fore. The agricultural papers tell Of
the improvements in combining prac-
teal with theoretical knowledge.
There was mention some weeks ago in
one of them of the demand for univer-
sity educated farmers for responsible
positions in experiment stations and
also on large ranches, whose managers
appreciate the advantages of scientific
agriculture. One evidence of this grow
ing interest is found at the University
at Missouri. That institution offered
summer course for teachers and the
attendance has exceeded the expecta-
lions of the most sanguine. In sew
eral counties in Missouri agriculture
has been made part of the public
schools courses and is treated in the
same manner as other studies. 1t is
receiving as much attention as math-

a UNIQUE SOCIETY.

What is regarded by many as the
most unique society in the United
States is the Meese Matrimonial Asso-
citation, the members of which are
about to hold an annual meeting at
Auburn, Ind. The. membership of the
association is confined to no particular
section, but life members are more
plentiful in the middle west than else
where. The society is composed ex-
clusively of couples who have been
married by venerable Rev. W. L.
Meese. Its membership amounts to
about 600 and it is constantly increas-
ing.
Pastor Meese founded this unique
society. He is proud of the fact that
he can show a longer list of couples
whom he has united than any other
rector in the United States and he con-
ceived the novel idea of holding an
nual reunions, in which the happy
married pairs would meet and be en-
tertained. The first reunion, which
took place August 20 last year was a
decided success and the coming meet
ing is expected to be more largely at
tended and still greater success.

Physiognomists go so far as to assert
that the nose is the key to the mans
character, the index to his brain. And
SO many people-great employers
among them share the belief that it
is almost as lucky for a child to be
born with good nose on its face as
with tht proverbial spoon in its mouth.
There are noses and noses. even

the artistic nose literary men and

nose peculiar to architects and engi-
neers, and not the least important is
one labeled by physiognomists com
bative and organizing" This might
also be called the military nose. 1t
belongs to great commanders on sea
and land, and is so prominent that it
can not be mistaken. Wellington had
it to an abnormal degree. In this as
in other respects he has never been
equaled by any other soldier. Yelling
ton was great believer in noses. Ma
poleon also admired good nose, and
was personally we'll endowed in that
particular, but nothing like to the
same extent as his vanquisher at
Waterloo. Both are said to have
chosen their men for important posi-
tions by the size and shape Of their
noses. In short, Wellington and Ma
poleon, for professional purposes,
practiced physiognomy, which was a
crime in the days of Elizabeth, when
all persons fayning to have knowl-
edge of Phyisiognomie or like Fan

Tableau at Leeds.
In the Grand Arcade, of Leeds. Eng
land, there has been erected a wonder
full clock, which hourly gives novel
representation of the British empire.
The clock is the work of Messrs. Will
liam Potts & Sons, of Leeds, and is
claimed by them to be the greatest ho-
biological feat of the century. Until
the hands point to the quarters only
two figures, representing mail-clad
knights with appraised battle axes, are
visible. Immediately they have chin
ed on adjacent gongs the real display
takes place. A door opens and a Brit
ish Grenadier in full uniform marches
forth, and on reaching the center Of
the platform faces to the front and
salutes in precise military fashion. He
is followed by smartly killed High
lander, also warrior, an Irishman, in
the old-time national costume and car
rying shillelah, Canadian boatman.
and the dusky figure of Hindu. Each
makes an obeisance to the onlookers.
and when the last figure has retired a
cock over the timepiece flaps it's wings
and crows three times as if challeng-
ing the whole world. Crowds visit the
Leeds Arcade daily to see this impress

is the, outcome exclusively of British
brains and skill.

TUILERIES PALACE.
Only Small Portions of the Ancient
Buildings Remain.

Only Small Portions of the Ancient
Buildings Remain.
The fine old palace of the Tuileries
in Paris has been terribly destroyed
and injured; there remain now only
the north and south wings which con-
meet it with the corresponding wings
of the new Louvre, and the larger part
of even these remains has been re-
built. The main building of the Tuil-
cries which fronted the gardens and
stretched across from the Rue de Ri
voli almost to the Pont Royal, was, in
1871, ruthlessly burned by the COM
munists, before the troops could pre-
vent it's destruction. Formerly the
ground on which this palace stood was
covered by tuileries (tile kilns), hence
its name. In 1864 Queen Catherine de
Medicis began to build this palace, and
succeeding French kings finished it,
but they did not live there much till
after the outbreak of the revolution;
they seem to have preferred the Lou
vre and later on Versailles. 1t will
be remembered that Louis XVI, aMrie
Antoinette and the royal family were
compelled to return here from Yer
sailles and We're escorted by the people
to the gates of the palace. After their
attempt to escape and their recapture
at Vincennes, they remained at the
| Tuilleries till they were taken to the
prison of the Temple. After the res
toration it was used as the royal and
imperls -idence until the Franco
German wa of 1870 The Pavilion de
Flore was used by Marie Antoinette for
evening receptions; it is N the south
wings. which has been restored since
the fire of 1871, and is now occupied by
the colonial minister and his staff.
Right away westward to the Place de
la Concorde, once the bloodstained
Place de la Revolution, stretch the airy
Tuileries gardens. The larger portion
of these gardens was planned more
than 200 years ago, in the time of
Louis Quatorze. Some of the orange
trees, which are put out in their tubs
in summer time, and form most re-
markable avenue along these gardens,
are said to be nearly 400 years old.
These Tuileries gardens are especially
used as resort for children and their
nurses, and here may be seen many
amusing and characteristic scenes of
Partisan life.

The work of the Republic is sup
