INDICATE CHARACTER.
What Different Kinds of Noses Mean
 to Their Owners.

X thick nose and flat Is an unfavora. hle feature with men as well as women, usually s!gnifying that the character is preslomlnated by material instincts, while a t1rTncl-up nose with wide nos trlls betuhpns q vain disposition.
 Especially wide nostrils are signs of courage, strength and pride; small nos trils of weakness and tiInidity. Noses large in every respect are usually found among men, and when a woman pos- seSses q large nose it indicates she is masculine in character.
 l The nose, the form of which has so much to do with the beauty of the face, is amenablp to culture and we have it on the authority of a German physi- clan that 1t is beyond dispute that dur | Ing half an ordinary human life the nose Is capable of receiving more noble form. The mental training of an indt- vidual has great deal to do with shap- ing the nose.
 The small, fiat nose, found among women and called the soubrette nose, when occurring with an otherwise agreeable cast of countenance, indi. cntes gracious and cheerful naivette, combined with considerable curiosity. Such a nose is seldom found among enough to possess 1t he is characterized by weak and definite sagacity.-Phila delphta Press.

If one of the furnaces is disabled by q chance shot, no harm may result, but If more are disabled the ship may be at the che my's mercy.
 In spite of their hard duties the stoa- CTS are healthy, strong and vigorous men. The intense heat in which they work tans their skin dark brown. They are fairly well paid and have many liberties They are idle more or less when the vessel is in port and little steam Is kept up.
 When the battle begins the men :n the stoke-hole are able to tell only that the ship has gone into action. They hear the roar of the batteries as they are fired and feel the shock of the shell as 1t bursts on the arm0rpd sides; bat the terrible anxiety of half days con fict Is greater to them than to the men who work the guns or direct the ships movements.
 AS the battle goes on therp are many who win praise for bravery In action. but to the stoker there is only to toll on in the furious heat each one doing his small share, He helps to win by keep ing his integral part of the engine of war in working order, at the direction of the commander.

THE STOKER A HERO.
On Men-of- There Is No Position
 More Trying than His.

Stripped to the waist, perepiring in the terrible heat of the furnaces, the stoker never knows how the battle is going, whether his ship will be blown into the air or sent to the bottom, as he throws the coal into the fiery nav of the furnace.
 Among the heroes on a hattleship none have so onerous a position and none more dangerous than the men who tend the furnaces and pass the coal However the conflict above him may rangr, the stolier hears only it's distant murmur and feels only the shock as the shells impact themselves against the steel sides and the great guns recoil from the thousand pounds of steel and powder hurled at the enemy. Perhaps n chance shot may pierce the 10 Inches of armor that guard the en- glnes and boilers and the rushing water may drown him as he valnly seeks to escape. Perhaps the Jo tons of eX- plosives in the magazines may be reached by a projectile from the en- emy's guns and he may he blown to pieces in the steel cell where he is at work.
 At any time the crisis may come, and small chance is there for him to catch on the floating spar or wreckage. In such cases the stoke-hole always proves the coffin of the men who feed the furnaces and lend the Initial assist ance towards making the war vessel n thing of life.

The rse of the Grsat Toe.

The negroes of the West Indies use the great toe constantly In climbing. Several years ago, while spending some time at one of the famous resorts in Jamaica, had an opportunity 10 oh- serve the skill with which the black women, who Go q great part of the menial labor. carried stone, mortar and other building materials on their heads to the top of the five-S;ory tower Ill q part of the hotel not then finished.
 Much of the unel1ing accuracy with which they ,women and girls chased each other up and down the long lad ders, with heavy loads sklllfully poised on their Woolly pates, was due to the firn1ness with which they grasped each rung of the ladders with the great toe. They did not place the ball or the hol- low of the foot on the rung, but the groove at the iuncture of the great toe with the body of the foot, and they held fast by making the back of the other toes afford the other gripping surface. In much the same way the AhysSinian native cavalry grasp the stirrup. And 1 have seen a one-armed Santo Domingan black, astride the near OK in q wheel yoke, guiding lead mule with rein held between his great and second toes, while his only arm was devoted to cracking his teamster's whtp.-Overland Monthly.

sToKERS AT WORK.

and coal buukers, with score of fiery furnace doors that send out gleaming rays of light Into the apartment, the only light that the room ever receives. It has no windows and no doors. In the ceiling above great ventilators pierce the steel. Currents of cool air take the place of that sucked in by the furnaces. The room Is filled with q sickeuing heat that only the experienced stoker can stand.
 In this room the stoker works, and works hard. The duties are so severe that he Is rarely required to work a shift of more than four hours. A line of coal passers constantly moves, each man trundling n barrow of coal into the stoke-hole, and as It Is dumped on the floor the stoker, armed with a long shovel, jerks the chain that opens the door, seizes q shovelfm of fuel and dashes 1t into the great bed of glow ing, roaring flame, where it is licked up almost before the stoker, with half shielded face, can close the door.
 Each stoker has an allotted number of furnace dors to take care of, ac- cording to the size of the ship and the capacity of it's boilers He has scarce ly a moments rest during his shift and when he Is not throwing coal Into the glowing ovens of flame he yields rake
