Changing the Nose.

''The nose is simply a piece of car
tilege," said surgeon yesterday, land
its shape can be changed with ease. A
clever Frenchman, some years ago,
invented machine for that purpose,
and has made fortune by it, so many
people are troubled with noses whose
shapes do not please their owners or
their owners friends. The ms chine
consisted of small shell in two parts,
hinged together. 1t is made of iron
japanned or enameled. 1t is in shape
inside that of a perfectly nodded nose.
according to the type Of the features
of the wearer. Thus you can obtain a
Roman, Grecian, retrouse, aguilinr,
or any other shape you desire. To ap.
ply the instrument the nose is first
bathed in warm water at bedtime, and
thoroughly heated and softened. Then
it is well creased with olive oil, glycer-
Inc, vaseline, or other oily substances.
Finally the nose-improver is fixed on
and the sides claspeo 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 pro-
cess 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, I'M
til the patient becomes tired of that
particular shape and is desirous of hay
ing another, when the same operation
with another instrument is necessitated.
| have known people change their noses
four or five times in as many years. In
that way man could change the style
of his nose as he changed the cut of
his trousers. st. LOUIS Republican.

German Life.

"One is what one eats" says our
German brother. Whether this be true
or not, he takes pride in his own dishes,
and regards foreign cookery with sus-
picion, if not with contempt. The Ger
man deems our sweet breakfasts and
melting pastry the mere offshoot of an
inferior civilization. A German of cui-
ture, remarking upon his experience in
the United States, said he had partak-
en- of our tirst-class fare in hotels and
steamers, and yet he elonged for the
salads and soups, the oils and onions,
which alone could 60 to the right spot.
AS fitting preparation to forenoon's
work let us begin with the breakfast.
The name of this meal is no polite SUBJ
terfuge for the generous warm break
fast, with buckwheat cakes, but it is
literal, denoting coffee, with two
wheaton rolls. These rolls are sold in
the bread stalls, and they are delight
full as far as they 90, but it requires
long practice to school ones self into
working until noon after such a break
fast He soon sees through it, though,
when he learns that it is customary to
take second breakfast, which, from
its chief element, is called soup. This
is eaten in a restaurant, at the place of
business, or at home, according to con-
venience, and usually at about ten
o'clock. Coffee is had Immediately af-
ter rising, and is served in your room.
Most people include coffee when they
engage rooms. Dinner occurs between
twelve and two. There is never any
hurry about dinner. The guests at the
hotels sit at the table from one to two
hours, seldom less than an hour and a
half. All dinners begin with soup. At
ter the last course, which is some inno-
cent Jelly. or cake, or ice, cigars are
lighted. and you then see how sociabe
and animated German can be. With
the exception of a minute preparatory
roll, white bread does not appear at
dinner. In the restaurants brown or
rye bread goes with the dinner The
..black bread as it is called is the
great staple food Of the peasants, who
can afford very little meat, and, in fact,
it is prominent part of city fare. 1t
comes in loaveS OF several sizes, the
largest being gigantic. Every day you
see wagon loads of them passing from
house to house or out to the villages.
No German housewife is ever troubled
with the setting and baking of bread.
1t would cause hard times for the peas
ant if the rye crop should fail. The
supper hour is from seven to eight;
however, it occurs oftener at about
eight than at seven. There is no regu-
lar supper-table or supper-hour at the
hotels; their dining-rooms are all
changed into restaurants and the guests
eat when and what they will according
to the bill of fare. In the family the
evening meal corresponds very nearly
to our tea. During the summer the
custom is to sup in IA public or private
garden and to make an evening of it
with the help of games and music.

Sick Wines.

The paternal tenderness with which
wine is regarded, 10th by its producers
and consumers, is amusing. They
speak of its being s'sick," describe its
diseases" and theirremedies as though
it were sentient being; and its dis
eases, like our own, are low attrit uted
to bacilli, bacteria, or other microbia.
Pasteur, who has worked out this
question of the origin of diseases in
wine as he is so we'll known TO have
done in animals, recommends Gn pa
pers read before the French Academy
in May and August, 1869 that these
microbia be killed by filling the bot
ties close up to the cork, which is
thrust in just with sufficient firmness
to allow the wine on expanding to
force it out little, but not entirely,
thus preventing any air from entering
the bottle. The bottles are then placed
in a chamber heated to temperatures
ranging from 45 deg. to 100 deg. c.
Q13 deg. to PIP deg. Fahr.), where
they remain for an hour or two. They
are then set aside, allowed to cool
and the cork driven in. 1t is said tha.
this treatment kills the microbia, gives
to the wine an increased bouquet and
improved color-in fact, ages it con-
siderably. Both old and new wines
may be thus treated.
l simply state this on the authority
of Pasteur, having made no direct eX-
periments or observations on these dis
eases, which he describes as resulting
in acetification, ropiness, bitterness,
and decay or decomposition.
There is, however, another kind of
sickness which / have studied, both
experimentally and theoretically. l
refer to the temporary sickness which
sometimes occurs to rich wines when
they are moved from one cellar to an
other, and to wines when newly ex-
ported from their native climate to our
own. The wines that are the most
subject to such sickness are those that
are the most genuine-the natural, un-
sophisticated wines, those that have
not been subjected to ''fortification,"
to ''virage," to ''plastering. ''sul-
phuring," etc.-processes of cookery
to be presently described.
This sickness shows itself by the
wine becoming turbid, or opalescent,
then throwing down either crust or
a loose troublesome sediment.-W

Drinking Men.

The bartender of a popular rendez-
vous leaned gracefully over the bar
during the slack hours of business, the
other day, and discussed his customers
with reporter.
Il notice that men nowadays order
exactly what they want" he said, toy
ing gently with his blonde musta, he,
while the reporter lifted Glove from
the glass to his mouth. Three or four
years ago man looked more or less
ashamed of himself when he ordered
lemonade or seltzer. His companion
usually demonstrated with or made fun
of him. and he generally offered son e
apology to the bartender for ordering a
notwithstanding drink. This was par
ticularly so with young business men,
clerks and politicians. They ordered
brandy smashes, plain brandy, whisky
punches, plain whisky, or some other
heavy drink. Of course, one half of
them didn't want it. You can't stand
behind a bar long before you find out
that large percentage of the men who
are led up to the bar to drink, would
rather have nothing at all than liquor of
any sort. Others have scruplcs against
drinking hard liquor, and others find
it goes against them to drink brandy
before dinner. Still, the majority of
them used to drink their whisky
straight and say nothing. When | first
went into the business fifteen years ago
we used to pass out the whisky bottles
and glasses without asking a question.
If the man wanted anything else, he
would push the bottle back and give
his order. In those days, if party of
young men went into bar-room and
ordered lemonade the bartender felt
aggrieved, and the bystanders made
fun of them. Nowadays, however,
everything is changed. No one thinks
anything when two or three of group
of men order lemonade, seltzer or apol-
linaris at the bar.
The simon-pure American bar-room
too. is rapidly going out of fashion.
Men no longer enjoy rushing into a
room, and taking drink standing.
They have more time now than they
had ten years ago, and like to sit down
and chat with their friends over sherry
Chickens beeswings,' etc. A place
with comfortable chairs and tables
catches the customers now, and the
modern restaurants and cafes, where
they can peacefully sit outside of the
general public, do the most business.
Their rooms are invariably always
filled.
I'm my opinion, drinkers are not so
numerous as they used to be. The man
who came in for his cocktail every
morning before breakfast or luncheon,
and the man who took four or five
good drinks of whisky every day no
longer exist to the extent they did ten
years ago. The fact is, habitual drink
ing over the bar is not fashionable
nowadays. Men drink more at dinner
than they used TO, and only drink
away from home for the fun of the
thing. The wholesale absorption of
liquor has gone out of style. Now and
then a party of students or clerks 90 to
place, and drink until they can hold
no more, but this is very seldom OF
course there are others among the la
boring classes who deliberately make
up their minds to get full and go
about it in business-like way, and
drink to excess, but they are now COM
paratively few. Troy Telegram.

Unbidden Guests.

The guests who attended my wedding
breakfast were unique in character.
l was married in India. l engaged for
our honeymoon little house-sixteen
miles or SO from any other habitation
OF white men-that stood on the steep
white cliffs of the Nerbudda river, which
here flows through canon of pure
white marble Close beside our house
was little hut, where holy man lived
in charge of an adjoining shrine, earn
ing money for himself and the shrine
by polishing little pieces of marble as
mementoes for visitors. 1t was a won
derful place altogether, and, while my
wife went in to change her dress, the
servants laid breakfast ON the vcranda
overlooking the river. At the clatter
of the plates there began to come down
from the big trees that overshadowed
the house, and up the big trees that
grew in the ravine behind it, from the
house-roof itself, from everywhere,
multitude of solemn monkeys. They
came up singly, and in couples, and in
families, and took their places without
noise or fuss on the veranda, and sat
there, like an audience waiting for an
when everything was ready, the break
fast all laid, the monkeys all seated, /
went in to call my wife. breakfast
is ready, and they are all waiting" l
said. ''Who are waiting?' she asked,
in dismay. Il thought we were going
to ba alone, and was just coming out
in my dressing-gown." Never mind
now," l said. ''The people about here
are not very fashionably dressed them
selves. They wear pretty much the
same things all the year around" So
my wife came out. Imagine her aston
ishment. In the middle of the veranda
stood our breakfast table, and all the
rest of the space, as well as the railings
and the steps, was covered with an i'm
mense company of monkeys, as grave
as possible and as motionless and silent
as if they were stuffed! Only their eyes
kept blinking and their little round
ears kept twitching. Laughing heart
ily-at which the monkeys only looked
the graver-my wife sat down. "Will
they eat anything?" asked she. TRY
them,'' l said. So she picked up bis
cult and threw it among the company.
And the result! Three hundred mon
keys or more jumped up in the air like
one. and just for one instant there was
riot that deties description. The
next instant every monkey was sitting
in its place as solemn and serious as if
it had never moved. Only. their eyes
winked and their ears twitched. Ny
wife threw them another biscuit, and
again the riot, and then another and
another and another. But at length
we had given away all that we had to
give, and got up to go. The monkeys
at once rose, every monkey on the ver-
anda, and advancing very gravely to
the steps, walked down them in
solemn procession, old and young to-
gether, and dispersed for the days

The Phantom Ship.

We touch Lifes shore as swimmers from q
wreck
Who shudder at the cherries land they
reach,
And find their comrades gathered On the
leach
Watching a fading SAIL small white speck-
The phantom ship, upon whose ample deck
There seemed awhile homeward place for
each.
The crowd still wiring their hands and still
hescech,
But see, it fades, in spite of prayer and beck.
Let those who hope for brighter shores no
more
Not mourn, but turning inland bravely seek
What hidden wealth redeems the shapeless
shore.
The strong must build stout cabins for the
weak;
Must plant and stint; must SOW and reap and
store;
For grain takes root though all seems bare
and bleak

A Close Shave.

Taking about being talked to death
in a BARRIERS chair" remarked a long
haired passenger from the West, .'re-
minds me of little experience l had

career. Happened this way: Down in
Santa Fe few years ago Greaser and
me had quarrel, and l slapped his
face. He tried to cut me then, but
didn't, and was taken away vowing
vengeance. About six months ago |
happened to be in Tucson, and went
into shop to get shaved. Squatted in
a chair, and closed my eyes. After the
barber had got me lathered and had
begun to shave | opened my eyes and
looked up. | hope | may have to feed
on sage brush all my life if the barber a
shaving me want my old friend the
Greaser. | knew if he recognized me
he would not only shave my chin but
cut my throat, and perhaps you can

kept them closed, too, as knew he was
any way. Though he chattered to me
| made no reply, afraid he would know
my voice. Every movement he made
with the razor feared would be toward
my throat. Every time he stopped
shaving l thought he had recognized
me, and was considering whether he
would cut off my ears before severing
my jugular or not. After about a week,
it seemed to me, he finished the job.
As he pulled the cloth off me jumped
as quick as flash out of the chair,
pulled my revolver, and backed out of
the room. When a barber talks too
much, or his razor pulls, and you wish
he was in place hot enough to temper
his instrument, just think of the agony

HIS LOSS WAS HER GAIN.

"Well madam" said a fashionable
physician to wealthy lady patient, "if
you don't like my prescriptions, perhaps
you had better try Parker's Tonic, or
some other iuack stuff" You don't
mean it Doctor" she answered, "but
your advice may be good for all that.
Sometimes what you call 'quack stuff is
the best and most scientific medicine,
