Sianiacance- -o9 flle Nose.

The nose, the form of which regulates the beauty of tho other features, is by no means inaccessible to higher culture, for we have it on tho authority of 8 German physician that it Is beyond dis pate that during half of an individual human life the nose is capable of re- ceiving Q more noBIo 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- pression of the face in general, but also on the bodily nature of tho nose. The characteristics of the various shapes of nose, according to physiognomy, are as follows: The small flat nose found among women and called the soabrette nose, when occurring with an other wise agreeable and fortunate build Of features, indicates @ certain gracious and cheerful naivete combined with an inconsiderate curiosity. Such nose seldom is possessed by men, and when 1t is it denotes an individuality char acterized by weakness and deficient sa- gacity. A nose thick and fiat is an un- 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, puf2ed up disposition. Especial ly wide nostrils are signs of strength, courage and pride; small nostrils, of weakness and timidity. Noses large in every respect arc found mostly among men and are masculine attributes.

Sheen TIelEa.

Every ore who has sheep knows the tick, the worst pest of this animal, that does serious harm to the young lambs without suspicion of the cause to the shepherd This reddish brown creature is a wingless fly and very greedy blood sucker. A dozen of them on a lamb will quickly suck the little one dry. It is to be looked after at the time of shearing, when these insects go for shelter to the lambs It is found mostly where the animal cannot reach it--on it's head, buried in the skin sucking the blood.
 Its skin is tough, and it is not easily crushed with less than blow of ham, mer In small hocks it is not much of job to go through, with a pair of small scissors to cut the ticks in two, but where the flock is over a score it will be necessary to dip the lambs Exchange.

Sinking Enmen Prey.

The Goerkha, with his catlil.e faci'. ity for taking cover. aided by his small size and his sleuthhound persistence in following an eyasiye fee, has always been all annoyance to the stalw&rt Pa than.
 On one occasion two Goorkha scouts were told off to drive away two Af- ghans who, from a neighboring sum- init, were "sniping" at a passing col u1nn. The column reached its camp aft CT midnight, and when roll was called the two Goorkhas were missing.
 Their comrades mourned them for few hours, but at daybreak the two turned up. very tired, very hungry and very thirsty, but radiant.
 We got them both, D they said.
 Few men but Goorkhas would have enjoyed the sport of stalking enemies in their own country until they "got them both. n-Pearson's Weekly.

Cork Legs Were Scarce.

One day in 1880 Senator Hampton was going on his erutches from tne sen ale chamber to the house of represen ea- lives. In the middle of the big rosunda be met q very large man, also on crutch- es He was member of congress from Illinois, Republican, whose name l cannot now recall. Hampton stopped him and kindly asked his name and how he had received his injury. After oiving his name the congressman sad amputation was necessary by reason or a shot he had received in a fght with Hampton's cavalry. He did not dream he was talking to Wade Hampton hlm- self 1T am Wade Hampton" said the senator "If you have the leisure, please sit down and let us talk. Hampton had lost his leg after the war, when thrown from mule while deer hunt ing. The amputation was identical with that of the congressman, and they fell a-talking. Up to that time neither had found cork leg he could wear, and tbev discussed cork legs for a great while. They parted, after mutual pro fessions of esteem. The next morning heard the congressman tell the story in fhe committee room, and there never was 2 man who had higher regard for Wade Hampton than he had. believe Hampton later found leg he could wear.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

A MORNING GLORY CULT.

This Flower Taking the Place of Chrys-
 anthemums In Japan.
 Miss Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore has an article on 'fThe Wonderful Morning Glories of Japan" in The Century. Miss Scidmore says:
 As a floral sensation the chrysanlhe- mum may be said to have had its day, tho earnation is going, going, and seek CTS after novelty among flower fanoiers are signing for new flower to conquer. It is hardly known, even to foreign res- idents in Japan, that that land, which has given us so much of art and beauty, has lately revived the culture of it's most remarkable flower, the asagao, our morning glory. For size, beauty, range of color and illimitable variety there attained this surr.Ae flower preoedes all others until it's cultivation has become craze, which is likely to spread to other countries. and-who knows-per- haps there introduce the current Jap anese custom of 5 o'clock in the morn ing teas and garden parties.
 Asagao, the morning flower, is more especially Japan's own blossom than the ehrysanthemum, which, like it, came from China as @ primitive sort of weed, afterward to be evolved by Jap anese art or magic into floral wonder of hundred varying forms.
 We who know and grow the nA4n- ing glory as a humble back yal.- vine on a string-a vine with leaves like those of the sweet potato and puny little pink or purple howers-are as far in the floral darkness as the Chinese, who know it chiefly as wild thing of fields and hedge rows, the vine of the little trumpets'' or the dawn flower, that is entangled with briers and bushes for miles along the top of Picking walls. The old poetry and the old art do not seem to be permeated with it, as ln Japan, where the forms of vases, bowls and cups. the designs and paintings of the greatest masters, repeat the graceful lines of vine and flower, and scores Of famous poems celebrate the asagao iR written characters as beautiful to the eye as is their sound to the ear.
 The asagar was brought to Japan with the Buddhist religion, that partic- ular cult of early rising. Scholars and priests who Welt over to study the new religion broughs back the seeds of many Chinese plants The tea plant came then, and Eisai brought the seeds of the sacred Do tree. and Tai Kwan tho Chi nese priest at the Obaku temple in Uji, who may have introduced the flower to Japan, was one .f the first to sing of the asagao in graceful outas, classic poems which scholarly brushes repeat today. Asagaos bloom and fade so quickly, only to prepare for the mor- row glory, is Tai Kwan's best known versa

MAKING ARTIFICIAL ICE.
How the Plants Are Constructed and Op-
 eratcd In Philadelphia.

Artificial cold or ice may be most readily produced by tho evaporation of a more or less volatile liquid. In the first machines constructed this liquid was water. One-tenth of the amount of water used was converted into ice, but as 1t was necessary to maintain yac- uum in the apparatus its perfect work ing was a difficult problem. A more readily volatile liquid, therefore, had to be substituted, such as liquefed sul- phurous acid and liquefied ammonia. Being gaseous at ordinary temperatures, they are very suitable substances for this purpose. The ammonia ice machine is the one in most general use-in fact, it finds exclusive application i'll this city. This liquefed ammonia is allowed to expand in coils of pipes which are placed in tanks filed with brine. The temperature of the brine is thus reduced to point below the freezing point of water-that is, to 14-18 degrees F.
 In this refrigerated brine are placed galvanized iron tanks having the shape of the large cakes of ice which one is accustomed to see in the wagons that pass through our city streets After a period of 48-50 hours this can of water is converted into solid ice. The can is hoisted out of the brine, warmed with hot water, which allows the cake to slip out upon a shoot that runs into the storage rooms. The gaseous ammonia in the pipes can be used over and over again, large compression engine being Q part of the plant, which reduces the expense of the process. From this de- scription it should be plain that there can be no taint of ammonia to give taste to the ice.
 The plants usually employ distilled or artesian water, so that the ice is of the best quality. Whatever impurities the water contains are collected in tha white streak found in the center of each cake. The pure water separates from the impure and freezes first. Even ten years ago the demand for ice was sup piled from natural sources, the har- vests from our own Pennsylvania riv- CTS, which were stored every winter in great houses on the shores of the streams, being supplemented by shipments throughout the summer from Maine. There are now in Philadelphia 6 ice making plants, some of which yield over 100 tons per day each, and the arti-
 1cial product for several years has been a serious competitor of the natural arti- observation-disclosures

HE OlsoBEYED ORDERS.
A Brilliant French ofaaer's First Achieve
 ment on the Field of Battle.


 ment on the Field of Battle.
 Leieune, the brilliant aid-de-camp of the Marshals Befthier, Davout and Oudinot, gives very interesting ae- count cf his first achievement on the field of battle. The French army was crossing the Alps and found itself con- pelled to attack at Q great disadvantage a town which the Austrians were de- lending.
 Young Leieune. 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 furiously, 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 nur- ried forward, forgetting that the sol dier's first duty is obedience, and just where tho fray seemed to be thickest he found himself face to face with his eonl- 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 bad position. U
 Lejeune heard the order with a strange sensation, for this was an CT 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 quaking heart.
 For some distance he crept along be- hind a pile of rocks that protected him from the fire of the enemy, but at last this shelter came to al end. Before him there remained 100 steps to be taken under tho fire of 200 guns pointed straight at him.
 To go forward was. he believed, cer- tain death To go back would be eter- nal disgrace. The whole army seemed like an amphitheater around him. Should he prove himself Q coward or q hero?
 "H I die. thought he, it will be only the just penalty of my disobedi- enee; if I accomplish my mission, shall have proved that I am worthy yet to fight in the emperor's army. "
 So thinking, he rushed across the open space amid 0 storm of cannon balls and musket shot. Not one of tho mes sengers of death touched him, and as if by a 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.

The Fourth Michigan Cavalry His Cap-
 tors-Those With the Ex-President at
 the Time-Exaggerated Stories of Hia
 Disguise.
 Our cavalry corps went into camp in and around Macon, and ill the early part of May it was learned that Jeffer- son Davis, president of the Confederate states, was fleeing for Texas to join General Kirby Smith. there to try and re-establish the Confectionery Orders were at once issued by General Wilson for his capture. The First Wisconsin cavalry was ordered out on the north or east bank of the Ocmulgee river, and Colonel Minty ordered out his old regi- ment, the Fourth Michigan cavalry down the south or west side of the same river, with instructions to intercept and capture Mr. Davis and the party with him. Colonel (since General) Minty, we'll known in this city, now railroad official in the west. was one of the finest and most efficient officers in the late war. His command, with Wilder's. in the foremost front, opened the battle on the noted and bloody field of Chioka- mauga.
 At Abbeyville, 70 miles south of Ma con, it was learned that Davis fleeing party had here crossed the ferry over the Oemulgee and were moving south ward toward Irwinsville, Ga., 30 miles below and 100 miles south of Macon. Lieutenant Colonel B. D Pritchard, in command of tho Fourth Michigan cav airy, marched the regiment rapidly down the river road, and after 30 mile ride reached Irwinsville late in the night and learned that he had got in advance of the Davis party Early on
