MENDING NOSES WITH RIBS

Writing in medical journal New
York hospital surgeon cites several
cases Of bone grating of exceptional
character. One instance was that
which restored to facial sightliness a
railroad man who came out of an &C.
cldent with his nose so disfgured
that there was little OF it left The
surgeon took piece two inches in
length from the patients ninth rib,
and resting one end Of 1t on the re-
naming tip of the nose, and the other
on the nasal process of the frontal
bone, grated it with care. The still
living bone Of the rib united with the
nasal structure and formed a rafter
which effectually supported the flaps
OF skin which were brought up over
this newly fashioned feature. Photo
graphs taken before and after show
marked increase In good looks on
the part of the patient. Another pa
tient was a woman twenty-five years
old, who had fallen on her nose when
she was seven years old. The de-
formity was of the fattened and con-
cave variety. The surgeon construct
ed bridge from part of her ninth
rib, and she is now enjoying the pos
session of a nose Of almost Grecian
symmetry.

TO CHURCH IN BALLOON

Going to church in balloon was
the novel idea of c. J. Glidden and J..
]. Valkenburg at Topsfield, Mass, the
other Sunday. The aeronauts made
an early morning ascension from Low
ell, some twenty miles distant, prom
Using friends to land near a church
and attend services. After floating
before west wind for an hour and
half, two church spires were noted be-
low. The balloon was brought down
and struck ground 300 feet from the
Methodist Episcopal church Of Tops
field. The aeronauts waited until the
hour of services and then joined the
congregation. The pastor in his ad-
dress referred to the fact that two
of the congregation had dropped into
the service from the skies.

DIsFlGURED WITH CRUsTs

"Some time ago I was taken with
eczema from the top of my head to
my waist. 1t began with scales on my
body. 1 suffered untold itching and
burning, and could not sleep. I was
greatly disfgured with scales and
crusts. My ears looked as If they had
been most cut off withsa razor, and
my neck was perfectly raw. I suffered
untold agony and pain. tried two
doctors who said l had eczema in it's
fullest stage, and that it could not
be cured I then tried other rem
edies to no avail. At last, I tried set
of the genuine Cuticura Remedies,
which cured me of eczema when all
else had failed, therefore I cannot
praise them too highly.
Il suffered with eczema about ten
months, but am now entirely cured,
and I believe Cuticura Remedies are
the best skin cure there is" (Signed)

Rifle for Under Water Use.

When he is working in water infest-
ed by sharks and other sea monsters
likely to do him harm, the diver has
at present to rely for his safety on the
use of the knife or, failing that, on a
quick return to the surface. Now
comes the invention of Captain Grobl,
a German diving instructor, who has
constructed a rifle which can be fired
under water, and is designed for the
better arming Of the diver. The most
remarkable thing about this is that 1t
fires, not bullets, but water, which is
propelled with such farce that it has
an extraordinary power Of penetration.
Indeed, the inventor himself has
pierced armor plate of medium thick
ness with the water jet from his
weapon. The rife has a stout barrel
and is loaded with a cartridge cased

seventy-one Years in Shoe Shop.

Seventy-One Years In Shoe Shop.
Charles H. Wilson Of Troy, N. Y,
occupies the unique position of having
been in business in one building for II
years; at least he will have completed
Il years In the shoe business at 242
244 River street August IL next. This
record, it Is believed, can be equaled
by few if any shoe retailers in this
country. Mr.. Wilson has also been in
business for himself for more than so
years. Mr.. Wilson Is today just as
much in active business as he was al
most three quarters of century ago,
when as thirteen-year-old lad he en-
tered the employ Of John Leonard
Williams of Troy. To be exact, that
was August IL, 1910. Mr.. Williams
kept a shoe store at 242-244 River
street in a building which had been
erected in 1903, and so the building
now occupied by Mr.. Wilson for his
retail shoe business Is one Of the old
est buildings in Troy.

| NOT A "FULL-LENGTH" PAPA
Child Wanted Original of Portrait That
Had Been Made So Familiar
to Her.

An amusing incident is related of
a young service matron who had re-
linquished her husband for two years
and who, having before his departure
insisted on good photograph, applied
herself assiduously to the upbringing
of her two-year-old baby with a view
to the child's familiarity with her dis
t1nguished father. Each day she would
call the baby girl to her and, kneeling
beside her, would hold up the photo
graph, pointing out each feature to
the child.
One day the officer came home, and
the baby girl, then four years old,
was summoned. "Come, DEAR" said
the mother in glee, papa has come
home at last!" The child surveyed
the officer In perplexity and finally
shook her head
What is the matter, dear?" asked
her mother. Well" replied the child,
'he looks something like my papa, but
my papa hasn't any legs!''

be made in advance, because lack
of accommodations next week will
give the town a black eye in the
estimation of the state The housing
of these visitors will be a difficult
