Faces Altered While You Wait

NO MOEE FAULTY NOSES OK HOLLOW CHEEKS. Operations for the correction of deformi ties of the noee have been practised for years. These operations consisted gener ally in removing any excessive bony pro minence, and required, because of the pain fulness of the operation, a general anaes thetic. Scars, as a result, were always in evidence. '1 here was no known operation for build ing up a flattened nose except by the crude and uncertain method of inserting an arti ficial bridge of silver or other metal under the skin. These operations were seldom successful, and not until the discovery that the body would tolerate the presence of paraffin wax has an operation for straight ening the nose been successful. Now it is reported that experiments on animals and actual work on human beings show that when this wax is placed under the skin it becomes encapsulated, and re mains indefinitely unchanged and abso lutely harmless, producing no detrimental results whatever on the general health. It doeß not become absorbed, npr is it effected by exposure to heat or cold. . There is said to be a certain and easy method of cor recting a depression in the nose by the injection of this wax. This discovery is counted to huve passed the experimental stage and can be said to rank with oth6r recognised surgical opera tions. In the correcting of a nasal deformity by this new method no cutting is required, nor is an anaesthetic needed. The opera tion consists in passing a fine hypodermic needle under the skin, through whioh the wax is iujected and the part moulded into the shape desired. Hut a few minutes are required for this operation, and no pain is felt during the procedure. No after treat ment is needed, nor is the patient required to absent himself from hi.s duties. A per son, for example, may present himself with a flattened nose for treatment, aud in from three to five minutes the operation may be completed, and the deformity entirely cor rected. This method of operation is not confined solely to the nose, and the cheek, if fla£ tsned, many be similarly built out. Where' the shoulders are marred in appearance by the prominence of the collar bones the depressions above and below the bone can be filled out and the contour of the shoulder restored. The bust, if undeveloped, may be similarly treated. Depressions in the neck, caused by removal of glands or other operations, may be corrected. Wrinkles may also be erased. That the wax has become encapsulated is said to have been positively proved. In jections of wax placed under the skin of guinen pigs have on post mcrtein exami nation shown the wax surrounded by a capsule of tissue, with processes penetrating the mass in various places, giving it* the! appearance of mesh-work. No inflamma tion or pain follows the operation, nor does the presence of the wax under the skin produce any disagreeable sensation. Many small depressions about the nose or face, too small to be classed as deformi ties, may ba corrected by this method, thereby greatly improving the appearance.

The Colonial Premiers.

WHAT THEY THINK OP ONE ANOTHEE. AN AMUSING SKIT. The following amusing * Letters Home," in the " Outlook," purport to give tlio col onial Premiers' views about one another, and about the Colonial Secretary :— MR SxDDxN. I arrived here first, and got a straight pull on the other fallows. Everything goes well, and you will hear of me at tbe Con ference. B-rt-n is doing the majestic, and thinks himself a cut above the rest of us. "Pooh, pooh !" is his line at pre sent ; but wait till I get him at the table! Ch-mb-rl-in is not quite so easy as 1 thought, but he will not be able to back out of his support of ray speeches. The etFect of my tour in.South Africa was simply immense. K-tch-n-r had gone quite stale before I arrived. You know the result. You would be surprised at my cabling for the name of the best manual of elementary political economy, but I could not ask any body here. lam watched worse than the Prince of Wales. SIR E. BxETxN. The moment I arrived, all the London newspapers sent representatives to inter view me. I selected one, and told him no thing. Representing, as I do, the entire power of Australia, it does not become me to behave with the freedom of the other fel lows. Srdd-n is making a perfect fool of himself. Everybody is laughing at him, and he does not know it. I gave him an awful wipe in my interview over his tariff scheme. I begin io see why he would not allow his pottering little colony to come in to the Commonwealth. They say he wants it to be called- Seddonland. Laurier ar rived the other day, awfully sick. He will 'be sicker sti'l when he has to eat that S speech of his about the corn duties.. As for | Ch-mb-rl-n, ha wants to find out my plan ; I want to find out his. SIR WxLFRxD LxxßxxE. I find England positively reeking with ' Empire. That phrase of mine : " This great Empire, on which the sun ever shines," has become quite hackeneyed. S-dd-n, from New Zealand, and B-rt-n, from Australia, are going about mouthing bits of my old speeches for their own glorification. As for the tariff business, well, I am afraid there will be more Empire than tariff at our Conference. A strange thing is that i Ch-mb-rl-n always winks at one with one J eye, or seems to do so, as much as to say, " Keep it up/ It makes my position diffi cult, sandwiched between you people in ! Canada and the English people here, but my gift of speech comes handy. Much obliged for that hint to study Burkes speeches. There is a lot of really new stuff in them. The Seddon party is four j wife ( and two daughters; and he brings them all every time. SLR J. GxRDxN SPExGG, My position is most unpleasant, There is more than I ever imagined behind this movement to suspend the Constitution in Cape Colony, and then —well, I feel like the relative of a hanged man. There is a tre mendous want of perspective about the English people. They positively enjoy listening to the man called S-dd-n, from New Zealand, who has managed to impress them with the idea that he conquered South Africa. Nobody seems fo know mo outside the Colonial Office, and there they stare at me as if I had a rope round my neck. I assure you it is most unpleasant.
