Biting the nails Is an exceedingly dangerous practice, as the bitter never knows when to stop and at any mo- ment Is liable to bite into "the quick" and cause blood poisoning. Even when the utmost care Is taken of the teeth a poisonous secretion Is apt to collect on them, and the entrance of minute portion of this into the circulation may prove as certainly fatal as the pus on a surgeons scalpel.

Ancient skyscrapers.

The idea prevails that skyscrapers are of modern American origin. but Professor Lanciani declares that In an- cient Rome, as early as the time of Au- gustus, buildings 10 or 12 stories high were common.

It Is well known that at Constantinople the Emperor Con stantine found his view of the water cut off by the skyscrapers erected be- tween his palace and the water front, though he had placed his palace on high ground.

that the roads will now cooperate

Mr.. Bryan Writes of the

Democrats Should Stand by the
Candidates.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 9.-Mr. Bryan's
Commoner today, contained the fol
lowing:
"The Ohio Democrats have ample
reason to feel disappointed at the
course pursued by the regular conven.
ton. If it had been necessary to fight
the campaign entirely on State issues,
no reference would have been made to
national questions. The fact that the
platform devoted more space to ma
tional than to local subjects was proof
that the excuse given for refusal to
endorse the Kansas City platform was
shallow and insincere. The fact that
the platform contains much that is
good, together with the further fact
that the candidates nominated from
Mr.. Kilbourne down through the en-
tire list have been supporters of the
party ticket in recent campaigns,

a bolt with any promise of success.
"The first effect of a boiling ticket
would be, therefore, to augment the
chance of Republican success this fall
The second effect would be to lessen
the influence of the bolting Democrats
in future party contests. Let the
Democrats of Ohio commend the good
parts of the Ohio platform and con.
denim the weak points, but let them
support the ticket. Then they should
begin on the day after election to Sc
organize the Democratic party of that
State as to make it impossible for an.
other convention to give as much en-.
couragement to the Republicans as the
last convention did"
