PHYSIONOMICAL SIGNPOSTS.

Having granted that the mouth is probably the most important indicator to character, the shape ot the nose comes next. With the conqueror's note, strong and aequiline, we tiro till more or less acquainted. We have seen it in statues and portraits of Alexander, Caesar. Napoleon, Wellington, Nelson, and others. The Greek nose, beautifully chiselled. forming a straight line from base to lip. is a sure sign of a gentle, peace-loving nature, endowed with much love of beauty, art aiul home. It may not be a portent ot much forceful nests, or self-assertion, especially if the nose be small; oil the other hand, a person with such a nose will never show quarrelsome tendencies.

The snob noses, as distinct from the merely retrousse kind, the nose which sinks in at the bridge, Hattons out over the lip, and takes a decisive! upward tilt, shows signs of considerable cruelly. People with tins nose will in flicli pain, not only in word, but also in deed. If is a nose of which to hewn re.

In a woman it denotes the good wife and Ibe capable housekeeper. \ A very uiisa(isTficlory feature i.s the irregular nose, that, belongs to neither category-- starting nut to be (Jreek, loi instance, but finishing with ungainly thickness at the end. fhe owner ot such a nose will let, you down for.sure; will betray your confidence; twist your uttered word into what it bad never meant to convey and will, altogether, display a la‘nciifahlc lack nl honour. It, also shows a grasping and unforgiving nature.
