A Large Nose

Aud SO, my fair correspondent, you
have an unduly prominent, nose. and WISH
70 lessen The Size Of that feature, II pos
siblc7 | am afraid the evil is beyond
human remedy. Experiments with spring
clothspins and compressors result only N
confusion. While on exaggerated mouth
may be modified aha al expansive ear
toncealed, the nose must be left to itseli,
naked TO the eve Of criticism and the
teeth Of the north wind. But take COM
fort. A prominent nose is not so unlove-
ly thing on the face of a lady, and
Langtry bangs and plenty Of fluffy lace
around the neck will materially aid m
casting the unduly prominent feature into
shape. The pages Of history and the
records of royal houses are full Of deeds
Of brave men and triumphs of fair women
whose noses were as incorporating as
your own. Caesar, Charlemagne and Ma
poleon, Semiraris, Queen Elizabeth and
Catherine of Russia, all reieiced IN an
overgenerous nasal prominence. Why
should their physical antitypes, of lesser
fame and broader culture, regret the mark
of distinction which nature has placed in
eradicably upon their facesl Ii fashion
IS at odds with such a feature then the
wise woman will compel fashion to yield
to it, and will avoid the straight-haired,
STRAIGHTFORWARD order of attire which
renders her nose too conspicuous. She is
bound in justice to herself to do this
The fashionable rage for novelty has much
to answer for with regard to the desecra-
ton Of ''thc human form divine" 1t has
alternately bleached and blackened the
hair and given to deadly poisons a per
mancnt place on the toilet table. 1t has
squeezed the feet twisted the ankles and
prescribed a gate that is half waddle and
all wobble. But 50 long as no question
IS made of introducing the board of the
tiatheads and the foot bandages of China,

dubious, bcakish, tiptilted or "sharp as a
pen, will be permitted to remain untouch.
ed. If you preserve an easy temper, eat
wholesome food and exercise properly,
your nose need never cause you moment
of worry. Whatever its shape it will be
exactly suited to your other features, and
your face will present d perfect har-
mony of outline, Left to itself and not
vitiated 10y bad blood or a diseased mind,
this nose or any other nose, will be pre-
clsely as it should be. Unvexed nature
never makes mistake in these matters.

With each day that passes the news
paper grows more and more an educator,
and tho extent to which it has become so
can hardly be realized. A few years ago
it was considered luxury, but there are
few homes now thaa are so poor as not to
count newspaper among its belongings.
In fact, it is the principal reading. A
business man, weary with care, will hest
tate about beginning book. 1t seems a
herculean task to go through with all
those pages, attractive though they may
appear, but he will take up his paper and
then lay it down at any moment without
hesitation. In the intervals of housckeep-
ing cares the wife catches it up and reads
an article here and there to learn what is
going on in the great outside world. The
boy and girl want to see each days news,
and so the daily or weekly journal goes
the round of the family while the book
rests securely upon its shelf.

Brown Stone.

"Theres gentleman, " said dealer in
building stone, "who has just ordered a
lot of brown stone for house he is build
ing. Iwonder what he would say if |
should tell him that he was merely buying
sections of an old mud flat, to pile up.
The poor Irish use peat and the million
aire uses mud fiat, extra dry and very
ancient. All the brownstone, " continued
the dealer, "comes from what we call the
new sandstone, and it is about as well
represented in Connecticut as anywhere.
In parts of it you will find the tracks Of
huge animals that walked along the shore
millions of years ago; even the raindrop
and the smallest insect track are preserv-
ed with as much accuracy as if they were
made only yesterday. In fact, this brown
stone represents the deposits of fresh
water streams; it is the beach and bottom,
the sand that sifted down and gradually
hardened in untold ages"

A French Girl Eats Sixty Eggs In
Forty-nine Minutes on a Wager.

The people Of Oakland have long
boasted Of ''our glorious climate" beau
tiful residences, fine scenery, delicious
fruits and fine stock, and they may now
add another specially to the already long
list, to.wit, the "boss" gourmand.
A few days ago French girl named
Josephene DE Lafontaine, who works in
the French Laundry at 1918 San Pablo
avenue, after finishing hearty dinner,
made novel wager. She made bet Of
$40 that she could eat five dozen eggs in
an hour on top of her dinnar. The 9TH
er employees accepted the bet and 1t was
agreed that the losing party should pay
for the eggs. The ''hen fruit
was procured from grocery near
by, and Josephene set to her
task. The first ten disappeared
in good style down the girls neck, she
swallowing the eggs raw as they "slid
down easy" On the eighteenth egg she
was nearly "fioored," as she almost
swallowed an odariferous half-hatched
chicken. She claimed this to be foul
and said her companions must not try
tnat game again. Ihe 10Th egg was
evidently laid last fall and almost made
her close her grip" The champion egg
consumer divided the remaining 80 eggs,
taking one e-half fried and the remainder
beaten up and drank. The feat Of swal-
lowing the 90 eggs was accomplished in
just 40 minutes, with eleven minutes to
spare. The girl was sick the next day,
and said she dreamed all night that she
was being put in an incubator. Oakland
