Moving Vans for Transoceanic Use.
Vans for moving household furni-
ture from one city to another are
much more common in Germany and
other parts of Europe than in the
United States. These vans, which are
owned by companies with agents in
different cities, are loaded with fur
niture and other household goods at
residences, hauled on trucks to the
railroad, and loaded on fiat cars for
their destination. Here, they are re-
ceived by the company's local agents
and are unloaded at the house where
the furniture is to 60. When posi-
BILE, the van is reloaded in the same
vicinity and sent back to the place of
starting. Thus, one may see in Italy
or France furniture vans from Ber-
lin or Dresden.
The saving in packing, the avoid
ance of extra drayage, and of the
danger of breakage have made the
system popular, especially in Ger
many. The vans in use vary some
what in size, many of them being as
large as an American box car.
Recently, efforts have been made
to extend the system so as to provide
for the shipment of household goods
across the ocean. A New York stor-
age and van company has established
connections in various parts of Ea-
rope and proposes to send vans
abroad when satisfactory arrange
ments can be made. If man living
in New York, for example, wishes to
remove to city of Germany, he will
be furnished with one or more vans,
in which his household goods are
placed. The van is transferred to the
ship, and, on landing at the foreign
port, is again transferred to the rail-
way fiat car or river boat and carried
to it's destination.

THE PATRICAN NOSE.
Its Chastity of Tint and Outline En-.
dangered by High Living and
Low Thinking.

The molding influences which render
product of culture seems mainly trace
able to a close association which ex-
lists between certain muscles attached
to the more flexible parts of the nose
and those in the immediate neighbour
hood. Nowhere is the lasting mark of
dominant mental habits more plainly
seen than in the muscles about the
mouth, says Blackwood's Magazine.
They are continually in action, when
we exercise the whether in self
control or in attempts to control other
men or things-and every time they
come into play they give Christening
tug at our noses. Finally it may be
said that for the maintenance of pa
trician nose at its best, a well-balanced
mind is almost as necessary as care.
fitness in outward behavior. It's chas-
tity Of tint and outline is endangered,
not only by high living and low-think-
ing, but also by the habitual and unre-
strained indulgence of emotions gen.
orally deemed innocent, and even
laudable. These, through their
strange secondary influence upon the
nerves which regulate the circulation
and nutrition of the skin and face, are
quite capable of inducing certain
coarseness of expression curiously
akin to that induced by indulgence in
vicious pleasures. Herein, perhaps,
may be found some sort of crude and
general recipe for an aristocratic nose,
which is offered in all good faith-but
with no absolute warranty-to every
one with good powers of mental assim-
ilation.
There can be no doubt that the ordi-
nary plebeian nose, with it's somewhat
low bridge, concave profile and wide
nostrils is, above all others, the nose
which is proper to mankind. AL 9th
er types are developed from it. Even
now the whole human species, of what
ever race, possesses it in early infancy.

CAssAvA ROOT FOR CATTLE,
Chicago Packers to Make Extensive
Experiment. in Feeding.

Plans considered year ago have
now been pushed to the point where
certain packing establishments in
Chicago have begun experiments on
what may prove a revolution of the
cattle industry Of the country, re-
ports the St. Louis Republic.
The project involves the settlement
Of several hundred thousand acres OF
what is at present nearly valueless
land in northern and northwestern
Florida and southern Alabama, the
cultivation on large scale of the
cassava root, and it's use in feeding
cattle and hogs. If the plan develops,
the southern states will become a
center of the cattle-raising industry.
1t is said that arrangements are
now being made for the accommoda-
ton of large number of cattle to be
shipped from the stock yards in Chi
cago to northern Florida to be fed
on cassava root. The results of the
fattening process will be compared
with similar work in the west, re-
garding which the conditions and cost
are already definitely known.
The result obtained will determine
the future of the cassava experiment.
