THE NOSE
 HOLD E R s
By T. P. MORGAN

r HIRTY- ONE saints in bags. A suf-
 fering sinner with huge spring clothes-pin snapped onto each ear, one on his nose, another on his lower lip, several hanging from his fingers. and twice as many more without places to hang on.
 The victim of the clothes-pin was the Inventive clerk of the Duffy house. The saints in bags were the 31 most prom lnent members of Elder Blowhorn's fol- lowing.
 Besides being clad In bags, the saints were adorned by numerous abrasions and bruises, caused by the events that followed the practical application of the clerks little invention for causing in- voluntary snoring.
 After prolonged and unique reasoning, the clerk proved to his own satisfaction that snoring was greatly conducive to the preservation of health. His theory was simple enough, too. From careful observation, he had learned thet the more robust the person, the more lusty and resonant was his snore. Weak per sons snored in weak, coy way, as if they had not learned to play on their nose harps very well. But the stalwart ones, strong of wind and sturdy of torso, would utter few preliminary dispason notes. run up and down the scale couple of times. and then, striking the proper key. dash into the popular tune of "I am dreaming of thee, Nora, darling"
 Following out this line of reasoning, the clerk very soon reached the con- elusion that. in order for weak ones to become healthier, they must snore more. If they would not snore, they must be made to.
 Ere long. the clerks little invention for the promotion of involuntary snor- ing was complete. It was modelled after

A CHRISTENING PARITY.
Dame Courtesy Demands the observ. ance of Certain Prescribed
 Formalities.

You should write informal notes, asking friends and relatives to attend the christening. says Elizabeth Riddle, in the Philadelphia Press. or you may send a written invitation word ed as follows:
 Mir. and Mrs. Hunter Worthington request the pleasure of your company at the christening of their infant son.
 James Henry.
 on Thursday, July the twentieth, at
 twelve o'clock.
 wo0DSIDE.
 A boy should have two godfathers and one godmother; the order Is re- versed in the case of girl. Parents should not stand as sponsors, as they will naturally have the care and re- responsibilities as parents and will be expected to look after the welfare of the child fin every respec:- |. The nurse may carry the baby until the child's name is to be given when the godmother then takes the baby and hands it to the clergyman, at the same time giving the child's iame in very distinct tone. After the child has been baptized the clergyman re. stores 1t to the godmother and she in turn gives 1t to the nurse or the mother.
 The drawing-room should be decor. ated with plants and cut flowers. White should be the prevailing color. A space should be cleared in the cen ter of the room and a table covered with fine white linen cloth should be stood a little at one side.
 On this should be placed a silver or glass bowl of water and some cut flowers As I do not know to what church you belong I cannot give you further advice as to what will be necessary. You should consult your rector on the subject.
 After the ceremony is over 1t would be best to serve a breakfast for the guests. at small tables or Zen buffet" just as you wish.
 The table should be decorated with white flowers and ferns and tall white candles nnshaded set in glass or sil- yer candlesticks should be stood in a circle around the centerpiece and at the corners. A menu in which every. thing is white would be particularly appropriate and. if you wish 10 do 60. i; would be very nice for you to give some inexpensive souvenir to each of your guests.

either breathe through his mouth or choke. And. if he breathed through his facial gash. he would snore, and the util- ity of the clerks little invention would be demonstrated.
 So pleased was the clerk with his idea that he constructed nearly half bushel of nose holders before he made trial of the invention except upon hls own nose, where it worked to his intense satisfac- ton, and nearly pinched his beak of at the same time.
 Conceiving the idea that the ordinary springs were too modest in asserting themselves, he substituted springs. so strong that it took pronounced pressure upon the opposite ends of the holder to open them for the reception of the wait ing proboscis.
 For several days before the compile ton of the invention, the clerk had had his mental vision fixed on the subjects for wholesale experiment.. These were several of the most prominent followers of Elder Blowhorn and the doctrines by him taught at the camp, just out of town.
 By some means, the clerk had learned that, owing to the limited number of sleeping-tents, and the unexpected ar- rival of a large delegation of believers from other localities, a number of the brethren were obliged to pass the night on cots in the large audience tent in which services were held in the day time. It was upon the noses of this col lection of saints the clerk resolved to experiment.
 Not that they lacked in health or mus cularity, for most of them looked as If they had decided hankering after the fesh-pots of Egypt; but because he wanted to ascertain the different effects upon different individuals and noses, SO that the tension of the springs might be increased or diminished to suit all requirements
 Several different days had been set for the end of the world. and they had awaited it's coming with all the anxiety felt by spectators aTound a sick horse. But as each date had failed to witness the interesting event. they grew appre- hensive that 1t might walk in upon them at any time.
 All day long their ascension robes hung on handy nails, and at night they slept in them.
 In order that the rush of wind. con- sequent upon so many people going up at once, might not blow their robes up over their heads. the garments were seved together al the bottom. making of each a long bag with sleeves in 1t.
 When the clerk. with bis haIf-bushel or % of nasal-pinchers. arrived at the big tent. just before midnight. he found 31 saints sleeping within. each in his ascension bag. and with his face up- turned to the dim light of the solitary lantern. The inventor :airly hugged himself with delight at the fizttering prospects of a successful wholesale ex- pertinent.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
Irregular Features One Need Not Mind If One Has Good Color and
 Healthy Appearance.

l Absolute perfection of physique is unattainable, but it is not impossible to reach something near it. and the way to proceed is by keeping the blood, and then the system, in proper. work ing order. says the American Queen.
 To-day our ideal of beauty is based chiefly upon health. and it requires but a bright, happy. animated face with a good complexion and a real fondness for healthful exercise such as bicycling golf, swimming, etc. to make the beauty" of our times.
 Irregularity of feature with perfec. complexion will sooner make that beauty that perfection of feature and imperfeetion of complexion. To keep the skin in proper order 8 hot bath is necessary. for obvious req sons. at regular intervals. The an- ! elents seemed to realize. even better than We do to-day, the requirements for maintaining tn skin at its perfec- ton. Their baths of hot air and vapor, ending with massage, and the applica- ton of oil when the skin was dry or irritated. gave their flesh the appear ance of tinted marble and made it firm. soft and beautiful. These excel lent baths, Turkish. Russian and Ro- man. are to be had today in all the large cities of every country. They should not be taken if the heart or lungs are in any way affected and not oftener than once in two weeks except under a doctors recommendation. For curing eruptions of many kinds they are invaluable. besides keeping ths skin healthy and warding of rheuma- tism.
 The complexion. however. cannot be kept in order if tight lacing is to be :ndulged Fortunately Dame Fashion has altered her decree. and this great evil. one of the chief resources of ill., health
 Another primary cause of ill-health is malnutrition. The health of the lody depends upon its food. which. by the way. need not be either craved O. even desired to produce beneficial re- sults; but food must be regularly la ken. and those which are most easily digested are. of course. of greatest as- slstance.
 The secret of health is founded upon thoroughly resting the body. No one can do without plenty Of sleep Twp hours before midnight is better than ten after.
 Pure air In the bedroom is an abso- lute necessity Always keep it well ventilated.
 Fifteen minutes of worry is worse than tvo hours of hard work. worry is the foundation of all physical ills. Rest twice as hard as you work.
 Don't diet yourself. If you are a train-vorker. eat everything that agrees with your stomach If your work is hard manual labor you should -bs able 10 eat anything rational

venge. The sewed-up bottoms of their robes prevented their locomotion, and | all they could do was to scramble to their feet and tumble down again, fight ing all the time like demons in bags. Each thought himself the victim of a joke upon the part of his neighbor. and was fully determined to get even for the unseemly meddling with his sacred probobscis.
 Frightened at the unexpected work ings of his inventions, the clerk endeav- ored to escape in the darkness, but only succeeded in getting into the very midst of the melee. where he speedily found himself beaten and rolled on scandal ously.
 Two saints. finding that he had not on a robe. held him fast and shouted to the rest. who speedily suspended hos filities. The lantern was relighted. and in spite of the struggles and remon- strances of the inventor he was held by two brothers. while others snapped the nose holders onto his ears, nose. lips and nnEeTS-
 A rope was produced. and. to the clerks terrified eyes. t seemed as if they were about to hang him. Strength ened by fear. he jerked away from tho saints who held him. rushed against and over two of the brethren. and burst headlong through the side of the tent wholly ignoring the opening provided for egress.

 The rumpus aroused the others. who, feeling their peaks in the clutches of something, and thinking that at last the long expected occasion had arrived and Satan was already endeavoring to drag them of. leaped up with loud cries, and endeavored to rush out where they could go straight up without having to cut holes in the tent.
