ALL KINDS OF NOSES.
Different Shapes of the Human Proboscis
ami Wliat They Signify.
Tliero is more in a man’s nose than
appears at first sight. The human nose
is full of character. In cases where a
nose has been lost character has be'en
lost with it. It cannot be permanently
and successfully disguised. This led
to the remark about an unmistakable
thing: “As plain as the nose on your
face.” The nose was originally in
tended as an organ for conveying to
the brain the delicate sense of smell
ing. Its uses have in many instances
been perverted. Savages bore holes in
their noses and hang jewelry on them.
Dirty old men put snuff in their noses.
It is an abuse of nature. A sneeze is
an involuntary cffoi t of nature to blow
out of the nose the snuff the dirty old
man has put into it. When a gentleman
is walking drunk on the street, police
men say: “Ho has a sausage up his
y . AAVJ UOO cl J'
nose." Policemen know what they
mean by such language, but in some
way it goes that a drunken man is an
offense to the nose.
Some men talk considerably through
their nose. Some vocalists seem to
sing through the nose. It becomes an
unmusical instrument—a nasal kazoo
—when it is snored through. It is a
nuisance when poked into the business
of people who do not own it.
See the man with the sharp, long,
rounded nose, like the beak of an
eagle. He is a combative man who
wants to argue the case and wants to
have his own way. Like the bird of
freedom, lie wants liberty of ’pinions.
The eagle nose is strong in character.
It speaks for itself. It stands up for
itself, and will not be snubbed or sat
down upon.
The Roman nose is also full of char
acter. It is out of place and looks un
happy on the face of the modern dude.
It looked grand on the face of the
ancient Romans, for which faces it
was made. It was in harmony with
l’ugged men who had decision of char
acter and meant business. There could
have been no great Caesar with an in
significant, turned up or meaningless
nose. Look at pictures of Washing
ton, Wellington, Napoleon, or whom
you will, and you will find that great
men have had great noses.
The Hebrew nose is a good nose. It
is always in keeping with the face.
If on the face of a beautiful Jewess it
is beautiful, and yet it speaks of its
race and origin, however faintly.
Eyes and ears and chins and foreheads
do'not. This is but an instance show
ing how the nose is an open book on
the pages of which history may be
written.
The African nose is flat and open.
It is a warm country nose, open for an
engagement with any air. It looks
lazy, and is not fine.
'there are no perfect noses away
from the marble features of statuary.
They were not handed down to the
modern Greeks.
Just now the commercial nose is of
most importance. In China and Ja
pan the commercial men who sample,
classify and buy teas are called tasters.
They should be called smellers. They
could not begin to do their work if they
sipped and swallowed samples of all
the tea they passed upon. The stom
achs would not hold enough and the
samplers would die. They depend
upon their noses and base their
opinions on the aroma of the steaming
beverages. Then- noses never go back
on them.
Samplers of wines and of coffee rely
upon the nose, and it is the same way
with sugar men. The expert sugar
broker trades on the judgment of nis
nose, and he rarely gets left.
The average human nose lias a hard
time working its way through this
world. It is an insignificant, shape
less thing when it first appears on the
face of baby and seems destined to be
pinched frequently by .the ambitious
nurse and always by the indiscreet
“peek-a-boo” lady visitor. Then come
accidents to the nose when it begins to
grow up. The little toddler who wears'
it falls over on it and bumps it; per
haps disfigures it in rolling down
stairs or falling out of the baby car
riage while nurse flirts with the police
man. Later the little thing is pressed
against window panes and worn away
looking at Christmas toys in shops or
at the children the little nose owners
would like to be playing with in the
streets. Then comes the scratches and
hurts noses receive in the battle of life,
bearing its blows and bruises. Per
haps one is fated to bo placed along
side of a cross eye, and to be uncom
fortably stared at during waking
hours. And then when eyes become
dim and weak their obliging neighbor,
the nose, standing by and between
them, must hold for old eyes spec
tacles on its bridge and get no_ thanks
for it, because eyes do not think and
cannot imagine the nose helps them
see. Pale in death the nose goes away
to the tomb with all that is mortal of
man. The funeral sermon is about
the loving heart that was and the soul
that is, and is to be saved, and the nose
is forgotten. From the cradle to the
grave the nose has a hard time.
There are sharp and thin noses that
seem to belong to mean men. There
are proud noses that seem to tell of
better days, even worn by shabby
people. There are impudent noses
that seem to turn up at everything, to
carry an air of defiance. There are
noses one wants to pull, and others
the pugilists want to flatten. There
are the beautiful red noses that are the
result of much constant drinking and
care and anxious solicitude. The red,
red nose, that blooms in the spring,
blooms also in the summer and winter.
It has come to stay. It blossoms and
bulges, and is the rosy record of many
joyous events and the monument over
many casks of brandy and demijohns
of wine long since departed. The red
nose colored by liquor is the most ex
pensive of all noses, and should never
be looked fer on the face of the man
who is poor but honest. _On the face
of a temperance lecturer it is a contra
diction of his words.—New Orleans
Picayune. ■-_
A REMARKABLE STORY.
A Mat, Said to Be Blown Up by Dynam
ite Within nim.
The following most remarkable
story is furnished The Huntsville Mer
cury by one of its reliable correspond
ents, and presents a case that will
puzzle scientists no little:
A strange occurrence took place m
Blount county, Ala., yesterday which
I will not attempt to explain, but give
you the facts as they are. _
A party of Birmingham capitalists,^
largely interested in the minerals of
the region, and some prominent rail
road officials were here on a tour of
inspection, with the view of opening
some beds of iron ore and selecting
the most practicable route for the ex
tension of the new railway that leans
up this valley.
This, indeed, seems to have been the
true battle grounds of the gods with
“Pelion piled upon Ossa,” or the utter
confusion of the geologists, who can
not account for red iron ore in one side
of a mountain, brown on the other,
with veins of coal immediately under
lying the top on both sides, so it was
determined to leave them out of the
party and carry along a practical man
familiar with the formations peculiar
to this valley for all geological in
formation necessary in making an ap
proximate estimate of the amount of
solid and loose rock to be encountered
on the extension. Accordingly an old
foreman, Mr. Merts, who had had
large experience in railroading in
the west, was selected. He was an in
telligent, sober and industrious man,
who regularly once a month sent the
greater part of his earnings to his
wife and children in Kansas. He
gave his opinions only after the
most careful examinations, and the
gentlemen had implicit confidence as
to their accuracy. The party reached
a perpendicular bluff’ about fifteen feet
high, when Mr. Merts climbed down
to°a ledge about six feet from the top
and with his hammer was investigat
ing the character of stones and their
probable thickness. The gentlemen
above heard several blows from bis
hammer, then apparently a quantity
of loose rocks falling and immediately
a terrific explosion. They were all
considerably shocked, but not other
wise hurt, and at once went to the
edge of the precipice, where they de
tected the strong odor of dynamite,
but to their consternation could see
nothing of Mr. Merts. After a careful
search some small pieces of hisclothing
were found hanging in a tree about
thirty feet from the ground, but
that was all. The question for the
scientists to settle is what caused
the explosion. A number of peo
ple’from Birmingham have visited
the place, but I have heard only one
plausible theory, and that was ad
vanced by Mi*. Schultz, a scientist. It
is known positively that Mr. Merts
had no dynamite with him, and Mr.
Schultz says the only possible way to
account for the explosion is that he
had constantly, for a number of years,
been handling dynamite and nitro
glycerine, and that so much had been
taken into his system by absorption
that it was only necessary for him to
receive a slight jar to set it off, which
was done when lie struck the ground
on falling from the ledge.
Whether his story is true or not I
can’t say, but give the facts as they
happened, and they can be substan
tiated by a number of citizens in this
vicinity and Birmingham, who will
inform you if there is any more light
on the subject.
LENGTH OF DREAMS.
The Paradoxes of Science.
The water which drowns us, a fluent
stream, can be walked upon as ice.
The bullet, which when fired from a
mflsket carries defith, will be harmless
if ground to dust before being fired.
The crystallized part of the oil of roses,
so grateful in its fragrance—a solid at.
ordinary.temperatures, though readily
volatile—is a compound substance,
containing exactly the same elements,
and in exactly the same proportions,
as the gas with which we light our
streets. The tea which we daily drink
with great benefit and pleasure, pro
duces palpitations, nervous trem
blings, and even paralysis, if taken in
excess; yet the peculiar organic agent
called theme, to which tea owes its
qualities, may be taken by itself (as
tlieine, not as tea) without any appre
ciable effect.
The water which will allay our
burning thirst augments when con
gealed into snow; so that it is stated
by explorers of the Arctic regions that
the natives * ‘prefer enduri ng the utmost
extremity of thirst rather than attempt
to remove it by eating snow.” Yet if
the snow be melted it becomes drink
able water. Nevertheless, although if
melted before it enters the mouth it
assuages thirst like other water, ‘when
melted in the mouth it has the opposite
effect. To render this paradox more
striking, we have only to remember
that ice, which melts more slowly in
the mouth, is very efficient in allaying
thirst:—Blackwood's Magazine.
An Observer of the Subject Tells of His
Otto Experience.
This interesting question has been
recently discussed in Germany, among
others by Dr. F. Scholz, who has given
some striking examples from his own
experience and observation. It is very
certain, however, that the majority of
dreams are only of momentary dura
tion, though extended occasionally to
the length of a minute. In proof of
this Dr. Scholz tells the following
story from his experience:
After excessive bodily fatigue and
a day of mental strain of a not disa
greeable kind, I betook myself to bed
after I had wound up mv watch and
placed it on the night table. Then I
lay down beside a burning lamp. Soon
I found myself on the high sea on
board a well known ship. I was again
young, and stood on the lookout. 1
heard the roar of the water, and golden
clouds floated around me. How long
I so stood I did not know, but itseemea
a very long time. Then the scene
changed. I was in the country, and
my long dead parents came to greet me;
they took me to church, where the
loud organ sounded. I was delighted,
but at the same time wondered to see
my wife and children there. The
priest mounted the pulpit and preach
ed, but I could not understand what
he said for the sound of the organ,
which continued to play. I took my
son by the hand, with him ascended
the church tower—but again the scene
was changed. Instead of being near
my son I stood near an early known
but long dead officer—I ought to ex
plain that I was an army surgeon dur
ing the maneuvers. I Was wondering
why the major looked so young, when
quite close in my ears an unexpected
cannon sounded. Terrified, I was
hurrying off, when I woke up, and
noticed that the supposed cannon shot
had its cause in the opening of the
bedroom door through some one en
tering. It was as if I had lived
through an eternity in my dream, but
when I looked at my watch I saw that
since I had fallen asleep not more
than one minute had elapsed—a much
shorter time than it takes to relate the
occurrence.
Dr. Scholz has collected many other
examples of a similar kind.—True
Flag.
She Dropped the H.
A few days ago an English actor had
occasion to visit a well known young
physician in this city whom he had
laiown quite a while. He was accom
panied by his wife, a thorough Briton,
who in Her conversation dropped and
supplied her h’s as many dwellers on
the isle do. The physician introduced
the lady to his mother, who prides
herself on her knowledge of ancient
history and who had also been ac
quainted with the husband. While
the gentlemen were transacting their
business, the ladies carried on a lively
chat. The actor’s wife told in her own
way of an instance where her husband
had displayed great bravery, and by a
happy speech had averted a panic at
Niblo’s garden. Ending her story she
said: “ ’Any his quite an ’ero.”
“So,” replied the doctor's mother,
apparently greatly astonished, “I knew
he played a great many parts, but I
never heard that ho had played the
fiddle. ”
It took several minutes before all
could appreciate the point of her re
ply, but the doctor said that she had
recently read a great deal about Nero,
the Roman emperor.—Cincinnati En
quirer.
Ability Required to Be a Dude.
Not a little ability is needed to he a
dude. It takes considerable force of
character to be willing to pass for a
fool rather than to give up one’s con
victions. A striking illustration of the
fact of what a dudo may bo is fur
nished by Prince Ferdinand of Co
burg. W hen he ascended the much
disputed throne of Bulgaria the world
laughed at the idea that a fop should
for a moment think of holding that
vexed seat. Now it is dawning on the
public that Prince Ferdinand has
as good a grip of his scepter as he had
on the fashions aforetime, and that to
get him off the-Bulgarian throne noth
ing short of a general European, war
would suffice. Ho has gone quietly
and determinedly forward, and, with,
the persistance and concentration. he
learned as a dude, he has made him
self master of the situation. He may
be regarded as a type, and, while there
must still be those who consider the
energies of one of these elegant crea
tures as misapplied, in the face of
facts it seems foolish to deny their ex
istence.—Boston Courier.
»Ilia Fisk’s Jjomimem.
After dinner at the leading hotel of
die place, a more pretentious hostelry
than they had met since leaving the
Massasoit, of Springfield, our friends
started out for a stroll through the
town, and ultimately found them
selves in the cemetery, which is lo
cated upon a hill a little south of and
overlooking the depot, and from which
the photographic view was taken.
Here, as they wandered among the
tombs of this charming resting place
of the dead, culling bits of wisdom
from the various inscriptions, all re
minding them of their end, they came
rather unexpectedly upon the monu
ment of “Jim” Fisk, the financial hero
of Black Friday. It is an imposing
and beautiful structure of white granite
from the quarries of Dunnnerston, a
little way up the river, and Was erected
by his widow at a cost of nearly
$200,000. It consists of a shelf mounted
upon a square base, at the four corners
of which are life size figures of Com
merce, Finance, Banking and Rail
roading. all charmingly conceived
and admirably executed. Aesthetically
considered, it is a rare and beautiful
piece of work, but what a commentary
upon the truthfulness of monumental
fame!
As our friends viewed the beautiful
structure and criticized its design and
execution, the excitable Tinto broke
out into strong animadversions against
the propriety of such a contribution to
posthumous glorification anent a man
whose name, while living, was a syn
onym for everything that was
‘ ‘Hush, perturbed spirit, ” interrupted
the dominie. “This memorial of him
stands in a secluded spot, far from the
eyes of men; and it was the least his
widow could do in return for the
wealth he left her. As for the rest,
judge not, lest ye be judged.” And
the perturbed spirit was hushed.—•

A New Kind of Orphans.
The strange circumstance of a man
finding liis “orphans” at the Ohio Sol
diers and Sailors’ Orphan home, where
their mother had procured their ad
mission, happened here recently. A
man named Keating, claiming to be a
stucco plasterer from Newport, Ivy.,
came here and found his three chil
dren—a girl, 14 years old, and two
boys, younger—at the home. He de
manded that they be turned over to
him, as he was able to support them
and they were not entitled to be there
any way, as they were Kentucky chil
dren. But the board would not re
lease them, as they said they did not
want to go with him. Keating claims
his wife got the children placed in the
home fraudulently, and has employed
Hon. John Little"to get them out for
him. Orphans with father and mother
both living are a new variety.—Xenia

New York’s Smokers.
“There does not appear to be any
decrease in smoking cigars and cigar
ettes,” said an old tobacconist to, an
Evening Sun reporter. “Here are
some figures about the manufacture of
these goods in this city. The cigars
manufactured since Jan. 1 last were
042,038,749; the cigarettes, 491,979,020.
In October, this year, the number of
cigars manufactured here was 73,009,-
800, and the number oi cigarettes 54,-
415,800, against 52,747,200 for th» same
period in 1887.
“The cigars manufactured, this year
are a little stronger than in former
years,” continued the speaker. “This
is of course due to the fact that the
leaves are stronger. I find that the
majority of smokers prefer a strong or
medium cigar because they contain

Hospitality of the Cubans.
During these rides the remarkable
Cuban hospitality of which I have al
ready spoken was again and again em
phasized. It was simply.impossible to
get past any habitation, from that of a
decayed but still well to do planter to
the humblest charcoal burner’s cabin,
without dismounting for a light for
our cigars, or a few minute’s chatter
over the dolorous condition of affairs
in the island, during which “coffee”
must be taken. There being neither
stoves nor fireplaces in Cuba, the
question of cooking fires becomes an
odd one. In the cities, all cooking is
done on charcoal urns, in the larger
establishments these often being
arranged in the form of massive
charcoal ranges. But in these re
mote country places, a little pagoda
like corner is built next the house, or
a detached structure, not unlike an
American farmer’s large smoke house,
is seen. Here the fire is built squarely
upon the ground, or upon or within
rude stone bases, and the smoke as
cends at will, usually finding vent un
derneath raised roofs. In this primi
tive cocina, or kitchen, the guarda
candela (literally candle, or fire guard)
is always smoldering. If it should
happen to go out—which is seldom
permitted, as unhappy superstitions
attach to the fact—on; discovery, it is

Corwin’s- Retort.
Tom Corwin, of Ohio, was a ready
man. John Cl Calhoun once pointed
to a drove of mules from Ohio and
said to Corwin: “There go some of
your constituents.” “Yes,” said Tom,
“they are going down south to teach
school.” Governor Brough was once
matched against Corwin, and in the
midst of his speech said: “Gentlemen,
my honored opponent himself, while
he preaches advocacy ©f home.indus
try, has a carriage at homo which he
got in England—had it shipped across
the ocean to him. How is that f or sup
porting home industry and labor?
When Corwin came on the stand he
made a great show of embarrassment,
stammered and began slowly: “TVell,
gentlemen, you. have heard what my
friend Mr. Brough has to say ot my
carriage. I plead guilty to the charges,
and have only two things to say in my
defense. The first is that the carriage
came-to me from an .English ancestor,
as an heirloom, and I had to take it.
Again, 1 have not used it for seven
years, and it has been standing in my
back yard, all that time, ancf the
chickens liave converted _ it into a
roost. Now, gentlemen,” with a steady
look at Brough, “i have nothing fur-
tlier to say in my defense; but I would
like to know how Brough knows any
thing about my carriage if he has not
been visiting my chicken roost. Bt.
