bodily Repairs.

A man. now and then. has the misfor.
tune to lose his nose. What would be the
greatest conquerOr that ever lived with
out this useful appcndage? Many man
would as soon lose his life as his nose !;
hence the skill we see exerted to supply Its
place when lost. or old. the organ was
modelled, rs far Us possible, In the form Of
the old member. and then the permanent
structure was shaped out Of beaten silver,
which was enameled SO us to match the
complexion. The metal probOscis was
commonly secured to the face by means OF
pair OF spectacles, which skillfully hid
the line of juncture. There was one ad-
vantage In this artificial nose. 1t needed no
pocket-handkcrchief; but then 1t suffered
the drawback OF possessing no power of
smell. Gutta percha has lately been used
In place OF metal; but, by means of the
rhin0plastlc operation, tho skilled surgeon
has Of late years taken all the repairs of
the face out ofthe hands of the orthopra-
tic artist. The surgeon calls In Dame Ma
ture to his aid ut once. Having made q
figure In wash-leather OF the amount of
skin required to form the new member. he
marks the triangular outline upon the pa-
ticnt's forehead, with the base upwartl.
He now dlssects the skin down to the bone
lifting the cellular tissue, togcather with
all the blood-vessels that nourish Il. The
stump, or SO much OF the nose as Is re-
talned, having been pared down so as to
give good shape. the fiap of the skin Is
twisted upon Itself Just between the brows,
seas to maintain the circulation, and then
it Is fastened upon the superstructure by
satures; Ina few days, adhesion takes
tablishcd. and a very fair proboscls 70 the

Hoe 10 Keep Wisfer APpies.

Fruit growers who are SD fortunate as
TO have winter apples. can prolong their
keeping by packing In saw dust, other
than pine IL possible. Put In some dry
ulacc for several weeks before using,
spread out thin, so rs tn be perfectly dry.
Keen your apples on the trees rs late rs
nosslble not To be touched with frost.
i,ick In the middle Of u pleasant day, when
nerfeefly dry. Handle with care, and
leave nh the stems on. Pick no bruised,
wormy or defective fruit. Pack In bar
rels. Sprinkle an Inch OF the latter on the
bottom OF the barrel. Place the apples In
LAYERS very carefully OF the saw dust-a
row next To the slaves. and row next to
these. and SO on until you finish In the
centre with a single apple. Cover this
iaycr with saw dust, and SO continue un-
tii the barrel IL full, with layer or fruit
and layer of saw dust, leaving an Inch
or more of the latter on the top. Put the
head In with q slight pressure, gently
shaking the barrel and keeping the con-
tents perfectly tight. Remove to some
out-building, and keep there till hard
freezing weather comes ON, when the bar
rels should be stored In dry cellar, plac-
al ON blocks or planks so rs not to touch
the ground.
In this way the latest keepers will be
perfectly fresh. In perfect order, and flavor
unlmpaired. Packing In saw dust has
many advantages over sand. First, II Is
so much lighter, and adds nothing to the
expenses of freight. Second, the saw
dust absorbs all the moisture and sweat
from the apple. Third, II by chance an
apple rots, Il cannot contaminate its neigh
bors by coming In contact with them. IL
the barrels are made rs tight as they
should be, the fruit will be kept from the
air, AMI come out as good rs II canned.

Bonneis---Latest Paris Fashions.

II Is very difficult to give any idea Of

Nine. Lebrun painted of her,) the Queen
of France wears cerise velvet t0que Or
namented ut the side with white algrette.
Well, new bOnnets are more like that
head-dress than anything I can recall !;
they are a trifle lower, aud they have mar
row strings. either of velvet or thick RIB
bed silk. They form charming head-tlres-
scs; II Is impossible to imagine anything

fashion of paniers and ether ftirbelows
which Prevailed during Louis XVI.'s

winter; so they are making them In all
coiors, and selling them as fast as they
are Drought Into their show rooms. For
dressy occasions they match I'm color the

Il Romaaee IN Real Llfs.

Several years ago young lady In Tar
cwcll county was woOed by young man.
He obtained her consent and the consent
of the old folks, but three days before tho
wedding she took q freak into her head
and went of and married another man.
The young man was heart-broken and
packed up his effects and went to New
York city. There he Lid his grief, buried
himself In business, and engaged In spec
ulatlOn, was successful and became
wealthy. A younger sister Of the girl
that had Tilted him, moved by sympathy,
commenced q correspondence with him to
endeavor to. mitigate his sorrow. The
young girl grew up, and rs years rolled
on, ripened Into great beauty. The
sight of her photograph awakened In the
young mans bosom the love that he had
supposed crushed forever, and he propos-
ed and was accepted. Her father was
wilOwer and was anxious to get married
himself as soon as his daughter was out Of
the way, so he urged the match forward.
The means of the lover now admitted
brilliant wedding, and preparations were
made for It. They were to be married
last Wednesday In style, and depart I'M
mediately for New York city. A few days
ago the expectant bride received o letter
from her betrothcd stating that he had
entered into a speculation that would keep
him In the city so that he could not posi-
bly, be with her at the time appointed, aud
asking her to delay the ceremony for q
day or two. He also referred TO the time
when he had expected to be united to hel
sister. Provoked to think that no still
remembered his former love, the young
lady wrote him In passion, and sitting
down at the same time wrote to q cousin
of hers, q farmer In Iowa, who had long
loved her, telling him that she had broken
her engagement, relating the circumstan-
ces to him, and ending by saying that she
was all ready to be married. and II he
would come and be there nc the time set
for her wedding she would marry him.
He compiled. Her betrothed In New York
astOnlshed to receive her letter, closed up
his business as best he could and came to
Tazewell county by the next train. He
reached the little village where she lived
and was Fastening up to the house to ftil.
fill his engagement when he was met by
some of Ills friends and told that his bride
had just been married to another man.
He tainted away on the spot and was ia
ken up to the hotel. When the bride was
told of It she was overwhelmed with re-
morse, but It was then too late. She was
legally married to her cousin. The New
Yorker. twice heart-broken, LEFT for his
home without seeing her, and she passed
through this city yesterday, on her way to
an Iowa farm, looking very detected and
like anything but bride.-Hiinofs Pa-

In warm weather hogs lay on flesh and
fat twice as fast rs In cold, II they are
well supplied with good feed. IT they
have access To a clover field they will
grow rapidly. and IL little grain Is given
daily. but small amount Of corn will be
required In the fall to flt them for the bar
rel. Sweet apples make good feed,
but sour apples are Of but little value to
them.
Economy can and should be exercised
In pork making; cooked grain Is at least
OF One-thir,l more value than bran, and
ground grain u better than the whole.
Bran AMI middllngs from wheat or rye,
mixed with milk, whey. or slops from the
kitchen make good summer feed.
Many farmers are In the habit OF allow
Ing their hogs to run In the pastures and
get only wha- they can gather until frost
comes; then they are put up and fatted
on corn fed In the ear. When corn IL
worth hut twenty-five cents per bushel,
and slow sale nc that, this process may do,
but at q price paid for corn during the
past few years, the grain required to nc q
hog Of common grade for the butcher,
would bring more In market than the pork
IL produces.
liz hogs have no other place than the
pasture or public highway to run In, they
had better be confined In pen, for they
will lose rs much flesh In their wandering
rs common grass will furnish. In the
den they may be kept growing m warm
weather without much expense, by use
