Hindoo Woman's Nose Kew.

1T is considered an insult and ex.
tremely indelicate in India to refer
to womans nose ring, but so many
ask me, What is that flower they hold
in the MOUTH that must tell what |
shouldn't" says Edmund Russell.
1T is the badge of wifehood, even
more sacred than our wedding ring
set always with the costliest and most
beautiful jewels woman possesses
and the last she will part with. A
ruby with two pearls is the favorite
as symbolizing a heart between two
guardians Of purity.
This is something going out of
fashion under English influence; the
Somaji ladies and Zoroastrian sisters
do not wear them. but every ortho-
dox Hindoo woman has her pak-chabi,
or nose key as it is called, usually
two, one of precious jewels and costly
pearls, the other a little plain gold
safety pin, which is slipped in Just as
the great circle is being drawn out,

ment be left free" Everybody's

The Ant as Il Medicine.

Having thoroughly exploited the
curative powers of the bee, writer's
have now apparently turned to the
ant. The latter, like the former, owes
its medicinal virtues to the forniic
acid that it contains, Indeed, this
acid owes its name to the ant Uatin
formica.)
"According to the Investigations
of M. Clement, of Lyons, formic acid
is a very important drug. 1t aug

ably only relative value, but Clement
has supported them by experiments

showed that after the use of formic
acid the subject was able TO furnish

Where We Get Our Salt.

Salt is so common an article that
one is astonished when he realizes
the amount of it produced in the
United States during the year 1904.
The number of barrels was 22,030,-
002, valued at s6,021 ,222. In spite of
this enormous output, coming mostly
from New York and Michigan. the
United States imported salt to the
value OF over half a million dollars
and exported 25,508,577 pounds,
valued at 5000 The deposits of
salt in the United States are not nu-
merous, those in New York, Michi-
gan. Ohio, Kansas and Louisiana be-
ing the only ones which are worked
commercially.-Bo Boston Herald.

Women W no Marry.

Hoch, the much married convict
ed murderer, is not in it with DR..
George Witzhoff of New York
The police have been unetrthing
new wives for him every day, and
ir is said that he has married and
deserted over fifty women.
That Witzhoff was all adventurer
became known just five years ago
this fall, wheu it was said that in
seven days he had married Just
seven women, and every woman be-
came his bride only to learn later
that she had been robbed and
deserted.
AT that time Witzhof' was board
ing at the home of a man named
Vokes, who lives in West Orange.
By this time the police net was clos
ing in fast on Witzhoff. To Mr..
Vokes he was known as DR.. George
Weston.
That the seven women he married
in as many days and woman in
Newark are not the only women
married by the fascinating Witz-
hoff the police are certain.
What became of him immediately
after he left New York has not
been definitely ascertained, but he
is known to have lett a string of
deserted brides in Philadelphia,
Kansas City, Chicago, St. Louis,
Buffalo and Cleveland. Three years
ago he appeared in Boston, and
there under the name of Muller,
representing that he was a dentist,
he laid seige to the heart of Miss
Eta Randall.
Miss Randall was in love with
her husband. He began to borrow
money from her Immediately after
the wedding. and then to absent
himself from Boston. Witzhoff S
bride became suspicious of her new
husband before she had been a wife
six months. AT last Mrs. Muller,
as Miss Randall still calls herself
determined to follow her husband
to New York. She found him at
the home of Miss Anna Parkhill.
who, she says, also had married
Witzhoff, and who believed in him
implicitly. Mrs. Muller went back
to her home broken-hearte
1t seems that from Boston he
came to New York, and in spite of
his many other wives there, who
were OH the lookout for him, and
the police description which he still
htted, he came boldly back to town
and began to marry.
The strange part of this story is
'hat there are so many women who
are ready TO trust an unknown adj
Venturer and to marry man on very
short acquaintance of whom thev
know nothing.

COST OF LIVING IN GERMANY.
Foodstuffs Advanced Greatly in the
Last Ten Years

Germany Is no longer the paradise
Of American and English families
with incomes just large enough to
starve on genteelly at home, says the
New York Sun. Ten years have
brought great changes in the stan
dards OF life in Germany, not only In
Berlin but in the smaller cities.
Roughly speaking. the cost Of living
has increased by third to a half.
In the matter of rent and servants
wages Berlin Is still better than New
York. Comparatively few families
In Berlin boast the luxury Of an en-
tire house-even fewer, perhaps,
than In New York. The rest live in
wohnungen, or fats. like their Amer
lean compeers. The yearly rent for
an apartment OF four rooms in a de-
sirable locality in Berlin varies from
1915 to $500. Ten years ago the
prices in Berlin were q fourth less.
There are complaints in Germany
OF the degeneration of domestic SER
wants, but at least a fair knowledge
OF cookery is general possession,
and in the second place. strict over
sight on the part OF the police pre-
vents absolute disregard of the sa-
credness OF contracts. The minimum
monthly pay for domestic service IL
IS. Even this is an increase OF at
least 81 within the last decennium.
Turning to the cost OF foodstuffs,
the outlook Is less encouraging. Al
most without exception, articles OF
daily consumption have increased in
price from a third to q half in ten
years. AS an example, mutton.
which previously cost IAN cents =
pound. now costs rs cents. Butter
has risen from 20 to 33 cents q
pound. and eggs from 15 to 22 cents
a dozen. This increase has been
partly the result Of deliberate legis-
lative effort to improve the condition
Of the peasantry by the imposition Of
protective duties on the products of
the soil.
In general, Berlin holds the same
relation to other German cities al
New York to American centers of
population. but the cost Of living in
Hamburg and Frankfort is more
nearly on a par with that of Berlin
than the cost of living in Philadel-
phia or st. Louis with that OF New
York. An exception in this connec-
ton must be made in favor OF the
cities of south Germany.

Has Trade For Any Time of Day.
The thriftiest man in the United
States lives in Louisville. He has
trades that fit any climate, season or
time of the day AS an example of his
wonderful versatility, a friend tells
the following story of an average d"y
in the life of this strenuous man:
One morning last week he started
out with rug to sell on commission
for an installment house. He sold
the rug, and then came back and took
out clock, which he also disposed Of
About noon he was called by an un.
dertaker to embalm body, which he
did. Another undertaken sent for
him to drive a hearse to the ceme-
terry, and after he had disposed Of
this errand satisfactorily he preached
short sermon at the grave.
He drove the hearse back to town
and filled in the afternoon for q
candymaker who was taken suddenly
i'll.
In the evening he worked from to
8 o'clock in a barber shop, and from
that hour until midnight set type on a
daily newspaper.

CONCERNING CELLAR DOORS
Frvn the Old Time Door Of Wool to
Newest Of Galvanized steel.

Time was when cellar doors were
all made of wood with iron strap
hinges, each complete door consisting
! OF pair of wooden flap doors closing
In the middle, to be thrown back oil
either side when the door was open
ed. A weather strip was nailed along
the edge of one of these flaps
Outside the houses, and in fact in
many other places, such cellar doors
were often set at an incline from the
building, so that they would the better
ditional cellar doors down which chill
dren loved to slide, as they still do,
for that matter, wherever such cellar
doors are found.
Cellar doors, either fiat or inclined,
are still to be found in countless num-
bers everywhere, and in cities as we'll
as in the country. But along much
travelled business thoroughfares in
cities wooden cellar doors were soon
worn away and broken under the in.
cessant scraping and trampling OF
many thousands of feet, and SO in
such situations wooden cellar doors
were long ago largely supplanted by
cellar doors of iron. these not in
clined but set level with the sidewalk.
so that they would form no impeoi-
ment to travel
These were a wide departure from
the old time wooden cellar door, but
they have now been long familiar in
such localities, and for time 1t must
have seemed. II anybody ever CAV
them thought, that in them had been
reached the limit in cellar door con-
struction. But the really modern city
cellar door Is to them what they were
to the ancient cellar door OF wood.
The newest city cellar door de-
signed for use in crowded streets,
one introduced within recent years,
is built OF steel, and galvanized, and
hung on heavy brass hinges. OF rigid
construction in its own parts, and
shutting into rigid frame, this cell
lar door when closed in as firm a
support to the feet as the surrounding
sidewalk in which it is set, while the
galvanizing of the door and the hang
ing Of its parts on brass hinges pre-
serve the door from rust and help to
make it practically indestructible.-

tuberculosis in Germany.

According to recently published sta
ttistics compiled by the Berlin I'M
perial Bureau tuberculosis is rapidly
decreasing in Germany. In cities hav-
ing more than $4,000 inhabitants the
deaths from tuberculosis per 100000
in the years between 1877 and 1881
were 357. This rate has gradually
diminished until in the four years be-
tween 1897 and 1901 tuberculosis
showed a mortality of only 21S per

Give Your Farm a Name

The practice the farmers are
adopting of giving their farms a
distinctive name, generally emble-
matte CT some leading feature in
connection with the premises, is a
good one. Under such name the
farm may always be known, no
difference how often it may change
ownership through sale or descent
to heirs, and is readily recognized as
to location the moment it is referred
to. The name upon a sign board
or rural mail box is Of much as
slstance, too, to persons travelling
along and naturally desirous or
knowing what place is this or that
asthey pass along. It's an all right
idea. Fall in with it.
