BY H1swAY OF LooKING.--It is afaet not gen. orally well known that mechanic may be known by the way he looks at you. The shoe maker will look down at your shoes, the halter at your nat, tailor at your clothes, and so on 10 the end of the chapter; each one looking at the part that concerns him most. This can be proved by observation; whenever you meet a man who eyes your feet more than any other part you may make up your mind that he is 3 shoemaker calculating for a job; anl you will flnd, upon enquiry, that you were nc far from right in your conjectures.
