THE EYES.
What tho Different Kind OF Eyes Indi-
cate-Their Character.

What tho Different Kind of Eyes Indi-
cate-Their Character.
Black eyes are indicative of passion
ate ardor and love.
Hasty, irritable persons have fire.
guently eyes of hrownish tint, inclined
to q greenish hue.
Green eyes, although their praises are
often sung in Spanish ballads, show de-
ceit and coquetry.
Very dark blue eyes. with something
of the tint of the violet, show great
power of affection and purity of mind,
but not much intellectually.
Brown eyes. when not of the yell
lowish tint, but pure russell brown. show
an affectionate disposition; the darker
the brown the more ardent and passion
ate is the power of affection.
The brown eyes which do not appear
black are the eyes of sweet, gentle and
unselfish natures. without the incon-
sistancy of the light brown or yellow
-''golden eyes," as they were
called by lady novelist, and which are
very little more to be trusted than the
green eyes.
Clear, light blue eyes, with q calm
steadfastness in their glance, are indi-
cative of cheerfulness of disposition, of
a serene temper and constant nature.
| These eyes are peculiar to the Northern
| nations; one meets them among the
| Swedes, and also sometimes among the
| Scotch.
The blue eyes among the rare blondes
of the Seuth-that is, in Italy and Spain,
have among them eyes in which are
some greenish tints; and such eyes,
though often called light blue, have
none of the qualities of serenity and
coustancy which belong to the light blue
eyes of the North.
Although the purely green eye indi-
Gates deceit and coquetry, the propcn-
sity to greenish tnts in the eye is sign
of wisdom and courage. Very choleric
persons, if they have blue eyes. have
also certain tints of green in them, and
when under the influence of anger a
sudden red light appears in them.
In England, where there are more
/ N1llCtiCS VA tihtS tii0it any OthCt
country. the poets have almost always
gray eyes, A biographer of Byron
speaks of his beautiful, changeful gray
eyes" Shakespeare also had. we are
told. gray eyes; Coleridge, eyes of a
greenish gray. Among the artists, too,
eyes of this color abound.
The pleasant light blue eye with the
honest glance must not be COMPOUNDED
with another sort of eve of pale blue,
almost steel colored hue. which has q
continually shifting sort of motion, both
of the eyelids and the pupils of the eye
People with such eyes as these are to be
avoided, as they are indicative of de-
ceitful and selfish nature.
Gray eyes, of somewhat green:sh
gray, with orange as well as blue in
them, and which are of ever varying
tints like the sea, are those which de
note most intellectually. They are
ec'ally indicative of the impulsive
impressionablo temperament-a mix
ture of the sanguine and the bilious
which produces the poetic and artistic

ICEBERGS.
Suggestions Looking to Protection Against
Them.

Suggestions Looking to Protection Against
Them.
Never were there so many icebergs
in the Atlantic as during last May and
June. These were found as far south
as 80 degrees, and were in the line Of
the steamships that ply between Europe
and America. Navigation, therefore,
has been extra perilous. for the vapor
of icebergs is foggy, and in the night
there is no means of gauging how near
they are to ship. The City of Berlin.
with 1,400 passengers, struck an iceberg
in the night. but she was saved from
destruction by her long bowsprit and
prov, an unusual appendage to newly
built steam-vessel. Inventors have
recently been at work to find means OF
protecting steamships from these col
lisions. Prof. Bell suggests that an
echo might tell of the proximity of an
iceberg, and commended the plan pro-
posed by Mr.. F. Della Tore, of Balti-
more for cffeeting this object. This was
tested on Chesapeake Bay. The apparatus
consisted of speaking-trumpet at
tacneu 10 the muZZie Oh D muSket, from
which blank cartridges were fired at
passing vessels. The experiment so far
succeeded that at mile off river steam
boats and passing schooners returned
echoes at intervals proportionate to
their distance. Another apparatus en-
ploys a bell for producing the sound.
and large open vessel received the
echo. The sound in this case was con-
veyed to the officer of the deck by tele-
phone. These and other inventions are
being tested, and, if successful. they
win greatly reduce the danger of ice
berg collisions. Intense fogs and a
lower temperature are now the only
means of suggesting that large ice
field is near. Steamships now pillow
through the ocean at so rapid pace
that q collision with an iceberg would
be certain destruction. There are other
ocean perils, such as abandoned vessels.
of which there are thousands ahoat on
the ocean, collision with any one of
which might sink noble ship freighted
with human liyes.--Depaoresfs Monthly.

Effect of Light on Milk.

Direct sunlight very soon spells milk or cream by premature sour- ing and decomposition. The ef- feet of indirect or reflected light has been but little observed. It nevertheless eXerts an active in> f1uence, not only upon milk and cream, but upon butter and cheese while curing. The general effect of light upon cream is to hasten the action of the tactic yeast, and then the formation of alcohol, and after that to hurry up putrefac- tion, and these changes are occa- stoned by the influence of reflected light the same as direct light, only in a feebler degree. The first effect, however, of a small quan- tity of reflected light-a quantity that would enable one with good eyes to read ordinary print-is to highten the color of cream during an exposure of thirty-six to forty eight hours. AS soon as the quantity of light allowed to fall upon milk, is increased beyond the small amount named, it's in- fuence is soon manifested upon the cream, causing it to become sour and stale, lose color and flavor; and if the light is strong, it's surface is soon covered with mould and pimples, when the milk standing in shaded posi-. ton will be all right. The con- clusion is that too much light is of- ten the cause of faulty butter, and even butter will fade if exposed to the light though it be in brine.
