Tales of the Finger Nails.

That the mental condition of a per-
son who is suffering from some phys
ical ailment may be Judged from the
condition of the finger nails was re-
Gently shown by DR.. Marco, an Italian
physician, who has for some time been
making investigations in this direction.
According to him, a patient whose
nails are not quite smooth, but contain
many burrows, is subject to acute dis
eases, since it is the inability to take
adequate nourishment, caused by such
diseases, which makes the nails de-
fective. He also maintains that a series
Of grooves will be found in the nails of
those persons who are mentally unbal-
anced and especially of those who are
periodically afflicted by some form OF
mental disturbance and that from a
simple examination of the nails any
skilled physician can tell how frequent
and how violent the mental attacks
will be.

IFrom The Worlds Work.

From The worlds WORK.
If Mr.. Mckinley became the most
popular Chief Magistrate that this gen.
Grafton has known, Mr.. Roosevelt, is in
his own right, the legitimate successor
to this distinction. And he is the most
interesting figure in our public life. He
is almost the only American citizen of
recent times who from the highest mo-
tives has from his youth given himself
wholly to the public service. He has
made it career, having no other pro-
fession. At the age of forty-three he
hes already had an experience that is
unique in our history, which is so full
of unusual careers. A large volume of
positive achievement-positive always
stands to his credit. He is gentleman
of the true democratic kind, who by his
broad human sympathy is at home with
earnest men of all social types; he is
an educated man, lover and writer
of books, the only writer of non-official
literature that has come to the Presi-
dency since the days of the cultivated
Fathers of the Republic; he is manly
sportsman, the only President perhaps
who could fill the White House with
trophies of the chase as well as of war:
and, above all, he is an unswerving be-
lever in American institutions, Ameri-
can character and American leadership.
The dominant note of his character is
earnestness. All these qualities make
man very much out of the common.
The normal earnestness with which
he has always taken his official duties
the earnestness, in fact, with which
he regards the obligations of citizen
ship-has made him as conscientious a
public servant as we have ever had;
and, as graver and graver tasks have
fallen to him in his rapid advancement,
he has become as conservative in max
ing plans as he is energetic in execut-
ing them.

CrOucheS Terror Stricken in His
Dark Cell.

Auburn n. Y, Sept. 30.-The most
terrified convict ever received at Au-
burn prison is the Presidents assassin.
He has not attempted suicide for two
reasons. The first is that he has not
had an opportunity to do so. The sec
ond is that he does not possess the cour-
age.
He lies groveling in cell No. in the
myrderers' row, watched by the keen
eyes of the keepers every minute of the
"a hours. He will not see the light of
day again, save that which reaches him
through the fanlights, until he comes
or is carried from his cell to the death
chair.
He furnishes unmistakable evidence
of his nature to his keepers. AT times
ne is as hysterical as woman from
fear. All day he hugs a corner OF his
prison bed as if expecting an attack.
He seldom utters word, except In
tremulous monosyllable replies to his
keepers. But his appetite is good
and he eats all the food brought to him.
As the prison clock ticks off the Sec
onds that separate this outcast from his
fellows from eternity the awfulness OF
his approaching doom seems to crush
him more surely than all the majesty OF
the law displayed in the brief trial
which ended in his condemnation to
death. What his last message to the
world may be no one knows, and few
seem to care. That he alone was re.
sponsible for the cruel deed that Jared
upon the nations ear like mockery
of its traditional justice is now admit
ted by nearly all connected with the
!case

SPLIT IN LIBERAL P-iRTY.
gain Accentuated in the House of
Commons.

London, June 17.-The division in the
House of Commons to-day on the mo-
ton made by Mr.. Lloyd-George (Welsh
nationalist) to adjourn the house on the
question Of the treatment of Boer wo-
men and children, which was rejected
by vote of 253 to 1874, served to accen-
tuate the liberal party's division in the
house.
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, the
liberal leader, supported Mr.. Lloyd
George In denouncing the policy Of con-
centrating women and children in
camps, and with Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, liberal, and the Rt. Hon. Will
liam Bryce, liberal, voted in the minor
ity on Mr.. Lloyd Georges motion.
About fifty liberal imperialists, led by
the Rt. Hon. II. M. Asquith, advanced
liberal, and Sir Edward Grey, liberal,
abstained from voting as a protest
against the Harcourt-M Morley policy in
supporting the governments policy re-
garding the Boer situation.
The Daily News and the Chronicle,
respectively the organs of the pro-Boer
and imperialist sections, display the
greatest irritation at this open split in
the liberal party.

this course. The letter also will ask for
