Perpendicular wrinkles-thOSe between

they are sometimes seen in extreme youth.
when much accentuaied they show appli-
cation and thought, habits OF eoncentra-
ton: we invariably knit the brOws

These perpendicular wrinkles on the
forehead are, however, often the traces
OF hsbitual indulgence in anger; therefore,
TO be sure Of the indication. one should
have TO consider the temperament. II the
skin is OF the color and texture which de.
note the choleric or saDgliue temperament,
one would probably he right In attrlbuting
the formation OF the perpendicular Hrin-
HE. in such face to the habtual indul-
gence OF anger; but il seen in person
OF the lympathic or melancholy temperl-
ment we should be most likely correct
IN aitributng the lines 10 the habit OF
thought. Persons OF the purely Emphatic
temperament rarely have these perpendicu-
lar lines: they are too indoleht 10 indulge
much IN study and too indifferent TO he
given 10 anger. In persons OF bilious
temperament the lines would probably be
produced from both causes from the deep
thought OF study and also from the in-
diligence Of fits OF anger-for the bilious
Temperament is especially an irritable one,
though at the same time highly intellectual.
being the result OF the double influence OF
Apollo and Mercury.
Horizontal wrinkles across the forehead.
especially il broken in the middle, show an
anxious and somewhat irctful nature. il
the lips are thin and dropping. These lines
are, however. often the result OF continued
by the veXations OF domestic life; hence
they are more commonly seen on the fore
head. Of women than men, TO whom the
DerpendIcular wrinkles are more COM
mon. Apart from the deductions 10 he
made from the observation Of the
tcmporameni. there j. another indica-
ton winch sometimes serves 10 distinguish
the perpendicular lines OF anger and
thought. Those caused by a habit OF con-
ccntrated attention by deep thought are
generally OF unequal lengths. whilst those
caused w the Vcrpctu1lly recurrent form
Of anger are shorter. deeper, but both of
oqual lengths. We sometimes see only one
OF these perpendicular lines between the
eyes, in which ease there !, no longer any

habit Of thought rather than Of anger.
The eyebrows have 50 much 10 d. with
the indications given 10y the brow that II
will be we'll TO speak OF them in this arti-
Gle. When the eyebrows are far from each
other at their stlrting-poirt between the
ewes. they denote warmth, frankness, and
impu'se--a generous and unsuspiciOu, ma

brows eouii never be caGy,Icy,y jealous.
Eyebrows, on the contrary, which Inc / be-
tween the eyes in the manner - much adj
mired by The Per>ians, denote a tempera-
ment ardent 10 love, but jealous and su-pi-
ciOus.
Eyebrows somewhat higher al their
starting point. and which pass IN long,
sweeping line over the eyes, drOopug
slightly downward at their termination,
show artistic feeling and great sense OF
beauty in form. The Empress Eugeue's
eyebrows are OF this form, Which gives
sweet and wistiul expression to the face,
and which some old writers have asserted
TO be the sign Of violent death.
Eyebrows lying very close TO the eyes,
forming one direct clear line on strongly
defined cyclones having the same form.

nation OF character. This sort OF eyebrow
appears on the bust Of Nero: but then is

into cruelty BY the massive jaw and the de-
velopmcnt OF the cheek-bOne by the ear.
This form OF eyebrow, in conjunction
with other good indications, would
mean only consistency in affection and
power of carrying out project despite all
difficulties. Eyebrows that are strongly
marked at the commencement, and that
terminate abruptly without sweeping past
the eyes, show an irsscible aud impatient
nature. Eyebrows slightly arched show
sensltiyeness and tenderness OF nature;
but eyebrows that are 80 much arched a. TO
