and who find that they can get a good
deal of seclusion by allowing them
selves to be swallowed up in the great
struggling tide of the metropolis.
Irealize this most strongly in my
wn case and I see it illustrated in the
cases of many others. Though my
face has almost become, as I may say,
household word, several bright young
horses having been named after me, I
can go the whole length of Broadway
without affecting business in any ap-
preciable manner.
I have never drawn attention to my
self on the streets of New York but
once, and I do not speak of this because
I feel vain about it. It was on the
Bowery during great fire last sum-
mer, when many lives were lost. I
heard the shrill alarm, and having
once been fireman in Laramie City,
in order to avoid being juror, for I
felt when I looked at the juror we had
that I was not worthy, so of course the
alarm of fire, even though conveyed by
wire, stirred my young blood, and 1
went along with some other gentlemen
of the press, named Hastings and

She Got the Needle After All.

Nineteen years ago this month a
woman residing here accidentally
pushed needle into her breast. She
had been sewing on fine muslin and
she pushed the point Of the needle
through the lapel of her basque while
she inquired the cause of quarrel be-
tween two children who were playing
near by. In paroxysm of tears the
younger child threw herself into the
arms of the lady, and as she did so the
needle was pushed so far out of sight
that only the eve was visible. A quick
movemert to rescue it resulted in an
entire disappearance of the fine bit Of
steel. No Inconvenience was expert
euced and the incident was entirely
forgotten. A few evenings ago the
woman, who had carried the needle
about her for SO many years, was
awakened out of sound sleep by q
peculiar pricking sensation in the
throat. Rising up in bed she began to
cough. The pricking became more
severe, but the sharp substance ap-
peared to be rising in her throat.
Thrusting her fingers down as far as
possible, she caught hold of an object
and drew 1t out. It was the needle
that had been jcurneying about under
the surface for nineteen years.-Kings-

Hills and Dales on the Ocean.

We have all been taught to believe
that the ocean, after allowing for tide
waves and wind waves, has level sur.
face; that there are no hills or valleys
on the waters. NJ. Bouquet de la Grye
has disputed this; has, in fact, demon
strated it's fallacy. If we take a u
shaped tube with distilled water OF
equal temperature on both sides, the
two surfaces will be perfectly level !;
but if one side contains liquid that is
denser than on the other, more of the
lighter liquid is required to balance the
heavier, and therefore the lighter will
stand at a higher level. If fresh wa
ter is on one side and salt on the other,
equilibrium can only be established by
the fresh water standing little higher
than the salt. The like must happen
if we have uniform liquid, as regards
composition, but of unequal tempera-
ture. Such variations occur in the
oceans. Where rivers are pouring
large quantities of fresh water into the
sea, and where icebergs are rapidly
melting, the salinity is proportionately
lower than the other parts. The tenn
perature also varies. and, therefore,
an equilibrium can only be attained by
variations of level; the lighter water
must stand higher than the denser,
whether the difference be due to tenn
perature or salinity. Thus in cross
ing the warm Gulf Stream, ship sails
uphill on entering, proceeds thus to
somewhere about the middle, and then
descends. In this respect it resem-
bles flowing river, which is similarly
crested toward the middle of the
stream; it is also like river in being
higher at its source than at its embou-
chure, as its temperature gradually de-
clines in the course of its northward
progress.

Ether Inf0xicatiOn.

The curious habit of taking ether as
an intoxicant is becoming dangerously
prevalent in the north of Ireland. The
resident physician of Londonderry
Lunatic Asylum states that quite q
number of cases of insanity have been
produced by the constant use of his
drug. One wholesale druggist in Dub
lin sends hundreds of pounds worth
north every year. On account of it's
extreme volatility the intoxication it
produces is so transient that person
may get gloriously drunk and become
completely sober In a couple of hours.
But the reaction, though at first inn
perceptible, is apparently cumulative
in its results, and ultimately leads to
mental arrangement. One weii-known
incredulous of its effects
recently took dram and got so drunk
that he broke q window in his ethereal
exuberance of spirits, and but for the
kind Offices of a friend would have
spent the night in q police station

NYE AND o'RoURKE HAVE scUFFLE.

Crawford. need hardly say that the
fire fiend with his forked tongue was
already licking his chops as we arrived,
Inspectors Williams and Steers were
there. They greeted me cordially and
asked FLOWS tricks?" We all con-
versed at some length regarding the
fire, and I spoke of it several time as
the fire fiend without attracting atten-
ton, but that is not strange, for both
Inspector Williams and Inspector
GERS afterward told me that they did
not care continental for fine word
painting.
By and by I asked Inspector Will
Jams if there would be any need of my
remaining any longer. He said he
thought not, but would ask Inspector
Steers. It was finally arranged that I
should 60 if 1 desired much to do so.
I moved quietly toward the fire lines,
being deliberate in my movements, in
order to avoid alarming the crowd.
Just then roundsman named ORC rke
asked me in a profane way what I was
doing inside the lines, meantime help
ing himself to some of the dark meat
inside the sleeve of my coat.
He was rough in his treatment, b1t
I was so much the taller of the two
that he could not club me, having for
gotten to bring his step-ladder with
him. His language was earnest and yet
highly ornamented. He spoke in the
patois of the canaille of Limerick. He
now jerked me to and fro and rudely
hustled me. Inspectors Steers and
Williams both saw it all, as I after
ward learned, but whenever looked
ard them they were earnestly ok
ing at the fire. So were Messrs. Craw-
ford and Hastings.
1 told Sig. O'Rourke that I came of
good family, and though had been in
side the lines I had not been robbing
dead. But he was excited and flushed
intoxicated by his own breath, no
doubt, and SO he hustled me some more.
The immense crowd seemed to enjoy it,
and I heard newsboy say, @Yay,
Billy!" I was now outside the lines,
and one would have thought that the
cop would have let me alone. but he
kept on conversing with me till one of
Iue ue" SPdPer meH caWe up ana talked
to Don Giovanni O'Rourke in a way that
made my blood run cold. I the. es-
capped, and, though encored by three
or four thousand people, refused to
go back. When I got home I found q
large dent in a silver dollar in nv
pocket, which had in some way been
struck by the policemen. It is not the
first time that dollar has saved my
life under similar circumstances.

nose was not too large, but it was large
enough to be prominent Blaine's nose
is very prominent, and all his children,
including his daughters, are easily dis
tlnguishable by the same large feature.
Jay Gould is possessed of large nose;

The late John Kelly had a fat, pug nose.
Gen. Harrison S nasal organ is quite large,
but not SO prominent as that of Levi P.
Morton or the Old Roman. Joseph Pulit-
Ter and Charles A. Dana both have large
noses. Pulitzer's is very prominent. DR..
Talmage and DR.. j ohm Hall, both famous
pulpit orators, have large noses Ben
Buffers nose is quite small. so is Henry
Wattersor's, but George w. Childs, Aus

renee Barrett, and scores of others who
are prominent before the public, have

DIR. Jerome Allen, of New York City, a
well-known leader in educational matters,
In recent lecture on temperaments,
acknowledged that he had made pretty
close study of noses in connection with
his work, though he wished it distinctly
understood that he did not appear as
noseologist in any sense of the word. He
added:
IL We lOOh at Iu0 nose OF lower
animal we find that it is always typical of
the character of animal possessing it. For
example, let US take the nose of an
English bulldog. A hound can never have
the character OF bulldog unless he Dor
rowed the nose of bulldog. So take
the cat of the family-the hyena, the
wildcat, the common cat-and wherever
that peculiarly is found the same nature
is observed. So we might go through
with all the animals. Now, We find that
the noses of all the lower animals are
represented in mankind. Look at the
street as you pass along and you will ind
the cat nose, the hound nose, the bulldog
nose, the ape nose, and even the fish nose
and face, as well as the eagle nose of the
man who is of a grasping, hard disposition,
which this formation always indicates,
for person possessing an eagle nose has
an eagles character"
Can you not give some specific ex-
amples of noses which represent distinct
and different traits of character" he was
asked.
The Doctor hunted among the shelves
of his Office and produced portfolio. He
opened this, displaying the outline
sketches of several heads and noses. They
were those of women, and all taken from
life. Here is the nose of the first sketch.
