The Omaha AS t .' V.-t. I' : "Wipe off the accumulated oil with absorbent cotton." By Mme. Linu r rP you have a well-shaped nose I congratulate you. Such noses are exceedingly rare. If you have a nose that matches the rest of your face instead of looking as though It had been thrown hap hazard among the features, still I congratulate you. Many noses are too large for the faces to which they were assigned, or too small for the faces In which they ore set, or they are straight amidst other flat fea tures, or flat among prominent fea tures. Whatever your nose, treat it with reverential cure, for while you may not be able to make it over you can at least prevent its growing worse.

And ther Is the compensation, It you are a mother, that you can make your baby's nose almost what you will by frequent, gentle pinching of the Important feature. Indeed, you can do a great deal with your own In the same way. When. I said treat your nose with reverential care, I meunt it. Don't blow It violently, for you may de stroy your sense of smell, or may render yourself permanently deaf. Don't dig disgustingly at Its interior, altering its shape, for the nose It chiefly of flesh and cartilage that can be molded especially In your youth as though It were wax. Don't roughly scratch your nose. I have seen women assault that feature us though they were rubbing the rough" head of a shaggy Great Dane or mastiff. Remember, that any rough usage changes the shape of the nose, and never to Its Improvement. Rough usage also causes an extra flow of blood to the nose, and no woman Is pretty while her nose is red. If your nose is showing a tendency to become redder than the rest of your face seek out the cause at once. Assure yourself that you are not la some way Impeding the circulation. Convince yourself that you are not wearlhg your corsets too tight, and that your boota aud hosiery are sufficient ly loose, and your gloves and colUr and garters aro comfort-. able. Look also to your sleeves. The grip of the tight sleeves may cause Mint lantern-like effect you so much dislike, and with reason. If the Circulation is nerfwr irlve pome painstaking thought to your digestion. Does your food ferment Quickly and unduly in the stomach, causing acid and on accumulation of gases? Then that red nose Is a danger tlgnnl. Or have you In testinal indigestion? Reform in the matter of the kinds of food you eat and your manner of chewing It Masticate the food until It dissolves Into a milk-like substance in your mouth before you swallow it. If you squeeze into a glass of water the Juice of half a lemon, drinking several such glasses every morning and evening, you will In a few weeks find your complexion clearing and the redness In your nose diminishing A young girl friend of mine who Is aenemlc suffers from this blemish In an otherwise lovely face. I agreed with her that it was most serious and that tome remedy should be sought, but I advised using the simplest first. "Are not your feet as cold as your hands?" I asked when I had clasped bands with her. She told me that her feet were always cold. I advised her to rub them for ten or fifteen minutes every morning On rising and before retiring and told her to wrap them In a blanket or keep a bag of warmed sand or a hot water bottle at her feet at night. She fol lowed my advice and In a month the redness had vanished. Often redness of the nose Is ac companied by Itching. For this In flamed condition this remedy Is very commonly used In Paris: 8yrup of orange peel, 200 grams. Crystals of phenlc acid, 3 grams Enough glycerin to make BOO grams. Two doses of a, teaapoonful each of this dally clears the features of Its redness In most cases. Hay fever and the less frequent form, rose fever, cause redness of the nose. So do the lesser forms of colds and catarrh. I have found that cold at Its beginning can often be checked by Inhaling aromatlo spirits of ammonia plentifully. The best way Is to close the lips firmly.

How to attain these condi tions so much to be wished Mme. Cava lieri here tells in her usual concise and en tertaining manner. Mme. Cavalieri not only writes some valuable "Don'ts," but also many valuable "Do's." She give9 advice about the red nose, the oily nose, the nose whose pores are enlarged, and the nose that is too broad and Mat. The article includes in structive counsel of special value at this time on the treatment Of colds. ft, ! ' J'' V$1 "Inhaling iodine vapor through a cardboard cone will check a cold, if not too far advanced." other. Do the same with tha oppo site nostril. Keep on alternating. This done frequently should clear the nostrils. The old-fashioned rem edy, spirits of hartshorn, Is excel lent for the same purpose. An other good remedy for the redness of the nose caused by a cold It the old-fashioned one of "greasing" It at night. Rub gently on it vaseline Or mutton tallow or unsalttd butter. A node on which red spots and pimples appear la as unsightly as s nose that Is wholly red. The ten dency to pimples on the note Indi cates the same condition that causes a general distribution of pimples over the face. It Is Indigestion, caused by unwise Indulgence of the appetite, chiefly la highly 'sploed, rich foods. The girl with a blotchy, nose can Improve tier appearance by eating no mors candy nor pastry. Another warning Is one I am loathe to offer the readers of this page, most of whom are women. But I must remind you that the red nose is sometimes the 'sign of In dulgence In alcoholic drinks. No woman was ever handsomer, espe cially In the nasal regions, for drink ing anything stronger than water. Remove first the cause of the red nose. While removing the cause you can reduce the Inflammation by bathing the nose freely In hot water. Apply hot cloths dipped Into hot water to the feature. An outward application of this mixture reduces the redness: Rosewater, 1 ounce. Carbolle aeld, 2 drop. Shake well before using. Apply Amerlcan-txammer.

If thera is a stoppage In the nos trils have it removed by a reliable surgeon. Nothing Is more obnoxious than to hear one'l neighbor breathe as though a small sail were flap ping In the wind. This Is precisely what happens when there Is a polyp or other obstruction in the nostrils. This should be removed, that tha breathing may be perfect, v The body cannot be kept wholesome while the canals by which the new freuh air comes into It, to refresh and upbuild it, are Impeded. Twice a day, In the morning and at night, the nasal passagss should be oleared by sniffing up strong salt water, or a tea made of equal part of tag and eucalyptus, a table spoonful of each to a pint of water. Should the -stoppage of the nos trils be due to a sudden cold In haling the vapor from this will check It If taken In time: Tinctur Iodine, yt ouno. Boiling water, 1 pint. Place the liquid In a bowl.

A nos clamp worn at night makes the nose narrower and more shape- ly if It is inclined to be broad.

They think nothing Of holding up trolley cars, or even railroad trains. Such things have happened recently In several Instances. In the outskirts of Providence the other day, on the Taunton Paw. tucket Street Railway, a niotorman yelled, "What In thunder!" as hit car came to a sliding stop at the foot of a hill, with the power on and the wheels spinning at top speed. Then be saw what was the mat ter.

When this has simmered one and a half hours strain through a cloth. Then pour Into the liquid that re mains the alcohol, the dlssoved Isinglass, the carmine that ha been dissolved In alcohol, and add the perfume. Let cool, then keep In a well stoppered Jar or bottle. Use a piece of cotton or cloth or of absorbent cotton, and dip Into the rouge to tint the cheeks. R L writes: "I read your advice every Sunday with much' Interest and profit. I should l!ke your counsel about my face, .which has a very bad habit of flushing. It gets very red from the least exer tion. The slightest heat brlnrs It on. It Is just the same In Winter as In Summer. What can I da to prevent this bablt which Is ao em barrassing?" Change your diet Perhepi you are a too generous drinker of tea or coffee. Or you may have In dulged a fondness for rich and greasy foods and for spices. Eat more fruit and vegetables. Drink water freely and squeeie .half a lemon now and then Into a glassful ef the water, across the track, which was mad so slippery by their mashed bodies when th wheel passed bver them that th car could not proceed. It was only by sprinkling quantities of and on th rails that traffic was successfully resumed. At Austin, Tex., on the 22d ot Sep tember, a plague of crickets arrived. The Insects descended on'th town In a cloud, covering the streets to a depth of several Inches and block ing street car traffic. Next morn ing they were found plied three and four feet high in the doorways of business houses. Carts bad to be called Into requisition to carry them away. Hold-up ot trains by Insects are by no means so rare as Is commonly Supposed. Probably not a year passes without happenings of 'to kind in one place or asother. Some years ago, dispatches from Charlotte stated that the rail oath Carolina Central were covered With catterptllars In places so deep that for three successive days traffic had been greatly obstructed, th driv ing wheels of th locomotives "slip plug round as If oiled." Engineers wer obliged to empty their sand boxee in order to get across one atrip of swamp where the "worm" were so numerous that the ground bottween the rails' and alongside ot the track was literally heaped with their crushed bodies, an Intolerable stench arising from the mass.' Suspecting exaggeration, the Gov ernment Bureau of Entomology tent one ot it experts, named Cordley, to investigate. lie found th state ment quite true. Th locality wber the caterpillars were most abundant was the Big Swamp, eight miles east of Lnmberton. They wer of th specie known as "tent caterpillars," and had denuded the tree for many miles around ot their leaves. Oddly enough, their extraordinary abund ance seemed to be due to th dig ging of a canal during the previous Winter, which, draining, th swamp, had mad conditions much mora favorable for the reproduction Of th Insects. Western railroads often hav trou bio of this kind with grasshoppers, but la July, 1898, In Eastern Colo rado and Western Kansas It as sumed an aggravated form. For miles the steel rails wer covered with Insects, the crushing of whose bodies tinder the wheels Was de scribed as having the effect of soap. They made th rails ao slippery that the driving wheels simply spun round and round without accom plishing any progress.
