xL-CRTTIcAL NAILS.

OF course you have met him-tte
man who takes issue with everything
you say; who would rather dispute
than eat, and whose whole desire is to
contradict. for the sole sake Of con
tradietion. even though he knows you
are right.
Such q person usually has very short,
disagreeable-looking nails. These are
called Critical nails" There are
varying degrees OF them, and accord
ing to the degree of their shortness
(from top to base) will be the degree
of their owners contentious dis
position.
In combination with other markings,
critical nails play a very important
part in estimating q persons h
acter.
II, for instance, the hand is gross,
very red and hard and has a short,
pointed thumb and many grilles on the
thumbs third phalanx (the Mount of
Venus) he may be considered a liber-
tine of the worst type.
without the critical nails he
would not be SO pronounced in his In
dulgences.
Critical nails also lend a more
furious emphasis to the domlneering
nature of an excessively large first
phalanx of the thumb.
There are, besides the nails so far
treated, several other types which will
be the subject Of the next section.

A CITY CHARTER WITHOUT FPyLLs.

1T0 HE city charter bill to be introduced in the Senate N Mon
day night will be free from certain proposed features that.
have been considered by the Charter Commission in a sup
Elementary way. namely, the initiative and referendum and the re-
call. Newark is both conservative and progressive. There are few
cities in the United States that have as good a civic spirit. Munich
pal government is watched with singular vigilance. and there is a
remarkably intelligent interest in local affairs. A new charter is
necessary, not by reason of a lack of civic interest, but because the
machinery has become outgrown. The city needs new official
machinery, and a new charter will confer il. But in adopting new
forms of government the prudent sentiment of Newark is sure to
reject the experimental and sentimental. 1t wants "a new charter
but it wants one that will be practical and workable, and as simple
as possible. Newark is a busy community, and has neither time
nor inclination to work out abstract problems in government. 1t
has asked for a better concentration of authority. with adequate
safeguards. That was the task Of the Charter Commission. which
has addressed itself conscientiously to a work performed with
singular fidelity as we'll as ability. That's the kind of a charter the
people will vote for. They can dispense with experimental frlls.

FOR POPULAR ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.

ID Y an overwhelming majority the House OF Representatives
LID has passed the resolution providing for the election of
United States senators by the popular vote. An amend
ment reserying TO Congress the power to regulate the elections
for senator's, similar TO the amendment by which the resolution
was defeated in the Senate last winter, was voted down and the
original resolution went through, with only fifteen Republicans, in
Gliding eXSpeaker Cannon, and one Democrat opposed. The real
fight on the resolution will be made in the Senate, though this time
with every prospect that it will be passed. The changes in the
Senate have eliminated enough Of the Aldrich "old guard" re-
placing these senator's with progressives, to make a radical change
OF sentiment in the Republican majority. The fight in the Senate
will turn upon the am Andment, aimed at the Southern States, to
give Congress the power at any time to force negro suffrage upon
the Southern States. This amendment defeated, every Southern
vote will be lined up for the resolution.

series of letters on behalf OF his client,
the husband in the case.
And how do you know they are

lisch, counsel for the wife i'll the case.
"Are you an expert along this line?'
And the answer was lost amid the
laughter of every n in court and the
sharp rappings of the gavel on the
bench.
Charles +. kocher, while on a visit
to England, was asked with several
friends to visit one of the parochial
schools in a small town. The party was
invited to ask the scholars questions,
and one of the party accepted the in
vitation.

Martin Mclaughlin intends to allow
his sister-in-law to buy all his hats
after this. providing she gets the wrong
size and allows Mclaughlin to exchange
it. Here is the reason: MeLaughlns
sister-in-law recently bought for him n
s. derby that was a size too small.
Mclaughlin took it TO the store and
had it exchanged for one the correct
size. As he came out of the store the
wind was blowing strongly and Nc
Laughlin pulled the hat down firmly
on his head. As he did so he felt a
lump in the sweat-band.
He examined it and found 1t was a
rump!ed-up fve-dollar bill. McLaugh-
lin ever since has been trying to figure
out how it got there and also as to
whether he has a new hat or a second
hand one.
Tom McLelland, clerk OF the criminal
courts. sprung this problem the other

Each man at each table buys one
round OF drinks, costing five Gems

six. twenty-five cents for the party OF
five, and twenty cents for the four

GRAFT INVESTIGATION IN BERGEN.

NRAFT in Bergen county is now undergoing the probe by a
committee of the House of Assembly. Work on the county
books was begun yesterday, and when the expert gets his
data ready the committee will begin proceedings. The investigation
will doubtless be continued until late in the summer. The investi
cation will cover every department of the county government in
which there is any suspicion of wrong doing. The building of the
Bergen County Court House has been attended by much scandal
and that will he a special subject for inquiry.

How the Soldiers We're Armed fol
the Civil War


AZ for arms, the regiments came to
the front with every conceivable
kind and some with none at all. The
regular infantry, what there was Of
1t, had but recently given up the old
smooth-bo musket for the Spring
field rifle, caltber So, with its paper
cartridge and conical, counter-sunk
bullet; but Harper's Ferry arsenal
had been burned, Springfield could
not begin to turn out the number
needed Rock Island arsenal was not
yet built, and 30 in many q regiment,
flank companies, only, received the
rife, the other eight using for months
tho old smooth-bo with its "buck
and balr' cartridge, good for some
thing within two hundred yards and
for nothing beyond.
Even II these there were enough
for only . few regiments. Vast pur-
chases, therefore, were made abroad,
England selling Us her Enfieids, with
which the fine Vermont brigade was
first armed, and France and Belgium
parting with Thousands Of the huge,
brass-bound, ponderous ''carabfne .
tigs"-the Belgian guns with spike
at the bottom to expand the soft
leaden bullet when ''rammed home"
With this archaic blunderbuss whole
regiments were burdened, some for
eign-born volunteers receiving 1t
eagsrly rs from the old country"
and therefore superior to anything Of
Yankee invention. But their conf
dence was sbort-lived. One days
march, one short hours shooting,
