INDEX OF CHARACTER.

1t is one of the mistakes of facial
ogists to maintain that the Roman
nose, such as is seen on the frontis'
piece of Julius Cesar, ia of itself
emblematic of heroic character. 1t
is habit to 80 class the arched pro-
boscis of Wellington. He wanted
the massive jaws which make q nose
true index of warIike character,
and one must 60 to the top of the
head for large frmness, and back of
the ears for large combasiveness and
destructiveness, to unlock the secret
Of the success of his arms. The
Greeks had long straight noses, and
no people we're drawer, while the
Romans, and no doubt the Cartha>
ginians, we're much Indebted to the
Pheuicians for the bridged and
beaked face>handles. Nspoleon's
nose was bat slightly arched, but his
Jaws we're massive. Washington's
nose was also slightly elevated 10
the centre, and be had massive jaws
which made him resolute and deter
mined. Gen. Grants nose is but
slightly arched, while that of Gen
Lee was short and almost straight,
showing civil talents in a marked
degree as we'll as a disciple of Mars.
Gen. HaDcock's nose is of the Lee
mould, and demonstrates similar
characteristics. Hancock is a man
who would fight gallantly for prin-
ciple, and then show large capacity
as civil ruler or agent of the PEG"
pie. Stonewall jackson possessed
heavy, iron.set jaws, and long,
full, almost straight nose like that Of
Marshal Macdonald, who was always
selected by Napoleon for daring en-,
terprise. The nose of real civil
ian is almost invariably of moderate
length, and running from under the
eyes in a nearly straight line, and
yet may have immense courage as
it's hidden characteristic. Sir Rob
ert PeePs nose was srched, but he is
az exception to the rule in civil life.
After a great war, the men of short
noses come to the front as civil re-
organizers. If to a Roman nose aud

chins index an animal nature in men
and women. Retreating chins are
evidences of great personal delicscy,
of the sentimental or poetic temper
ament. and yet from very pride the
owners when pressed will fight like
demons. If a man desires a wife
who will give no trouble, let him &C.
lect one with pug, or at best with
a straight nose, moderate jaws, and
a chin gently decreasing from the
hollow under the lower lip. So sure
as he marries a woman with an
atched nose, strong and protuberant
jaws, and big chin, he will never
be master of bis own house. Such
a woman is q cross between an eagle
and tigress, for somehow every
human being resembles something
that flies and walks, and sometimes
animals that creep. Nature has so
ordered it, and neither anatomjss,

cholOgist can penetrate the mystery.

Many weird tales have been told
of seeds found in the hands of Egypt
ian mummies being planted and
growing into some flower Of woOder-
full beauty, but with so deadly a per
fume that it destroyed the lives of
it's wesrers. 1t is fact that an En-
glish market gardener has recently
raised peas from some dried ones
found 10 the grip of a mummy
When Michael Davitt was 10 the
Portland prison, too, one OF the visl
tors became interested in the little
garden which the founder of the
Land League was allowed to smuse
himself by cultivatiDg, and sent him
some flower seeds which had come
in like manner from the tomb of an
Egyptian. Davis planted the seeds
and reared specimens of the fora Of
old Egypt.

WHAT A WOMAN HAS DONE.

Miss Helen Green, daughter of
G.. J. Green, of Carroll county, Mis-.
souri,, is an example of what a
young lady can do in this country it
she will. With good business capac
ity, but with no more than the ordi,
nary education of the public schools
and plenty of snap and energy, but
no influential friends, she commence
ed two years ago as commercial
traveller for small house in Kansas
City at $50 per month. By her own
unassisted efforts and merits alone
she is now travelling for the Mound
City Lead & Color Company, of st.
Louis at first class salary, with the
Endorsement from her employers
that she sells more goods than any
salesman they have. and they en-
pIoy eight on the road all the time.
Her example is commended to those
girls who are teaching schools at
$50 per month, or worse still suck
Jog their thumbs in idlenes at home,
while mother" does the work and
supports them. 1t may not be
fashionable for girls to earn their own
living, but we confess to an admira>
ton for the pluck and energy that
has placed Miss Green on the road
to competency. She has helped
to solve in a practical way the ques-
ton. What can girls do to earn
livipgf' There are plenty of girls
that can do as she has done, with
the same success.

INTERESTING TO THE SMALL Boy.
The song birds nearly all build
low; their cradle is not upon the
tree top. 1t is only birds of prey
that fear danger from below more
than from above, and they seek the
higher branches for their nests. A
line FIVE feet from the ground would
ruu above more than half the nests,
and one ten feet would bound more
than three fourths of them. 1t is
only the oriole and the wood pewee
that, as a rule, go higher than this

mics of the birds have learned to

But the leaves and the protective

The contingent fund being ex"

unable the other day to pay claim
against the State of 500 as a reward
for the capture of an offender. The
Governor has been blamed in some
quarters for the smsllness of the re-
wards offered for captures, bat the
explain alton is that there has been
an insufficient fund to draw on to
pay even these small offers. The
Governor it seems does not choose

JAY GoULD's ALLEGED FEAR.

Mr.. Crosby, former law partner OF

would not come to Saratoga on &C
count of his fear of assassination. -
He never goes down town in New
York any more after night on &C.
count of bis physical fear. He
courts retirement constantly, regard
Jog safety as only found in public
Ignorance of his appearance. 1t is
a common belief among New York
men that Gould will not die a natur'

ruined too many men, and nothing
to lose will shoot him. It is on &C
count of this fear that Jay Gould has
built bis yacht for his summer recrs
atoms, not caring to trust himself a

Wheat and Corn.

Prof, A. E. Blount, of Colorado
Agricultural College, in journal of
the American Agricultural Associa-
ton" In the first number of the
Journal of the American Agricultural
Association" Prof. Kedzie, in his arti-
Gle on the "Ripening of Wheat" says
"The wheat crop is the staple agricul-
turol production of every State and
Territory"-yes, of the whole civilized
woodland that "it is the leading &C.
real" The fact that it is the leading
cereal" and of so great value, forced
me, ten years ago, to careful study
of it, and a determination to improve
it and corn to such an extent that their
capacity for quality and quantity should
at least be doubled. Every year every
variety have attempted to improve
has given evidence that my determine
ton and study have not been in vain.
In the Improvement of wheat | have
kept two objects prominently in view
continually: First, to make a good
variety for the farmer; second, to
make good one for the miller, and
might add a third object, viz: to make
these in one and the same wheat. In
other words to so combine characters
tics and milling properties into one va
riety that it would meet the demands
of both farmer and miller. Of late my
sole object has been to make a wheat
by crossing and selection with stiff
straw, well glazed, long heads, clos'
chat, fine plump hard grain and pro
life (these satisfy the farmer, and alsc
in the same grain to combine the very
\ best milling properties of our hes
