wOMANLY THOUGH AN EMPRESS.
Proofs That the First Lady I'm Japan
Possesses a Warm Heart.

The Empress of Japan has upon many oc-
casons openly evinced her interest in chill
dren, giving freely to all institutions that
exist to benefit them in any way even prac-
ticing all sorts of little economies that she
may be able to swell her contributions to
certain charities that most interest her The
conduct of this woman upon a certain sad
occasion her devoted subjects are never
weary of describing. says Harper's Bazaar.
Prince Iwakura, a fearless Japanese leader
in the momentous days of the crisis-from
which the lovely archipelago is still trenb-
ling in its subsistence to what seems assured
stability-lay dying in his yash!ki. The en-
press announced her intention of paying
Iwakura a visit in person. The poor prince
weak and about to die. was thrown into a
dangerous state of excitement upon receiy-
ing the news, but he managed to borrow
from some hidden nervous force sufficient
strength to grasp his writing box and brush
es and to paint her an urgent but most
respectful request not to think of coming to
him. He forced upon her excuse for de-
Ginning so great an honor the fact of his
rapidly approaching death. and his conse-
quent inability to acknowledge her visit
with even sixteenth part of the homage
Ii demanded. He begged her 20 deisn to
kindly consider how i'll he must be when IL
remained an impossiblity to throw off the
malady even for her entertainment In
reply, winged Win speed. came m.SSive
whose import was follows:
Il come not as your empress. but as the
daughter of your fond well-wisher and CO.
adtutor and as your own anxious friend"
Shorn OF all ostentation and display. the
empress arrived and remained beside her
grateful subject until his final summons
Some years ago, when the imperial paIa CO
was burned, the unselfsh empress amid all
the excitement and discomfort she was for
the nonce called upon to endure in a hasty
flight to a comfortless old yashtki thinking
first of her subjects natural concern for her
comfort, sat down and wrote them a dainty
little rhyme. which proclaimed as erroneous
the report that she had changed her resi-
dence. 1t coyly asserted that her home had
always been in the hearts of her people and
that she sincerely hoped that neither by
flame nor by cold could she be driven from
that dear abode.

From Notes and Queries.
OF the book it may be said saving only
the Bible, it has been translated oftener
and into more languages than any other
A recent Spanish editor. Don Lopez de
Fabra, enumerates 80 editions of the
Spanish masterpiece in foreign languages
That computation is certainly short of the
truth.
Not only are there more TRANSACTIONS in
English of Don QuiXote" than in any
other language, bit it is England which,
from the first, has done more honor to the
authors work than any other country The
first critical edition of Don Quixote" in
Spanish, with the first life of Cervantes by
MayaDsay SiscGr was published in London
in 1873. more than forty years before the
Spaniards had aroused themselves to do
honor to their greatest writer.
This edition, in four handsome volumes
was printed sumptuously in all the glory
of the Tonson press under the auspices of
Lord Carteret, at an age when Don Quix-
ote" was still appearing in his native coun-
try on filthy ballad paper in execrable
type, uncorrected and unadorned. That
which is perhaps still the best annotated
edition of Don Quixote' in Spanish was
the work Of the learned and painful John
Bowie, a canon of Salisbury, which ap-
peared in 1ISl. It is said to have been the
rumor of this undertaking. in which Bowie
spent fourteen years of his life, which made
the Spanish Academy hurry with their
great edition of 1880.

proposition in the hands of a special COM

preparation of 81 .0S0.0OO for the purpose of
making improvements to the city's gas
plant to increase the supply and storage
capacity. The committee had long con-
ference with the mayor and director of
public works yesterday, but little was &C
complished.
One of the committee expressed a doubt
that the city could manufacture gas as
cheaply as a private company. Chief Park

made as much gas any corporation and
that its profits were as much as ten per

GAVE HER A NEW NOSE.
The Remarkable Operation Perform
ed Upon a Sufferer From Catarrhal
Disease.

disease.
The public generally knows very little of
the marvellous progress being made in
dentistry; only individuals obtain a hint
occasionally when it happens they are sub
jects of operation A reporter for the Knox
vile Journal recently witnessed a remark
able and successful operation performed by
a specialist in the matter of constructing
artificial gums, jaws, noses etc. The case
in question was that of a handsome mid
dle-aged lady. whom the doctor had been
operating on for a couple of weeks. She
belongs to an excellent family in New York
city. Her case is what is. termed as sep.
tum, or falling in of the nose, due to ca
tarrhal treatment. The bone had entirely
disappeared and left only a fiabby piece OF
skin sunken in, and of course her personal
appearance had become offensive and had
furnished her untold distress. To look at
her no one would suppose that she had
ever been troubled that way, and it requir-
ed close personal inspection to discover
the false makeup of her nose. She is nat
urally a Misunderstanding lady. and her
personal appearance must be infinitely i'm
proved. The point of the nose and the
nostrils. however, will not diate on breath
ing. 1t is made of porcelain instead of rub
berthe usual substance. 1t has a trans
lucent. flesh tint of remarkable naturalness
in color. and the lady was ever so proud of
1t. and she was warm in praise of the
operation. The doctor briefly explained to
the reporter that 1t was now comm ION to
the profession to build noses. They insert
tube and initiate the nasal skin to the
normal size of the nose and insert springs,
which keep 1t distended, and take plaster
model. The method is simple enough, but
to do successful job requires skill and in
genuity. The old rubber nose loses color
and soon becomes discernible as a false
nose across a room. The porcelain nose for
this lady he had a great difficulty in bring
ing to a proper tint to suit her complexion.

have third trial for that offense. He has
been twice convicted-once of murder and
sentenced to be hung, and once of man.
slaughter. and sentenced to eight years in
the penitentiary. Both these trials have
been set aside by the court of appeals on
exceptions made to the rulings of Judge
Norton in the corporation court. The last
decision was made by the court of appeals
In Richmond yesterday. The formal order
setting aside the trial has not yet arrived
here, and of course, no time has been fixed
for the third trial. 1t Is generally believed,

that the case will be removed to some of
the neighboring corporation courts. Should
