The speaker thereupon named

After the uproar which attended
this pas sage between. the Dublin
editor and the prime minister had
subsided, Thomas Sexton, home
ruler, rose to point OF order. He
was snmmarlly overruled by the
speaker. A division was then called
upon upon Mr.. Gladsuone's motion
to suspend o. Brien. Ii resulted In q
vote OF IA for tho motion and but 20

vote had been recorded, ordered o.
Brien to wiShdrawS from the house.
O'Brien arose, Strengthened himself
up to his fall height, and exclaimed
with great precision and sarcasm,
"Certainly, sir; I; will withdraw

A DOCTORS STORY.
How Nose May Be Given a More
Stylish Shape.

oty 1lSA SHdpcs
''The nose Is simply piece of car.
tilage," said q surgeon, recently, land
Its shape can be changed with ease.
A clever Frenchman, some wears
ago, invented a machine for that pur-
pose, aud l haye heard made for
tune by it. Many people are trou-
bled with noses whose shape does
not please their owners, or their
owners friends. The machine con-
sisted of g. small shell in two parts,
hinged together. Tt is In shape in
side that of q perfectly modelled nose,
according to the features Of the
wearer. Thus you can obtain a
Roman, Grecian, retrousse, aquiline,
or any other shape you desire.
To apply the instrument the
nose is first bathed in warm
water at bedtime and thoroughly
heated and sottened. Then it is well
creased with olive oil, glycerine, vase
line, or other oily substance. Finally
the nose-improver is fixed on and
the sides clasped together, and the
wearer keeps it on all night, taking
care in the morning to wash in cold
water only. 1t is rather painful
process at first, but after the first two
or three applications of the improver
there is no more trouble. In about =
month the nose begins to take its
new shape, and at the end of from
eight to ten weeks the alteration is
said to be perfect and permanent
that is. until the patient becomes
tired of that particular shape and is
desirous of having another, when the
same operation with another instru-
ment is necessitated. have known
people to change their noses four or
five times In as many years. In that
way a man could change the style Of
bis nose as often as he changed the

VERY NASTY.

He is leaning against the wall Of the
grocery. Look at the puddle all around him
on the sidewalk See his dripping jaws
Look at his bedribbled shirt bosom, vest and
trousers. The lady is trying to pass She
has on a new dress, with clean white skirts
She holds up her dress in horror, and SHES
around that puddle as though it was small
pox, or a snake. She will be lucky if the
fellow does not actually expectorate upon
her beautiful silk dress.
He is a tobacco chewer. -
He travels on the cars sometimes. When
he does so he splatterS the floor within a
yard around him. A bad smell comes up
around the place. If you happen to look
that way you get so sick you don't know
what to do. Your insides roll as if you were
seaSici You feel as though, if your dear
est friend on earth chewed and spit tobacco,
that you never want to come within mile
of him again. You remember that in trav.
cling all through Europe you never saw a
man chew tobacco or spit upon the floor, or
anywhere elsS. Nobody but Americans spit
incessantly. Boys remember, it is not neces-
sary at all 1t is only habit, and the sick
eningest habit Americans have. Don't get
in the way of it if you want to be called
gentleman.
When the disgusting tobacco splitter comes
to his journeys end he goes off and leaves
his place empty. Decent people shun that
seat as If it was plague spot. Ladies look
at it, draw back their skirts, and look awfuly
sour. Good gracious! They'd rather stand
for two or three hours than bring their
pretty clothing in contact with that filth.
When this fellow was boy he thought it
was smart" to learn to chew tobacco and
squirt and expectorate all over creation.
He thought it looked big and manly. Now
that he is a man, he would almost give his
head, sometimes, if he'd never learned. He
can't expectorate in parlor, in church or
any place where nice people are, and he is in
torment il he is not rolling his quid In his
mouth, like a cow chewing her cud. He
would give the world to quit it, but he
can't II you ask him, and he gives you an
honest answer, he will tell you so.
Boys, the only way is never to learn in the
first place.

What are the favorite names for
girl0-apart, of course, from the &C.
knowledge supremacy of Mary? This
has long been disputed question, and
there, is, perhaps, no way of settling it
but by going deliberately into statistics.
Such an opportunity is given in long
list of names printed yesterday of grad>
yates and distinguished pupils at
the Normal School. We have had
the curiosity to analyze the list of 300,
and, disregarding pet and diminutive
names on principle, and throwing aside
initials of necessity, We extract these
fairly trustworthy figures of cases
where names are favored to the extent
of 5 each or upward. Mary leads off
with 30, but she is rather closely press.
ed by Anna with "a. Elizabeth is
third with II, and Laura is a good
fourth with 16. Margaret 10, and
Katherine II, are the only other dou-
BILE figures. Then in order come these
choices of names: Helen 8, Emma s,
Lillian s, Clara 7, Jane 7, Harriet 5,
Florence 5. So apt are people to go
in droves that it is quite likely these
proportions would hold in 5000 names,
or in any number, as well as in 800.

Of culture is usually considered the best, 1t
is described as follows in The Southern Cul-

years in getting good crop. Dry, sandy
soil, with clay or gravely subsoil. Break
to 10 inches during winter. Use the follow
ing compost: $50 cart loads woods mold or
fence scrapings, Is bushels cotton seed, 800
pounds Carolina phosphate, and 200 pounds

post in the drill, and run small pillow
through compost In the drill, mixing it and
the soil well Ridge with a good turning
pillow three or four burrows to the row, drag
with light drag and plant on fresh made
row; plant as early in the season as possible,
the sooner the better; place plants 20 inches
apart In the drill Cultivate twice with cot
ton pillow. Clean out all grass and weeds,
and hill up when vines reach the bottom of
the ridge Several times have reached 400
bushels per acre, and made no failure. The
quantity of compost above is for one acre"
In the north, at least in many parts, it is
now about the time for setting out the sweet

they root at the joints, hoe handle should

Once there was little girl who all through
her childhood kept looking for humming
birds nest. Every June when the bright
wild, fitting creatures came she watched
them day by day, and tried to follow them
to their homes. Once she caught one of the
birds, and examined him as if he had been a
shining creature from another world. After
looking at him carefully she let him go. He
flew away to his gay, futtering friends,
frightened almost to death.
But in all her childhood the girl never
found the nest of one. At last after year
had passed and the child was grown wo
man, one day she found the humming bird
nest 1t was cuddled close in cluster OF
honeysuckle, here as you see in the picture
She had hunted for it twenty years.
The nest is very small, no more than an
inch across. 1t is often found under the
leaves Of an old apple tree 1t is entirely
covered with lichens such as grow upon the
rails of old fences. Thus hidden, it would
not be apt to be found by the sharpest eye
The inside of the nest is built of soft fibres
from plants. The most beautiful hnmming
birds are found in South America. More
than 800 varieties of them are found there.

Where Love Endows.

Woman's World.
Men come home utterly discouraged;
their best efforts have failed; self.esteem
has sunk within them until hope is
quite extipguished. What does wo.
man do under such circumstances?
Just what she ought to do. She re-
wives his waning manhood by praise.
She shows him every particle Of her
own loving recognition of all there is
in him. She who knows him best of
any, whose love has never admitted
the existence of his faults, now tells
him in her own way how good and
how truly greathe is. He may beneither
good nor great, except as her love and
confidence endow him with goodness
and greatness, but the endowment is
genuine; the man arouses to find him>
self the possessor of gifts he hardly im-
agined, and with newborn strength,
goes to work in a way that conquers
obstacles, and makes his life success.
Gloomy indeed must the household
be where woman's divine faith in man
is imperative; where it fails to infuse
and inspire him with the courage that
makes him feel himself the peer Of
other men.
