bitten, shapeless nails. Biting the nails isa bad habit. It may lead to very bad sores on thefinger ends, and it may also carry disease into themouth. There is no better mark of tidiness abouta boy or a girl, than clean, well-shaped finger nails. Hang-Nails.—Sometimes a little narrow strip ofskin near the root of the nail is torn up and hangsby one end. This is called a hang-nail, and it isvery sore and painful. Biting off hang-nails makesthem much vvorse. They should be cut off close tothe skin vs^th sharp scissors.

Harmful Clothing.—Tight clothing always harms.There is no unused space in the human body. Agirl needs just as much room for her liver, stomach,and lunfys as a bov does. Tio-ht
