WHY NOSES POINT EAST.
A Theory Which Is Plausible. but
Rather RfdfculOus

Rather RidfculOus.
Very few peoples noses are set prop
perly upon their faces. Any obseryant
person who will go along the street and
take notice of the nasal organs Of the
passerby may easily convince himself
on the subject. Not one individual in
hundred, whether man or woman. is
above criticism as to the arrangement
of his or her nose. h.
One might think that nature is lit
tie careless about this matter. When
the nose turns off at an angle instead
of assuming it's just and proper atti-
tude, it tends, at all events in extreme
cases, to give disordered effect to the
features as whole, but if nature real
ly does not care which way a nose
points there ought to be as. many noses
turned one way as are turned the, 9TH
er.
But is this the case? Not bit of it.
AS you walk down the street look at
the people as they go by, and you will
discover that the noses of ninety-nine
out Of every hundred turn to the right
When once YOU have begun to notice
this fact, it will constantly attract
your attention. In truth, the objec-
ton to starting in upon study of this
kind is that you cannot get away from
it afterward. 1t haunts you steadily
and persistently. Whenever you meet
friend you look at his nose to make
sure whethe" it turns to the right Or
not
Now, the phenomenon being as de-
scribed. what is the reason behind it.?
Why should nearly everybody's nose
turn to the right rather than to the
left? There seems to be only one way
to account for it. and that is that al.
most everybody is right handed and
uses his handkerchief correspondingly:
so from infancy to old age the nose in
the process Of being blown and wiped
is persistently tweaked to the right;
hence as the infant passes through
childhood and later youth-when the
nasal organ is flexible and in process
Of formation. SO to speak-it is obliged
gradually but surely to assume an in
clination eastward. ,.g
If this theory be correct. the noses of
left handed persons ought to turn Gus
tomarily to the left. Such, in fact, >ap-
pears to be the case. but data or this
interesting branch Of the question are
not sufficiently complete to afford a
final conclusion. - Saturday Evening

BUSINESS 3, MEN i MEET.
A Commercial Club organized
and Its Purpose Outlined.

Attn Palmer House On Monday
Sxsniug there was a notable gather
ing of twenty-five of the representa-
tive business men of tho city for the
suppose of forming a club for the So

that a more perfect union of interests
could be brought about by monthly
meetings of social character where
the freest expression of opinion should
be had. All expressed the opinion
that',in this way better understanding
of each other would result in closer
sympathetic action. The best of feel
ing prevailed throughout, ':and while
there was sharp discussion gof the
question as to what, limit, if any,
should be be placed upon the numeri-
cal strength of E. the club, and also
relative to the amount of annual dues,
yet there was not the least >ill-feeling
and all went home after two hours of
healthy discussion impressed with the
idea that the commercial club is
bound to be a success. "A committt e
consisting Of George Ingram, L. S..

LADRoNE CHIEFS ESCAPE.
Big Drive by cavite constabuIary
Failure.

Manila, July 23.-Montallon and
Felizardo, the ladrone chiefs, have
broken through the constabulary cor
capped to the mountains. A number of
ladrones were killed in earlier at
tempts to force the Gordon.
The Gordon encompassed the lead
ers and many of their followers. The
latter, when trapped, made series OF
breaks to escape. The constabulary
withstood the first attack, killing four
teen and capturing fifteen men. The
ladrones finally massed under cover of
the darkness and forced their way
through weak spot in the Gordon,
near Das Armas, killing one and
wounding one of the constabulary.
The latter captured the papers and eff
fects of the leaders and destroyed
quantities of supplies.
An extensive drive, with the object
of capturing the ladrone chiefs, Mon.
TALON and Felizardo, and fifty of their
followers, was organized in Cavite
province. Twelve hundred constab-
ulary, commanded by Captain Baker,
moved last Thursday at daylight, form
ing a complete angle-shaped Gordon,
covering sixty square miles. Patrol
launches guarded the rivers and it was
expected to close the Gordon last Sat-
urday. The entire male populations of
the towns and farms were to be includ-
ed in the concentration movement.
When complete the ladrones were to
have been arrested and the others
were to have been released.

Black Sea Peculiarities.

The Black sea differs in a most re-
markable manner from other seas and
oceans. a surface current flows con-
tinuously from the Black sea into the
Mediterranean and an under current
from the Mediterranean into the Black
sea. The latter current is salt. and, be-
ing heavier than the fresh water above,
it. remains stagnant at the bottom. Be
ing saturated with sulphuretted hydro
gen. this water will not maintain life.
and so the Black sea contains no living
inhabitants below the depth of about
100 fathoms. The deeper water when
brought to the surface smells exactly
like rotten eggs.

Exchange Pass Question.

Eastern and W estern Railroads are lia- ble to clash and have trouble over the question of issuing passes. The Eastern roads have an agreement in force where by they issue no passes to travelling rep resentatives of roads W est of the Missis- sippa River. The Western roads issue no passes to roads east of Chicago. In or der to get passes for their ti aveling rep resentatlves the Eastern roads are sad to credit their travelIng representatives to the Western divisions of their systems and thus get passes, when, as a matter of fact, the representatives are working strictly for the Eastern parts of the sys- tenn.
 Members of the Western Passenger As soc.ation are aroused over the matter, and may decline to issue passes to any officials of the Eastern roads. A promi- nent Western official says he thinks 1t a pretty small business for the Eastern roads to shut off interchange passes and then credit travelling men to the Western portions of their lines or Western con nections for the purpose of obtaining free transportation for them. You may rest assured" he continued. "'that we will shut them of in 1903. I would not be sur prised, also, if the Western lines split up their transportation, for they are tired of Issuing passes from Chicago to Cal.for- mia, for example, and receiving in return passes from Chicago to BuffaIo or Pitts burg"
