wise provision and will be helpful to the
churches and aid in carrying out the chief
object of the American Bible Society and
its Auxiliaries, which Is to seek out the
needy and destitute and supply them with
the Holy Scriptures without note or COM

This institution Is doing large and good
work. As an instance: one Of our pastors
who il Interested in the good of our Next
can population, wanted Bibles and Tesla
ments for them, but the San Marcos Aux
iliary was unable to furnish them. An ap-
plication was made to the Parent Society,
endorsed by the President Of the San Mar
cos Auxiliary, and three dozens of Bibles,
in value $15 90, were at once donated by
the Parent Society for this commendable
work. ff-s

this State These with the 20 colporteurs
at the expense of the Parent Society, put in
circulation annually over 80, 900 copies OF

its building at New York. It also employ
ed 377 colporteurs in foreign countries, and

4 CAMP-MEETING DAILY

The first edition of the Camp-Meeting Daily NEWS was published in 1878, and for five years successively during the week of the meeting daily paper was issued from the office of the NEWS, con- taining complete report of the pro- ceedings at Pine Grove.
 The issuing of daily paper in con- nection with the regular weekly edition of the NEWS required so much extra labor, anxiety and expense and as there was no necessity for publishing special daily camp-meeting sheet, it was aban- doned, and the session of 1882 was the last one represented by the Daily NEWS.
 The Pittsfeld Evening Journal is making arrangements for publishing a report of the meetings in their regular daily edition, thus furnishing not only a camp-meeting daily but giving the news from the outside world also. The papers will be for sale by newsboys and at the post-office on the camp-ground, where the papers may be engaged in advance. Price cents each.

The balloon ascension at Minsted

The balloon ascension at Winsted
 was made July %. The daily papers
 far and near, also the county papers in
 this and neighboring states have pub-
 lIshed long accounts of the affair. This
 is the first issue of the NEWS since said
 ascension was made but at this late day
 1t is unnecessary to give an extended
 account of it. The balloon belonged
 to Alfred B. Moore of Winsted. This
 was MT Moore's second ascension and
 accompanied by Prof Brooks, who has
 made over 160 ascensions, he started
 from Winsted at six minutes before one. An immense crowd had assembled to witness the ascension. The balloon rose slowly and gracefully aud foated in 8 northeast direction. In less than 15 minutes 1t was lost to view in a cloud, but subsequently, appeared and was wis., ible for ten minutes when it disappear cd in the distance. The aeronauts en- countered terrific thunder storm and at 12 minutes before were compelled to descend and landed on the farm of Alison Holcomb in Granby. In making the descent they were dragged 15 or 20 rods. Neither of them were seriously injured but they received some bruises. They returned to Winsted on the 5.15 P. M. train bringing the balloon with them. W. M. Deming, photographer, West Winsted. made some views of the balloon and the assembly. He has sent us one of them, and judging from his letter accompanying it we infer that Prof Brooks and MT Moore will soon make another ascension and MT Dem- ing will accompany them. We quote from his letter as follows !" I am hay ing camera made on purpose for talk ing views from the balloon. I do not | know when we shall go up; shall prob ably go up from Waterbury. I shall try to make some views from the bottom of the basket showing how the earth looks to the inhabitants of the air. If 5he experiment proves successful will ,end you some."

Changing the Style of Noses.

1.-The nose is simply piece of cartilage"
said surgeon yesterday, ''and its shape can
be changed with ease. A clever Frenchman,
some years ago. invented machine for that
purpose, and, have heard, made fortune
by It. So many people are troubled with
noses whose shapes do not please their own
ers or their owners friends. The machine
consisted of a small shell in two parts, hug
ed together. It lis made of iron, japanned
or enamelled. 1t is in shape in
side that of u perfectly moulded nose, ac-
eording to the features of the wearer. Thus
YOU can obtain Roman, Grecian, retrousse,
acQuiline or any other shape you desire.
To apply the instrument the nose is first
bathed in warm water at bedtime and thor
oughly heated and softened. Then it is well
creased with olive..1oil, glycerine, svasseline,
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 appli-
cations Of the improver there is no more
trouble. In about month the nose begins
to take its new shape aud at the end OF from
eight to ten weeks the alteration is said to
be perfect and permaneut-that is unless
the patient becomes tired of that particular
shape aud is deSIrous of having another,
when the same operation with another in
strument is necessitated. / have known
people change their noses four or five times
is as many years. In that way a man could
change the style of his nose as often as he
changed tie cut of his trousers
