Robert Tigue. of 1ll2 Lafayette
street, who had a part of his nose
bitten off by a horse several weeks
ago. will not suffer from any noticeable
deformity, thanks to the skill of the
modern physician. The young man was
in the employ of Heiser & Warnke.
and when the firm purchased a new
team. he went to the stable to look
them over. and as he was admiring
them, one of the horses snapped at
him and bit off portion of his nose.
When he was taken to the hospital,
the physicians decided upon a skin
grating process to replace the imper-
feet nose. Tigue underwent five Oper-
stions. in which pieces of flesh werc
cut from his arm and grated onto his
nose. The operations have been so
successful that he expects to be dis
charged from the hospital next week.
At first the physicians expected to
attach the flesh from the arm on the
nose and sever 1t afterwards, but this
was deemed impracticable and the
open grating process was resorted to-.
with the above e-mentioned result
A peculiar coincidence IN connection
with the case was that the horse died
about the time the second operation
was performed on young Tigue.

Team Has Been Picked to Meet the
Roseville Stars.

Captain Charles Fowler has picked
the team with which he will meet the
Roseville bowlers tomorrow night at
the Green Ridge Wheelmens club
alleys. and although not by any means
sanguine Of victory, expects to give the
New Jerseymen an excellent argument.
On his team will be Smith. a star
member of the Boston Athletic asso-
ciation's team; Jack Taylor. of the
Black Diamonds; Frank Beavers, cap
tain of the same team; Howard Davis
and Fowler himself.
On the Roseville side there will be
the same quintette of formidable bowl
ers who met the all-star team on the
Elk alleys. Captain Van Ness, Meyer.
Pierson. Wood and Dietrich are the
men who will oppose the local tenpin
artists The match will be wholly a
club affair. None but members will be
present, nor will there even be any
lady visitors. This is occasioned by the
fact that the seating capacity is I'm
tied, and an attendance of members
alone will more than crowd the alleys.

The facetious chemist once took AN
ordinary cotton handkerchief and
soaked 1t in nitric and sulphuric acids.
Then. after IA time, he took 1t out and
rinsed it carefully so as to remove the
free acid. 1t looked then like any other
cotton handkerchief. 1t went to the
washerwoman, who put it through all
the waters that handkerchiefs go
through, hung it out on the line, and
took it in again when it was dry. She
spread it out on the ironing board put
the hot iron on it, and-it Went away.
There was n flash, a puff of smoke. and
then-no handkerchief. not even the
ashes of one. When you consider how
frightened the washerwoman must
have been at such gongs-on in the

must have been lest the gentleman
should think she had stolen his hand
