can be made into a fairly good-looking
one Experts says the best time to oper-
ate on such deformity, in the case of
children, is between the ages of 10 and
l years.
While the field for the dentist is not
so extended as with the general sur
geon, the progress made in his profes-
sion is so pronounced and has brought
as much joy to humanity as has the
former. Changes in the human face
have been wrought by the dental sur
geon that seem almost beyond belief,
and when to-day person is seen in So
ciety with any deformity of the teeth
it is safe to say that the parents were
either Indifferent to the matter Or were
unable to have the proper care taken in
time. or perhaps they were ignorant of
the possibilities science offers.

Dread of something worse has in
duced the Sultan to modify his order
refusing foreign extension of aid to the
Armenian victims Of Mussulman fero-
city. His Imperial Majesty consents
that Clara Barton and her party may
distribute relief in his dominions, but he
sternly refuses to recognize the Red
Cross. This is diplomatic victory for
the Sultan. Turkish roads from the
seaboard to the Armenians are made
impossible by snow and ice. No relief
party, with Or without the cross, will be
able to reach them via COnstantinOple
before spring, and meanwhile most Of
the money will be spent in an effort to
overcome natures barriers and the
Turks obstructiveness. Thus, I'M
yeXed by the cross, the Turk will get
the cash. Would it not be judicious on
the part of Minister Terrell to make
known to Miss Barton and her party
that at present Turkey is No Thorough
fare, and advise that both the Red
Cross and the American cash should re-
main out of that part Of the world for
the present? Or shall not Miss Bar
ton address herself to st. Petersburg
for passport to Armenia?

HideOus Become Beautiful Under the
Skill of the Human SCULPTOR.
What seem to be almost miracles are
now performed in the operations of
plastic and dental surgery. If a man
is not satisfied with his nose; if it be
too much of Roman to suit his face,
he can have it made over into a deli
cate Grecian.
AS regards the face, the hare lip is the
most common defect. This trouble is
due to the failure of union between the
margins of the maxillary and the front
nasal bone. 1t not only causes a total
Disagreement of the face, but it makes
speaking an unpleasant matter, both
for the speaker and the nearer. The de-
feet is ordinarily seen in the upper lip,
and is often double, the lip on both
sides of the center being painfully
drawn up. Bad as it looks and incon-
venient as it is, the remedy is as simple
as can be imagined. 1t merely consists
of a triangular incision made under
the nostril. A silk igature is then put

Going to South Africa.

During the last year or two there has
been something Of migration of min
ers from the Western States to South
Africa, and advertisements of rates
and routes to South Africa are printed
in most of the mining papers. The
movement seems to have extended to
others than the miners, and may in
dictate that the emigrants have not
Jared badly. A man advertises in a
recent issue of Deadwood paper that
he will sell at a bargainshis saloons in
Deadwood and in Lead, as he intends
going to South Africa. Whether he ex-
poets to make money out of the mines
or the miners he doesn't state.

The bow in a Roman nose can be effec-
tually reduced. This operation is per
formed entirely from the inside. The
tril and thebone cut away, great care
being taken not to fracture the skin.
The surplus cuticle readily contracts,
and, accommodating itself to the re-
duced space it is required to cover, the
bridge of the nose is left entirely
smooth on the surface, while straight
and comely organ has been produced.
The same operation can be performed
on pug Or upturned nose. This work
is also done from the inside. Enough
Of the cartilage on the tip is taken away
to reduce the excessive protuberance
cnd the same rc~.:.,t as in the case of
the bow is attained.
But the making of new nose to take
the place of the missing one is differ
ent matter. 1t is easy to form the organ
in any shape or size desired out of cellu-
loid or aluminium, or even pasteboard,
and have them fastened by adhesion ;or
held Oh by spectacles, but they are not
good noses. The owner cannot blow
them, and if some one should, in mo-
ment of excessive hilarity, tweak one,
it would be likely to come off. Sur
geons, however, now make noses that
perform all the functions of the natural
organs. After the solid portion is COM
pleted it is, of course, necessary to have
it covered with cuticle. This is done
in various ways. The most ordinary
manner is to cut a triangle of skin from
the forehead and bring it down over the
false bridge. The edges are inserted in
Sits made on each side, when, in the
course of time, being alive and retaining
life from the natural circulation of the
blood, the piece grows fast and per-
feet nose is the result.
Another cause of the defects in the
mouth or the jaws is the absence of the
proper nnmb@' of teeth or in having too
many. But whatever the trouble may
be the expert dental surgeon can re-
move it, and distorted, homely face

treasury is constantly meeting any de-
felt in the revenue by making a new
loan.
But it is in the accumulation of it's
war chest that the most interest is felt
just now. When Russia emerged from
the war with Turkey in 1878, it was
with the determination never again to
begin conflict with foreign power
without being amply prepared for it in
financial sense. The lack of money
was her Embarrassment in the Crimean
war of 1854, but she failed to profit by
the lesson. The second lesson taught
her twenty-four years later seemed to
have made an impression on the mind
of Russian statesmen for they at once

Paper money might serve the govern
ment at home, but it would be of no use
abroad, especially in case of war; So
the contents of this war chest are
known to consist only of gold and it's
size is something startling. The amount
held at home is believed to be equal
to $475,O 100000, while abroad nearly as
much more is safely invested and ready
to be called almost at moments no

This question has recently been dis
cussed among naturalists, and DIR. G..
NJ Gould, of North Carolina. asserts
not only that katydids keep time, but
that they produce a kind of music
which may be described as orchestral.
Both Dr. Gould and another observer
have listened to two orchestras of katy
dds answering one another all night
long. Sometimes individual perform
ers were noticed to drop out of time
but upon the whole the STIMULATION of
these insect bands is harmonious and
in a regular key. Observers do not
agree on the point whether or not there
is a difference of pitch between the
notes of two orcheStraS.

RUSSIAN GOLD.

The War Chest from Which She Offered
Millions to the United States.
Some surprise and a good deal Of in
credulity has been expressed over the
alleged offer Of Russia to loan this
country large sum in gold. The
amount has been variously given as
$50 100000 and $4OO, 100000, and it has
also been stated that the loan was not
rendered recently, but in 1898. The his
toric friendship of Russia for this coun-
try is cited as proof of the truth of the
story.
Russia is usually looked upon as a
poor country and of limited revenues,
Notwithstanding it's great extent OF ter
ritory and millions of inhabitants. This
is long way from the truth, however.
It is true that it's natural resources are
largely undeveloped and that it re-
mains still almost wholly an agflcul-
tural country. But the people are so
frugal and the resources so well hus-
banded that the country is capable OF
yielding q large revenue. The public
income for 1895 is estimated at L.
pa BIS, O3O roubles, having almost dou-
bled since 1883, when the income was
Cos, 9SO,9S3 roubles. The internal taxes
are collected in paper, but much of the
customs dues are paid in gold. The
value of the paper rouble is about &c
cents in our money, while the gold rou-
BILE is valued at about II cents. But as
only about One-tenth Of the revenue is
from customs, it is safe to put the year.
ly income of the government at a little
over $60O,OOO,O0O.
1t is true that Russia has an enor-
nous public debt but it is difficult to
estimate the exact amount. In 1888 it
was computed at $2,75O,O0O,000, OF
about the debt this country owed at
the close Of the war of the rebellion.
1t has increased since, as the Russian

1t is related of Partisan bee masea'
that he brought his hives into the city
and set them up in park adjoining a
sugar warehouse. This may have been
done by way of experiment, or it may
have been mere artfulness. AT any
rate, the busy insects, instead of seek
ing the open flowers in the distant fields
and gardens, turned in at their next
door neighbours. and made themselves
at home with his hogsheads of sugar.
Their gluttony and greed, however,
soon betrayed them, for they were seen
by-and-by f1oundering about on the
pavement, their load of honeyed sweet
ness being more than they could bear.

Nations are composed Of individuals
and governmental policy often is re-
fiected in the utterances of private citi-
zens. Editor Stead boldly says that
while England might be willing to ar
bitrate with strong and powerful ma
ton like the United States, it cannot
think of doing so with Venezuela, and
adds that any civilized nation has a
perfect right to grow and expand it's
borders by conquest if necessary, in
civilizing a savage nation. In other
words, England's policy is might
makes right" And now comes another
Englishman and writes to a Chicago
paper to state this policy with even
more brutal frankness. Says he: ut
is the highest compliment that can be
paid to England to call her a robber
nation. Is it not nobler and better to
be robbers than to be robbed? l say it
is honorable to the AnglO-SaXOn breed
that they are able to rob, to spread
themselves out over the waste places
Of earth, to increase and multiply, to

statesmen to grab all they can and
