Complexion Blemishes-l am some
times consulted as to the best means
of treating the distiguring red vein
marks or SPRAYS which frequently make
their appearance on the face, and espec-
tally at the sides of the nose. They do
not usually come until middle age, and
are due to the blood-vessels becoming
dilated. At the first symptom of their
appearance frequent bathing with cold
water, followed by friction, will some
times dispense them, as this causes the
vessels to contract, but when the vein.
mark S have become pronounced, they
are best treated by electrolvsis. A skilled
operator can, by means of the electric
needle, completely remedy the defect,
but need hardly say that for such an
operation lnedically-traned and prop
unqualified practitioner of electrolysis
should be chosen.

Tie Dogs Cold Nose

I When Noah, perceiving twas timc to
embark,
Desired the creatures t. enter the ark,
The dog, with lriendliness truly sub
lime,
Assisted i'll herding them. Two at time,
He drove in the elephants, zebras, and
gnuS
Until they were packed like hoxfu OF
screws
The cat in the cupboard, the mouse on
the shelf,
The bug In the crack. Then he backed
in himself
Put Il h was the lack of available space,
-, couldn't tuck all of him into the place;
And so, though the rivers rushed over
the plain
And down from the heavens fell blankets
of rain,
He stood with his muzzle thrust out
through the door
The whole forty DAYS Of the terrible pour.
Because of which drenchng, the sages
untold,
The nose of healthy dog always is true.

An sobbed bout the naughty spot"
She'd said: He shan't be whipped, he

And kissed me-but, somehow, | can't.
But l don't think it fair bit
That when she talks an talks at YOU
An you wait patient till she S through,
An start to tell your side of it,
She says: NOW that'll do, my son;
I've heard enough, tore you begun.
F should die before wake
Maybe amt got any soul;
Maybe there's only just hole
Where't ought to be--there's such an ache
Down there somewhere. She seemed
to think
That just loved to spill that ink.
