PHILosoPHY OF THE EYEs.--The
mental character, says the London
Qorterly Rcc5eto, may be often measur.
ed by the retlna. Thus, an eve with
a large cornea and comparatively
small white part, gives a strong but
too animal expression; while an eye
with a smaller cornea IF it be not eX-
tremely smalI) expresses delicacy, a
higher senslbility, and spirituality.
The ancients gave the former to their
Juno the early Christian artists gave
the latter to their figures Of saints and
angels. A long opening between the
eyeIlds, showing mach white gives
the eye an expression Of taste and
senslbility. A short, high op ming has
a more animal look. Eyes set too
near or too far ssunder are alike ami.
nal IN expression and in meaning, the
former are Ike the eyes of apes, the
latter like those of oxen, dogs and
hor-es.
In the colors of the eye, both the
white and the various tints 0; the iris
must be studied In clear pure white
we see Intuiiively mind that might
be so described; a dirty or yeIlowish
white makes us SUSPECT the opposite
character white that is too blue, like
that of delicate child; one that j.
bloodshot, if it does not confess to IN
temperate or over work, suggests pie,
thora and violence Of temper. Dark
blue eyes are most common IN person
of delicate, refined, or effeminate ma
lures light blue and much more gray
eyes, in the hardy and active. Green
ish eyes have, generally, the same
meaning as the gray; Lava'er says
they are, sin some sort, distinctive
sign of vivacity and courage. Hazel
eyes are more usual indications of a
mind masculine, vigorous and pro-
found just as genius, properly 50 cal
led, IS almost always associated with
eyes Of yelIowish cast, bordering on
hazel The brightness and the dull
ness os the eyes are as evident, IN their
opposite meanings. as are the contrasts
of light and darkness. And scarcely
less is the glance or fash Of the eye,
like a light, to illuminate and show the
depth Of meaning in every expression
with which it appears.
