December should mark radical changes In our diet , It now being the mission of our food to "keep out the cold" as well as to nourish the body. Good soups and good meats are now of flrst Importance Indeed , are synon ymous with good sense , begging the pardon of our vegetarian friends. Purees ( of meat foundation ) and all the strong , rich soups to be avoided at other seasons are strictly la mid winter order. In winter meat becomes the pivotal point of our diet. The ftar of yellow fever among the people has almost entirely obscured the danger from diphtheria , tuberculosis and ty phoid fever and other infectious dis eases which confront us at all tlm \ and during oil seasons. The danger from a case of diphtheria In Now York at any season of the year Is far grnater than the danger from a case of yellow- fever In the same place ; still , persons who would shun a street whore a cnso of yellow fever existed would delib erately enter the apartment of u per son suffering from diphtheria. A se rious outbreak of typhoid fever cre ates but little consternation , and the presence In our midst of innumerable coses of tuberculosis , a disease which is responsible for an Incredible num ber of deaths , is looked upon with in difference by the public , says the North American Review. The mis conception in regard to the danger from this class of diseases often ren ders the efforts of health ofllouls In effectual. The Italians consider a large > nose desirable and beautiful. Recently there have been two competitions la which noses have played the leading part. One at Padua was held by th& students , and prized of pocket handker chiefs and snuff-boxes were awarded for "noses the most pronounced and respectable. " At Milan a more Im portant competition was held , the competitors numbering thirty-six. The flrst prize , a gold medal , was won by a Venetian , whoso nose was found to bo "of formidable proportions , long , well pronounced , aggressive , trench ant like ft knife blade. " The second prize , an enameled medal , went to the man who owned a nose "domineering , assuming , with nostrils wide and cav ernous. " The third medal went to a man whoso nose was "refined and sym metrical , " while the last two medals to were awarded for n nose "without pretension , ingenuous , but solid and well-planted , " and another "consider able , regular and worthy of respect.

Cri mea , where viticulture was formerly confined almost wholly , has come to see the industry extend north and cast into the provinces of Kherson , Podolla and Bessarabia. Some of the planta tions are very large , notably that ol Prince Troubetskol , which covers 500 acres. The acting British consul at Odessa is authority for the statement that in BessArabla especially Is the growth el the vineyards particularly noticeable and the quality of the wine excellent In 1893 108,000 acres in this locality alone were given up to the grapes irhlle four years Inter 175,000 acres were In use. The wines are snld to be much cheaper than the same kind In France. It was only last year that tbo flrst shipment of Russian wines reached England , but the Russians confidently zpeot to make grape culture ono of their leading products. Odessa has two champagne factories , opened to compete with French products. A Traveled Oat. A cat has Just died at Sen Pranslsco who had traveled nearly a million miles. He belonged to the chief en gineer ot the Royal Mall stcamor Ala- < louia , and for thirteen years was his companion on board ship in all his voyages between Sidney and San Fran cisco.

Btaittand anil 'WifoVho llelteved Ea h Other Dead for It ) Yean , Reunited. A Now York dressmaker and a skip- par , who for ton years has been sailing between New York and Liverpool , are tbo central figures In a strange ro mance that ended this week at Char lotte , N. C. , which was their original homo. In 1880 Frank Andrews. of Charlotte , decided to remove to Texas , as hla physician bad recommended u obtuse of climate. His friend , Wil liam Gross , decided to go with him la search of fortune. Cross * wife was in delicate health and could not ac company him. Cross spent several years In T xas , keeping la constant correspondence with hla wifo. Fin ally be decided to try hla luck on the Pacific coast. Ho went to San Fran cisco and adopted a seafaring life. He joined the crew of a tramp schooner , carrying freight to various ports in tbo Pacific ocean. When he left Sun Francisco news cane from his wife Lhat she was so ill that he could hard ly hope to reach her beside before she died. When his vessel , passed out "f tbo Golden Gate ho thought ho would ever see his wife again , and the last tte that hound him to his North Car olina homo was broken. The ship W B bovmd on a voyage half way around the world. In the China Sea the vessel was caught In a typhoon and wrecked. Only n few of the crew were saved. Fcr two days they float ed in a little c i ii hunt , until a Rus Ian steamer , L/.amd for a Siberian port , rescued them. The Russian ship put in at Vladivostock and the ship wrecked sailors were left there. Fin ally Cross came to Now York and re- cured employment In the transatlan tic service. Ho bad not written to his North Carolina friends , nor had ho heard from them slnco ho left San Francisco twelve years before. A few weeks ago Cross was seized with longing to visit his old home. An drews , his companion In Texas , hail returned to Charlotte , and Cross wrote to him , and learned to his astonish ment that his wife was still alive , but could not ascertain where she was then living. Cross went to Charlotte at once and tried to find trace of her The local newepapeis contained ac counts of Cross' visit theie. Mrs Gross had recovered from the illness that brought her to death's door. She read an account of the loss of the ship on which her husband sailed "with allen on board , " and had mourned him as dead. In 1892 she secured a position as dressmaker in this city , and has been living hero ever since , little dreaming that her husband was sail ing into port at frequent intervals. Tbo Charlotte papers were frequently sent to her by n friend , and in one of them she read of Cross' return. A little telegraphing soon settled any doubts of Identity , and the overjoyed husban.l and wife arranged for a leunlon at Charlotte , where they had parted nine teen years before. They were cordial ly welcomed by many old friends , and will begin life anew in the town where they grew up as children.
