Pe11ences approving the existence OF
telepathy, but merely as illustrating
what ] mean by apparently telepath-
ic phenomena"
The vast majority Of apparently SUI
pernormal phenomena are suscepti-
bic Of a telepathic explanation, but in
a few eases one is driven to other con-
ceptions. Sometimes knowledge is
shown Of events not known to anyone,
and at other times a percipient will
seem to ''see" things at distance, or
to become aware Of events remote in
time.
These phenomena are ascribed to
"clairvoyance," 'precognition," and
'Sretrocognition." They are nlush
less common than those Of the tele-
pathic type, and the evidence for
them is by no means as good.-Prof.
William r. Newbold, in Appletons'

THE NOSE.
Queen of the PhYsiognomy-v Various
Types and Their Significance.

Queen of the PhYsiognomy-v Various
Types and Their Significance.
The noble human nose is en-
throned like a queen on the face and
rules the realms of physiognomy as
does no other feature. Indeed the
beauty of the other features is regu-
lated by the form OF the nose, for even
the most regular features lose their
attraction when offset by an unlovely
or misshaped nose.
The characteristics Of the various
shapes of nose according to physiog-
nomy are as follows: The small fat
nose, found mostly among women and
called the. sollbrctte nose, when oc-
curing with an otherwise agreeable
and fotunate build of features indi-
Gates a certain gracious and cheerful
naivete, combined with an inconsider-
ate curiosity. Such a nose seldom is
possessed by men, at least in Europe,
and when it is it denotes nothing in
their favor but shows an individuality
characterized by weakness and def
cient sagacity. A nose thick and flat
is an unfavorable feature with men as
well as with women, usually signify
ing that the character is predominated
Iby material and sensual instincts;
while a turned-up nose with widenos-
trils bespeaks vain, puffed-up dis
position. Especially wide nostrils are
b sign of strength, courage, and pride;
small nostrils, Of weakness and timidi-
ty.. Noses large ia every respect are
found mostly among men and are mas
culine attributes, proclaiming the en-
ergetic character of the stronger sex.
Among women large, strongly mod
eled nose is rare and when it does oc-
cur it indicates a virago of a hard and
pnlovely disposition.
The nose is not inaccessible to
ffshigher culture" The noted nose
Dr. Macmillan Bresgen,
of Frankfort-on-the-Main says on
this theme: '1t is beyond dispute |
that during half Of an individual hui
man life the nose is capable of receiv-
ing more noble form. The training
of the individual, the culture Of his
intellect and character have a very
considerable influence not only on the |
expression of the face in general but
also on the bodily nature Of the nose"
Ernst Schultz, in Chautauquan.

WOLVES KILL THEMSELVES.
Alaskan Hunters Lure the Dogs to
Self. Destruction.

Every year sees an enormous
amount of wolf skins shipped out
from the Yukon, which in the fur
riers' hands are soon transformed into
beautiful robes, in many instances
the head being half stuffed, with
mouth open, wicked-loolxing teeth,
tongue protruding, and two eyes Of
glass. They make pretty rugs, and
are much sought after in the eastern
states, but Of all the persons who stop
to admire them it is safe to say not
one will know or have the remotest
idea how that particular wolf came to
his end, says the Alaska News. The
interior Indians have a peculiar
method of wolf killing, one that is
simplicity itself and efficacious in the
extreme. No powder nor lead nor
spear is used; they simply kill them
selves. The Indian takes a thin blade
of flint, Clipped SO as to be as sharp
as razor along the edges. This he
fastens securely to the end of a wooden
stake and drives the latter deep into
the ice, so that the flint blade projects
above. Then he binds a chunk of
seal blubber around the flint blade
with string of sinew, thus concealing
the sharp instrument within. Short
ly, along comes a big gray wolf, and he
is hungry, as wolves always are. His
nose is systematically keen, and he
has scented the dainty morsel OF blub-
Der from afar. Eagerly he begins to
lick the fat, which is frozen hard.
This process melts the blubber a lit
tie, and it tastes delicious. After a
short while his tongue comes in con-
tact with the keen edge of the flint
and is cut. The blood flows. The
flavor makes him wild, for he does
not know that it is his own blood. By
this time other wolves have arrived
at the spot. These animals travel in
packs, because only thus can they as
sail the moose and other large beasts
with success. They likewise lick the
blubber, cut their tongues on the flint,
and taste the flavor of blood. 1t
maddens them, and in a few minutes
the stake driven into the ice is thecen-
ter of a crazy mob of raving wild dogs.
They attack each other and fight to
the death. It is fearful spectacle
They go on fighting until all are dead
or desperately wounded. Some hours
later the Indian appears on the scene
again and inspects it with satisfaction.
The ice around the fint-headed stake
is redeemed with blood. Allabout are
scattered the bodies of dead wolves.
The ingenious hunter calmly proceeds
to skin his four-footed victims, and |
carries the pelts away on his sled.
