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 forefinger.
The nail of the middle finger of the
right hand had next to be cut. Then
came the thumb, then the foreinger
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
erpreted.-Woman's Life.

Ell Paso an account was given in the
HERALD, is now going west from
Guerrero, the present terminus OF the

whether there is any way Of getting
over the main range of the Sierra
Madre road from there.
A man we'll known in Ell PasO. who
went down to Chihuahua with Mr..
Stillwell, and to whom he talked free
ly, said this:
"Mr. Stillwell's scheme Is perhaps
feasible, and think he will carry It out
but Ell Paso should understand once for
all that he has no intention of going
through this city. Indeed he seems never
to have had that idea.
"'Tbe road as at present planned
crosses the river 200 miles below here
and hits the Central at Chihuahua.
1.-THE only hope that this city may
have Is that the range of the Sierra
Madre may prove impossible at that
point, as L know it will, and. in that
case, the Stillwell people may have to
come north to Pulpit Canon or Canon
MADEIRA, 100 miles or go to get
through. And in that case, and in
that case only, this city msy stand q
chance to be on the line"

VaIue of BOOK Titles

It is said that Samuel Richardson on
his deathbed told his wife that she
would find among his effects some ex
cellent titles which only needed to have
books written for them to give her an
income. There is no question of the
great importance of we'll selected
name for book rs for a person. Some
very wretched books have achieved at
least profitable sale by means of
taking title, and, on the other hand,
many good book has been handicapped
by an awkward or an Insignificant title.
Yet it would be unfortunate if authors
should come to regard the title as hav-
ing any considerable weight besides the
contents of the book.
Perhaps many people do not know
that one can copyright a title without
having written page of the book. We
know man who never wrote book in
his life, and probably never will, who
has copyrighted a 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
Cutting Quill Pens.
The art of cutting quill by adept
quill drivers" was dying out when
first began schooling. Steel pens had
been known for some time, but were
not in general use. The goose quill
pen died n hard death as a commonly
used writing tool. My first schoolmas
ter was a first rate hand at cutting a
quill, and he could use it with wonder
full effects in fourishes. 1t was his
boast that he could fill the first page
of a lads schoolbook with name, age
date and f1ourishes-in which were de-
picted wonderful swans and other
birds-in such fashion that none but
experts like himself could tell where
the quill pen was taken from the pa
per for a fresh dip. My last master
could neither cut a quill nor use ons
with advantage Quilts as pens re-
manned in use in some houses as the
only writing tools up to 20 years ago.
Those who can cut a decent writing
quill are now few.-NOteS and Queries.

CT dispute over some property Mr.. B. s.
Pittman shot c. F. Kirby, magistrate of
Selma township about 10 O'Clock this
morning, in the road near the stock law
gate. about two miles from this place.
From the best information obtainable,
it seems that Mr.. Kirby was having some
lands surveyed that belonged to the late
Harrison Pittman, father of said B. s.
Pittman, and it seems that some Of the
divisions were not satisfactory to Mr..
Pittman, to which it is supposed Pittman
objected and at this juncture the lie
was passed and Mr. Pittman drew a re-
volver from his pocket. Meantime they
went together, and it was at this time
that the shooting took place, the ball
taking effect near the hip in the vicinity
Of the abdomen. Drs. Person and Dick

say he is resting as we'll as could be eX-
