Round-eyed persons see much, live much in the senses, but think less. Mar row-eyed persons, on the other hand, see. less. but think and feel more ln- teusely. IL will be observed that the eyes of children are open and round. Their whole life is to receive impress sions. It is only when childhood IS
 maturing toward manhood or woman
 hood that thought comes, If tt comes at
 all. But what IS it that most leads to
 reflection? Experience. Our errors, our
 shortcomings, our failures-these teach
 us to think before we act, to consider
 each step, to weigh every motive. When,
 therefore, the upper eyehd-for It IS that which has the greatest amount or nobility-droops over the eye, 1t lndi- cates not merely reflection but some thing painful to reflect about. Hence the length CT dropping of the upper eye l lid betokens confession and penltence.
 The dropping of half of the eyeids from the outer angle to the center indl- cates the disposition to confess ones faults to parents or seniors, to father confessor," or to the Supreme Belng. | The dropping of half of the eyellds from the inner angle to the center betokens the disposition to repent and to do works
 meet for repentance. Closely allied to
 these sights are those of prayerfulness and humility. The former IS indicated ! by the muscle which turns the eye d.
 rectly downward, as represented m the l pictures of the Madonna. Prayeriulness
 is usually large in connection with that of penitence, the reason of which IS that
 between the faculties of penitence and
 humility there is the same close connec- ton as between confession and prayer. One who has habitually more prayer than humility has the eye turned somewhat
 upward so that the upward part of the iris is a little covered by the upper eye lid, and so as to leave a slight space be-
 tween the iris and the lower lid. The
 reverse is true of one who has more | humility than prayer.
 The faculty of truth-that IS, the love
 of lt-is indicated by the muscle which
 surrounds the eye, causing folds and
 wrinkles. Justice IS indicated by the
 muscle which causes perpendicular
 wrinkles between the eyebrows. Full
 ness and wrinkles under the eye, for which some persons are remarkable, ln- | dicate the love of mathematical accu-
 rRcy; and wrinkles curvlng upward from
 the outer angle of the eye and eyebrow
 Indicate probity or personal truthful ness. There are three degrees of the
 faculty of justice. The first is a kind of
 exactness or strict honesty in small
 money matters, which some people
 would call closeness, and IS indicated by
 a singular perpendicular wrinkle or line between the eyebrows. The second IS
 the disposition to require justice in oth-
 CTS, and is indicated by two perpendicu-
 lar lines or wrinkles, one on each side of the center-a very common sign. The
 third degree is conscientiousness, or the
 disposition to apply the rule of justice
 to ones self. and is indicated by three or
 more wrinkles or lines, especially no- ticeable, extending above the eyebrow when the muscle is in action. The love | of command is indicated by one or more short transverse wrinkles across | the root of the nose, exactly between | the eyes. It may be seen III great mlll- | tary commanders, in masters and teach
 CTS, and in those generally who are fond | of exercising authority. In those who
 are wanting in the power to command,
 and have no desire for responsibility, | this sign is also absent. The faculty of
 command frequently acts with that part
 of justice which reprimands, or requires
 others to do right, and both together
 produce that frowning and lowering brow which is so terrible to evil dOers or | to those who love to be approved rather 1 than condemned.
