tilt her chin either way would
detract from the regular shaped
PROJECTIONS of her features; and the
surest path to beauty lies in the
accentuating of ones most
noticeable good points.
The girl with the aquiline hose
looks best when she is meekest--
that is, when her chin is held
slightly downward and in close
to the throat. The sneering, dis
dainful expression SO unconscious
ly assumed by most aquiiennosed
women is thus avoided; the length
of the nose is not accumulated, and
it is given the appearance of breadth.
The girl with the retrOusse
nose, on the other hand, cannot tilt
her chin upward too much. She
needs dignity; to carry her chin
down and it gives her a stupid,
weak expression. Her natural
pose is the saucy pose Of piquancy.
The tilt of her insignificant nose
is the only excuse for being. Like
wise the girl with the broad, fiat
nose must carry her head high
and at an angle Of IS degrees. The
fattest nose will attain some
semblence of beauty if properly
held. Even a broken nose is res
pected, if the owner knows how
to carry it jauntily. There is no
limit to the Improvement a wom-
an may produce in her appearance
if she will not carefully study her
profile What women needs to do
is to use the cream jar less and the
hand glass more, to stop studying
home made recipes for complexion
washes and begin studying the
effect of their noses from the most
popular point of view the point
of view of every man or woman
who sits beside them i'll a street
car OF passes them in a mornings
walk.

Oar Indian Wards.

Louis Primeau. the most noted inter-
prefer among the Sioux, is dead at
Standing Rock agency. He occupied
about the same position among them
that Paul Bordleau did among the
Chippewas of the northwest. For a
great many years both were noted for
the excellence with which they could
turn the Indian language into English
and the reverse, and both were strong
with their people, who had confidence
in them and trusted them implicitly
in everything. The father Of Louis
Primeau was Charles Primeau. the
first white man to come into what is
now the state of South Dakota to en-
gage in trading.
Dan Halstead the last survivor of
the Indian tribes that once Inhabited
New Jersey. is living the life Of her
NIT on the Norris River near Norma,
in that state. He is said to be the
grandson of a former great chief. His
sole companion in his solitude is a
mongrel dog. He makes living by

out of every 1000 deaths are children

500 per 1000. In the five years ending
with 1900 the average annual mortali-

causes of death are infantile diarrhae
respiratory diseases and congenital

The diarrhae, comparatively rare ir

by excessive and improper feeding, eS-

THE CARE OF A NOSE.

The average woman does not
half value her profile She will
spend hours massaging her com
plexion, curling her hair and
identifying her eyes and then will
dismiss her nose with a dab of the
powder puff. Elizabeth of Ger
man Garden fame, once said to
her friends: 'She has a good nose
but she doesn't know how to carry
it."
1t is not the shape of nose, but
the way a woman carries it that
makes or mars her profile. The
homliest nose may be carried with
an air that will redeem half it's
sins and give it Gibsonesque
expression Actresses study their
noses with the utmost seriousness
and care. They know that, while
one persons may look them full in
the face, nine persons are getting
merely side or three-quarters view.
1t is possible to carry a perfect
Grecian nose so badly that its grace
and attractions will be completely
lost. The woman with the Greek
profile should carry her chin erect
but not tilted upward. The simple
statesque pose will give Der profile
just sufficient promin renee. To

Union, COR sny other Union, or for
any Cyclopedia, Subscription Book,

To school boards, I respectfully
suggest a careful reading of Sec.

This section refers particularly to
the purchase of school supplies,
and is intended to protect the dis
trict against the purchas of worth
less articles, which have not been
approved by either State or County
Superintendent, and against the
payment of exorbitant prices for or
binary material. All articles Of

Notice to Teachers and School Officers.

OFFICE OF COUNTY SUPERINTEND-
EMIT, LANCASTER, WIS, JAN. IS,
1904
The attention of teachers and
school officers of Grant county is
called to the following circular re
ceived at this office on Saturday
last:
OFFICE OF STATE SUPERINTENDENT
Madison, Wis, January %, 1904.
70 County Superintendents:
If reports that reach this Office are
correct, there are several persons rep
resenting themselves as agents Of the
"National Educational Union OF Chi
cago," whatever that may be, canvass
ing at this time among the country
teachers in this state.
The superintendent of Walworth
county, and the uperintendent of
Sank county have had experience with
the men in question. In Sank they
represented that they were sent out by
the county superintendent, and they
were getting "charter members" Those
who signed as "charter members" did
not know that there was fee and
that that they were signing notes. 1t
is needless for me to suggest that you
should be on your guard, and should
also guard your teachers and district
boards against those men to the
extent of your ability. They are oper-
ating on large scale, and may vary
their methods in different places.
Yonrs respectfully,

himself being led around like a
