Women Without Noses.

The leper quarter of Jerusalem is just outside of Zion Gate. We first saw a woman without any nose, who was hanging clothes upon a line in her back yard. Going a little further, we came upbn sights that beggar description. Stumps of arms were held up to us, hands from which fingers were dropping away, faces wrapped about with cloths to keep the parts together. Mute appeals -for charity gurgled through throats without palates.— Cor. New Orleans Times-Democrat.
