clothes stained with the blood of
wife and the holiest pledges of her
affection, to don the suit of a bride¬
groom, presents one of the most
ble pictures in the sad tragedy. The
three beings killed that she might be
come the prize of this fiend incar
nate, are beyond the reach of our
sympathy, perhaps beyond its need,
but this girl lives to hear the anguish
of an act hut too common in these
times, the marriage with a man of
whose precedents she was nof fully

Ugly Faces Made Handsome.
It is no difficult thing for a dentist to
press prominent teeth into place by rub¬
ber wedges and metal clamps without
pain. The long upper lins which N. P.
Willis derided so pitilessly in a woman
because it is a sign of such a sullen te¬
nacity and coldness of nature, is more
difficult to treat. But it accompanies a
nose facial not so long as it should be, and the
artist would remedy the lip by
bringing the nose down. Do not deride
or say impossible, for the thing is done.
There are several physicians who refit
noses and correct their deformities. The
interior of the nose is deadened with co¬
caine, the lining or mucous membrane
turned back and superfluous tissues cut
away, and a splint or saddle fixed to the
bridge to make it, while healing, the de¬
sired shape. When the large end of
blunt noses becomes a deformity, he cuts
them through with a thin bladed knife
and applies the saddle. In no case is the
operation serious, there is no scar, and
photographs show nothing to be desired
after the operation. Long, prominent
noses are of all others the easiest to be
taught the their duty, as all they require is
splint without surgery. With a nos©

Criticism of European Soldiers.
I have been most kindly received by
the king and Count Bismarck and all the
officers at the headqur.rters of the Prus¬
sian army’-; have seen much of great inter¬
est. and especially have been able to ob¬
serve the difference between European
battles and those of our own country.
I have not found the difference very
great, but that difference is to the credit
of our own country. There is nothing to
be learned here professionally, and it is a
satisfaction to know that this is the case.
There is much, however, which Europeans
could learn from us—the use of rifle pits
—the use of cavalry, which they do not
use well. For instance, there is a line of
communication from here to Germany ex¬
posed to tho whole of the south of France,
with scarcely a soldier on the whole line,
and it has never been touched. There aro
a hundred things in which they aro be¬
us. The staff departments are
organized, the quartermaster’s do
