NAN,

Dogs alone supply the outlines OF half
the faces we know. There is. the bull dog

dandy legs and heavy shoulders did you

eyes close under the brows, the bullet fore.
head the heavy jaw and the snub nose, all

Then the mas.iff, with his double bass
voice, and the square hanging jaw and
the shabby looking turnspit with his hair
out at all sides; and this drawn up to ito
roots and the grey hound, lean Of rib and
sharp Of voice; and the terrier-who is

and q restlessness in his eye, as If ment.

Tyke, all beard and moustache and glossy

or: and the noble old. Newfoundland dog,
perhaps brave old soldier from active
service, who is chivalrous to women and
gentle 10 children; and who rebels petty
snnoyahoss with grand patience that is
vertically heroic.
Reader, il you know Newfoundland
dog man, cherish him, stupid as he proba-
bly, will be, yet he is worth your love-
Then We have horse faced men, with men
like camels, with quite the camel lip; and
the sheep faced man, with his forehead re-
treating from his long, energetic nose
smooth men without whiskers, and with
shining hair cut close, and not curling, like
pS5ntss; the lion man-he is grand
fellow; the bull headed man the fat ser.

pyramid !; and the CRATES lengthy unhclp-

that their characters correspond somewhat
with their persons?
know woman who might have besn
the ancestor Of oil the rabbits in all the
hutches in England. A soft, downy-look-
ing, fair, placid woman, with long hair
looping down like ears, and innocent face
Of mingled timidity and surprise. She is q
sweet tempered thing, always eating OF
sleeping ); who. breathes hard when she
goes up stairs, and who has as few brains
in working order as human being can gel
on with. She is just human rabbit, and
nothing more; and she looks like one.-
We all know the se.ter.woman,--the beas,
Of al types graceful, animated, well.
formed, intelligent, with large eyes and
wayy hair, who walks with Arm tread
but light one, and who can turn her
hand to anything. The true setter. woman
is always married, she is the real woman
Of the world. ~ al, g.t....sa.. E... .-
Then there is the Blenheim spaniel, who
covers up her face in her rnglets, and
holds down her head when she talks, and
who is shy and timid. And there is tn,
greyhound woman, with lantern jaws ant
braided hair and large knuckles, rather
distorted. There is the cat woman, too
elegant, stea'thy, clever, carressing; who
walks without noise, and is great in thu
way Of endearment. No limbs are so per
feet Is hers, backbone so wonderfully phi
ant, no voice so sweet, no manner so en-
leariDg She extracts your secrets from
you before you know you have spoken
and half an hours conversation, thai
graceful purring woman has revealed t.
her every most dangerous fact it has beer
your lfe's study to hide. The cat woman
is . most dangerous animal. She ha,
claws hidden in that velvet paw, ant
she can draw blood when she unsheaths
them. 't@
Then there is the cow.faced woman
generally Of phlegmatc temperament anc
melancholy disposition, given to piou,
books and teetotalism. And there is III,
lurcher woman. the strong minded female
who wears rough coats, with mans peck
cts, and large bone buttons, and who's
bonnets fling spiteful defiance at boil
beauty and fashion. This is the wonderful
creature who electrifes foreigners by climb
ing their mountains in mongrel sort o
attire, in which mems cloth trowsers form
The most striking features; and who goe
about the business Of life in rough, grufi
lurcher like fashion, as if grace and beaut,
vera the two cardinal sins of womanhooI
aud Ehe.were on ''missios" to put then
down. This is not desirable animal.
We have women like merino sheep, they
wear their hair oyer their eyes and far OF
10 their necks. And women like poodl
dogs, with fuzzy heads and round eyes
women like kangaroos, with short arms
and clumsy kind of hop when the,
walk : and we have active, intelligent, lit
tie women, with just the faintest suspicion
Of a rats face as they look after the ser
wants and inspect the mysteries of the jan
closet. Then there are pretty little mar
moset faces. ...

enhaired, Silky Tamarin il the Geological
Gardens. Its gentle, plaintive, lovin,

that have always . tear behind them, an,
