Big Noses in Japan.

The presence in the city OF Wee
Mapano, Japanese, whose nose fur
nishes him the means OF earning aliveli-
hood-Mr. Mapano being smeller of
tea-recalls the fact that in Japan the
nose is the only feature which attracts
attention. The nose determines the
beauty or the ugliness Of the face ac-

probably due to the fact that difference

the cheek-bones high and the chin re-

huge proboscis is always a raging
