What Cinnamon Have Zone.

China is nearly as large as Europe, and
contains much larger population, every
third man in the world being it is calcu-
lated, q Chinaman Their progress in
lhe past has been most marked; thus the
Chinese appear to have been among the
earliest, if not the very earliest, of the
human race to emerge from barbarisn.
They have literature older than the days
of Moses, and astronomical observations
that go back at least to the days of Abra-
ham. Comparing their carly progress
with that OF European nations, they were
clothed in silk rObss when our savage
ancestors still painted their naked bodies.
They invented printing, and had printed
books about the middle of the tenth cen
tury, five hundred years before the time
of Caxton. Gunpowder and the mari
ner,s compass were Chineses inventions
long before they were known to Europe
ans. Lieut.. H. n. Shore pointed out, in
a recent paper read before the Society of
Arts, that in the matter of canals the util-
ization Of carrier pigeons, the artificial
culture OF oysters, fish and poultry. and
in the satisfactory solution of the great
sewage question, the Chinese have been
before US in time, and in some of these at
east, are still ahead of US In results.

And so, my fair correspondent, you
have an unduly prominent nose, and wish
to lessen the size of that feature, ii pos
sible? | am afraid the evil is beyond
human remedy. Experiments with spring
clOthspins and cOmprcssors result only in
confusion. While an exaggerated mouth
may be modified, and an expansive ear
concealed, the nose must be left &c itself,
naked to the eye of criticism and the
teeth of the north wind But take COM
fort. A prominent nose is not so unioye-
ly thing on the face of a lady, and
Langtry bangs and Il plenty of fluffy lace
around the neck will materially aid in
casting the unduly prominent feature into
shape. The pages OF history and the
records of royal houses are full of deeds
of brave men and triumphs of fair women
whose noses were as uncomprGmising as
your own. Cesar, Charlcmagne and Ma
polccn, Scmiraris, Queen Elizabeth and
Catherine of Russia, all rcjGiccd in an
Oycrgenerous nasal prominence. Why
should their physical antitypes, of lesser
fame and broader culture, regret the mark
of Obstruction which nature has placed in
eradieably upon their faces2 If fashion
is at odds with such feature then the
wise woman will compel fashion to yield
to it, and will avoid the straight haired,
straight collared order IF attire which
renders her nose too conspicuous She is
bound in justice to herself to do this
The fashionable rage for novelty has much
to answer for with regard to the desecTa-
tion of ''thc human form divine" Ithas
alternately bieached and blackened the
hair, and given to deadly poisons a per-
manent place on the toilet table. 1t has
squeezed the feet twisted the ankles and
prescribed gate that is half waddle and
all wobble. But so long as no question
is made of Introducing the board of the
flatheads and the foot bandagc8 of China,
it may be assumed that the nose, whether
Dubious, beallish, tiPtilted or sharp as
pen, will be permitted to remain untouch-
cd. If you preserve an easy temper, eat
wholesome food and exercise properly,
your nose need never cause you moment
of Worry. Whatever its shape it will be
exactly suited to your other features, and
your face will present a perfect har-
mony of outline Left to itself and not
vitiated by bad blood or diseased mind,
this nose or any other nose, will be pre-
cisely as it should be- Unvexed nature
never makes mistake in these matters.
