The Finger Nails.

In days when superstition was more
prevalent than it is now the shape and
appearance Of the finger nails were
considered to have reference to ones
destiny. -s ... ...-. ........
To learn the message of the finger
nails it was necessary to rub them
over with compound Of wax and SCOT
and then to hold them so that the sun
light fell fully on them.
Then on the horny transparent SUBJ
stance certain signs and characters
were supposed to appear from which
the future could be interpreted.
Persons having certain kinds Of nails
were credited with the possession Of
certain characteristics. Thus a man
with red and spotted nails was suppos-
ed to have hot temper. while pale.
lead colored nails were considered to
denote melancholy temperament
Narrow nails were supposed to be-
tray ambition and a quarrelsome ma
ture. while round shaped nails were
the distinguishing marks of lovers Of
knowledge and people of liberal senti-
ment. #-
Conceited, narrow minded and OBJ
stinate folk were supposed to have
small nails, indolent people fieshy and
those Of gentle, retiring nature broad
nails.

OVER 10000 MEN.

Effect of the Reorganization Bill on the
Numerical Strength of the Army.
WASHINGTON, May I'm anticipation
of the passage by the house of the army
reorganization bill in an amended form,
the officials at the war department have
been figuring to learn what effect the
bill will have upon the numerical
strength Of the army. It appears that
the only branch of the service which
will receive any addition is the artillery
and the number of men to be added to
that branch is only 5,478 at the maxi.
mum. This will make the total strength
of this branch Of the service II ,443. The
present enlisted strength of the army is
$4,000 regulars and 81, 900 volunteers, or
a total Of 100000. The reorganization
bill will increase that total to 105, 4S7
men.

ers, but no one was hit. The police and
deputy sheriffs who had been guarding
the works, repeatedly charged the riot
ers and used their clubs with vigor.
Two of the ringleaders of the strikers
were arrested. The police and deputies
have been reinforced and any further
attempt at rioting will be promptly
suppressed,

The Word QuiA.

The word quiz has a remarkable
origin attributed to 1t. One night when
the performance at Drury Lane was
finished the celebrated Quin, many Of
whose jokes are still remembered, Of
fered to bet young nobleman $500
that next morning word would be in
universal use which had never been
heard before. The nobleman accepted
the wager and left the theater. Then
Quin summoned all the "supers," who
happened to be very numerous, and
gave each a large piece Of chalk. He
told them to go to the leading thor
oughfares of London and write at In
tervals on the flags the word 'quiz."
Quin's orders were faithfully carried
out. and on the following morning. of
course, people were astonished-the
word was in everybody's mouth. The
great actor with little difficulty made
his claim to the nobleman's bank note.
while bequeathing new word to the
language.
Boiled Salt Meats.
The indigestible properties or boiled
ham. corned beef and other salt meats
may. according to Mrs. Parloa, the
cooking expert, be eliminated If the
meat is sufficiently boiled. The salt
toughens the fbers, and it takes per-
sistent boiling to overcome this. The
time allowed for ten pound piece Is
five hours, but as the pieces are apt to
be thick rather than long one of half
this weight would need about the same
amount of time. The meat should be
partly cooled in the water in which it
Ii boiled.

MOVES FOR WARD
British Advance Force Now at q
Point Twelve Miles North
of Smaldeel.
Wrecked Railroads and Bridges
Cause Some Delay in Nov
ing Supplies.
Beers Said to Be Retreating but
the Immediate Destination
Is Unknown.

LONDON, May 9.-The following dis.
patch from Lord Roberts has been re-
ceived at the war office: ID,
'Smaldeel, May THE railway from
Bradfort to this place has been repaired
today but the bridge over the Vet river
has been hopelessly damaged. This de-
lays supplies coming up. Every few
yards charges Of rackarock have been
laid under the rails. This might have
created loss of life, but was fortunately
discovered by West Australian in
fantryman. ~.
"Winburg has been occupied by the
Highland brigade"
In spite of these wrecked railroads
the British advance goes on steadily.
Lord Roberts outposts are apparently
about 10 miles north of Smaldeel. Cen
eral Brabant has joined General Rumble
at Thaba N'Chu, where they are NOV
ing forward. The country is all quiet
in that direction. A reconnaissance
made by General Rumble of the Beers

and their evacuation is reported to have
been due to the receipt of an urgent
message from President Steyn. The
Beers are said to be moving northward,
but their immediate destination is not
known.
The whereabouts Of the British cav
airy under General French is still q
mystery while General Kelly-Kenny's
and General Chermside's divisions are
also unaccounted for.
A dispatch from Cape Town says:
Lord Roberts phenomenal advance
is not only utterly demoralizing the
Beers, but is striking terror into the
rebel colonists.

TROUBLE BEGAN EARLY.

HiotOus Demonstrations at the Beginning
Of the st. Louis Strike.
= ST. LOUIS, May 9.-With the excep
division Of the Lindell line, which are
being run by non-union men, all the
lines comprising the st. Louis Transit
company are tied up in consequence of
the action of the employees whose de-
mands had been refused. At several
points along the Park Avenue division
crowds assembled early. At first they
contented themselves with jeering the
non-union conductors and motormen,
but about o'clock they began to throw
mud and stones and pull the loyal en-
ployes from their cars. Police were
called to Eighteenth street and Park
avenue and Broadway and Washington
avenue, the latter in the downtown
retail district, to dispense the crowds
gathered there. At Park and jefferson
avenues, where two lines cross, a crowd
of strikers gathered at 7:30 a. m, and

police arrested Charles Doyle, but the
mob attacked the officers and released
him. Doyle was finally recaptured and
taken to the Park Avenue police sta
ton followed by great crowd.
Ten cars ON the same division were
blocked at Park avenue and Nebraska
street by crowd Of 200 strikers and
sympathizers, who pulled down the
trolleys and cut the ropes. Several
hundred strikers at Mississippi and Park
avenues attacked passing cars with
sticks and stones. The cars were loaded
with men and women, and although
several windows were broken nobody
was seriously hurt. As far as can be
learned $500 of the $500 men employed
by the St. Louis Transit company on
its cars and IN it's sheds are out.

WlNBURG AND SMALDEEL.

Their Capture Was Part of q Great Gem
eral Movement.
SMALDEEL, Sunday, May 6.-The
movement that eliminated in the cap
ture of ,Winburg and Smaldeel, was a
part of the general movement extending
from General Hunter on the west to
General Rumble on the east. Lord
Roberts admirable strategy resulted in
placing everywhere five British to one
Boer. Out Of what appeared the mex.
tricable confusion of divisions and
brigades order was quickly evolved and
the Beers are compelled to meet Lord
Roberts under unfavorable conditions.
What is more important is that the
British are now able to wait. Their
front and strong positions are safe in
the knowledge that their fanking COL
umns will advance and outfank the
Beers.
Yesterday the Beers held really
strong position, from which early in the
campaign they could have been forced
only by hard fighting. General Hamil-
toms arrival at Winburg, although in
directly outfanking the Beers, made
their position extremely uncomfortable.
General Hutton's movement on the left
was even more successful than at first
imagined. Forty Beers were killed.
Lord Roberts has been very strict in
his examination Of the farms, with the
result Of disclosing the fact that nearly
every house is miniature arsenal,
Mausers, Martins and abundant am
munition being found. If these had
not been discovered the army would be
leaving in it's rear the material in arms
and men for a dangerous move by the
inhabitants.

cally every car line in st. Louis is tied
up. The Suburban line, the only one
in the city not part Of the extensive

were pulled off the cars by strikers at
De Hodiamont and in the down town
section of the city.
One car on each of the lines converg.
ing on Washington avenue were run
out. Four cars got down town as
far as Sixth street, but only one went
around the loop. All were attacked by
a mob of men and boys on Washington,

conductors were. injured by flying mis-
siles. A
Riot Call Was Turned In

their efforts were in vain.

over the head swith club which cut a
cash in his scalp. A piece of brickbat
struck him in the mouth, decorating his
lip and his nose was gashed by stone.
The motorman left his car and went
into a saloon for protection.
Almost at the same time a young
woman, about 20 years of age, who was
riding in the car was struck on the
head and badly injured by a stone
thrown through the window.
John Kohring, l6-year-old boy, who
was in crowd on. Park avenue was
