NEW NOSE MADE FOR WOMAN

A woman recently left the London
hospital with a new nose made from
a flap of skin taken from her own
forehead. The operation was rendered
necessary on account Of an ulcer of
years growth, which had gradually
eaten away all the tissues of the nose.
A racquet-shaped flap of skin about
two inches in length and an inch and
a quarter wide was cut, extending up
wards, from the bridge Of the nose,
the beginning of the handle" Of the
racquet being the only point Of at
tachment. The skin was very care
fully detached from the underlying
bone, and, being swung round with its
attachment at the base Of the nose.
was made to cover the previously de-
nuded nose area The new nose was
stitched into place at the sides, open
ings being left for the woman's nos
trils. The denuded space on the fore
head was then covered in with skin
gratis. The patient. woman of fifty
years, who was only three weeks in
the hospital, left well pleased with
her artificial features.

That Was All Joel Parker Spent In
His Successful Campaign to Be
Chief Executive of New
Jersey.

Joel Parker, who died in 1888, at
the age of seventy-two, gained ma
tional distinction at the time of the
Civil war because, although elected
governor Of New Jersey as Demo
crat. he was nevertheless one of the
most efficient and jealous of all the
war governors of the north. His
unique distinction, in fact, was that
he was the great Democratic war
governor of the Union. He served
from 1862, to 1866 and in 1875 he was
the favorite son of the New Jersey
Democrats for the presidential NOM
ination.
Five years before Governor Par
ker's party became very much dis
turbed by the understanding that the
Republicans were going to nominate
for governor very rich manufactYr-
er-Cornelius Walsh, by name-who,
1t was understood, had expressed a
Willingness to contribute very large
sum of money in support of his can
didacy. In their perturbation the
Democratic leaders sought out Gov,
ernor Parker at his home in Free
hold.
WELL" replied the war governor.
after few moments of thought, Il
have just got into the full swing of
my law practise again, and for me to
drop 1t all would mean a considerable
monetary sacrifice. Still, if my party
makes a sincere call for me l will
listen to it, upon this one condition,
that I shaii-not spend any money,
that my party shall not spend any
money except for absolutely neces-
sary expenses, in the campaign, and
that you will make the campaign up
on this ISSUE"
The condition was accepted by the
Democratic leaders, Governor Parker
was duly nominated and in the ex-
citing campaign that followed there
was plenty of evidence that his op-
ponent was spending large amount
of money. Nevertheless, when the
votes were counted, it was found that
the Democratic war governor had
triumphed.
The day following the election
and here comes in the new news
Governor Parker, in his capacity as a
lawyer. was obliged to appear before

Many Odd Things That Would Happen
If Globe Changed Its
Speed.

Conjecture has often been made as
to what would happen If the earth
were to rotate faster upon its axis
than it does. Of coarse if it went IS
times as fast as 1t does now, bodies at
the equator would weigh nothing
person would jump into the air and
fail to come down again. A man might
weigh 200 pounds at the poles and
nothing at the equator, while his
weight would vary for intermediate
points. If he approached the equator
he would get lighter, and If he receded
from it he would get heavier. A man
could carry a house on his shoulders
very near the equator, while near eth
er pole he could only carry what one
can now. On this account labor would
be very dear near the poles and very
cheap near the equator. It would GER
tainly be interesting to know which
section Of the earth would be most
