THE JOLLY RED NOSE.
Not Always Caused by Convivial Habit

Not Always Caused by Conviviai Habits.
A Varied List.
A very common error is the belief that
q red nose or chin pimples or blossoms"
about that part OF the face, are the result
of hard drinking. and are always indica-
tive of that vice. With many persons
this is the case. The acceleration of the
movement of the heart, the rapid heating
of the body and the slow weakening of
the blood. three of the chief results of
the use of alcohol upon the system, too
often find expression in the unsightly
symptoms mentioned, as well as others
more serious.
But these symptoms often arise from
other and very different causes. In some
instances exposure to the sunlight will
produce results hardly distinguishable
from those Of alcoholic indulgence. and
more especially with those with impure
blood, or whose habits have not been
marked by the regularity demanded by
nealth. Tight lacing or even the mere
wearing of stays, no matter how loosely
these may fit. or how soft and flexible the
material from which they are made. fire.
quently exercise the same effect in every
regard. Many temperate woman and
abstinent maid has acquired the reputa-
tion of being hard drinker from the ap-
pearance of her face, when, as q matter
of fact. her only fault has been the desire
to look attractive. and its foolish express
sion in the compression of her waist and
abdomen
Gluttony is another common cause of q
red nose and cutaneous disorders of the
face. And in this regard gluttony does
not mean the eating OF large quantities Of
food, but merely of more than the system
requires. Two and half pounds of nu-
trimers per diem may be gluttony for q
young man or young woman who
takes little or no exercise, and passes the
day reading light literature. or idly con-
versing. where five pounds would be ab-
stemiousness to young collegian playing
ball and rowing twelve hours out OF the
twenty -four. Many diseases, and more
particularly the affections of the erysipelas
class, tend to express themselves in and
upon the nose and face. not only in all of
their forms and stages, but even after
they have been nominally cured. leave or

same unsightly and disgusting symptoms
However serious or deep seated the
causes. it Is always possible and easy to
cure and prevent the effects. Whether
the original source of the trouble lies in
constitutional disease. -depraved condi-

not produce the blemishes described until
after the blood has been surcharged, with
humors and the vital organs have become
weakened in tone and activity, These
are in every instance the immediate cause
of the trouble. If that be stopped before
they reach their full development, no
skin disease will break out. If they be
properly treated after that point the dis
ease soon disappears and the sufferer
speedily regains his beauty and health
The American Analyst.
Early IN the summer, the Rev Mr. Rains
ford, the energetic rector of ST. GeOrges
church, New York, somewhat startled the
wealthy members Of the congregation by
making the unique proposition that while
they were away enjoying themselves this
summer, they should allow some respectable
poor families Of the parish 70 occupy portions
Of their residences, and thus provide a
change of surroundings that to thosn com
PEELED to pass the hot months in the sitting
quarters of crowded tenement would be
almost equal to an outing in the country.
Naturally, this proposed innovation was not
Immediately received with acclamation; but
Mr.. Rainsford, who y prolific in ideas for the
benefit Of all concerned with his church, es-
pecially the poorer members, said that he
would become personally responsible for the
conduct OF the favored families; and 50 the
suggestion has become un fait accompli. A
number of his wealthy parishioners whose
houses are usually closed during the summer

comparative luxury will engender a feeling

to return to their usual surroundings, or
whether it will prove the boon that is in
