/ Ties, except the transverse rluSe, below
the line of the eyes, which indicates
pluck and persistence. IL is the nose of
kind-hearted man, ever ready with a
kind word or good deed to smooth the
path of the unfortunate, and lift the
fallen to their feet again, for another
chance in the game of life.
Senator Ransom has clear-cut, hand
some nose, long from the eyes down
ward, in exact harmony with his face,
with a circular nostril and the tip rather
elongated. 1t is an elegant nose indica-
tive of refinement of character and
purity of taste. Mr.. Ransom has been
peculiarly unfortunate. succession of
disasters has driven him to the Senate of
the United States. Under happier aus
! pieces he might have been an artist; in
deed, with proper training and more
fortunate fate, he has capacities to sue
coed as reporter.
Senator Angus Cameron has the true
Kettle nose, long, well-shaped, hand
some; the wide, circular nostril indica-
ting a large passage to the lungs. 1t is
carried high in the air, the nose Of
quick, prompt resolve, with whose
wearer in wider state of society, it is a
word and blow, the last being generally
the first. The Cameron clan were the
neatest and most commendabe cattle
thieves in all the Scottish Highlands,
having noses that could scent dun
heifer with unerring accuracy from the
blairs of Athole to the Portland hills.
Cattle raiding went out of fashion after
Culloden, but the high intellect and
the handsome noses which won for the
Camerons such brilliant success rs foray-
ers still remain, and the Wisconsin SEN
ator is distinguished for both.
Senator Howe has long triangular
nose, with sharp point and narrow
back, for all the world like fat-iron, or
the hinder end of the mantis insect,
commonly known as "rear-horse." 1t
is suggestive of kick from mule in
the breezy days of boyhood, and a mod
est recovery from the effects thereof.
Sairy Camp has Just such nose. There
are kindly lines about it, and the heart
of the Senator is very often in the right
place. It'll sort of snuilling nose.
Senator Bayard also has large nose,
clean cut and prominent, standing out
bold from the face, rs If confronting the
future. 1t is an inquisitive nose, yet
courteous ope-the nose of the inventor.
II sets off n face of manly beauty, where
quiet dignity and philosophical intellect
appear in every line. Such nose in
dicates harmony of faculties which
make up character, and admirably
agrees with the reputation Mr.. Bayard
enjoys.
Senator Blaine has thick, broad,
blunt nose, of the kind known as bot
tle-nose," and first-rate specimen of
the type 1t is admirably adopted to
the face it reposes upon. 1t is just the
nose to sniff" danger in air. Just such
proboscis is common around smelling
furnaces and coal mines, and visitors to
Pittsburg and Scranton will readily re-
member the type. The intellect above
such nose may be quick, but certain
grimness that suggests coal dust, and
little hardness that is cast iron, are its
notable peculiarities.
Senator Voorhees, has somewhat ir-
regular, but finely outlined nose, long
and penetrating, narrow between the
eyes, and trifle pendulous at the
tip. Such nose indicates warm and
impul,ive nature, in whose composition
there is but little secretiveness, and no
dissimulation. 1t is the nose of the ora
tor who feels what he says, and whose
convictions are too honestly entertained
to be unfeelingly expressed
Senator Lamar has an artistic nOse
Its proportions are so admirably ad-
justed to the face that one would hardly
call it large nose, yet it is. 1t is
straight and well defined, and without
irregularity. 1t is the highest possible
type of the American nose, composite
proboscis that in years to come will be
as distinctly marked as the Greek, the
Roman, the Hebrew. the aquiline, or the
pug. 1t cannot. shuttle or sniff, but can
sneeze the head off if allowed fair
chance, and when necessary can snore
like the putting of Mississippi River
steamboat padding up stream. 1t is a
nose of great possibilities.
