A BEAUTIFUL PRINTING OFFICE.
The French Government to Remove
It's Plant.

Writing last evening our Paris CORE
spOndent says: The offices OF the National
Printing Presses are to be removed from
the house appropriated to them for near
ly hundred years. but 1t is not yet de-
cidej where they are to be again set up
The change will enable the Government
TO make large profit. if it be not an oc-
cnsion for iobbery- The house where the
National Printing Presses work was built
by the Prince de Soubise. whose wife was
a fayorite of Louis XIV through the
greater part of his reign. The site alone
is worth ci20.0G0 The Duke d'Aumale
offered nearly $4,000 for the panels Of
the room known as the Salon des SinSeS.
There is a timepiece in the former dining
room estimated to be worth &1O,00O, and
dating from the end of the seventeenth
century Two paintings by Boucher over
the doors of the directors office would any
day fetch at least $4,000 piece, and per-

Sometimes historians tell us that 1t was
only Dutchmen and not Englshmen who
bought the red mems land instead OF
stealing it. Such statements have been
made in New York, but if we pass on to
Philadelphia we hear that it was only
Quakers who were thus serupulous. and
wher we arrive in Baltimore we learn
that it was only Roman Catholics. In
point VI fact. IL was the invariable GUS
tom OF European settlers on this Atlantic

recorded in deed to which the Saga

CONCERNING NOSEBLEED.
Facts That Are Useful to Know About
a Common Affection.
(MedicaI Journal.)

Nosebleed is so common in childhood
that little account is ordinarily made
of it. Where il occurs repeatedly
without apparent provocatiOn, how
ever, effort should be made not only to
check the immediate attack, but to as
certain the cause of the trouble. 1t is
well known that heart disease, conges-
ton of the liver, and other conditions
affected by or affecting the circulation
of the blood predispose to nosebleed,
and considerable anxiety is frequently
felt lest the nosebleed of childhood
may be the result of serious constitu-
tutional causes Most commonly the
cause is local.
The best means of checking the i'm
mediate attack is pressure with the fin
ger on the upper lip, just beneath the
nostrils. A small pad of absorbent cot
ton or piece of handkerchief may be
placed inside the lip and tightly pressed
against the gum from without, thus
COMPRISING the two small arteries of
the upper lip that supply the nose.
These can be ordinarily felt pulsating
in this locality.
If the bleeding is prOfuse or pro-
longed, the child should be placed in
reStful position, but with the head
elevated, while ice may be held to the
forehead or the back of the neck. To
decrease still further the blood pressure
within the vessels of the nose, mus
tard footbath is Of service.
In the meantime, blowing the nose
must be avoided. Plugging the nostrils
both in front and back is a last resort
to keep the sufferer from actual peril.
The predisposing causes of nosebleed
are, as has been said, commonly local.
Careful examination of the nose by
the physician is, therefore, always nee
essary in recurrent attacks. Diseased
areas in the nose are usually found, in
which the vessels are spongy and I'M
naturally turgid.
The depression of the child's health
caused by repeated attacks of nose
bleed not infrequently requires atten-
ton. If the trouble is due 10 system
attic weakness, attention is TO be es-
pecially directed TO an improvement OF
the general condition; while if the
lungs are themselves weak, repeated
attacks of nosebleed are sometimes in
dications of the need Of change Of
climate OF Of proper physical exercises
at home.
The formation of scabs or crusts. Of
ten attended in childhood with picking
of the nose must not be overlooked
as a cause of nOsebleed. Watchfulness
NAV be required to prevent the forn1a-
ton of an unfortunate habit, but the
affected spots must also be treated with
ointment or other simple means of
healing.

Mrg. Ogden Mills In Paris.

Another famousIy well dressed Amer
ican woman at the Paris exposition is
Mrs. Ogden Mills, who takes her tea
every afternoon in the lovely garden
of that choicest little hotel on the Place
Vendome Mrs. Mills wore, the other
afternoon. an enchanting little suit of
black and white striped silk, the skirt
so tucked that all the black stripes
converged at the waist line. Over
these tucks ran scallOps of stitching
done in black. and the waist opened
broadly upon the shoulder and bust to
display a yoke and vest of white en-
broidered silk. Tabs of turquoise blue
velvet depended from the front of the
yoke, where a scarf of black chiffon
knotted upon the bust and wide CIR
die of blue belted her slender waist.
A big blue hat, bearing four stately
black plumes, decked the fair tea
drinkers dark head, and one noticeable
point concerning these two gowns was
their brevity of train. There is coming,
as inevitably as the Campbells, an era
of trains in comparison with which all
others we have ever worn will seem as
tadpole tails beside the tail of comet.
Four feet of goods on the ground is
the most recent fiat of the fashion
solons, and this first aid to the street
sweepers is further extended by a
splendid Iargess Of ruffies making in
all a train sometimes yard fiat upon
the floor.

the charmed circle. They spoke of the
officers in the drive whist parties in
San Anton as lot of snobs, whose sole
task in life was TO wear uniforms and
feed on the government. They longed
for a war, for they felt it would soon
sweep these annoying persons out of
existence. But no one ever made such
comments of Miss Willard. They saw
her riding almost daily about the
streets, and her fine seat and queenly
manner was their sole. basis of judg-
ment. 1t was sufficient, however, and
they were right, for the elements of
noble character rang true in Miss Mil
