perfect nose-that is. one which unites
harmony OF form. correctness Of pro
portion and proper affinity with the
other features.
The following are. according TO the
rules OF art. the conditions requisite
to the beauty of this organ:
The nose should have the same
length as the forehead and have a
slight depression at its root From its
root to its extremity 1t should follow IA
perfectly straight line and come exact
ly over the center OF the upper lip The
bridge OF the nose, parallel on both

Ch1INAMAN AT ATELEPHONE
Celestial Gets the worth OF Hts Mon

"A Chinaman at the telephone Is a
Funny thing" remarked a long distance
telephone operator in the Denver News
few days ago. You see. II II irnpos-
sible TO tell whether one person or half
q dozen are talking. and we often be-
come mixed up in listening to them.
When one 10 speaking. II seems as II

Imagine the wires are out Of order. To
make matters worse the Chinese de-
light in talking rs fast as possible. and
we never know whether the Chinaman
at this end OF the wire IL talking or II
1t is the one at the other end. After the
conversation is ended the Chink walks
out of the booth with a self satisfied
smile on his face and pays for a three
minutes talk. We have lately discoy-
cred that he invariably says as much
during that time as could have been
said by a white man In fifteen min
utes"
To be sure, the telephone company Is
not really 'out" anything by the trans
action, as it ia paid by the minute: but.
nevertheless, In. the case Of Cinnamon.
the company would be the gamer by
charging for volume instead OF time. A
Chinaman always begins his talk in

RELIEF FOR THE UNFORTUNATE.
Where the United States Is Behind
European Countries.

The plan for establishing a state
labor colony incidentally calls atten-
ton to the backwardness of the new
world in two important matters. the
relief of honest men out of employ
ment and the suppression of Migrants.
Save for the work done chiefly by pri-
Vate organizations. in few large
cities, there would be absolutely moth
Ing IN the United States which a
swiss, German or Dutch charity work

men, whose country is overrun by
vagabonds, can point with pride to
relief measures which have already
done much to reduce the suffering
due to the enforced continuous idle
ness Of from 6.5 per cent. to seven
per cent Of all workingmen. The
idea OF allotting small gardens to men
out OF work was conceived and put
into practice by Gen. van den Bosch in
Holland a. far back as 1918; to-day
more than 1000 poor families are thus
supported in the little kingdom. The
environs OF Paris are dotted with some
1000 plots assigned by the Workmen's
Garden Society to the unemployed.

Suns Heat.

Popularity speaking. the heat of the
sun is such that the total annual out
put OF all the earth's coal mines would
serve to keep up the solar radiation
for only one-forty-millionth part of
second. If the earth was a solid mass
OF coal and could be supplied to the
solar furnace 1t would last Just SO
hours. The same difficulty attends
the attempt to mentally realize the
amount OF the solar heat that is ap-
propriated by our planet. Science has
demonstrated that the amount of the
suns heat caught by the earth is only
the 2,250-millionth part In other
words. the heat of the sun is sufi-
cient to warm up 2.25O,OOO, 900 worlds
the size OF the one we are living in
New York American.

No reason exists, says a foreign jour
nal, why persons should not keep their
beloved ones with them after death,
since their bodies can very easily be
mummifed. The ancient Egyptians, 1t
continues. were experts at this art, and
a close study of some of their mum
mies shows how they did the work.

contains chloride OF calcium and which
is heated to 125 degrees and after re-

A fare was being ratified through q

car drawn by a no less rickety horse.
Having proceeded some distance. the
horse. owing to apparent old age and
sheer exhaustion, fell. never to rise
again. The fare was very profuse in
his sympathies toward the driver, who.
however. appeared to take the whole
thing very coolly and explained:
It's just like this with me, your hon.
