KAIsER's DIGNITY WAS HURT.

The enthusiasm of the good Norwe

cuse for affecting to be blase.
The German emperor, Of course is
a regular frequenter of the fjOrds, but
he allows no liberties to be taken
with his sacred person. On one Occa-
sion when the HOhenZOllern anchored
off little town, the German consular
agent, as in duty bound, went aboard
to pay his respects; but, not being
possessed Of a uniform, it did not APP
pear to him necessary to appear at
midday in the comic opera kit of
evening dress on board the vessel.
He therefore presented himself in
an attire that compromised the official
correctness of frock coat by brown
boots. His majesty, however, resent

NAIL BITING HEREDITARY.
Doctor Finds That It Is Family
Habit in Many Cases.

From the New YORK Sun.
"Heredfty? Look at these finger nails of
mine" said physician OF somewhat
stolid exterior. Observe that every one
of them is bitten down to the quick.
They've been bitten down to the quick
ever since / can remember. and In spite
of everything 1 could do. I've tried all
or most of the schemes that have been
invented to stop folks from gnawing on
their nails. and yet here are my disgrace
fully bitten nails to show how ineffective
such schemes are in my case, at any
rate.
Now, my mother bit her finger nails in
precisely the same fashion. She had
beautiful pair of hands, with long, slen-
der, tapering fingers and 1t was one OF
the miseries of her existence that she
simply could not get away from the habit
of running her nails by biting them. Not
only that, but my mother told me that
her father inveterately bit his nails, and
mother had tried all of her life to do away
with the habit of biting her nails without
success.
so you see that in my case the nail-bit-
ing habit is distinctly hereditary.

to investigate it in the cases of other per-

There no reason whatever why l
should bite my nails. 1t is asserted by
some specialists in nerve diseases that
the practice springs from certain form
of nervousness; but I doubt If that can be
true. for 1 am actually the least nervous

myself of the practice, which. being an IN
voluntary and unconscious one, is almost
Impossible to control. l have, with the
greatest difficulty, contrived at times to let
four or five Of my nails grow, permitting
them to attain an almost foolish length be-
cause l was SO proud of them; but at the
same time that these long ones looked like
the hooked finger nails of Buddhist an
chorite the other ones were gnawed to the
quick.
"Among other things, I've tried the
scheme Of dipping my finger tips IN color

that when I put my nails to my lips to
bite them I'd be reminded of my resolution
by the bitter taste of my fingers. l foun1 1t
