All Asphalt and Bitlmen Transferred
to the Dutiab!e List.
Which Are the Only Changes Of importance in
the Regular Bill.

Washington, March 1S.-The tariff
bill will he reported to the House, Fri
day. This was the conclusion reached
by the Republican members of the
ways and means committee at a meet
ing. today. The only other matter of
Importance agreed upon was the trans
ferring of all asphalt and bitumen to
the dutiable list. The rate was fixed
at $1.50 ton on asphalt not dried and
not advanced in any way. A duty OF
So a ton was placed on asphalt in more
advanced stages.
The purpose of placing asphalt on
the dutiable list was principally be-
cause more revenue was needed and

of the commodity. Several hours were
spent in making verbal amendments
to the bill and correcting the phrase

And an Unjust Suspicion, Eighteen Year,
Old. Was Dispelled.
"That time when I was dumped and
robbed in the house Of my friends" said
the old politician, II was so disguised that
pulled up stakes and decided to try a
new community in the west. While was
out there prospecting for location came
across country judge whom had known
as boy. He had stolen my knife, my
rabbits and my pigeons. He became in.
corrigible and was sent to the reform
school. 1t was the popular verdict that he
would never be any good, and he was held
up as terrible example to the rest of US
boys.
II thought it my duty to give the good
people out there warning and took a
prominent man of the place into my con.
fidcnce. He had implicit faith in the
squire and believed him as good man as
they had in the state.
It's easily tested said, and you
can't afford to have a dishonest man in his
position. Here's promissory note given
me 20 years ago, and Endorsed it at the
time. l loaned that follow money to get
out of town and turn over new leaf He
vowed by all that's good that he'd repay
me, and this is all have to show for my
investment. If he's an honest man, he'll
make some settlement
Gwen see, said the squirrels friend.
In an hour they came back together, and
the squire gave my hand a wiring that
started tho tears. Il paid that paper Is
years ago, he declared. Here's the receipt.
wondered why you never wrote me. >
There 1t was. With it was letter from
the man that was then my lawyer, saying
that the note had been mislaid and that
the receipt would serve.
I'm five days the squire and Iwere back
to the old town. The man who had bought
the nomination from under me was the
rascally lawyer to whom the money had
been paid. You should have heard the
squire comb the sneak down and then
make him resign in my favor. We don't
need men any more honest than that same
Justice OF the peace that suspected. ~

r. BUILDING NOSES.

Ii Used.

Aluminium ~ . Foundation and How It
L. Used.
In this era of reconstruction through
which Now York Is passing even noses
come in for their share of reinodeling and
rebuilding So many people are afflicted
with disflguring disease which eats away
the bones Of the nose and face that ''plas-
tic surgery" has felt called on to find
means 70 restore broken or dccayetl noses
to their original beauty or even to i'm
prove on that.
DIR. Robert Weir was among the first to
discover practical solution. He expert
mented with some success in transplant
ing bones of living fowls to the human
;ace One of his earlier operations was
conducted in stuffy little Harlem fiat.
His patient was stretched on the table I'M
der ether; her face was laid open and
streaming blood, but the duck, not rcceiv-
ing due attention, had escaped unnoticed
from the assistant. "Now, DOCTOR" said
DR.. Weir to a dignificd participant, "oblige
me by half killing that bird and let me
have about three inches from its breast
bone for this girls nose
Amid the grewsome surroundings there
We're ten minutes of vigorous exercise in
catching the bird and reducing it to
state of insensibility. Since then he has
dispensed with live birds and has turned
his attention to gutta percha, rubber, sill
yer and gold for nose bridges. All these
tailed because electrical action was gener-
ated requiring further operations. Finally
pure aluminium was resorted to with sat
isfactory results. Now the nose bone is
made Of that metal.
1t has stout hook at the upper end, by
which it is secured to the base of the fore
head, while the other end is held out from
the face by two short legs, terminating in
sharp spikes, which are anchored in the
bone. There is no necessity for ugly scars,
because the operation is carried on entire
ly beneath the skin. A long incision is
made under the upper lip above the teeth,
80 that the whole flap Of the face can be
turned back like mask or an old glove.
Then, when the metal framework is Sc
cured, the skin is drawn down again, and
the nose tissue is shaped into Grecian,
Roman or pug nose, as desired.
Seven years ago DR.. Weir got his first
ideas from French publications, but has
since made many notifications and i'm
provements. Other prominent surgeons
have followed his example, such as DIR.
Abbc, DIR. Powers of Denver and Dr.
Knight. The operation 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 natural.-New
