According to the Foreign Quauorly Review Gu

day. II there often happens that the noses Of those
exposed to tho open air become frozen, and the sui-
lcfer remains perfectly unconscious Of IT, The
chaIky white which the nose then assumes indicates
10 those who SEQ Il that u Is frozen, and II Il DO not
relieved in time the is lost. The remedy is TO
rub tho nose we'll with snow. Custom has there
fore ordained that this should be done Ivy any one
who observes tho frozen nose and II IL therefore no
uncommon sight TO zee two Russians on meeting,

According 70 the same authority the eyes also arc
