Why Noses Point East

Very few peoples noses are set
! properly upon their faces. ANY OBJ
servant person who will go along the
street and take notice of the nasal or
gans of the passers-by may easily con-
,ince himself on the subject Not one
individual in a hundred, whether man
! or woman, is above criticism as to the
arrangement of his or her nose.
1t is not that most peoples noses
are not sufficiently well shaped. What
ever may be thought of the Chinese
nose, or the African or the Filipino,
the average Caucasian nasal protuber-
ance is fairly symmetrical. But. un-
fortunately, whatever its form may be
whether pure Greek or Hebraic or
Roman or plain snub-it is nearly al
ways set crooked on the face.
One might think that nature is a
little careless about this matter. When
the nose turns off at an angle. instead
OF assuming its just and proper atti-
tude. it tends, at all events in extreme
cases, to give a disordered effect to
the features as a whole. But. if nature
really does not care which way nose
POINTS, there ought TO be as MANY
noses turned one way as are turned
the other.
But is this the case? Not a bit of
IT. AS you walk down the street look
at the people as they go by. and YOU
VIII discover that the noses of ninety

notice this fact it will constantly at

lection to starting in upon a study of
this kind is that you cannot get awav

you meet a friend you look at his nose.

right or not.
Some folk are, indeed. who seem

eyes slant at an angle, or even at diff
ferent angles. whose mouths in the
very expression of a smile twist down

olrth or by habit to perversity: with
Such 1t is the business of the Grim

majority OF plain people some simpler

Good Advice to Young Men.

The following epigramauc periods
are from President Porter, Yale college.
Young men, you are the architects of
your own fortunes: rely on your own
strength of body and soul. Take for
your star self-reliance. Inscribe on
your banner, Luck is a fool. Pluck is
q hero. Don't take too much advice;
keep at the helm and steer your own
ship, and remember that the art of
commanding is to take a fair share of
the work. Think we'll of yourself.
Strike out. Assume your own position.
Put potatoes into a cart, go over a
rough road, and the small ones go to
the bottom. Rise above the envious and
jealous. Fire above the mark you in
tend to hit Energy, invinCible deter
mination, with a right motive, are the
levers that move the world. Don't
swear. Don't deceive. Don't read nov
els. Don't marry until you can sup
port a wife. Be civil. Read the papers
your business. Make money
q nd do good with it. Love your God
and fellow men. Love truth and vir-
tue. Love your country and obey it's
laws"

The warning of the chirOpodist, BE
good to your toes" ought to be needed
by Americans, of all people; for there
is really no telling what use we may
have to make of our feet in the near
future. Just at present. as Ian Mac
laren states, mo man walks if he can
ride in a trolley car; no one goes in a
trolley car if he can get a convenient
steam car; and by and by no one will
go in a steam car if he can be shot
through a pneumatic tube No one
writes with his own hand if he can
dictate to a stenographer; no one die
tates if he can telegraph: no one tele-
graphs if he can telephone; and by and
by, when the spirit of American inven-
ton has brought wireless telegraphy
into thorough condition, man will
simply sit with his mouth at one hole
and his ear at another and do business
with the ends of the earth in a few
seconds, which the same machine will
copy and preserve i'm letter books and
ledgers. 1t is the Americans regret
that at present he can do nothing with
his feet while he is listening at the
telephone; but doubtless some employ
ment will be found for them in the
coming age"

Stumbling Blocks.

Strive vigorously to form the habit
of using everything that comes to you.
whether pleasant or unpleasant. for
tunate or unfortunate, to your advan-
tage. Do not allow an unpleasant let
ter, disa greeable criticism, an I'M
charitable remark or other trial of any
kind to darken your whole day and
cast a shadow over your life. Make
up your mind resolutely that nothing
shall stand in the way of your genuine
success. You cannot allow your life
to be darkened by the clouds cast over
your pathway by those who wish to
injure you Misfortunes and difficult
ties make strong those who have the
courage to surmount them and use
them as stepping stones, instead of
stumbling blocks.-Mission Bulletin.

Medal For a Chicago woman.

The International Society of La Sa-

Emma c. Sickels. a Chicago woman. a
gold medal, for exceptional bravery in
checking the Indian war of $780,"
Miss Sickels was the first to learn
Of the plan of attack and the real
causes of the outbreak, and at the risk
of her life went to Chief Little Wound s
camp and persuaded him to some into
a conference and throw his influence
on the side of peace. Miss Sickels' pre-
vious position as superintendent of
large boarding school at Pine Ridge

of the Indians which made this posi-
bic, and she went from Washington to
Dakota authorized by Secretary Proc
tor, General Schofeld and General
Miles to use her offices among the dis
affected redskins for the restoration of
peace. Her success led to the bestowal

a per cent solution of carboic acid
is excellent for a blistered finger.
To relieve a nervous headache apply
hot water to the temples and back of
the neck. A hot footbath will also ma

Earache can frequently be cured by
wringing out a flannel in boiling

danum on it and applying it to the
ear.
A small quantity of vinegar willgen-

them and put on fresh stockings and

Next follow exercises
In every kind of time,
Each one of which surprises
My soul with hints of crime.
