LIVING A LIE.
Those People Who Dress or Live Be-
yond Their Means.

yond Their Means.
Dressing or living beyond ones means
IS nothing less than absolute dlshon-
esty. If you are trying to do what
you cannot afford TO do, you are living
a lie: If you are wearing clothes that
you cannot afford, they are perpetual
witnesses against you. They are la
beled all over with falsehood. II your
jewelry, your carriages your furs and
your costly gowns tell me that you are
rich when you live in poverty strick-
Ell home and when your mother is
obliged to make all sorts Of sacrifices
to enable you TO make this false dis
play, you lie just as surely as you
would if you should try to deceive me
by your words.
The consciousness OF being we'll
dressed and yet owing for it, Of riding
or Of patroniZing expensive hotels and
restaurants which one cannot by any
stretch of Imagination or sophistry af-
ford, is destructive TO self respect, to
truth and honesty ard TO manhood and
Womanhood. You cannot afford 10
wear lies or eat lies any more than
you can afford to tell lies
There IS only one possible result upon
character Of falsehoods, whether acted
or told, and that is perpetual deteriora-
ton and decentralization. No one can
act a lie or live a lie without being dis
honest. When man sacrifices his hon
esty he loses the handspring Of his
character. and he cannot be perfectly
honest when he is lying by frequenting
costly restaurants or hotels, by wear
ing expensive clothing or by extrava-
CANT living when he cannot afford it

Talked Toe Much.

Speaking one day Of club sOciabil-
ity, Hy Mayer, the cartoonist, told OF a
club to which he was invited while in
Berlin. The club was composed OF
elderly Germans, who met in back
room TO drink beer and smoke. At In
tervals one Of the clubmen would re-
move his pipe from his mouth, nod his
head sagely and remark, Yah" After
a little pause another OF the smokers
would say, Yah" That was the ex-
tent of their conversation. One night
said Mr.. Mayer, "one OF the members
brought his son to the club. After sev-
eral OF the older ones had spoken as
usual the youngster spoke. He said,
Yah, yah They expelled him at
once" concluded Mr.. Mayer, "for talk

Method by Which They Are Formed
and How They Grow.
The nail is special modification OF
the cuticle, the superficial cells being
harder, more horny. and more firmly
adherent to each other than in the
proper skin. The deep layer Of the skin
Is peculiarly modified TO form the bed
Of the nail, is highly vascular. and Is
studded with almost parallel ridges,
the true skin overlapping the sides
and root Of the nail, which fits into
the groove, as a watch glass into Its
rim. The surfaces Of all these ridges
are covered with growing cells which,
as they fiatten and change into horn,
form one solid curved plate, the nail.
Nails grow both in thickness and
length The increase in thickness is
caused by the formation Of nerve cells
on the bed Of the nail; the increase in
length, through the formation Of new
folds at the hinder part Of the bed.
The nail. thus constantly receiving ad-
ditions from below and from behind.
Is slowly pushed forward over its bed
till 1t projects beyond the end Of the
finger and Is cut of at intervals or
worn away.

A Correction.

In the report of the proceedings
sent by the Associated Press of
the Charleston convention that re-
port said in substance that Col.
Mccoy, from Tyler county, and
an alternate, arose in his seat and
in stentorian tones denounced a
speaker as a liar. A man who
was not a delegate was seated
alongside of F. D. Mccoy, and
this man did get up and call a
man liar, but he did it so quickly
the reporter was told Mr.. Mccoy
was the speaker, and so the report
got out that he was guilty of this
uHgentlemanly conduct. It's
needless to say Mr.. Mccoy did not
call anybody liar. In fact, he
informs us if he had wanted to do
anything of the kind the man was
entirely too large for him to at
tempt any such thing.
