Good Noses Are Scarce.

OF all the features of the human face
the nasal organ, being the most promi-
nent, stands supreme as revealer of
character. Its form gives the greatest
expression and individuality to the facial
ineaments, and even the voice is affected
and toned by this important member.
The individual whom nature has blessed
with a really well formed and perfect
nose should indeed be grateful, and on an
average barely two per cent. of the
ordinary population can claim to possess
a perfectly shaped nasal ORGAN

Exiled Queens in Paris.

Paris has always been a favorite re-
sort for kings in exile, and there are
many who hold their little courts and
are more or less worthy Of distinction.
1t was always great privation to the
ex-Empress Eugene that she was
obliged to seek protection from the
rather frigid English, though they have
been most kind to her in her grief.
King Milan of'Servia has renounced his
throne that be might join this colony.
Unlike the felgning royalties, who are
gradually dispensing with form and
ceremony the exiled queens are very
particular to keep up every form of
state that bel ongs to their rank, as this
outward observance is the only thing
they have TO mark it. Their coronet is
everywhere, and "Your Royal High.
ness" is insisted upon in addressing
them. The ex-Queen of Naples held a
very quiet but remarkable court, but
her relative, ex-Queen Isabella of Spain,
is the most interesting and notorious of
all royal refugees who make Paris their
home. She was driven from the throne
by the Spanish people, but is very
wealthy, for during the stormy times
which preceded her birth her mother
made good provision for her by secret
ing great sums of money and even by
replacing some of the crown jewels with
glass. 1t is on the income of these hid
den treasures that Isabella keeps up her
Tito court and covers her immense
bulk with the gorgeous costumes she is
noted for. She has grown enormously
fat. Her drawing room is hung with
crimson brocade; she receives on plat
form in gilt chair like throne, and
her guests are permitted to kiss her
hand and bend the knee before her.

A Land of Turtles.

A correspondent of Ceylon journal
gives some interesting information
about the turtles on the coast in the
neighborhood of Jaffna, in the north of
the island, which are said
to be innumerable. They are
of three species, called sea-
milk and pariah turtles respectively.
"The ordinary or sea turtle is generally
large in size and is met with every where
at sea around Jaffna. Two tiny islands,
called Iranativu, are literally swarm.
ing with them. The islands themselves
are sterile, and always exposed
to inundation; the inhabitants
are poor and ignorant of agri.
culture, and live chiefly on the
turtles. They use the shells of the large
ones as seats. In the town of Jaffna
the ordinary turtle is always procurable,
and is favorite article of food with
the people. The milk turtle is small in
size, and is to be found only in wells
and banks. 1t is not an article of food
except with the poorer classes. The
pariah turtle has a high back and
shell which somewhat resembles that OF
the tortoise. 1t is found in marshes
and bitches. 1t is not an article Of food;
but is highly valued by native medical
men. because the flesh and blood are
supposed to be panacea for ailments
peculiar to children.

as the one that involves the Alaskan
NV seal fisheries and the Behring sea

the whole matter will be is as yet only q
matter for conjecture. The seal fisheries are a
most lucrative and important industry, and it
is certain that the United States will not recede
from the position il has taken in the matter with
outa struggle. On the other hand there are those
who say that England is not the one to submit to
losing what she thinks are her natural rights
and that she will insist on the preservation of
her own. 1t is all being done in an apparently
amcable manner, and as the matter rests in
the hands of some of the ablest diplomats
of the two countries it is probable that the
settlement will be equally friendly, and that
the massing of an unusual number of British
war vessels on this side Of the world is done
for the most innocent of reasons and that it is
not even expected to carry with it a semblance
of moral force.

pear to be almost endless the facts that underie
it all. so far as they are publicly known, are by
no means numerous or complicated
