The Nose.

The nose, the most conspicuous fea-
ture of the human face, has always
been regarded with great interest from
an esthetic point of view, but 1t is
within a comparatively recent period
that its Importance in the matter of
health has been recognized.
Its external cOnfiguration goes far to
make or mar beauty of feature, and
considered from the point of view of
health, its internal conformation is of
even more significance.
The inside Of the nose is divided in
to two compartments by thin plate of
bone and cartilage, called the septum.
The outer wall Of each of these cavities
has three projecting lodges, formed of
curved plates of bone covered with a
loose membrane containing great
number Of blood-vessels. Opening into
the nasal cavity on each side are sew.
eral hollow spaces in the bones of the
face, all lined with mucous membrane
and containing air.
The nerves of smell are located in
the mucous membrane which lines the
nostrils, and when inflammation of
the membrane occurs, as in a cold in
the head, this sense is more or less de-
strOyed for the time being.
The most important function of the
nose is that of breathing organ. The
curved plates of bone serve to Increase
the surface covered with mucous men,
brane, so that the air in passing over
it is warmed and moistened, and so
rendered fit to enter the bronchial
tubes and lungs 1t is also filtered and
freed from dust and from the many
disease-germs which it carries. The
dust and microbes are caught on the
moist surface and are carried back to
the entrance Of the nostrils in a cur
rent caused by the constant downward
movement Of microscopic hair-like pro-
jections on the mucous membrane.
This explains In part the evils that
result from mouth-breathing, for then
the air is neither warmed nor puri
fed, and on entering the bronchial
tubes it causes congestion. This in
turn lessons the resisting power, which
all mucous membranes possess, against
the action Of disease-germs.
Catarrhal Inflammation, diphtheria,
tuberculosis, and other respiratory dis
eases are much more likely to attack
those who, through habit or necessity,
breathe largely through the mouth.
Obstruction of one nostril, such as
occurs when the septum projects to
one side or when there are tumors
called polypi, or other swellings of the
Mucous membrane, puts too much work
on the free nOstril. Its membrane be-
comes congested, and catarrh results
This obstruction may be only tempo
rary and may right itself, but when 1t
Is permanent 1t is necessary to remove
It by operation as measure Of protN
tion to the general health.

CT. LOU1S.-1t pays to be careful
y when a president is in town. No,
It didn't pay in this case. But that
was because the senor had only box
of headache powders in his hand, but
anyway. he couldn't speak English,
and let his hair grow long and, to ar
fists looked like genius and like an
anarchist to the policemen. So he
was lucky to escape.
It was during the Taft banquet at
the Planters hotel. The banquet mu-
sicians were principally of the ravioli
fed type who can't speak any English,
but "Nize day? What? Sure! Ha.
hal" and that sort of stuff.
They had been blowing into their
horns, and with the blowing and the
enthusiastic vivas they had been
blowers contracted q severe pain in
his head. The band leader sent a
shaggy haired member to drug store
to buy something to ease the pain.
He got out all right, bought the
medicine and started back. At the
foot of the steps he was stopped by
policeman (an Irish pol1ceman)! /!
with a club and an inherent desire
to hit a foreigner on the conk with the
shilelah club, if for no other purpose
than merely to develop hts muscle.

also ate the fancy paper off the

even a bed, and upset the cententy of

The motive power of the machine is
a strong rubber band, one-half inch
wide. At either end Of the frame is
a wooden knob, into which the three
wires forming the body of the frame
are firmly fixed. These knobs are
sharpened at the end. They may be
made from spools.
A piece Of wire bent at right angles
is fixed in the forward knob. Over
this the rubber band is hitched. It is
then stretched to similar piece Of
wire passing through the rear knob.
This is the propeller shaft. The pro-
peller is Of tin. and is fastened to
the shaft by means of two small nuts,
the end of the shaft being wormed to
receive them.
The propeller can be given a proper
