THE NOSE.

Nothing is more rare than a
really perfect nose-that is, one which
unites harmony of form, correctness
of proportion and proper affinity with
the other features.
The following are, according to the
rules of art, the conditions requisite
to the beauty of this organ:
The nose should have the same
length as the forehead and have a
slight depression at its root. From
its root to its extremity should follow
a perfectly straight line and come
exactly over the center of the upper
lip. The brid ge of the nose, parallel
on both sides, should be little wider
in the center. The tip should be
neither too thin nor too fleshy, and its
lower outline neither narrow nor too
wide. The lobes must be gracefully
defined by a slight depression. Seen
sideways, the lower part Of the nose
will have but third of its total
length.

LIFE ON A BATTLESHIP.

"Life on battleship is no holiday
excursion" said an old mariner, who
knows thing or two about guns and
things Of that sort, to the New Or
leans 7imes-Democrat, "and the young
man who would pick out this kind of
a life with the idea that it would be
one grand, sweet round of pleasure
would miss the mark.
"No doubt there are many young
men who are extremely anxious to
be abroad one of these big battleships
when the guns unllmber, but I am in
clined to think that just one expert
ence would be enough for the average
young man. Now, l do not belong to
the branch of Uncle Sans fighting
force, but my experience has taught me
many things while at sea, and know
something about these big guns. Take
these 13-inch guns now in use on the
big battleships. When these guns are
fired there is something going on. 1t
is awful. No man can stand to be
near them without an appeal to pro-
lection of some sort. In the first place
the men are forced to fill their ears
with cotton. One young gentleman
from Annapolis failed to do this on
one occasion, and he has not been able
to hear anything since. The mere
fac: that the gun decks are bolted
down ought to give some idea of the
amount of force involved in the dis
charge of one of these guns. The
stuffing of the ears with cotton is
absolutely necessary. The discharge
of a 13-inch gun creates tremendous
vacuum. II literally pulls all the air
out of the ears of men who are close to
the gun. Here is where the danger
comes in. The reactionary force is
something terrific, and unless the ear
is protected by the use of cotton the
air would rush back into the ear with
such force that the drum would be in
danger of serious and permanent in.
jury. The drum of the ear would not
stand the quick but violent return of
the air. Hence the use of cotton has
been resort to while firing these big
guns. There is an instant on record
where the rushing of the air into the
vacuum caused by the discharge of one
of these guns was so forciful that it
broke the lock of a door near BY,
which had been carelessly left closed
for the men usually take the precau-
tion to open the doors on occasions
of this kind. Standing near 13-inch
gnn when it is in operation would cure
the naval ambition of many young
men. l am sure that it would proba-
bly, convince men who are much older
in the ways of the world that the men
who represent the sea fighting force Of
the United States government have
no easy time"

WHY THEY LAUGHED.

1t was past noon on Christmas day,
and Mr.. Busybee had just consulted
his watch for the fifteenth time in an
hour, wondering how he was to get
through the day without one peep at
the office.
His thoughts were suddenly inter-
rupted by the appearance of his wife,
who dashed into the room, seated her.

into tears.
II DIDO believe the people of th-this
town are the most ill-bred specimens
Of hu-humanity on the face of the
globe ?" she sobbed.
"But, my love, what has caused
you to change your mind so sudden

morous in the fact that you gave me

"Then is there anything very pecu-

in my wearing the sacque to church

"Why, dear, the peculiar fact would

"All through service it was the

THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.

In spite of the fact that the word
dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it
will not be fair for many to lay the
blame onthe cook if theybegin theXmas
Dinner with little appetite and end it
with distress or nausea. 1t may not he
fair for any to do that--let US hope so
for the sake of the cook The disease
dyspepsia indicates bad stomach,
rather than a bad cook, and for weak
stomach there is nothing else equal to
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t gives the
stomach vigor and tone, cures dyspep-
sia, creates appetite, and makes eating
the pleasure it should be.

Seleft MisfeIlunu.
Doctor Deane's Remuneration.
A Story for the New Year.
BY NJ. CORBET SEYMOUR.

1t was the evening of the thirty first
of December, and the year was ending
with glorious winter weather. The
ground was hard frozen, but not even
a holly or an evergreen rustled, and the
branches of the bare trees were per-
fectly still.
The moon began to rise above the
hill tops, pale, but growing brighter
every m ,ment, and the calm of nature
seemed particularly pleasant and rest
ful to Doctor Deane, because the day
had been both busy and an anxious
one. Wrapping himself in plaid, he
had gone out to enjoy his cigar in the
garden which surrounded his old-fash-
ioned country cottage, feeling fairly
sure that no one would be in need Of
his service that night.
People in that neighborhood like d
Doctor Deane, but spoke of him as a
man absolutely devoted to his profes-
son, and who cared neither to visit
nor to be visited
He was a well bred, we'll looking
person ofperhaps eight and forty years;
courteous, yet reserved in manner.
Never had he been known to speak Of
his own past history; never had he re-
vealed-even to the most inpuisitive
Of his women paticnts-how it hap
pened that he remained unmarried
A sudden noise broke the sweet
silence. The distinct gathering of
horses hoofs was very near, though
the winding of the lane prevented any
animal from being yet visible.
The Doctor stood waiting. Then
there came sliding sound, muttered
exclamation, heavy fall. He hurried
out to find horse and rider gone down
on the slippery roadway but without

Annual Meeting Postponed.

The annual meeting of the Water
vile Board of Trade was to have been
held, last evening, and notices were
sent out accordingly, yesterday MORN
ing. When the meeting was called to
order by Pres. Hill, in the alderman's
room, that officer stated that the no.
tice for the meeting had been so short
that it appeared to him the members
of the board had not had the oppor-
tunity to arrange for the meeting
Pres. Hill was also of the opinion that
the meeting should adjourn for one
better chance to attend and elect such
officers as they may deem best. Upon
motion of Hon. p. S. Head the meeting
was adjourned until next Monday
evening. at which time it is hoped there
Will be full attendance. Just prior
to adjournment. J. II. Gould was elect
ed member of the board.
There appears to be great need for
an active board of trade in this city.
The present board has been active DUR
ing the past year and has, it is believed,
accomplished some good. This year,
particularly, there is a demand for or
ganized effort on the part Of citizens
to advance the city's interests in many
ways and this can be done by a wide
awake board of trade. This is Cen
tennial year and there will be abund-
ant opportunity to whoop Ter up.

CONVERSION.
Most of Them Occur at the Critical
Age of Man S Life.

1t is reasonably certain that very few
conversions occur before the age of 10 or
after that of %, and that most of the con-
versions taking place within these limits
there, the largest number is found at the
age of 16. This conclusion is gathered
from several thousand cases collected in
various ways in various parts of the
country. Looking a little more closely at
the critical years from II to 20, we find
that. though the conversions are spread
out through the whole period. they tend
to occur most often in three waves-from
IL and IL, JIG and II and about 19-the mid
die wave being considerably higher than
the others. The largest number of con-
versions falls at is, because this is the
time of most active mental fermentation
and this fermentation, in turn. in con-
nected with the most rapid part of the
organic change as its counterpart or sup
plement. When we ask for the meaning
OF the other accentuated ages, II and Is
and 10, we tread on less firm ground.
But in general the first wave can he
traced TO mental conditions incidental to
the passage from one physiological period
to another, and the last one to an intel
leetual or deliberative settling down after
the tumult of new emotions has begun
to wane.
Leaving out of account New Testament
usage. we may say that in the everyday
speech of the people conversion means
one or more of three things-namely,
first returning to God after a vicious, re-
second, personal desire on the part of q
child or youth upon reaching religious
self-consciousness; third. certain emo
tional and impulsive experiences which
frequently accompany conversion in the
first sense and sometimes in the second.
Many persons, apparently, would not
give the name conversion to anything
short of the third of these meanings,
while others would apply it to the first
and third. and still others to all three
1t appears that the second wave of
adolescent religious interest represents
the most favorable time for conversions
in the third sense, and in general for
those that involve strong agitation.
A further result of the psychology of
conversion is clearer insight into indi-
vidual differences. and particularly into
the emotional and impulsite experiences
already mentioned as constituting one OF
the popular meanings of conversion.
These phenomena are made possible by
the concurrence of definitely ascertained
conditions. They occur in persons Of GER
tain temperamcntS and tendencies under
the influence of expectation, or emotional
appeal, or social contagion. This does
not imply that conversions of this type
are less genuine than others or that emo
tional pressure and social contagiun are
altogether out of place in revival work.
But we should see to it that methods
that tend to produce such phenomena are
strictly subordinated to the religious end.
