Beauty of the Nails.

The average girl or woman does not
realize how many Of her beauty prob
lens are really health problems, so she
sometimes expects too much from the
beauty specialist who. after all, is con-
cerned with only the externals of per-
sonal appearance. One problem that
comes to my mind in this connection
is ridged, brittle fingernails. Readers
often ask me what they should put on
such nails to make them smooth and
am afraid that they feel disappointed
when tell them that no external ap-
plications are effective in this case.
A clear idea of the structure of the
f1ngernail will help you to understand
why a beauty specialist cannot cure
your ridged nails. The hard, translu-
cent part of the nail we see has no life.
It grows upward from the bottom or
root that is concealed under the skin
This root or matrix and the nail bed
that we see showing pink through the
nailplate are supplied with many small
blood vessels and nerves. It is upon
these nerves and blood vessels that the
health and beauty of the nails depend.
Injuries to the nerves and poisons in
the blood stream may so harm the
matriX that it ceases TO produce new
material for a time, or, If only part
of the matrix Is affected, the nail grows
out lumpy and ridged. Fevers and Sc
we're illnesses may cause such injuries

FIGHT WITH A CANNON.
BY VICTOR HUGO

continued to be battered and more
damage was done.
The end of a broken chain was
left hanging from the cannon. The
loose end flung wide as the cannon
lunged making its spurts ana darts
more dangerous. 1t made the cannon
like whirlwind with an iron whip
in its hand. But the man kept on
though sometimes the cannon seemed
to suspect capture and flee away.
At last, by a trick, the cannon was
caught. 1t was sliding toward the
man, threatening to crush him. Inc
crew cried out in horror. Then a small
packet of something, by a quick-witted
man, was thrown under the wheels
with accurate aim. The cannon
lurched and stopped. 1t clogged the
wheels The gunner plunged his iron
bar between the spokes of a wheel and
the monster was held fast.
It was ended The man had won
The sailors clapped their hands Inc
whole crew rushed in with caoles ana
chains. The cannon was lashed INTO
place once more.
ShipWreck was avoided, but the ship
was in a bad way. Sore damage had
been done. 1t might be hard to weather
bad storms. Several pieces of the bat
terry had been lost. The cannon had
taken five lives The gun-deck was ter
rible to behold. The inside of the cage
of an angry elephant could never look
worse
The gunner who had first let the
cannon get loose, and then had dis
played such extraordinary courage in
mastering it, was brought before the
commander. He was honored for his
courage with a decoration of the cross
of Saint-Louis. The sailors cheered.
The mariners presented arms.
Then the commander said: NOW
this man shall be shot"
A hush followed the cheering. There
was a death-like stiffness. The COM
mander said, so all could hear:
"Carelessness has put this vessel in
danger. 1t may mean that the ship
will be lost. We are at sea. and prac-
tically before an enemy. This is war.
Death is the penalty for any act which
endangers our lives. No fault can be
excused. Courage has been rewarded
now it is necessary that carelessness be
punished"
The gunner. looking at the soldiers,
accepted his doom. Let 1t be done, :"
he said.
