child. and $500 alimony. The alimony
will be paid $25 June / and SIS

brought her suit for divorce October

4 Matter of Nose.

In spite ofthe important place given
10 the nose rs an index of character,
there is but little to he learned from il
in estimating the causes of an innate
bond between the mind and the fea-
lures Most Of the correspondence
which have been remarked appear to
be of Il radical order, but why Roman
nose first became associated with n
wallike and domncering disposition or
how long and thin nose became linked
with business prudence is more than
can say. If we omit the changes
which take place in Il nose during the
lifetime of its possessor, there Is scarce
ly a nasal popularity of value to the
physlognomist which ut the same time
is cosmopolitan. No Tartar or Hotten-
tot, however warlike, coAll give proof
of it in this way. Japan has shown
that she possesses plenty of men with
military aptitude, but no Wellingtonian
nose can be found within her borders.
Again. no Chinese nose is long and
thin, yet John is not without q certain
aptitude at driving bargains. Black.

Mnsic and the Trrt1n

The Egyptians, according to the sage
Apollodorus, credit their HermeS or
Mercury with the invention of music
under the following circumstances:
The Nile, having overlooked its banks
and inundated nearly all OF Egypt on
its return to its banks left on its
shores various dead animals and
among the rest a tortoise, the flesh
having dried and wasted in the sun
until nothing remained in the shell but
carriages. These, being tightened by
the drying heat, became sonorous.
Mercury. walking along the banks of
the river. happened 10 strike his foot
against this shell. was so pleased with
the sound produced that The idea of
the Tyre suggested itself, and he con-
structed Tyre of the shell of large
tortoise, which he strung with the
sinews of dead animals. Dryden
wrote:
Less than a god they thought there could
not dwell
Within the hollow of that she'll

Papyrus.

The papyrus used by the ancient
Egyptians was made from the stems
of peculiar water reed growing in all
parts of Egypt. The outside layer of
the plant was removed, and beneath
this there We're found number Of lay
ers of Il delicate, plthy membrane.
These, being separated, were placed in
layers. A second layer was laid at
right angles to and above the first and
sometimes a third over the second.
Heavy pressure was then applied, and
the layers were firmly cemented into
fair article of paper No gum other
than what was contained in the plant
itself was used in the process The
papyrus was very much stronger than
the average paper made by the mod
