NAIL CHARACTERISTICS.

They Are an Aid In Diagnosis of Dis
eases and Traits.
1t is said that the moon at the base
of the nail is simply an indication of
good health and excellent circulation,
while the white spots are always the
accompaniment of an impaired nerv
GUS system. The common idea that an
external application of vaseline will
cure the white spots is erroneous, and
those afflicted with the little ''story
tellers' would far better turn their at
tention to securing perfect physical
health in the assurance that the spots
will disappear with improved circula-
ton.
1t is not possible to create moons at
the base of the nails. Frequently the
moon Is there. but through negligence
attention will grow upward over the
base of the nail
1t is not generally understood that
the shape and appearance of the finger
nails are carefully considered and form
an important factor in the diagnosis of
disease. Long nails are said to indicate
physical weakness and tendency to
lung trouble, and this tendency is az
grayated where the nails are corrugat-
ed and yet more aggravated if they
curve from the top back to the finger
and across. Where the nails are long
and blush they indicate bad circula-
ton. This same type of nail, but
shorter, denotes tendency to throat af-
lection, bronchitis and the like.
Short, small nails indicate heart dis
ease. Where they are short fiat and
sunken you may look for nervous dis
orders. The short nailed woman will
crit!cise her friends and her foes, but
she will critieise herself with the same
severity. She is apt to be sarcastic
and sometimes so quick at repartee
that she appears almost brutal. The
best dramatic and literary critics pos
soss this type Of nail.

The accident bulletin, which has
just been Issued by the Interstate
Commerce commission, for the three
months ending March 81, 1906, show
the total number of causalties to pas
sengers and employees to be 1926
(1,126 killed and 1910 injured.
This is an increase of seventeen in
the number killed and fifty-two in
the number injured over those re-
ported in the preceding three
months.
The total number of passengers
and employees killed in train acct
dents was 274, as aginst $40 in the
preceding thre months, decrease Of
forty-six in the number killed.
The total number of collisions and
derailments was 3,490, Q,921 COLI
sions and 1869 derailments), of
which 2S9 collisions and 167 derail-
ments affected passenger trains. The
damage to cars, engines and roadway
by these accidents amounts to So
924,7S5. There is also a decrease
of 232 in the number of collisions
and derailments reported in the pre-
eeding three months.
The number of employees killed in
coupling and uncoupling cars and
engines was eighty-four, being one
less than the number killed in the
last quarter.
In closing the bulletin says: The
most disastrous accident reported II
the present bulletin, collision
causing thirty-four deaths and in
turing twenty-four, was due to the
striking failure of the train dispatch
ing system. A telegraph operator at
a small lonely station, who had been
on duty all day and more than half
/ the night fell asleep. and, on awak-
ening, misinformed the train dis
hatcher as to what had occurred
while he was asleep. 1t is pertinent
to observe that the block system re-
peatedly adopted for preventing such
distressing accidents as that reported
in accident bulletin No 10, Just is
sued"

Brave Love.
He'd nothing but his violin,
I'd nothing but my song.
But we were wed when skies were blua
And summer days were long,
And when we rested by the hedge
The robins came and told
How they had dared to WOO and win
When early spring was col4.
We sometimes supped on dewberries
Or slept among the hay,
But Oft the farmers wives at eve
Came cut TO hear us play
The rare old songs, the dear old tunes;
We could not Etarvc for long
While my man had his violin
And ! my sweet love song.
The world has aye gone well with US,
Old man. since we We're one:
Our homeless wandering down the lanes
It long ago was done.
But those who wait for geld or gear,
For houses or for kline
TIL youths sweet spring grows brown
and scar
And love and beauty pine
VIII never know the JOY of hearts
That met without a fear
When YOU had hut your violin
And a song, my dear,

LIVING FOR T1E FLAG.
A BcautifuI Example CT Devo.ion
From Our. War Records.


From Our. War Records.
One az the most touching as well az
the most beautiful examples Of devo-
ton To the flag is to be found in the
records Of orr civil war. The Six
teenth regiment Of Connecticut volun-
teers after three days Of the hardest
and blood.est of fighting became con-
WINGED that defeat and capture by the
enemy was imminent The ranks were
depleted. and to hold out longer would
only involve needlessiy further sacri-
fee OF life But even in their hour of
peril the jealous patriots thought more
of the fate Of their battle Scared flag
than of their own Just before the
final assault on the breastwoFks the
gallant colonel shouted to his men.
whatever you do, boys, don't give up
our flag; save that at any price"' In
an instant the flag was torn from Its
staff and cut and torn into hundreds
OF small fragments, each piece being
hidden about the person of some one of
its brave defenders.
The survivors of the regiment about
500 In number, were sent to a prison
camp, where most of them remained
until the end of the war, each cherish.
ing his mite of the regimental colors.
Through long months of Imprisonment
many died, and in all such cases the
scraps Of bunting guarded by the poor
unfortunates were Entrusted TO the
care of some surviving comrade.
At the end Of the war when the pris-
oners returned to their homes a meet
ing of the survivors was held, and all
the priceless fragments of the Tag
were sewed together But very few
pieces had been lost, so that the re-
stored emblem was made nearly com
plete.
That flag, patched and tattered as 1t
is. forms one of the proudest posses
sions of Connecticut today and Is pre-
served in the state capitol at Hartford,
bearing mute testimony to the devo
ton of the brave men who were not
alone ready and willing to die for II
on the field Of battle, but to live for 1t
through long years of Imprisonment in
order that they mighe bring 1t back
whole to the state that gave 1t into
their hands to honor and defend.-St.
Nicholas.

Rapid City, S. D., June 19.-Another
proof of the rapid growth of this towr
is shown IN the fact that the announce

postoff1ce headquarters that the office
in this city has been raised to the sec

no doubt in the minds Of the people
who have seen this growth that this
would come to pass, yet the actual fact
is very gratifying. The population
throughout the entire state is increas.
ing rapidly, and twenty-four towns
have been raised in the postofflce de.
partment. Three Of these towns Rap
i'd City, Spearf1sh and Belle Fourche
are in the Black Hills.
Vermillion, S. D., June 16.-Vermil-
lion is now in the second class as q

when Uncle Sam will take full charge
OF the office. paying Postmaster Bro.
sius for the fixtures, which have be-

the postmaster an annual salary of $2,-

sides an allowance of $1,000 for clerk

been increasing the past few years ii,
is only a question of short time wher
Nermillion citizens will be enjoying
