TOMATO-NOSED JANE.
Tho newspapers of tho country are repub
lishing everywhere an item from a New
York journal concerning a Philadelphia
girl with a queer nose. This noso is de
scribed as tlio exact counterpart in form of
a large tomato aud as of a bright red color.
The girl is pretty, with the exception of this
feature, but her horror of her owu face is
such that her mother says eho has not
looked in tho glass for einht years. The
mother of this astonishing young lady ac
counts for tho fact a. follows: "My Jane
was bom," she says, "in Sopttinber, and wo
then lived on a tomato farm in New Jer
sey. We had a litlle canning establish
ment on our place, and all that season wo
did nothing but can and can tomatoes. I
peeled and peeled and cut and cut toma
toes, till I was just sick of tho sight of
them red things. Then toward the latter part
of tho summer a big bushel basket of toma
toes fell down on me oil a shelf where we
used to stack them, and nearly scear'd me
to death. And then, when my Jane was
burn, she had that strange red nose shaped
like a tomato." And this is the item the
newspapers of the country are republishing
so generally.
We must confess that wo see nothing in
thin story of a tomato-nosed Philadelphia
girl to command the attention the editors of
this broad land are bestowing upon it. A
girl with an astonishing nose is not such a
great curiosity in Chicago she- would be
no curiosity at all -and a nose shaped like
a tomato 1W rorfninly nnf . una, v.ln.;vn.
ly speaking. Suppose that instead of can
ning tomatoes that Philadelphia girl's
mother had been engaged in making
cheese, then there would have been some
thing to talk about. Just imagino a pretty
girl with a 35 pound cheese for a nose ! Or,
if the mother had been churning milk,
what Bort of a Suly nose would a roll of
butter make? Then, too, there would have
been something to talk about.
As for the color of the nose, which is at
tracting so much attention, that 13 even less
of a novel feature th m it i'.inii. Red noses
are not such raro objects anywhere now-a
days, especially among tho men. In Cin
cinnati they aro tho fashionable thing; in
St. Louis they are not uncommon, aud even
in Cairo they are frequently met with.
Everybody knows them. Their mothers
must have been engaged in canning lob
sters steadily for mouths before the sons
were boru. Really, tho more wo think
about it' tho less we see in that item about
tho tomato-nosed Philadelphia girl. There's
nothing in it.
To Consumptives,

"True as you're here," said tho first
engineer. Pd introduceyoutotho pray
ing firemen, but they cut the business
after that run, and I kinder lost sight
of 'em. Well, wo got within ten miles
of Philadelphia and I begun to stop
her."
"Stop her?"
"Yes; I knew I couldn't do it inside
0' ten miles, und I didn't quite fetch it
at that; for when we ran into the station
wo smashed in the bumpers and lipped
up about twenty feet o' tho platform be
fore old long-legged Jim would ngreo
thirun wiw over, but I got tho cheek,"
und the Yankee engineer thoughtfully
drained his glass, as his friend ordered
the barkeeper to "set 'em up again."

naturalness and debasing effect of such
a life, tho "accidents" towbich even tho
best-trained and most experienced per
formers aro liable aro too frequent and
of too sad a kind to bo generally known.
It is for the showman's interest to keep
them secret.
When a "great show" recently carao
to tho city of Brooklyn, a family group
of three persons sat down together in
tho breakfast-ton t They wuro acrobats,
of unsurpassed agility and skill. A sad
faced woman, a young man of middle
size, a girl just entering her teens.
There had been four of tbom prior to
a reeent performance, but tho "star,"
an elder girl, tho most daring of them
all, had "missed her motion" in a feat
of uncommon peril, and had fallen upon
tho receiving-net,
"Sho wan but slightly injured," all
were told who eared or thought to ask,1
but tho little group at tho table knew
that sho w;ts dying.

much more weight than usual to carry,
but when the evening exhibition was
over, there were indeed, but three of
them. Tho fourth had gone forever.
