They mIho tinder atnnd that in cold atabloa they have to replace with food the heat lont by the cow ; therefore lliey are careful to keep their cow hoiiaca jrojerly heated. In Dutunaik tho whole country ia a tillage, principally clover and rye grawi, on which cattle aie tethered in mi miner; in winter their food ia clover, hay, lin seed cake and rape cake.

H. much ha been said about the Kuliah patent law,, and mo many com parisons have leen I instituted with those of the United Ktatra, that a spe cial intet est attaches to the repot t of Her Majesty' Commissioner for Pat ents for Invention. That reiKjrt for 1879 has just been issued; and it ap peal that tha number of application for letter patent during tho year was i,53S. Thero in nn adage, x.'rhap8 more epigrammatic than strictly true, which say figure can bo tnado to prove anything. Here, however, ia un instance jointing to but a single con elusion, for the figureg'show no increase on the previous year. May we not in fer that the inventive genius of the Britisher ha reached it meridian 1 believe the calmer Knglish economist take this discouraging view. Washing ton Irving nays he would always trust an Englishman's -probity, but never prejudices. In Irving' time it seem but yesterday to tho older generation of American the Inmilur prejudices of the Ialanders,'who lovedjiim so well were impel viou to truth. But recent event have broken the old shell, and brought with them a more dixcriminut ing perception of the force of the West ern maxim, that "Fact is facts, and figgers is figgers." I was Raying tha 5,338 applicasions had been made, Three thousand five hundred and twen ty-one letter wero sealed in accordance with these applications ; but sixty tf these were voided through the neglect of the patentee to tile final secitica tions thereby leaving 3,4 Gl patent in force. There is an English Jaw which exact that all letters patent for inven tions shall be void at the expiration of three years and seven years reseclive If from the date thereof, unless there bi paid before the expiration of the three and seven years respectively Stun inuivalent to $l-"0 and $300, whereupon the patent runs for fourteen years. It now appears that from 1852 to 1872 about 31) percent, of the pat ents have paid tho three years' stauip duty, and continued in force to the end of the seventh year ; and about 1 1 per cent, have paid the seventh year? duty, and consequently remained in force for the full term of fourteen years.

Francis Oroso, In lils npondlx to Hogarth' "Elements of Beauty," de lineates eight typical noso. Thcro Is tha singular, the aquiline or Roman, the parrot's boak, the straight or Gro fln,the bulbous or bottled, the turned up or snub, hnrt tho mixed or broken. Of the latter, by the way, the noses of at least two illustrious men may be taken ns Illustrations Tycho Urahe and Michael Angclo, the latter of who owed his ungraceful iippendix to a blow from it companion with whom ho was at variance, who thus disfigured tho great artist for life and then fled. To theso may bo added tha orator Cicero, upoM whom Naturo seems to have bestowed n nusal organ of a typo decidedly "mixed" If not broken. l'lutarch In his life of the querulous Roman, says that he had a flat execresence on tho top of his tioso In the shapo of a ytchciVfT in Latin from which ho took bis surname. PHny nys, with more probability,, that tho namo originated In an cxen slve cultivation tf vetches, just ns others had previously Is-en surnamed from crops of other kind. However (his may bo tho fact of Cicero's snub nose may no doubt be accepted, and it accords with the traditional U-lief that this description ol uoso Is usually imlkntlvo of a fiery, quick, impetu ous teinH?r, Cicero having iKwscshOd this characteristic In a marked de gree. Horace seemed to havo re garded the short nose, with a little turn up at tho end, ns tho mark of a person given n good deal to jibing and jeering. Martial calls it the rhi noceros noo, and says that it was highly fashionable In his day, every body affecting this kind of prolxwi as an Indication of satirical humor. Tho angular" nose, as f rose calls It, Is tho long, clearly cut, pointed organ, and was, no doubt, the typo to which Horace alludes when he says that It, U Indlcltlve of Satirical wit. The "parrot beak" is the noo with which Mr .Punch usually adorns Ids chnrlc aturo of tho Huliati or Khedive, and Is akin to tho typical Jewish hoho all over tho world. The eight tyies given embrace every description of lie feature, and students of charica- turo aro strongly recommended in tho treatise alluded to to mnko them selves ierfectly familiar with the si in pi o lines by which t li --. curiously comprehensive sketches i.re t-ffeeted. A very singular tei l u-cn oi- served with regard ii( w inu.-li to he shape of the ikim iitu tin i'!iin of it ill the f.iei-, hi to i-pealt To Ikj strictly correct from I Ik i.rliM' dnt of view, the nose should ! iiceurine- In the middle of tho f.iec nt.d hi right angles ulili u line fiom tlio pu pil of one eye to that of the other. is a matter of f.iet It is rarely or never found thus placed. It l tilnm-t rivjrl.ibly a little out of th 'iiiare," and the fact of it tn-inj - I often hat which lends n i-oculi ir expres sion and piquancy to the f.iei. medical writer KMiits out il.at there are anatomical reasons why ti slight deviation from tho true central line may lie expected, and that the nose which is thus accurately straight be tween the two eyes may tx considered an abnormal one, and that the only absolutely correct organ is that which thus deviates n little to tht ritflit or left. aOWLt:iM.E IV A MTtHl ll.

It U not ono ol tho kind that Is Usually found In paper covers and read by small boys without parents, or pretty maidens, but ono that will bo read with interest by older heads, who aro capable of pluying the part of nn Iconoclast. Your representative wont buck with his informant to the year 18'17, when thero li ved In this city a man named Watson Northrup, a member of tho firm of Armstrong and Northrup, who nt that date manufac tured woolen goods on West Market street. During tho year n sister of Mrs. Northrup, a Miss McDonald, from tho Kitst visited the family ind remained for somo time. Miss Mc Donald being qulto an accomplished young lady, had many admirers in her clrclo of acquaintance, and In tho course of time married Capt. Rush and returned to tho Eis;, where Mr. Rush died. Mrs. Ruili afterwards married it Mr. Robinson and removed to Portland, Me., where they lived until his death, which occurred some years ago. Thero being no children Mrs. Robinson fell heir to an estate valued at $.'10,000. Alxiut two years ago sbo died intestate, and her neph ews commenced to lok efter the es tate. Mr. Northrup, when he lived in this city had Ilvo sons, Jeremiah, Henry, John, Georgo and Kdwiu ; nil bis own sons: n- everybody be lieved at that time. The family re moved to Marietta, where Mr. North rupdled in 1814, when Mrs. N. moved to Covington, Ky., and lived several years, w hen she died. Tho family by this time was pretty badly scat tered over the country, Jeremiah go ing to fc't. Louis, M., accompanied by John; George to Marquctte,Mieh., where ho is to-day engaged In the practice of medicine, ami later all wero dead but the three above named. Now it seems that John puts in an appearance at this late date nd claims that ho is not a son of Watson Northrup, but an illegitimate hild of Miss McDonald, afterwards Mrs. Rush, and later Mrs. Robinson, nd iijion this ground claims to tho rightful heir, mid has entered suit nt Portland, Me. Being informed ihU afternoon that n old lady named Brown, living on South Seventh eireet, in this city.who was born in IKOO, wie tho only living witness l' John's statement, yojr representative called upon the old lady and obtained the following nd- liiitiid information: She stated that I when Mi-is McDonald came to this Ity in 1S:J7, to viilt her sbter, Mrs. Northrup, she vas'McVne, and about four months after her arrival shi gave birth to a child, which her sister, Mrs. Northrop, took ns her own in order lo shield her from the disgrace. Mrs. D. stated that she was the only person present at the birth of the hild besides Dr. Brown, and that the child was raised In the Northrop fam ily as ono or their own, and grew up with the family without the least suspicion on the part of their most intimntc friends. Jeremiah North rop, who claims to lo a full brother of JohnV, makes light of the whole story.- He, however, haft been in the city for tho past few days looking after evidence in the case, and last night returned to St. Iouls. Some weeks ago, Wrs. Brown, tho lady aliovo refcrrod to. was taken to Port land, Me., where her deposition waa taken as to the matter staled in the in terview. Tho case is now pending in the courts of that state, and it is stated that parlies will lie here short ly iiuthoii.ed to take testimony. nn. oo.
