How Lono Your Nails Grow.

The growth of an average finger nail is about one thirty-second of an inch a week. or nearly one and one-half inches in Il year. so those aristocratie Chinese who proudly exhibit nails six to eight inches in length must have refrained from cutting them at least four 10 six years Finger nails grow faster in the summer than In winter. The nail on the middle finger grows faster than any of the others. and that of the thumb is slowest ln growth. The nails of the right hand grow fast CT than those of the left. A nail IS supposed to reach its full growth in about four and half months. and at this rate man seventy years old would have renewed his nails 262 times. On each finger he would have grown nine feet of nail. or on all his fingers and thumbs no less than ninety feet of aail.-St Louis Republic.

Brownsville Negro soldier. Found Guilty.

Brownsville Negro Soldiers Found Guilty.
 The Military Court of Inquiry which has been investigating the shooting af- fair at Brownsville, Texas, finds that the shooting was done by negro soldiers of the 18th regiment.
 Fourteen men belonging to the regi- ment are declared to be eligible for re- enlistment.
 As to the charges made by the Mayor and citizens of Brownsville the court was unanimously of opion that:
 "Fhe soldiers of the 18th infantry, stationed at Fort Brown, Texas, did on the night of Aug. 1914, 1906, shoot in- to the houses of the town of Browns Vile, Tex, occupied by men, women and ehildren, killing Frank Natus, citizen oi that town, seriously wound Ing the lieutenant of.police, NJ. |. Do- minguez, causing him the loss of an arm, and killing the horse under him. The court Is unanimous in its opinion that ttheesidence sustains the charges
 There are two other findings-one that the officers by their careless ne- glect of duty are responsible for the shooting; the other declaring that some oi the soldiers were not concerned in the shooting and are eligible to re-en- listment.
 This decision is final and cannot be reviewed.
 The members of the court are Lieut. e'enefsi 5. E. NJ. Young, Major Gener- al J. r. Sanger, Brigadier General The odore Seh~an, Brlxsdier General But Ter D. Price, Brigadier General John M Wilson, and Captain Charles How land. If the unanimous decision of such body of eminent officers h nos to be accepted, then the decision of all courts is 10 be distrusted.

 General Use of Oil on State Roads.

Highway Commissioner James H. Macdonald has sent letters to select men all over the state, calling atten- ton to the need of prompt repairs on roads now. The commissioner adds
 May ask that you do not set this suggestion aside, for delays in repair ing macadam road are always fatal. It Is my intention 10 extend constant attention 10 all macadam roads during the entire season. It is also my pur- pose, after the splinter treatment has been reduced by travel and the road has become receptive and the weather settled, to furnish and apply treat ment of asphaltic base oil, so that the dust may be laid during the summer months. l ann outlining this policy of the state so that you may know eX- actly the mind of the commissioners Of course l know it will require con siderable detail work to comprehend any plan that will protect our roads IL Is my purpose, however, to go to the limit of my official privilege in main- taining our roads. The duty is an ar. duous one for all concerned, as it will require constant attention in many instances, especially indicated on our popular thoroughfares.

The Administra,,oa's Splendid Record.

Al recent meeting of the Tppeea- noe Club, at Cleveland, Ohio, at which ex Secretary ef the Interior Garfield and eN. Governor Herrick of Ohio, were the two principal speakers. The ob- jeet of the meeting was ts discredit the Administration of President Taft in the estimation of hts own party,
 Roth the speakers denounced the Ad- ministration for it's great and wanton extravaganza and for its unfaithful. fuiness in nol carrying out the pledges made by the National Republican Con vention that nominated MT. Tan for President In all the charges no facts or specific statements were given.
 Attorney General Wickersham took up the cudgels tn defence of the Ad- minlstration. and In speech made be- for ,he Hamilton Club, at Chicago, last Friday evening, and while not re- ferring to any particular charses made, he gave . record of the achievements with which the Tan Administration should bc credited that utterly refnted what had been charged at the Cleve- land meeting.
 MT. wiekersham presented facts and statistics to verify ail he said. which ~ere calmly presented. He said, that 'eonprehensisely stated, the Admin istfatioa has. te the extent of the pos siele limiis of Executive action, fnl- filled every pledge made in the Repub- llean platform of felS.s

defects can be pointed ont the general results of its operation have verified the prediction of the President and dis proved those of it's oponents.
 In series of special messages the Attorney General shows, that the Pres ident urged upon Congress it's obliga- ton to fulfill all the pledges of the Re- publican national platform. If there has been any failure in this respect, it is not the fault of the Administ ration.
 The Administration has un dertaken important economic reforms, and has made the unexampled record of reduc- ing the estimates of one year s94 ,000 900 below the estimates of the preceding year, and S,o.Oo0, ,o0o below the appro- priations Tor that year. MT. Wicker sham said that "there has never been such reduction in the history ss tie government, nor is there any record of any previous effort by any other ad- ministration, to reduce estimates simi- lar to that made by the heads of De- partments this year.
 MT. Wiekefsham's speech shows con clusively that whatever faults can be charged against the Administration that of unnecessary expenditures and failure to fulfill the pledge of the party are utterly at variance with the facts.
 Now that the record of President Taft's first year in office has been clear ly and ably shown to have been one of unparalleled economy, faithfuIness to pledges, enormous activity, and ample achievement, the people will appreciate the Presidents admirable work when they see it freed from the distorting in- fiuences of error and misrepresanta- iiAta
