She Knew Physiognomy.
No. mamma hasn't been shadowing

Physicians Explanation.
Says a Topeka physician who has
made a study of physiognomy. Sup
posing this young man had an upper
lip which was a perfect -Cupid's
bow, mamma would know that he
easily fell in love and would Just as
easily fall out again. If his chin is
narrow and his face, especially his
nose, so lacking in squareness, she
would know that he was not naturally
over-conscientious. That he was re-
fined would be shown by a high nose
broad and we'll rounded at the tip.
If the nose is bumped instead of
straight, the sterner qualities are in

forces which shaped them were alike
and the character of the two would be

The convex nose, the Roman
nose, or the nose with a hump, con-
tains the most bone and is usually the
Iargest type OF nose. 1t is associated
with the greatest power and the Larry

The straight nose indicates refine

than for the deeper sciences, and
probable consciousness
Where the straight nose is short and
th1ck the tendency is toward orna-
mental and constructive work in small
philosophy go with the longer nose.
The concave nose, the nose that
curves in from the tip to the forehead,
IS the typical nose of the infant, the
idiot and the undeveloped. At best
1t indicates pure and capable but
weak character.

If the tip of the nose is wide for

If the wide tip is rounded at the
corners it indicates sublimity. This
