Noses Revised and Amended.

II Cleopatra were alive to-day the
length Of her nose would have little to
do in determining her career. Noses,
as other traits in the present advanced
state Of surgery, are merely determi-
nate features. 1t is only a question of
time when one shall read on the outer
wall, Moses altered while you wait"
If a pug nose does not harmonize with
the other features or a pensive dis
position, it Is easily changed by remov-
ing a wedge-shaped piece between the
nostrils. This is done without pain by
spraying the nose with cocaine. If a
Roman nose gives one the air of being
too dominant, the hump is removed by
making an incision, cutting the flesh
away, and steel burr, run by an cleo.
trio motor, easily grinds down the
hump. The skin, then trimmed to fit,
sewed and properly bound, soon heals.
Cocaine again renders the operation a
mere detail. In the same manner large
mouths are transformed into dainty
shapes by removing the surplus at the
corners and sewing them up. The sur
geon who is the authority for these
statements says that the time will
come when skin-grafting will be so

Leprosy in the United States.

DR.. Wyman, surgeon general of the
Marine Hospital service, has said that
there are indications that leprosy is
spreading in the United States. He
has noted the existence Of a number
of cases in various cities and country
districts, and also the unwillingness of
the local authorities to properly deal
with such cases, often because the
lepers, if their existence were gener-
ally known, would become terror and
a burden to the community. He has
recommended that a national leper hos
pital be established, to which lepers
could be sent from all parts of the
Union, and where they would be prop
erly cared for, and thereby the safety
Of the whole people would be guarded.
DR., Wyman said, in a recent report,
that the facts in his possession con-
cerning the dread disease compelled
him to the opinion that decisive steps
should Immediately be taken to pre-
vent, not alone it's introduction from
the countries to the south, but it's
spread from cases now here, and he
did not think it the part of wisdom to
await for any larger development of
the disease to demonstrate the neces-
sity for its suppression. Perhaps a
prospect of being entirely rM of their
lepers by their removal to a national
hospital might interest the people of
Louisiana in Dr. Wyman's scheme. AT
any rate, in view of the experience of
other and neighboring countries, it
would seem that the segregation of
sufferers from leprosy should be made
a matter Of grave and reasonable pub
lie concern.-New York Sun.

Passed Her Life as a Man,

Australia is fertile in sensations, says
the Westminster Gazette. The latest
a case of disguised seX-is that of Pri
vate Jorgensen, late of the Victorian
Rifles. Though passing for twenty
years under the name of Jack JOrgen
sen, her real name was Johanna Mar
! guerta JorgenSen. Her career has been
of most extraordinary character
! When a pretty girl Of sixteen, accord
| ing to her sisters account, she received
a sad Disagreement by a kick on the
nose and one of her eyes by a horse.
! Jorgensen herself accounted for her de
! formity by declaring that she received
her injuries in the Schleswig-H
war, in which she had fought on the
| side of Germany. She showed medal
which she had received for service in
the field, and claimed to have received
special commendation in connection
with the wound she sustained.
| Whichever story be correct, it is clear
! she commenced her extraordinary
career of masquerading as a man near
ly a quarter of a century ago, and, un-
der most unlikely circumstances, pre-
served the secret of her sex throughout
that period. Some twenty years ago
she appeared in the Runnymede dis
trict of Victoria dressed as a bushman,
and selected a block Of land which she
commenced to farm. She, however,
did not attend very asiduously to her
country duties, but employed men to
clear and fence her selection while she
wandered about the colonies delivering
lectures and canvassing for an insur-
ance company. The latter found it
difficult to get rid of her until threat
of medical examination induced her to
retire.
One of her strangest escapades was
to join the mounted rifles, where her
extraordinary appearance induced the
commanding officer to mistake her for
a Chinaman. She made a good soldier,
rode well, and exhibited a knowledge
of military service which was in keep
ing with her story. She was 5 feet {
inches in height, thick set and strongly
built, with a stubby moustache. She
frequently rode through the streets Of
Melbourne, and on one occasion was
selected to form part of the Governors
escort, but the officer in command or
dered her to stand out on account Of
her extraordinary appearance.
The better to sustain her character
she often made love to girls, and once
obtained the consent Of girls father
to marry her She did not, however,
go quite as far as another Victorian
celebrity of the same kind named De
Lacy Evans, who worked as a miner
in the deep claims at Bendigo for years
without her sex being discovered, and
who was actually married three times
in succession to as many women. Jor-
gensen was taken ill with rheumatism
recently, but refused to allow a doctor
to examine her, though he prescribed
for her. On her death a post mortem
was made, and the secret of her sex
was discovered. The affair has created
an extraordinary sensation in the colo

SHREWD MRS. LAMONT.

How Baby Ruth's Photograph Was
Taken.
Mrs. Lamont plotted and successfully
carried out clever scheme whereby
she kept a promise she made, and at
the same time went clear of an annoy
ance to the President and Mrs. Cleye-
land.
Soon after Baby Ruth was born a
photographer got Mrs. Lamont to prom
ise him that she would let him take Il
picture of the child. The Clevelands
decided that while they wanted pic
lures of the child for themselves and
their friends, they did not wish her
picture to be scattered broadcast and
used as an advertisement for baby
food, sterilized milk and the like.
The other day the photographer ask
ed Mrs. Lamont to redeem her promise.
"Why, you have photographed the
baby" said she, "only you didn't
know it."
1t seems that Mrs. Lamont, true to
her promise, sent Baby Ruth to the
gallery, but did not let the photograph
er know that he was looking at the
Presidents daughter from under the
black cloth.
"NIr. and Mrs Cleveland are pleased
with the pictures" added Mrs. Lamont.
And now the photographer is wonder
ing which of the multitude of infants
is Baby Ruth. So far he has been un-
able to fix the identity, and her mega
tive, and it is not likely that he ever
will fix it. Mrs. Lamont took good
care of that.-Philadelph Press.

Strange Faculty Of Reptiles.

Reptiles and batrachians usually pos
sess what may be termed the water
, location sense.
My attention was first called to this
by my brother, who, while engaged In
a natural history expedition In south
eastern Texas, had what at the time
we both considered unique experience
with large sea tortoise.
This tortoise had been surprised
some distance from the water, among
the sand dunes that line the Gulf shore
and on being oyertaken had its head
chopped off preparatory to serving as
a very toothsome addition to our diet.
Much to the surprise Of the party the
beheaded animal continued on it's way
towards the water
Several times it was turned around,
entirely or part way, but every time
it was able to right it's position per-
fectly, and again make directly for the
water
AT the time this was narrated to me
[ was of the opinion that there must
have been something in the contour of
the land that enabled the tortoise to
regain the correct direction in each
case.
Since then have had numerous proof
that this ability belongs to a number
