Nose are dews to crime ir a criminal's sin does not find him out bis nose la very likely to betray him. , With tbe nose under suspicion, as it were, an entertaining series of specuHe lations Is afforded the observer wonders what his own nose says about him, and he finds himself studying tbe evidence outlined in tbe noses of others. Science accepts the human nose as a truthful witness with testimony for or aga'nst its owner August Drahms, resident chaplain of tbe State Prison at San Quentin, has expounded this interesting theory, with vo'uminous statistical b a book called reasons to justify The Criminal, , Scientific Study, which U Just no attraiting thg attention of tbe entire scientific world. Says Drahms, In the San I'ranciBco Examiner, concerning the nose, the feature which, In his opln! n. Is natures sign of warning when she would reveal the true character of man or woman: Criminal XiM. "The nasal indices In normals are less than those of criminals. The nose, generally rectilinear, large, and frequently crooked or malformed, with large wings and orifices, sometimes undulating and with uplifting base, is peculiar to them. Among habitual criminals I found, upon examination, 44 per cent possessed noes deviating to one side or malformed, among thieves, 48 per cent crooked, and o among homicides, 42 per cent. found 25 per cent crooked noses among female offenders; flat noses, 40 per cent in normals, 12 per tent In homicides and 20 per cent in thieves. are doubtless largely Malformation due through accident, attributable t their wandering - habits, drunken brawls and general recklessness." Compare the criminal nose above with the others shown and then carry your studies into the street You will find the study fascinating and there will be much to startle the keen observer. The criminal nose here given top composite from the photographs ef half a dozen confirmed criminals, men wn bt vicious t but from deliberate choice and because they Jrave brute blood In their veins. The clerical nose is that of the Rev. Dr. Mackenzie. The poetic - - - nose is that of Edwin Markham, The moneyed man Is Daniel Meyer. Judge North, of San Francisco, represents the judicial type and the Governor of California serves to illustrate the politician. The athlete is Lanky Bob Fitzsimmons and the actor Is a composite type. Chaplain Drahms Is an Interesting teacher on the subject of criminals In their variety. Learn of him If you would pick your criminal from among bis fellow creatures. He has studied to such excellent purpose that the published results of his researches will be placed alongside authorities on 'criminology. Startling Statement. A startling statement, which will especially interest the layman, Is made by Mr. Drahms to the effect that the greater per cent of criminals in for sign countries is furnished by the churches, while in America the church ts do not contribute to crime. Lombroso, the great Italian criminologist, upon this point states that (1 per cent of the violators and 56 per eent of the assassins in Italy frequent churches. , Chaplain Drahms Is of the opinion that American criminals as a class are different from the criminal classes of foreign countries, and that the causes of their criminality are different He Cali-fornl- a, Lom-bros- , says; Careful Inquiry convinces me that 1 per cent of the total prison population held actuaT membership in good standing with any church at tbe time of committal to prison; and, as to the habitual criminal, or rlckllvlst, I have never known such an Instance." Is it true, then, that American churches are ao much more potent than foreign churches In the matter of rest raining from crime those who come regularly under their influence? . BSSu Being Are Sevagca.

If the strand breaks, it can be rcptacBd and ao plaited as not to affect the work hr he visible to the naked eye. It requires from three to five months dally labor of three hours s day to make one of th finest hats, which would be a month or a month and a half of eight-boday. The business In Its highest development is really an art, requiring patience, fine sight and special skill qualifications few of the natives possess. Tbe plaiting completed, the hat is washed In clean, cold water, coated with a thin solution of gum, and polished with dry powdered sulphur. They are so pliable that they can be rolled up without Injury and put In one's pocket; they will last for years and can be cleaned repeatedly. Natives of both sexes and all ages are engaged in this work at odd times, tbe business being a side Issue. Children make from raw, undressed straw about two of ths commbn hats a day, Tbe Cuenca hat wholesales st from $7.93 to $26 40 a dozen; 'finest, $5 28 th $6 60 each; the Manavl hat brings $1,32 to 22 a dozen; finer hats, $1.49 to $17.60 each; fancy hats, $22 to $44 and more each. The finest hats ever made were by a native named Palma and were exhibited at the Paris exposition, when Napoleon IIL Fas emperor. The two best were bought by a Frenchman for $193 and presented to the emperor and Marshal MacMahon. Palma Is dead, but there are two or three others who possets equal akllL Monotony In shape has been perhaps one of the chief causes why the hats have not been more popular, but If dealers would take up the matter the natives' could easiry ffiaki any style desired. Ladies hats may be worn successive seasons; cleaned and they appear perfectly new. Poverty-strickeCubs revels In the expensive1 Panama hat. Americans either cant afford to wear them or else do not rare to do so. In 1899 Cuba took directly Panama bts to the value of $41,019. and nearly all of the hats sent to the United States, valued at $09,477, were transhipped to Cuba. The total value of last years exportations of Panama hats fiom Ecuador was $100,876 Costa Rica, Coorabla and Mexico together took $8 057 In value, and all other countries, except those mentioned, the balance of $11,723 Our consul general In Guayaquil, Ecuador, Perry M de Leon, says that the Manavl (Panama) bat was made first In the province of Manavl, Ecuador, about 275 years ago, by a native, Francisco Delgado The present centers of the industry are Monte Crlstl and Jlpijapa, In the province cf Manavl, and Santa Elena and Cuenca, in the provinces of Cuayas and Asuay, respectively They came to be known as Panama hats years ago, whsn that city was a distributing center.

The plaiting begins at tbe apex of the crown and Is continued in circular form until ths hat Is finished. The work Is carried on while Two years ago. In auditing the accounts of s certain union the district auditor made the discovery that the sum of one farthing was missing from a balance of one parish Accordingly he Instructed the local official to find out how the error arose and report all about it A couple of day afterwards Information duly arrived that the recovered. missing farthing had been In ths quest been spent bad Four hours a of it, and this, and the attendance second time st the audit, cost the ratepayers exactly 20 shillings. comes An even more amusing case anthe Upon council district from a meddistrict the of nual reappointment ical officer it was proposed to reapportion hi salary.
