BEAUTIFUL NOSES.
They Are Very Rare, It Seems, and
Deserve Honorable Mention.

They Are Very Rare, II Seems, and
Deserve Honorable Mention.
Lovely eyes you will find a-plenty,
and, though finely cut mouths are
scarcer, it will be strange day when
you DO not see several But the dis
covery Of really beautiful nose is an
event Of a lifetime. I myself have
found exactly seven And yet con-
slider myself catholic in my taste for
noses. I can enjoy nose for its
mere expressive1ess, whether it Is ag-
gressive or aristocratic or humorous.
But It Is amazing how seldom this
feature really satisfies the eye. The
bridge may be too thick or too high,
the line from the forehead too abrupt
or too severely straight. More often
nose that is really promising In its be-
ginning fails In the end. It keeps on
too long; or not long enough, while the
tip finds a dozen ways to err, and q
fine nostril is rarely seen In our
typical American faces, overcrowded
with features as our houses are with
furniture, the nose IS commonly dis
proportionately large.
But your really beautiful nose IS q
delight In every way. 1t Is as far from
sharpness as from coarseness. ItshoWs
strength without obtrusiveness, deli
cacy without fastidlousness, breeding
without arrogance. It suggests humor,
spirit and daring. Bu* tell you can
didly that there are net more than 100
such In the 100000 noses Of New York.
You are lucky when one happens to
come your way.-AtlaItic Monthly.

Discomfort.

Success Is q disease, If the reason
Ing Of those who give the identical def
milton for poverty is to be followed.
An excellent preventive is idleness O.
Inc ctia: another Is satisfaction. Find
the man who Is satisfied and you neea
look no further for human putty. Con-
tent breeds Indias and Chinas. Dis
content sends Mayfowers across oceans
not the sullen discomfort that does
nothing, but the discomfort that mani
tests itself in striving to better coz
ditions, the discomfort that means hare
work and plenty of it. Some firms are
so contented with the volume Of busi-
ness they have that they do nothing to
increase it. But the discontented COM
petitor is doipg something, as the firSe
firm generally finds out before going
into bankruptcy. You go ahead or yoa
20 back In this world. You cannot
stand still. Satisfaction too often means
just th"t--doing no. no.hing.-Philadelphia

Dell1nts Of Came! Riding.

It was my first experience Of camss
riding and therefore interesting If not
altogether charming. The saddles used
on this journey were formed Of large
pc v. one in front and one behind the
hump. The driver climbs into place
In front. with huge peaked pad to
keep him from falling of when the
camel rises Then the passenger
mounts behind the hump. and the cam
el is with difficulty persuaded to rise
This he does hind quarters first. AID
the passenger finds himself thrust up
in midair as if on tower. The huge
pad offers no possible support, and be
can scarcely overcome his desire to
prevent a fall by putting his feet On
the drivers shoulders. That worthy,
however, soon comes up to join him,
and the expedition starts. The first
sensation Is Of being astride table,
and as the niles so by the table In
creases alarmingly in width, and the
tyro on the back seat begins to despair
Of ever getting his legs acquainted
again.-Wide World Magazine.

On Prisoners of War.

With reference to the modern treat
ment Of prisoners Of war, 1t IS interest
ing to recall the views which R l.
Stevenson In his novel, "St Ives" puts
into the mouth Of a French prisoner Of
war in Edinburgh castle, which was
turned into a military prison In the
time Of Napoleon. he says: "There Is
q horrible practice In England to trick
out In ridiculous uniform and, as 1t
were, to brand in mass, not only con-
victs, but military prisoners and even
the children In charity schools. I
think some malignant genius had
found his masterpiece Of irony In the
dress which we were condemned to
wear-jacket, waistcoat and trousers
Of a sulphur or mustard yellow and a
shirt Of blue and white, stripe cotton"

LIMITS OF VISION.
Why II Seems to Rain In Streaka In.
stead Of In DROPS,

Why It Seems to Rain In Streako In
stead Of In Drops.
When it is raining just what does
one see? We know that the rain con-
sists Of drops, nearly spherical, falling
either vertically or at an angle Ut the
wind be blowing). But what do we
see? We see streaks through the air
and not drops at all The reason Is
that the eye cannot follow the raindrop
in its fight and so cannot see just the
drop continually. The eye gets only
one glimpse Of the drop In one position,
while an impression Is made on the
ret1na for some distance by the drop
moving.
II the drop were still We could look
at 1t as long as we chose, and the image
of the drop would be In just one place
on the retina, but II we let the drop
escape from our direct view it makes
an image, or, rather, a succession Of
images, on the retna, and that Is what
We see.
ooS WY oOCS LlS &St|A<A oAOU I&&&o
succession Of images? It certainly
sees at lily one time the drop In just
one position, SO 1t would seem that the
last position seen would be tie one.
This Is not the case, and the cause Is
due to what Is known as persistence Of
vision. We cannot quit seeing thing
Immediately after getting view Of
1t. It takes about an eighth OF Sec
ond for the retna to lose an image,
and so this succession Of images will
be on the retina at one time and VIII
cause streak.
For the same reason the spokes Of
a rapidly rotating wheel cannot be
seen except as blur. For the same
reason moving pictures are possible
