PRIDE OF THE LITTLE FINGER.

1t Can Point Back to Your Grandfather'a
Station In Life.
The fact that the hand looks shape
lier and more graceful when the middle
and third fingers are slightly curved in
and away from the index and little
finger is shown by the models in the
glove store windows, and while it is
affectation to hold the hands in such a
position, yet this exercise, to make the
pose natural, should be practiced, "
writes Katharine Eggleston Junker-
mann in the course Of an article on
Physical Culture for Girls" In the
Woman's Home Companion, which
discusses how to secure pretty hands
and to retain a natural grace Of mo-
ton. Some one has said somewhere
that the number of cultured genera
lions back OF an individual may be
judged by the degree Of curve in the
little finger. Observation will prove
this nor or less true. When one
sees 9. person holding a glass or cup
with the little finger thrust out and
curved until it resembles a hook, a
little investigation will almost invari-
ably show that the desire for culture
has only just awakened in that partic-
ular family, and in it's newness is
somewhat overstepping the mark. Al
f~ectation is q sign Of lack of breeding.
Some Of the old painters understood
hands to perfection. Long, rounded
hands, with slightly curved fingers and
gently bent wrists, are characteristic
Of the women whose beauty they have
made memorable. Sometimes, per.
haps, the beautiful hands were those
of some other model than the pictured
one; but the painters knew that beau.
tiful hands were al necessary as beau.
tiful faces in order to make a harmo-
NOUS picture. The people OF almost
every other nation have more graceful
hands than we hate; and those who
use their hands most freely when con-
versing are by far the most graceful.
The hands which make no superfiuous
movements, which appear to obey read
lily and easily their owners will, whose
movements are free, rhythmic and gen.
tie. are the really graceful ones"

TroubIe on Track.

An elephant catcher seems to be
needed in India on the railroad be-
tween Bengal and Assam. AS the SUI
perintendent of the line was making
an inspection trip over It on the night
of July II last, while passing through
the great Nambar forest the train came
to a stop with a jolt that threw the
travellers out Of their berths. 1t had
run into a herd of wild elephants
which were trotting down the track,
the hindmost of which had both hind
legs broken and was thrown into the
ditch, while the engineman counted
sever others which got away. This
was not the first time that wild ele-
plants had got on the track, and or
binary fences and cattle guards are no
protection.

Field in This Country
for Forest Engineers.

three prominent schools devoted ex-
clusively to the subject, and special
courses in certain phases OF the SCI
ence have lately been opened by a few
other institutions. The three leading
schools are here mentioned in the or
der of their foundation, as follows:
The school at George Vanderbilt's for
ests at Biltmore, N. c.; the New York
State College of Forestry, Cornell Uni
versity, Ithaca, N. Y; the Yale For
est School, Yale University, New Ha-
ven, Conn. Berea College, Berea, KY.
has started a course adapted to the
seeds of the mountain farmers, for
whom that college chiefly exists. The
New Hampshire College of Agricul-
ture and the Mechanic Arts, Durham,
N. H., has within the year opened a
course in the subject, which should be
of great help to farmers in northern
New England. These are the three
chief schools and two of the minor
ones. That courses are not opened by
more colleges is largely due, no doubt,
to the difficulty, even the impossibility
of securing competent instructors, and
to their lack of suitable demOnstra-
ton forests where the men a be put
to work. This suggests still another
field for the young American student
who has not yet hit upon his life
work, especially if he has an inclina-
ton to teach for a living. These
schools, and others yet to be, must have
professors and instructors in the vart-
Gus branches. Why not study for
estry with a view to teaching the
science ?-Boston Transcript.

ported that in his experience not more
than 20 amputations have occurred in
5000 cases, which he attributed to the
conservative spirit of present-day sur
gerry. DR.. Sterling Ryerson relates that
he saw at Kimberly lat wounded Beers
in a roller rink which had been con-
verted into a temporary hospital. They
were of all ages, from Is to IS. They
had been wounded at Paardeburg, and
in many cases the wounds had been
undressed for from Is to II days. He
tells of n man who had been shot
through the elbow joint and whose
only treatment had been the universal
Boer remedy. tobacco juice. The arm
was enormously swollen and almost
~erysipelatous in appearance. A civil
surgeon, however, took the case in
hand with modern methods, with the
result that the man made an excellent
recovery, retaining even the power to
move his arm at the joint.
