An Argument FOR Prohibition.

hC tlnlC has CothC VI
the liquor traffic when the stuff is 80
adulterated, and filed with SO many
various kinds of poison, that it Is un-
safe to drink it at all; and this probably
more than any other reason, has been
instrumental in exciting such wide
spread and growing opposition to the
manufacture and sale of it. Formerly,
when it was manufactured in its purity,
man could drink it for lifetime and
never be seriously impaired by its eff
fects; but now, such II the poisonous
compounds of which the drink is COM
posed, it requires but the lapse Of a few
years indulgence to set a man a raving
maniac. He becomes an imbecile, and
i'm many instances loses his mind alto
gether and is sent to an asylum to be
treated as an insane inebriate. In an
other instance man comes to town,
and i'm little while he becomes inflated
with half pint or SO OF the pop skull, !"
and then the first thing he wants to do
is to kill his hest neighbor. The effects,
ther, fore, of its manufacture and sale
are becoming so pernicious that even
those who indulge in its use most freely
are, in many instances, its most active
and jealous opposers. Only those who
have used it to an excessive and in
furious extent are fully prepared to pro-
nounce upon its dangers; and, surely, if
that class of men are ready to advocate
its abolition from the land, it will be no
deprivation to the man who does not
use it to let it go. Hence, the conclu-
sion is, to an impartial observer, that
the history of the liquor traffic in Amer
lea is rapidly approaching Its end.
How do You Like Your Nosef
The nose is simply piece of carti-
lage, and its shape can be changed with
ease. A clever Frenchman some years
ago invented a machine for that pur-
pose, and, / have heard, made for
tune out of 1t. 30 many people are
troubled with noses whose shapes do
not please their owners or their owners
friends. The machine consisted of a
small shell In two parts, hinged to-
gether. 1t is made of iron, japanned or
enamelled. 1t is in shape inside that
of perfectly moulded nose. according
to the type Of the features of the wear
er. Thus you can obtain a Roman,
Grecian, retrousse, aquiline, or any
other shape you desire. To apply the
instrument, the nose is first soaked in
warm water ut bedtime, and thorough
ly heated and softened. 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 a rather painful process at first, but
after the first two or three applications
of the improver there is no 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 DESTROYS of hav-
ing another, when the same operation
with another instrument is necessitated.
/ have known people to change their
noses four or five times in as many
years. In that way persons could
change the style of their nose as often
as they change the cut of their clothes.
