STORY OF NOSES,
Why Renowned Generals Had q Ma
sal Organ of Roman Tyne.

why Renowned Generals Had a. M
sal Organ of Roman Type.
The features are developed by the
mind. A child that is reared amid
pleasant surroundings and whose mind
is filed with pleasant thoughts, will
have pleasing face. The shape Of
the nose and chin will depend entirely
upon the strength and character Of the
mental faculties
At 10 boys nose may be small and
turned up at the end, at Is it may have
grown larger and be straight and at 25
it may be pronounced Roman. 1t all de-
ponds upon his mind.
The Romans had big noses with high
bridges because they were a steady
and determined race of people. Sturdi-
ness and determination will give man
a Roman nose, no matter how little or
how snubby his proboscis may have
oeen when he was born. The Greeks
had straight, delicate, finely chiseled
noses because their tastes are artistic
and poetic. You never saw a poet or
an artist with Roman or snub nose,
did you?
On the other hand, it would be hard
to find a great general who had not a
Roman nose. Get pictures of Alexan-
der the Great, Napoleon, Wellington,
Washington or Grant and see if they
have not all got big, strong noses of
the Romanesque type. Yet it is quite
safe to say that if we could have por-
traits of all these personages, taken in
infancy, we would find their olfactory
organs little pudgy affairs, like those
Of the common run Of babies. These
men were not great generals because
they had Roman noses; they had Ro-
man noses because they were great
generals.-San Francisco Bulletin.

HIS OWN PORTRAIT.
How an Artist Paints q Picture of
Himself.

How an Artist Paints q Picture of
Himself.
1t has been common practice with
artists Of all ages and countries to
paint their own pictures, and at the
lUfhzi gallery in Florence can be seen a
magnificent collection Of portraits of
the worlds great painters done by
themselves. It Is coveted honor to be
invited to contribute ones own portrait
to this collection, for one must be emf
nent before this compliment is paid. AS
may be easily understood, painting
ones own portrait is q somewhat trou-
blesome task, for the painter must do.
a good deal from memory, especially
if he puts himself in an attitude which
it Is difficult to reflect in mirror. "A
straightforward portrait looking out Of
the picture is obviously the easiest to
n4-~--dge, for the painter has only to
place the mirror in front of him to see
his model --.s: s~
Triple and quadruple mirrors must
be employed when the attitude is in
any way removed from full face. A
profile would be more difficult to see
for oneself, but a three-quarter face
would be no less so, as in both cases
the artist would be working from re-
Election of a reflection, which, to say
the least of it, is a bothering condition.
The looking at oneself for a long
time is one of the strange and trying
conditions of painting ones own por-
trait, for difficulties and complexities
appear to grow the more one tries tc
grapple with them. Like the road to
the tired traveller, which seems to
lengthen as he goes, SO the difficulties
of painting oneself appear to increase
rather than diminish the more one
looks at oneself.
Apart from painting ones one por
trait, artists largely draw from them
selves, for man can more easily as
sumo a particular attitude than get
another person to do SO. Then for de-
tails, such as a hand, arm, nose, eye,
the artist and mirror supply all that
is required. Another Of the many uses
of a mirror is to revers the work dur
ing it's progress, as re, ersing draw
Ing will often reveal an awkwardness,
rant of balance or faulty drawing,
which might otherwise go undetected.

KILLED BY "A BEAiE BEoNY...
The Loon IL q Dangerous Bird with
Which to Battle.

The Loon IL % DnngeROun Bird with
Which to Battle.
The loon, or great northern diver, Is
a powerful bird The following In
stance OF one OF them conquering a
man happened few years ago:
A young Micmac Indian, living at
Grand Lake, N. S., wanted to get the
skin Of one Of these beautiful birds to
present to his mistress on her birth
day.
One day the youth, who was an adept
at initiating the peculiar sobbing cry Of
the LOOM succeeded in calling q bird
within shooting distance. His shot,
however, failed to kill outright, and
the bird, although SO severely wound
ed that it could neither swim nor dive,
yet retained sufficient life and strength
to remain upright in the water.
The boy, thinking that his game did
not need another shot, swan out to re-
trieve 1t, but when he approached near
enough to seize the bird it suddenly
made dash at him, sending it's head
and neck out with spring like an ar
row from bow. It was only by a
quick duck Of his head that the Indian
succeeded in evading the blow. He
swan about the loon several times, at
tempting to dash in and seize him by
the neck, but the wary bird succeeded
In foiling each effort by continually
facing him and lunging out with his
powerful neck.
The Indian then swan up to within q
few feet Of the bird and, diving under
him with considerable skill, caught
him by the legs. He carried him I'M
der, and, although the bird struggled
hercely, managed to retain his hold.
But when they both rose to the sur
face again a battle royal began, the
Indian seeking to carry his prize
ashore and the bird attempting to re-
gain his freedom. The bird, however,
was too much for his foe and before
the Indian had covered a yard on his
shore bound course disabled him with
a vicious blow from his beak full on
the naked chest.
The effect Of the blow was almost in.
simultaneously fatal, for the beak pene-
trated close to the Indians heart

BrOiling q Steak.

= The broiling of steak often fills the
house with smoke and the meat odor.
In many cases this can be avoided by
as simple an expedient as opening the
hampers Of the stove or range when
the broiler Is put on and letting the
draft carry the fumes up the chimney;

The Trunk Strap.

'No good" said baggage man,

tied around trunk standing in. rail-

rope and securely tied so far as the

on the trunk, and it would have been

close without some mechanical means

loose about it the trunk could have

Reshaped an Idiots Head.

Prof. Woolsey, assisted by Drs.
Christian, Wilson and Mutt, reshaped
the skull of an idiot child at Bellevue
yesterday in the hope that it will de-
velop intelligence. Half a hundred
medical men who witnessed the oper-
alton believe the result sought for will
be obtained.
The subject was Leo Freedman, 8
years old, whose parents live at 4l6
West Fifty-third street. On April %
the child was brought to Bellevue by
its mother, who told the hospital doc
tors that it had never shown any signs
ofintelligence. The doctors have been
dieting the child, preparing it for the
operation. They concluded that the
brain of the child was too large for
the skull and the parts of the skull
should be moved to ease the brain.
Yesterday Prof. Woolsey made an
incision in the scalp as far as the fore
head. Two pieces Of the skull were
then cut out, one on the right side
behind the ear being triangular in
shane. each side of the triangle meas
uring three inches. A small piece Of
the skull on the left side was removed.
This measured II inches along each
side of the triangle. From each open
ing the doctors removed substances
which seemed to have pressed against
the brain, and then they proceeded to
build up the openings in the skull, US
ing strips of celluloid, making Of it a
lattice work resembling the Gaming
used in chair seats. When this work
was done the scalp was sewed back in
place, and the child was removed
from the operating table to a cot.
The doctors said last night that it was
getting along nicely.
This is the first time celluloid has
been used in an operation of this
kind" said the doctor. 81 have
heard of cases where thin gold was
used in the building up process, but
it broke at times. The celluloid will
be more effective. '-NelV York Sun.

THE FIRST BABY.
It's Coming Is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival CT the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most I'M
portant event of married life. The young
wife who is TO become mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear IT lisp
the sweet and holy name, mother.
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pam
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribable fear OF the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use of Mothers Friend"-a scien-
tific liniment-for n few weeks before
the trying hour, eXpectant mothers can
so prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering of the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
il is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es-
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, in
such remedy; for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing OF the dam
ger, which is in store for them. Moth
er's Friend" is woman's greatest bles-
sing, for it takes her safely through the
severest ordeal of her life. Every woman
should be glad to read the little book
Before Baby is Born" which contains
information of great value to all. II

lator Co, Atlanta, Ga.

A Sensation at Winchester.

A recent dispatch from Winchester,
Va, says: A big sensation was caused
here when it became known that three
well-known young men of the town
of hereto excellent character had been
arrested and lodged in Jail at a late
hour last night on charge of robbery.
The men arrested are Harry NJ. An
derson, John Morrison and his broth
err, Thomas Morrison. The victim OF
the robbery is Mr.. Charles Cooper, an
aged resident of Hampshire county,
West Virginia. The crime was COM
mitted about dark on May 20 and the
robbers succeeded in obtaining over
$500 III cash. Living with Mr..
Cooper are Poland Keller and his wife.
About dusk on that evening Keller
heard knock at the door and upon
answering it was confronted by three
masked men, one of whom showed a
revolver in his face and after ordering
him to keep quiet asked where Mr..
Cooper kept his money hid. Just
then Keller's wife appeared and in an
instant another revolver was pressed
against her temple by second
masked man. The third robber then
began to ransack the house for the
money and, coming to Mr.. Cooper's
room, found him in bed. He rolled
the old man over in bed and, reach
ing under the mattress, found 1884,
which he took. After warning the
trio not to make any cutlery the three
men left and, going to belt Of woods
near by, got in vehicle and drove
off in the direction of Capon Bridge.
Just a short distance from the scene
Of the crime resident Of the neigh
borhood, who knew Anderson, one Of
the men arrested, passed him and two
companions a little while before the
hold-up took place. Two of the men
arrested were recognized by Keller
on the street here yesterday in the
large crowd attending Confederate
memorial exercises. The men, it is
stated had been under police suryeill-
ance for several days past and learn
ing that they intended leaving town
the police took them into custody.
The men belonged to excellent fami-
lies and this is the first time they
have been in trouble. They will be
given a preliminary hearing tomorrow
morning and if the evidence warrants
it, they will be taken to Romney, W.
Va, the county seat of Hampshire
county, for trial. Papers for reQui-
sition have been forwarded.

Bushy- allied Animals.

"Some of our wild animals" said
naturalist, "carry about with them
all summer that which nature ha.
evidently intended as a substitute for
their winter fannels. | mean their
tails, of course. So far as | have been
able to Judge the bushy-tailed animals
know no other use for their tails
than as protection against the cold.
Did you ever see fox sleeping? That
is one sight Of which the most patient
student of wild life cannot always
boast, because fox is always wide
awake and has general antipathy to
being looked at. My own observa-
tons with sleeping ones have been
confined to two that l raised from
pups. When it was cold they wo uld
shrink up and seem fairly to wrap
their tails about them. When the
air grew warmer they would uncoil
little and sometimes discard the tail
entirely, just about as impatiently as
a sleeping child will kick off the covers
when he gets too warm in the night.
| do not think that this attitude is
habitual with sleeping foxes. When
the weather was warm they did not
curl up at all, but lay sprawling with
their tails on the ground behind
them.
"The raccoon makes the same use
Of his tail. Did you ever see one pre-
pairing for nap? Like the fox, he
goes to sleep on his side, but he makes
more fuss about it than lazy lad get
ting up in the morning. First he
bitches up his shoulders and arches
his back, and in the cavity thus
formed he carefully tucks away his
knees and elbows and head. Then he
brings his tail up close, the end of
it curving over his head. He unwinds
himself half dozen times before he
gets curled up to his satisfaction, and
when finally arranged he resembles
nothing quite so much as muf with
out the customary openings. The
squirrel also covers himself with his
tail, sleeping upright and propped
against something.
an fact, concluded the naturalist,
"this is true of every bushy-tailed
animal l have been on terms Of sufii-
cient intimacy to see asleep. It is a
very kindly arrangement nature has
made for their comfort, and they do
not seem to mind very much carrying
around their winter fannels in the
summer. If they did not carry them
with them wherever they went they
would probably lose them, as the red
man proves in his tale Of the bear and
the rabbit. "-NcO York Sun.

BY emulating the recent exhibition
Of wild west show eleven-year-old
Frank Beaumont lost his life. He
stationed himself near his home in
Chester, Pa, along the tracks of the
Reading Railroad, and as freight train
No Sc came putting along Frank coiled
a lasso which he had improvised and
with a whoop threw it at the engineer,
who was leaning out ofhis cab window.
The loop circIed over the engineer S
head and settled around his shoulders,
slipping to his arms and tightening
with a jerk as the engine moved swift
ly forward. In order to make sure Of
his prey young Beaumont had already
tied the end of the lasso around his
waist. When the engineer finally sue
ceeded in removing the lasso the body
Of young Beaumont had been dragged
a square, his head being drawn under
the wheels. The engine was stopped
as soon as it was apparent to the star
tied engineer what had happened, and
the boys body picked up. The scalp
had been torn off, his body badly
mangled and life was extinct.
