Had Cleopatra's nose been little
shorter, the face of the world, Pascal
maintained would have been changed.
According to Major Setback of Denmark
the shape of the nose not only serves to
characterize races, but nations. The
eyes have been accepted as the windows
OF the soul, but the nose is claimed as
the indicator of the intellectual faculties
The Major has travelled is many lands
and studied many people-and also ami
mails. He concluded that in both the
physiognomical expression is the tell.tale
of character. His WORK, translated into
French by DIR. Jumont, is extremely
curious. Taking into account the study
OF the neck, the hair, the hand, and, of
course, the mouth and eyes, MajorSchack
attributes, also an immense indicating
value-moral and physical-to the shape
of the nose. According to the author,
the dimension of the nose is in proportion
to the development of the lungs and
chest. It'll thus that the sculptor of
antiquity gave large nostrils to those of
there statues which expressed strength
and courage, because exercise in fortify
ing respiration distends the nostrils.
However, anger and fright produce the
same effect. The largeness of the nasal
cavities imparts volume to the voice.
That is to say, splendid voice and
small nose rarely coexists. Further, the
nose makes known the intensity and fines
ness of our moral sentiments. The nose
belongs at once to the Interchangeable and
the variable parts of our features, while
faithfully rejecting the transitory move.
msnts of our inclinations. Diplomates,
then, ought to dstrust their noses. In
the case of the infant, the nose is the most
insignificant part of the visage. 1t is
only at the age of pubrety that it's devel.

when well developed, indicates frmness,

acter. The form of the nose depends al
so on civilization. It's elegance is the
appanage of peoples arrived at high de-
gree of culture. Savages present a rough,
unshapen nose, an organ approaching
more the muzzle of animals than human

istc genius and taste. Virgil although
Roman citizen, had the Greek nose
Milton, Rubens, Titan, Madame de Stael,
Richelieu and Nopoleon had the Greco-
Roman nose. When a nose is, as Tenny-
son says, "upturnsd like the petals of
rose, such indicates cunning and artful-
ness, and is peculiar to waiting-maids
and intriguing ladies. The straight nose
is sign of taste and refined jud gment;
Bourbon nose, of self-opinion and recti-
tude; thick, shapeless nose, of heaviness
and want of tact.

WORTHY THE CAUSE.
The Handsome Structure to Be
Erected by the Y. Nj. @. a.

Iuc IdHuSOunS structure tO Dc
Erected by the Y. Nj. c. a.
Accompanying this article is cut of
the proposed new building of the Young
Mems Christian association to be erected
this year Oh the corner of Mary place
and Tenth street, slightly location
which meets with the almost unanimous
approval of all classes in the city. AS
will be seen at glance from the above
picture, taken from hasty pen etching
by the secretary, the building will be an
imposing and edIfice worthy the To-
cation. The lot, already owned by the
association, upon which this ornate
structure is to stand is 9715 feet on
Tenth street by 167 feet on Mary place.
For the present the building will oc-
cupy the corner, 9715 by 100 feet, with
the main entrance on Tenth street. 1t
will be built of stone, four stories in
height. After the return of the commit
tee, in company with the architect.
some slight changes may be made, but
practically as follows: First FlOor-The
main entrance on Tenth street will be
large and attractive. The side en-
trance on Mary place, leading to
the second floor, will also pre-
sent a specially inviting appearance.
The front corridor will lead directly into
the spacious, bright, CHEEKY reception
room, from which, by large doors or cur
tanned openings, the following parts of
the building can be reached: A large
and commodiouS reading room, mem
berS' parlor, small lecture room. secre-
tary'S office, coat room, large gym
nasium, entrance to visitors gallery of
gymnasium, to second floor, etc. No
will hn IN 10 oil m Il
tails and furnishings of this main floor
as complete and attractive as possible.
Second Floor-Besides the large hall,
capable of seating 1000 persons, with
the gallery, this floor will contain the
directors room, junior department
rooms, music and art rooms, committee
rooms, etc. Third and Fourth Floors
This portion of the building will con-
tain additional class and committee
rooms, and will probably be fitted up
with elegant apartments for young men.
BaSement-Here will be located 500
gymnasium lockers, lavatories, hot and
cold shower, needle and sponge baths,
three bowling alleys, Datatorium, BIZ
cycle storeroOm, space for 500 additional
lockers, heating apparatus and electric
light plant. The building will cost. it is
estimated, exclusive of heating and
lighting plant, 100000, Mr.. H. o.
Hawlins started the list of subscrip-
ttons about two years ago with the gift
of $4,000, and the total amount of
pledges at the present time footS up
to something over SS3, 900. This will
be increased by a continued active
canvass until the sum of at least $780,
900 is secured. The building will be-
fore long be an accomplished fact, and
will not only be an ornament to the
city, but one of the finest equipped
buildings for its peculiar mission of
work for men by young men' in the
world,
