Significance Of the Nose.

The nose, the form Of which regulates
the beauty Of the other features, is by
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 o is capable of re-
ceiving q more noble form. The train
ing Of the individual, the culture Of his
intellect and character, has q very con-
siderable influence not only on the ex-
preston Of the face in 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 q certain gracious
and cheerful naivete combined with an
inconsiderate curiosity. Such q nose
seldom is possessed by men, and when
1t is it denotes an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
acterized by weakness and deficient sa-
gacity. A nose thick and fat is an UNI
favorable feature with men as we'll as
with women, usually signifying that
the character is predominated by mate
rial and sensual instincts, while a turn
cd. up nose, with wide nostrils, bespeaks
9 vain, pulled up disposition. Especial
" 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

~ BRILLIANT French Omcer's First Achieve.
msnt ON Field Of Battle.

u. BRILLIANT ErepOh OfaoorA ElrSt Achieve
msnt ON the Field OF Rattle.
Lejeune, the brilliant aid.de-cnlmp
Of the Marshals Berthier, Davout and
Oudinot, gives q 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 Lejeune. who was anxious to
participate in the engagement, was
greatly disappointed when he was or
deredst to remain at his post in the rear.
When the firing began, his heart beat
4ufiously, 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 rnnoticed, he hur-
ried forward, forgetting that the sol.
idier's first duty is obedience, and just
where the fray seemed to be thickest he
found himself face to face with his COM
handing officer. The general looked at
the rash young soldier coldly.
"Since you have quilted your post"
he said, .syou may take this order and
recall that company that has gone into
q bad position"
Lejeune heard the order with q.
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 o quaking
heart.
For some distance he crept along be-
hind q pile Of rocks that protected him
from the fro 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.
To 60 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 O coward or q
hero?
If I die," thought he, sit will be
only the just penalty Of my disobedi-
ence; il I accomplish my mission, I
shall have proved that I am worthy yet
to fight in the emperor's army"
So thinking, he rushed across the
open space amid a storm Of cannon balls
and musket shot. Not one Of tho mes
sengers Of death touched him, and Us il
by o 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.

EMINENCE OF THE HOG

THE STOCK YARDS IN JANUARY.
Greater Shipments than Ever Before
Dressed-Meat lndustry-HOrse
Sales-FIOur Output.

1t is stated that more hogs were killed
by the local packing houses in the month Of
January than ever before in any one
month, and this statement is verified by
the fact that the shipments from the Indi-
annapolis stock yards to the local packing
houses were 91,S5l head of hogs, besides
several thousand brought in by wagons
from the surrounding territory Lafayette
Fletcher the oldest packer in the city,
states that he has never known the hogs
killed to be fatter and in more healthy
condition than this season. Since Nov /,
the beginning of the winter packing sea-
son. there has been killed at Indianapolis
426,0OO hogs, against 325 900 for the corre-
spending period last year AT all points re-
porting there has been killed 6.5S5,00 hogs,
against $4,000 last year.
In dressed meats, as well, larger bust
ness than ever before was done, as Kingan
IL Co. and the abattoirs are shipping more
dressed meats than at any previous time,
the business steadily growing, the city
deliveries of cattle reaching 6,S92 head
The following shows the number of hogs
killed at the nineteen points which make
weekly reports, thus far in the winter
packing season, which begins Nov l and
ends March /:

Horse Sales Increasing.

indianapolis is rapidly reaching the point
where more horses are sold at the weekly
sales than at any other market in this or
foreign countries, the sales at the auction
stables in January being 3940 head, and full
~ 1900 horses We're sold for export. Mr..
Blair, of Blair & Baker, states that there
were buyers for seven different foreign
markets in attendance at the recent COM
bination sale, in which 800 head of horses
We're sold in three days. For foreign mar
kets there is big demand for fine carriage
horses and heavy draft horses. There has
been in the last few weeks a decided i'm
provement in the market as TO prices paid.
Fine steppers and SNOWY carriage horses
bring as good prices they ever did. and
the more common horses as well are bring
ing better prices.s Within the past ten days
horses have been shipped to London. Paris,
Belgium, Glasgow Norway, and Mexico is
now buying horses in United States mar
kets. Indianapolis now has secured such a
prestige as horse market that it is pre-
dicted in the near future it will be the lar
gest market in the world. Negotiations are
pending which will probably result in the To-
eating of more large sales stables at In
dianapols.
