Sept. %. 1880. a man sprang. as It
were. out of the ground. seized the bri-
die OF the travellers horse and at the
same instant demanded a halt. Two

three the traveller offered the authority
for John Anderson TO pass on public
business and signed by the major gen
eral commanding West Point
For one moment the pass sufficed.
Then there was doubt. In that moment
of hesitation the travellers eyes rested
upon a coat that one Of the men wore
which he had obtained while prisoner
not long before. and. recognizing the
garb of the Hessian soldiers attached
TO the British army. the traveller con-
cluded hastily that he had fallen
among friends instead of foes. II see

ture Of the head toward the river.
Fatal words! They sealed the doom
of Adjutant Major General John An
DIRE of the British army. He was
quickly dismounted and searched with
out result and still there was delay.
Some latent sense Of required vigilance
melted these humble militiamen TO re-
newed search Of the travellers person.

The Judge waved the tiny mite OF hui

stopped and, grabbing his youthful tor

Nothing is more rare than really
perfect nose-that is, one which unites
harmony OF form. correctness OF pro-
portion and proper affinity with the
other features.
The following are. according TO the
rules OF art. the conditions requisite
TO the beauty Of this organ:
The nose should have the same
length as the forehead and have q
slight depression at its root. From its
root TO its extremity II should follow a
perfectly straight line and come exact
ly over the center OF the upper lip. The
bridge Of the nose. parallel on both
sides, should be a little wider in the
center The tip should he neither too
thin nor too fieshy, and its lower out
line neither narrow nor too wide. The
lobes must be gracefully defined by a
slight depression. Seen sideways. the
lower part OF the nose will have but
third Of its total length.
