The Sun Of a WOman's Life,

An occasional parsonage in society
is the young woman who does not in
the least care for the companionship of
other women. To her an afternoon
tea or chen lunch" is like soup with
out salt. 1t does not at all matter that
the women may be bright and clever,
leaders of fashion or notables in
worldly way; after ali they are but wo-
men, and all the bright talk, all the
ready smiles, all the grace and charm
of manner that are current coin at
such gatherings, are but awful wastes
OF raw material. If she is person
lacking in refinement she does not
nearly disguise her Impotence, her alb
solute WEAKNESS, her conviction that
hours spent with them are lost. And
even If she is tactfu! it is often appar-
ent that her mode and manner intend
gracious patronage, and the gentle en-
durance of boredom that she cannot
escape. When the men come in it is
like the lighting of theatre by cleo
tricity. All the dimly guessed at femi-
nine attractions flash into view. There
are' smiles, laughter comes readily, re-
partee is quick, and archness most
arch. To this young woman the man
is rs a glass of champagne. He is lit
orally and figuratiyely the sun of her
existence -NcW orleans Times Demo-

The Destruction OF the Homestead.

The old "gambrel-roofed house" ex-
lists no longer. l remember saying
something, in one of series of papers
published long ago in this magazine,
about the experience of dying out of
house-of leaving it forever, as the soul
dies out of the body. We may die out
of many houses, but the house itself
can die but once; and so real is the life
of house, so real TO one who has
dwelt in it, more especially the life of
the house which held him in dreamy
infancy, in restless boyhood, in pas
sionate youth-so real, say, is its life
that it seems as if something ike
soul of it must outlast its perishirg
frame.
The slaughter of the ''old gambrel-
rooted house was, | am ready to adj
init, a case of justitiable homicide. Not
the less was it to be deplored by all
who love the memories of the past.
With its destruction are obliterated
some of the footprints of the heroes
and martyrs who took the first steps ia
the long and bloody march which led
IS through the wilderness to the prom
sed land of independent nationality.
Personally, l have a right to mourn
Or it as part of my life gone from

Decline of the Nose.

Someone has invented a process for
the reduction of large noses. The in
ventor was struck by the alleged fact
that noses on which spectacles are
worn are, as a rule, small noses. He
thereupon formulated the theory that
the pressure of the spectacles on the
bridge of the nose in1erferes with the
free circulation of blood and that this
interference deprives the nose of nour-
ishment and prevents its growth. In
accordance with this theory he now
proposes to reduce the size of any given
nose by placing metallic clamp on the
bridge. This clamp. if worn every
night, will, as he believes, reduce the
largest nose to moderate proportions
within reasonable length of time.
There are two or three weak points
about this alleged invention. One of
these is that the theory on which it is
founded has no support in fact. Some
OF our most eminent noses are those on
which spectacles have been worn for a
lifetime, and among our smallest noses
are some on which spectacles never
have rested. That spectacles of one
sort and another are worn much more
generally now than they were fifty
years ago, and that noses have I'M
douhtedly grown smaller during the
same period, is undoubtedly true, but
it does not follow that there is any con-
nection between the two facts.
The gradual decline of the human
nose is the result of the introduction
and general use of handkerchiefs. The
Romans never used handkerchiefs, and
their noses, as we all know, We're of
the largest and finest type. Moreover,
they were less liable to colds in the
head than are people of the present
time, and their noses enjoyed almost a
sinecure. AS civilization advanced
northward from Italy the inhabitants
of the cold and variable climate of
northern Europe found that their noses
were constantly called into activity,
and as consequence the average
European nose fell below the Roman
standard. Within modern times the
handkerchief was invented, and new
and potent factor in the reduction of
noses thus came into existence. Con-
slant friction will wear away the hard
est stone, much more the soft and car
tilaginous nose. Under the friction of
handkerchiefs the noses of the present
century have steadily diminished, until
small noses are worn almost as much
as spectacles.
1t is a question whether it is desirable
ever to reduce the size of the nose.
Greatness of intellect has in all ages
been closely allied to greatness of nose,
and the man who, having been gifted
by nature with a nose of true nobility,
should desire to dwarf it and his intel
lect at the same time, would deserve
no assistance in his foolish purpose

Lawyers.

Lawyers are the most trusted and
distrusted of men. They are the men
who make contracts and unmake them;
who give advice and sell counsel; who
make money out of trouble and make
trouble out of money;who create estates
and distribute them legally; who live
by loaning money and often subsist on
borrowed capital; who hear and con-
ceal marriage secrets, and later drag
out faded love letters in bitter divorces;
who are pleased and persuaded by the
lucky, but often go out of court branded
and dispraised by the side defeated
and. with one side always the loser,
and generally both, what wonder that
the slurs of character fall to the current
lot of a lawyer!
Without the smiles of the merchants
customers, he meets the frown of BUSH
ness men in trouble. Fortunes are to
be saved or lost He must win the
victory or bear the blame forever. The
lawyer is like the builder who knows
that, be it ever so perfect, the elaborate
house he has finished can never quite
suit the proprietor.
He carries the double burden for self

have failed in, urged to mend the broken
pieces of foolish contract, bound to
account for confessions in letters, asked
to replevin goods already secreted, to
attach the effects of a malicious mer-
chant, to unearth fraudulent elections,
to reclaim (encumbered) estates from
veIatious tax-titles, to keep one for
years in plenty by restored possessions
and broken wills-all by lawyers art
and eloquence!
He is fated from the start to unccr-
tainty, where clients exact no less than
absolute victory and long wish il rea-
sonable, while they know it is only prob
able. BY logic and argument, on the
theory of their client, with the facts
only partially stated, and that part
deeply shaded, they are to explain away
their defeat, if it come in the end, by
TRADE on the perjury of opponents
witnesses and the depravity of human
nature.
Happy lawyers! They are men who
live so easily, flourish so long on the
bounty of grateful people, make the
laws and settle the titles, defend the
weak and enjoy the rich fruits of the
worlds praises and abuses, mingled
and commingled in such rare harmony
that none can define where censure
ends and approval commences W.

A Cleveland co. machine company
has the first and only auger ever
manufactured that will bore a square
nole. Its application is ordinary and
works on the same principle as round
hole augers. Its end. instead of having
Z screw or bit, has a cam motion
which oscillates a cutter mounted on a
steel rocking-knife which cuts on both
sides. In order TO prevent the splint-
cring of the wood the ends of the cut
Ter are provided with small semicircu-
lar-shaped saws which help in cutting
out perfectly square corners. 1t is es-
timated that this new process will
save the labor of three men who work
with chisels. An Ohio man was the
inventor.
