THE WEST SHORE. 68 A LARGE NOSE. 1 XI) so, my fair corresH indent, you Imve nn unduly A jroHiiiiMit now, mid wish to lessen the size of thfit feature, if jxissible? I ma "frnil the evil is beyond Imninii remedy. Expriments with wprin clothes-pins mid compressors rcKiilt only in confiiHion. While nn exaggerated mouth limy lie modified, ami nn expansive fur concealed, (ho nose munt lie left to itself, nuked to the eye of criticism and the teeth of the north wind. But take comfort, A prominent none it not so unlovely a thing on the face of a lady, and Landry bangs and a plenty of Huffy lace around the neck will materinlly aid in canting the unduly prominent feature into nuncio. The pages of history and the rc rein of royal houses ore full of cIccsIh of brave men and triumphs of fair women whose now were as uncompromising as your own. Ca'sar, Charlemagne and NaMileoii, Semiramis, Queen Elizabeth and Catherine of Kussin, all rejoiced in an over-generous nasal prominence. Why should their physical nnti-types of lesser fame and broader culture regret the mark of distinction which Nature has placed incrudieably upon their faces' If fashion is at odds with such a feature, then the wise woman will compel fashion to yield to it, and will avoid the straight-haired, straight-collared order of attire which renders her nose too conspicuous. She is IniuiicI in justice to herself to do this. The fashionable ruge fur imvoly has much to answer fur with regard to the desecration of "the human form divine." It has alternately bleached and blackened the hair, and given to deadly hmm h permanent pluco on the toilet table. It has H.ucey.od the feet, twisted th ankles and prescribed n gait that is half twaddle and all wobble. But ho long as no question is made of introducing the Ix.ard of the Matheads and the foot bandages of China, it may bo as sumed that the nose, whether bulbous, boukish, tip-tilted "sharp as a pen," will bo permitted to remain un U'uehod If y ,,r,.Hm uu (llsy t4 iiUor, eat wholesome lood and ,.X(.rc.se pH-riy, your 1UW(, m ,,,u I"""1 ,,f wt,rry- Whatever its slnq.0 it will be exactly muted to your th,.r features, lim, fme present a perfect harmony of outline.

BE SOMEBODY. rilHE following is from one of It. J. Burdette's lectures: 1 " Be Bomebocty on your own account, my son and don't try to get along on the reputation of your ancestors. Nolwdy knows and nobody cares who Adam's grandfather was, and there is not a man living who can. tell the name of Brigham Young's mother-in-law." The lecturer urged upon his hearers the necessity of keeping up with the every clay procession and not pulling back in the harness. Hard work never was known to kill men; it was the fun that men had in the intervals that killed them. The fact was most people had yet to learn what fun really was. A man might go to Europe and spend a million dollars, and then recall the fact that he had a great deal more fun at a picnic twenty years ago that cost him just sixty-five cents. The theory that the world, owed every man a living was false. Hie world owed a man nothing. There was a living in the world for every man, however, pro vided the man was willing to work for it If he did not work for it somebody else would earn it, and the lazy man would " get left." There were greater opportunities for workers out West than in the Eastern cities, but men who went out West to grow up with the country must do their own growing. There is no browsing allowed in the vigorous West. An energetic man might go out into the far West, and in two or three years possess himself of a bigger house, a bigger yard, a bigger barn and a bigger mortgage than he could obtain by ten years' work in the East. All young men ought to marry, and no young mnn should envy old men or rich men. In conclusion, Mr. Burdotte said that a man should do well whatever he was given to do and not despise drudgery. BEEP JUICE VS. BEEP TEA. pliOF. ROBERTS BARTHOLOW, of the Jefferson I. Medical College, says: "Nothing has been more conclusively shown than that beef tea is not a food. It is nothing more than a stimulant The chemical com jxmition of beef tea closely resembles that of urine, and it is more an excrementitious substnne.fi th n fond. In preparing beef juice the lean part of the beef should be BMc lioil uns should be cut into thick pieces about the size of a lemon squeezer. The piece should be next placed upon a hot coal fire for a moment, to scorch the exterior; the meat is then trrnisforrfirl ttm lamon squeezer, which has been warmed by dipping in hot mm ine juice pressed out and allowed to flow into the glass, which has also h haaA Ti, J,,, in seasoned with a little salt and Cayenne pepper, if the lvmn " Hntl taken immediately.
