A Nose FaShiOner.

DIR. Cid, an inventive surgeon of Paris,
noticed that elderly people who for a
long time have worn eyeglasses support
ed on the nose by spring are apt to
have this organ long and thin. This he
attributes to the compression which the
spring exerts on the arteries by which
the nose is nourished. Not long after
ward young lady of Is consulted him to
see if he could restore to moderate
dimensions her nose, which was large,
feshy and unsightly. He took exact
measurement, and had constructed for
her "lunette prince-nez" "a spring and
pad for COMPRISING the artery-which
was worn at night, and when she con-
viently could during the daytime. In
three weeks consolatory elimination
was evident, and in three months the
young lady was quite satisfied with the
improvement in her features. This story
recalls Captain Marryatts chronological
developer.

Whittier's Slow Popularity,

An intimate friend of Whittier says
that Muzzey of Cornhill BOSTON, bought
the poets copyrights years ago for $500
and percentage on the sale of his
books, and by putting them in neat cov-
ers made them quite profitable, to the
poets amazement. Ticknor & Fields
made an arrangement with Whittier after
Muzzey's death, and put him in blue and
gold, but he had little benefit from these
because of the 81 200 he had spent in buy
ing back the copyrights from Muzzey's
estate. Snow bound" which the au-
thor thinks rather Indifferent piece of
verse, surprised him by its sudden popu-
larity, which foated his other poems
also, so that one winter morning he could
remark to visitor: "Thee will have to
excuse me, for l must 60 to the office of
the collector" Then with humorous
gleam in his eye, he added: Since
fSnow-bound was published l have risen
to the dignity of an income-tax."

DRY DOCK

A YOUNG gentleman attached to a
western paser went to hear Miss Abbott
sing, and this is the way it affected him !:
" Miss Abbott is beautiful as an angel,
and was dressed in green. Her voice is
grooming her only babe to sleep, and
strong as a tempest when it roars in the
forest and smashes the monarchs of the
woody wales. Listening to her, the soul
is lifted ON the wings of infinite joy, and
scars INTO the realms of eternal glory.
When she ceased singing We fell back
again to earth, and were as stunned by
the conclusion as though me had fallen
from the topof four story house or been
hit in the stomach by 3 mule"
