near together aud run in the same gen-
eral direction. The first survey that
will be undertaken is to the great tim-
ber belt of the Sierra Madrr moun-
tains and the other surveys will con-
tinue to be made until the road finally
reaches the cost Oite surveying party
will start at some point iu the moun-

other party as previously stated, will
begin its work at Casas Grandes.
Chief Engineer Bantu staled to a
Times representative that he could
furnish no definite or satisfactory in
formation regarding the proposed linj

Mr. Smith had no difficulty in organ

THE NOSE AND THE TOES.
A Fhjr.iritl Cnltorl.t S*t» Plgrontoed Peo-
ple Have Crooked Noses.
A professor of physical culture an-
nounces that he has discovered an in-
timate connection between deformities
of the nose aud the position of the feet
His name is H. L. Finer, aud he com-
municates his observations to tbe New
Yoik Journal;
“You cun tell a pigeontoed person
without looking at bis feet or seeing
him walk. The discovery was made by
me in 1891 while teaching physical
culture. I found a stubborn awkward-
ness in the movements of my pupils’
feet. Looking for tbe cause, I found
that many of them were pigeontoed.
Iu others one foot was correct and tbe
other turned in.
“Iu teaching correct breathing I had
to investigate the condition of the nasal
passages. Then I toand that wherever
the person was pigeontoed iu tbe right
foot the right nostril was stopped up or
otherwise deformed. It was the same
with the left foot or nostril. If both
nostrils were defective, beth feet were
pigeon toed.
At oue time I examined 26 persons,
and every oue of them was pigeontoed
iu tbe left foot, with a corresponding
defect in tbe left nostril. At another
time I examined over 40 with a view to
testing my discovery. Some of them bad
well developed nostrils aud were not at
all pigeoutoed. Some had overvvide
nostrils, with overwide angles at the
feet to correspond.
“Girls I found more generally and
worse pigeoutoed than boys. The per-
son who Las a whining or suuffiing
voice is usually pigeoutoed.
“Another discovery is that with tbe
defective nostrils were found invariably
stooped shoulders aud hollow chests, the
stoop and hollow always beuring a
direct ratio with the defect. In extreme
cases there was an ugly protrusion of
tbe abdomen, a tendency to draw back
aud upward tbe upper lip, exposing tbe
teeth, that have also an unsightly pro-
truding tendency.
“Tell your frieud to walk from you.
Watch his feet. If the left tnrns in, tell
him that bis left nostril iB smaller than
the right. That is, that he can take
more air atany given inspiration through
the right than through tbe left nostril
alone. If the right foot turns in, tell
him bis right nostril is the smaller.
"Conversely, tell him to place the
end of the thumb under and against the
nostrils alternately, breathing through
the open one each time, aud ask him
which uostril admits the greater amount
of air. If it is the left, tell him bo is
pigeontoed in the right foot and vice
versa. Demonstrate by having him walk
naturally.
“Remember that tbe proper angle is
80 degrees on either side of tho median
line, or 60 degrees with both feet. Do
Dot close the nostril from the side, but
gently from underneath.”
WEIGHTED SILK.
0omettmei» Ninety Ter Cent of the Ma-
terial Is Foreign Substance.
At the present day the practice of
weighting silks by means of astringent
extracts, salts of tin, silicate aud phos-
phate of soda and a variety of other
substances, all more or less injurious to
tho wear of tbe fiber, has reached such
a height that it is seriously affecting
tiro trade. This is especially the case as
regards black silk, but fabrics of other
colors suffer iu tho same manner.
It used to be remarked that a silk
dress or a silk handkerchief would last
a lifetime, aud this is almost true for
absolutely pure silk. But in much of
the fabric sold at the present day there
is not more than 10 or 12 per cent of
real silk, all the rest being extraneous
matter applied to tho fiber in thedeoep
tive process of “weighting.”
Pure silk, when burned, leaves a
quantity of ash which is always consid-
erably less than 1 per cent, but the ash
left by some weighted silks has been
found to amount to us much as 48 per
cont of tho weight of tho fabric.
The extraneous substances to which
we have alluded are caused to adhere to
the fiber by passing the skeins through
hot baths of tannin extracts, tin salts,
salts of iron, antimony, potash, etc.,
and it has been fonnd that when a silk
nineh charged with such substances is
heated it will Dot burn with flame, but
will only smolder away, leaving a very
large amount of ash behind.
But these weighted silks are, how-
ever, of so combustible a nature that
some have been known totakofiro spon-
taneously. a result due to the gradual
decomposition of tbe substances used
ter weighting, and disastrous fires have
been traced to this cause. Spontaneous
combustion is liable to break out more
especially in black silks that aro stored
iu warm, dry places.—Chambers' Jour-
nal.
The NfWest Buttons.
The newest buttons, says a New York
fashion writer, are shown in throe dis-
tinct sizes for the jacket, skirt aud bod-
ice. Many of the smaller buttons are
veritable jewels in their artistic beauty
of color aud design, and many are set,
like actual gems, in low mountings of
cut steel aud silver or pnro gold. Jet,
opal, plomb colored enamel and old
bronze buttons set in riveted points,
framing dainty miniatures, medallions,
etc., are familiar styles, but many of
tho expensive jet and cord passemen-
teries have buttons to match, which are
not intended to have any strain upon
thorn, but merely finish strap ends,
tnock buttonholes on skirt fronts, etc.
When used npon the bodice, they are
generally fastened on the outside or very
often in tbe center of handsomo jewel
trimmings en applique, tbe bodice clos-
ing with strong hooks and eyes sot npon
a fly underneath.

WASHING POWDER
MADAM rllUKORY.
Fit theme for gone the sylvan maid
Who, if t-he know not faunc or satyr*,
Had conjured oft in mossy shade
Visions of savage paleface hat era!
I trow she dined on pork and.maize
In cabin single roomed and sooted,
Quito innocent of frills and stays,
Warm hearted and l»ar< tooted.
Her bemitv surely brought her note.
Perchance the frankness of he r manner* :
Go«*ip o’er racy tales did gloat
To prove her scruples not Diana’s.
But when tho hero husband came
Ho crushed the scandal pests like vermin.
A terror hedged tho hcrc.\ name.
And ahe was white ns « rmim .
Thenceforth, a matron fair-and fat.
She shared the doting hero’s station.
Thais with Alexander sat
And heard the plaudits of a nation.
What though small son I*, with furtive leer, 1
Revived old rumors of di.*honor V
Tho hero held her yet more dear-
And stainless as Madonna.
Weary of fortune’s smih and frown,
She died without the White House portal.
But never wife wore richer clown,
A hero’s troth and love immortal.
That love had made a queen of her
Whom haughty dames turned prudish
hacks on,
And history smiles, but has no slur
For Mistress Andrew Jackson.

n Enigma Which Broke lip the Ad-
swera to Correspondents Editor.
“Mister. (In yon write the‘Answer#
to Correspondents’ for this paper?” asked !
tbe stranger with tho despondent coun-
tenance as he leaned across the desk
and heaved a rye tinged sigh through
the atmosphere. j
"Yes, sir. Wbnt can 1 do for you?”
“Can you answer a little question of j
relationship?”
“Give mo the facts, and I’ll try.'' j
“Here you are: When I was a baby,
my mother, a widow, married the
brother of my father’s first wife. Ho ]
was my uncle, of course, but that made
him my father, didn’t it?”
“Your stepfather, you mean.”
“Yes. Well, mother got a divorce
from my uncle-father, and then she
married the oldest son of my father’s
first wife. He was my half brother,
wasn’t he, and also my stepfather,
wasn’t he?"
“It looks as if he was. "
“That made mother my half sister,
didn’t it?”
“I—I—I guess it did.”
“That’s what I thought. Well, you
see, my uncle-father had a daughter be-
fore he married mother. She was my
half sister, too, wasn’t she?'
“I—I—I—I guess she was. ”
“That’s tho way I put it up. Next
thing was my mother got a divorce from
my brother-father, and he—my hall
brother, you know—married my hail
sister. That made her a kind of st., p-
mother of mine, didn't it?”
“I—I—I”—
"Well, never mind answering yet.
My half-brother-stepfather died, and
now my half-sister-stepmother and J
want to get married, but we can’t fig-
ure out if we can without being arrest-
ed for some kind of thingamy. We don’t
want to have our tiro punctured just as
we get to scorching on tbe matrimonial
tandem. Wbat I want you to tell mo is
what is my relationship to my brother,
my uncle, my stepfathers, my half sis-
ters, my mother, rnv half brother, my
stepmother and myself, aud if I can
marry her without—why, what’s tho
matter?"
