LONG FINGER NAILS
indicate Rank and Good Breeding in
Many Oriental Countries.
The countries where the long finger
nail is most affected are Slam, Assam,.
Cochin China and China. The approved
length varies from three or four to
twenty-three inches. A Siamese exqui
site permits the nails on his fingers to
grow to such an extent that his hands
are practicallly useless. The aristo
crats who affect these nails can not
write, dress themselves, or even feed
I themselves.
The Siamese hold the long linger nail
i in the same reverence we hold the
i family tree. Many of them never have
j had their nails cut from the day of their
i birth. On the first finger the nail is of
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 to
: grow long, after reaching a certain
; length curves around like a corkscrew.
In both China and Siam the owners
1 of long nails wear metal cases over
j them to preserve them, made of gold
or silver, and jeweled. While long
i nails are not regarded as singular in
China, they are rarely met with ex
cept on fanatics and pedantic scholars.
Among the fakirs in Hindoostan a
: peculiar custom is that of holding the
hand tightly clenched and in one posi
' tion so long that at last the nails grow
through the palm, emerging at the back
of the hand, and growing thence al
most 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 nail is regarded as
indicative of good breeding. The aris
, tocrats constantly subject their finger
1 tips to cedar wood fire to insure a good
growth.
The inhabitants of the Marquesas
Islands 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 that the hand-would look as though
incased in a tight-fittig glove were it
not for the finger nails of enormous
; length which complete the hand adorn

The famous woman, Annie S. Peck,
who has been noted as having scaled
the Matterhorn and broke the record
on Mount Orizaba, going 8,600 feet into
the clouds, wore flannel undergar
ments, a waist of serge, a woolen
sweater, knickerbockers and leggings
of sage-green duck canvas, which she
made herself. She wore the heaviest
kind of winter boots, and a shoemaker
in Switzerland put an extra piece of
heavy leather over the whole lower
part of the shoes, toes and heels, and
then nearly covered them with nails.
In many of her trips she has worn fur
topped gloves, but for the Mattea-horn
she wore woolen mittens. A substan

and veil, as well as smoked glasses,
complete her outfit. She takes the pre

rlELD THE FORT
John Barleycorn Proved Too Much ior
a Hand of Hostile Indians.
An adventure with hostile Indians,
seldom surpassed iu critical peril and
excitingsituation, was that of a French
Canadian some years ago at Fort Pierre
au Calumet, on Lake Athabasca. One
day, when the chief trader was absent
on a visit to York factory, and the
other men employed In the station were
playing lacrosse upon the ice, this man
and an Irishman named McTaggart
were the only persons left in the fort.
Just then forty Chippewa "braves"
who had pretended to have furs to sell,
but who had really beeu watching an
opportunity to plunder, came up to the
fort and poured inside the stockade.
Pierre, the Frenchman, had barely
time to bar the main door when they
rushed against it, showing plainly their
unfriendly purpose. A parley with the
chief, through a small side-trap, re
sulted in the withdrawal of the Indians
outside the stockade and an agreement
to admit the chief alone, with' the furs.
Pierre thus relates what followed:
I instructed my man, McTaggart, to
watch when the Indians were well out
of the yard, and when the chief came
in to make a dash and fasten the outer
gate. I then opened the door. Mc
Taggart slipped out, but had not made
one step when the chief struck him
with his tomahawk, killing him in
stantly. The savage then darted
through the half-open door, and, parry
ing a blow I aimed at him, he seized
the bar which fastened the door and
threw it outside.
I had by this time got hold of one
of my pistols and pulled it at him as
j he came toward uie, flourishing his
I bloody tomahawk. The bullet took ef
j feet, for the savage, with a frightful
yell, staggered through the doorway,
I where his cries soon gathered his band
about him.
Before I could fasten the door the
whole gang had burst Into the fort.
1 sprang behind some casks and hid
myself there, feeling, however, sure
that they would find and kill me.
There can be no doubt about my fate
If the savages had not been more eager
for plunder and whisky than they were
for vengeance.
As it was, one of them at once rushed
to a cask of whisky, the head of which
he stove in with his hatchet, and with
the greatest eagerness the whole
crowd began to help themselves to the
contents.
That they would drink themselves
drunk was now my only hope and op
portunity, and I quietly kept out of
sight behind the empty barrels to await
events. v
The Idiotic abandon and general
"cutting up" of the savages as they
came under the influence of the whisky
was very ludicrous; but you may be
sure I kept my laughter to myself. In
an hour all were hopelessly intoxicated,
except one "big fellow who seemed to
have a stronger head than the rest.
I now felt that with my pistol in my
hand I could fight at least on equal
terms, if a fight was necessary; but the
rascal precipitated matters by turning
over the cask of whisky while climbing
to reach some plunder that he wanted
on an upper shelf- In doing this a
live coal was jarred out of the stove
into the liquor on the floor and the
room was immediately In flames. The
Indian who had caused the catastrophe
sprang toward the door, but my pistol
ended his career.
The whisky was soon consumed, as
there was but little left, and the fire
was put out without doing large dam
age, but many of the drunken savages
on the floor were fatally burned. When
the men came back from the lake and
found so many dead Indians and saw
the general ruin they were amazed,
and supposed I deserved all the credit
of the capture of the assailants, etc.,
when It was merely an accident that
bad accomplished it.
A Peter the Great ' Boom."
We are about to witness the outbreak
of a boom on Peter the Oreat similar to
that which has raged for some years
round the person of Napoleon. Sir
Henry Irving, with all the world open
to him, has chosen a play on Peter the
Great, written by his son. Prof. Oscar
Browning is about to publish a life of
the Inevitable Peter; and J. M. Gra
ham's historical novel, "The Son of the
Czar," has already attracted consider
able attention, and will certainly be
widely read, as it gives a powerful pres
entation of Russian life at the most
critical epoch of Muscovite history.
There Is something significant in this
renaissance of Peter the Great. The
smaller states of Europe are vanishing,
one by one, and everything points to
eventual collision between the Teuton
and the Slav. In the meantime every
thing that Holy Russia and the anoint
ed person of the Kaiser can do to mag
nify their respective missions will cer
tainly be accomplished. Harper's

REASON OF HER LONG LIFE.
Queen Victoria's Longevity and Health
One to Regularity.
An eminent physician of this city who
aas recently returned from London,
tvhere he had opportunities of learning
aiuch of Queen Victoria's habits of life,
is of the opinion that not only her
longevity, but also her wonderful ex
smption from the ills and aches to
ivhich humans are ordinarily sub
ject, are due to the fact dt the extra
ordinary regularity which is followed
in the daily routine of her majesty's
life. Nothing makes a differeuce in
this routine, tor everything is arranged
by rule aud compass. In a fashion
which no incidents whatsoever ever
.nterfere with. The queen rises every
morning at the same hour and retires
it the same instant every night, her
meals are served to the second, while
tier drives and airings are regulated
with the same punctuality; indeed, the

for its accurate appreciation of time as
is that of his royal mother. The prince

The great waterfall of Juanacatlan is

itself an artist's dream of rural de

Having traversed perhaps two-thirds

gradually becomes conscious of a low,

cataract 3G0 feet in width for a sheer

For a time the mind is apt to be held
in rapt contemplation of the spectacle;

jxqulsite effects and weird vagaries of
che foaming, falling waters. At the ex

' Shore Cargoes that Shift.
"Once in a while we read," said Mr.
Bozzle, "that the ship So-and-So or the
steamer So-and-So has returned to

we see a land craft, a truck, with cargo
shifted a big pile of boxes, towering
high, shaken over to one side or the
other by continued Jolting along on
the side of the street on the slope.
"A load thus shifted can't be shaken
back by running along on the opposite
slope of the road; It is like a stick of
wood that has been bent and kept bent

with it the crook stays in.
"If care is exercised in turning cor
ners and in navigating generally, the
shifted load can usually be carried to
its destination as it is without upset
ting, though It may work harder; the
experienced truckman .knows just
what can be done with it, and whether
It has shifted so far as It will go, and
all that. If it is so badly shifted as to
make the operation of the truck diffi
cult or dangerous, he hauls to one side
by the curb and anchors that is to
say, he halts and nnloads the shifted
top courses of his cargo and then re
loads and makes everything trim and
secure and sets out again."

Chinese Commercial Wealth.
The progress of China in the last 60
years is well illustratetd by the fact
that when the Yangste valley was
opened, about that many years ago,
$500,000 represented all that the Chi
nese could buy or sell to foreigners,
and a few small vessels carried all the
freight and passengers. Now all the
annual foreign trade of the Yangste is
valued at over $100,000,000, and a
larger fleet of ocean uui1 local craft ply
between Shanghai and Hankow than
