REBUILDING NOSES.
Aluminium as Foundation and
How 1t Is Used.

In this era Of reconstruction, through
which New York is passing, even noses
come in for their share Of remodelling
and rebuilding. So many people are
afflicted with q disfiguring disease
which eats away the bones Of the nose
and face that plastic surgery" has
felt called on to find means to restore
broken and decayed noses to their
original beauty, or even to improve on
that. DR.. Robert Weir was among the
first to discover a practical solution.
He experimental with some success
in transplanting bones of living fowls
to the human face. One Of his earlier
operations was conducted in q stuffy
little Harlem fiat His patient was
stretched on the table under ether; her
face was laid open and streaming
blood; but the duck, not receiving due
attention, had escaped unnoticed from

DIR. Weir to abedignif1ed participant,
"oblige me by half killing that bird
and let me have about three inches
from its breastbBneffor this girls nose"
Amid the gfewsome surroundings
there were teho minutes of vigorous
exercise in catching the bird and re-
ducing it to asstate Of insensibility.
Since then he Has dispensed with live
birds and has tdarTied his attention to
gutta percha, rubber, silver and gold

WASHINGTON, Feb. Isl found
the servants packing up President
Cleveland's things when 1 visited the
White house today. The most of his
and Mrs. Cleveland's personal property
is already in boxes. and much of it
will be shipped away before the 4th
of March l saw Mr.. Cleveland's first
load of household goods come into the
presidential mansion. 1t was on the
day that he was inaugurated. He had
been sworn in at the capitol, but had
not vet come to the White house to
take his place on the grand stand
there and review the procession. There
was a big crowd waiting about the
White house to see him, when an eX-
press wagon drove up, and, with the
assistance of a policeman, passed
through. This wagon was piled high
with trunks and boxes, and upon the
top of it was a bright new baby car
riage. How the crowd cheered when
they saw it! They bowed down at
once to Baby Ruth, even as they had
been bowling down to Baby Mckee
for the past four years. 1t was the
strongest evidence l had yet seen that
Harrison as a president was dead and
Cleveland, the new president, alive.
So it is tOday-PreSident Cleveland is
almost forgotten in the preparations
for President Mckinley. Pennsylvania
avenue is already lined with stands
built up for the inaugural procession.
Flags are being bought by the thous-
N in his honor nd op
Ebbitt house, where he is to stay for
the night of March 8, has had the car
penters, painters, plumbers and up
hOlsterers at work for two weeks get
ting ready for him. They have had
a new bath room, with walls Of the
purest white marble, built for him.
The carpets upon which he is to walk
have never been used before, and the
woven wire mattress upon which his
stately limbs will lie will give it's first
creak for him. Even the mirrors be-
fore which he will dress for the inaug-
Ural ceremony will be new. By their
reflection he will put on his new suit
of black broadcloth woven by a New
England factory for this very day,
and will then go down and eat his
bICdhloSl III d uSW private
room, before he orders the new car
rage which is to be sent here from
the Ohio factory, to call upon the old
president, and then go out in state to
the capitol to become a brand new
president himself
HOW TO SEE THE INAUGURATION
This change from the old president
to the new is one of the most interest
ing sights in the world A great gov
eminent is transformed in the twin
king of an eye, and every four years
this wonderful change takes place. 1t
will be great sight this year, and it
is expected that there will be at least
hundred thousand strangers here to
see it. Washington is preparing for
them, and she expects that at least a
million dollars will be spent by them
here on March 4. This would be only
$40 a person, and that is not much for
a; traveller to spend in Washington.
You can live here cheaper now than
ever before. The citizens of the capital

look upon the inauguration as their
reception to the president, and they
have made full arrangements for the
comfort Of their guests. There are
twenty-one committees at work. and
things are to be done this year on a
broader and grander scale than ever
before. Old Washingtonians tell me
that they are determined no one shall
be cheated if it can be possibly helped.
They have established what is known
as the department of public comfort,
and by writing here any one can get
full information about board or lodg-
ing, and he can even engage them in
advance of his coming. There are in
the neighborhood of 10000 lodging plac-
es already registered. Every one of
these has been inspected by the agents
Of this department, and only those
which are respectable have been put
upon the list.
WHAT 1T ALL COSTS.
The accommodations are of all kinds.
You can get place to stay over night
for so cents but at this rate you will
have to sleep on a cot with from six
to ten other persons in the same room.
Or you can pay as high as SIS a day
in which case you may have a good
double bed, with a tiled bath room at
tached. There are more than forty
rooms of this kind which have been
given by people who want to make a
little money out of the Inauguration
and who in some cases own their own
houses. These prices are for rooms
without board. The bearing houses, of
which there are 200 in Washington,
will charge from 81 to So a day for
board and lodging, and you will have
to pay about the same in the private
houses which will take boarders for
the occasion. The best way to do, if
you wish to visit Washington at this
time, is to send a letter to Col. Wright,
Of the department of public comfort,
telling what kind of accommodations
you want and inclosing a check for S..
He will engage a place for you and
will hand your check over to the per-
son with whom you are to stop. Upon
your arrival at the depot a boy in
uniform will meet you and direct you
where to go.
PRICES OF WINDOWS, ETC,
There are in the neighborhood of
100000 people living in Washington. It
is safe to say that 100000 Of them will
be on the streets at the time Of the
grand procession. This added to the
900 strangers will make 100000. It is
estimated that there is room for this
many people to stand on both sides Of
Pennsylvania avenue along the line Of
March. You could easily crowd 100, 900
about the capitol steps, and there will
be room in Lafayette park and in other
places about the grand stand. President
Mckinley will deliver his address on
the front steps of the capitol He will
review the procession from the grand
stand in front of the White house. This
stand is now being put up. AS much
delay has possible has been made con-
corning 1t, owing to the wishes Of
President Cleveland. Putting up such
a stand in front of the White house is
like erecting a gallows in Jail yard
in sight Of the man to be executed.
Every blow Of the hammer is a warn
ing to Cleveland that his end Is ap-

cause electrical action was generated
requiring further operations. Finally,
pure aluminium was reSOrted to with
satisfactory results. Now the nose
bone is made of that metal.
It has a stout hook at the upper end
by which it is secured to the base of
the forehead, while the other end is
held out from the face by two short
legs terminating in sharp spikes which
are anchored to the bone. There is no
necessity for ugly scars, because the
operation is carried on entirely be-
meath the skin. A long incision is
made under the upper lip above the
teeth, so that the whole flap of the
face can be turned back like a mask
or an old glove. Then when the metal
framework is secured the skin is drawn
down again, and the nose tissue is
shaped into a Grecian, Roman or pug
nose, as desired.
Seven years ago DR.. Weir got his
first Ideas from French publications,
but has since made many modifica-
tions and improvements. Other prom
inent surgeons have followed his ex-
ample, such as DR.. Able, DIR. Powers,
of Denver, and DR.. Knight. The oper-
alton is comparatively simple, and all
have succeeded in restoring noses,
which, If they are not of service in
distinguishing bad odors from good,
are at least beautiful In looking natu-

ing theater capes is silk crepon of the
very much crinkled variety. This in
black, lined with canton flannel for
warmth and stiffness, and with pink
brocade from the bargain counter or
green and white taffeta or yellow
moir for beauty, and trimmed with an
edge Of mink fur, is wrap that de-
serves the epithet of stunning vul-
garity applied to it. Less frivolous,
but perhaps more durable, are the
capes of dark Indian red, army blue
or bottle-green broadcloth, lined with
bright silks and trimmed with fur
An apparently extravaganza cape Is
made of black silk crepOn, covered en-
tirely with accordion-plaited chiffon.
Over the chiffon long Van Dykes Of
white lace fall, and the cape and high
rolling collar are edged with fur. Of
course, the airy fabric of which this
wrap is made would render it unfit
for women of ordinary means, were it
not for the fact that the chiffon and
lace oVercapes are removable, so that
in damp weather its owner simply
lays them aside and goes forth in her
crepon cape.
If one cannot have a brocaded velvet
cape some charming substitutes for it
are found in capes Of broadcloth, so
soft that they have almost the sheen
of plush, braided in black and gold.
The pattern is first covered in rather
wide black braid, and at each edge Of
this the narrowest of gold cords are
stitched This style Of cape should be
lined with yellow brocade or taffeta,
and edged with cocks feathers.
When neither fur nor feather trim
ming is obtainable, thrifty women
make bands Of ribbon or lace edging
On a band Of black ribbon half al
inch wide, black baby ribbon is laid in
close loops, so that a fluffy edging an
inch and half wide is the result. Or
narrow black lace is gathered fully
and sewed on a ribbon band in four or
five parallel lines, making thick frill
Both of these form very pretty cape
trimmings.

but forgive US the Islander when it is
explained on the basis that men lead
far more active lives, which bring them
constantly into contact with a much
greater number of comparable COM
binatiOns and more complex variety
of objects than are possible for the
average woman with her usual exist
ence, thus gaining for masculinity per-
force greater visual discrimination and
appreciation.
1t may be pointed cut as an illustra-
ton OF the absolute necessity for re-
curing associations to gain the proper
ideas of true extension and space that
people living in the Eastern United
States, and, for that matter, in any
cloudy, moisture-laden atmosphere
with circumscribed vistas, get a set of
distance memories or impressions, de-
pendent upon that environment, which
are wholly at fault in the clear, dry
nigh attitudes, say Of our desert South
west. In that particular region dis
tances which have doubled themselves
in miles almost haIve themselves to
the eye mind, and the ludicrous stories
Of tourists who have started out for an
appetlzing walk to the base of a noun
tain, apparently five miles away.
though in reality twenty, before break
fast, are often literally true.
DISTANCE AND SIZE.
Unconsciously we teach ourselves
through the years Of childhood to dis
cr1mlnate distance and size together
SO that the ordinary grown man sees
known objects far off with the same
idea of height as similar ones close
at hand. But the artist needs draw
the distant man in his picture perha DIS
one-third the size of him in the fore
ground to secure the proper relations
in perspective. But the unframed
draughtsman, not understanding the
principle of decreasing angle of vision
for objects more remote, and feeling
that six foot men are six foot men,
attempts to make similar objects the
same relative height. failing dismally
to portray the idea Of nature as she
is seen on a fiat surface, and disturb
ing the moral equanimity of his
aesthetlcally inclined friends.
1t would have been a legitimate
procedure to have started with the
babies scientifically legitimate), and
to have said that babies cannot see at
all. 1t is a dangerous statement, one
calculated to irrftate a mothers heart,
for every little tootsy- wootsy is just
the brightest cutest, smartest bundle

balance of these units in the mind.
DECEPTIVE OPTICAL ILLUSIONS.
Any number of so-called optical iiIu-
SlonS have been invented by clever
people, which wholly deceive the I'M
trained eye, though by enough associ-
alton with these selfsame illusions they
fade away and true conceptions take
their place. One believes certain things
to be true and then discovers that all
is false, and sees with the intelligent
eye Of attained knowledge.
Many Of the devices originated to
deceive the eye are very fascinating
Perhaps the highest art in this direction
is practiced by sleight of hand perfor-
mers. Our theatrical effects and me-
chanical aids have all been conceived
for this end, and mechanical toys, which
Whfrl and spin against the laws of
nature, are many.
Drawings of geometrical figures and
placing them in new relations often
totally confuse the minds idea of size
and distance
Lines of equal length and subdivided
In the center by placing V shaped pieces
with apexes over the division dots and
varying the direction make them ap-
pear unequal, and that it is not really
the case cannot be determined at first
T..
Lines which are parallel may be made
to appear to curve outward or inward
by drawing radiating lines from one or
two common centers between them
An exceedingly curious eye deceiver
Is found in the figures Of man and
boy walking down corridor, in which
the figures Of the boy and man are
exactly the same height, but the hall
way is drawn in true receding perspec-
tive.
Rotating wheels have long been con-
sidered a clever fantasy, and by ro-
teting or wabbling a card with half a.
dozen circles drawn in heavy black
lines, grouped in a circle by them
selves, an illusion of motion is pro-
duced.
Steps drawn in outline can be made
to appear as an overhanging wall by
riveting the attention on them.
And SO on and on through a very
long series of plain drawings. which
are not at first what they seem, can
the eye eventually be trained to a Just
appreciation Of truthful comparison.
1t is only a matter Of practice.
