caught in my house-Peterscourt-
not an hour ago."
The warder looked at him, recog'

inside. the lodge.
Sir Jasper, with terrible sinking OF
the heart, accepted the invitation,
gave O minute account of what had
taken place, and was shocked to see
q more dubious look come over tne
warder's face. When he paused, the
man sald.-
I'm very much afraid, Sir Jasper,
that you stand a poor chance OF see

you'd better drive to the nearest po

I'm afraid it's very poor one"
And so poor Jasper found.
Not only were the police convinced
that he had been robbed and that he
stood a bad chance Of recovering MS
property, but it even seemed to him
that they took a misguided pleasure
in hearing every detail Of the affair at

thing very like admiration OF the

The moulding influences which
render the patrician nose to some ex-
tent product of culture seem mainly,
traceable to a close association which
exists between certain muscles at
tached to the more flexible parts Of
the nose and those in the immediate
neighborhood. Nowhere is the last
ing mark of dominant mental habits
more plainly seen than in the muscles
about the mouth. They are contin.
ually in action when We exercise the
will-either in self-control or in at
tempts to control other men or things,
and every time they come into play
they give a Christening tug at our
noses.
Finally it may be said that, for
the maintenance of a patrician nose
at it's best, well balanced mind is
almost as necessary as carefulness
in outward behaviour It's chastity of
tint and outline is endangered, not
only by high living and low thinking,
but also by the habitual and unre-
strained indulgence Of emotions. gen.
orally deemed innocent, and even
laughable. These, through their
strange secondary influence up
on the nerves which regulate
the circulation and nutrition
of the skin of the face, are
quite capable of inducing a certain
coarseness of expression curiously
akin to that induced by indulgence in
vicious pleasures. Herein, perhaps,
may be found some sort of crude and
general recipe for an aristocratic nose,
which is offered, in all good faith
but with no absolute warranty-to
every one with good powers of mental
assimilation.
There can be no doubt that the or
binary plebian nose, with its some
what low bridge, concave profile and
wide nostrils, is, above all others, the
nose which is proper to mankind. All
other types are developed from IL.
Even now the whole human species, OF
whatever race, possesses it in early
ipfancy.-Blackwood's Magazine.

Then Sir Jasper, who was some

The unfortunate baronet stood for

He could not remember at what point
