IMPROVING THE NOSE.

Science and cocaine are accomplishing
wonders. I know of a young man who had
q pieco of bone extracted from his nose
without the slightest sense OF pain. In fact
he was not aware the operation had boon
performed until the doctor showed him the
piece of bone. Cocaine is being utilized in
more ways than one TO assist surgeons in nc
complishing difficult operations 1t has been
known to crafty the vanity of people. l
know a gentleman now in Newport, one of
the swells of the place, who drives stylish
trap on Bellevue avenue every afternoon,
who has much to thank cocaine for. His
nose has been bone of contention, as it
were, with him for several years. 1t has
troubled him because he thought it was too
long, and that to shorten it might improve
his face. He consulted well-known ply.
stefan about having him curtail the length
of his proboscis and the physician said he
coyld do it successfully and without pain.
Last winter short piece of his nose was
taken from him and this summer he was
again o subject for his physician's care, and
by the aid Of cocaine another piece of bone
was extracted without pain. It has i'm
proved his appearance, and as he has not
told everybody about the success of the
operation, other Newport noses which might
find doctors saw, with the assistance OF
cocaine, beneficial, remain unchanged.

EXPENSES OF BUSINESS.

A well informed merchant, Of Boston, re-
cently said to representative of Boston
newspaper that he had been looking back
over bis accounts, and was surprised 10 find
that since the close of the war there had
been steady increase in the ordinary sx-
penses Of carrying on business. That this
increase Of business expenses extends beyond
the merchant to the manufacturer and most
other kinds of business is fact patent to
most employers. Mere office work costs q
great deal more now than IL did in 1866
more clerks are needed, and, on the whole,
each of these receive higher pay. Assistance
is required in the receiving and delivering
departments to an extent and of character
that would not have been dreamed of two
decades ago. Then there are variety Of
incidental expenses that now enter into the
computation. There are telephone charges,
printing, the expense of solicitors, the
whole making up an amount sufficiently
large to eat up all that would have been
considered fair profits quarter of q GEN.
fury ago. The tendency, all the time going
on, to lessen the hours of service, both in
offices and workshops, of itself makes the
cost of business proportionately higher.
Competition is sharper than II was ten or
twenty years ago, and prices are so much
reduced In most commodities which enter
into the necessities Of household that me-
chanics, clerks and others are enabled to
live much better now than it was possible
for them to do ten or twenty years ago,
when their wages were less and the cost Of
living was greater. sea se

OLD FAlrHFul.
A Visitors Account of she Famous yellow
stone Geyser.

About S O'Clock in the evening of the sec
ond day we reached the Upper Basin, where
the largest and most interesting assortment
of geysers are found. There are fourteen
spouting geysers OF this place, all within
radius of less than one mile. The Old Faith
full is the chief attraction, not by reason of
Its magnitude, but on account of its regu-
larity. When I reached the hotel, asked
one of the workmen at what time the Old
Faithful would ego off," He looked at his
watch and said, '' In about fifteen minutes"
1t is situated not more than forty rods from
the hotel. I walked through the intervening
grove OF fir trees and sat down as near as
deemed il safe. A light column of steam
was rising from the low crater at the sum.
NIT of mound perhaps half an acre in ex-
tent. Presently gurgling sound was heard
down in the vortex, followed by Jet Of
water three or four feet high. Then there
was pause of three minutes; then came
column Of water filling the entire crater
two by six feet, which rose about twenty
feet and fell back to the place whence it
came. In another instant the grand erup-
ton began. The same column rose in O
rapid and continuous stream, gradually
tapering in size toward the top, to the
height of 100 feet, sending off a great cloud
of steam, in the centre of which the column
of water could be distinctly seen. This
maximum height was maintained about halt
a minute. Then very slowly the column
descended, reaching the level of the crater
in six minutes after the eruption began.
Then the lazy steam began to curl from the
crater again. went in to supper intending
to be on hand in exactly one hour to wit
ness the next eruption. At that time sal
lied forth again, but was chagrined to see
that the eruption had already begun and
was half concluded while was looking for
my hat. I returned to my room and smart
shower of rain come on, accompanied by
thunder and lightning.
I was scarcely seated when my guide came
running in, saying, the Castle Is going
off," This is geyser 80 named from ths
resemblance which its crater bears to cas-.
lie. II was throwing large column of
water about fifty feet high. We dashed out
In the rain to get nearer view Of this mag
nifcent spectacle Its distance from the
hotel was quarter of o mile. When we
reached the place, the eruption had nearly
ceased. When It had entire subsidized, a
steam eruption began, producing roar
ing noise like that of half-a-dozen ocean
steamers blowing of at once, and this con.
tinued for two or three hours without inter-
mission.
Witnessed seven eruptions of the Old
Faithful, all occurring at intervals of fifty.
Ave to sixty-five minutes, but did not see any
other of the larger geysers in operation sx.

SLAVES IN CIVILIZED COUNTRIES.

In Germany women do most of the men,
ial ut-of-door work.
A woman was seen recently in Naples
carrying coffin ON her head, chatting gay
ly with man who walked empty handed at
her side.
Not unfrequently woman and COW are
seen together pulling q coal cart through
the streets of North German city, man
touching them up, gently TO be sure, with
whip, as he walks beside them.
In Denmark it is not unusual to see wo-
man high up in q cherry tree picking the
fruit, while man lies at the foot waiting to
place the ladder when she shall be ready to
come down with her burden.
In upper AUSTRIA" writes correspond
emit, II saw slight and very pretty young
girl carrying the mortar up TO the second
story Of O building, while man waited to
put it in place when she arrived.
A correspondent reports having seen a
woman in Holland drawing canal boat,
bent nearly double with leathern harness as
she trudged along the towpath, man sit
ting at his ease in the boat smoking.

At every street corner there is patroimarl,
night and day-not o patroiman, either, for
ne never moves. He stands like q statue

the lamp post, and answers inquiries with

sets o lantern in the middle of the street.
and all carriages are compelled to keep to
the right of the row of lanterns, which can
be seen glimmering from one end of the
street 70 the other. As long as people are
passing he stands at the corner, but when
things quiet down he retires to neighbor-
ing doorway, wraps his blanket around him
and lies down to pleasant dreams As all
the windows Of the City of Mexico hav.
neavy prison-like gratings before them,
and all the doors are great oaken affairs,
that could not be knocked in without
small cannon, as there are never any nres,
and everybody goes to bed early, the police
mans lot is usually q happy one. He is
numerous because of revolutions, and be-
cause the Government always wants TO know

THEY WANT TO KNOW.
Wemsn who Employ Detectives TO Shadow
Their Husbands and Lovers.


Their Husbands and Lovers.
The opening of private detective agency
in the midst of the fashionable retail trade
of New York, where the throngs have ten
women to one man, caused comment o year
ago. Now there are three such concerns In
the same neighborhood, and each covers
the front of a building with bright lettering.
The fact is that wives have taken to the spy
system of learning about their husbands
and it is not at all unusual for maidens to
use the proffered facilities for acquainting
themselves with the actual characters OF
their sweethearts. In order to get at the
subject asked q bright girl to call upon
one of the agencies, with the ostensible er-
rand of wishing to have n man Swallowed.
This was her experience A boy met her at
the entrance and ushered her into small
room, where man politely gave her chair
and inquired what he could do for her.
She replied that, for personal reasons, she
desired to know where and how q certain
gentleman spent his time outside business
hours.
That is IN our line of work." was the
afable reply. Give us q description of
the person, and tell us where he can be seen
for we have TO first get spot on him ;
that is, identify him, so as to know whom
to follow. If he Is in an Office or store
will send detective on some sort of pre-
tended errand, and then this man will
point him out as he quits his business, to q
second, who will shadow him as long as or
dered. Our charge is SO day and expen-
ses. such as car fares, admissions to places
Of amusement, drinks in q barroom, or
whatever may be requisite in order to keep
him under surveillance without exciting
suspicion. II is safer TO employ two men,
for that guards against his clipping out of
view-a thing that will sometimes happen
in case he goes into some house by one door
and comes out by another. In that case
the charge is double, of course. For GIG
o day we will cover the gentleman with two
faithful detectives from the moment he
leaves his home in the morning until he re,
turns at night, reporting you in writing
every movement of his, and notifying you by
telegraph or messenger, if desired. on To-
eating him in any place where you might
care to get proof positive by confronting
him."
The manager further informed her that,
in order to prevent the use of his detectives
for Matchmaking purposes, his necessary
rule was to be told who she was and why
she wished the spying done. He added
that if she disIiked 10 explain to him, he
would send woman in to hear the facts.
There would seem to be no ihsnrmountablt
barrier 10 the detectives themselves turning
blackmailers. The impression of the regu.
lar police, however, is that these agencies
or, at least, the conspicuous ones-are con-
Quoted legitimately, if such word can DO

THE ETIQUETTE OF TITLES.

Returning to our mutton of White House
calls, a certain etiquette Is to be observed
In addressing the President, either in per-
son or by letter, which many strangers TO
Washington seem to know not Of. The
proper title is, "Mr. President" and all
such titles or words as Your Honor"
Your Excellency," or President Cleve-
land" are considered as in extremely bad
taste. Massachusetts, calls its Governor
Your Excellency," and the Lieutenant
Governor Your Honor" but the President
of the United States is simply The Presi-
dent" In letters to him the address, +" The
President, Executive Mansion, Washington,
d. c." is all that is necessary, and more ID
improper. As to the members of the Cabi-
net, in private conversation you address
them as I" Mr.. Secretary of the Treasury"
Mr.. Attorney General" &c. But in writ
ing the proper form is, for instance, " Hon.
Thomas Bayard, Secretary of State, WASH
ington, d. O." In writing TO Senator you
say in formal epistle, Mr.. Senator" and
you address the outside of your letter for
instance the Hon. John A. Logan, Senate
Chamber, Washington, d. c." Members
of Congress are addressed by their last
names with Mr.. But IL one of them has
ever had n decent military title l beg you,
if you want any favors, to give him the full
benefit of the title. BY decent military
title mean anything above the rank OF
major. In case of doubt always aim higher
than you think instead of lower. You may
call a Congressman who has been colonel
general and hatter him, but II you call
MIN captain he will scowl at you and never
forgive you. No class of people are more
EASILY fattered than those whom the world
regards as great men, Washington Corrs.
