Look at Your Nose.

A somewhat singular fact has been
observed with reference to the shape of
the nose, or rather the setting of it in
the face, so to speak. To be strictly
correct, from the artists point of view,
the nose should be exactly in the mid
die Of the face, and at right angles with
line from the pupil of one eye to that
of the other. AS a matter of fact, it is
rarely or never found thus placed; it
is almost invariably little out of 1.-The
square," and the fact of it being so is
often that which lends peculiar ex-
preston and piquancy to the face. A
medical writer points out that there
are anatomical reasons why a slight
deviation from the true central line
may be expected. and that the nose
which is found to be centrally To-
cated' and accurately straight between
the two eyes may, after all, be consid-
cred an abnormal one; the only abso-
lutely true and correct organ being, in
fact, that which deviates little either
to the right or left.

Ran His Train Through the Other.

There are heroes and heroes, and
there are heroines and heroines." said
Chauncey M. Depew to a Philadelphia
Press man. in speaking Of the matter of
personal bravery. There are blue
shirted men who go over our rail
road lines every day in engine cabs
who would laugh at you if you init
mated to them that they were heroes,
and who, in spite of all, are as brave as
any man who ever drew "a sword or
carried a musket. Railroad men sell
dow have much time to think. They
are towards or heroes in second. Not
long ago one of our engineers of an ex-
press train rounded turn in the road
and saw that another train had been
derailed, and lay right across the track.
A collision was inevitable. The en-
gineer might have taken chances and
jumped, but he didn't. AS he said
afterwards:
Il saw right away we were in for it,
and like flash it struck me that our
only chance was to 90 right ahead and
cut through if we could. So l threw
her open and let her 60
The experiment was perilous, but it
was successful. He did cut through
and no one was injured. This act of
the engineer was that of an exceeding
ly courageous, cool-headed man.
Another engineer on a western
road performed similar act some time
ago with tragic results. He tried to
or in fact was forced to try to-cut
through a freight train that had been
thrown across the track None of the
passengers was injured, but the en-
gineer and his fireman were killed.
This is but too often the reward of
bravery in all walks of life.''

Kate Field on the Platform.

One of the women who bring the
manners of the drawing room to the
platform is Kate Field. Her attitude to
her audience is that of highbred
woman entering room full of special
guests. Her fine graciousncss of pres
ence, her sweet voice, and her beau-
tiful, well-chosen English make it a de-
Hght to listen to her. One may not
agree with her; in fact. one may hold
quite an opposite opinion; but, after
ALL one never minds hearing what she
thinks, because she gives her opinions
so sweetly, and without the least ex-
preston of antagonism.
Her hearers know what she believes;
but while she has asserted her views
she has not attacked theirs. She has a
rare tact that is refreshing; and in
many ways she may be held up as a
model for young speakers. In one
thing she leads-her exquisite pronun-
citation. The English language be-
comes music in her lips. One wishes
every young girl. whether she is to be
a public speaker or whether she is only
to lift up her voice in the quiet Of her
own home, for the edification of fam
lily and friends, could model her En-
glish on Kate Field's-she couldn't have
a better guide.
Another feature of Kate Fields plat
form style is her quick appreciation of
humor and her fine wit. In this she is
quite unlike the majority of women,
and it gives a character, and, if Que:
may venture to coin word, unique
ness, when put in contrast with the
work of most women. A good deal OF
Miss Fields pleasantly peculiar style
comes undoubtedly from the fact that
she was newspaper woman before she
was lecturer, and had learned how to-
take her public.-Boston Herald

One Svindia Explained.

A drummer who travels for Boston
grocery concern says that he sees in
Maine some of the sharpest tricks that
are practiced anywhere on his route
He gave the following specimen to a
Lewiston Journal reporter:
A farmers wife hustled into a store
in Washington County the other day
and went for the proprietor with:
Mr.. b, bought six pounds of
sugar here last week and when 1 got
home l found a stone weighing two
pounds in the package"
-'Yes, maam."
A'Can you explain the swindle, sir?"
Il think can" was the proprietor's
placid reply. when l weighed your
eight pounds of butter week before
last found a two pound pebble in the
jar, and when l weighed your sugar
the stone must have slipped into the
scales somehow. We are both growing
old, raa'am, and am sorry to say that
our eyesight isn't to be trusted. What
can do for you to-day, ma'am?'
For moment the woman gazed nj
the tradesnan over her brass-bound
speetacles. Then she rccollected her,
self and remarked that she had a
dozen eggs which she wished to ex-
change for hooks and eyes.

Grating Skin.

A schoolboy in Edinburgh scalded his
left leg and foot from knee to toes
SO badly that the skin peeled off and
the flesh liberated. There being no
signs of healing, the surgeon obtained
a greyhound puppy, days old, chloro-
formed it to death, shaved its body
closely, and with the skin grated the
skin of the boy so as to cover all the
liberated spots. The result was sur.
prising: The leg rapidly healed and
when the patient was discharged 1.-THE
color of the grated skin was uniform
and very similar to that of the normal

THE AIR.BRAKE DID r."
A Engineers Heroism and Modosty II
Disclaiming Credit Therefor.

We went winding up the mountains,
says writer in the Philadelphia Item,
our massive engine drawing us up the
curving grades without an apparent
effort. We had crossed an iron bridge
and made curve, at the end of which
another was in sight, winding to the
left. and from the track cottage home
stood in the shadow of the hills. Look
ing past it to point just beyond, which
was visible from my side of the engine,
saw and excitedly exclaimed: "a
child on the track!''
At the exclamation John sprang from
his seat. One glance down the track
and his face became pallid. A child, 3
years old perhaps, stood midway be-
tween the rails and not 100 yards from
the engine. looked from John to the
child. 1t stood facing us, clapping its
little hands as it was wont to do from
its mothers arms, perhaps, at the pass
ing of the cars. In another instant I
was thrown forward, almost pitching
through the glass window in front. At
the same moment heard scream,
woman's voice, and with arms aloft and
face paralyzed with terror the mother
stood upon the steps of her cottage.
We were nearer the child-it was not
twenty yards from the engine, which,
under the pressure of the air-brake,
was humping and jolting furiously.
looked for John; his seat was va
cant; again ahead; the pilot was within
twenty feet of the child, the train still
in motion, too rapidly to be checked
before reaching it! 1 shut my eyes;
my heart stood still. Again the moth

my eyes to see the child tossed several
feet in the air. My head swan as

the crushing of the little form by the
now slowly revolving Wheels when in
husky tones heard mans voice ut

| opened my eyes, and standing upon
the pilot was John Akers, holding in
his arms the child, its face wreathed in
smiles. The engine was now at stand
still. From the cottage the father came
with blanched face and trembling
steps. The child, in merry accents,
called out: want to ride, papa?" He
took his baby from John Akers' ex-
tended hands, and, folding her in his
arms, sank down on the earth beside
the track.
John clambered back to his perch
and sounded the whistle. The passen-
gers looked out of the windows, won

bling hand drew the lever, which start

it was going at full speed again. I

perhaps, thought of what would have
been his feelings if his own little girl
had been the one on the track. Not

Northern Lights.

William Stosz, in the Popular Science
Monthly, says auroras are most fire.
quently seen in the cold and in the
northern temperate zone and hardly
ever in the tropics. The places where
they most frequently appear lie be-
tween the sixteenth and seventeenth
degrees of north latitude. In the form
of an oval. they include the geograph-
ical as well as the magnetic north pole,
which is to be found on the Peninsula
Boothia Felix, Iceland, the Kara Sea,
Northern Siberia, Behring Strait Hud-
son Bay, Labrador, and Greenland.
Northern lights have been seen as far
down as the twenty-ffth degree
Of north latitude. In full splendor,
however, they may be seen only in the
northern polar regions to the seventy
fifth degree of latitude. Here nature is
displayed in all her grandeur. When
the sun is set and the grey veil of twi-
light is cast over the earth the north.
ern horizon grows darker and darker.
Soon there may be distinguished
segment of the sky more sombre than
its background; this is hemmed in by
white concentric arcs of light. Colored
rays shoot forth therefrom in all di.
rections. They interlace and inter-
Irvine until they seem to be woven into
one flutter band of color. And anon
it changes to sea of fire! The rays
leap upward far above the zenith, form
there flaming crown, and then sink
back, to begin anew the wondrous
play The most beautiful descriptions
and trustworthy observations we owe
to Nordenskjold and Ekama. All ex-
plantations which have been attempted
as to the origin and cause of the north
ern lights are based upon the analysis
by the spectroscope, on the determine.
ton of the elevation. and on observa-
tions of the peculiar behavior of the
magnetic needle.

emotion answered: He fell dead the
