Your Nose Indicates Temper.

A nose by any name would doubtless
smell as well, but it's some satisfaction
to find out what kind of a nose YOU
have. and what your disposition must
therefore certainly be.
Not knowing much about noses, you
may think you have one kind of dispo.
sition. and then, having your nose re-
vealed to you i'll its true light. discover
that You have been mistaken all the
time.
For instance, if you have a thin aoui-
inc nose you simply must be ''nagger /"
If you have not lived up to this renuta-
ton it must be only because you haven't
been aware of your gifts. For all the
law and the prophets. otherwise the
beauty doctors, say that a nose of this
type unerringly indicates a "nagger."
Here are some more of the beauty doe
tors fats:
Women who have the long, straight
thin nose, extreme in all it's outlines, are
usually women of very timid, sweet dis
positions.
Women who have little short. fat
noses are generous, easy tempered and
pleasant 10 live with, but not as a rule
handsome.
The sweetest of American types is the
nose that is just long enough but the
least tritle broad for its length. 1t is
not squat by any means. It suggests
good health and good temper. 1t is the
ideal judged from the American mans
standpoint. Statistics show that the
nice. full, sensible nose gets the hus-
bands
If the nose is thin and the nostrils fine
and narrow it means that the woman
has Il poor air supply and that she is
all things that have their origin in the
heart

A soJoURNER IN YESTERDAY.

Did you love Yesterday so well
That when at length it's twilight came,
You made your bed some grassy dell.
Nor answered when you heard your nam,
Your fellow travellers called at day,
Departing on their newer way?
You did not choose TO hear their call,
But fingered in your chosen spot,
While faint and fainter their football
Returned that day-and answered no
But tarried still; and still you stay,
A sojourner in Yesterday.
Was Yesterday so fair to you,
Or did you weary of the quest
The endless quest we still pursue?
oh, were you weary-would you rest,
Poor pilgrim, travel-worn and gray
From dusty roads of Yesterday?

Remarkable Case Is Reported from Town

A remarkable case of a toad sleeping
for 20 years is reported from Stone, in
Staffordshire, England. Twenty years
ago George Lewis built houses in front
of which were large stone steps. This
week the steps were removed, and i'm
prisoned in the stone work a toad was
found in comatose state, but it soon
became active when removed into the
sunshine. There can be no doubt that
the toad had lived 20 years in a hermet-
ically sealed chamber, as all around, in
perfect condition, was a foot thickness
of stone and cement, and the toad was
in the center of the cavity.
