but to a woman her beauty is every
! thing
Photographs were produced, and
the iury-men were invited to compare
i the Mrs. March of now and the Mrs.
March of then.
"She has such large hat on that
it is difficult to see,' said Justice
Bigham, intent on the task Of valua-
| ton.
Mrs. March was very plucky dur
ing her unpleasant ordeal of being
inspected. Counsel's description
had done justice to her claim, but
was necessarily a little hard on her
present appearance. Her nose had
been disfgured and lost its regularity
but she was still an attractive look
ing woman.
In the witness box she said that
she had been photographed during a
visit at Monte Carlo.
"Those photographers take good
photographs, do they not?" asked
Mr.. Gill, K. c., for purposes of cross
examination.
Mr. March, who followed, explain
ed how although the proprietors of
the hotel had been very kind to Mrs.
March after the accident, it was nee
essary to bring an action against
them. They had offered a piece Of
jewelry as a souvenir.
"No that is hardly the word,' the
witness hastily added.
"Hardly,' repeated Justice Big
ham in his driest manner.
One of the doctors called a wit
nesses gave some remarkable evi-
dence about medical devices for re-
storing damaged noses. Where the
skin had shriveled up it was possible
to induce permanent plumness by in
jections of paraffin. But this treat
ment was not considered suitable in
Mrs. March case, the doctor added.
The Judge made joke at his own
expense in his summing up. eff it
was my nose that was injured,' he
said to the jury, 81 dare say you
would not give me very much. -
Then he pointed out that woman s
nose is more valuable than a judges
The jury awarded Mrs. March 81
500 for the part of her beauty which
she had lost.

WOMAN'S NOSE
WORTH $1,000
JURY DETERMINES PLAINTIFF
IS ENTITLED TO THIS SUM
OF DAMAGES.
Feminine BEAUTY VALUED
Justice Agrees That Looks of Young
Wife Mean Much More to Her
Than to That of a Man.
Feminine BEAUTY VALUED

London, Feb. 5.-Gentle reader, if
you are Of the fair sex, at how many
hundred dollars would you value
your nose
Women noses are worth ever so
much more than those of men. This
dictum was laid down by Justice Big
ham in the High court yesterday.
But though they are worth so much
more, the exact value of women s
noses it is almost impossible to de-
termine. This his lordship also
said.
The jury in Justice Bigham s court
nevertheless made an earnest endeav-
or to compensate adequately Mrs. Ri
ia March, haplss young lady who
had her nose ruined-it was
"squeezed fat,' her counsel some
what bluntly put tin the following
manner:
She had gone with her husband,
Mr.. March, to the Burlington hotel
at Dover. After dinner, having had
no fresh air all day, she took her hus-
band and her little dog into the no
tel grounds for a walk. The little
dog ran on in safety, but the others
had not followed far when Mrs.
March suddenly disappeared from
her view She had been swallowed
up.
Mr.. March shouted to her There
was no answer. Then, as his eyes
got used to the darkness he discover
ed that he was on the brink Of a
black abyss.
II dared not jump down into it,
he told the court. ~ was afraid of
jumping on to Mrs. March,
The unfortunate woman was drag
ged out and put under medical treat
ment. 1t was weeks before she
could be said to have recovered. But
though she got back some semblance
of her health, her beauty was prac-
tieally gone.
MIR. Sherman, K. c., her counsel,
called the jury's attention to the ex-
tent of her loss. Before her fall
Mrs. March had been a lovely wo-
man land her nose had been not the
least of her facial attractions. Now
friends passed her in the street
without recognizing her.
"To man," said Mr.. Shearman i'm
pressively, "Many careers are open,

which the angels desire to under
stand, after ages of study.
Many things were hidden, even from
Moses, who endured as seeing the in
visible, while acting as mediator be
tween God and his people for forty
years, by whom Jesus uttered the
thunders Of Sinai and to whom lie
spake face to face; nevertheless after
all this, while in the Mount of God,
where the rustic of wings was heard
and Gods messenger passed with words
from Jesus, Moses cried, II beseech
thee show me thy glory; so was it
with all of the prophets; they We're

Wounds ON Fruit Trees.

An eastern fruit grower says
wounds of any considerable size
should be given coat Of paint or some
other durable substance. A suitable
dressing must possess two distinct
properties. 1t must check the wealth
ering Of the wound and prevent the
growth of bacteria and fungi, and it
must be of such a nature as not to in
jure the surrounding bark. The dress
ing is of no value in the healing of the
wound, except as it prevents decay.
For general purposes, white lead
paint is most satisfactory. 1t adheres
closely to the wood. Wax, shellac tai
low, etc, are lacking in both respects.
Bordeaux mixture would be an admira-
BILE material for this purpose If it were
more durable"

We have always had a preference
for having the nests of sitters low
down, if possible, on the ground. In
some cases we have scattered barrels,
laid on their sides and slightly sunk
into the ground, all over the orchard,
which served as run for our laying
hens. The hens would select them for
nests, and when they became broody,
could be allowed to sit and hatch, and
take care of their brood for at least a
few weeks, right in the nest OF their
own selection. In the Matching room,
too, we have regularly endeavored to
have the nests near the ground, and
if possible on the natural earth floor );
or if in tiers, at least the lower one
on the ground. Eggs usually hatch

When it was found that Wheeler's
cavalry, covering the rear guard of
Johnston's army had crossed and burn
ed the long bridge over the Cape Fear
at Fayetteville, North Carolina, and
that Sherman's army, in close pursuit,
had reached Rocktish Creek, only six
miles distant, a citizens meeting COM
posed only of very old men-all others
were in the army-was hurriedly called
by the Mayor to consider the best means
of staying General Sherman's advance.
The meeting had hardly been called
to order when old Mr.. Horner, dressed
still in the Revolutionary style, raised
himself OH his cane in a very agitated
manner, and in a shrill voice said:
