According to the Foreign Quarterly Review Gu
r;ous scenes take place in St Petersburg on cold
day 1t often happens that the noses of those ex-
posed to the open air become frozen, and the suf-
erer remains perfectly unconscious OF it. The chalky
white which the nose then assumes indicates to those
who see it that it is Frozen and if not relieved in
time the nose is lost. The remedy is 10 rub the
nose wall with snow Custom has therefore ordain-
ed that this should be done by any who observes
the frozen nose, and it is therefore no uncommon
sight to see two Russians on meeting stoop stimuli
tancously. take a handful of snow and go to rub
bling each others noses for dear life According to
the same authority, the eyes also are liable to be in
convenienced by the severe cold. lcices form about
the eye-lashes, and gradually become large enough
to prevent the sufferer from seeing with any com
fort TO himself. In such cases it is considered al
lowable to enter the first house at hand, and demand
permisson to thaw oneself, leaving tear of graft
tude on the hospitable floor, in acknowledgment of
the favor received.
