is in all respects an absolute
success and the apparatus can be
worked by oil power instead Of by
electricity. This makes the invention
Of general interest with regard 10 bell
ringing. he "automatic ringer" for
which a patent has been obtained can
be supplied TO churches and build
ings whenever required. The profits
viii be devoted by the rector 10 the
fund for restoring the ancient church
OF Runwell. where the invention had
it, birth.
