LONG FINGER NAIvLs._—" indicate Rank and Good Breeding in‘ Many Orientalflountries. The countries where the long finger nail is most afiected are Siam, Assam, Cochin China andChinn. The approv- ed length varies from three or four to twenty-three inches. A Siamese exquisite permits the nails on his fin- gers to grow to such an extent that his hands are practically useless. The aristocrats who affect these nails can- not write, dress themselves or. even feed ' themselves. ‘ L The Siamese hold the long finger nail ini‘rthe‘ same reverence we hold the _ family tree. Many of them nevet;hnve' had their, nailscut from the day of — their birth. On the first finger the nail isof moderate length—three or fOur inches—while .on the other fingers 'the' nails, grow occasionally to. two feet:- The thumb nail, which is also allowed ~Ito grow long, after reaching a certain . length curves around like a cork- screw. In both China and Siam the owners of long nails wear metal cases over them to preserve them, made of gold or silver, and jeweled. While long nails are not regarded as singular in China, they, are rarely met with except on' fanatics and pedantic,scholars. Among the ‘fakirs in Hindoostan, a. peculiar custom isthat of holding the hand tightly clinched—and in one po- sition so long that- at ,last the nails grow through the palm, emerging at the back of the hand' and growing thence almost to the wrist. When the ’ wasted muscles refuse to support the arm any longer it is bound in position with cords. In Nubia the long naisl is regarded as indicative of good breeding. The aris- tocrats constantly subject their finger tips to cedar wood fire to insure a good growth. - The inhabitants of the Marquess. Isl- ‘ ands are among-the most expert tat- tOoers on earth, and not even the crown of the head, the fingers and the toes are exempt from the needle. The hands are ornamented with utmOst, care, all the fingers having their own pattern, so the band would look as though incased in a tight-fitting glove were it not for the finger ' nails cf enormous length which complete thé hand adornment of the wealthier'nav fives—Chicago News. ABOUT ROYAL FEET. Queen Victoria “fears a No. S—The Em- press of Germany SplayJJ'ooted. Though it is an accepted fact of Spanish etiquette that “the Queen of Spain has no feet,” so much cannot be said of Victoria, Empress of‘ India. Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. Short and pudgy as she is—something under five feet—the royal lady wears a No. 8 as do all her daughters. Therein she shows her German blood —-as does Maria Christina, Spain's Queen Regent, who is by birth an Austrian ,archduchess, Her prede’Ces. sor, Mercedes, a true Spanish Bourbon albeit the daughter of the French Due de Montpensier, had, it is said, the foot of a fairy. Therein she resem- bled her aunt and mother-in-law, ex- Queen Isabella, 'who, though of most unwieldy figure, possessed in her youth royally delicate extremities. It was one of her great-grandmothers Whose beautifully slender foot, trim ankle and highly arched instep,'drew from a foreign Ambassadors compli- -~ ment, which the; Spanish Minister to whom it was spoken, answered so crushingly, “Senor, the Queen of Spain has. no feet.” , ' . - Germany’s Empress, it is irreverent- inclines 'to be splay- footed, though otherwise'ishe is a well made woman.

Dewey Got Even with Farragut.

The lieutenant smiled and held his? tongue, but the admiral had a guilty conscience.

The most stylish Leghorn hats are :rimmed with many short, very full 05- trich plumes, all white, all black, or else in flack and white mixtures, black velvet ribbon ties, the clusters of feath— ers near the brim and over the crown, and on shepherdess shapes. This trim- ming is also carried to the back of the hat. Pretty Leghorn hats worn re- cently by the bridesmaids at an ont-of— . town wedding were laden with rose vines, thorny stems. and velvety maid- en-hair fern mass about the crown and down to the very edge of the brim. The Popular Skirt. Notwithstanding the appearance of many other modeis, five and seven- gored skirts remain in great favor. The fullness at the back of some of these skirts is disposed in fan pleats; on others it elonelv massed. , _ The President’s Possible 03w. ' “Just after President McKinley’s in- auguration he had his relatives who were in the city at a family dinner at the White House. It was a large com- pany, and a very good dinner. Dear old Mother McKinley was there, but she was not very talkative. She was too happy for words. But she kept a sharp eye on the dinner, and no detail of it escaped her. She was impressed by the quantity of cream served with the fruit and coffee, for she looked up at her son in her sweet way and said: “ fiWilliam, you must keep a cow now-n ‘ ‘ . “Some of the younger members of the family party found it difficult to sup- press a smile, but: the President, with his usual tact and ~graciofisness, re-- plied: | . - “ ‘Yes, mother, we can afford to have a cow now, and have all the cream we can possibly 'use.’ ”—L’ady’s Home Journal. , ‘ , w .. ‘ -3."ng is adjusted by gather.
