Significance of the Nose.

The nose, the form Of which regulates
the beauty of the other features. is bv
no means inaccessible to higher culture.
for we have it on the authority of a
German physician that it is beyond dis
pute that during half Of an individual
human life the nose is capable of re-
celving a more noble form. The train
ing OF the individual, the culture of his
intellect and character, has very con-
siderable influence not only on the ex-
preston of the face i'll general, but also
ON the bodily nature Of the nose. The
characteristics Of the various shapes Of
nose, according to physiognomy, are as
follows: The small, fiat nose found
among women and called the soubrette
nose, when occurring with an other
wise agreeable and fortunate build of
features, indicates certain gracious
and cheerful naivete combined with an
lnconsiderate curiosity. Such a nose
seldom Is possessed by men, and when
1t Is 1t denotes an individuality char
acterized by weakness and deficient sa-
gaclty. A nose thick and fiat is an IN
favorable feature with men as well as
with women, usually signifying that
the character is predominated by mate
rial and sensual instincts, while turn
ed up nose, with wide nostrils, bespeaks
vain, puffed up disposition. Especial
ly wide nostrils are signs of strength,
courage and pride; small nostrils, of
weakness and timidity. Noses large in
every respect are found mostly among
men and are masculine attributes

RULES FOR CANDY MAKING.
Mrs. Rorer Tells How Connections May Be
Made at Home.

Mrs. ROrer Tells How Connections May Be
Made at Home.
Mrs. S. T. Rorer tells how to make
candies at home in The Ladies' Home
Journal and gives the following rules,
which insure the success of the work:
Never stir the sugar and water after
the sugar has dissolved. Wipe down
constantly the granules forming on the
side of the saucepan. Do not shake or
move the saucepan while the sirup is
boiling. AS soon as the sugar begins to
boil watch it carefully, having in your
hand a bowl of ice water, so that you
may try the sirup almost constantly.
Have everything in readiness before be-
ginning If the sugar grains, use it for
old fashioned cream candy or sugar
taffy. 1t cannot be used for fondant.
Use only the best granulated sugar for
boiling and confectioners' xxx for
kneading. If your fondant grains with
out apparent cause, you may have boil
ed it little too long. A few drops of
lemon juice or little cream of tartar
will prevent this. Fondant is the soft
mixture which forms both the inside Of
the French candies and the material in
which they are dipped, and it is to OBJ
tain this that the sugar is boiled.
after the sugar has reached the
soft ball, semihard condition, it
must be poured carefully into a large
meat plate or on a marble slab. Do not
scrape the saucepan or you will granu-
late the sirup. Make your fondant one
day and make it up into candy the next.
Never melt fondant by placing the
saucepan Immediately ON the stove.
Prevent the danger of scorching by
standing the pan containing it in ba-
sin of water. If the melted fondant is
too thick, add water most cautiously, a
drop at a time. A half teaspoonful more
than is necessary will ruin the whole.
To cool candy place it in cool, dry
place. To keep candy put it between
layers of waxed paper in tin boxes. If
the day is bright and clear, the sugar
loses its sickness quickly; therefore
select q fine day for your candy max
ing"

HE DISOBEYED ORDERS.
A Brilliant French Officers First Achiove-
ment on the Field of Battle.

men6 on the Field of Battle,
Lejeune, the brilliant aid-de-camn
Of the Marshals Berthier, Davout and
Oudinot, gives very interesting ac-
count Of his first achievement ON the
field Of battle. The French army was
crossing the Alps and found itself COM
PEELED to attack at a great disadvantage
town which the Austrians were de-
Tending.
Young Lejeuna who was anxious to
participate in the engagement, was
greatly disappointed when he was Or
dered to remain at his post in the rear.
When the firing began, his heart beat
turlously, and as the attack progressed
he felt that he could not remain passive
while his fellow soldiers were perform
ing deeds of valor
believing himself unnoticed, he hur-
ried forward, forgetting that the sol
dler's first duty is obedience, and lust
where the fray seemed to be thickest he
found himself face to face with his COM
manding officer. The general looked at
the rash young soldier coldly.
Since you have quilted your post"
he said, "you may take this order and
recall that company that has gone into
a bad position. ?"
Lejeune heard the order with
strange sensation, for this was an er
rand from which he was not likely to
return alive. There was no escape, how
ever, and touching his cap he started ON
his perilous mission with a quaking
heart.
For some distance he crept along be-
hind pile of rocks that protected him
from the fire Of the enemy, but at last
this shelter came to an end. Before him
there remained 100 steps to be taken
under the fire of 200 guns pointed
straight at him.
10 go forward was, he believed, GER
tain death. To go back would be eter
nal disgrace. The whole army seemed
like an amphitheater around him.
Should he prove himself a coward or a
hero?
"If die" thought he, "it will be
only the just penalty Of my disobedi-
ence; II l accomplish my mission, 1
shall have proved that I am worthy yet
to fight in the emperor's army. r."
So thinking, he rushed across the
open space amid storm Of cannon balls
and musket shot. Not one of the mes
sengers of death touched him, and as if
by miracle he arrived safe and sound
in the French lines The delivery of
that order saved the battalion and de-
cided the destiny of the young officer.

1t was intended that MARYLAND shonld

call his state New Wales, but afterward
decided upon Sylvania, to which the
KING prefiXed the word Penn. In 1784
an ordinance was drawn up as follows.
The territory northward of the fortv-
fifth degree-that is to say. of the com.
pletion Of the forty-fifth degree from

REFUSED A MAN A GRAvE.-The
feeling against Cephas Miller, the col
Ored man who was accused of shoot
ing John Lockwood during the fight
at the colored festival at Lewes,
Thanksgiving night, and who was
himself killed, is so strong that the
managers of the colored cemeteries re-
fused to allow his body to be inferred
and Undertaken Adkins was compelled
to find ground for the grave on the

Swine were adored in Crete, weasels
at Thebes, rats and mice in Troas, por-
cupines i'll Persia, the lapwing in New
Mexico, bulls in Benares, serpents in
Greece and many of the African coun-
tries. The HindOos never molest snakes.
They call them fathers, brothers, friends
and other endearing names. On the
coast of Guinea a hog happening to kill

No MORE "SPITTING ON THE FLOOR. &"
The Board of Health of Wilmington,
have posted in all public places in the
city, signs prohibiting splitting on the
floors. The cards have been placed in
the City Hall, Court House, Federal
building, railroad stations, street cars
and various other places. In taking
this step the board is following larger
cities, the health authorities claiming
that many diseases are caused by per-
sons splitting in public places.
