One of the most brilliant essays on nasology is the one which classes noses not by origin, but by mentality. The aquiline nose, for example, is the sign of goodness, amiability and weakness. By that nose Louis XVI. was led to the direst catastrophies. Let us have commiseration for the nose that is very slightly prominent. It is the muzzle of a sheep and belongs to people who are easily deceived. Distrust the nose with the medium part elongated. That elongation marks the extent of desires and the insatiability of appetites. Look out also for the ferret nose, with its sharp point, always on the scent for secrets. It is the nose of the inquisitor. The devil-may-care nose is slightly turned up at the end. It denotes a character without firmness. Hut when you see a nose that rises from the depths of the orbits and stands out in hold relief take off your hat. You are in the presence of the nose of a think er.—Toronto Mail. lira in Work mi<] I<oi>ffevlty. inn lecture on longevity delivered before the Itoyal College of Physicians Sir Hermann Weber, himself an octo genarian, gave official Support to the doctrine that brain work does not kill, but rather the reverse. A few of his Instances were Sophocles, Plato, Galen, 112 icero, Moltke, Hisniarek. Mommsen und Gladstone, to whom we might add Ilobbes, Carlyle, Spencer and Kelvin. J he facts are that brain work increases the supply of blood to the nerve cells find promotes their nutrition and health. Mosso, an Italian, laid a man in a delicately balanced table and showed that the head end sank when ever the subject did a mental sum or fuiy other brain work. The increased weight of his head was due to the life ariving blood. The truth is that brain tvork, as such, never killed anybody.— London Chronicle. I'fncc it 11 <1 UODCI. A writer in a London newspaper says: '"The other day I heard an Eng lishman defending our system of eoin ige on the ground that we are the only nation on earth who can say that the system is bone of our bone. For there ire 240 bones in the body and 2-1(1 lence in the pound; there are 120 bones n the head and trunk and 120 in the limbs and 120 pence in half a sover eign; each limb contains 30 bones, and i half crown contains ;in pence; in the spinal column there are 24 bones and in a florin 24 pence, and as we have 12 ribs on eaeli side, so we have 12 pence in every shilling. See how the proportions of tlie skeleton of our com merce conform to nature's teaching. N'o wonder it is vigorous." The Candle Sut. The candle nut is a native of the Pa cific islands, and the name is derived from the fact that the kernels are so full of oil that when dried they are stuck on reeds and used as candles. I'he people of Hawaii, after having roasted these nuts and removed the ■shells, reduce the kernels to a paste, iv hi eh is flavored with pepper and salt and is said to be a most appetizing lisli.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY ,8, 1904. Ail Oltl Hunter'* Advice. Here is the advice an old liunler Rives to those who may eotne in un expected contact with had animals: "If you are cornon I by a snake stand motionless and he will never bite. "if a vicious dog attacks you show him a knife or some similar instru ment, and he will keep out of reach. A dog can never learn the deadlines* of a revolver or a gun, but unless lie has the rabies he knows how to re •pect a knife. "If a swarm of wild bees attacks you stand motionless and let out all your breath. Then only a few of the swarm will sting." This advice should be reversed at sea. A man who is swimming In shark Infested waters Is safe as long as he kicks about and makes a great deal of noise. The shark is too timid to ap proach anything that looks as if it meant to light. "What would you do in ease you were cornered by a cinnamon bear?" some one asked the old hunter. "Say my prayers," he answered la conically. They All Saw It More. Mrs. Burton, with her husband, Sir Richard Hurton, the famous traveler, and two ladies, had driven out of Triest to a village dance and were sit ting in the carriage listening to the band. In telling of it she said: Suddenly, at the top of a roof, I caught sight of a rat, which appeared to me to be spellbound by the music. "Look!" I said. "Don't move, but watch that rat fascinated by the mu sic." So we all sal and watched it and thought it most interesting that rats should be susceptible to music like liz ards and snakes. We all saw it move. We all saw its head turn and its tail move, and we kept still, not to frighten it away. The next day. feeling so much interested in the affair, we sent lo Inquire about it. The rat, it turned out, was made of painted tin and fixed to the top of the house. So much for imagination. A Siihliatitrliiii. A Canadian university man is enliv ening his home circle with the follow ing story: lie was touring in Scotland last summer. One Sunday morning he put his little hammer in his pocket (he is an amateur geologist) and, strolling out upon the hills, began to chip off such specimens of rock as interested him. A native passing by looked on with a frown. "Sir," he said, "do ye ken yer breakin' more than stones there?" "Breakin" the Sabbath, eh?" said the young Canadian, with a laugh, and, to appease the Scot, he put away the hammer and walked a little way with him. A turn of the road revealed the ruins of a castle. "What castle is that?" said the stranger. "It's noo the day,"was the severe reply, "to be speirin' sic things."—London Outlook. A Tree Tlint (iron* Dlxltes. There is a tree In the West Indies that the natives say "grows dishes!" It looks like an apple tree. They cull it the calabash. It bears very queer leaves and large white blossoms that grow right from the trunk and larger branches. After the flower comes the fruit, just as our apples or peaches do. But this fruit is in the shape of a gourd, only stronger and much larger, sometimes a foot in diameter. Now, see what a use the people of that country make of this fruit. The shell is so hard that all sorts of big and little dishes and drinking cups can be carved out of it. Even pots and kettles are made and used over the fire, but of course they cannot last as long as our iron ones. Fetched 'Km. "Hello, Miggles! llow are you get ting along with that suit of yours against the railroad on account of per sonal injuries?" "I brought 'em to time, old man. I brought 'em to time!" "What! Did you get the $50,000 you sued for?" "No; wo sort o' —er —compromised on the amount. They offered me $250 cash, and I took 'em up so blamed quick it made their heads swim. I got it, too, by George!"— Chicago Tribune. What It IN That Win*. A country woman remarked to her neighbor during a conversation on theii return from market, "llow is it, Mary, that you have been married four times, and I've never been married at all, and I'm much handsomer than you?" "Aye, to be sure," returned Mary, "but it ain't handsomeness that does it, Sarah. It's the 'come hither' in your eye." Illril miration. After years of study devoted to the topic Professor Alfred Newton. of Cam bridge stated that without doubt bird migration is the greatest mystery In tin entire animal kingdom, "a mystery."

This Is not because Bibles are worthless to a thief, but because few criminals are suHiciently depraved to steal I lie gooil book. A detective said recently that in an important ca.s which lie had followed up some years ago a thief had entered the house, stolen some valuable jewels and left untouched a Bible bound in white chicken skin and studded with pearls. The detective caught the thief, and the man who had been robbed, a dealer in curios, visited his despoller In jail, took an interest in him because lie had not taken the Bible and eventually reform ed him and got him a good Job. "I knew," the thief said, "that if I took that Bible it would do me harm and if 1 didn't take it it might do me |ood. I let it alone, and now, thank heaven, I'm an honest and a righteous man." The detective added that in another case where a thief had stolen a Bible j the book had been returned. "Another thing few thieves will take," he added, "Is a child's savings bank."—Chicago Tribune. The I Nt'ful Sunflower. It is a common joke to call inferior cigars "cabbage leaves," but, as a mat ter of fact, some very gooil "weeds" are made from the leaves of the sunflower. These leaves can also be smoked in the place of tobacco, forming quite a passa ble substitute. The stalks and leaves make excellent food for various animals, while the for mer can also be employed as fuel. Sun flower cake is made from the seeds of this useful plant after the oil has been extracted, this oil being very nearly equal to olive oil and used in cooking. The seeds not only serve as food for cattle; they are mashed and kneaded into bread by the poor peasants of cer tain parts of Russia, and they And it very palatable. I'otash is obtained from the ash of the stalks. The proportion is about one-third of potash to the total ash left after burning. A yellow dye is made from the flower of the plant. The fiber can be worked into a silk mate rial. When Two it 11 i n Ikmvm Are Seen. \\ hen two rainbows are sometimes seen at once, one outside the other, the inner or primary bow, as it is called, is always the brighter, and the red band of color is always 011 its outside. The outer or secondary bow* is much fainter in color, and the red band is always 011 its inside. This is because in the primary bow the sun's rays arc only reflected once, while in tin? sec ondary bow they are reflected twice, which makes them fainter in color and turns them upside down. In one rain bow we see the rays of the sun enter ing the raindrops at the top and re flected to the eye from the bottom, while in the other we see the rays en tering the raindrops at the bottom and reflected from the top, whence they reach the eye. The Veil In I'erniu. J. L>. Kees, a lecturer on Persia, says that the veils worn by Persian ladies are more of a privilege than a punish ment. Screened behind it woman may walk wherever she pleases, and even her own husband dare not question her movements. Doubtless many Persian ladies make the most of their opportu nities. The Persians, as a rule, do not think it right to take wine, but as near ly all their poetry is in praise of the flowing bowl it will be inferred that they frequently do violence to their conscience. (H casionally, however, they are seized with remorse, whereupon they destroy the wine of their Arme nian neighbors. I'utviiiiiK Hive* Sln <j UnnelitcrN. They have a curious way of utilizing wives and daughters in some parts ot India. If a man wants money lie puts these members of his establishment in pawn, and his creditor detains tlieni until the debt is discharged. The cus tom varies in different localities. In Mellore the Yercalls pledge their daugh ters to creditors who may either marry them or give them away, and a man who has togo to jail deposits his wife with another family of her tribe until his return. In North Areot unmarried daughters are frequently mortgaged and become the absolute property of the holder until liquidation. Kafty Hen<llll k For Infanta. He proposed, conjointly with his fa ther and brother, to blast the stone as the most expeditious mode of gaining access to her arcana, and this in the open daylight, in order that any tute lary protection she might be disposed to extend to her favorite haunt might, as she was a thing of darkness and night, be effectually countervailed.— Extract From Child's Fairy Book.
