savsgery and ignorance. No person
with a very short nose ever made a
profound impression in the world.
The hard Roman nose, pushing its way
despite all personal suffering. has
played 4 conspicuous part in the moral
as well as the political advancement of
the world. 1t dominated the old Ro-
man race as well as the modern ag-
gressiye Briton. 1t carried Washing
ton on to triumph, stood in the fore
front of LineC(n's unyielding strength,
as it had sustained the shocks of Wa
terloo in the face of the Iron Duke.
Against him was pitted the Roman
nosed Napoleon, but in the septum of
Wellington's nose the sign of s~ynthesis.
of intellectual combination and per-
severence, vas very large, and this
caused him to hold out on that day,
even when the apparent tide of war
had turned against him, until Butcher
came, and all was saved.
The face of John Wesley, a cousin
of Wellington, shows the same agrees
siye character. in all the great found
ers of religions, or Of sects, We see the
same aggressive nose. 1t stands boldly
forth in the face of Zoroaster, the Mo
manned, in Calvin, in the otherwise
gentle face of the Nazarene, and in the
host of other leaders who have done
fierce battle for opinion. Nature never
puts q great cause upon n saddle
backed nose, and expects it will rise in
power. 1t was not Victor Emmanuel,
but rather the high-nozed Garibaldi,
who achieved the independence Of It
ally. a lo~w-bridged nose will do for
the helplessness of childhood, or the
servility of the African, but such a
bridge will never carry u great work
safely over. The aquiline nose of the
Jews has large signs of aggression, de-
Tense, and protection, while the breadth
of their noses indicates their money
making ~propensities. This form of the
nose was common among the old AS
syrians, rs shown by their sculptures.
The protection OF tip of the nose indi-
Gates observation, the questioning fac
ulty, and belong TO the inquisitive
mind of the child. He has everything
to learn, and how can he learn except
as he ask questions? This faculty takes
the lead in our intellectual processes,
as its advance-guard position in the
face plainly shows. If we inquire and
observe, some discovery will follow.

The Lenape Stone.

"The Lenape stone" is a flat stone
about four inches long and an inch and
a half wide, with rude picture scratch
ed on the surface representing Indians
fighting a hairy mammoth. 1t is brok-
en- into two parts, and the story uoes
that the fragments were found, at an
interval of nine years, by a boy work
ing in a field in Bucks county, Penn.
four miles and q half east of Doyles-
town. The piece first discovered was
plowed up; the second came to light
when the same youth was husking corn
in the same field. The carving is rude
ly done, and with a few strokes. In
front of the mammoth as it strides FOR
ward are drawn two fighting Indians
with bows and arrows. Wigwams and
pine trees appear in the distance, while
in the sky the sun, moon, stars, and n
constellation are all on duty. One In
dian has been trampled under foot by
the monster, and another, who is re-
cumbent, seems not yet to have taken
alarm. The picture could be copied in
two or three minutes by rapid PEN
strokes. The stone is slate, and the
reverse side contains turtles, hawks,
and other objects.
Experts who have examined the
carving pronounce it a fraud, but Mr..
Ii. &. Mercer, who knows the finder
and the man who purchased the stone,
thinks otherwise, and has written a
book on the subject. The Delaware
tribe lived in that region of Pennsylva-
MIA for centuries, and curious stones
marked by them have been unearthed
in Bucks county.
The Lenape stone' was submitted
to DR.. d. G. Brinton, the well-kn own
arch@ologist and ethnologist of Phila-
delpnia. He inspected it carefully, and
says it is modern, basing his opinion
on both its design and execution. The
aborigines of the United States did not
shade or group their pictures. They
did not represent lightnings shooting
in various directions from a central
point, nor treat the sun as a face.
The lines on the Lenape stone are
obviously cut with a metal instrument,
making clear missions, deepest in the
center and tapering TO points-quite
different from the scratch of a flint
point. Shrewder fabricators than the

unknown aathor of this one make use
offlint points. Some of the western
tablets have been so inscribed. They
may thus conceal their tools, but there
are other resources for the arch9olo-
gists. The surface of all stones under
goes a certain chemical change on ex-
posture TO the air, which is called by
the French term pdtiHe. In many va
~rieties, as tlints, jasper, and hard
shales, this affords i decisive means of
discriminating n modern from an an
cient inscription or arrowhead. 1t re-
quireS the use of the microscope and
some practice. bat with these most of
such impostures can be detected. This
does not exhaust the at the
command of the antiquary to circum-
vent those who would practice on his
love for relics of the past" Mr.. III.
Carvill Lewis, professor of mineralogy,
Academy of Natural Sciences, Phila-
delphia, says the tablet is genuine. but
the drawing is forged from the picture
of a mammoth on a piece OF ivory
found ia the cave of La Madeleine,
Perigord, France. DIR. I. w. Putnam,
curator of the Peabody Museum of
Archaeology, Cambridge, Mass, is
somewhat in doubt, but rather suspects
the hands of a white mar in the draw
ing. DR.. NJ. L. Wadsworth, OF Cam
bridge, Mass, believes the drawing
was made with some steel tool like a
dull awl. Mr.. j. p. Iddings, of the
United States coast survey, notes that
the lines of the drawing appear to have
been arranged with reference to the
fracture of the stone. The author of
this book, however, declares his faith
in its genuineness. The Indications
are that gorget slate stones with Ind
ian scratches upon them have been
found Oh the Hansell farm, but that
this representation of the mammoth is
a forgery C Cincinnati Commercial 90

HOW IT rs DONE.
And How il is Not Done Where the
Truly American Right OF SELF
Choice Is Permitted.

There has been good deal said of
late about "the fastest trains in the
world" and some in interest would
have it appear that all the glory in this
respect effulgated upon q single road.
Indeed that one line absorbing every
thing there was in railroad life worth
living for and all the others simply
hanging on verge Of despair as pre-
carious rs pitible Thus the situation
and because of it from the monopolis-
tic stand point, the full justification OF
q doubling of rates and extra charges
generally anything but conductive to
popular hilarity these days, when not
only dollars but nickles count: In &C
cordance with its characterlstically
American way of doing things, the
Baltimore and Ohio long since estab-
lished as an inviolable principle, the
system of an entire absence Of exact
ing extras upon any of its trains, limi-
ted or otherwise. The 3. & 0. does
not believe in privileged classes, has
never been accused of apeing exclu-
siveness, or in any manner whatever
made it appear that there could be
good and sufficient grounds for only
doing its best in the matter of time and
equipment when paid at double rates
therefor. 1t Is thoroughly well salts
fed to run truly representative Amer
lean trains, accepting for passage
thereon regular tickets at the regular
rates and maintaining time schedule
absolutely without parallel. a strong
statement in the face Of the loud boasts
of competing lines of running ''the
fastest trains in the world" but q com
parison of schedules from and to Wash
ington proves it beyond cavil. The
Chicago Limited leaving at 10 A. NJ,
reaches destination next morning at
$50, quicker than any limited upon
any other road. The Cincinnati Linn
tied leaving at $50 P. NJ, runs
through in the wonderful time of six
teen hours, arriving 7.45 the succeed
ing morning, four hours ahead of any
other limited. The St. Louis Limited
is over an hour faster than any other
limited to that city, as is also the Pitts
burg Limited. East-bound from all
the cities named, the B. & 0. Limited
trains are equally advantageously run
in every instance, making time une-
qualled by the limited train service Of
rival lines, and upon which the prac-
tice of making extra charges and doub-
ling rates is as rigidly adhered to as it
is not on Picturesque B. & O. The
equipment Of the latter line is in every
way of the finest, trains running
through solid and composed Of magni-
fcent new Buffet, Family-room, Sleep
ing, Parlor and Dining cars and ele-
CANT day coaches. On all the B. d O..
Limited trains passengers 60 as they
please, pay their money and take
their choice, and not as upon other
roads running limited trains, compelled
whether or no to take and pay for what
may be provided by those who know
more what the passenger wants than
he does himself.

A PRINTERS DREAM.-A printer sat
in his Office chair: his boots were patch
ed and his coat threadbare, while his
face looked weary and worn with care.
While sadly thinking of business and
debt, old Morpheus slowly around him
crept, and sleeping, he dreamed a
dream that he was dead, from trouble
and toll his spirit had fled, and that
not cow-bell tollcd for the peaceful
rest of his cow-hide soul. As he wan
dered among the snado>, the smoke
and scorch i'll lower Hades. lie shortly
observed an iron door that croaking
swung on hinges ajar, but the entrance
was crossed by Z red-sh0t bar. and
Satan himself stood peopin@ ont and
Watching for travellers thercaN0Ut.
and thus to the passing printer spoke
and with growing voice the echoes
woke:
"Come in, my dear, it shall cost
you nothing, and never fear; this =
the place Where. CT, k he on. $ wI!n
never pay rl',,r Sa s''jIpti'n st;rt3
for, though in lite they may escape,
they wii find when dead it is too late
| will show you the place whore melt
them thin, with rcd-ioi chains a,d

for them 10 drink there's the rct~hot
grindstone to grind down his nose, and
red-hot rings to wear on hiy toes
and if they mention they don't like
fire Pll screw up their mouths with
rod-hot wire; and diem, dear sin, you
should see them squirm while | roll
them over and cook turn" With
these last word the printer awoke and
thought it all u practical Joke, but still
at times, so real did it seem, that he
cannot believe it was all Il dream and
often he thinks with u cbuckle and
grin of those who save their tin and

A Wonderful Clock.

A correspondent OF the Boston Her
aid, who does not take the trouble to
60 into details, contributes this sur
prising information: perhaps the
most wonderful timepiece ever heard of
is clock described by Hindoo Rajah
as belonging to native princess of
Upper India. In front of the clock
disk was gong, swung on poles, and
near it was pile of artificial limbs.
The pile was made up of the full num-
Der of parts of twelve perfect bodies,
but all lay heaped together in
seeming confusion. Whenever the
hands of the clock indicated the hour l,
out from the pile crawled just the num-
Der of parts to form the frame of one
man, part joining itself to part with
quick metallic click; and, when COM
pleted, the figure sprang up, seized a
small mallet, and, walking up to the
gong, struck 1, the first hour. When
2 o'clock came, two men rose up and
did likewise; and so through all the
hours of the day, the number of figures
being the same as the number of the
hour, till at noon and midnight the en-
tire heap sprang up, and, marching to
the gong, struck one after another,
each a blow, making twelve in all, and
then fell to pieces again"

Brooklyn Eagle: It is amusing to
see what efforts France and Germany
are both making to keep the peace by
preparing for war. For ten years
there has not been such activity as
France is now displaying in the crea-
ton of her navy. At the present mo-
ment four iron-clads, two being turret
ships, are in the course of construction.
In the meantime Germany is busy with
her Notifications. Her experiences in
the late war have led her to adopt a
certain model of fortification to which
all the great forts have been assimilat-
ed. Strasburg, Metz, Mains, Koln
and Posen have been thoroughly forsi-
fed after this model. Kustrin is at
present being reconstructed. The city
is historically interesting. as being the
scene of Frederick the Greats impris-
onment during his fathar's reign, bnt
much of the old building will be pulled
down, and camp capable Of accom-
modrting 10000 men will be land out.
1t is to DO protected by six forts, each
at distance Of four miles from the
own,
