CHARACTER IN THE NOSE.

The nose plays an important part in character reading, according to those who make a study of the art. There are, of course, exceptions to the rules, but they are the exceptions that prove the generality of the rule. The long nose is agreed to be a sign of power, and even of genius. The straight nose is claimed to indicate a just mind, serious, judicial and energetic. The nose resembling the beak of an eagle is the sign of an adventurous spirit, greedy for gain. The broad nose with spreading nostrils indicates great sensuality, and the nose which is furrowed reveals kindness and benevolence.

The fleshy, arched no.se is indicative of a cruel, domineering nature, and is to be avoided when possible. The blunt, slender nose indicates that its possessor is quick-witted, somewhat ironical, but not profound. The "pug" nose is claimed to be the mark of a feeble mind, oven coarse in breeding; their owners are usually cheerful and gay, however. Pale noses show egotistic qualities, envious natures and cold-heartedness, but often great intelligence.
