WHITE LINES IN FINGER-NAILS German Medical Expert amy Ther Are mm Indication of Dea-eneraejr, A medical writer in the Frankfurter "Zeitung gives some curious particulars about the white lines which cross An ger nails. These are signs of disturb ance In the organism at the time they were formed. They often form during serious illness. The proportion of normally consti tuted persons who have these lines on their finger nails is from tea to 11 per tent, while 46 per cent, of criminals have them. 47 per cent, of the demi monde, 43 per cent, of Idiots, and 60 per cent of lunatics. Sufferers from melancholia show a large percentage, tout the largest percentage 75 is among those who are periodically dan .gerous lunatics. The writer comes to the conclusion that these lines denote some degeneracy of the upper nervous system; that they the not purely physical, but are con nected with physical, moral, and intel lectual change. Why Nat ton Wear Colon. Did it ever occur to you that the imnch of colored ribbons you wear in your buttonhole or pinned on your dress, if you are a girl at commence ment, or at a baseball or football game, is really a flag? It tells to what class or school or college you belong, or which of these, for the time, has your interest and sympathy. And for somewhat sim ilar reasons do nations wear thrir c ni. ors, says St. Nicholas. At first maybe u was to tell one another apart; but After a while the colors the flag came to represent the nation Itself; and the way the people acted toward th na tlon'a flag was supposed to show the way they felt toward the nation.

Bare Frodaeed Fowl of All Staea ad Colore. The American Standard of Perfec tion as drafted and copyrighted by the American Poultry association, eon tains the names of 110 varieties of fowls, 115 of which are due to the de velopment of man. God made only one a homely, wild thing, which made its home in the jungle along with the rest of primeval creation, says a writer on the Great American Barnyarfl, in Leslie's Monthly. By in telligent breeding fanciers hare pro duced fowls, of all sizes, from the diminutive bantam to the mammoth bronze turkey; one a tiny bit of feath ered vanity, weighing only a few ounces, and the other a bulky fowl weighing from 40 to AO pounds as much as a half-grown boy. Results equally wonderful have been accom plished in color effects. There are varieties in red, black, brown and white, with nearly all possible com binations, beside buff and Andalusian blue. The fanciers have shown that they can lace, stripe, spangle or bar the feathers of their birds in any way to satisfy their individual fancy. In fact, about all they have left undone is to put their initials on the feathers of their birds. Makes digestion and assimilatfon nr- feot.

Lots of funny things are left by the carelessly disposed in queer places, but about the oddest find of this sort re corded recently is that of Will Webb, cashier of the Missouri savlnrs bank who waa, until it was called for, the unwilling custodian of a man's wooden leg, which the owner bad left on the bank's counter, says the Kansas City Journal. "He came in the other day," said Mr. Webb, recently, "and left an elongat ed package or the counter when hV departed. When it f?S3 Noticed and brought to me it seemed heavy, so in the hope of ascertaining its ownership I opened It, only to find that it waa a wooden leg I Tou can Imagine my sur prise. "My first thought was, how could the man have walked away if he left his leg here? But then I remembered that it was wrapped up and concluded that be must have been wearing an old one. So I put it away until I could trace the ownership. Sure enough, next da in came a man who asked the teller if he had left his leg here the day before. The teller was startled, but managed to refer the man to me. and I soon put him in possession of his extremity. "Lots of funny things are left here: up to then the queerest were a clari net, on wmcn I couidn t play, and a woman's petUooat, which I couldn't wear. Both were called for later on."
