Noses.

A MEDICAL correspondent sends an
amusing letter on noses, He declares
that a perfectly symm etrical face, with
the nose in the exact mesial line, is Il
rare, If not an impossible, case-in fact,
monstrosity. He further says that the
deviation from perfect symmetry is
beauty, not defect, and constitutes one
superiority of the living countenance
over the imitation by painting or sculp-
ture, in which the slight natural depart
ure from mathematical accuracy is not
initiated. He then gives the anatomical
explanation of the fact rs follows:
The nose as feature depends entirely
in its confguration on the arrangement
of the bones and cartilages of which it is
constructed. The structures here men
toned may specifically be distinctly
felt ut their point of junction, and il you
carefully observe, when no injury has
occurred, any deviation from the mesial
line only takes place in the cartilaginous
portion of the organ.
Beyond what may thus be specifically
felt, there occurs a bone called the romer
from its likeness TO a plowshare), which
plays very great part in determining
the formation and contour of the nose.
In truth it is the disposition of this bone
which determines the question at issue.
II has an attachment TO the bones Of the
nose and face very similar to that of the
rudder to "A ship, and Is so situated over
cutcus or slit in the ethmoid bone Of the
internal nose as of necessity to seek at
tachment to one or other side of this slit.
This bone, therefore, is or ought to be,
slightly on one side of the mesial line of
the face, and forming, as it does, part of
the septum which divides the nostrils,
and at the same time forming middle
or central support and point of attach
ment TO the nasal cartilage, it must OF
necessity carry the soft part of the nose
to that side to which it inclines.
1t will thus appear that, in an anatom.
iCal point of view, the nose Is abnormal
which evenly occupies the middle line OF
the countenance, and that the organ
which Is more or less biased from the
center is correct.
In children this character Is absent, or
only very slightly apparent, as the conner
itself Is but rudimentary and cartilage
nous in its structure till the age of puber-
ty is past. Nevertheless, an injury in
youth, If unattended to, might and does
lead to exaggeration in after years.
] have not observed to which side, as a
rule, in the majority of cases, the nose
inclines. All can vouch for is my own
special case, where the bias is decidedly
to the right.-Leisure Hour.

when all other means failed. The whole
company, with hardly an exception,
shaved such signs of timidity and mex
perience that the spectators expressed
their opinions in a most forcible manner
by liberal showers of bottles, sticks and
other missiles nearest at hand, at each
fresh specimen of awkwardness. At
Madrid, Seville and other large cities,
more experienced operators prevent the
exhibition of such scenes as | witnessed
at Santander; but until SPANS favorite
amusement ceases to interest her chill
dren she can never take her place
amongst civilized nations, who are taught
to look upon cruelty to the brute creation
as crime. One of the first things which
strikes an Englishman on entering the
country is the want of consideration
which is everywhere noticeable. Over
lading is the least and most common of
the cruelties practiced. One can only
now use the voice of reason, but that is
of little avail unstrengthened by the
hand of the law. 1t is fervently to be
hoped that the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals will be able
to induce the Government to permit it to
extend Its career of usefulness to this
neglected people, and, by inducing them
to be merciful to their beasts, to be mer-
ciful to their fellow-men"

A Fight Between Tiger and a
Grizzly Bear.

In an article on "Show Life" in the
Chicago Times, the writer tells the fol-
lowing old-time incident:
On one occasion Lent was part owner
of travelling circus and menagerie.
One day he met a man out West who had
a grizzly bear for sale. AS the animal
was a splendid specimen of a young
grizzly, Lent purchased him, and after
he got him he found himself in the posi-
ton Of the man who drew the elephant.
There was but one cage In the menagerie
that could contain the bear, and that al
ready had an occupant in the shape OF a
large and ely-developed Bengal tiger.
Lent told one of his partners that he was
going TO quarter the grizzly with the tiger
1.-THE dickens you are" was the an
swer. "Why that tiger will make q
square meal Of him before you can
wink"
"All right If he does, I'm satisfied"
says Lent. "You look after your tiger
and I'll take care of my bear"
The grizzly was accordingly lifted into
the cage, the tiger haying previously
been driven to an opposite corner by the
application Of hot irons. Then all the
employees of the circus gathered to wit
ness the fight The animals sighted each
other at the same instant, but, while the
tigers eyes blazed with fury ant his tail
dashed the bars In his excitement, the

MILKING TINE.

A. the foot Of the Hill the milk-heuse stands,
where the Balm OF Gilead spreads his hands,
And the willow trails at each pendent tip
The lazy lash of golden whip,
And an ice-cold spring with a tinkling sound
Makes q bright green edge for the dark greer
ground.
Cool AZ a cave is the air within,
Brave are the shelves with the Furnished tin
or the curying chores, and the seas of white
That turn TO gold in single night,
A. If the disc Of 9 winter noon
should take the tint of a new donbloon!
Burned to a coal Ia the amber day,
Moons splendid fire has faded away,
And, lodged on the edge of a world gras--grown.
Like q great live ember CLOVIS the sun
When II falls behind the crimson bars
Look ont for the sparks of the early stars.
With the clang Of her bell motherly brown
No trace of her lineage handed down
Il leading the long deliberate line
OF the Devons red and the Durhams fine.
- Co bossf"" Co boss !" and the caravan
With dowager swing comes down the lane,
And lowing 6ong from the clover bed
Troops over the bars with q numbering tread.
Under the lee OF the patient beasts,
On their tripod stools like Pithian priests,
The tow-clad boys and the linsey girls
Make the cows give down" in milky swiris.
There's a stormy time in the drifted pals,
There's q sea foam swath in the driving gales,
Then girls and boys with whistle and song,
Two pals apiece, meander along
The winding path in the golden gloom.
And IS set the milk in the twilight room.

Winter BOnnets mt the Paris Milliners'

HAVE just come, early in the season
as il is, from inspecting a large number
of winter bonnets, prepared for pattern
hats for the ensuing season. The shapes
will remain pretty much as they were
last spring, though a more decided at
tempt is to be made to revive the old
fashioned gypsy shape, so popular some
seventeen years ago. For young girls
and youthful matrons regular shep-
herdess hat in velvet, the brim turned
up at the left side and confined with a
bouquet of roses, will be the most grace
full and becoming of innovations. /
noticed most particularly this morning
a rich emerald green velvet bonnet, the
crown bordercd with leaves formed of
emerald steel beads, and the front filed
in with feather trimming dotted closely
with emerald beads. A garnet velvet
bonnet had the crown formed of two
large puffs; right in front were placed
three full-blown pink roses, while over
the top of the crown, in the division be-
tween the two puifs, went a very full
branch of heath. The same model was
repeated, but with natural ostrich
feather trimming in place of the flowers.
A lovely bonnet in chestnut-br brown velvet
and cafe-au.lait colored silk was trimmed
very simply with three large, full. blown,
ready to tumble-to-pieces roses in differ.
ent shades of tea and crimson, placed
just behind, over a bow Of chestnut
brown ribbon, with long ends. A very
elegant black velvet bonnet was trimmed
with broad ribbon, black gros grain on
one side, and pale green satin on the
other; this ribbon was twisted, or rather
laid in folds, around the crown, terminal
ing behind in two short fringed ends,
the black end being embroidered with a
large leaf in jet. A single jet lily, with
out leaves, in front Of the crown, and q
wreath Of green rosebuds just showing q
tinge of red, which filed up the brim in
side, completed this elegant bonnet
Wreaths and bandeaux inside the brin
are TO be extensively worn. Some thai
saw were of autumn leaves with sprig'
of dead wood, others of large garden
daisies with centers of gold and stee
beads. A bonnet of the new "pochard'
crimson was trimmed with pale-pink
roses and the fashionable heath, and
one of dark blue velvet of the gypsy
shape was very simply trimmed with q
dark blue feather, and with q
single spray Of tearoses inside the brim
Bows of ribbon, with very long ends fall
ing behind are almost universal adjuncts
to the new styles of bonnets-Lucy

A Spanish Buli.Fight.

A SPECIAL correspondent of the Lon.
don Datiy 1etegraph, writing from San
lander on the 3D. inst, says " II is some
what of relief from the constant mar
ration of the civil war, with it's daily-in-
Creasing barborities, to be able To divert
ones attention TO different subject.
The great festival of Santiago, in honor
of SPANS warrior patron Saint James, Is
being celebrated throughout the whole
country by religious ceremonies and bull.
fights. Santander had another attraction
"a cattle show-but that exceedingly in
teresting exhibition deserved q better
fate than TO be deserted for the horrors
of the bulLring. There is no Disgusting
the fact that the Corrida de Torres is the
ne Plus ultra Of delight of every Spaniard
Of whatever station, age or sex. So pop
ular was this that the lowest price for
admission was raised to twenty.one
reales -four shillings and sixpence), and
even at that every place was disposed OF
on each Of the two days OF. the spectacle,
Saturday and Sunday. The amphithea'
ter holds 10000 people, and, like all other
bull-rings, is open to the sky. If IL were
otherwise the heat would be insupporta-
BILE. Six bulls were put to death each
day, but so many horses were sacrificed
on Saturday that few were left
for Sunday The cspadas, picadores
and banderillos were far from per
feet in the exercise of their pro
fession-the main object of the
picadores apparently being to thrust
their sorry steeds on the horns Of the
bulls, instead of, by their own dexterity,
swerving them from the impending
danger. Each bull killed three, four or
five horses on the first day. If j dared
to portray few OF the repulsiye features
of the scene, it would lessen the surprise
felt at the horrors of the war now raging.
The boxes are filled with ladies, many of
whom brought their children, possibly
upon Spanish principles, to harden their
feelings against what they may deem
false sentimentality The blcalde, with
his brother municipal officers, presided.
To their credit they would not comply
with the reiterated shouts of the gods
(who were in their more proper sphere,
the bottom instead Of at the top of the
house) for more horses. This was less to
be wondered at after one more than usu-
ally disgusting spectacle of horse
which bull tossed up and literally dis
embowcled before the eyes Of all; the
poor wretch even then staggered half
way across the arena before it fell dead.
The bulls in their turn suffered from the
bungling Of espadas; one was to be seen
rushing wildly about the arena with a
sword buried up TO its hilt in its carcass,
and 1t was only when from mere wcari-
ness it fell down that it was stabbed be-
tween its horns by member of the
troupe, who stealthily approached 1t
from behind and gave the coup dc grace

The Net Of the Garden Spider.

The web or net of the common garden
spider, Epeira diadema may be seen in
every garden, spread across little open
ings between the branches and canes of
fruit trees, bushes and vines. 1t is more
abundant this year than for several years
past. 1t is generally passed by without
any regard or concern, yet its fabricator
is useful in destroying some of the moths
and flies that produce injurious Larvae.
1t has been discovered that the net Of
this spider consists of two kinds of silk.
The threads of the concentric circle are
composed of silk much more elastic than
that of the rays, ana are studded over
with minute globules of viscid gum,
sufficiently adhesive to retain any unwary
fly that comes in contact with it. A net
of average dimensions has been found to
contain 81 1863 of these globules, and
large net, fourteen or sixteen inches in
diameter, 700; yet this net will be
completed in about forty minutes if no
interruption occur. In ordinary circum-
stances the threads lose their viscidity by
exposure to the air, and require to have
it renewed every twenty-four hours.
Any person by scattering little fine
dust over the webs may satisfy himself
that il is retained only on the circles
where the minute globules are placed,
and not upon the radii. If the globules
are removed, both lines are unadhesive;
but in other respects they are different,
the circular lines being transparent and
highly elastic, while the radial lines are
Opaque, and possess only II moderate de-
gree of electricity. Astronomers find
the Opaque silk of the radical lines and
of the egg bag convenient substitute
for platina wires in the telescopes at
tached to their instruments, but the silk
of the circular lines, being transparent,
is unsuitable for this purpose Western
