00EEE0TING DEFECTS OF THE
NOSE AITD EAE.
A Beautiful Nose Is a
Ornament Perfect
Ears.
Great
(Copyright, 1895, by Diane dc Homey.)
The most perfectly modelled nose is a
trial, if It has the habit of getting spotty,
or turning red, with or without apparent
revocation. I do not know of anything
more vexatiou Slo womankind than a red,
blotchy, or shining nose. Usually, atlhough
it is difficult to impress the fact upon the
afflicted woman, red or blotchy hoses are
the result of some excoss or carelessness,
often aggravated until there iB a well-defined
malady which must be cured beforo
the blush will fade or the eruption disap
pear. Acidity of the stomach, indigestion,
dyspepsia, poor circulation, all mean more
or less congestion, and frequently the
blotchy or fiery nose is the outward sign
of an inward stomach derangement. Acid
ity of the stomach is very disagreeable to
bear, and destructive in its effects upon the
complexion. In its early stages, it may
often be controlled by tho folio wig:
Half teaspoonful of f-ulphate of soda,
Djs&olvc in half a tumbler of boiling hot
water; drink as hot as you can one hour
before breakfast; repeat the dose in thirty
minutes.
Pure water, drank as hot as possible, sev
eral glasses a day, will often, without med
icine at all, cure this form of Indigestion.
Tight lacing tight clothing of auy kind
any stricture, in fact, will some time pro
duce red or blotchy nose, and It seems su
perfluous to advise an inch or two to the
waist measure, or looeer shoes to the suf
ferer. Local irritation will aleo cause in
flamed nostrils , and, of course, the influenza,
rose fever and that hideous epidemic
called hay fever have their accompaniment
of weeping, inflamed noses and eyes.
Change of climate, it is conceded, is the only
escape from this yearly martyrdom, but
I have seen wonderful effects produced in
cases of chronic rose and hay fever by tho
use of compound oxygen taken through a
carafe of carbonated water.
Sometimes Intense itching of the nose
is caused by internal trouble, which ac
cording to Dr. Augagnem, a well-known
French dermatologist, may frequently bo
cured by the following:
SYRUP FOR REDNESS AND ITCHING
OF THE SKIN.
Phenic acid (crystals) 5 grammes.
Pure glycerine enough to dissolve.
Syrup of orange peel 400 grammes.
Dose for an adult, one teaspoonful twice
daily.
Tins same prescription with the phenic
acid diminished to three grammes is, ac
cording to Augagnem, excellent for pruri
tus or eczema in children.
Let my readers who are troubled with
poor circulation and red noses try the fol
lowing most successful and agreeable treat
ment. It consists of what the French call
an aromatic bath, with massage after.
FOK AROMATIC BATH.
Rosemary tops 1,000 grammes.
Boiling water 10 quarts.
Bicarbonate of soda 250 grammes.
Make an infusion of the leaves and boil
ing water; let stand half an hour; strain;
add the soda, and pour all into the warm
water prepared for the bath. This batli is
a calamativc. It should be taken warm.
Shiny, oily noses may be often cured by
battling the entire face daily with a weak
solution of soda water. Use common wash
ing soda a bit about the size of a filbert
to, say, a quart of warm water. The circu
lation is always at fault In these cases, and
sensible women who have troublesome
noses are asked to take plenty of fresh air
and exercise and eschew all highly spiced
food. Use your scrubbing brushes on re
fractory noses. It will make them redder
for a few days, but it will help In their
cure finally.
POSSIBILITY OF RESHAPING A NOSE.
I have received a letter from a reader
of the "Beauty Talks," which it is pertinent
to refer to. She sajs: "I am a very good
looking woman, orshould be, but about fif
teen years ago, when I was a little girl of
ten, I fell while skating and broke my nose.
It was not properly set, and it is now
nlmost a deformity. I am assured it can
be made straight, but I would like you to
tell me honestly if you think it really can
be made over into a nice nose." I certainly
do, for I have seen the operation per
formed, but for all such operations you
should carcrully select an expert surgeon.
Consult your family physician, who will
very likely tell you to let well enough
alone. Insist that it is not well enough
until it is as straight as it can be made,
and get him to tell you the name of the
most skillful surgeon within your reach.
Crooked noses can unquestionably be made
straight even after maturity, and in early
childhood, owing to the soft nature of the
cartilages that form tluMiostnls, the shape
of the lower part of tho nose may be
mucli improved by gentle daily pressure.
A beautiful nose is the greatest possible
ornament to the face of a woman, and so
raro that it excites tho admiration at
once. Lavater, tho physiognomist, de
clared that there were thousands of
beautiful eyes to one handsome nose. It
is a somewhat singular fact that only
about three in every hundred noses are
to be found where they belong in the
middle of the face; tho ninety-seven will
digress from the perpendicular line which
tho bridge should form from a straight
lino drawn exactly between the eyes.
The Greek nose, which is the most beauti
ful, is so rare that artists have frequently
looked in vain for a Greek-nosed model.
AN AMUSING EXPERIENCE.
I was crossing the ocean somo years ago
and could not but remark the curious
manner In which one of tho passengers
appeared to follow a lady acquaintance
who sat near me at table. The man was
finally presented to me as Mr. Blank, a
distinguished foreign painter. About forty
seconds after he had been introduced to
mo he said: "Madame, could you present
mo to your friend? I havo never seen
such a nose on a woman's face. I would
give a year of my life for a model with
such a noso. I have not been able to take
my eyes from madame's face since she
came on board the ship."
It was true; the lady did have a beauti
ful Greek nose, and the stranger's pecu
liar manner arose from tho ardor of the
artist who had never before, he assured
us, sre.n a perfect nose of Greek form. I
presented the painter to the lady, and the
remainder of tho voyage lie amused us all
by bis evident adoration of tho perfect
nose.
"We cannot all have Greek noses, but the
coining generation need none of them have
pug noses or turned-ups. Daily caro In
childhood, pressing the pugnacious fea
ture into shape, pulling it gently down
will lengthen and straighten it. A pug
nose is amusing in a child, or even piquant
in a young girl, but a middle-aged woman
an old woman with a pug or turncd-up
noso is far from attractive. Do not let us
have any more of them.
TREATING RED VEINS.
Red veins, which are seen frequenUy on
the nose may be arrested by great abstemi
ousness and care not to expose the skin
to sudden changes of temperature. I have
never seen an actual cure of a well-defined
case of Telangiectasis , w hlchis the technical
name for red veins. Persons suffering
from this disfiguring blemish should never
touch alcohol in any form. To resort to
the knife or electricity is not only very dan
gerous, but, as I have said, so rarely
successful. I know of no authentic case
where red veins have been removed orcured.
Breeding at the nose, when not caused
by a blow or other violence, will usually
cease of itself in a short time, as it
Is frequently an effort of nature to relieve
the congested vessels. When it becomes
persistent, or Jh excessive, the simplest
and most effective means of arresting It
is to make a probe of a slender lead pencil
or anything of like form, and introduce
by this means a smull bit of soft .cotton
previously dipped in a, mild solution of
alum, creosote, strong fiiack tea or even
cold water. Should this not succeed a
little of one of these liquids may be
snuffed up the nostrils, or a small piece
of ice is placed In the one from which the
blood flows. " "
THE PERFECT EAR.
Tho perfect ear Hhiulddie about twice as
long as hroad, and Mioiild bo attached to
the head almost straight) or slightly inclin
ed backwards, and tiipuid touch the head
with tho back of Jtd upper point. The
critical observer will find very few perfect
cars. Mothers and nijrses are greatly to
blame for the almost deformed ear -we con
stantly sec on our young people. There is
nothing gives a lad eo uncouth an appear
ance as wide, projecting ears, and although
a girl can dress her hair to somewhat les
sen the ugly deformity, as long as the ears
etand out from the head, they are a great
blemish. There is no need to have re
course to a surgeon to effect a cure in out
standing cars. A simple bandage worn at
night, which Iiolds them flat to the head,
is all that is necessary. There is some tort
of a patent skeleton cap, I believe, which
has the fame purpose in view, and is more
comfortable to wear, particularly in warm
weather. The ear contains no bones, and
is for this reason easily trained.
ABJURE EAR RINGS.
Tho reprehensible practice of piercing the
earc is traceable to remote antiquity. I
am oppoEed to it, not from an aesthetic
point of view alone, though I think any
mutilation or the fleeh abomluabJe; but
piercing the eara is not always a simple
and harmless operation. It. has been
known, when clumsily performed, to devel
op erysipelas and abcesses of a most pain
ful and eometlmcs dangerous character.
Eczema of the ear is a common ailment
and a most disagreeable oue. Indeed, all
maladies of the external car are peculiarly
offensive. Thcsuffererfromeczema&hould
never eat pork In any form. Shell-fish will
frequently produce au attack of eczema,
and where such is the case, must be ab
stained from. AVomen Biibject to eczema
should eat quantities of fruits, salads, par
ticularly dandelion and water-cress; tliey
should take frequent warm, calmative baths
and above all they should not get either
chilled or over-heated. For a local appli
cation a weak solution of carbolic acid is
healing and agreeable, or a few drops of
Llfitenne diluted with water will allay the
fearful itching of eczema of the ear.
'OLD CLO'ES TO" SAVE.
Let me be a household Herrickand warn,
not maids, but young matrons, "gather ye
ragbags while ye may."
Naturally the home builders incline
most to pretty things. Whohas not rebelled
at sight of the sparkling temptation of
fine glass, or the biiowy invitation of satiny
table damask, against investing in "homely
kitchen things?" But the homely things
prove their clalmsaud enforce my warning.
Better still than a rag bag is a spare shelf
in closetor wardrobe, which shallantlcipate
a division in one's own linen closet. Store
there such double sheets as may bo drawn
from a maternal supply.ondsuch aswear be
yond the making into single or crib sheets,
forthere willbe ironing-boards tocover, dust
cloths to be hemmed and cloths for the first
washing of windows Ipdeed the maw of
window wasbingset'ins Well-nigh insatiable.
Then, in sickness, oljl sheets furahdi band
ages.atsopadstoprotdcttreshbedeoverings. Save cast-off pillow sliajns and worn stair
crash, thorougly cleaned, cuts up excellently
for scouring kitchen floors, pots and pans.
Even coarse bagging snved from parcel
wrappings and bale (fivers find its sphere
or usefulness. The g6od pieces out of once
handsome4, table clothf make everyday tray
covera and napkins for picnics and outings,
as well as neat squares to lay under little
plates where there are small folk who ap
pear at the family table. Such squares are
much more Inviting-looking than the trays
or waiters orten apifropriated for the use
of the "tots." Apropos of children, old
table damask makes oft bibs to be used in
sickness to keep little gowns free of food
or medicine, and may be put into the fire
when soiled. c to 5,'; 4 e
Theusesd'foldflannclareslmplymanifold,
either In polishing or for the household dis
pensary, and thee should find a conspicuous
place. Remnants of old linen, rrom tat
tered handkerchiefs for cut fingers to cast
off linen underclothes. Old night clothes
are far preferable in illness, and iu case of
emergency may be torn off
Even bearing In mind the injunction
regarding one's neighbor without a coat,
the careful house-mother keeps several s.ets
of worn garments that may be cast off when
the family is about to start upon a journey,
thus doing away, as much as possible, with
the transportation of soiled linen. So a
rag bag or a rag shelf, like many another
homely thing, is by no means to be despised,
nor are all "old clothes" to be disposed of
as ignoble.
JANET HOPE MARR. '
A .NOVEL OTJTLXG.
Wonltliy TTe-sterner to Fit TJp a
Ferryboat and Entertain Friends.
A wealthy westerner, who is staying at
one of the principal hotels in this city, is
preparing a delightful surprise for his
friends in the west and in this city, says
the New i'ork Recorder. It is nothing less
than a two-weeks' trip up and down the
nudson on a ferryboat chartered for the
purpose. j
But before the "double-ender" is used
for this purpose it will be temporarily
transformed into a very dream of a house
boat. The plans for the transformation
arenowbeingmade.
The party will consist of forty persons,
exclusively of the cooks, waiters, servants
and musicians.
The lower deck, where the horses usually
stand, will be planed and waxed, so that
it can be used for dancing iu the evening-.
One end of the ladies' cabin will be divided
off by partitions to form sleeping apart
ments for the ladies, and the other end
will be fitted up as a reception room,
with matting on the floor, light draperies
at the ctoors and windows, and cool bam
boo chairs, lounges and tables. The-mcn's
cabin will have sleeping rooms similar to
those on the other side of the boat, and
also a billiard table, smoking chairs, lounges
and card tables.
The kitchen will be between the wheel
houses and the walking beam, and the men
servants and musicians will sleep there,
too.
One of the best cooks in the city is to be
employed as chef and he will be assisted
by helpers of his own choosing.
The tables will be set, when the weather
is clear, on the bow or stern of the boat,
undqr awnings, aud in caseof wet weather,
in the spaces on either side of the engine
room.
No itinerary has been made out, but the
trip will be so arrapged as to put in at
various points whej-e the boat may be
reached by train from the city, and guests
will be invited to special "hops" on these
occasions. , ,

A Famous Coolt.
The fattening of poultry has been madcthe
subject of special attention by M. Josephs,
the great chef, who has started a restaurant
in Pans. The poultry that he uses are fed
according to his own direcloins. They are
first alio wed a run of 200 j ards, a few days
after thi3 4s curtailed to 175 yards, and
then reduced daily until the poultry are"
confined in boxes. Beautiful, plump, and
fat they then are and ready for the crowned
heads who honor his establishment.
To see Josephs carve one of these birds
is a revelation. He holds It in mid-air on a
fork. With his knife ho dexterously skims
around the wings and legs, and before it
is possible to say "Jack Robinson" every
portion of the bird is carved and ready to
be served.
One -young officer of the guards is so
fascinated with the cuisine at M. Josephs'
establishment in Paris that every Satur
day he starts from London, dines there, and
returns by tile next train. This is the most
expensive meal on record. Exchange.

A MODERN FAD FOR MIDSUM
MER WATER AMUSEMENT.
There Is a Company "Which Turns
Out House Boats by the
Dozen.
The next best thing to building a summer
cottage is to build a house boat. To be
sure the boat will cost almost as much as
the cottage, bu t then it has this great ad
vantager in its favor that it can be moved
aboutr at will.
Aboard a boat If you find yourself in the
neighhorhoodormalaria.mosquitoesand un
pleasant neighbors, you give the command
to move on to another and more desirable
quarter, or you can spend the winters in
Florida "waters, as the Lorillards do on
their house boat, and the summers on the
St. Lawrence.
It is among the Thousand Islands that
the houseboat flourishes in all the glory of
fresli paint, gay awnings, pretty cretonnes,
lace curtains, hammocks, rugs; banjos,
afternoon teas and moonlight fetes, to say

the right companion, what can be more
charming than to pull upstream, to where
the river flows quietly singing its own song
past green banks and under leafy trees.
There are the luncheons, too, dove lunch
eons in sky blue or sea green and the visits
to other house boats, the teas and the small
talk and the music which has charms even
when squeezed from a gasping concertina or
twanged from a banjo.
REGULATING EXPENSES.
It one has not yet acquired a house
boat, nor had oae thrust upon him, there
are two methods by which "the long-felt
want" Can be supplied.
A company has lately been formed for
building this craft, and for a consideration
($1,800 to S2.0C0) one can become pos
sessed of a house-boat all one's own to
have and to hold for years or forever.
The other way to become possessed of a
boat, but only temporarily, which may be
more desirable, on some accounts, Is to
rent one, say, for a month. For a party
of eight or ten it is a most Inexpensive
way of getting a pleasant outing.
On the St. Lawrence house-boats rent
for about S10 a day. This, divided
among eight or ten people, amounts to a
mere trifle, which one would willingly
give in exchange for the rare fun ot house
boating. The $10 pays for the boat, which, is
fully furnished, and for the services of
a master. The housekeeping and other
expenses are not included.
The duty ot the master is to look after
the boat and keep it clean and tidy and
wait on the party if he has any spare
time. In addition, a man or maid servant
is quite necessary.
THE BOAT AND FURNISHINGS.
The house-boat is a shallow scow so
far as the shape of the hull goes, nearly
square at bow and stern, and surmounted
by a more or less sightly structure in the
nature of a house. There is a main deck,
which affords living accommodations.
Above this Is the hurricane deck, gener-

ous In Its proportions. It Is covered over
head with an awning, as ic Is the general
reception aud living and lounging room.
The dimensions of the average house
boat arc about sixty feet tons by eighteen
feet wide. There to a saloon, dining
room, kitchen, staterooms, with doaWo
beds, store and servants rooms, refrig
erator, and cooking stove in Tact, all
the comforts ot a home, together with a
filter, which is absolutely Indispensable.
An oil stove, too. Is a great convenience,
and, of course, a chafing dish.
The necessary accompaniment of house
boating, in which, indeed, 1kw roiKh of the
pleasure of the outing, is the boating. One
can use every sort of river boat, from an
electric launch to an Indian ranee, but
the greatest exeitement of all te to be bad
out of a punt. A punt is a craft, as some
one wisely says, that requires craftiness.
It is a boat in which to feel foottsh in
fact, at first, you cannot regulate your
movements at all. You live in a. perfectly
blissful uncertainty of what is going to
happen next.
However, in time, one learns the art and
then the punt Is always as gayly decorated
as the house boat with white Alargnerites
at bow and stern, and yellow silfe ewsbkms.
TTVO FAIR HOUSE BOATERS.
Two New York girls, the Misses May and
EUa Dewey, are the happy owners of a
charming house boat, the Idler, they call
it, and it is In commission all summer. It
is a white and yellow craft with pretty
lace curtains at the windows, tied back
with yellow ribbons. All along the edge
of the roof are flower-boxes painted yellow.
full of flowers alternating with big yellow
pots, also filled with plants "all a-bIowInr
and a-growm."
Apropos to the color for a house boat,
one all white is too suggestive of a half
pamted house before the color te pmt on.
Pink isn't half bad, nor even green. In
deed a house boat all done in green and
white from the paint to the teacups. Is
charming to a degree, with altttte dash ot
pink introduced here and there.
One ot the most expensive ot houseboats
Is that belonging to Mr. George Pullman.
It Is almost as richly furnished as his
cottage, " Castle Rest," on the St. La wrence:
be calls it his nautical villa, for want or a
better name.
A picturesque name for one's house boat
is quite an important consideration. Nydia,
River God. Bohemia, and Amaryllis are
fairly appropriate. Axcady might suit
one's faney. or Hiawatha, while Merrlvale
is not bad, nor Mavis; these are both name3
of two very swell boats, indeed, so are Reve
d'Or and Summerholme. Ye YTape is the
name in which one boat rejoices, while
Princess and Swallow are chosen for
pothers. DIANACROSS-WAIS.
