Clues to Character
A Courageous Nose.
By ]. O. ABERNETHY.

AS character molds the nose. you
cannot expect to find q strong. vigor-
Gus person with q soft, fatty nose, no
more than you will ever see q long.
thin, delicate nose on a coarse. burly
individual. In other words. the nose
depicts character, disposition and men
tality. It's certain that you have
never seen an athlete with a fiabby
nose-and you never will. There Is
reason for this fact. The nose Is com
posed Of bone, tissue and cartilage.
Height of the nose indicate ideals;
breadth announces comprehensive
ness: length gives caution. sighted
ness and sagacity. Thus. the three di-
mensions Of height, breadth and length
when combined in the nose in large
measure and with good quality, be-
speaks to the world of a powerful
positive character.
The nose of an athlete Is bony: 1t Is
firm, well modelled and rounded more
than square. 1t Is composed for the
most part of bone, cartilage and mus
Gle, but the bOny structure outweighs
the others. Coupled with these there
will be large distended nostrils, which
are signs Of a powerful heart and
lungs. This form of nose is found on
bold. aggressive, dauntless and cour-
ageOuS persons.

Consult the lists of prophets. priests

discover that although they could not

have education, with or without cul-

One Of the most genial, humane
and wholesome characters ever
knew was farmer OF Dutchess
County, New York State. His scho-
lastic advantages had been scanty
enough. But his vivid imagination,
his keen perception Of truth, his fine
sense Of beauty and his capacity Tor
clear and balanced statement ktndled
my warm admiration.
Such men and women are all too
rare, bit they are far more numerous
than some intellectuals concede. Nor
do they have to be experts In par
ticular art or science to be either
educated or cultured.
Culture consists in what one is
rather than in what one knows. 1t
breathes a gracious and elevating
temper into the most commonplace
pursuits. When accompanied by
great learning, 1t often produces the
master spirits of the day. My farmer
friend was truly cultured man and
all in his locality recognized him as
such.

SO in the Hebrew scriptures the
King Of Moab offered his eldest son

father to be sacrificed, but mysterious

The main purport of the instance
which perplexes you was to demon
