NOSE CHANGES.
They Are Gradual and Imperceptible,
but Continuous.

but Continuous.
Don't worry about the shape Of your
baby's nose if it is a snub nor be sure If
1t pleases you by it's regularity that it
will be the nose that will grow up with
1t, for scientists have observed that no
feature changes more as life progresses.
The length of the nose increases so
much faster than it's breadth that the
snub nosed baby may evolve a long,
even hooked nose. This change in the
shape Of noses is gradual and imper-
ceptible, generally more expeditions in
the male than in the female, correlated
with various other characteristics, such
as intellectual attainments or weak
constitution, and producing different
results. During maturity and senes-
cence the bridge Of the nose becomes
more and more prominent, often more
convex, SO that extreme old age may
even develop an aquiline nose, so that
one need never despair of possessing a
satisfactory nose at some period Of his
life if he only lives long enough. But,
like so many other blessings that are
deferred, the right kind Of nose may
arrive too late to affect ones fortunes

soHooNER SINKS, ONE BROWNS.
Seven Other Members of Crew Res
cued After Hard Fight.

Cleveland, O., May 28.-Buffeted by
the fierce storm that swept Lake Erie
Monday, the schooner Mabel Wilson
sprang leak, and sank just outside
the Cleveland breakwater
One sailor, whose name has not yet
been learned, was drowned. Seven
otlDr members Of the crew were res
cued after Q hard fight, three Of them
being taken off by the tug Lutz, and
four by the life-saving crew.
The Mabel Wilson arrived off the
harbor shortly before daylight and in
response to her signals the Lutz went
out and tried to bring her inside the
harbor. Because Of a heavy sea, the
tug was unable to handle the vessel,
and the schooner was anchored IN the
hope that she might ride the storm,
but the waves soon engulfed her.
Captain Gotham and Mate Gunni-
son, Of the schooner, were badly hurt
while being taken from the sinking
vessel. They were taken to the marine
hospital.
The Mabel Wilson was loaded with
ore from Bscanaba. She was Of $500
tons burden, and was owned in De-
troit, Mich.

CRIMINAL BEES.
Honey Gatherers That Have Very
Loose Moral ideas.

Honey Gatherers That Have Very
Loose Moral ideas.
Almost every form and variety OF hui
man crime is to be found among ami
mails. Cases Of theft are noticed among
bees. Buchner in his Psychic Life Of
Animals" speaks Of thievish bees
which, in order to save themselves the
trouble of working, attack we'll stocked
hives in masses, kill the sentinels and
the inhabitants, rob the hives and car
ry off the provisions. After repeated
enterprises of this description they ac-
quire a Este for robbery and violence.
They recruit whole companies, which
get more and more numerous, and
finally they form regular colonies Of
brigand bees.
But 1t is still more curious fact that
these brigand bees can be produced ar
tificially by giving working bees mix
ture of honey and brandy to drink.
The bees soon acquire a taste for this
beverage, which has the same disas-
trous effects upon them as upon men.
They become i'll disposed and irritable
and lose all desire to work, and finally,
when they begin to feel hungry, they
attack and plunder the we'll supplied
hives.
There is one variety of bees - the
gphecodes - which live exclusively up
on plunder.

Wadesboro, N. O., May 28.-About i

The ONLY HOPE OF
AVERTING REVOLUTION
Is Formation of Ministry of Con.
stitutional Rights.
REBELS PROFIT BY DEADLOCK
Two Plans for ExtricatIne the Govern.
ment Without Meeting the Direct
Issue Ate Suggested by the Empe-
ror's Moderate Advisors.

St. Petersburg, May 2S.-The pessi-
m1sm over the OutIook continues to
grow. The govern ext, as usual, in
every crisis, seems to be hesitating as
to which course to pursue. The en-
peror refuses to yield to the counsels
Of the court OF Carilla, but his at
tttude continues to be negative and
affirmative. He seems to cling to the
idea that a compromise is still possi-
BILE. Several official notes have been
issued denying that the government in
tends TO resort to force, but at the
same time there is no evidence that
the emperor is ready to yield to the
demand for the supercession of the
present ministry with one from the
majority in the lower house of parlia-
ment. The result is virtual dead
lock, the prolongation of which can
ony. serve to diminish the chances
Of peaceful settlement.
Two plans for extricating the gov
ernment without meeting the direct
Issue are suggested by the emperor's
moderate advisors. One is simply to
allow the lower house to talk until
the end of June, when the summer
vacation will be scheduled.
The other is to dissolve parliament
and order a new election. But the
latter course, in the Judgment of the
best judges, will only increase the dan
ger Of the situation.
The peasantry, whose hopes are in
parliament, would doubtless be pro-
foundly stirred by the government s
refusal to distribute the crown and
church lands and recognize the prin-
ciple Of the appropriation Of private
holdings, and many people expect to
see the destruction of their hopes fol.
loweded by an immediate uprising of
the peasants against the mobiles.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press has talked with a number of
landlords from various parts of the
country who declare that the peas
ants are frantically attached to par
lament, and that between the dictum
Of the emperor and of parliament they
will obey the authority of the latter.
The revolutionary leaders and the po.
letarlat organizations of the cities are
sure to profit by the deadlock and a
Terroristic campaign is already in full
swing.
M. Shipoff, of Moscow, who last
week was considered a possible com.
promise premier, is out with an in
terview declaring that after the &C.
tion of the lower house on Saturday
he would not accept the premiership.
The only hope now of saving Russia
from a revolution is the formation
of ministry of constitutional rights
which will throw on the lower house
the responsibility of fighting the ex.
treme elements.

Washington, May 28.-The house
committee on ways and means has set
tied the long pending controversy be-
tween Port Arthur and Sabine Pass,
Tex, in their desires to each become
port of entry in favor Of Port Ar

reported which accepts the offer of
John w. Gates, made on behalf of the
Kansas City Southern railroad and
which gives to the government the tide
water canal at Port Arthur, said to
have cost $1,500,OO0. The bill au-
thortzes the secretary of war to ac-

to acquire from the state of Texas,
the control Of the waters of the port.

ENGLISH ELECTIONS.
Standing For a Seat In ParIiamen
Is Expensive.

Is Expensive.
Although there are strict laws
against bribery in the English cleo
tions, standing for a seat In parlia-
ment Is by no means an inexpensive
matter. Even a small constituency
will cost not less than $1,000, and the
expenses run from that up to $4,000.
At one election a candidate paid out
on an average of $50 for each vote.
but this is regarded as the record
price, the cost running as low as 81
a head.
The purchasing Of a vote disqualifes
the candidate, even though he may be
innocent Of any participation in the
bribery, and as a result candidates
and their workers-"agents'' they call
them in England-are most careful
that their actions shall be above sus-
picion.
Dinners may be served a constitu-
ency, but payment even to the,womep
Of family is regarded as bribery, and
the candidates are compelled to trust
to speeches, house to house convasses
and literature, both for hand distribu-
ton and in the form of DOaferS4
