Jerry Rusk, the head of the Department of

ter nose for the Secretary OF the Treasury
than that of Window, and it is with the ex-
ception of Blaine's the best nose in Harri-
sons Cabinet. WINDOWS nose is short and
rudgy. 1t looks as though it might have
no hone in it, and it does not indicate the
strength that the man really possesses. The
noses of Noble, Tracya and Proctor are very
ordinary noses-good enough and big
enough-but indicative of nothing in par
ticular. They show their owners to be
evenly balanced men, but they do not at
first glance impress you.
II is in the Supreme Court you will find
the big noses of Washington. Justice Full
ler has tue nose of Roman. 1t stands we'll
up from his cheeks. 1t sets off his classic
features and makes his pale face almost
noble as it stands out in front of his leonine
grav hair above his nerce silver mustache
and over his toga-like black gown. Judge
Field has nose that might have been trans

sensitive nostrils and it indicates that

HELPING BIRDS TO EAT.

A Novel Food Cup to be Fitted Into the
Cage of the Songster.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,l
The care that must be given to the little
feathered warblers who enliven our homes,
requires time and thoughtiulness, at least if
the tiny inhabitants of brass and tin cages
are expected to keep we'll and comfortable.
Cleanliness and proper food are the chief
essentials. Both requirements will be
furthered by the new feed-cup. because it
not only prevents the scattering of the
grains, but also the overlooking of the bird.
The cup (A) has little hook (B) by which

FOR MODEL OF JovE,
and his nose is that of god. 1t is a nose
that sculptors would rave over, and it has
that delicate rosy hue OF Judge Harlan's
complexion which corresponds with the
best efforts Of Rubens in color. It is one of
the strong noses of Washington, and it
comes out in fine contrast with the weak
fieshly nose Of Justice Gray whom nature
modelled on her grandest plan with this one
exception. Gray is considered a great
Judge, but he is somewhat of a snob and
his nose is a snub. 1t is the smallest nose
on the bench, and Judge Brewers nose
would make two of it.
The great judges of the past have all had
big noses and Justice Marshall, when he
was at the head of the Court, frequently
called attention to his Roman nose by the
habit of snufing. One day Henry Clay,
who had nose as big as your fist, was max
ing a speech before him, and as he saw the
Chief Justice take up a pinch of the it'll
lating powder, he could not resist the in
clination to do the same, and he stopped
his argument, walked up to the bench and
asked for a pinch of snuff This he snuffed
up his great nose with gusto and then went
on with his speech. l doubt not that some
of the Judges snuff to-day, and there are
half dozen Senators who suck tobacco into

Everybody Cries on Occasion and Applaud

New York Times.l
The interiors of all the theaters in Japan
are rude and unsightly, almost entirely free
from any kind OF decoration. The sombar-
ness of the blue, that is the characteristic
color of the dress of the mass of the play
goers, is relieved toward evening, for they
play all day, by bits of bright color in the
kimonos of the geisha, and of the denizens
of the yoshiwara, who then put in their ap-
pearance. The audience is attentive, en-
thusiastic apd quick to perceive the fine
points of the play. 1t is, too. very sympa-
thetic and susceptible of being stirred to the
depths by some (from native standpoint)
pathetic scene.
The whole house is moved to tears, men
and women alike. Sobs and sniff1es are
heard in every direction; and some are
stirred to a verv passion of grief, and all at
scene that to the foreign eye is ridiculous

which sits above the snow-white collar and
the red necktie of John j. Ingalls, and defes
the world, the flesh and the devil. There is
a fighting nose for you'll That nose might be
the nose of pirate. 1t might be the nose
of reformer, OF great writer or poet.
1t is the nose of an orator and genius. 1t
is thin and sensitive, and at the same time
strong. 1t has all OF the Roman aggressive
ness, combined with all the Greek intel
lectuality, and its sensitive nostrils are
those of patrician. 1t is the great and
only nose of the great and only IDgalls. and
it is q nose which some Senators know
would like to pull, but dare not.
Another fighting nose, but one of a diff
ferent make is that of Senator Vest. It is
smaller than that Of ingalls,, and as it trots
around the Senate In front of Vests cheeks

bottom CO. of the cup inclines toward the
cage. 1t can be filled from the outside the
cage need not be opened nor the cup nm
hooked. At the point where the bottom Co
inclines the most the cup CAY is cut out
enough to receive a small trough CD,
which -evolves around the axis CD. AT the
top (E) this trough is open. The trough is
regulated by weight inside the feed cup
that keeps it in the proper position for the
grain from the outside cup to flow into it in
small quantities. From the trough to the
inside of the cage stretches the bar H and
y, and as the bird jumps on the bar the lat
ter inclines enough to allow the animal to
get to the opening (E) of the trough. As
soon as the bird jumps off the bar again the
trough adjusts itself to its former position,
and fresh feed flows into 1t,

Freaks in fence building are not uncom-
