had been out in two by a cannon ball. And
it seemed to her that she saw the horrible
sight—the head failing, the eyes open, while
he bit the corner of his big mustache, as he
had been wont to do when angry.
But what had they done with his body? If
they had only restored her her child, as they
had restored her her husband, with the bullet
in the middle of his forehead. ’
But she heard the sound of voices. It was
the Prussians returning from the village. She
quietly hid the letter in her pocket, and-rc-
ceived them tranquilly with her usual face,
having had time to wipe her eyes.
All four were laughing with delight, for
they brought with them a. fine rabbit, stolen,
doubtless, and they made signs to the. old_
woman that; they were going to have a. feast.
She began directly the preparation of the
breakfast, but when it came to the killing of
the rabbit her heart failed her. One of the

soldiers hit it a blow behind the ears with
his list. .
Once the animalwas dead,- she succeeded
in skinning the red' body, but the sight of
the blood that Covered. her hands, the warm
blood that she fell; cooling and clotting, made
her tremble from head to foot, and always
‘she saw her big boy cut in two, his body red
also like that of this still palpitating animal.
She sat down at the table with her Prus-
siaus, but she could not eat a single mouth-
ful. They did not heed, but devoured the
rabbit. She looked at them sidewise, saying
not‘a word, maturing an idea, her face so ex-
pressionless that they noticed nothing.
Suddenly she asked: "Here we have lived
a month together, and I do not even know
your names.” They understood, not without
dilliculty, what she wanted, and told their
names. That did not satisfy her; she made
them write them do vn on a piece of paper,
with the addresses of their families; then,
resting her spectacles on her nose, she consid—
ered this unknown, . fter which she folded
the paper and put it in her pocket, on top of
the letter which told of her son’s death.
\Yhen the meal was over she said to the
neu:
“I am going to work for you.”
And she began to carry hay into the garret
where they slept.
They were astonished at this v: rk. She
explained to them that they would not be so
cold, and they helped her. They piled up
the 1 undlcs till they touched the thatched
roof, and thus they made a sort of chambe '
vith four grass walls, wa ‘m and perfumed,
in whica they would sleep marvelously well.
At dinner one of them became anxious on
stig that Mother Savage still ate nothing.
Thcn she lighted a gotul lire to varm her-
self, and the four Ger nuns went up to their
lodging by the ladder which they used every
night.

ALL ABOUT THE NOSE.
I":
now AN ORGAN MARKS, THE. pe-
CULIARITIES OF RACES.
Some ,of the Great Lien Who Have Beer.
Remarkable for Their Noses—Moham-
med’s Beak—Napoleon’s Views on, Nasal
Organs—Cutting- Ofi‘Noses as Punishment.
The nose forms one of the characteristic
features of the human face; and the more
one studies it the more he.will appreciate its
importance. There are fourteen bones in the.
nose and a mass of cartilages which are ossi-
fied into immovable rigidity. It is an un-
bending nose; it will dominecr; it will die-
tate; it will subdue. There are no two noses
alike, but all noses have many things in com—
mon. For example, all moses sneeze, snarl,
snuff, snore, snort, sneer, sniff, snullle, snig—
ger and snivcl. I‘Ioscs mark the peculiarities
of races and tho graduations of society. The
noses of Australians, the Esquima x and the
Degrees—broad. flat. and w ak——mark their
mental and moral characteristics. The strik-
ing difference between the African negro and
the North American Indian is sculptured on
their noses. The Caucasian has a prominent
and well defined nose. and he leads in sub-
duing the world.
The Chinese have bad noses, and they are
intellectually a superior race, but they are
not really a proper exception, for they flatten
the noses of their children in infancy. They
have culti 'ated small and flat noses for gon-
erations upon some absurd notion that the
eyes are the more important, and should not
be obscured by the nose. You can also see
how the nose marks some of the gradations
of society around you. Look at the concave
faces of the low and ignorant, those whom
you are sure to find of mornings in the police
courts, and who adorn Lite cells of our pris-
ons. You cannot for a moment associate
beauty, 'alor, genius or intellectual pmvcr
with such noses.
If you look at the progress of the individ—
ual life, the contour of the nose marks all its
stages. tho ever saw a baby with a Roman
or aquilinc nose, or even a Grecian? The
baby nose is a little snub, the nose of weak-
ness 1 ud undevelopmcnt. The child’s nose
keeps its inward curve; in youth it straight-
eus, and then comes, in certain cha 'actcrs
and 'accs, the bold outward curve of the
aquiliuc or the stronger prominence of the
loman. It may stop at any point in this
march of progress and present a case of ar-
rested development. And w . all feel instinct—
ively that a certain shaped nose is the proper
index of a certain character.
.xnoxu— THE ANCEEXTS.
Almost all great men have b'ion remarka—
ble for their noses, either as to shape, or size
or color. Scipio Nasica derived his name
from the. prominent is lure of this feature
posscssrsrl lily him; the innu'or‘al Ovid, sur—
namcd Ease, was Mr. Nosey, or bottle nose.
Socrates had a snub, but he was frank enough
to admit that in his heart he was a very bad
man. Training did much for him, as it does:
for anybody; but a man who Cllljt‘l'n' life with
a snub is seriously hzu‘dicapped. In the mcd—
als of Cyrus and Artaxcrxes the tips of their
n 505 come clear out to the rim of the coin.
Antiochus VIII was an imposing prince.
They .alled him “G'ryl'ats,” because his nose
was as big and ll!)01-Zt)'.l as a 'alture‘s beak.
But then the ancient Persians permitted only
the owners of large noses to enjoy royal hon-
ors. Numa's inc-s3 was six inches in length,
whence he obtained his surname of I‘ompil his,
as being the owner of a superlative nose.
l'iycurgus and Solon, according to I’lutarcli, -
were ilistinguished in the same m: nncr.
Molirunmcdls nose must have been a curi-
osity. It was. so curved the point seemed to
be endca 'oring to i. sup-rt itself between his
lipr. A later time and phenomena n we
must have luau that of the Great li‘rcdtrick.
Lavatcr oll‘crcd to wa, "-r his reputation that
blindfolded he could tell it out of 10,001)
other noses by simply taking it between his
thumb and forefinger. The. nose of the Bill“
pcror Ludolph of Austria saved his life in an
Oddkiud of way. Duringr one of his cam-
paigns a troop of knights catered into a con-
spiracy to kill him. A pcaraut who was cm-
ploycd about the tents of the conspirators one
evening overheard them say: “Tomorrow
we‘ll surprise old big 11053 and cut him to
pieces.” After his work was over the peas-
ant star cdout to visit some friends in an-
other part. of the amp The cmpcror, who
'was going about with some ct' his knights,
meeting the man, askcd who he was and
what was going on in his part of the Lump.

I’s nose was exquisitely chiseled, sculptur-

wont to say, “Give me a man with plenty of
nose.” He little dl‘ aincd that he vas des-
tined to to be bailled by a people—the llus-
sfansvwhosc noses vcre vell nigh level with
their faces, and that his ultimate victor was
to be a man with the most prominent nose in
I‘luropc—Arthur, Duke of Velliiigfon. The
Y ll. 5
l’arisians called Napoleon III “Grosbec”
Nosey. Alexander the Great had a large
nose, so had Richelieu and Cardinal 1Wolsey“.
Look the 1mrtrait of W'ashington. All
that is gi‘catin firmness, patience and hero-
ism is stamped upon his nose, which is the
true aquiliuc. i has C esar’s now: was of the
same type, an: messed the same charac-
teristiCs of paticn con 'age and heroic fl'm-

tation, and these you lsce in the port ‘aits (if
Shakespeare, L‘acon, Franklin and Dr. John—
son, and others of our great students and
writers. Gibbon had hardly any nose at all.
He had a wee, little protuberance in the
middle of his face which, by courtesy, was
callcdanosc, at it was hardly discernible,
set in between two enormous checks. Tycho
B'aho lost his nose in a duel and Wore a
golden. one, which be attached to his face
with a cement which he always carried about.
Ramcscs II used to cut off the nose of any
subject accused of talking treason against
him. Actisanes, another ruler of Egypt, had
anovcl way of punishing robbers. He cut
off their noses and colonized them—the rob-
bers—in a desert place, which he called
Rhinoconun, from the nature of the punish-
ment of its citizens. On the other hand, and
more humane, perhaps, was his punishment
of dishonest butcher". It was unique. ,A
book was put through their nose and a piece
of meat was hung upon it. ‘
In 1671 Charles II had the nose of Lord
Coventry, keeper of the seal of England, out
off, because he dared to ask in parliament an
inquisitive question about some actresses of
the day. Later, Frederick the Great had a.
noblemaifs~ nose cut off because he protested
openly that he had been enrolled in the army
through fraud. Criminals have been known
to‘ cut off their noses to escape detection.
Making a new nose has often been performed
in America since Dr. _J'. Mason >Warren, of-
Boston, made the first successful one in 1837.

Mormon Timing Scrip.
A Salt Lake correspondent of The St. Louis
Globe-Democrat writes: “If you go into the
principal office of the tithing house you will ‘
see a tall young man handling what looks
like money. He is behind a counter, and
the counter is protected by a high railing.
The man glances through the window, then
looks down at the bills, and then goes on
thumbing them like a bank teller. He goes
to and from a big safe, carrying bundles
done up just as bills are, with little hands of
brown paper pinned about them. Some-
times the young man doesn’t stop to count,
but takes the amounton the brown slip as
correct and passes out the money. This is
Mormon money. It is the tithing scrip. It
is used to facilitate the handling of the grain
and hay and live stock and produce which
com-3 in. If you pick up one of these bills
you will find it very much like a bank note
in appearance. In one'uppcr corner is the
number of the bill. In the lower left hand
corner is the in hoe signo of Mormonism, a
bee hive.
- “The face of the bill reads: ‘cheral Tith-
ing Storehouse. Good Only for Z\Ierchandisc
and Produce at the Gene'al Tithiug Store—
house, Salt Lake City, Utah.’ Each note
bears the signature of the presiding bishop.
On the back is the denomination again, and
a.vi:;:tcttc ol’ the new temple at Salt Lake

It is some satisfaction to me to see that the
zlthcr is becoming more popular right alo
for it is only a few yea 5 since that to 4
sweet ton ‘d instrument vas entirely un-
known to any .ave Germans. But now it is
(piitedifl’crent, as a large number of people
have taken up the zither, and I am convinced
that when it once gets a foothold it will not
be given up again quickly, as it is an instru-
ment of decided merit. its only dra vback
being that it is very tlllilillllli to learn to play.
A great advantage this instrument has over
a majority of its class is that melody and
accompaniment are complete, making it ar
superior to the banjo, mandolin and guitar,
and it would hardly be thot ght, judging
from the size of the zithcr, that it has a com-
pass of over five octave". Musicians of note
are now composing and arranging music for
the zit-her, some of it in the quartet form,
thus enabling zithcr clubs to perform the
better class of music, and a number of the
large sheet music publishing houses turn out
a great deal of zither music. There are now
a large number of zithcr clubs ' in this
country, this city having one which is in the
eleventh year of its existence, and in a most
flourishing condition—Interview in St. Louis

Feline Intelligence.
In a locked attic room is some catnip—herb
so exhilarating to pussy. “Mittens”. knows
it is there, and he is occasionally treated to a
little dissipation in it. M1". Blank recently
took up her bunch of keys, intending to go to
the attic after something. Mittens was
asleep, but the rattle of the keys awoke him,
and he bounded to the feet of his mistress,
mewing excitedly and pulling her skirts.
“I declare,” said Mrs. Blank to her daugh-
ter, “1 believelthe cat knows I’m going up to
theattic.” ‘ - ..
As soon as. the word “attic" was pronounc-
ed the cat rushed away, whisked around the _,
corners, shot upstairs. and when the lady
reached the door of the room containing tb'e'
catnip and other attic treasures Mittens was -
there waitin to be let in. -—-Le wiston J ournal,

FARM, BARN AND HENNERY.-
This Will Be of Interest to the Agricul-
. turist. ' -
This illustration gives a'correct idea. of a
country farm barn, from Palliser a- Pallis—
er, New York, which will interest those who
are agriculturally inclined. To the farmer it
is one of the most important things how he
shall house his stock and provide storage for
his grain, fodder, etc., and yet do it in an
economical manner, and the many farm
barns that are to be seen, with their chopped
up and checkered appearance, indicate that
this matter has not. had a proper amount of
stu y and forethought.

Notes on Rouse Building.
The windows of the kitchen should be placed
three feet from the floor, so that a sufficiency
of wall space may be provided. Such height
permits a table to be placed under the win-
dow. ~
Speaking tubes save more steps in a house
than anything of small cost which may be
added to it. The amount of running up and
down stairs which they'savc is hardly to be
estimated. There should be a. tube from the
family bedroom to the kitchen, one from the
sitting room to the family room and one
from the sitting room to the sarvants’ room,
and, possibly, one from the family room to
the servants’ room.
