sion. Then they beat the forehead with an old slipper until the part marked out be- comes swollen and prominent. Zinc tubes, with plate between them to serve the pur- pose of septum nasi, are then lodged in the nostrils. The next proceeding is to dissect flap of the swollen flesh with razor, leav- ing lower part attached to the forehead. In doing this they take vein with the flap, the name and position of which is 6 profound secret, known only to himself and the nose makers. The success of the operation de- pends entirely on the preservation and care full dissection of this secret vein. The next step was to turn up the flap with the secret vein particular way over the tubes. This being accomplished, the other parts of the nose are pared and fastened to it with silk hgature, and the whole thing is brought to an end by the application of 8 special oint- ment. For several days, until the wound is healed, the patient must keep recum bent position. On union taking place, the piece which was left attached to the forehead is severed, and the patient comes forth with new born nose. fought to have mentioned that the removal of the zinc tubes is effected as soon as convenient. Thus ended the mar rative of the medical adviser to the nose- makers. It only remains now to inquire how far their work is successful, and if their skill be on par with their reputation. That they have many opportunities of exercising their profession is beyond question. The wearing of baloo or math (nose ring) by the marTied women and girls to distinguish them from widows is 8 source of injury to the left ala nasi. This is especially the case with the hill women of Kangrs, whose rings are far heavier than those of women dwell ing in the plains; consequently one often sees the left ala nasi completely split open, giving more than slight dis6gurement, and preventing the distinguishing mark from be- ing kept up. Many of these women make use of the nosemakers; but as far as my ob- servation goes, and have had many oppor- tunities of seeing their. work, have never seen a satisfactory result. On the. contrary I have known mary cases where the opera tion. has simply left the woman in worse plight than before

Food In EnRland.

R.l
 An American visitor to England has no- tieed the absence of great variety of vege- tablee at the meals. There are plenty of meats, fish, game, fowls and the animal foods, but the vegetables are few. The list of these is about complete with potatoes, French beans and peas, caulifower, cucum- Der, lettuce, radishes and vegetable marrow The peas are characterized as fiavorless little things and the oucumbers as thin and some- times about 8 yard long. The lettuce Is called the sweetest and best in the world, but the vegetable marrow is insipid, watery and soft and tastes about like an overripe cucumber.
 American peas, beans, oucumbers, radish- es and potatoes are said to be much better favored and to be larger than the English vegetables. Beans and peas come largely from France, and evea the strawberries and asparagus mostly from other countries Green corn is unknown, and turnips, pars- nips, squash, carrots and the like seldom reach the table. Tomatoes grow in hot- houses and are costly. Peaches are 8 great luxury and are worth twenty-five cents apiece. Watermelons are not heard of, but musk melons are imported in small quanti- ties from France
 The English people as a rule eat we'll and heartily and without much in the way of fancy cooking, and very sensibly, they do not stuff themselves with lot of rich and greasy food. The Englishman starts in with brandy and soda in the morning and habitu- ally drinks alcoholic beverages with his meals, and more or less at other times. The English beefsteak is generally broiled and is tender and juicy, and the roast beef is uncommonly good, the roasting piece being, not rib, as Americans sometimes have it, but very thick porterhouse steak. The dos mestio beef, mutton, ham and bacon cannot be beaten for quality, and are justly entitled to all the praise that has been given to them The venison is not we'll favored and the birds are hung up until they are putrid al most. At any rate this is what a traveller says about these things.

MAKING NOSES.

How the operation Is Performed by
 Specialists 1n the Punlaub.
 From the St. James, GazettsI
 A correspondent of the A1lahabad Pioneer gives an account of the Kangairas, people who have long enjoyed & reputation aa noses makers. They live chiefly in Kanera. a small hill canton in the Punjaub. Although there are but fourteen families remainine, out of which only two individuals are prac- ticaI nosemakers, their reputation still re- mains. People come to them from the re- motest parts of the Punjaub, and even Af- ghanistan, actuated by the sole desire of hay ing their facial promontory repaired or re- newed. The Kangra nosemakers consider their art as one specially granted to them by the great Bajreshivu Devi of the place. They therefore perform the operation in strict se- crecy. The writer says:
 It was only with great difficulty that I procured the following information respect ing the modus operandi of this plastic opera tion for restoring the nose from an old bald and habitual opium eater. The old bald was kind of family doctor or professor of med icine to one of the nosemakers, and in this capacity has more than once witnessed the operation of nose restoration. He therefore considered himself in possession of the se- cret, if secret it is. His narrative ran thus: After drugging their patient with some mar. cotic, the Kangairas forthwith proceed to paint the forehead with 6 medicated lotion as preliminary step. On asking the com~ position of this lotion the only answer vouchsafed was a grave shake of the head. The next step is to cut piece of leather to the shape and size of the required nose. This being done, it is placed on the fore head and used to mark out the lines of incl

THE TR0URLEsOMR INDIANS.

The refusal of the Sioux to trade with the government has called attention anew to the ever-present Indian question. This refusal has made bad impression in Washington. There is no doubt, the Washington dis patches say, that bill could be passed with very little difficulty, taking these lands with out asking the opinion of the Sioux about it. Congress, according to the same authority, will probably hereafter treat the Indians as wards, decide what is best for them, and do it whether the Indians like it or not.
 It might not be 50 bad for the Indians as it has been if this policy were adopted and carried ont. But if it is it should be done in the right way. The Worcester Spy puts it about right when it says: If the Indians are to be made wards they ought to have, what they never yet have had, the authority of settled law for their defense. They should be put under the protection of the Supreme court, and the court should have authority to appoint as guardians independent, disin- terested, upright and discreet men, who should hold the legal title to their tribal lands and property and be authorized to en- force their legal rights in all existing con- tracts with the United States, and to make, with the approval of the courts, other con- tracts concerning the rights and property of the Indians. Their rights would thus be guarded as securely as the peculiar conditions of their case will admit. It is hoped that the tribal organization and the tribal rights to land will soon disappear and the Indians will become citizens under the operation of the severalty act, but in the meantime some such protection is needed, ,and even after they have become citizens there will be large trust funds to be administered for their benefit, which such guardians would administer to better advantage than the government ever has,

The convention which begins its session to- night in Hartford will be an unusually har- monious one, unless all signs fail. Two years ago the Hon. Morgan G. Bulkelsy, of Hart- ford, received warm support in the conven- tion as candidate for governor. This year the indications are that there will be little or no opposition to him. His great ability, his popularity and his splendid record as mayor of Hartford and in other public positions will make his=nomination strong one, and an important and encouraging factor in the contest which is at hand. The rest of the ticket will doubtless be made up with good judgment.
 After the convention has done it's work the Republicans of Connecticut will have every reason to go into the campaign with vigor and hope. They will have 8 good State ticket, and the indictment to labor for it and for the success of the presidential ticket was never stronger. Connecticut, more than al- most any other State in the Union, has vital interest in the continuance of the policy that has done so much to build up and main- tain the industries which flourish here. No free trade for Connecticut.

 attended church on Sunday at St. Sau- veur's, and was struck by the amazingly small number of pretty girls present. Pret- ty gowns were there in plenty, but the forms inside those same rsvishing toilets could not come under the head of pretty girls. men, tion this church because, as the representa- tive one of Bar Harbor, know that there, If anywhere, one would meet with beauty. ] do not mean that all the girls are positively homely, for this they are not, but rather of that class of indefniteness which sets one to pondering on the absolute genius displayed nowadays by fashionable modistes in the cut and finish of gowns. whereby bad figure is rendered good, while g naturally fine one is set off to the best advantage. If it is true that the tailor makes the man of the nine. teenth century, it is certainly true that the modiste goes long way towards bringing out the woman; or at least towards bringing out her good points, and presenting them in the best light to the masculine gaze by the judicious adjustment of draperies and trim mings to her gowns.
 There are two classes of girls who are su- premely happy at Bar Harbor-the girl with naturally curly hair, which waves iteelf into fluffy little rings and tendrils when the wind blows in from the sea, and the madden to whose cast of feature straight bang is un- questionably the most becoming. These two are satisfied; they have no further favors to ask of nature in the matter of coiffure. But woe to the damsel to whom that same fekle fortune has given straight locks, and at the same time implanted within her breast de- sire to possess by the art of curling tongs and eriIeriag pirls=ttifsg waving locks of her more favored sisters. In her soul there is room for little else than deep, dark de- spair. In the sanctity of her maidenly bow CT she is a prey to green and yellow melan- choly, for she cannot trust herself to go on yachting parties, take late afternoon strol1s along the sea wall, or sit down on the rocks for one of those picturesque looking firta- tions with youths in striped flannel suits, lest in moment, while she is in the proper youth almost up to the critical point, poufl comes one of those salt little breezes, and away goes the work of hours. I put it to anyone if it would not be rather a damper upon the most ardent admirer to get into the very thick of filtration with girl whose bang waves and curls upon her forehead and then, suddenly, while stretched out on the rocks at her feet, gaze up to find this same bang hanging limp and straight as a poreu- pines quill. There is literally no medium course to be pursued in this matter at Bar Harbor, and the girls may as well make up their minds to it before they decide to come here. The place is charming; there is no question as to that, but it is, nevertheless, 8 place where the straight haired girl has got to stand on her own merits, without the aid of an arti6cially befrizzed coiffure.
