There are fourteen bones in the nose.
A sharp nose poining upward and for

ness and an intellect that moves like a
snail. A Roman nose of generous pro-
portions is supposed to mean that the
possessor has the qualities of great
military general. Wellington, Napo-

ius Caesar had this style of nose.

The nose of Grover Cleveland is chiefly

nation it expresses. 1t also denotes great
directive ability. If his face were not so
fat the nose would appear much larger,
and as it is Roman in formation it would
rank with those of the conquerors of the
world. It's a satirical nose and a fault
finding nose. 1t is inclined to pick flaws
in everything placed before it for inspec-
ton. There is nothing daring or Napo-
leonic about the nose. 1t is more in the
order of the Wellington nose. 1t trusts
nothing to chance but demands clear
vision before it makes any move.
If Ben Tillman were true to his nose he
would be a timid man. The nostrils are
compressed, the sign of apprehension.
1t is daring, Warlike nose, but peo-
pie who have proboscis of that kind
usually like to stand aside when war
is going on and watch other people do

Richard Olney has a pugnacious

| This enables the New Yorker to do
considerable wandering without leaving
his native fireside. 1t is six-hour jour-
ney to get from the northernmost tip to
the southernmost tip of the new city,
and to go from the easternmost end to
the extreme western point it takes five
hours. Both Journeys must be made in
a roundabout way with a good part Of
the distance by water. If the tourist
should happen to be unfortunate and
miss trains and boats, or if there were a
heavy fog in the bay the journey would
take endless hours.
Men who have undertaken to think
about the task of forming this great
mixture of humanity into one munich
pality have given up the job as hope
les puzzle. How to form local laws
which will equally serve all the ex-
tremes-the millionaire of Fifth avenue
and the clam fisherman of Little Neck
bay; the bloods of the tenderloin and the
farmers of Hempstead; the merchant
prince of the dry goods district and the
general storekeeper of Bayside; the fl
nancial king of Wall street and the hired
man of New Lots, will make things live
ly for years to come.
The enlargement of the police depart
ments and fire departments, the carry

suburbs and giving the clam -diggers
and farmers the luxurious conveniences
of metropolitan life will wiring the
hearts of the heavy taxpayers with an
guish. for the brunt of the expense will
fall upon the big property owners of the
old New York. In fact, the shrewd rus

already authorized the local officers to
make unheard of improvements in the
little villages, knowing that when the
bills fall due they will be part of the big
city of New York and that the latter
will have to foot the biggest part of the
expense. In this way the rustics are
buncoing the city folks, thus reversing
the general order of things.
There is little to wonder at in the old
Gothamite feeling troubled about the
new New York, nor is there in the sub
urbanites shouting with joy at the idea
of being entitled to the rank of New
Workers.: Already loud and deep are the
curses flung in the direction OF Thomas
Collier Platt, the G, o. p. boss who

She smiled and flushed and denied it,
AS a pretty girl must do,
But by her hearts deep contentment
She knew that he thought 1t true;
Q, life was rapture then
When she was the prettiest girl in town
And he was the first of men!
They parted with anguished sorrow;
Time cleared the clouded sky;
But at last nights ball she lived again
In the charmed days gone by.
His son and his daughter were dancing,
The girl in a, pure white gown.
And she heard him say, as they passed her
You're the prettiest girl IN town!"

least possible disturbance of
the system is manifestly the
best. People have hitherto
been purgcd. vomited, bled,

bears to some one disease
or morbid condition; and,
also, the relation which each
dose should bear to each
individual patient.
Because of this lack Of
