How Lono Your N.ils Grow.

The growth of an average finger nail
is about one thirty-second of an inch
week, or nearly one and one-half
inches In year, so those arlstocratic
Chinese who proudly exhibit nails six
to eight inches In length must have
refralned from cutting them at least
four to 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 In growth
The nails Of the right hand grow fast
er 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 Oh all his
fingers and thumbs no less than ninety
feet of nail.-St Louis Republic.

HIS TAPESTRIES.
The Gems tho Collector Bought and
Showed to the Expert.

The Gems tho Collector Bought and
Showed to the Expert.
That the collector falls into trap
occasionally is shown by IN episode
which we recall. An enthusiastic pur-
chaser of old tapestries was once Of
fered In Paris a masterpiece executed
on a large scale and held Ut Il large
figure. Consulting an expert, he was
urged to buy. but the sum demanded
seemed to him at the moment good
deal to invest In tapestry, and he
let the opportunity pass.
A year or so later he met his friend,
the expert aforesaid, and asked him to
tries he had just secured. "They are
smaller" he said, "thnn the one you
advised me to buy and which, to tell
the truth, l have always regretted. and
| paid twice as much for them as
was asked to pay for that glorious
piece. but while 1t seemed a fearful
lot Of money to spend simply couldn't t
resist the chance"
The specialist In tapestries walked
into the gallery Of the proud collector
and gazed upon his prizes. He gazed
for time In silence and then had to
be very guarded In his speech Of con-
graduation. He was looking at the
original tapestry. which his friend
could have had for half the money,
now neatly cut In two and supplied
with borders. He never revealed to
the victim OF this ingenious little game
what precisely had happcned.--New

Tho Fattening Process of a Marriage
able Girl In Tunis.
The marriageable girl In Tunis has
trying ordeal to go through after her
betrothal to the man not of her choice,
but whose choice she Is. She has to be
fattened to the required size before the
ceremony can take place.
As soon us the betrothal takes place
she Is taken to a room and there COOP
ed up till the fattening process is con-
cluded. Silver shackles are fastened
round her wrists and ankles, and the
task Of her parents and future hus-
band Is to increase her bulk till her
wrists and ankles ill up the shackles.
If the husband is widower or has
discharged" his first wife the girl has
the shackles Of the first spouse placed
on her, and she must I'LL them out.
1t takes long time to do this as n
rule. and sometimes 1t cannot be ac-
complished In spite of all efforts. II is
then open to the future husband to cry
off the bargain or waive the condition.
In the case of n bachelor he takes care
to see that the bracelets and anklets
are not too large-that Is, IL he is fond
OF the girl-but II he is being forced
into the marriage by his parents he is
a great stickler for custom. Stout
girls are the more quickly snapped up
