Noses and Their Specification.


Ph@drus speaks of the noss as signifying
the Judgment, or the highest faculty of the
mind. Plautus uses the word as Synonymous
with sagacity; Martial, with rage and
anger; and Seneca, with wit The Greeks
had one verb meaning ito mock" derived
directly from the word "nostrils, and an
other verb meaning ITO deceive" derived
from the word "nose;" so that they evidently
regarded the nose as Indicative Of more
than one sense. The Romans connected the
Latin word nasus, or nose, directly with the
Greek word nous, or mind. One of their
everyday idioms or punning slang ex-
pressions was "every man does not have a
nose" that is, every one has not mental
ability.
Many great men have had large noses, az
for example, Washington, Cromwell, Napo-.
leon Bonaparte, the duke of Wellington,
Cicero, Caesar, John Bull, Brother Jonathan
and Mr.. Punchl The popular fancy, as well
as so-called science, still associates certain
types of nose with mental traits. Thus
convex nose is held to be indicative of
courage, and eoncave nose of cowardice.
Flexibility of the nose is put down as
mark of docility, while inflexibility warns
one to expect subbornness. This assertion
certainly proves it elf when applied to the
elephant and the rhinoceros
The nose serves various important offices
in connection with the different emotions
To rub it violently suggests the parsons per
plexity or annoyance. To lay the finger on
it signifies contemplation and intense self.
questioning. To blow it very hard while
listening to affecting passages in books, or
hearing recital of wrong or distress, indi-
Gates emotion and sympathy, because every
one knows that the handkerchiefs employed
upon the nose will also be furtively used to
wipe away the unmanly tear.
The nose is one of the most dignifad
organs we possess; to- pull or tweak it is
always considered a grave insult, second
only to the insult accounted so deadly by
eastern nations: that OF pulling the beard.

TRAPPING IN BRITISH AMERICA,
Away from Civilization = A Dangerous
Calling Visiting the Traps.
fsan Irrancleco Call


Calling Visiting the Traps.
San Francisco Call
The trappers life is, perhaps, the most
desolate one led by white men. Away
from civilization. away from friends and
neighbors, he pursues his dangerous calling
in midwinter through banks of snow, amid
storms of wind and rain, exposed ever to
the fury OF the elements and TO the savage
attacks Of wild beasts. A trapper, TO be
successful must necessarily be isolated
from his neighbors, for there are none
other in the remote interior but those who
follow the same vocation, and So il man
wishes to insure profitable winter he
travels entirely alone. His traps often ex-
tend over run of 70 to 100 miles long. and
and these he visits in rotation as often as
he can.
His method of procedure is as follows;
Having selected a range, he builds hut in
about as convenient site as he can select,
and then lays his traps, which branch out
on either side, in the ravines of the
numerous streams with which that
country is watered His headquarters Is
rather pretentious shanty. 1t is built OF
logs, and has fireplace in it made OF mud
and stones. This is actually his distributing
point, and this is where he stores his pro
visions. Then following his range, he builds,
about days journey distance from each
other, tiny bark shanties, in which he leaves
provisions, and sleeps during the night
By September every preparation is made
for the winters work; and early in October
commences his dreary campaign against
the fur producers. Long before the sun Is
up, when the dim northern light is begin
ming to brighten the forest gloom the trap
per starts from his headquarters Bis
outfit is but light consisting solely OF a
blanket, for, should his caches be full, he
would have a load, perhaps, too heavy for
him to carry. Arriving at his first trap. he
has to examine it; and, If bats be eaten, he
again rebaits it and sets it more carefully;
then the next may have game, and, il SO,
there is more rebaiting to be done, and the
animal has to be promptly skinned, as the
process is much easier when the animal Is
warm. Hence, all over his long course,
stopping at every quarter OF mile or so,
his tedious range is not covered till the
week has passed.
Coming to his headquarters he deposits
his furs thus taken during the week, and
again starts out on his long and dismal
journey, The ranges of each trapper are
as much respected as IL he had purchased
the territory outright and also had posse
Of armed men protecting his traps They
run no fear of robbery, though they may
be away from headquarters for week or
ten days at time and the hut be loaded to
the roof with the most valuable furs

A Descent from thoughts Poetic.

1t was one of those delightful September
mornings that strayed over into November.
The light autumnal haze of Indian summer
was sleeping on the hill tops, only to be
invigorated with the colors OF the rising

matin song that arose from the poultry
yard, parted the curtains and looked forth
