ONYCHOMANCY.
The Art or Divination by the
Finger Nails,
A Dootor Says There U a Growing Graze
for Long Rails.
“in these days of chirognomy and
chiromancy nud all the other ologics
and ancics relating to people’s hands
and heads and noses and cars, it is sur¬
prising that no one has ns yet revived
tho old art of onychomancy," said a
South Side physician the other day to a
Chicago Herald reporter.
“What is onychomancy? Well, it is
tho art of divination by the nails, and
was much practised by somo of our j j
Biany-times-great-grandfathcrs, I think
in the eighteenth century. The most
learned and distinguished of onychomnn-
cists was Jerome Cardan, who was con¬
sidered as great an oracle in his day as
Mr. Heron-Allen is at preset, though
Cardan never made such pratical use ol
his reputation as the wide-awake English¬
man has done. He was a languid, blase
Parisian, always inventing some new ;
method for making life endurable— j
methods, by the way, whose only merit J
would seem to be originality. |
“Monsieur Cardan found relief in j
Onychomancy. He devoted a great deal
of time to the art, and became quit*
proficient in it. He himself was the
proud possessor of extraordinarily large
sails nails so magnificent in volume and
ahape that he counted them as ‘one ol
the four eminent gifts bestowed upon
him in order that he might bo d.stin-
gnished from the rest of mankind.’
“By means of these nails he is said to
have foretold his future almost exactly,
finding it traced out upon them almost
as plainly as in a map For instance,
omens o il presented themselves m the
form of lmd or black mark9 on the nail
of ^ the , forefinger, , while ,,, marks , perfectly „ ,,
white in the same place were prognos-
tics of coming good fortune. Specks on
the thumb nail meant approaching
honors, and riches were heralded on the
nail Of the index finger. The size color
and precise location of the different
specks were all matters of the greatest
“Did you know,” he Continued, “that. !
the Jews held some extraordinary opin-
ions about nails? They used to believe
that before the fall, the bodies of our
first parents were perfectly transparent,
and that of these lucid envelopes of the 1
aoul our nails were the sole surviving
remains. Curious belief, wasn’t it?
You wouldn’t care to bo so exquisitely
transparent yourself? Neither shoutd I.
“This long-nail craze is growing more |
and more fashionable, isn’t it? I notice
some of my patients wear regular claws,
atid the more fashionable the woman the j
longer and more pointed her nails. I J j
suppose it is founded on the Chinese
idea that long nails are indications ot
gentility, since they are inconsistent
with miy mechanical employment or
such a vulgar pursuit as working for
one’s bread. I’ve read that in Nubia
the long finger nail is considered an
indisputable proof of good birth and
high rank; so much so that the aspiring
Nubian who wishes to get into society
and belong to the upper ten thousand
constantly exposes his or her fiuger-tip 8
to cedar tires, a process which insures
the expansion of the nail. It seems to
me that we are fast descending, or as¬
cending, as you choose to call it, to
the Nubian standard, sinco length of
nail really seems to bo taken as a crite¬
rion of good breeding. I heard a friend
of my daughter the other day talking
about a young lady who has lately
moved into the neighborhood.
“ ‘I don’t think she can be much,’ said
the young woman.
“ ‘Why?’ was asked.
k t Well, 1 happened to see her with
her glove off and her nuiis were quite
short and round,” in a disgusted tone.
“Have you permission to use the in--
forma'ion about onychumoncy? Oh, by
all means. My daughters heard me talk¬
ing about it the other day, and since
then they have been hard at work study¬
ing up all the books they could find on
the subject. To tell the truth, 1 pur¬
posely awakened their interest in it with
the idea that a liitls talk about ‘red
specks’ and ‘black specks’ would be n
relief from the eternal chatter upon
‘head lines’ and ‘heart lines’ and what
not which I have been compelled to listen
to for the last six months.
The lluwk Got Worsted.
.-.Two little boys that 1 happen to
kDow of managed to get a hold of three
or four pair of squabs about 15 months
ago, and now they have a flock of
about eighty pigeons. A hungry hawk
managed to slip up on the pigeons one
morning. Singling out Brownie, he
' made a dart for the veteran. Brownie
flew directly at the window of the little
boys’ room, followed by tho hawk. At
the window the pigeon made a turn of
indescribable swiftness, and ti e hawk
went crashing through « window pane.
It so happened that a caged mockiug-
bird was hanging in the room, and the
sudden appearance of the hawk caused
Dick to give utterance to shrieks that
could be heard a quarter of a mile. The
hawk, nothing dazed by his experience,
made an effort to get at the bird and
mounted the Cage for that purpose. Dick
fell on the floor of his wire parlor and
made the house resound with his shrill
cries. Then the little boys appeared on
the scene and they soon put an end to
the hawk.—[Atlanta Constitution.

Clover hay is one of tho best of foods 1
for sheep. Sheep that are old and out
of condition will improve surprisingly
on clover hay, and aometimes become
quite fleshy.
One thing appears to hftve been pretty
well demonstrated on the Kural’s experi¬
ment grounds, viz: “That a largei
quantity of potatoes, as well as potatoes
of a better quality, can bo raised with
chemical fertilizers than with manure.”
Somo of tho large mutton breeds of
sheep, such os Oxfords, often shear from
twelve to twenty pounds of wool, and
this fact, with their ability to attain very
heavy weights, should be a strong in¬
ducement to farmers to use rams of mut¬
ton breeds for crossing on the uativu
ewes.
Several correspondents state that dis¬
ease among swine is checked by a change
of pasture and food. One in Divi#
county, la., says: ‘‘Hogg are fed on
blue grass until ready for fattening,
when they are corn-fed, which probably
is the reason for their exemption from
disease.
Turkeys are capable of rapid diges¬
tion, and are always apparently hungry.
If allowed to forage they can be kept at
a very small expense, but when kept in
confinement they consume more than
hens. When young and growing they
produce a carcass equivalent to the food
consumed.
Jn trimming a hedge something else
should be considered as well as the mat¬
ter of cutting off the extra growth. A
proper shape should be given it. There
is nothing so attractive or ornamental us
a shapely, well kept hedge, and it adds
value to the farm.
The Ohio agricultural college states as
the results of experiments there in soil¬
ing cattle that half the number of
acres will feed the same amount of
stock and keep them in better condition
if the product be cut and placed before
them. Nevertheless soiling is not every¬
where
Best Way to Apply Poultry Hanaro.
If every farmer and every keeper of
fowls, even on a city lot, only knew how
valuable poultry droppings really are
not a handful of them would ever be
allowed to go to waste. A single table—
spoonful where needed will make a
thrifty hill of corn, where, without it,
there might be only a sickly growth of
puny stalks. Prof, Voelcker, of the
Royal Agricultural Society of England,
advises as the least expense and the best
way of using poultry manure to mix it
with dry earth, and the like into a com—
post. Mixed with about twice the quan-
tity of dry, earthy matters of this kind,
it will soon be reduced into a fairly dry
and powdery state, in which it may be
readily sown broadcast or with the drill,
and found useful in growing any kind of
garden vegetables. For root crops, such
as turnips, carrots and mangels, it is ad¬
vised that poultry manure is mixed, after
reducing to a powdery state, with nn
equal weight of superphosphate, and the
mixture dHlled in at the rate of 500
pounds to the acre. In making poultry
manure into compost with earth, Prot'.
Voelcker warns against mixing quicklime
with it, as the effect would be to liberate
the ammonia, the most of which would
escape and be lost. On the other hand,
he recommonds as a positive advantage
mixing soot with this compost. In the
absence of soot, the next best thing, in
his opinion, is to mix in burnt plaster to
which a small quantity of superphos-
phate is added, the free acid of which
will eventually prevertt the escape of
ammonia. A mixture of two parts burnt
plaster and one part superphosphate may
be kept in readiness to mix with the
fresh'chicken droppings for the purpose
of absorbing the excess of moisture and
thus facilitate its being reduced to dry
and friable nature. Three parts of fresh
chicken manure and one part of the pre¬
ceding mixture of burnt piaster and
superphosphate if kept under cover for a
few days and turned once or twice dur¬
ing the time, and then passed through a
screen or seive, will be found to be moro
efficacious when applied at the rate of
from 600 to 800 pounds to the acre. —

Don’t compel your hoises to cat musty
hay. It will produce fatal luug trouble,
and, in any event, heaves.
No oil penetrates wood so well as
crude petroleum, none is so cheap, and
none so effective as a preservative.
Prof. Cook of Lansing, Mich., has
killed cabbage worms with a mixture of
one pound of bubach with 200 gallons
of water.
One use for old tin cans is to cut them
up into strips two or three inches wide
and tack them over mouse holes in the
house or barn.
It has been shown by experience that
a pig digests a larger percentage of
grain, converting it into animal increase,
than a steer, cow or sheep.
A Connecticut farmer is credited with
shooting hogs in the forehead with a
small rifle, which he considers the most
humane method of slaughter.
It seems to be admitted that one can
breed for eggs just as one can breed for
milk or butter, An egg from a good
layer will be moro likely to produce a
good layer than an egg from a poor
layer.
An excellent mixture of hay for all
classes of stock is one-third clover hay
with timothy and redtop, which is much
better than cither one alone, as the mix¬
ture is more complele in food elements.
It should be fed with an allowance of
ground grain also.
A Western New Y'ork farmer who buys
sheep from the West to fatten in the fall,
says he last year made a profit when his
neighbors made none, by buying split
and colored beans, which he fed with
corn, instead of an all corn ration. He
says two-fifths beans with corn, make a
sheep thrive and fatten faster than full
ratioqs of corn.
There is no necessity for expensive or
elaborately built poultry houses. All the
ornament that can be applied will
amount to nothing unless hens are kept
warm. A poultry-house that is low at
the rear, and is so constructed as to ad¬
mit of as little loss of heat as possible,
with plenty of light, will give better re¬
sults than any other.
Save all the bones. They are valua¬
ble for fertilizers in any form. Even
when placed whole in the soil the roots
of plants will be sure to find them. If
broken in small pieces they will afford
more food to plants, and if finely ground
or dissolved in moistened wood ashes or
sulphuric acid are rendered still more
available for tho use of plants.
A Western fnrmer advises stringing
seed corn by tying the ears together with
husks in some place where the grain can
be saturated with coal smoke. The
odor, he says, repels squirrois aud
worms from eating the seed. The seed
comes up quicker, the plants grow niora
vigorously and ripen several days
earlier than from the sped not so treated.
Where corn is left out in the stook
through the winter the greater part of
the value is lost. Rains aud melting
snows soak and drain the stalks of their
nutriment, while inside tho stook mice
pursue their ravages without fear of
their numerous enemies. A family of
mice will easily destroy one-quarter of
the value of the corn in a stook through
the winter. This is a pretty heavy tax
to pay for delaying work that costs fully
as much to do in the spring as it would
to do in its proper time iu the fall.
One of the arguments in favor of
threshing corn is that it also shells it at
the same time. But it does this very- im*
perfectly, as tiro corn is usually damp
when husked, and it is not possible for
even the best shelters to take off all the
grain. But a worse objection than this
lies in the fact that where corn is
threshed and shelled as well as husked
it does not keep as well as when it i s
put in the crib on the ear. There is
much dampness in the grain or new corn,
and it needs tho circulation of air which
it gets in the crib when on the cob to
dry it out.
Sherman aud the “Youngest Soldier.”
Gen. Sherman is famous for his
brusque manners. He has nover allowed
the effete and luxuriant East to tame his
wild Western nature. A few years ago
he was at a big meeting of the Grand
Army of the Republic at St. Louis,
when a young man approached him and
said:
“General, you don’t know me, but I have
known you a long time. I suppose I was
the youngest soldier who served with
you during the war, and I want to shako
hands with my old commander.” Gen.
Sherman looked at tho young man a mo¬
ment, and said: “My friend, I suppose
at least 1000 men have claimed the honox
of being the youngest of my soldiers.’’
How old where you when you entered
the service!” “I was just 13,” was the
response.
“Well, if you were only 13," said
Gen. Sherman, “all I have to say is that
you had better stayed at home with your
mother.”—[Atlanta Constitution.

Richard Penhtan has just been ad¬
mitted to the Forrest Home, in Philadel¬
phia. He was s rich'irim a few years
ago, but has become almost n beggar.
He and his wife were of English birth.
They were members of the stock com¬
pany of the Arch Street Theatre, and
played important parts before Wheat
icy and Drew became the lessees, died about long
1852. Mrs l’enistan, who
ago, was also a playwright, and several
of her plays were represented on tho
American stage. Soon after the dissolu¬
tion of the old Arch street company Mr.
Ponistan opened a drinking place. IIo
lmd a large patronage, ami in the course
of time accumulated a good deal of
money. In 1878 tho official announce
ment of the drawing of the Royal Ha¬
vana Lottery informed him that his $100
ticket had drawn $506,000. At this
time he was the owner of sixty two
horses, many of them very valuable. In
company wi h his friend Whitney tho
brewer, Mr. l’enistan at on e went to
New Y’ork and placed the ticket for
collection with August Be mont, receiv¬
ing in cash, after some delay and litiga¬
tion with Mr. Whitney, who claimed a
share of the prize, which was, however,
disallowed by the courts, $120,000
Upon returning to Philadelphia, Mr.
Penistan sold his place on Cliestnnt
street, with a portion of the stock, for
$54,000. In all he had undoubtedly at
least $500,000. He was a genial man
and had many friends some of them
true ones, who advised him to put half,
il not more, of his money in a trust fund.
Instead of this he began operations on lie
Third street. Inside of t*o years

$300,000. His dealing in hoises, too,
went on all the while, and he lost heav¬

lie was, besides this, badly defrauded
by the agents who ran or trotted his
horses in races, aud his blooded colts
when sod at auction, although well ad¬
vertised for aud of irreproac buyers hable combining pedigree, not
went a so g,
to bid against each other, and dividing
up the poorly paid for stock afterward.
In fact, lie was remorselessly skinned by
horsemen, and in less than six years was
reduced to a bare living upon the in¬
come of some few investments he had
made in his wealthy days. This finally
was exhausted and for Some years past
he has been indebted to the kindness of
friends for his subsistence.
He, however, bred some noted horses,
one of which, Grafton, a trotter, with a
record of 2 :15, was sold-to Robert Bon¬
ner for $15,000. Mr. i onner also bought
his Lady Stewart, with a record of 2:28,
the fastest time up to then that a three-
year old had ever made.
In his prosperous days, too, he oc¬
casionally appeared upon the stage in
heavy tragedy, hiring the house him-
self and playing with a good deal of
spirit, and not without approval, and he
now finds a home in the pleasant retreat
endowed by the great actor, of whom
he was a most fervent admirer. All his
friends believe that if Richard Penistan
had not drawn that lottery prize he
would to day be a wealthy man.

vertisement in his village paper be¬

to him double what he pays for it. Ad¬
vertising rates of the city newspaper
would astonish such business men. One
column in the Chicago Tribune costs the
advertiser $26,000 per annum. The New

$30,568, and for its highest price for $62,-
980 The New York Tiibune its
lowest $20,054, and for the highest $84,-
