i it properly retains its inward curve till the
1 age of puberty A straight or an aquiline
nose projecting from the rounded cheeks Of
a little child, an absolute deformity, beto-
l1ening a most unhealthy precociousness of
mind and body.
In the Caucasian, the nose averages in
length one-third of the face, in the Mongo-
liam the average is about one-fourth, and in
the Ethiopian somewhat less There are five
classes of noses, viz: The Roman, the Greek,
the Jewish, the Snub and the Celestial nose.
The Roman nose indicates executiveness.
This is heenergetic, the decided, the agrees

Gral refinement artistic tastes, and great love
to the beautiful This is the most beautiful
nose in women, and agrees with her supe-
rior natural refinement. The noses of poets
and artists may be observed often to have the
Greek form or show tendency toward it.
The Jewish nose indicates commercialism
| or acquisitiveness. 1t also indicates worldly
shrewdness, insight into character, and ability
to turn that insight to a profitable account.
The snub nose indicates undevelopment.
A few personages who have accidentally, or
10y force of circumstances become historical,
however, had noses more or less snubbed.-
The following are all that occur to us at pres
ent, James l., George L., the Emperor Paul
of Russia, and Kosciusko.
The Celestial nose indicates inquisitiveness
Add somewhat to the snub, and give it
turn upwards, and you have the Celestial
nose. 1t is the exact converse of the Jewish
nose, being concave where the other is con-
veX. The noses of women often have this
incarnation, and such noses in the fair sex
are not without their ardent admirers. The
Celestial may be defined as the inquisitive
nose. In little children the snub and Celes-
tiyl noses are beau tiful, because it conforms
to our ideas of the weakness and ductiity of

founded with noses OF the other classes,
which simply turn up little at the end
The true Celestial presents a continuous
concavity from the root to the tip. There
are many notifications of noses that have
their peculiar significance From that Mr..
Welles gives us with signs the cogitative
nose which is broad the apprehensive or
cautious, which is long and rounding over,

ers ahead" The melancholy nose is excess
lively elongated and borrowing troubles p"
and indulging in the "blues." Then we
have the secretive nose; the confding nose,
and the toper's nose, known at all times by
its redness at the end.
Large eyes have always been admired, es-
pecially in women, and may be considered
essential to the highest order of beauty. An
Arab expresses his idea of the beauty of a
woman by saying that she has the eye of
gazelle. Persons with large eyes have very
lively emotions; think very rapidly and
speak fast, unless there be predominance
of the phlegmatic temperament. Of persons
with small eyes the reverse is true. In large
eyes look for vivacity, liveliness and inteli-
gence.
Prominence of the eye indicates language
large. Deep seated eyes receive more def
mite, accurate and deeper impressions, and
are less readily impressed and less discursive
hin their views than large eyes.
Large eyes also indicate universal observa-
ton, but lack of close scrutiny and percep-
ton of individual things; see everything in
general, but nothing in particular.
The width of the eye indicates impressi-
| bility. The most beautiful eyes have long,
rather than wide opening Eyelids which
are widely expanded, so as to give round
form to the eye, like those of cat and the
owl, indicate ability to see much with little
| light. Eyelids, on the contrary, which more
nearly close over the eye, denote less facility
of impression, but clearer insight, more
definite IDEAS and greater steadiness and
| permanence of action. Round-eyed persons
see much live much in the senses, but think
less. Narrow-eyed persons see less, but think
more and feel intensely.
Arranging all the various colored eyes in
two grand classes-light and dark-we
would say that the dark indicate power, and
the light delicacy. Dark eyes are tropical;
their fires may sleep, but they are like slum-
bering volcanoes. Such eyes generally &C
company a dark complexion, great tough
ness of body, much strength of character, a
powerful but not subtle intellect, and
strong passions. Light eyes, on the other
hand, belong to temperate regions, and they
are temperate. They may glow with love
and genial warmth, but they never burn with
a consuming flame like the torrid black eyes
The accompanying complexion is generally
fair, and the hair light Persons thus char

fined in their tastes, highly susceptible of
improvement, and are mentally active and
versatile. The light-eyed races have attain
ed higher degree of civilization than the
dark races When the complexion is dark
and the eyes light, as is sometimes the
case there will be a combination of strength
and delicacy. Brown and hazel eyes may
perhaps be considered as occupying the mid
die ground between the dark and the light
Black eyes are of four kinds: first the
small, hard black eye which looks like a
bead, and which one might crack like
cherry stone; secondly, the glowing, cavern
GUS black-eye, but with smouldering fire;
fourth, the large, well set and finely form
ed black eye, solemn as the hush of
midnight, still as the mountain lake." yet
full of passion, full of thought and intellect.
Brown eyes are often COMPOUNDED with
hazel, but though hazel eyes are brown, they
deserve to form separate class. 1.-The true
brown eyes" have a softness and beauty of
their own. Some are eager, quick to marry;
they generally go with light hair, fresh com
plexions; their laughing brightness, their
frank glances are as different from the cooler
and calmer look of the hazel as light from
darkness.
Hazel eyes, or light brown have charac-
ter of their own. Speaking of hazel-eyed
girls, Major Noah said: g A hazel eye never
elopes from her husband, never chats scan-
dial, prefers his comfort to her own, never
talks too much or too little-always is an in
tellectual, agreeable and lovely creature. The
gray is the sign of shrewdness and talent
Great thinkers and captains have it. In wo-
man it indicates a better head than heart
The dark hazel is noble as it is beautiful
The blue is amiable, but may be feeble The
black-take care there's thunder and light
ming there"
