The Nose,

Nothing Is more rare than a really
perfect nose-that Is, one which unites
harmony OF form. correctness OF pro-
portion and proper affinity with the
other features.
The following are, according to the
rules OF art, the conditions requisite
to the beauty Of this srgan:
The nose should have the same
length US the forehead and have a
slight depression at Its root. From its
DOT to It's extremity 1t should follow q
perfectly straight line and come exact.
ly over the center Of the upper lip. The
bridge OF the nose. parallel on both
sides, should be a little wider In the
center. The tip should be neither too
thin nor too ieshy. and Its lower out.
line neither narrow MOI too wide. The
lobes must be gracefully defined by a
slight depression. Seen sideways. the
lower part Of the nose will have but q
third Of its total length.

WHAT IS A "COLD2"
The Word That Covers a Multitude
of Ills ExpOunded.

of Ills Expounded.
Professor Lohnberg. In the Vienna
Clinical Review, ON an essay on cold
In the head, says that the ordinary
cold is no individual complaint, but
only a collective name for a large num-
Der of different complaints"
He continues, THE attempt to dis
cover a universal remedy against q
cold Is just as absurd as to search for
a generally e~ficacious remedy for
headache" The particular complaint
Of which the cold is the symptom
can only be ascertalned by careful ex-
animation of the nasal cavities and
n~eighboring parts" Hence sufferers
should be circumspect In the use Of
remedies.
The professor says only that which Is
true, but of which the mass Of man.
kind Is ignorant. Colds are Of innu-
merable varieties. but the most COM
mon one is that which is persistently
misunderstood. 1t IL attributed to any
tulus but tuc ti6ht Suuoct "hish % u
microbe.
All Its symptoms r those Of a high
ly infectious fever. and the public In
stead of blaming the mlcrobe Of lnfec-
ton and striving to kill 1t will persist
In denouncing drafts. wet feet, low
temperature. etc.
They exclude air, the enemy OF the
mlcrobe, from their rooms; they supply
a temperature In which 1t car multiply,
and, having become thoroughly inocu-
lated by breathing the germ laden at
mosphere, they find that a cold current
Of air causes IL N to SILVER. The shiv-
ering of the Or. nary mind decides the
question of causation.
It is significant Of every fever that
1t begins with shivering, and a cold
Is no exception.
Cold. wet feet. drafts, etc. are at
most only accessories. By putting a
greater strain on the animal economy
they decrease Its resistance to micro
bal infection.

His One

A fare was being ratified through a
Dublin suburb on a rlckety %jauntlng
car drawn by a no less rickety horse.
Having proceeded some distance. the
horse. owing to apparent old age and
sheer exhaustion, fell, never to rise
again. The fare was very profuse In
bis sympathies toward the driver, who,
however. appeared to take the whole
thing very coolly and explained:
tits Just Ike this with me, your hon.
or. | don't regret the old brute a bit.
He was bad from the start. But, some
how or other. I can't help thinking of
the beautiful feed VI oats | gave him
this morning"

The love of Nature, which made him so fond of his gardens, leads one to ask. sick unto death, for a look at the sun. His soul sought late expression in the forms of poetry.

CURIOES.

4 funny decision was that which, re- port says, was made by a court ip Neb- raska. This was that in the absence of special circumstances a check upon a bank must be presented not later than the day following its receipt, in order to hold the drawer liable, when the payer receives it in the place in which the bank on which it is drawn is located. We hardly think the higher courts would sustain such a decision, for such a law would operate to place the payee in danger of losing his or her just dues. Of course, where people retain checks a long time it works some inconvenience to the drawer in the bookkeeping de- pertinent, but as a usual thing drawers of checks, especially of goodly amount, save interest on the money involved in the case for as long as the check. re-
 mains uncashed. But where the check is small there is little but the inconven- fence occasioned to complain about. Such a law as the one in question might work decidedly to the advantage of the
 payee were the drawer of the check on
 the brink of bankruptcy, but to compel
 a business man to hurry at all speed to
 get checks cashed the day after they are drawn is something of an imposi- ton. Speedy eashing of checks is much
 desired by big railroad and trust com panies, as where dividend checks are sent out by the thousands it is a great convenience to have them turned in
 promptly. and several of these great Icorporations send request with divi-
 dend checks requesting that they be cashed at once. A certain former New
 Haven divine, 1t is related, who was lnot pressed for cash. kept a check un- lcashed for years. One day he bethought himself of this neglected check and went to have 1t cashed. His dismay was quite marked when he learned from the cashier that the maker of the
 check had, ten years previously. gone through bankruptcy and received his discharge therefrom.

The Wax Insect.

Trees afford the birthplace and cra-
die of the wax insect, scientifically
called Cossus pela. In the early spring
the bark of the boughs and twigs be-
comes covered with brown pea shaped
scales, which can be easily detached
and which, when opened, reveal the
flowery looking mass of minute ami
mails, whose movements can just be
detected by the naked eye. In May
and June, however, the scales are
found to contain swarm Of brown
creatures with six legs and two an
tennn each. Some of the scales also
contain the white bag or cocoon Of a
small black beetle, which, if left undis-
turbed, burrows into and consumes
the scales. The Chinese say that this
beetle eats the little wax insects, and it
appears certainly the case that where
the parasite is most abundant the
scales fetch lower price in the mar
ket.-Chambers' Journal.

It Is during the months Of August

list has his own opinion, and many fine
spun theories have been advanced.
Some sny that the birds move toward
the north. some that they seek the
mountain tops. coming into the swamps
to feed only after nightfall; some that
they seek the corntields. and there
have been many other such theories.
Probably the truth lies in IL mean OF
all these statements. tls'nk it prob

An Amusing Dit of Routine In q New

There is no better place to mark the
increasing love of military display and
maneuvcrs than the lobby of large
hotel. The colorcd help in particular
are great soldiers. In one of the Broad
way hotels uptown the colored hall
men are changed at noon. Things were
quiet in the lobby at that hotel today,
for the clerks and bookkeepers were
deep in their books. and the loungers
We're all sitting peacefully on the So

what sounded like regiment of infan-
try broke the stiffness.
The regiment consisted Of six col

Gazette. lie lined his six men in front
of bench before the desk, looked
them over sharply to see that they
were "eyes 'front.' and hissed "Atten-
tion!" Then as he clapped his hands
once the six men hinged their legs ST.
multancously and dropped into their
seats like a row of wooden soldiers.
The mulatto wiped his brow with a
highly pcrfumed handkerchief, glanced
at the head clerk for approval and as
the first man responded with a jerk to
the cry of Front" went to the main
doorway to look ut the sunlight Of
Broadway with the air of n successful
major general. The whole perform
ancc was excruciatingly funny, but I
am sure that mulatto would have COM
mitted assault and battery on any one
who dared to laugh.
