Finger Nails.

1t is always amusing to speculate
on the character of ones neighbor. A
very simple aid in SO doing is to watch
the nails. If a mans or woman's
nails are long and slender you may
be quite certain the person is not so
robust physically as the possessor OF
short, broad nails.
Whereas, men and women with the
long. narrow type of nail are invet-
crate Missionaries, those having short
nails are almost always conspicuous
by the strength of their logical pow
ers. 1t is the latter who make the
best and most reliable critics.
A further and almost certain char
acteristic Of long-nailed people is their
intense depreciation of themselves
and their own efforts in any branch
of work. The feeling almost amounts
to pessimism with them. Such a
point Of view, however. seldom wor-
ries those possessing short nails. In
fact, more often than not rather the
reverse is the case; they are inclined
to be oversure of themselves.

Heights Of Lions and Tigers.

Three feet or a little over is the
real height Of good-sized lions and
tigers, and when sportsmen realize
what an extra six inches or nine
inches added to the stature involves
in increased length and general bulk
to balance the known proportions OF
the animals l am equally sure they
will admit that no lion ever scaled
anything like four feet at the shout
der, and that the height measure
ments of dead specimens give quite
false idea of the actual heights Of
the animals in life.
The following are the heights at the
shoulders of some of our larger fell

Draft Animals, Except the Human
Kind, Are Absolutely Unknown
In Mombasa.

There are no horses or draft ami
mails in Mombasa; the ny ie too dead
ly. Therefore all hauling Is done by
hand. The tiny tracks OF the unique
street-car system run everywhere any
one would wish to go, branching OF
even into private grounds and to the
very front doors of bungalows situated
far out OF town. Each resident owns
his own street car, just as elsewhere
man has his own carriage. There
are, of course, public cars also, each
with its pair of boys to push It, and
also a number of rather decrepit rick
shaws. AS a natural corollary to the
passenger traffic, the freighting also is
handled by the blacks on large, fat
trucks with short guiding poles. These
men are quite naked save for small
loin cloth; are beautifully shaped and
glisten all over from the perspiration
shining in the sun. So fine is the
texture of their skins, the softness' of
their color, so ripping the play of
muscles, that this shining perspiration
Is like a beautiful polish. They push
from behind, slowly and steadily and
patiently and unwaveringly, the most
tremendous loads of the heaviest
stuffs. When the hill becomes too
steep FOR them they turn their backs
against the truck and by placing one
foot behind the other, q few inches at
a time, they edge their burden up the
slope.-Stewart Edward White, IN
Harper's Magazine.

There was once a wise woman who
realized the possibilities of health for
her husband and children at the fam
lily table.
She had learned by experience that
pleasant conversation should wait on
digestion, just as good digestion on
appetite. Nutritious food she provided
in variety day after day, but she went
further than that She made it a
point that meal time should be hours
of refreshment even more for the mind
than the body.
Robert Louis Stevenson recognized
humor to be a saving grace In that
beautiful morning prayer of his.
Help u.s. he says, ito perform the
petty round of irritating duties and
concerns with laughter and kind faces,
to go blithely on the business Of the
day; to let cheerfulness abound with
industry"
So the wise woman had every pain
ful topic promptly dismissed at her
board, and business cares and burdens
were not so much as limited at. Bright
and gay talk only was cultivated by
common consent.
The children were never scolded nor
the father of the family called to book.
1t was not found difficult to keep the
talk in pleasant channels, and the
effort was amply repaid both at the
time and later.
