A Matter of Stone.
In spite of tlie Important place given
to the nose as an index of character,
there is but little to be learned from It
in estimating the causes of an innate
bond between the mind and' the fea¬
tures. Most of the correspondences
which Have been remarked appear to
be'of a radical order, but why a Roman
nose first became associated with a
warlike and domineering disposition or
how a long and thin nose became linked
with business prudence is more than I
can say. If we omit the changes
which take place in a nose during the
lifetime of its possessor, there is scarce¬
ly a nasal peculiarity, of value to the
physiognomist which at the*»ame time
is cosmopolitan. No Tartar or Hotten¬
tot, however warlike, could give proof
of it In this way. Japan has shown
that he possesses plenty of men with
military aptitude, but no Welllngtonlan
nose can be found wtthiiu her borders.
Again, no Chinese nose—is long and
thin, yet John is not without a certain
aptitude at driving bargains'.—Black¬
wood's Magazine.

The Egyptians, according to the sage
Apollodorus, credit their Hermes or
Mercury with the Invention of music
under the following circumstances;
The Nile, having overflowed 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, tlje flesh
having dried and wasted In the sun
uutil nothing remained lu the shell but
cartilages. These, being tightened by
the drying heat, became sonorous.
Mercury, walking along the bunks of
the river, happened to strike hla foot
against this sfiell, was so pleased with
the sound produced that the Idea of
the lyre suggested Itself, and he con¬
structed a lyre of the shell of a large
tortoise, which he strung with the
sinews of dead auimals. Drydon
wrote:
Less than a god they thought there could
not dwell *
Within the hollow of mat shell
That spoke so sweetly.

The papyrus used by the ancient
Egyptians was made from the
of a peculiar water reeq growing In alj
ports of figy.pt. The outside layer of
the plant was removed, and beneath
jhls therp were found pitliy a number of foy¬
ers of % delicate, ppeuibraue.
These, being sepavatpd, were pjaceq tq
layers. A secqqd layer was laid at
Vtgfit angles tn and above the first and
sometimes a tlfird over the second,
Heavy pressure was then applied, and
the layers were firmly cemented Into a
fair article of paper. No gum other
than what was contained tn the plant
Itself was used In the process. The
papyrus was very much stronger than

MOTHER S PRAYER GETS
RESPITE FOR BOyS
Milton and Jesse Rawlins Given
New Lease on Life by
Governor Terrell.
v \ .elding to■ th. prayer, of «
fond and faithful mother and a
, loyal , grandparent, , . coupled , , with
an . <>qiu " P ea G “ n a ’ L a
irmy lovemor tirt ias
signed another respite, giving
Milton and Jesse Rawlins, youth
ful murderers, a new lease on
life. Their earthly existence has
been prolonged for a period of
thirty .lays . trnm „ October v, 4, ,
when they were to have bee,,
GXGciiiEd, until November 2 1 find
in the meantime the state board
of pardons will pass upon a mini-*
erously signed petition, urging a
commutation of the death sen¬
tence of the boys to life impris¬
onment.
Alf Moore, the negro,on whose
testimony the boys were convict¬
ed and who is also under deatli
sentence, has been respited until
November 2, that lie may appear
in behalf of the state to oppose
the application of the lads’ attor¬
ney for a commutation of their
sentence.
Mrs. Angelina Rawlins, wife of
J. G. Rawlins and mother of Mil
ton, Jesse and Leonard, tUe first
two of whom are under death
sentences, the latter having been
sentenced to life imprisonment,
together with her father, ’Squire
J. J. Bowers, of OoflTee county,
and Attorney John R. Cooper,
legal adviser of the condemned
family, appeared before Governor
Terrell early Saturday morning.
Although the governor several
days ago'indicated his intention
to grant no further respites to
the Rawlins boys, the matter was
put before him in such a light by
Mrs. Rawlins, ’Squire Jowers anffc
Attorney Cooper that lt$ yielded,
and the thirty days respite was
ihe result.
Commissioner AJter conferring 0. A, with Evans prison in
person and Solicitor W. E. Thom¬
as, of Valdosta, by long distance
telephone, Governor Terrell in¬
formed the anxious mother,
grandfather and attorney of the
thirty-day respite, anil all went
their way rejojeihg. It, was on
the advice of Solicitor Thomas
that the governor also respited
Alf Moore, the negro.
Attorney Cooper, Mrs. Rawlins
and ’Squire Jowdrs went to the
C ipitol together, and were among
the first callers at the executive
office, Governor Terrell gave tlie
trio an immediate audience, and
Colonel Cooper proceeded to at
ask for the immediate com
mutation of the hoys’ death seu
He argued that the evi
deuce submitted at the trial of
the case never warranted the
sentence of death, and presented
a petition signed by more than
ais lmndrel , J , „ rgm( . .

ne y the governor said a coin mu

have to follow in the usual chan¬
nels. I will not consider a com¬
mutation until it has first been
considered by the prison com¬
mission.”
Attorney Cooper then asked for
a thirty-day respite, that he
might present a petition to tlie
prison commission, asking a com
niutatisn of the sentences, and in
this request both Mrs. Rawlins
and ’.Squire Jowers joined.
“My boys—Milton and Jesse—
are innocent, and it will lie a
crime to hang them,” was Mrs.
Rawlins’ piteous plea, as she
brushed aside a tear with her
