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 IA
within comparatively recent period
that its Importance in the matter OF
health has been recognized.
Its external confguration goes far ia
make or mar beauty of feature, and
considered from the point of view oil
health, its internal conformation Is OF
even more significance.
The inside of the nose is divided In.
to two compartments by a 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
loose membrane containing a greal
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 N
the mucous membrane which lines the
nostrils, and when Inflammation ot
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

rendered fit to enter the bronchial
tubes and lungs. 1t is also filtered and
freed from dust and from the many
disease-germs which 1t carries. The
dust and microbes are caught on the
moist surface, and are carried back to
the entrance of the nostrils in 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 tumorg,
called polypi, or other swellings of the
mucous membrane, puts too much work
on the free nostril. It's membrane be.
comes congested, and catarrh results.
This obstruction may be only Tempo
rary and may right itself, but when II
is permanent 1t is necessary to remove
it by operation as measure Of protec
ton to the general health,

that, because Of advanced years of the

Musical Instruments Attached to
Tails of Flying Birds.
One Of the most curious expressions
Of emotional life is the application Of
whistles to flock Of pigeons. These
whistles, very light weighing but
few drams, are attached to the tails
of young pigeons soon after their birth
by means of fine copper wire, so that
when the birds fly the wind blowing
through the whistles sets them vibrat-
ing and thus produces an open air con-
cert, for the instruments In one and
the same flock are tuned differently.
On serene day In Pekin, where these
instruments are manufactured with
great cleverness and ingenuity, it is
possible to enjoy this aerial music
while sitting in ones room, says the
Scientific American.

tles-those consisting Of bamboo tubes
placed side by side, and type based

novel. 1t Is advanced In its favor that

care women are bestowing on their
teeth. OF course all women Of the last
two generations, even those careless In

regard to their dental charms, but 1t
Is asserted that since the advent of the
Merry Widow they have been more at
.entive to them than ever, the New
York Press says. A cosmetic dentist
explains this by pointing out that when
4 woman wears large hat her hair
Is almost covered except at the sides,
where 1t is puffed out; her forehead
.s hidden, and her temples are merely
suggested, so that nothing stands out
clearly save her nose and mouth, and
as result the teeth are noticed as
hey never were before.
This state Of affairs is brought about
in a great measure by the hats with
arge round crowns and dropping brims.
Most girls, when they want to show
their teeth, think it necessary to smile
BROADLY, says the cosmetic dentist, and
:hus proclaim their intention in a most
patent manner. They should learn to
Ihow them without making their inten-
ion obvious. 1t Is not necessary to
smile broadly; in fact, far more eff
tective' result is obtained If the lips
are only slightly parted in the center
when the emotions Of amusement or
happiness are to be expressed.

cialist tells them to think pleasant

The gourd whistles are furnished
with mouthpiece and small apertures
to the number of two, three, six, ten
and even thirteen. Certain among
them have, besides, a number of bam-
boo tubes, some on the principal
mouthpiece some arranged around it.
These varieties are distinguished by
different names. Thus whistle with
one mouthpiece and ten tubes is called
"the eleven eyed one.'

reason to believe that hungry hawk

an afterthought which came up long
after the introduction of this usage
through the attempt to give a rational

pleasure from this music.
