Cleaning' Windows,
Chamois skin Is excellent for use In
cleaning windows. Hot water would
spoil It. Wash the windows with the
wet chamois skin. Kinse the skin and
squeeze It as dry as you can. Now
wipe the windows again with the damp
skin and leave what moisture remains
on the windows to evaporate. If the
windows are washed every week the
work will lie lessened, for It only will
be necessary to wipe the windows once
with the dampened skin. The skin
must be kept perfectly clean or the
windows will be streaked. To clean
the skin after using It. lay flat on a
table or sink and rub with plenty of
soap and cold water.

One of the very best remedies for

Into thick sllivs. These were laid close
together on the forehead and temples
and kept lu place by covering with a
large handkerchief folded cornerwlse
and tied In the back..
In a short time the pain disap
peared. As the pieces of potato get
hot replace with cold fresh ones. They
give all the coolness of Ice without the
Incidental dampness, and there Is not
the burning sensation ice often causes.
The potato Is distinctly soothing.

CHINA'S WHISTLING PIGEON'S.
Musical Instruments Attached to
Tails of Flrta Birds.
One of the most curious expressions
of emotional life Is the application of
whistles to a flock of pigeons. These
whistles, very light weighing but a
few drams, are attached to the tails
of young pigeons soon after their birth
by means of fine copper wire, so that
when the birds fly the wind blowing
through the whistles sets them vibrat
ing and thus produces an open air con
cert for the Instruments in one and
the same flock are tuned differently.
On a serene day In Pekln, where these
Instruments are manufactured with
great cleverness and ingenuity, it is
possible to enjoy this aerial music
while sitting in one's room, says the
Scientific American.
There are two distinct types of whis
tles those consisting of bamboo tubes
placed side by side, and a type based
on the principle of tubes attached to a
gourd body or wind chest They are
lacquered in yellow, brown, red and
black, to protect the material from the
destructive influences of the atmos
phere. The tube whistles have two,
three or five tubes. In some specimens
the five tubes are made of oxhorn in
stead of bamboo.
The gourd whistles are furnished
with a mouthpiece and small apertures
to the number of two, three, six, ten
and even thirteen. Certain among
them have, besides, a number of bam
boo tubes, some on the principal
mouthpiece, some arranged around it
These varieties are distinguished by
different names. Thus a whistle with
one mouthpiece and ten tubes Is called
"the eleven eyed one."
The explanation of the practice of
this quaint cuBtom which the fchlnese
offer is not very satisfactory. Accord
ing to them these whistles are Intended
to keep the flock together and to pro
tect the pigeons from attacks of birds
of prey. There seems, however, little
reason to believe that a hungry hawk
could be induced by this innocent mu
sic to keep aloof from satisfying his
appetite, and this doubtless savors of
an afterthought which came up long
after the introduction of this usage
through the attempt to give a rational
and practical Interpretation of some
thing that has no rational origin what
ever, for it is not the pigeon that prof
its from this practice, but merely the
human ear, which feasts on the wind
blown tubes and derives aesthetic
pleasure from this music.
The Nose.
The nose, the most conspicuous fea
ture of the human face, has alwayi
been regarded with great Interest from
an esthetic point of view, but it il
within a comparatively recent period
that its importance in the matter ol
health has been recognized.
Its external configuration goes far ta
make or mar beauty of feature, and
considered from the point of view ol
health, its internal conformation is ol
even more significance.
The inside of the nose is divided in
to two compartments by a thin plate ol
bone and cartilage, called the septum.
The outer wall of each of these cavities
has three projecting ledges, formed ol
curved plates of bone covered with
loose membrane containing a great
number of blood-vessels. Opening into
the nasal cavity on each side are sev
eral hollow spaces in the bones of tbi
face, all lined with mucous membram
and containing air.
The nerves of smell are located fn
the mucous membrane which lines th
nostrils, and when inflammation ol
the membrane occurs, as In a cold in
the head, this sense is more or less de
stroyed for the time being.
The most important function of thi
nose Is that of a breathing organ. The
curved plates of bone serve to increase
the surface covered with mucous mem
brane, bo that the air in passing over
it is warmed and moistened, and so
rendered fit to enter the bronchial
tubes and lungs. It is also filtered and .
freed from dust and from the many
disease-germs which it carries. Th
dust and microbes are caught on the
moist surface, and are carried back tu
the entrance of the nostrils in a cup
rent caused by the constant downward
movement of microscopic hair-like pro
jections on the mucous membrane.
This explains In part the evils thai
result from mouth-breathing, for then
the air is neither warmed nor puri
fied, and on entering the bronchial
tubes it causes congestion. This In
turn lessens the resisting power, which
all mucous membranes possess, against
the action of disease-germs.
Catarrhal inflammation, diphtheria,
tuberculosis, and other respiratory dis
eases are much more likely to attack
those who, through habit or necessity,
breathe largely through the mouth.
Obstruction of one nostril, such aa
occurs when the septum projects to
one side or when there are tumors,
called polypi, or other swellings of the
mucous membrane, puts too much work
on the free nostril. Its membrane be
comes congested, and catarrh results.
This obstruction may be only tempo
rary and may right itself, but when It
la permanent It is necessary to remove
it by operation as a measure of proteo
tion to the general heaitu.
