SAVED THE NOSE.
But In the Excitement of the Moment the
Doctor Placed 1t Wrong.

But In the Excitement of the Moment the
Doctor Placed 1t Wrong.
The presence of mind shown by an
Ohio physician saved a man a nose.
That useful member was severed by a
fall upon a sharp corner, and the at
tendant NJ. D., by promptly placing the
sundered piece where it belonged, Sc
cured healing ''by first intention" and
the subsequent restoration of that organ,
plus an ugly scar.
Less successful was the replacing of a
nose by a young man in this city many
years ago. While engaged in playfully
fencing" with companion. reckless
pass clearly cut off the young fellows
nose. He had not studied physiology
for nothing, and acting upon this knowl-
edge, grabbed the severed organ and
clapped it on the bleeding surface it
had just quilted. Then his nose was
bound firmly on and nature was left to
take her course. She did this admira-
bly,. When the bandages were removed
the two parts were found to be grown
together beautifully. Nothing could be
nicer, except that the unfortunate young
man had put his nose on upside down.
The nostrils stood as open to heaven as
the flues at the apex of chimney.
The memories that come down through
vista of thirty years, since this sad
affair took place, are a trifie misty and
unreliable as to the subsequent career
of the man with the inverted nose He
is believed to be dead During his life,
however, he was known to declare that
for purposes of snuff taking he had the
very finest nose in the world, but to be
caught in shower without an umbrella
was tantamount to drowning. Those
that are suddenly deprived of nose
should be careful to replace it with the
perforations down. Human life is made
up of TRIES, and some of these have
power to engender discomfort. when it
comes to an upside-down nose.-Pitts-

AN ALGERIAN WEDDING.
Quaint Ceremonies That Are an Interest
ing Relic of Ancient Customs.

ing Relic of Ancient Customs.
A marriage celebration in Algeria is
an interesting relic of ancient customs.
The bridegroom goes to bring the bride,
and the guests assembled outside the
house will wait for his coming. Soon
the sound of pipes is heard coming from
the summit of some neighboring hill.
and the marriage procession approaches
the bridegroom's house. The pipers
always come first in the procession, then
the bride muffled up in a vail, riding a
mule led by her lover. Then comes a
bevy of gorgeously-dressed damsels.
sparkling with silver ornaments, after
which the friends of the bride follow.
The procession stops in front of the
bridegroom'S house, and the girls
friends line both sides of the pathway.
The pipers march off on one side, willie
the bridegroom lifts the girl from the
mule and holds her in his arms The
girls friends thereupon throw earth at
the bridegroom, when he hurries for
ward and carries her over the threshold
of his house. Those about the door
beat him with olive branches. amid
much laughter. In the evenings, on
such occasions, the pipers and drum
mers are called in, and the women
dance, two at a time, facing each other,
nor does a couple desist until painting
and exhausted they step aside and make
room for another. The dance has great
energy of movement. though the steps
are small and changes of position slight,
the dancers only circling around Occa-
sionally. But they swing their bodies
around with an astonishing energy and
suppleness. As leaves lutter before the
gale. so do they vibrate to the music;
they shake and tremble; they extend
quivering arms, wave walls, and their
minds seem lost in the abandon and
frenzy of the dance, while the other
women. looking on, encourage by their
high. piercing. trilling cries, which add
to the noise of the pipe and drums

The speaker was ragged, dirty, I'M

The kind-hearted Mrs. Green laughed

and said that for once, at least. he
should have all the milk he could drink.
She was better than her word. for she
