Thumb Nail Pictures.

In collections, centuries old, to be
seen in both China and Japan are
specimens Of the most remarkable
drawings in the world, pictures Of all
kinds drawn with the thumb nail. The
nails of the thumbs ON the left hands
of the artists of these are allowed to
grow to an enormous length, some
times to foot or eighteen inches, and
are then pared down to a pen shaped
point Dipping this oddly constructed
pen In beautiful vermilion or sky blue
ink, the only kinds of ink used in these
sacred thumb nail drawings, the artist
gracefully outlines his work.
Occasionally the bold touches from
the studio Of master In this depart
ment Of "high art are life size and
are sketched by few sweeps Of the
artists arm. Like other pictures and
sketches Of the orient, these sacred
thumb nail pictures are mounted and
rolled up like scrolls.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

In setting out an orchard keep to-
gether all trees Of the same variety.
Good garden soil is good for pot
plants, but can be improved by the ad-
dition Of leaf mold.
Weak rosebushes may often be made
to grow by giving them an occasional
watering with liquid manure.
One advantage with small fruits Is
that they can be made to furnish n
supply long before trees come into bear
ing.
In planting border don't plant every
thing in rows. A row Of hollyhocks,
for instance, isn't half as attractive as
irregularly placed groups that break
the outline.
With pot plants in general way too
little water is better than too much.
The dropping leaves indicating drought
are more easily remedied than yellow
leaves, the result Of being kept too
wet.
In preparing pots for plants the
pieces Of broken pots or crockery in the
bottom should never be omitted, as
without proper drainage the soil be-
comes sour, the plants languish and
the leaves become yellowish.

"Address as Above"

There is one lawyer in Brooklyn who
will never again make use Of Latin
phrases in writing business letters. A
short time ago he had to write letter
to client in a neighboring city regard
ing an important lawsuit that was to
come up before the court in the course
of a few days. The information he So
hcited was highly essential to his case.
In writing this epistle he made use Of
a letter head with his printed address
at the top. In closing his letter he sign
ed himself thus, "John Langdon, ad-
dress ut SUPRA"
After waiting several days for the
reply, which did not come, he again
wrote his procrastinating client and
asked why he had not sooner answered
his first letter. The next day he re-
ceived a reply in which the client said
that he had answered the letter and
addressed it to "John Langdon, Ut
Supra, n. Y"

A BANK STORY.
An Incident That Startled the OLD
Lady of ThreadneedIe street.

Lady of ThrendneedIe street.
Some years ago the directors OF the
Bank of England were startled TO re-
ceive an invitation to meet an un-
known man in the strongroom OF the
bank at midnight. You think you Is
all safe hand you bank his safe, but
/ knows better. / bin hinside the
bank the last mite hand you nose
muffin about it. But am mott theaf
so hif yer will NETT NEE in the great
squar room, with all the moneys, at
twelf mite, lie explain orl to you, let
only thor cum down, and say muffin
to nobody" The strongroom was
guarded the next night in spite OF a
disposition to regard the letter as
hoax by police and-nothing happened.
The next phase of the mystery was
more astonishing than ever. A heavy
chest Of papers and securities taken
from the strongroom arrived at the
bank, with letter complaining that
the directors hM set the police upon
the writer. and that he had therefore
not appeared as he promised, but to
prove that he was neither thief nor
a fool he sent chest Of papers he had
taken from the bank. Let few gen.
tlemen be alone in the room, and he
would Join them at midnight, said the
writer, and to cut short long and
strange chapter Of bank history, a man
with a dark lantern burst into the
strongroom of the bank at midnight
after calling from behind the stone
walls for the directors to put out the
lights. He was one Of strange class
of men who gained living by search
ing the sewers at night, and through
an opening from a sewer he had found
his way into the richest room in the
world.-St James Gazette.

FLAGS ON THE CkPlTOt.
what II Means when They Are Fly
ina at Half Mast.

ina at Half Mast.
The flying of Gags over the capitol at
half mast is regulated by the strictest
rules. Whenever these flags are seen
floating half way down the mast 1t Is
a sure indication that vice president.
senator or representative Is lying dead
or that the action is taken in response
to a presidential proclamation ordering
the flags on public buildings at half
mast in respect to the memory Of some
prominent official of the government
who has passed away.
When the sergeant at arms Of the
senate or house of representatives,
learns of the death of member OF
either of those bodies, he at once
orders that the flags over the senate
chamber or hall of representatives be
half masted. This is often done before
the houses Of congress themselves are
officially notified of the death. A good
deal Of discretion Is exercised In the
manner of placing the news Of death
of this kind officially before the senate
or the house. Upon such an announce
ment it is customary for the houses to
adjourn in respect to the deceased SEN
ator or representative, and in order
that the current business may not be
stopped early in the day the announce
ment is generally made just before the
houses are ready to conclude their
days work.
Officers of the senate and house
when they fly the flags at half mast In
response to a proclamation by the pres
ident regard their action as one OF
courtesy, as they do not recognize the
power Of the president to order con-
gress to do anything except to assem-
BILE In extraordinary session. They
have always responded to the requests
of such proclamations. 1t would be
nice question, II one could imagine that
it could ever be raised, to know to
what extent the presidents authority
would allow him to order flags at half
mast on the capitol. While his author
fty would not extend over the en-
ployees Of the senate and house, yet
the capitol itself for many years was
In fact controlled exclusively by him
so Iar as the cure VI TIC puiuih5 40
concerned, and the superintendent OF
the building is today appointed by him
without confrmatory action on the
part of the senate.
AS a matter of fact, the capitol has
for years been under the direct control
of the committees on appropriations of
the two houses of congress, but that
control has been accorded them by the
failure Of the president to give any or
ders to the architect or more lately to
the superintendent of the capitol. II
he should order that official to fly flags
over the capitol at half mast and the
order should be disobeyed, he would
have power to dismiss him and appoint
some one else in his place without the
concurrence of either branch of con-
gress, except so far rs the appropria-
tion for the officials salary would be
involved. These are practically moot
questions, but they occasionally form
interesting subjects for fireside talks
when flags are half masted in response
to presidential proclamations--Wash-
ington Star.

op dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions,
which adhere to the membrane and decom-
pose, causing far more serious trouble than
the ordinary form Of catarrh. Avoid all dry
