John Howard Payne.

John Howard Payne was the most
remarkable youth on record. When
he was but fourteen years of age he
had written many poems that stand
alone for merit as coming from one of
such tender years. At this carly period
of his life he was also the editor and
dramatic critic of New York paper
callel the ThespjGn Mirror. So re-
markahly wei was this paper edited
that it commanded the marked atten-
tention and admiration of the most
cultured minds of the time. At six
teen years of age he was the Young
American Roscius," and was acknowl-
edged by the best critics of the day as
an actor of great merit. When he was
nineteen years of age he performed in
Drury Lane theatre, London, and
made decided success. In after years
he wrote and prepared for the stage no
less than fifty plays, tragedies, come
dies, farceS and operas, the majority of
which were performed in Drury Lane
and Covent Garden theatres. His
tragedy of "Brutus" was performed,
with the great Edmund Kean as Bru-
tus, fifty-three nights in its first sea-
son, to crowded houses, at Drury Lane.
This tragedy, and his comedy of
"Charles the Second" after fifty years,
still hold a place in the standard
drama, and have been performed by
many of the best actors cf the nine
teenth century. lie was one of the
best consuls the United States ever
had. lie was a gentleman of marked
refinement and truth, and lent grace
to everything that he undertook to do,
and his memory is worthy of all the
honor that has Eeen lavished upon it
by the monument in Prospect park,
Brooklyn, and the bringing home of
his remains to his native country

Nasal Race Charact ristics.

Naturalists can tell the habits of an
animal from his tooth and nail, but
the nose puzzles them, for men and the
monkeys are anatomically the same.
Topinard calls attention to two types
of the arched nose-the one thick, in
which the nose is large and rounded
off at the back, and puffy at the point;
the other thin, in which the lateral
planes are well defined, the bridge
sharp. and the median lobule distinct
from the alaa, and prolonged below the
plane of the nostrilS like the eagle or
parrots beak, whence its name, aqui-
line There aretwo kinds of flattening
of the nose, epate and ecrase. The for
mer applies to the organ in its entirety,
and is equally applicableto the skeleton.
The latter is owing to a want of con-
sistency in the cartilage. The Chinese
have the former nose; the Malays the
latter; negroes both styles The form
Of the nOstrils viewed from below is
distinctive feature of race characteris-
tics. These are elliptical from before
backward in the white; more or less
diverging backward, so as to become
almost transverse, in the most inferior
races, their variations depending prin-
cipally on the breadth of the sub-sep-
trum behind. Noses change from
childhood to manhood. Who ever saw
a baby with anything but tiny pug
sticking out between its flabby and
milk-sopped cheeks? 'Tis the nose of
weakness, helplesness and undevelop-
ment. 1t retains its inward curve till
the age of puberty, when the interior
force of the new life receives fresh
impulses and pushes the nasal bone
forward till the distinctive character
of the race or individual is marked. In
the Caucasian the nose averages in
length one-third of the face. in the
Mongolian one fourth, in the Ethiopian
something less.

The CAPTAIN as n Sub jtitute.

Oavy Jones was a bullet-headed,
long-necked, rGad-shOuIdered, deep.
ch. sted Indianian, six feet three inches
from top to toe, who before the war
was considered a good man in tuSs1e,
quarrelsome under the influence of
beer, but lid not take high rank as an
influential citizen. When the war broke
out Davy was one of the first to enlist,
and when the company organized for
the three months service left home
Davy carried the flag, and seemed to
have lost his boyishneSS and to he every
inch soldier. He served through The
three months service and entered the
three years service us second lieute2-
ant. Before the battle at Fort Donel-
son he was captain, and had grown
wonderfully in manliness. He was a
tremendous fighter, and when the COM
pany was in an engagement always
carried musket and used it to good
advantage. At the battle of Fort
Donelson he was engaged in this way,
advising his men between shots, when
the colonel in passing reprimanded him
and ordered him o put down the musket
IN take his sword. Captain Davy made
the chang but remarked: GA sword
is blamed poor implement for use at
long range" The colonel out of sight,
he resumed his mus e., and continued
to use it to the end of the war. When
his time was out he returned to his ma
tive town with aprOud record and set.
tied down to business. In the bank one
day he saw sorrowful-looking young
man come in to traw his last five
hundred dollars and heard in eXplana-
tion story like this: "The young
man had a wife and one child. He had
made one payment ON his farm recently
purchased. and was just beginning to
see his way out of debtt when he was
dratt2l. He had saved money enough
to make the second payment on his
farm. With this lie could hire a
substitute, but if he did he lost his
farm. If he made the payment and
went hims If, his farm would not pay
and he could not make the third pay
ment. He supposed he ought to go,
but his wife was sick, was about to
become mother, and the very thought
of his going made her almost frantic
Take what course he might, trouble
met him in the face. He had con-
cluded, on his wifc's account, to hire a
substitute and try and pull through"
This was the young mans story,
There was no bitterness against the
government-no railing out against the
draft, and no whining at Providence.
Captain Davy, fresh from the scenes of
war, and fresh from scenes where he
had won glory as Il commander, heard
the story, stepped forward and said !:
"Take your money home, make the
payment on your farm. I'll go in
your place, and for nothing That's
me, you know" And he went. He
enlisted as private, served as a
private, and returned as proud of
having served as a substitute as he
was of having served as a captain

scarcity of insects.

DIR. Siemens calculates that IT,,
present annual yield of all the coal
mines Of the earth would suffice to
keep up the fire of the sun, at its pres
ent intensity of light and heat, for
about the forty-millionth part of d
second.
M. Armand states in the ChemitHl
Ne,CS that the deleterious effects of the
use of tobacco can lie counteracted, if
not entirely annihilated, by moisten-
ing the tobacco when in course of pre-
paration, previous to it's delivery to
the consumer, with u strong infusion
of water-cresses, since the author has
discovered that this vegetable contains
principles which, without destroying
the peculiar aroma of tobacco, destroys
the deleterious effects of nicotine.
The accumulation of coal dust in the
air of coal mines is said to be effectual-
ly prevented by the simple process of
sprinkling considerable quantities of
common salt through the workings.
BY this means, the dust, which is
usually raised in clouds and floats in
the air, is kept down the same a damp

iery, hidden away amid Durers, Bon

At glance it is evident that it is a

be the master of blOo hounds. 1t con-
tains his name written in those long,
struggling letters that need almost to
be held at the horizontal level with the
eye to be read. 1t is photograph that
Bismarck ent to Mr.. Stewart some
years ago with request for a similar
gift from him in return. Mr.. Stewart
hesitated long time about what to
do, but he is said not to have been
tempted to waver from his determina-
ton not to have his photograph taken,
which was one of his frme t re e.Olu-
tions. He acknowl dyed Bismarck's
gift in a polite note, stated his aversion
to having his ph tograph taken, and
inclosed a check for $1,000 to be given
to some charity. There is no reason
given for Mr.. Stewards determination
not to have his picture taken. Some
conjecture that it was lie lSe of his
wish to be able to appear suddenly at
any point in his vast machinery of
business without being recognized;
others that he-wished to avoid identi-
fication for numerous reasons more
easily thought of than expressed, and
others that he wished to be thought of
as being more imposing than lie was.

TricllinR.

J. E. Morris, NJ. d., in the Clinical
Brief, saysin regard to trichin@ in swine
that il is a well established fact that
the real source of infection in swine
lies entirely in the rat. A committee
of Vienna physicians found in Nora
via thirty-Seven per cent. of rats ex-
amined trichinous in Vienna and its
environs ten per cent; and in Lower
Austria about four per cent. The
well-known voracity of the hog, and
its spe ial fon iness for meat, cause it
to feed upon the flesh of other ami
mails infested with these parasites, and
especially rats and mice. To prevent
trichinous swine it is highly important
to cut off all the sources of disease in
the diet of these animals.
