septum, or the tissue wall that sepa-
rates the nostrils. Anybody who thinks
for moment of what makes pug nose
point skyward will recognize how ra-
tional tho remedy is, SO to speak. A
small V-shaped section is cut out of tho
cartilage between the end of the nose
and tho point of iuncture with the upper
lip, and the edges of the cut are then
scwed together with thin thread. Co
caine is sprayed on the nose to make
tho operation painless. When the car
tilage has been removed and the edges
of tho wound drawn together, the oper-
alton, us you can readily understand,
draws the point OF the nose downward
to a graceful angle. This angle can be
regulated at will by carefully Judging
the amount of cartilaginous tissue to be
cut away. The drawing down of the
point OF the nose naturally spreads the
Lostrils, which would be as unsightly,
perhaps, as the elevation of the end of
the nose. This spreading is prevented
by the use OF 81 metallic clasp, which is
called q nose vise.' 1t consists Of two
thin. fiat semicircular bars of metal,
about two inches in length and about
n quarter of an inch in width. They
fasten together in parallel surfaces with
screw at either end. This little nose-
wise is slid down over the end of the
nose. with the curved edge OF tho par

forceps over the septum cartilage and
push it in the direction opposite to its
original turn. either TO the right or left
pushing it hard enough to splinter the
cartilage ut the point where it began to
deviate from the medal line. When it
is splintered, IL metal plug is inserted in
the nostrils, and the splintered cartilage
is allowed to heal, which it does quickly.
The nasal plug used is piece of metal
with IL needle point. This needle is
thr.lst upward through the septum and
holds the cartilage straight on tho
medal line until the nose has healed"
Did you really mean it when you
said IL few minutes ago that q doctor
can make woman's mouth smaller?"
the visitor inquired. in dubious tone.
Mean it!" retorted the surgeon, "of
course do. 1t is another of those
feats that are easy enough when you
know how. 1t has been tried with sue
cess. The method is to cut the flesh of
the mouth both outside and inside along
the edge of the vermilion border of the
lip at the corners Of the mouth. A
small section of this vermilion flesh is
removed by dissection, and the edges of
the lips are then drawn together at the
corners and sewcd together and allowed

bombs for l,ain-Nlaxil,-.

Although scientific men pronounce
rain-making by the use of explosives
only partial success. "a New York
company is engaged in the mannf:lc-
ture OF small bombs about the size of
frankfurter sa,lsagcs. with which it is
said the farmer can bring down small
showers of rain whenever he secs
clouds over his land. The consti-
tucnts of one bomb are divided into
two parts. liquid and solid, which are
both separately noncXplosive. These
can be kept separate until the time
comes to use them. when they are
mixed. They are packed away safely
in cotton, and placed in grooved tin
boxes. each holding ten. Five or fifty
bombs may be used, according to the
amount of rain needed or the dctona-
tion required. How the farmer is to
know how much detonation is decided
is dubious matter. The bombs arc
tied in bundle, a time fuse is at
tachcd and the whole .Ot discharged
from a mortar at the passing cloud.
In hilly countries clouds often pass
over the valleys and discharge their
contents on the barren mountain
sides. In such regions, it is said, the
bombs will be particularly useful.

to heal as in other operations. Tho
healing process occupies less than q
week sometimes. But, while the opera
tion is accomplished by simple mans.
its success as to appearance depends
upon the skill of the surgeon.
"Dermatology has, furthermore, sup
piled quite recently the means Of sue
cessfully remedying desormity OF the
ear. Ears that project from the head
in an unsightly way, or which have low
hanging lobes that mar the owners
personal looks, are readily restored to
a normal appearance. The uncouth
projection of the ear from the head is
corrected by cutting the flesh of the
ear ut the point where it Joins the head, J,
and then making an elliptical dissection
and removing section Of the cartilage
near the head. The severed edges Of
the ear about the wound are drawn to.
gether and sewed. The surplus car.
tilage that made the ear project from
the head having been removed, the ear,
when 1t heals, Is no longer unsightly,
and tests close to the head. A V-shaped
disc lection Of the outer edge Of the ear
and the removal Of q small section OF
tks cartilage will similarly remedy the
defect Of tho misshaped lobe.

Anger and Love.

Man has an unfortunate readiness
In the evil hour after receiving an
affront to draw together all the moon
spots on the other person into an
outline Of shadow and a night-piece,
and to transform single deed into a
whole life, and this only in order that
he may thoroughly relish the pleasure
of being angry. In love he has fort.
unately the opposite facultyOf crowd
ing together all the light parts am,
rays of its object in one focus, by
means of the burning-glass of imag.
ination. and letting in its sun with-
out its spots; but he too genera 4
does then only when the beloved Il
often censured being is already !
yond the skies. In order, however,
that we should do this sooner and
oftener, we ought to act like Winckle-
man, but only in another way. AS
he set aside a particular half-hour of
each day for the purpose of behold
ing and meditating ON his too happy
existence at Rome, SO We ought daily
or weekly to dedicate and sanctify q
.olitary hour for the purpose of SUM
ming up the virtues of our families,
our wives, our children, and our
friends, and viewing them in this
beautiful and crowded assemblage OF
their good qualities. Indeed we
should do SO for this reason, that we
may not forgive and love too late,
when the beloved beings are already
departed hence, and are beyond oW
reach.
