when the young captain had made the
acquaintance of so lovely sweetheart

had arrived at.

you know how to love and as you can
love. What 1 have looked for in
vain in other men / shall perchance
not find in you, but I can always be-
lieve that it is in you. The looks and
caresses Of love, which have always
lied to me, you will allow me to ex-
plain at my pleasure without adding
to them any deceitful words. I will be
able to interpret your reveries and to
turn your silence into eloquent speech.

your soul is holding communication

It is said that on the back of this
letter George Sand wrote the words
''To the stupid Pagello." The wonder
is, were these words written in
pleasantly or contempt? Did the gifted
woman merely mean to jest with her
big shouldered lover, or had she learn
being wasted on a man who. instead
of proving himself the Apollo of her
dreams, had at last shown himself to
be Of very ordinary clay?

the surgeon picks up his small steel
burr, which is run by electricity, and
which reyolves many hundred times a
second. and the bone is soon ground
down and beautifully rounded off. The
other jaw bone undergoes the same
treatment. and then the ugly girl rests
a month from her ordeal, denying
herself absolutely to her friends.
At the end of the month her cheeks
are beautifully round, their only fault
being two thin straight scars over
each cheek bone and a slight fabbiness
Of the skin, causing a wrinkle at each
corner of the mouth. On the whole.
the result is not encouraging, but now

prise she proposes to go through with
it.
On her next visit the surgeon deals
with the nose question. That organ
was sharp and hooked, like an eagle s
beak Again the woman is placed un-
der the influence of ether. There are
two ways of making a new nose. One
method is to take all the bones out,
leaving nothing but a soft piece Of
flesh, and then to build it up with new
bones and cork splints into any shape
the patient may desire.
The other is the electrical method,
and this the surgeon selects as more
suitable to the occasion. A vertical in
cision is made through the skin the
length of the nose and the flesh is
folded back on either side. Then the
steel burr is again called into requisi-

FROES NOW TO SUIT RLL.

Are you satisfied with your face? If
not, you can easily have it changed to
suit. Is your nose tco large? Then have
it trimmed, by all means, says the New
York Herald. Do you require dimple
on your chin or cheeks? For few
dollars you may have them put in to
order, as GLACIERS put in pane Of
glass.
Those who are plain and unattrac-
tive today may pose as professional
beauties next month, and it is possible
that we shall soon find ourselves re-
quiring an introduction to old friends.
1t will soon become pretty hard to tell
just how much of a pretty girls face
was in the original edition and how
much has been manufactured.
Whenever you admire a charming
young woman's dimples, be sure that
they are not work of art; if her nose
is pure Grecian there is a possibility
that it has been brought to it's present
perfection by a surgical operation. The
same pertains to cheek bones, chin,
ears, eyes, skull and hair.
The proficiency of modern science in
altering the human face divine is little
short of the marvellous. There is ap-
parently very little that may not be
changed to advantage by surgery.
Things have gone so far that amputa-
tionS Of the brain have occurred, with
the result that certain functions of the
subject have been lost forever Who
knows but in the future the science
of surgery will progress so far that a
mans idiosyncracieS may be amputated.
that a homicidal maniac's brain may
be so altered that he will become a
Christian gentleman, that a drunkard
may have his corpuscle of whiskey-
ology so erased that he will mount the
temperance platform or even the pu-
gilists may have their bump of YER
bosity and brag made into hole, leav-
ing them barely enough brains to make
a headache.
Well, science has performed many
wonders, and such a thing may event
ever, is story of external features.
We have all seen ugly girls and know
what they look like.
Now, imagine, if you can, an eigh-
teen-year-old young woman, freckled,
red headed, moley. hook nosed, blind
In one eye, and with a projecting jaw
and chin. OF course blindness is a
mere misfortune. but otherwise she is
as ugly as a girl can well be and sur
Tive. She has unlimited means and
wants to become beautiful. Is it pos
sible?
Why, of course it is. In the first
place, she selects a surgeon with q
reputation This is absolutely neces-
sary, because a quack would leave hel
far uglier than before. Many a repu.
table. young man would love her fol
her money, but there is no satisfaction
in that for the ugly girl. She wants
to become beautiful, and that settles
1t.
If she prefers anaesthetics she car
have them. If not. she summons al
the nerve at her command The sur
geon begins with the high and sinister
jaw bones, and for this operation the
surgeon places her under the influence
OF ether.
A QUEER OPERATION

eye and the bone is laid bare. Then

{ II LETTER Of Love.

One or the finest love poems In any
language has just come to light
Though prose in form, it is poem in
spirit; though apparently mere i'm
passioned love letter, it is, in it's way,
a work of art, and, as such, may well
be placed in the same category with
the wonderful letters Of Eloise and
Abelard, says the New York Herald.
George Sand Is this nineteenth cen
tury Eloise, and the Abelard to whom
her fiery words are addressed is Pietro
Pagello. an Italian doctor. The great
authoress was passionately in love
with this ponderous Italian, and some
curious stories have been published
in regard to her intimacy with him.
How he attracted her is rather a mys
terry. Some writers claim that the
magic lay In his broad shoulders and
general physical robustness. But can
any one account for woman's tatstes?
Can any one explain why Mary Of
The Saint Paul globe., 1896-11-30

would then have to be dealt with in the man
ner related above.
Is 1t a wonder that under the foregoing cir
cumstances a young woman's friends would
not know her when she again made her ap-
pearance in society?
There are many other wonders that may be
performed upon the human countenance by
the surgeons knife and needle. For instance.
the scalp may be rebuilt with bits, of rabbit
skin. Facial muscles may be altered by
massage. The mouth may be enlarged or re-
duced Dropping eyeltds may be made to
maintain normal position, and, in fact, there
are numberless other things that may be done
to improve and preserve ones personal appear
ance
Have you baby with projecting ears?
Then take it to some doctor at once He viii
bind it's to its head and keep them in
that position until they are trained to stay
there. baby's skull may also be remod-
eled. bulging forehead may be remedied.
A conical skull may be depressed into its
proper shape. Beetlng brows may be mould
ed into comeliness and, altogether, there are
not many reasons why young woman
should remain ugly If she has money enough
and endurance enough to bear the pain of a
beautifying operation.

home, but, unfortunately for him,
somebody conceived the idea of ex-
tending a thoroughfare from One Hun
dred and Forty ninth street and Third
avenue running north. This is known
as Melrose avenue now, and in con-
struction took all of Mr.. Ubelhor's plot
but a strip thirty-seven feet long and
three feet eight inches wide. This
strip is on the avenue, with the corner
at One Hundred and Sixty-irst street.
Henry Ubelhor bought the land a
few months ago for $780, 1t was a big
price, his friends said, but property Is
dear in that neighborhood. 1t was his
intention to build a tailor shop on the
corner, next to the property Of William
Delmudt. The latter owns a lot so
feet wide and 100 feet deep. He has
lived on it for years, and 1t was not
until recently that he learned that
Ubelhor owned the small strip outside
his fence. However, he did little wor-
rying over the matter.
What can he do with the land
It is too small to build on, and he will
have to sell it to me in time. Then
will have a clear corner" he told his
friends.
When Ubelhor heard this he declared
he would build, but first he offered Del
mudt fifteen feet of the strip extending
to One Hundred and Sixty-first street
for twelve feet of land back of the re-
mainder Of the strip. Delmudt saw
that If he exchanged Ubelhor could
build house Is feet inches by % feet
and spoil his view Of the avenue. He
refused the offer. Then Ubelhor found
that his thirty-sev strip was to
lose several feet by the widening of
One Hundred and Sixty-first street.
Once more he went to Delmudt and

latter refused to sell or exchange any
of his yard, but offered Ubelhor $500
for his property. This offer the tailor
scorned, because he could buy nothing
as good for this sum in the neighbor-
hood.
"Ill build shop, If it is no larger
than a dog kennel" he declared, and
who designed a building % feet long,
feet s inches wide and 19 feet high.
When the plans were drawn it occurred
to the tailor that he had not sufficient
room for a workshop. The architect
found he could utilize the space under
the sidewalk, so an excavation 10 feet
deep, 10 feet wide and % feet long was
dug. Iron girders were used unsparing-
ly, both in the construction of the
house, and the underground apartment.
The first floor Of the store is merely a
show case, the second a storeroom,
while the work will be done under the
glass sidewalk
The tiny house shuts off Delmudt's s
view and impairs not only the value OF
his property, but the appearance Of it.
The house will have cost Mr.. Ubelhor

PRIME MINISTER
In England Is an Office That Does
Not Pay a Salary.
Chambers journal.

Chambers journal.
The prime minister is the head of the gov
ernment, but such he receives no salary
for his position is unknown to and unrecog-
nized by statute law. Some state Office with
nominal duties, such as first lord OF the
treasury, is accordingly held by the premier.
Lord Salisbury, however, departed from the
almost invariable practice by assoeiating the
secretaryship for foreign affairs, perhaps the
most arduous and responsible Office in the
government, with the premiership in his own
person.
The first lord of the treasury, or, as he Is

urer of her majesty's exchequer," has asso-
ciated with him the chancellor of the ex-
