What > N a noScf
Shakespeare might better have pro-
pounded that question than the n he
did. for a nose is of infinitely greater inn
portance than a name. Truly a rose by
any other name would smell as sweet,
but would a beauty with any other nose
look as swectl
Not much.
Add hut a trile to the end of your
nose and see what a change It makes.
Shave off but the thinucst slice from
either edge. and behold the altered APP
pcarance. Flatten it with the slightest
pressure and watch the result. Twist ii
to right or left the shadow of a milliontt
part Of a degree and your handsome
mans beauty is forever destroyed. II
has been called, and rightly, too, the
rudder or the dial of the face. An au-
thority OF physiognomy Says If the
beauty Of the nose depends on its shape,
its power is regulated by its length,
which ought never to be less than one
third of the profile, measured from the
roots of the hair to the tips Of the chin.
Should it exceed that proportion so much
the better, for we are assured that when
ever two persons, the n having a large
nose and the other a small one, come
into collision, the latter must yield, un.
less it is Of the feminine gender and takes
an upward turn. Chicago Times.

IelccranhN by tho Clouds.

4 remarkable experiment in signaling
with electric lights was recently made
by the officers of two vessels OF tho Brit
ish navy. the Orion and the Espoir, of
the port Of Singapore. The Espoir had
sailed from that port for Hong Kong,
leaving the Orion in the harbor OF Singa-
pore. When the Esroir was sixty miles
distant the Orion sent her u message by
means Of the electric light.
But can n light be seen sixty miles at
sea? Certainly not, in its direct rays;
but the Orion threw O brilliant blaze Of
light upon the clouds, and the reflection
OF this light was distinctly seen on board
the Espoir. Moro than this, the Orion,
having thrown upon the clouds a regular
message by means of successive flashes,
this message was read and understood ON
board the Espoir. The question has been
asked whether this means OF communi-
cation might not DO made OF practical
advantage.-Youth's Companion

Tho Manufacture Of MacaronL.

MaCaroni is a preparation of fine wheat
flour made into a peculiar paste or dough
and then manufactured into pipes or
tubes MacaronI is Of Italian invention
and las long been known as a delicacy
among the sons and daughters o. sunny
Italy The chief places Of the Old World
in which this article of food is manufact-
urcd are Naples and Genoa, but ii is o
q recognized industry in New York.
To q reporter the largest manufactures
i'm New York and in fact in the United
States recently stated that the process
was simple aud hat the amount of CAPT
i4I REQUIRED TO establish and conduct the
manufacture Of macaroni was very
limited After the wheat has been prop
erly ground the -four i mixed into dough
This is then thoroughly kneaded. After
the dough has been rendered perfectly
smooth it is next to be reduced to thin
cylinders, ribbons or tubes, according as
IL is 10 be- converted into vermiCelH or
macaroni For the latter, however, a
somewhat less compact dough is required
than for the former.

vessel Of cast iron is required, having its
bottom perforated with large or small
holes on Sits as may be needed. When
the cylinder is filled with paste a piece Of
wood or "a plate of iron that exactly fits
it Is forced in by means of a powerful
press. and the paste Is thus driven
through the perforated bottom Of the
cylinder, taking the shape Of the perfor-
atious. Macaroni is sometimes forced
through the holes in the form Of pipes,
bat IL is oftener in hllcts. which are
formed into tubes by joining their edges
together before they have time to be-
come dry. The macaroni is partially
baked during this manufacture. Ia a
few days it is dry enough for use. For
vcrmicclli the holes in the cylinder are
smaller aud the dough is mor tenacious.
The paste is forced slowly through the
holes. and when the threads have
reached tine length OF a foot they are
broken off and twisted into any desired
shape on q piece Of paper. 1t IS used at

The Truthful Yarn that is Spun by a
 Veracious OregoRian.
 From San Francisco Examiner.1
 'I was reading something in your paper about snakes the other day." said J. D. Andrews, an Oregon pioneer. "Let me tell you of peculiar experience I had with snakes. have farm on the Mollolla, a few miles from Oregon City, near an oblong, roek-covered hill called Rattlesnake Hill, which for years has just been swarming with them. In the spring, when the weather gets warm, rattlesnakes come out of the lodges and drift down on the creek bottoms, be- coming very troublesome. My farm being only three miles away these reptiles become each year more and more troublesome, en- dangering especially the lives of my children, who, despite all could do, would persist in going about bare-footed
 "We1, ayear ago last spring they swarmed into my wheat field so thickly that couldn't cut it when it was ripe. This may sound odd to you, but it is fact. But got some of my neighbors 70 help me, and I plowed sev- eral furrows around the field, and then laid hair ropes around it and set fire to the wheat. Well, of all the siZzing and frying and strange squawks and noises you ever heard, we had them there. Such a lot of rattling and leaping up and displaying forked tongues, don't think anybody ever before saw. Of course, they ran from the fire, but the hair rope on the further side turned them, until we had complete circle of fire around them.
 "Well, when the wheat was burned Off there wers thousands of dead Iattlesnakes. They were thicker in the middle than any where else, and were twisted and tied to- gether in knots and punches almost as tight barrel. l guess we must have made clean sweep of them that time, for they have never put in an appearance there since

A HOME FOR CATS.
How Philadelphia Provides for Fl
 Decrepit FelInes.

How Philadelphfa Provides for HRer
 DecrePit Felines.
 One of the most unique of Philadelphia's institutions is the Refuge for Lost and Suf- fering Animals, more commonly called the ''Cat Home," at l, ,242 Lombard street. The Refuge" says the Inquirer, does an e1ten- sive business in providing easy nortuary honors for old, decrepit and vagrant felines, who are daily despatched by the fumes of charcoal. It Is g feature of the woman's branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and is in charge of Superintendent John 0. West. Superinten- dent Vests report for 1887 shows that Il ,371 cats met 8 painless death, together with 2, 159 dogs, four rats, three rabbits, three canary birds and two chickens. All the latter were killed at the request of the own- CTS. Boarders are also taken in the shape of pet cats whose owners leave the city, or who desire that they should have good care in their declining days. The charge per week is fifty cents, and the menu consists of milk, fish and bread twice each day. They are kept in latticed inclosure, and barring the occasional differences that arise between them seem to enjoy their quarters. When an animal is received as boarder its name, Il l1 dths oAS, ID HSSlStoIeu, dS lS luab O1 1tS owner, and all the personal marks and pecal- iarities it may possess. No responsibility, however, is assumed in case of sickness or death, of the animal in charge Anyone having cat they wish mercifully put to death has but to send werd to the refuge and Frank Ryan, who rejoices in the title of "cat messenger" will call and remove the cat, carrying it away in large basket, divided within by partitions each large enough for one animal. This is done to prevent family jars and internal conflicts which would rem der Mir. Ryan's position irksome No charge is made, but established custom is the payment of car fare. "We don't kill all the cats," explained Superintendent Vest "We often come across very good animals in some of the patches of kittens we receive These we always pick out and experience no difficulty in finding them good homes. We are frequently consulted as to remedies for sick animals and are often asked to re- ceive them at the refuge, but that respon- sibility we have to decline. This want has been supplied by the generous gift of $70, 900 by the late Mrs. R. W. Ryerss, who bequeath ed that amount to establish an in6rmary for animals, which is entirely distinct from the refuge"

In fhc Congo Regien.

When Stanley began his work on the Congo it was with the greatest difficulty that he procured the services of fifty na- tives to help him open the road around the cataracts to Stanley Pool. The growth of the Congo enterprise and changes for the better in the habits and disposition of the natives are shown by the fact that during the three months beginning last June 5,897 porters left Matadi. at the head of navigation on the lever river, with loads destined for Stanley Pool. The larger part of their freight was two new steamboats,
 one belonging to the Congo State and the other to the company that is now survey ing a route for the railroad. All these DOT ters were hired st Lukungu and Manganga,
 the two largest places on the road to Stan ley Posl. Recruiting officers are kept there to engage pcrters, and men come in from all the country around to enlist in the work and get some of the white mems merchan- dise The werk for porters to do has out grown the provisions thus far made for supplying carriers, and that is the reason that Bishop Y. A. Taylor's steamboat was
