What Your Nails Show.

While finger nails cannot be regarded
as undoubted guides to character OF
health, they do indicate the temper OF
| the subject.
Nails that are large and white mark
revengeful disposition, but one who
instead of~acting hastily, takes times to
plan revenge.
Large nails usually accompany good
business qualities, while quick mental
apprehension is shown by bright nails.
Short, rounded and very white nails
show a cynical nature, while nails pointed
at the base indicate a disposition easily
offended and quick to fancy sights.
A short nail on the little finger points
to the owner having strong sense OF
humor-one quick to see the oddities Of
others and with excellent powers of MINI
icry.
Short, red nails are not desirable pos
sessions. They indicate an irritable dis
position. But sweet temper belongs to
the owner of filbert-shaped nails, pale
pink in color. Should they be red, a
hasty temper is shown, but temper that
is soon over.
Finger nails are genuine indication
of health. Bad circulation is signaled
when the half moons are very small, or
when they are overdeveloped.
Nails that are very thick show delicacy
in the possessor, while high, curved nails
are among the signs of consumption.
White spots on the nails indicate suf-

Troubles of Deafness.

A certain Londoner is growing more
and more deaf, and greatly dislikes te
admit it. He makes brave pretense OF
understanding what is said to him, and
this frequently entails amusing mis-.
takes. Not long ago a neighbor met him
and said:
Perhaps you haven't heard about the
agreeable visitor that arrived at our
house yesterday fine baby boy-a per-
feet cherub?"
The deaf man smiled pleasantly and
replied;
"Oh, we have lots of 'em at our house.
My wife gets them by the bushel. Stews
em, you know, and puts 'em up. She
put up more than 40 pots last summer.
Yes, indeed"

"Sir!" cried the indignant neighbor.
The deaf man heard this.
"What are you talking aboutf"
"Why, cherries, of course" he pleas
antly remarked. "That's what you said,
isn't it'"
But the neighbor walked away without
explaining.

Canned Goods Precautions.

The value of preserved foods is hardly
realized by many housewives, yet for tbs
busy woman who has to map out every
minute Of the day, they are invaluable
says the Irish World. Canned foods are
always ready to hand, always cooked
and even when they require relocating
can be placed on the table in very short
time, the preparation of the dish simply
occupying the time needed for the heat,
ing purpose.
When fresh food is difficult to obtain
or else unobtainable, housewives viii find
that canned foods fulfil all requirements
Certain precautions are, however, neces-
sary. Always purchase preserved foods
from reliable firm, and also see that
they are put up by good maker. Glass
| containers are naturally the incest, but
| if the tins are in good condition there il
no danger in eating preserved foods which
have been put up in them.
Never buy preserved foods if the tins
are bullying or look in a bad condition.
If there is very strong rush of air when
the tin is pierced, examine the contents
carefully. If the meat shows holes and
bubbles, do not eat it. Something has
gone wrong with the canning. Once the
tin is opened the contents should be
turned out and never, on any account,
returned to the tin again. The action
of the air upon the juices of the food
and the acids of the tin produce poisons
which are harmful and which may even
destroy life. If, however, the preserved
foods are placed Immediately in china
dish or basin no dangerous results need
be feared, and the contents of the tin con-
tainer will be just as wholesome as if
they had been put up in glass.
The variety of preserved meats, soups
and fruit is almost endless, and dinner
can be prepared with ease from canned
foods. The soups are particularly useful.
In small household they frequently
save the trouble and time required for
making soups, and, as they have only to
be turned out of the tin and heated care
fully in an enamelled saucepan, they can
be prepared in few minutes. Cold
meats and fish of all kinds make lunch
quite an easy meal to arrange. There is
nothing nicer than preserved tongue,
served with dainty salad, and followed
by preserved fruit for a simple meal,
whether it be lunch or dinner. A tin of
preserved behring's turned into a sauce
made with tomatoes, butter and little
water, and thoroughly heated, makes a
delicious and quickly prepared supper
dish
Canned fruits are usually eaten as they |
are without further cooking, but it is |
possible to make delicious sweets with |
their aid. Fresh peaches and apricots are
to buy, but the preserved fruits !
are quite cheap, and can be used with
advantage in the making of many of the |
recipes to be found in cookery books. A
delicious sweet is made by taking slices
Of stale sponge cake and cutting them
into rounds, place on dish and pour
some of the peach syrup over. Lay half
/ peach on the top of each round and en-
,ircle with meringue favored with
lew drops of lemon juice. A red-hot
shovel held over the meringue will set
{, without the trouble of using the oven.

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy
