Artificial Features.

Artificial noses are now made of alu-
minimum, and they are so perfectly shaped,
colored and adjusted as to defy detec-
ton. The aluminium is first covered
with some light cloth-muslin generally
and is then painted, and the color
of the skin is so closely adhered to that
1t is impossible to tell which is the false
nose and which the true until you pull
1t. The materials formerly used for this
purpose We're vulcanite, wax, celluloid,
wood and porcelain, but for many rea-
sons aluminium is the superior of them
all, it being lighter as well as stronger.
Aluminium ears have become quite as
fashionable as aluminium noses.
There are more of these false noses and
ears on the street than one would sup
pose until one deliberately looks into the
subject. Scores of people wear these de-
ceptive noses and ears, and so artistically
are they made that it is impossible to
tell the false with the naked eye. l have
said that the best way to tell real nose
from the false member is to give it a
jerk. Yet must admit that if one were
to go about jerking the noses of friends
or strangers just to detect the false noses
life might be made decidedly unpleasant
for that one.-Chicago Tribune.

To Tax Scenic Advertisements.

The practice of defacing natural seen.
cry with great advertisements is not so
prevalent in the United States as it was
generation ago, and public sentiment
is steadily growing stronger against it.
This practice has recently developed in
England to such an extent that lovers of
nature recognize that some definite ac-
lion must be taken. The Thames val
ley, the most picturesque mountain spots
in Wales and the loveliest corners of
Oevonshire have been greatly injured by
huge advertisements. The well known
architect. Mr.. Waterhouse, has pro-
posed that if they cannot actually be
prohibited they should at least be di-
minisbed by the imposition of heavy
dcense tax.-Cficago Herald.
