A mans nose or woman's nose Is
something of which tie owner is sensi-
tive. The nose is geographically situated
in the middle Of the face, between and
below the eyes, and It's base is level
with the bottom of the ears. It is a very
handy part of the physical makeup, and
it is Indispensable Considerable atten-
ton is paid to this ail-important MEM
Der, too, and it is very particular and
hard to please. Thousands Of men are
employed ia southwestern France and
other countries in mailing delicate per-
fumes just to please this particular mem.
ber of the body.
No two noses are alike. There Is al
ways some distinguishing mark or out
line, yet the noses of the world are classi-
fed into four general divisions, the Ro-
man, Grecian, eqniline, and pug. An
inch on mans nose Is a good deal, too,
and has considerable T. do with the own
er's dignity Of expression, and has some
thing to say about the qualities OF mind
to be found in the owner. Whatever
shaped nose is planted on our face, we
have TO wear it. 1t is decidedly not like
hat, which, If il does not suit us, can
be thrown aside. The nose is mighty
and will prevail, and It VIII do no one
any good to attempt TO cut of his nose
to spite his face.
There is a certain Individuality about
the nose which makes itself felt Tho
Grecian nose is the ideal nose, clear cut
with delicately and perfectly chiseled
nostrils, which indicats refinement and
symmetry of intellect. We find tnis
nose ON Venus, Apollo, Mercury, and
other Greek ideaizations. Alexander
the Great was Greek, and wore a Gre
clan nose with Roman notifications. II
you are a student Of history, you viii re-
member that Alexander was an aggros-
sive man; he had the independence 70
introduce innovations, to depart from
precedent and the established policy Of
Gresce and wage aggressive wars In for
eigr countries TO extend the domination
of his country. His nasal modification
was the work of aggression in the upper
part.
The Roman nose comes next; Il is not
so well chiseled and finished at the end,
and indicates that the owner loved
knowledge, not for It's own sake, but for
the valuable assistance it gave in secur-
ing power. Aggression and self-defense
are well marked, and are really the char
acteristics of the Roman nose. Julius
Caesar had such nose, and he used II as
moral battering- Caesar was
ambitious"
admire a large nose, and a large Ro-
man nose indicates push and enterprise.
Look ut the men who wore such nose.
There were Washington, Napoleon anc
Lincoln, all wearing such an aggressive
nose. The battle of Waterloo was bait
tie of noses, NapOleon's Roman nose YER
sus Wellington's nose, which indicated
intellectual combination and persever-
ance. Napoleons big nose was able to
staifd the sbSsoks Of that famous battle.
but Wellington's syntheticaI nose shifted
the victory from afar, and kept the Iron
Duke holding out until Blucher came
and saved the day. So you see what an
important part tho nasal appendage
plays.
You win rarely find intellectual
strength in the head whose frontispiece
is low-bridged nose. The servility Of
the African is read in bis low-bridged
nose with turned up end. Weakness Of
intellect lies there, as in child, with its
soft, cunning little nose. The projection
of the end of the nose indicates the in
terrogating mind and conversation. You
will find it in the inguisitive child gener-
ally.
The aquiline nose you will find In the
Hebrews, and it has signs of defense,
protection and aggression. The breadth
indicates the love Of mUney-getting. II

ancient Assyrians. could go on and
name great men whose characteristics
are well known and you would find thnt
the nose was the tale-bearer Of the work.
