straight by an operation, which, however,
should only be resorted to when the feature
causes real distress of mind. Broad nos
trils can be contracted by pinching them
through a muscular effort or wearing at
night a sort of. nose slip. This resembles
the good old-fashioned cloihespin. and
which all readers of Miss Alcott's Little
Women" will remember was resorted to by
Amy for the same purpose. The nose clip is
made of brass and may be had at any in
StrIment makers. II is most uncomfortable
TO wear, but what do we not suffer in the
pursuit of beauty? Even a beautifully
shaped nose cannot look well when it is
shiny or red. Where the skin of the nose
is excessively oily, it is often necessary to
remove the oil from the cuticle. This is
done by impregnating a soft rag with BEN
zine and wiping the nose off with it before
applying the zinc lotion, made in this way:
Sulphate of zinc, four grains; compound
tincture of 1avendaT sixteen drops; distilled
water, two ounces.

Worlds Oldest Industry.

From the Technical World Magazine.
There are in the Holy Land but few in
dustries. and these Of the most primitive
kind. The awful desolation of the Dead
sea, however, which lies nearly 1900 feet
below the level of the Mediterranean, is
broken here and there by the salt divers,
whose work is probably as ancient as the
human race itself. From remotest antiquity
the salt OF the Dead sea has been collected
and brought to the Jerusalem market,
where il is used for curing hides and for
domestic purposes.
Dead sea water contains over % per cent
of solid substances, of which per cent is
chloride of sodium, or common salt. It is
chloride of magnesium which gives the
water it's horribly bitter taste; while the
chloride of calcium makes it feel smooth
and oily TO the touch, so that after the
very curious sensation of a bath in the
Dead sea the skin retains an oily sensa-
ton.
The Dead sea contains no living creaturei
sea fish put into its waters speedily die.
Not a single boat navigates its strange
waters nor Is there any sign of life, save
the isolated parties OF salt divers, who
scrape and slowly amass their precious
glistening heaps of crystal near the mouth
of the Jordan.
When a sufficient cargo Is made ready
long string of camels crosses the desert;
and the salt is loaded up into panniers or
"shwerries, and taken into Jerusalem
where it finds ready market

ed she viii have less reason to complain of
her looks She is very fair haired, so she
must not choose black tint. which would
look artificial and vulgar. The right color
would be a light brown. There is no per-
manent stain for eyelashes, any more than
there Is for the hair, but some good dyes
last two or three weeks.
a homemade stain can be concocted IN
this manner:
Gum arabic. one dram; india ink, one-half
dram; rose water, four ounces. Powder the
ink and gum and triturate small quantities
of the powder with the rose water until you
get uniform black liquid in a powder and
add the remainder of the rosewater to it.
1t should be applied with very tiny caanels

Dark-haired girls are often troubled with
eyebrows that are too heavy, or that meet
across the bridge OF the nose. These SUI
perffuous hairs should be burned out with
the electric needle If permanent cure is
to be effected. Where the hairs are not too
strong they can be removed by the aid OF
tweezers or by good paste depilatory. A
toothpick or a stick Is dipped In the paste,

Orange Crops Foe.
From the Century

Il rum the century.
This line of work of the California COM
mission began nearly twenty years ago
In various parts of the state insect pests
of types little understood and difficult to
combat had for years been doing great
damage 1t Is related that nurseryman
not Tar from San Francisco who imported
some lemon trees from Australia laid the
foundation-the figure Is not altogether a
happy one-for millions of dollars dam
age. Upon his lemon trees was what is
called the cottony cushion scale tiny In
sect multiplying with remarkable rapidity
and capable of doing vast harm ii had
hitherto been unknown In American. An
orange grower In southern California Sc
cured some of the infected stock, and the
scale spread among the orchards. Some
times the pests were SO thick upon the
trees that they were as white as if COW
cred with snow. So terrible were the raw
ages of the pest, which DESTROYED all leaf
and blossom output of the tree, that in a
single year the shipments dropped from
5000 carloads to 900. None of the many
remedies tried did any permanent good
Digging up the trees and burning them was
useless, because the pest had spread 10 ali
manner of vegetation. The situation was so
critical that the ultimate extinction of the
orange industry seemed near at hand.
Relief came through the California COM
mission, aided by other Californians and
by the United States Department of Agri-
culture An expert of the department Mr.
A. Koebele was sent to Australia, where a
variety of ladybird was found-a brilliant
red insect perhaps an eighth Of an incn

them a better outline for the mouth and
lips. which should be always expressive

mouth and teeth on the personal beauty OF
a woman is admitted by ali, and mothers

daughters grow up with ugly teeth and Ill
shaped mouths. Children should not be
allowed to suck their thumbs If their

pretty mouths and even teeth. Constant
indulgence In this habit will often cause
the teeth to grow out of line or to pro-
trude.
Wonders are being performed in what is
called cosmetic dentistry. Crooked teeth
can be Strengthened decayed teeth cleaned
and hlled discolored ones bleached and
artificial ones which absolutely defy detec-
ton implanted. Whatever other economy
one must practice, let 1t not be in the care
of the teeth. To economize in dentistry is
fatal to the would-be beauty. Nothing is
more repulsive than black or discolored
teeth. For home use powdered pumce, used
once In two weeks only, will clean away the
tartar and sediment which accumulate
constantly and which hasten the decay Of
the teeth, and give them the greenish-yeI-
low look SO often seen. Use the pumice
this way:

lemon In half and dip the orange stick irto
the lemon juice, and then the powdered
pumice. Rub over the green spots until
they are removed, and rub the teeth clso,
Rinse thoroughly several times with wal m

remove the tartar and all discolorations
except those of decay. You should not
often resort to pumice stone. If You do II

certainly has no pretensions to beauty, but
she Is in the usual hot haste after 1t. and is
loath to lose q moment or even stop to con-
slider how her facial defects can be rene

would really like would be to have her nose
filled In, and made classic In outline by
magic; to have her high cheek bones
sn oothed away by elf1n fingers, and to
awaken some morning and find that fairy
lotion had decreased the size OF her mouth.
The fairies In the beauty business unfortu-
nately cannot do any of these things,
though they may promise to remedy certain
facial defects and to accentuate the good
points and develop every prophecy OF beauty
and so make up for the missing perfection
of feature.
To begin with. as long as there is health.

despair altogether of ultimate good looks,

they would not arrive at the discouraging
conclusion that there is no hope for them.

DUCK AND QUAIL
SEASON IS Open
WaterfOwls Are Much Scarcer
This Year Than They
We're Last.
HUNTERS SAY QUAIL is
ALSO RATHER SCARCE
Mallards Have Not Been Driven
South Thus Far by Cold
Weather.

The duck and quail season Of 1906
opened Monday, and the dawning of
day found thousands of sportsmen
ready to shoot the fowls as they began
to fly. AS was to be expected, the
number of hunters who took positions
on the shores of the lakes and sloughs
on the outskirts Of the city TO shoot
ducks greatly exceeded that of those
who took to the field and canyons east
aud south of the city in search Of quail.
Indulge in Stories.
Many enthusiastic hunters for duck
for the most part novices-wended their
way 10 the vicinity OF the lakes and
sloughs late Sunday night. Many
pitched tents and enjoyed sweet slum-
Der until the shooting began, while
others gathered around huge brush
fires and exchanged stories Of the great
hunting days they had seen in days
gone by.
Even before daylight the reports of
discharging shotguns could be heard in
the vicinity of practically every lake
and slough, with the result that by the
time it became light enough TO do any
accurate shooting the ducks had
assembled TO great height IN the air.
Many hunters assert that good shooting
lasted only about twenty minutes, the
ducks flying high out Of range or across
the Great Salt lake.
Few Mallards Shot,
Hunters maintain that ducks are
much scarcer this season than last, and
80 far as could be learned no hunter
was able TO pull down more than IF
teen Teal ducks are greatly in the
majority this year, there being but few
mellards shot or seen Monday. The
scarcity of the msllards, however, is eX-
planned by the fact that the weather at
their summer retreats in the northern
region has not been sufficiently cold to
cause them 10 seek the climate Of this
section or further southwark. Quail is
also reported to be somewhat scarce
this season, but not TO such marked
degree rs ducks
