THE FINGER NAILS.
How They Tell the Story Of Physical
and Mental Condition.

anu OOUuitlOUs
One who makes a close study of finger
nails viii find many curious things about
them to excite his wonder and interest,
says an expert on such matters. but none
more 50 than the stories OF physical con-
dition told in their growth.
You know that the nail of n person in
good health grows at the rate of about
one sixteenth OF an inch each week
slightly more than many authorities be-
lieve-but during illness or after an ac-
cident or during times OF mental de-
preston this growth is not only affected
and retarded 50 far as its length is con-
cerned, but also regards its thickness.
The very slightest illness will thus leave
an indelible mark on the nails which may
be readily detected as the nail grows out.
II one has a sudden attack, such as acute
rheumatism. which sends the temperature
bounding upward to l04 or 105 within the
space OF two or three hours. IL will be
found ON the nails, indicating the diff
ference in thickness OF growth between the
time when health was enjoyed and the
thin growth of the i'll period
Ii the illness is one that comes grad
ually, like typhoid fever, for example,
instead OF a ridge a gentle incline will APP
pear on the nails. Should one have an
arm broken the thick ridge can be seen
only On the fingers OF the one hand, but
in all cases OF general sickness the ridge
or slope appears on the myers OF poth
hands. When one has passed through a
period of extreme excitement or mental
depression the fact will be imprinted on
the nails either with an abrupt edge or a
gentle slope according to the acuteness
OF the mental influence.
In no instance can the marks Of illness,
accident or mental condition be clearly
seen on the nail until after the growth
has carried the line beyond the white or
half moon portion of IL. but a week or
two subsequent to any of these things the
ridge or slope may be found on the nails
usually readily visible to the eyes. but il
not the mark may be found by running
the tip of the finger down any OF the nails

Lieut.. Peary viii Give Lecture Here
May 10.


Major Fred w. Childs of Brattleboro
has been in town recently making ar
rangements for the appearance Of Lieut..
Peary at Memorial hall on May 16. 1t has
only been by the most persistent efforts
that Mr.. Childs was able to obtain the
promise from the navy department that
Lieut.. Peary would be allowed to fill any
engagements. 1t is probable that this
will be the last lecture he will deliver be-
fore leaving on his expedition to the North
in the hope Of discovering the North Pole,
which has been the unaccomplished OBJ
ject of so many explorers during the last
century. Lieut.. Peary will give personal
experiences and talk in his charming
manner in regard TO his previous travels
in the frozen country. 1t is at a large
expense that this lecturer is secured and
every one ought to feel great satisfaction
in this opportunity Special trains will
be run for the benefit of friends down the
valley and We shall hope to see many
present Posters and advertising matter
will be distributed soon.

A Partisan physician has founded
"mirth cure" for dyspepsia, and receives
a large fee for treating patients. He
puts a number of them around room
and makes them grin at each other. All
look so foolish that in time they get
laughing heartily, and are made to keep
It up for two hours a day. Two weeks OF
this treatment is said to cure the worst

CUTS TAP ROOTS
OF COFFEE TREES

HILO, Feb. 24-Writing of coffee
T culture in the HiIo Tribune, DR..
Nicholas Russell says:
Coffee has two systems of roots, sur
blowing could provide abundantly of
available soil for the surface roots, it
evidently could not do it for the tap
root, sinking several feet down, can
not be ploWed so deep.
In such circumstances We have been
compelled to give up our coffee planta-
lions, price or no price and pass to
banana and cane planting. The diff
Guilty was unsurmountable
Having still fifteen acres of coffee
on my homestead, which 1 was reluc-
tant to sacrifice 1 concentrated my at
tention upon the one row left for ex-
perimenting upon in the sacrificed
twenty-five acre field. This whole field
intended for cane and bananas, was
cleared of stumps, plowed and cross
plowed several times in the way, as if
there was no row of coffee trees left.
The pillow was run very close to the
coffee trees, that looked as poorly and
dying as was the rest of the field.
Thus the roots have been heavily
pruned.
A year after blowing, and without
the use of fertilizers, to my surprise
the row of coffee trees has recovered
entirely, has resumed its luxuriant ap-
pearance, sent off new sets of prima-
ries. blossomed and is bearing now a
moderate amount Of berries. 1t prom
Uses a fuI1 paxt crOn This wac appollr-
aging, and recently I applied a mix
ture of potash and bone meal around
every tree
This experiment makes me think
that the part the tap-root plays with
coffee is only to secure water from the
depth where it has to go after it in
its native dry and arid country. In
a rainy district like ours, where soil
is always moist this root is unneces-
sary and its fate imma terial Impor-
tant alone is the system of surface
roots. whose function is the providing
of food. Therefore all that is necessa-
ry to insure the longevity and pros
porous condition of a coffee tree in
Olaa is to improve l to 1 1-2 foot of
the upper soil to feed the tree This
can be effected by blowing, which
transforms the poisonous suboxide in
to an Indifferent oxide. and by super
fetal fertilizing with potash, bone meal
and lime around each tree. On the
ground of this L would suggest that
those, who still own coffee plantations
in our district, should repeat my ex-
pertinent on a few rows of their worst
coffee trees. where soil is not rocky
and admits blowing.

TOWN SHUT
Up TIGHT
Travellers by Steamship
Mongolia Badly
Jared,

Freak features of the Sunday-closing
law came to light yesterday during the
brief stay of the steamship Mongolia
in port. Passengers came up town and
saw nothing but desolate-looking rows
of closed stores.
This is certainly bum town." said
a Chicago business man as he left the
vicinity of the corner of Fort and Hotel
streets. Il came ashore this morning
to buy some collars and shirts, and have
tried every way to get them, but they
can't be got. l am in need of some ex-
ira articles of wear and banked on get
ting them when | got to Honolulu"
Another passenger drifted into the of
fee OF the Hawaii Promotion Commit
tee.
Is this the Promotion Committees
office"
Yes, sir" was the reply of the secre-
tary who was getting some mail off by
the Mongolia
We'll, say, can ~ou tell me where l
can get cigar in this town? I've been
all over it III hack and haven't located
one yet"
The secretary handed one over to the
passenger with the remark that he prob
badly couldn't buy one if he tried again
Just then mounted police officer rode
up to the Promotion office, dismounted
and came inside
High Sheriff say all curio store must
close on Sunday" he announced to Sec
rotary Boyd.
But this isn't a curio store" was the
reply
well, High Sheriff say all curio store
close anyhow" persisted the officer.
But this is not a curio store, | tell |
you
bashes and tapas in the window, and |
then glanced suspiciously back as he
mounted his wheel and rode away. The |
promotion Office did not close, however |
Where can we get a glass of soda |
water - asked young lady resident as
she stood on the corner at Fort ana |
King streets, tanning herself. ooh,
dear, I never wanted to have a soda so
much in all nv life Why, there isn't
even a place where 1 can get drink of
water"
And so it went on.
IF YOU ever catch me coming to this
place again, it'll be because | couldn't
lelp myself, said another passenger as
lie started back to the Mongolia. Il
