Hore wc have all types of noses in the rnixture of races and bleed, without any all prevailing type te cenfuse our ideas or set up for us a fake standard of character. Why should we net be able te read character in the nose? As Professer Thompson well says: ''Of all the features of the human face the nasal organ, being the most prominent, stands supreme as a rercalcr of character. Its form gives the great est expression and individuality te the facial lineaments, and even the veice is affected and toned by this important member. The individusJ whom nature has blessed wth a' "really wcli.orrecd and perfect noscTiiheuM Indeed be grate ful, as en an afcrage barely 3 per cent. of the ordinary population can claim te possess a perfectly shaped nasal organ. , Anatomically considered, as evcry one should knew, the nose is 'composed of bone and cartilage, and 'besides being the special orgauef thoscnse'uf smell, it lias ether important functions. It ia especially concerned in respiration and the voice, and the muscles being closely connected with theso of the face, it nat urally affects it In the expression of the different passions and feelings of the BBlBd.' "Professer Thompson has divided besm into three classes," continued th.i Vsdlsclple. "In what he cells his primary -, - aiTWiea incre are vnree strongly marKcu lw. prominent navil bone (A), the bona (C). It is net difficult te clas sify all noses after this manner, but when we ceme te the subdivisions of each class, where mero particular phases of character nre indicated by line lines ia the contour of the nasal lxnc, we should meve with great caution, ami do de pend mero upon careful examination of the subjects in person than upon the out lines that ure presented In photographs. Fer instance, ene would net hcsltnte te put in class A such noses as theso of Sec retary Dial no, Justice Miller, Den Cam Cam eeon, Senators Bvarts, Blackburn, Davis, Quay, Stanford, Edmunds, Sherman, Bledgctt and Onllem, Secretary Tracy, ex-President Cleveland, Vice President Morten and Admiral Perter. In fact, I think a majority of our successful men have this type of nese, which, according te Professer Thompson, indicates the general characteristics of flrmncss, in telligence and trustworthiness. "Subdividing this type iute miner classes is net se cesy. lam free te con fess, hewever, that the greatest nasal or gan I bave ever 6&cn is that of Senater Erarts, which clearly belongs, along with that of Justice Miller's, te that subdivis ion which Professer Thompson says is usually accompanied by high Intellectual sewer, great pcnenal influence, discriiu- 1 S t.

Such noses are Tery rare, and I am sure Professer Thompson will be delighted te have a sketch of 60 perfect a specimen as Scua Scua terEvarts'. The senator's nese is even stronger than the ene which Professer Thompson gives as his idea of the per- t .lit .MA.I m n t tYxa .1... rr e ...tttitt 1. if easy te see, though he docs net say se, Mm professor deems the perfect nese for a aaaa whose career is te be of a publie Baten. In sketching tlus nose, his per fect tye, Ftpfesser Ttompsen could net have drawn ex-Pree'ulent Cleveland's nose mere perfectly if he had had a pro file photograph of Mr. Cleveland befere him. Senater Edmunds' nose is another almost perfect specimen of this strong, virile type. Frem this point of view I have no hesitation in pronouncing the noses of Senators Evarts and Edmunds, ex-President Cleveland and Justice Mil ler the four greatest noses te be seen en the faces of American publie men. "The noses of Senators Den Cameren and Davis, Sherman and Blodgett, Vice- sPreaident Morten and Gen. B. F. Butler sleng te Professer Thompson's 6ubdivis- xe. a, in winch is revealed an ava- ricieasbut often passionate temperament, selflsbasss, determination, sometimes un scrupulous, frequently ostute and grasp teg. It mt at the tame time be re membered that these noses also indicate the general characteristics of their di Wea, firmness and trustworthiness, and the miner modifications vary greatly la individuals. ' " ' "Secretory Blaine's no is another wy geed type," centiiiucd the disciple. "Itta ene of these noses vrlth a large Ulbeus formation at the extremity, and indicatea an ambitioue a..,1 t, unwrtaln, swactlmes firm nud exacting, with decision of' character, often very Intellectual, and as a rule as sociated with a high pltched.velcc.,, Sen Sen aeor Stanford has much such a nese, and se has Senater Sherman, though his is worn pointed than bulbous. Admiral Perter also belongs te this subdivision. "There is one ether subdivision of the first or prominent type. It may be said te be a large, straight nose, without humps, curves or extraordinary size at the point. As a rule this nose denotes warm and affrctlonate disposition, geed naturcd and even tempered, sometimes Impulsive but true. Secretary Tracy's nese is a geed specimen of this class. Senater Quay's would be if it were net ipjitose prominent just below the bridge. "Coming en (e class B, which is the normal nose, of. straight lines, we find that the angles have a great deal te de with character. "Chief Justice Fuller has probably the finest, though net the strongest, nese te be found in this gallery, n splendid speci men of the class te which Professer Thompson ascribes great intelligence, firm moral character, tetnpcraiencsj In most things, honesty, even temper and sunny disposition. The angle of the clilejuftice's nese is just right. Ohe that samo'ergan n sluirpcr nngle and It rcpre- 'scnts a shrewd nature and cold tempera ment, often found in the faces of clever, sharp business men. Senater Ingalls' nese is an "example. Senators Allloen, Beck nnd 'Walthall and Secretary Keblo all have geed noses, bespeaking gener ous nhd honest natures, sometimes sen sual, but goed1 tempered, easy te get en with. The general characteristics de noted by the normal naR.il bone nre gen erosity, shrewdness, courage, generally temperate. "Ex-Speaker Carlisle, has a strong nose, ene of the most difllcttlt te clas sify. It is net what yuu would call u prominent nasal bone, nnd yet is rather larger, than normal.

Until I have made greater progress in the sricuce I shall net nt trmpl te fix ita Imlicatinns, but will say that It belongs te Professer Thompson's thlid subdivision in class 1 nnd clafts S. The first of these Is defined ns 'zcatetitt discontented, unccrtuln, sometimes firm nnd exacting, decision of character, In tellectual,' uud the second is thus de scribed: .'Though net very symmetrical in shape, (his nese usually accompanies a genemus and honest nature, rather sensual, hut geed iiaturud, courageous and true.' Hi is obvious that it will re- qttlre the nrtef a luiwter likeJ-,,'fr,'',,,r' Tliompsen te rend the nese of the ox ex speaker, whom many leeiu (he most intellectual man in our publie life and who certainly has ene of the mebt com plex of clfaraclers, "In O the types nre mero unmistakable than in the ene w e have just been tnlklng about. Tlie general characteristics indi cated by the receding nese nre obstinacy, irritability, pugnacity." I'rrsldeiit Unr riwn has a g(jod"type of this nose. Senater Histeck has n geed deal the saine sort of a nese, and it is net n pretty nese, cither net se pretty as you would expect te sce upon the face of u wnmmiy lmminmu ns me scnu- ter from New Yerk, "Senater Hear's nese belongs te thaf" class which, according te l'tofcsser Tliompsen, indicates a querulous and irritable dlsiosltien, and almost inva riably associated with n shrill veice. Senater Vent has this nese, tee. I knew Senater Hear has the shrill voice, but ns te the ether characteiibticn I fancy he, like President Harrison, has less of them nud mero of the genius, capability and firm purpose which often accompany this style of uasal bone; nnd aa te Sen ior Vest, his nese is about half way be tween the 'querulous nnd irritalile, quick temper, nervous and nnggiug,' and the next sub division which Professer Tliompsen dcuciibus as 'generally biugu lar and eccentric people, often gifted and true, frequently humorous uud clever.' Senater Vest, it hapen8, is ene of the humorous bcuaters, and se I am constrained te believe the latter sigu holds geed in his case. "At any rate," concluded the dlsclplu of noselogy, us he resumed his tracing of nasal outlines en thin linen paper, "this Is a very interesting btudy. It is as yet an experiment, but pretty seen it will be a science, and then men will rise or fall in political life by the character of their noses." Wai.teh Weixman. THE CROQUET TOURNAMENT. O. W.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE COMING -.CONFERENCE AT WASHINGTON. The Art of Communicating Betweea Tc. Mis en th Ocaii Has Been Breaglit bewn te Tcr7 Finn Point, and It WUI De Still Farther linprnTed. (Special Correspondence.) ,,?Jew Yerk, Aug. 29. "Practically It Is entirety safe te go te sea in a first class steamship of today," said Fnsign Blew, of the United States hydrographie office, the ether day, "excepting for ene thing. The danger Of flre is substantially dene away with, for the appliances are se per fect that with n large crew there is no difficulty fn subduing nny conflagration that may btait The ships that nre built nowadays will outlive any storm, even a hurrienne, nnd there is no danger of a ship built with compartments sinking from any ordinary leak. The ene peril which is net yet avoided is that of col lision. Nothing that has yet been con trived enable the most careful navigator te rest free from nnxiety en that point," This uttcranceis ene that is echoed by any and nil sea captains who will talk en the subject. They declare that nothing remains te mnke sea going piactically as safe as any land travel excepting te de n way with the danger of collision, and it is therefore comfeiting te knew that practical 6tqs have been taken toward solving this important problem. Sotne If me nge the president of the United States issued a circular letter te nil the maritime nations 'of the world, inviting them te scud delegates ten convention te be held In Washington for the purpese of considering this very question. I'nglaud nt first refused, nnd for bOiiie tiuie hung back, and, ns a mutter et course, no conference that should be held without her co-epcnilion would be of nny great ImiMirtancc. At length, hewever, tlie Kngllsh government reconsidered the quctitlen and appointed her delegates. Nearly nil the ether nations followed her cxample.niid the conference Is te be held in the coming fall. That it is much needed no ene who 13 at nil conversant with maritime matters wlllquestlen for a moment, The mini her of Vessels actually sunk by collision in the world runs net far from 200 each year, and statistics show that even this large number is increasing from year te year. The cenference will discuss many ques tions bearing en the subject of safety nt sea, but, ns Is suggested nbove. their main work w ill be directed te the use of signals for the purKr,e of avoiding col lisions, that being universally conceded te le the principal danger new encoun tered by the mariner. They nre expected, therefore, te adept a uniform sybtem of marlne signals or ether means of plainly indicating the direction In which vessels nre moving In fog, mist, falling snow and thick wealhcr, and nt night. Te their treatment of tliin htihjcct will boat beat tiauted the 11105J niiblln -iiiic,.,. .- matter of course, in order te avoid briiiginghlsewn vessel intocellisiou with another, the master must knew where that ether is, nnd at the Kame time Inform the master of the oilier vessel of his own whcrcaliwti In the case of derelicts this l'i manifestly impossible, uud con cen hcqtir.utlv the derelict InsplfeH mero terror (h.111 nnv ether fcource of peril nt fcca.

Ne practically valuable results have jet Ih'Cii attained in this direction, however, though it would be foolish in this day te deny the probability of electricity being the ultimate solution of the whole ques tion. Fer the present the only posslble rell rell nnce Is en the perception of the cye and ear, nnd this is reached In a few ways only. Flags and similar contrivances, such ns balls hung like Hags, lights, whistles or horns or slicus, guns uud bells nre the euly menus In use outside of the system of motions knew n as "vv ig ag." Wigwag is a set of motions te Ikj made by n man in bight, but out of hearing of another man, by which words can be conveyed. The sender stands in as con-f-plcueus n place us pessible nud bold! in 0110 hand, or in each hand, geiiiu ob- I ject like n flag, n cap, a stick, nnythlng I he can get, which the eye will readily fellow. Swinging this in vert iln wnvh he can talk in the Morbe alphabet by dots and dashes, while the mev euienls nre hi- I dicated by certain attitudes nrbitiaiily ' settled and agreed upon. This system is elllcially recognized by tlie nuny and navy of the United States and Kngl.uul, uud is iu use also In the merchant bcr bcr vice of both countries. It Is simple and efficacious when circumstances allow of the two men seeing each ether. In the dark or in n fog, of course, it is useless, though at night nnd under favorable cir cumstances communication may he had with lanterns under this system. Lights, also useless or nearly se in n fog, nre tlie main reliance of the mariner in trjing te lecate the vcstcl he may en counter nt night. International law fixes the manner in which vessels shall cany these lights, uud n penalty of $?00 Is llxed by act of congress for nny viola tion of the regulations. These rules prc prc scribe (hat all ocean going steamers and steamers carrying sail shall cany nt the foremast head a bright whlte light of buch a character as te be isible ou a dark night, with a clear atmosphere, nt a. distnuce of at least flve miles, nnd se constructed ns te show a uniform nud unbroken light ever an nre of the horizon of twenty points of the compass, ten points en each bide, or from dead ahead te two points abaft tlie bcui ou either side In addition te the whlte light at the masthead, the vessel must carry en the starboard bide a green light and en the pert slde a red light, which must be visi ble at least two miles, nnd must show a uniform and unbroken light ever an are of ten points, namely, from dead ahead te two points nbaft the beam. These slde lights must be screened, se as net te be visible across the bows. Ne better arrangement than this has been proposed, but a little reflection will show that this is very iuadequate and unsatisfactory. Supposing that en a dark night (he master of 11 vessel sees n red nnd a whlte light. He knows that he Is looking at the pert slde of a ves sel, but of course he cantiet tell hew fnr off she is, nor can he tell whether she Is headed almost directly toward his own chip or whether she is actually traveling away from him. Similar regulations are annlied te tun i of ether vessels, se that, nccerdln lie lookout sec whlte lights, ted cases as the lights or green lights, he can whether he Is encountering nn juiiga ocean going steamer, a towing steamer, a ves sel laying telegraphic cable, a balling ves sel, a pilot vessel, or seme small craft. Flare lights are also used nt Intervals by certain vessel, hut in nctual practice ills found that even when the regula tions nre strictly followed, as they gen erally arc, mistakes nre often made by the observer. These International regulations alto prescrlbe that in case of fog, steam Ves sels under way shall bound a steam whis tle at Intervals of net mero than ene inlnute. Sail vcsseU under way must sound n fog horn at Intervals of net mero than llve minutes, and steam and sail vessels net under way must sound n bell nt Intervals of net mero than flve minutes. Other craft, such as a canal beat or a raft, must sound a fog horn or home equivalent signal, which must make n Hound equal te a Bleam whistle, at intervals of net 111010 than two min utes. This 1) of cotirse a measurable nrotcctien from the danger of collision, but as a matter of fuctexperience shows that these noises de net tell the listener hew far off Is the vesal signaling, nor, If the fog ii heavy, In what direction ehe is. Signals of various kinds may be and nre given by long aud short blatts of the whistle. The only ones prescribed In the rules quoted, niiile from the fog sig nals Just specified, ure one, tvve nnd three short Mists.' The first means, "I am directing my cotirse te starboard;" thu bcceud, "1 am directing my courbe te ort," nnd the third, I 1111 going full bpeed, astern." The use of these Big utili Is optional, but the regulations say that If they tue used, the vcs-icl's cotirse must be In accordance with the signal made. Nevell boles'! 11 cuitniu obtains with many cenjuutidcrj of using three blasts tj mean, "I am towing some thing." Guns and rockets ure also used ea sig nals, but, excepting in the navy under special circumstances, tlieynre signals of disticss and nre net used otherwise. Such, In outline, is the only system known by which the master of a vessel can learn the facts en w hit h depend the safety of his ship, and possibly the lives of all en beard. That it falls far short of the requirements of modem com merce, gees w itheut saj ing, even in the comprehension of the landsmen, and nmeng bcamcn the wonder Is, net that a world's coufcicnce is new te be held, but that it was net held many years nge. ler net only has the danger long been realized, but various intelligent and well directed efforts have bet p made te pro pre pro vlde the remedy. Quite n number of years age Cnpt. Griffin, of thu 1'acllle Mall steamship service, who had given much Btudy te the question, prepaied nn elaborate (possibly tee elaborate, though it was simple, tee) cedo et signals, which he offered te the 01 Id for Universal adop tion. Fer, it U evident that any cede, te he of use te nny one, must be understood nnd followed by all. His plan was btudlcd and favorably received by many shipmasters, but nothing was dene tow ard the adoption of it. Intcr It vvnsnbeut 1880-Cnpt. Barker, of the United States, prepaied another cedo which wa'ifilill mero faveiably ro re ro ccived). It was investigated by bome of the great transatlantic companies whose experts approved it. It was laid befere the British admiralty and beard of trade, nnd by both theso bodies was favorably considered. Still nothing was dene until by net of congress in 1833 the pres ident was empowered te call the present conference. As a matter of courbe, no Intelligent captain ii without lilseun Ideas of what should be dene te impreve tlie system, aud as the coufcicnce will invite sugges tions, it ia likely that many wise and possibly seme foolish ideas will be pro pre bunted for their cousldcintieu. Seme suggestions, hewever, have been made by mariners who stand high in their pro fession, and seem well vveithy of adop tion. It Is noticeable that all Insist en the cedo being madu as sliuple as possible. There is no timu fer.iuiythiug but tlie barest necessities when a collision id imminent. It is suggested that eight distinct signals of seme bert beeni indis pcusdbkv ene for each fourth eiut of the compass N.. N. B.. B., S. 11, S., S. W., W. ami N. W. Further sugges tions nre that there bheuld be n standard of power for the whistles, hours, etc. Whistles are made th.it can be heard eight miles, hut many ure in use that cannot be heard mero than tvve miles. It is also urged that the intervals bo be tween signals in case of fogs should be made less, that the vvhistle bheuld Ikj placed at the bow of n vessel, where its wave sounds will carry best, mid that the regulation about "1 educed speed," if it Is retained, should be made 111010 defi nite. By the present cedo the speed is net prescribed. Falks-Cuiitib. FLORENCE E. KOLLOCK. A rewfrful Weman Trencher mid tlie Werk bhe lla Hene, (SR-clnl CorresiwtiJeuco CntjAOO, Aug. 20. A picture is fin ished when all trace of the means used te bring about the end harj disappeared, ba b Whistler. Judged by this tebt the work of the ltev. Florence Kolleck is "finished work." Whatever bIie does bears no ev idence of strain or effort Her bplendid v Iger gives the strong impres impres bien of lesource which has uevcr ap proached exhaustion, and in listening te her ene finds himself convinced that It is geed te live, because there ia se much iu hfe worth doing. "Why did 1 boceiuo a preacher?" she said, in answering the question as te her choice of a life work. "Uecause I was ceusuuied with a desire te glve forth the beautiful faith which had ceme with its gladness and hepe te be a part of my life." In her pulpit, clad in piinccss gown of dark line stuff, the sovere lines of which reveal the perfection of her tall, lissome ilguie, with her flne head thiewn back nnd her dark eyes glowing, bhe is the embodiment of inspirational cnthusi ism. She is wendci fully magnetic, and car ries forward her audience as If by magle. Still bhe is net in the least sensational either in method or matter. Dealing in facts rather than dialectics, ehe is bread, intense) aud original, and theso who have listened te her for years declare net only that her work is net a replica of early efforts, but improves iu power, strength nnd finish as the years go en. A native of Wisconsin, Miss Kolleck was educated at the btate university lo cated at Madisen. Fur tlve years n'fter her graduation she was a most success ful teacher. During this tinie she was much exerclbed in regard te religious matters. The demands of her bread and humane nature were such that ordinary cruel limitations were quite impessibla te her; in the end bhe became a Univcr salLt, and determined te preach the Gos pel as a miuhtcr of that church. Te this end she took n ceurse of study te fit herself for the work of the ministry, and began preaching at Wavcrley, Wis., In 1870. She remained at Wavcrley tvve years, and then followed the Bev. Au gusta Chapin as pastor of the Univer Kilist church at Blue Island, 0110 of Chi cago' suburbs. Duriiur Jnr pastorate there see estanHened a mission at KBftle KBftle weed. After the regular morning service at Blue Island she was in the habit of go ing across the country, a distance of be tween eight and ten miles, In any vehicle which by chance she could command, or, ether means fail ing her, of mak ing the dlstance en feet The little group which first gathered about her rapidly In creased in num bers until w Ithln a yrar a church was formed and IlEV. F. K. KOLLOCK. the became Its pastor, years nge, nnd during This was ten that time the cliuich has steadily increased in num- !ers, wpularity nnd influence. It new includes a large congregation of wealth, culture and refinement, whose members lend a hand in many different lines of the "home missionary work which offers nn ever nbundant harvest in and about, all large cities. In the amount of this kind of work which It accomplishes I think Miss Kolleck's church is, for its size, exceptional. Tills may be account ed for from the fact that a much larger proportion of her congregation than is usual ure men. Miss Frances E. Wlllard, in her "Wo men in the Pulpit," declares that when women nre freely allowed te enter the ministry the preponderance of church members will net, as new, be women, but that men, if net in the majority, will nt least be equal in number with women. Hewever this may be, it is certainly true that the number of men is fully equal te the number of women in Miss Kolleck's congregation. Asfcnilessas she is earnest, her gen gen creua, loving charity Is always equal te the demands upon it She meets the jeung with the ready understanding nud sympathy which insures confidence, and the erring with the strong, helpful, hepe inspiring encouragement which set their feet In better ways. At 0110 timu I knew of her taking up the cause of a woman who had been the subject of a public scandal, but who was nt the time leading an exemplary life. She defended her with an eloquence and Kiwcr of which Portia herself might have lecn proud. The matter came up befere an organized body of women, and In 110 uncertain way Miss Kolleck de clared that no man or woman had any right te exceed in severity the judgment of Jesus, who said te the woman "go mid sin no mere;" that the only cardinal difference between the righteous and the wicked is that whlle the former repent the latter de net, and that any human being who places difficulties in the way of theso who desire te make their future bcttct than their past is unchristian, nay mere, inhuman.
