HELP FOR A RED NOSE.
Simple Treatment Which May Be Adj
ministered by the One Thus
Afflicted.

In massaging the face the nose needs
special attention. 1t must be kept free
from blackheads, and the nostrils must
not be allowed to become too wide. Use
the rotary massage movement daily
about the lower part Of the nose, after
first applying cold cream. This will tend
to reduce the thick cartilage, says Wom-
ans Home Companion.
Never use downward movement in
massaging the nose. Always rub up.
To make a red nose white. massage
vigorously along the leading nerve of the
nose at each side. Use the tip of the
finger. start at the bottom, and rub up
the nose on either side, and then under
the eyebrows. Following the nerve in
this way is sure to relieve congested cir
culation, which is often the secret of that
unpleasant redness which comes to the
nose.
1.-THE nose is extremely red. in addition
to treating the nerve we massage the
temples and cheeks, using a brisk, Wig
orous movement. This We do in order
to take the blood away from the nose.
In treating the nose be careful never
to touch it with water. Instead. batha
1t night and morning with cold cream.

HINTS ON HAIR DRESSING.
The Decree Of Dame Fashion on tho
Arrangement of My Lady's

Hairdressing has gone through many
evolutions since the fashion of scraping
up the hair from the nape of the neck first
came in. Many women have found this
fashion so comfortable and so easy to ac-
complish without the aid of maid that
they have adhered to it in spite of all the
changes of fashion that have decreed first

to the nape of the neck, which is surely

La Mode is that the hair shall be rolled
over perpendicularly from the neck to
the crown of the head, comb with
curved-over ornament being placed in
this roll. But this mode is far from be-
ing artistic and cuts off the proportion
of the head to the face in a manner that
is quite at variance with all the laws of
beauty. Some faces are softened by q

An Electric Cow-Milker

The applications of electricity are
now many and various, and the posi-
bilities of still wider and more va
ried use are almost beyond concep-
ton; but probably few have thought of
the. electric agent as substitute for
the old-fashioned method OF milking
cows. But our consular agent at Gems.
Germany, in report to the state de-
partment, describes an electric appa-
ratus for milking cows actually in use
in that part of Germany. In this con-
trivance rubber hoods are attached to
the udder of the COW. These hoods
are connected with a vessel for re-
ceiving the milk by means of a rubber
tube, from which the air is exhausted
by means of the electrical device. It
is claimed that the suction thus Sc
cured resembles very closely the suck.

the COW "lets down" her milk more

New Jersey gives annually $25O,OO0
as aid. The state pays one-third of the
cost, the counties two-thirds. and ten
per cent of the counties share may be
assessed on the townships. The state

more than double this amount. as they
pay for bridges, surveying and inciden-
tails. There have been builded by state

Wild Silkworm.

It is curious but we'll authenticate
ed fact that the wild silkworm pro-
duces silk which is declared to have
better luster and stronger fiber than
that CT the captive silkworms. 1t was
assumed that the confinement of and
solicitous care received by the cult
waited variety had produced a race
which had lost some of it's original
vigor. Recent experiments seem to
indicate that the effect SO apparent is
due entirely to the different food OF
the wild and domesticated silkworm.

Sure enough, a little above the

half hid it.

the nurse, ''the upper part of the air

And will she never be able to

IN THE PADDLE-WHEEL.
Curious and Terrifying Adventure
Of Boy on a Ship in Mo-
bile Bay.

Mr.. Stanhope Hall, author of Twenty
Years at Sea-" was not much more than
a boy when he had the following curious
and terrifying adventure, the recollec-
lion of which haunted him all his life.
The ship on which he was making his
lrst voyage was loading cotton in Mo-
bile bay, and the captain had sent him in
/ small boat to get some newspapers
from a big side-wheel steamer which
lay near by.
In trying to bring the boat up to the
steamer, he says, I upset myself and
went down. I could not swim, and
struggled in hopeless terror. When 1
came to the surface l found myself in
the brackets Of the great wheel; they
were green with river moss and slippery
as ice, but managed to get astride Of
one and regain my breath.
As held on, painting from my plunge.
4 thrill of horror ran through me- The
wheel had slowly begun, to revoke. In
agony I shouted, but in that great wheel
box my voice was as no,ning. Slowly
the wheel turned, carrying, me upward
When l reached the top should be
ground to pieces; or, If by any chance
escaped that fate, should be drowned
when l was again drawn under the
wheel into the fearful suction. -.
Again and again I shouted. Finally,
as l was nearing the top, little trap
door opened and some one looked into
the box. opened my mouth to call once
more, but my throat was paralyzed; for
q moment could not utter a note.
The trap-door was just closing when,
with one mighty effort, my voice came
back and l screamed. The man opened
the trap again, saw me, sprang upon
the wheel. and. snatched me into safety.
I was heavy weight in his arms as he
carried me to the deck, for tainted dead
away.

POINTS ON CAS-POlSONlN0
Information Which Might Be of Serv-
leo in an Accident or
Emergency.

We hear with increasing frequency Of
cases of poisoning by the inhalation OF
gas. 1t is not only the countryman Of
the funny papers who elbows out the
gas" but sophisticated city folk aswell
are at times victims of this serious acct
dent, says Youths Companion. The
acute form of gas poisoning occurs when
a large amount has been inhaled, usually
during sleep in a closed room, and COM
mon result is death. A more common
but less frequently recognized form is
chronic gas poisoning, which comes
from the constant inhalation of small
amounts of gas, escaping perhaps from
leaky pipe somewhere in the house, or
coming In with the sewer gas forced
back through some defect in the plumb
ing.
The poisonous element In illuminating
gas is carbon monoxide, which consti-
tutes more than one-third of the water
gas used for lighting and heating pu7-
poses in many of our largest cities. This
is not only negatively injurious from the
TACT that 1t contains no valuable Oxy-
gen, and so kills by suffocation, but is
further a most energetic blood poison,
destructive in extreme degree to the red
blood corpuscles. which are prominent
~ the vital constituents of this fluid.
This is why removal from the gas laden
atmosphere to pure air so often fails to
save the victims life, and why even ar
tlt1c1al respiration may be useless. It is
not only that the blood needs aerating,
but also, and especially, that it is no
longer capable Of being aerated. The
hemoglobin-the substance in the red
corpuscles, the function of which is to
convey oxygen to the tissues and to re-
move the carbonic gas from the system
has been seized upon by the gas poison,
for which it has much stronger chem
ical affinity than for oxygen, and MOTH
ing will shake it loose.
The treatment usually followed is to
administer oxygen In order to supply the
stlll-unaffected red corpuscles with this
vital gas in Its most concentrated form.
to bleed the patient in order to get rid of
as many of the poisoned globules as
possible, and to give injections of salt
solution in order to restore the normal
volume of the blood, hasten the eliminn-
ton of the unfit corpuscles, and possibly
rehabllltate those not yet utterly
ruined.
The chronic form of gas poisoning is
manifested chiefly by very pronounced
anaemia and the weakness of body and
mind consequent upon blood poverty.
The treatment of this is primarily sup
preston OF the source of poisoning and
then administration of tonics to restore
the blood to its normal health.

MONEY MADE IN DANCES.
Clever Brains Employed in the In

Figures.

The average citizen whose dancing
days are over, to use the conventional
phrase, little realizes how many scores
OF clever brains are, year in, year out,
exercised in the invention of new dances.
these latter quite apart from theatrical
dancing, says a. London paper.
And both fame and money come from
any new ballroom dance that happens
to hit the public taste, though it must
be frankly stated that most of the So
called new dances are in reality. but
novel combinations and variants of the
old ones. This, however, is not only
inevitable, it is positive advantage,
inasmuch as the ordinary dancer, who
has learnt all the usual movements, can
the more readily follow the new COM
binations. In the case of dancing pro-
lessor who has been responsible for any
new set of movements that have become
fashionable, there is always a veritable
rush of profitable pupils. all eager to
learn the new dance at first hand.
A considerable source of profit to the
inventor of new dance invariably Is
the sale Of music that has been COM
posed with the express view of fitting
the new movements. as the sales of such
new music often extend over the whole
kingdom. Amongst dancing masters
themselves prizes are every year COM
peted for and given for new terpsi-
chorean movements, and the winners of
these always derive considerable advan-
tages in the way of popularity from their
inventions, the mon etary reward follow
ing almost as matter of course.
In at least one case known to the
writer the invention of a new dance
brought-with the sale of the accom-
panying music, which had been bought

made too wide. When they began to
