Forty years ago in certain parts or
the United states it was the custom to
grow long nails l well remember
some Of the swclls and buffers who
devoted more attention to their little
finger nails than they did to their
teeth, and often have seen the fifth
digit with claw on it an inch and n
quarter In length. The nail was car
ried in a stall, and on occasion was
split after the manner of steel or
quill pen, so that it's wearer could sign
his name to n check with 1t. says q

HOW a MAN BROWNS.
The Reason He sometimes Comes
Three Times to the surface.

The Reason He Sometimes Comes
Three Times TO the Surface.
Few popular fallacies are of such
wide extent us the belief TINT a person
must rise to the surface three times,
no more and no less. before he can pos
sibly drown.
There Is little ground for this sup
position, although 1t has been almost
universally believed In for generations.
The truth Is that a drowning person
may sink the first time never to rise
aguin, or he may. as he indeed does In
the majority of cases. rise three times
before he sinks forever.
1t all depends upon the quantity or
water that he swallows when he sinks
and the size of his lungs. The human
body In life naturally floats while the
lungs are inflated. AS long as one
keeps his head above the surface OF
the water he can float, face up, with
out having to move hand or foot.
But as soon as person sinks ne
gulps ana Imbibes a quantity OF water.
II after he has swallowed water he
has any mir in his lungs, he viii I'M
doubtedly rise again and VIII continue
to sink and rise alternately until all
the mir is expelled from his lungs, when
he will drown.
In most cases the frightened victim
of an accident swallows enough water
when he first sinks to leave him In a
very exhausted condition; but, as there
is sim mir left in his lungs, he soon
finds himself on the surface again.
Each time he sinks, however, the sup
ply OF air In his lungs grows less until
ultimately there Is no longer suthcient
to support him.
A Kind hearted man in rev Zee sssA..
had a sudden shock little time ago.
ne was standing on railway plat
form giving apples to circus elephaIit
Gagged in cattle truck as the circus
was on the move. The train started
and the elephant, not to lose tine lass
onnIas in tie basket, promptly seized
tie man in his trunk and carried MIN
aIonr with the train. The train had
to be stopped and the kind hearted man
rescued from the trunk Of the travel
ing elephant.

The great task of sound ethics Is 70
stimulate the social Imagination. We
must be continually prodding our Rense

at each point Of contact with the nyes
OF others such pointed questions as
these:

How would you like to be the Gus

How would you like to be the In

How would you like to be the employ

How would you like to be the clerk
or saieswoman in the store where you
are reaping extra dividends by impos-
ing harder conditions than the state OF

How would you like to be the stoker
