NOSES MADE AS COOD AS NEW.
Celluloid, Patience and Sometimes
Finger Needed.
He would not, with a peremptory tone,
Assert the nose upon his face his own.
Cowper.
And how could he If that nose were
fashioned of celluloid, gold, platinum
or even a baser metal? asks the New
York World. "Building a nose" sounds
queer, and yet that Is Just what sur
geons are doing almost every day.
Every surgeon who possesses mechan
ical ability enough to be called a "plas
tic Burgeon" will take a contract to
build a nose Just as a builder takes a
contract for building a house.
The operator, In the case of a man,
the bony portion of whose nose has
been destroyed, first removes the dead
bone until he finds healthy bone.
He is then ready to proceed with the
building. Holes are drilled Into the
sound bone for the reception of the
metallic frame work which is to sup
port the llesh that will give the nose
the appearance of having its natural
bony and cartilaginous support.
Proba' the most famous case of
nose-building is that of the late Dr.
Thomas Sabine. The operation was
performed at Bellevue hospital. The
patient's 1 nose had been entirely de
stroyed by a disease called lupus.
The surgeon transplanted the middle
finger of the patient's hand to replace
the nose. To the house surgeon fell the
task of destroying the nail. For this he
used a powerful acid. In relating hia
experience recently he said that he sup
posed his work had proved successful,
but after the finger had been trans
planted he found that the nail was in
clined to grow again, and he was
obliged to use the acid repeatedly be
fore it was finally destroyed.
There are surgical records of other
similar cases in many of which the nail
had grown on the "finger nose."
In ordinary cases where only the
bony portion of the nose has been de
stroyed, celluloid is said to prove most
satisfactory, as it is better borne in
living tissues than any other substance,
A case was recently shown at the
Academy of Medicine. The patient was
a young man whose nasal bones had
been destroyed through diseases. The
skin had fallen into the cavity.
The shape of his nose was restored
by an aluminum tripod. The surgeon
drilled a hole in the frontal bone for
the reception of one branch of the ap
paratus, while the other branches fitted
Into holes which had been drilled in
the upper Jawbone. To the untrained
eye the nose had every appearance of
being normal.
. Bad Many Offers.
Africa is the greatest place in the
world for the new woman and the old
maid. For the former it has its
charms that would put the Bola de
Boulogne in a total eclipse, and for
the old maids it is a tropical paradise,
where young, unmarried men, bloom
in wild, tangled luxury the year
around. Mrs. May French Sheldon, the
African explorer, writer and lecturer,
is neither a new woman nor and old
maid, and yet she had sixty proposals
of marriage in one day from sixty
separate and distinct chiefs, each of
whom was more stalwart and ardent
than the others, and Mrs. French Shel
don was compelled to give each separ
ately the marble heart. And as for
the new woman, why, the African ex
plorer says they can give our brand
newest bloomer-rigged species any
number of cards and spades and then
discount them. Bebe ' Bwana, the
woman master, or the white queen
man, as the merry sultans and dusky
chiefs called Mrs. French Sheldon, has
penetrated farther into the mysterious
heart of that dark continent than any
other white woman has ever done, and
the other day she told a reporter a
number of interesting experiences
which she had among the many tribes
she visited.
The sixty offers of marriage were
made one afternoon after she had form
ally received the sultan of one of the
interior districts in her tent which
tent, by the way, Mrs. French Sheldon
always arranged as near like a boudoir
In a well-appointed private bouse as
was possible. She was the first white
woman who had ever invaded that
district and the sultan appreciated the
honor and in his poor weak way tried
to give a sort of torchlight procession
and, strawberry festival in her honor.
His resources, however, were extreme
ly limited, and after he had sacrificed
a double portion of goats and had
salaamed before her until he was
threatened with curvature of the spine
he felt that something was still lack
ing and that his guest was not thor
oughly enjoying heraeif. Suddenly a
nappy thought struck him. Whenever a
straggling white man had wandered in
to his preserves it had been his cus
tom to unload sixty or eiglty wives
upon him and then dismiss him with
a sultanic "Bless you, my- children."
Why not reverse the ceremony with
the woman master? he argued to his
secretary of state for war. The secre
tary thought it was a capital idea and
:he chiefs of all the tribes or assembly
listricta were ordered before his ma
lesty and ordered to propose to the
Bele Bwana at once.

A Surprise.
The shades of night were falling- I
their usual way. One by one the electrle
lights came out and went out, two and
three at a time. The streets of Big
Boom City were deserted.
Everybody was down at Ante Ike's
saloon.
The benches along the walls of the
room were covered with men.
That crowd was broke.
Any man that had money or had a
friend that had money was at the bar
drinking.
It wa Killer Bill's time to set 'em up.
No one ever refused him.
A long time ago six or seven men
tried it. That was the way Big Boom
City's graveyard got a start.
Three men stood at his right and thret
men stood at his left.
"Whafll yer 'ave?" Bill asked.
"Whisky!"
"Whisky!"
"Whisky!" -'
"Whisky!" ' " ' , 1 I '
"Whisky!"- ! '! ' ' F
"Whisky!"
"Me, too," said Bill.
Ante Ike put the bottle and glasses on
the bar.
Suddenly the door opened and a yeung
man entered. He was certainly from
some other diggings. His hat was a
silk hat. His shoes were patent leather.
There was a long line down each leg of
his trousers, which looked as though It
had been made by folding the pants
tightly right there.! His coat had two
long tails to It. He even wore a necktie.
In his pocket was a letter addressed
"Van Whlzzer De Parnllle, manager of
the Yarvard Football Team."
He entered with an easy air.
His long training at Yarvard enabled
him to enter a bar room with that.
"Hello!" remarked Killer Bill.
"I beg panitn," said the young, as he
held a green carnation to hla well-cut
ose.
Wello! Ain't yer got no ears?"
Jt you m n that word for a saluta-i
tion," said the young man, "good even
ning." One hundred and twelve citizens of
Big Boom City held their breaths.
(No sooner had they held them than
the young man removed the flower from
his nose.)
" 'Ave er drink," said Bill.
"With pleasure. I shall take creme de
menthe."
The stillness in the room was very
loud.
"What!" exclaimed Bill.
"Creme de menthe."
"Nobody don't drink that stuff out
here. Barkeep fill 'im up er straight."
"Pardon me, I do not care to indulge."
The young man started for the door.
Bill got before him and reached for
im.
With an awful suddenness the air was
filled with arms, legs, heads and other
things. 2
Citizens of Big Boom City -will tell
their children about It. '
. The very building rocked. x
Then a man got kicked out through
the front door. ,
"If any other man ever refuses ter
drink with me," said Bill, after he had
put his whisky away, "I thall get vexed
an' hurt 'im."
He Loved Her Alone.
She Do you love me for myself
alone ? ' 1
He Of course I do. You don't sup
pose I want your mother around all the

The doctor put up his watch.
The anxiety of many long days and

was with a sigh of infinite relief that
he turned and exclaimed:
"The crisis is past!"
Hurriedly leaving the building, he
took the first car downtown and at fiv

It was as a last resort that he had put

Dont You
Know
That there is nothing to the av
erage conception of humanity
that is more unbecoming than a
bald head? Yet many careless
young men will comb ont a nice
headofbair and be content to
be bald the remainder of their
lives. It is a burning shame.
Would tbey pause for a mom
ent's reflection they might well
know that the crowning beauty
of any person, as? nature so in
tended, is a nice head of hair.
To be otherwise will greatly de
preciate their personal appear
ance and more or less in many
ways effect them both from a
professional and ' social stand
point. ,
Our preparation has been on the
market for years and it does all
we claim for it. We have many
testimonials from parties who
have been bald for years, but
now have a good head of hair
from the use of our Treatment.
One party writes us as follows:

1335 Sherman Avenue, Omaha, and work

tory. On August 1. 1889, I oommeuoed
the use of Pratt's Treatment, being at
that time entirely bald. I have today
as good a head of hair as anyone could
desire. I used six bottles ot the Treat
ment. I can fully recommend it to all
who have lost their hair.
