Developments of Rhinoplastic Art.
Among the prominent people in Europe
who are blessed with peculiar noses is the
duke of Cumberland, eldest son of the late
king of Hanover. The duke was born abb
solutely without any nose at all, and the one
which is appended to his face at present is
principally composed of flesh taken from
the arm while the skin is furnished by a
lapel cut from the forehead between the
two eyes and drawn down over it 1t
doesn't look particularly we'll, having the
appearance of being broken and e-sided;
moreover, on windy days it trembles and
oscillateS
Perhaps, however, he may be induced to
visit the celebrated Berlin surgeon, Pro
fessor KONG, on the subject The latt-r
has been expounding some new develop
ments of the "Rhinoplastic" art at surgi-
cal conference in Berlin, and shows that
he has new method of repairing noses
however broken, smashed or twisted His
noses are superimposed upon foundation
formed by portion Of the nasal bone and
resists the strongest winds They have the
advantage also of having the correct clas-
steal turn. Indeed, it is to be feared that
fashionable persons may think it worth
their while to break their noses in order to
have them remodelled. Berlin Letter.

that she could have persuaded herself to
give him up Then he saw that she was
acting for his good, and for minute or two
he had determined to find out where she was
and follow her. But it would be no good.
After all, the strongest feeling he felt was
one OF relief. He had got out of it He had

ought to answer it by the next mail, and he
would He needn't say anything about

was no use trying to find her, and about q
