which have the lOJeS of the ears red,
show coarsencsl OF nature aud sensual

show tbeir "ntiie form when the face IS
seen from the front, it denotes raparity

show refinement and susceptible ity.
Long shaped Lut small cars indicate le-
finement; very small ear close to the

A wide space between the wing OF the
nose and the ear-hole shows coarseneSS

Hsnglng Deserters.

'NnieaSO JOlflta 81
1t is probably true that Mr.. Lin 'oln
often pardoned deserterS, but it is
equally true that many were executed.
For instance, in the fall of 1851, one
Johnson, of the 81 incolr.' New York j
cavalry, went through our lines near
Fairfax, gave himself up to the first
uad he met, told them he was de-
serter, answered all he knew as to our
forces and then found that he was yet
with our men. He was brought hack
10 Gen. Franklin's head uarterS, near
the old seminary, and the second day
thereafter was shot, all tae troops in
that vicinity being out TO witness the
execution. At least a dozen men were
hanged for desertion in the Army o. the
Potomac during December, 1856. Such
executions weIe witnessed every Friday
during that month, and on one Of those
occasions folr men took the drop. If
Mr.. Lincoln did not sanction, be Ger

The Dietetir Philo 'ophy of Soup"

1t may be safely taken az stable
physio. ogical fact that the stomach vii
not so readily digest solid substances
when there are taken alone as when
they are preceded Oh the digestive Jour
rey by SOUP The bread which is eaten
with the soup will be converted into
dextrin i'll the mouth, and the essentials
OF the soup, on reaching the stomach,
will apparently supply the little glands
of the organ with power to manu-
facture the peps!n OF the gastric juice
in due quantity. 1t would seem, in
truth, as if these glands demanded
nourishmeut and stimulation in their
own turn; and the soup, through its
containing abundance OF dissolved mat
ters, presents them with the where
withal from which 10 derive tie neceS-
sary energy.
An Italian physician points out that
where the meat We eat is uicy aud ten
der the savory principles ale readily ca
tracted from it and are thus Sci ed by
the stomach withont trouble. But if
the meat he tough and the reverse OF
juvenile and juicy, it will, in conse,
Qrence, be digested with difficulty. The
Frenchman, in this view of matters, has
found by experience that he can the
more readily digest his tough meat il
the meat is thoroughly boiled and if the
bread be added to the soup which forms
the introduction of his meals.

Triumph of the Camera

Some remarkable photographs of a
pistol bullet In its light, under the
illumination of an electric spark, have
been secured by Professor +. Mach oi
Prague. He has also photographed the
air-streams which one may see over q
Bunsen burner placed in sunshine, and
has even obtained pictures of waves OF
sound, these last being made visible by
a method in which advantage is taken
of the irregular refraction of light by
the waves set in vibration by sound.
Although these experiments may not
have any practical value. they are in
teresting as showing the great degree OF
perfection to which the phot ographic
art has heen carried.

although it was later Of the same day
that it was known that it was Grant.
After the surrender, Grant rode by,
accom- anied by Wash5urnc, of Illinois,
and some onfederates. To some re-
mark, some gush, We suspect, by a top
federatc, Washburne re- lied with some
other gush which .ust at that sushine
moment Of defeat, was thought to lie o
very fine sentiment, 81 am proud OF MY

the same he had i'll the mOrHihg,. still

pcarance of tirmneSs about the man anG
about everything about him. The cigar
seemed to bc fast rooted in the nan, the
man in his saddle, the saddle 10 the
horse the horse 10 the solid earth. We
never forgot the impression OF poWcr,
or that there Wa. with it an expression
of simple good will and kindness, which
was as distinctive a trait as irmness
without severity. OF the cigar we had
never heard; but it made an impression.
Grant is not all of Grant without it.
