THE POWER OF BEAUTY.

Heart Of Her Would he Assailaut.
A most remarkable case Of conjugal in
felicity was revealed in o Chicago court
the other day. DIR. James c. Quicker. q
professor In the Postgraduate Medical
college, was charged with hiring man to
throw vitriol in his wife's face and "spoil
her beauty" The evidence against him
was so convincing that he was held to
await the action of the grand Jury.
Charles W. Hill WINS the principal wit
ness. He swore that DR.. Quicker promised
tn give him so IL he would throw the con-
tents of bottle in q young woman's face,
and says he accepted the offer on account
OF poverty. He did not know at first that
the woman was DIR. Ducker's wife.
He went TO Mrs. Ducker's home to get
the lay of the land. BY accident he caught
sight Of Mrs. Quicker, and her beauty soft
ened him. Instead Of lying in wait for
her with the mysterious fluid which the
doctor was to give her he went TO her and
confessed everything.
Acting under instructionsof Ms. Duck

PIE Have Crooked Noses.
A professor Of physical culture an
oounces that he has discovered an in.
innate connection between deformities
Of thu nose and the position Of the feet
His name il II. L. Piner. and he CON.
municates his observations to the New
York Journal:
"You can tell . pigeontoed person
without looking at his feet or seeing
linn walk. The discovery was made by
me In 1891 while teaching physical
culture. found a stubborn awkward.
ness in the movements Of my pupils
feet. Looking for the cause, found
that many Of them were piseontoed.
In others one foot was correct and the
other turned in.
lin teaching correct breathing had
to investigate the condition Of the nasal
passages Then I found that wherever
the person was pigeontoed in the right
loot the right nostril was stopped up or
otherwise deformed. 1t was the same
with the left foot or nostril. II both
nostrils were defective, both feet were
pigeontoed.
At one time examined 20 persons,
and every one Of them was pigeontoed
in the left foot, with a corresponding
defect in the left nostril. At another
time examined over 20 with view to
testing my discovery. Some Of them had
well developed nostrila and were not at
all pigeontoed. Some had overwide
nostrils. with overwide angles at the
feet to correspond.
"Girls found more generally and
worse pigeontoed than boya The per-
son who has a whining or snuftling
voice IS usually pigeontoed.
"Anotber discovery is that with the
defective nostrils were found invariably
stopped shoulders and hollow chests, the
stoop and hollow always bearing a
direct ratio with the defect. In extreme
cases there was an ugly protrusion of
tho abdomen, o tendency to draw back
and upward the upper lip, exposing the
teeth, that have also an upsightly pro-
truding tendency.
"Tell your friend to walk from you.
Watch his feet II the left turns in, tell
him that his left nostril is smaller than
the right. That is, that he can take
more air atany given inspiration through
the right than through the left nostril
alone. II. the right foot turns in, tell
him his right nostril il the smaller.
Conversely, tell him to place the
end Of the thumb under and against the
nostrils alternately, breathing through
the open one each time, and ask him
which nostril admits the greater amount
Of air. II it is the left, tell him be is
piseontoed in the right foot and vics
versa Demonstrate by having him walk
naturally.
Remember that the proper angle il
30 degrees on either side Of tho mediau
line, or 60 degrees with both feet Dc
not close the nostril from the aide, but
gently from underneath.
