HAWK Nose- a Very ola Feature.

1t is mistake to suppose that the
hawk nose is confined to Hebrew own
ers, though the persistence Of the quail
tiles which it indicates makes it most
frequent in the race which it principally
adorns. A pictorial addition to the his
tory of these noses was recently discov-
cred in a graphic caricature drawn by
the clerk Of the court on the edge of a
fifteenth century record Of a plaintiff
whose nationality the least expert mas
ologists' would have at once detected,
without the legend, Aaron filius dia-
boil, ;" which the artist had been at pains
TO inscribe beneath It, But the hawk
nose" is at least equally the possession
of the Syrian and the Syrian Arab, as it
was of the PhUuiciau of old-all shrewd,
money getting races.
Vespasian possessed it in perfection,
and though it is news to us that when
young he retrieved his ruined fortune
by horse dealing, a science always no
torious for its INSCRIPTIONS dealing and
sharp, dishonest practice" he was de.
scended from thoroughly business par
ent and bequeathed his carefulness in
money matters to his son Titus.-Lon-
don Spectator.

To review the work of Columbus
without referring to that of Vespucius
and Magellan would leave the story Of
new sea and world discovery discon.
nected and incomplete. This win be
patent when it is remembered that,
though believer in the rotundity Of the
earth it was not Columbus but Magel-
Ian who first physically demonstrated
that fact by circunnavigation. And Ma
gellan might have failed but for the pre-
vious work Of Vespucius. The latter
had explored the Atlantic coast of South
America farther south than any Of his
predecessors, and the south Atlantic
ocean eastward to the islands Of South
Georgia, nearly to the parallel Of Cape
Horn
By this journey Vespucius demonstrate
ed with considerable degree Of Ger
tainty that the strait, which had for some
years been looked for, leading to the
elusive unknown sea that bounded the
eastern coast Of Asia, was not to be found
through the new lands Of the west north
of "a degrees south, at all events The
mouth Of the Amazon, the bays of Rio
Janeiro and Of the La Plata had been
explored and were found TO contain
fresh water, 50 that through none Of
these could an entrance to the unknown
sea on the farther west be found

One end Of tde apple bears the name
of "basin" and contains the remnants
Of the blossom-sometimes called the
eye of the fruit. This part Of the apple
is deep in some varieties and shallow and
open in others. This is the weakest point
in the whole apple as concerns the ques-
ton Of the keeping quality of the fruit.
If the basin is shallow and the canal to
the core firmly closed, there is much less
likelihood Of the fruit decaying than
when it is deep, and the evident opening
connects the center Of the fruit with the
surface.-Professo b. d. Halsted in
Popular Science Monthly.

A curious story Of treasure trove comes
from Rome. The Order of Benedictine
Monks, while digging the foundation Of
their new monastery ON the Aventine hill
which is to be dedicated to st. StanisIaus,
found what they took to be an earthen pot
full Of common coins, which the monks
hawked about, selling them for a franc
apiece. This fact would have passed unno-
ticed, but the brethren quarreled over their
booty, and the police interfering captured
over 40 of the pieces out of the original 400
coins, which turned out 10 be gold medals
Of great value. Everybody connected with
the find has been arrested except one work
man, who managed to escape with 60 med
ais of the date Of the second century and
struck by the senate and people of Rome in
honor of the conquest of Armenia by Lu-
cius Verus.-New York Recorder.

A Gigantic Tombstone.

One of the largest tombstones in the
world is to be found over the grave Of a
Georgia hermit named Scarlet, who be-
fore he died selected monstrous gran
tie bowlder, 100 by $50 feet, and directed
that he be buried under it. A small
cave was excavated beneath this minia-
ture mountain, Scarlet directing the
work. 1t remained thus for some years,
and when he died he was entombed
there, and the bowlder remains as his
headstone.-New York Recorder

1t il all very wen for a travelling man
to be on his dignity, but if he overdoes
it he is apt TO encounter the fall before
which, we are told, pride goeth. When
| first went on the road, | had a mortal
objection to the word drummer and
resented the term whenever applied to
me. On my second journey called upon
an old fashioned merchant in Texas
town whose name was on our books and
to whom my predecessor had always sold
large bills. introduced myself with a
good deal of dignity and handed him my
card.
"Oh, you're IS new drummer" re-
marked the old gentleman in a some
what patronizing tone. was nettlel
considerably, and correcting him said:
mo, / am their travelling man. am
not a drummer
The merchant was quite as good at
repartee as | was, and looking at me
half in pity and half in contempt he
said with a sneer, which he made no at
tempt to disguise;
ooh, that's so, is it? Well, was look
ing out for IS drummer, bHt if you
amt he I've nothing for you"
No amount Of persuasion or apologiz-
ing had any effect on the old gentleman,
to whom the representative of rival
house sold first class bill the same aft
ernoon. The lesson was not thrown
away on me, and now man can call
me a Hottentot, provided he accompa-

FEEDING VALUE OF BRAN,

Bran, whether of wheat or rye, is of
itself perfect food, that is, it contains
all the elements of animal nutrition, and
in such proportions as are needed for
every animal product, with the sole ex.
ception of sulphur. It. is rich in bone.
r.aking materials, as lime and phosphorlc
acid, and has a ratio of heterogeneous to
carbo.h ydrates exactly fitted for COM
plete nutrition. This is St of the latter
to one of the former. Its relative value
as compared with othur foods in money
is IL per 100 pounds, and it has three
per cent. of fat. But it is not quite so
digestible as the whole grains from
which it IS derived. Consequently it
should be fed with other kinds of food
that are richer in starch and fat. Thus
the best way of feedingit is when mixed
In equal proportions with oatmeal, which
is better than any one of the oil meals.
Four pounds of each of these two foods
is usual quantity for days feeding
for COW. For sheep, which require
more sui hur than other animals, on &C.
count of the quantity of this that is con-
tanned in the fleece, some linseed meal
may be added, and clover hay or roots,
which, being rich in sulphur, may be fed
with bran to advautage.-New York
Times.

Keeping GERANIUMS IN WINTER.

In its natural state the geraliun is
plant which is never wholly at rest; it
is, however, very amenable to treatment
in cultivation aal very patient under bad
usage. Wick, in his illustrated monthly,
says on the subject of keeping geranium5
in winter:
"fhe proper treatment for bcdded
plants intended for another seasons
planting, after taking up and potting,
is to stand them in a light place IN a
temperature secure from frost and yet
not high enough to excite active growth.
4 very little water Ill be sufficient dur
ing the cold season. When the weather
becomes mild and the plants start to
grow, regulate the growth and dispo-
sition OF the branches and thus prepare
them for planting at the proper season.
But one may not have the facilities to
care for the plants in this manner, AMI
yet want to preserve then. A damp Gel
lar is not a suitable place and may cause
them to mold and decay.
"Tae plants when taken ~ can be
placed in boxes, most Of the foliage can
be removed. the soil be made only
little damp; then place the box or boxes
in q dry frost proof cellar where there
will be some light. Tne leaves will SOFA
all fail. By the first Of March it will be
best to place the boxes containing the
plants in the window Of a moderately
warm room and give water and start the
plants into growth

Watch Cases Gnd Dia1s.

The process Of making gold cases
is interesting. The 14-karat cases,
which are the most popular, are made
of gold to which an alloy of copper
and silver has been added. A fame
of gas quickly reduces the metal to a
liquid.
This is poured into bar molds Of
various sizes, and when it is hardened
the metal is placed under ponderous
rolls and reduced to the desired thick
ness One Of the machines will re-
duce a bar Of gold into a sheet
i-1000th of an inch thick.
The sheets are then sent to the
turner's who shape the cases. Joint.
ers then solder the parts together and
add the receptacles for the springs,
which are inserted by workmen who
are known as springers. If the case
is to contain a decoration in relief,
the design is then soldered on, and
the case is delivered to the engraver.
Engraving cases frequently adds
one-thlrd to their cost. Last of all
the cases are sent to the polisher, and
when they leave his hands they are
ready for the market.
The making Of watch dials is also
interesting. Those made by machin-
cry are rapidly produced A steel
plate is first engraved with the de.
sired figures and lines.
BY means Of wax matriX a copy
of this plate is taken and electro
typed. The pigment is placed on the
electro plate and thin coat of COLO
dion is placed over it, being distrib-
uted by centrifugal force.
A sheet of paper placed on the COL
lodion before it dries, adheres, and
when removed withdraWs the colo.
dion and the pigment, thus leaving a
negative on the paper.
This paper is then placed on a
blank watch dial, and after being
slowly pressed into position the dial
Is placed in furnace. The heat de-
stroys the paper and the collodion
penetrates the enamel of the dial,
producing on it the design. In this
manner the most intricate designs
are transferred. Jewellers Weekly.

FARM AND GARCEN NOTES.

No ventilation is as injurious to fowls
as draughts.
Young chickens have small crops and
must be fed frequently.
"Ivory' is considered one of the best
of the white chrysanthemums.
1t does not pay to raise onions on the
same land for succession of years.
The s'M-s. W. G. Whitney rose is
rose colored and emjts delicate odor.
The geranium is an excellent window
bloomer and requires comparatively lit
tie care.
Hens that are kept quiet and tame will
nearly always make better layers aud
mothers.
One reason for hens not laying at this
season is that they are often too crowded
in their quarters.
Many good authorities believe that fall
calves can be better raised than spring
ones, the argument beng that calves
coming now are kept in the barn and
well fed, thus getting a good start to
make the best of the grazing season next
year.
Saltpeter is an effective remedy to
check the ravages of the cabbage
worm. Make quite a strong solution
and sprinkle the plants. Tnis will kill
the worms, and it will also prevent the
butterfly from depositlng its eggs on the
plants.
Those who have decided to give their
stock good feed and good care this win.
ter should look the stock over now, and
decide which will not be likely to pay
for them. Almost every farm has some
s'scalawags" on it that ought to BIZ
called out.
1t is an old adage that "no one is SO
far from market as he who has nothing
to SELL" And observers have often
noticed that the men most concerned
about low prices were those who had
grown poor crops. The wise farmer
grows good crops and lets the market
adjust itself.
