PRACTICAL PHYSIOGNOMY. Tue JupGe’s System of Reading the Mind's Construction in the Face in Spite of William S., Illustrated.

Rank no lenger smells to heaven, even in a republic. The function of smelling being thus gone, is it not apparent on the face that the nose is retained solely as an organ of expres- sion? We are not indebted to Mr. Steele Mackaye or Delsarte for this discovery: we twigged it ourselves. As a facial mount of observation, therefore, we give the Nose the first consideration in this series of articles. This conspicuons feature being bevond the control of the will, is moulded to its shape by hereditary influences and individual environment, and may be called in scientific phrase, a regular give-away of character. It may be laid down asan invariable rnle, then, that as a man’s nose is so is he. Following one’s nose is therefore acting out one’s true THE JUDGE. racter. What is true of a Democratic ward-politician is true in degree of every- body: he carries hung out on his fronts sign that advertises his character. ‘The only reason why every man’s true inwardness is not known to his neighbors better than he knows it himself (as is the case with his business and domestic affairs) is because of the general ignorance of what noses mean, If Tuk Junge, therefor can teach the human family the principles and practice of this great art, evervbody will see his fellows exactly as th vare. ‘The changes that this revelation would work in society are incal- culable, and, like Cleveland’s reform policy must first be seen to beappreciated.

Either this and much more, or noses would go out of fashion and either be cut off, or habitually overed with a porous plaster or « sealskin mitten.

The art is really available more for newspaper men and society people than any others. Having disclosed this much for the guidance of the ages, we proce demonstration of our system by the concre! examples—as very many different kinds of materials go to the upbuilding of the most ordinary protuberance on the son, or daugh- will take the ter, as the case may be. We will first consider that type of nose called, in poetry ** Tip-tilted like the rose,” in prose, Pug. © Its name—an abbreviation of Pag-nacious—indicates its first and leading characteristic. Its other title, Snub-nose, reveals the same idea—a man who g around snubbing people—but it also dis- closes the record of many snubbings received by the man or his ancestors, the chara ' teris- tie and the sign alike marking the survival of fightists. It as atoken of epted snubbings, of submission, that a “tip-tilted” nose is hy some men regarded as a mark of beauty ina woman, Aman with that sort of nose will aspire to power for the sake of domi. va necring, but he will seek power by aid of bayonets, monopoly, or adventitions circumstances, aye rather than take the chances of being snubbed himself. He &, would make a serviceable tool for a monarch, being at once arrogant and submissive, a THE TCO bully and a toady. Much as this sort of nose suggests the swine, cases have been known where the pos- sessor of one has evinced the most marked hostility to American pork. This is proba- bly not the exhibition of any family quarrel, Init the natural expression of a contentious nature. We next cite, for sake of contrast. a nose at the opposite extreme to the pug. This nose is long, pointed, and sharp—suggestive of keen insight, close analytical powers; but ck of breadth of nature and stability of character, espec- ially when accompanied by half-closed, squinty eyes, and an up-curling lip. “The chief- est characteristic of the wearer of such a nose will be sarcasm, as the large development at the root of the nose, just below the Iyperian curl, indicates large nmand of language. His ngue is us sharp as his n n pick flaws, but not ori measures. In a great ney (like an electoral instance) he would be likely to shirk responsibility; or in case he were antagonized by the president of his choice, he ‘would lack the breadth and fore- sight to patiently submit, and trust to time for his justification or revenge. Ina word, he is neither politician nor statesman—only a satirist and hair-splitter. A nose that is broad on the face indicates strength, ally if it bea little arched from the start- it also reveals = THE POINTER, one, commission bill, for ting point. But when this type of nose expands and flattens at the nostrils, it indicates — sensuality, and determines its possessor tow- ards riotous living. Such a man has in him clements that might impel to worthy achievement, but it HH lia. ble to be turned into unwor- thy channels; he will proba- bly be great in conviviality : and energetic in’ pursuit of rn: rropiear pleasure. A vuriation of the nose with a strong foun- dation by an angle at the tip is sometimes seen. This indicates that the essor 18 adept at turning sharp corners, has a good deal of craft with his sensuality and appar- ent good nature. With deep-set eyes beside it, such & nose says the man will be thrifty and scheming. He will never work; is too indolent. He will early seek office and squeeze all he can ont of its emoluments. Will make his way by professing much and qu vat pox, _ performing little—the usual method of mediocre ambition. We come now to a type of nose that has some of the characteristics of the last two, but lacks much of theirstrength. It will be seen that this nose is broad on its foundation and a little arched like ‘¢ The Prodigal’s, but it differs from the latter in length and pointedness. We should diagnose such a nose as revealing a man who is a weak profli- —one who, when reduced to eating would not havethe energy rise and goto his father,” as everybody would expect and desire, perhaps.

If aman with that sort of nose THE atHLETiC were to run a newspaper, he’d _ pupE. show his nose for news by filling it up with athletics and Parisian dissipations, and be likely to let the paper suffer while he was off wasting the old man’s beqnes: If comicbooks.com
