What the Eyes Indicate.


Black eyes are indicative of passion
ate ardor in love.
Hasty, irritable persons have fire.
quently eyes of "A brownish tint, inclined
to a greenish hue.
Green eyes, although their praises
are often sung i'm Spanish ballads, show
deceit 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 yellow
ish tint, but pure russet brown, show an
aiiectionate disposition the darker the
brown the more ardent and passionate
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.
stancy of the light brown or yellow
eyes-"golden eyes" as they were call.
ell 10y a lady novelist, and which are
very little more to be trusted than the
green eyes.
Clear light blue eyes, with calm
steadfastness in their glance, are indi-
cative Of cheerfulness of disposition, of
a serene temper and constant nature.
These eyes are neculiar 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 South-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
constancy which belong to the light
blue eyes of the North.
Although the purely green eye indi-
Gates deceit and coquetry, the propenr
sity to greenish tints in the eyes is
sign of wisdom and courage. Very
choleric persons, il they have blue eyes,
have also certain tints of green i'm them
and when under the influence of anger
sudden red light appears I'm them.
In England-where there are more
varieties of tints i'm eyes than in any
other countryside roets have almost
always gray eyes. A biographer of
Byron speaks of his "beautiful change
ful 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 cOnfounded
with another sort of eye of pale blue,
almost steel-colored hue, which has
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 in
dicative of a deceitful and selfish ma
ture.
Gray eyes, of somewhat greenish
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
especially indicative of the impulsive,
impressiOnable temperament-a mix
ture of the sangulne and the bilious
which produces the poetic and artistic
natures.-Ex.

The Origin of Mr." and Mrs.

The history of these everyday titles
of Mister and Mistress, which are now
the common property of everyone, is
not without interest, though in some of
its steps il il little obscure. In the
earlier times of our history the ordinary
man was simply William or John
that is to say, he had merely a Christ
ian name, without any kind of chan
die before it, or surname after il. Some
means of distinguishing one John or
one William from another John or an
other William became necessary. Nick
names, derived from mans trade, or
from his dwelling"place, or from some
personal peculiarity, were tackled on to
their Christian names, and plain John
became plain John Smith. As yet
there We're no "Misters" in the land.
Some John Smith accumulated more
wealth than the bulk of his followers
because. perhaps, a landed proprietor, or
employer of hired labor. Then he be-
gan to be called, in the Norman. French
of the day, the "Maistre" of this place,
or of that, Of these wOrkmen or of those.
In time the "Maistre," or "Maister,"
as it soon got to he, was tackled on be-
fore his name, and he became Master
Smith, and his wife became Maistress
Smith. But gradually the sense of pos
session was lost sight of, and the title
was conferred upon any man who had
attained social distinction of any kind,
whether by mere possession of wealth,
or by holding some position of more or
less importance. 1t is only within
comparatively modern times that the
term came to be considered an almost
indispensable adjunct to every ones
name when mentioned in ordinary
conversation or writing. Maistress
Smith soon became Mistress Smith.
Exactly how or when the term got
corrupted cannot be said. MasterSmith,
however, remained Master Smith, long
after his wife became Mistress Smith.

oil is now put is that of dressing and
softening leather for boots. 1t was
formerly used for dosing children whose

awful dose it was. Now we give suffer-

The Youths COMPANION.

A gentleman who paid the best
prices for his provisions, and who
liked to live as well as did his neigh
bors, was once deceived by the poul
terer in the age of some poultry he
bought. Meeting the dealer a few
days afterward he walked up to his
wagon and inquired:
Got any geese to day?"
"Oh, yes" said the the poulterer,
ga fine lot."
Glow many have you got?"
GA dozen-nice ones"
The customer turned them over,
and then he added:
NOW, you see, I've got pesky lot
Of fellows at my house. an they eat a
great deal of poultry. Haven't you
got any tough ones?"

Eyes, yes; that's all. "said the seller,

concluded the buyer, "I'll take the
other lot"
The poulterer looked thoughtful,
and, like most thoughtful people, was
silent.

A CURIOUS case for the study of the
geolegist was unearthed Friday last
in Indianapolis. W. w. Worthing-
ton, foreman of the work of improv>
ing the courthouse yard, had occasion
to break in pieces a huge slab OF lines
stone from the quarries of Greensburg
Southern Indiana. The piece of stone
was about fourteen inches thick, and
in the heart of 1t was imbedded part
of a huge sea crawfish lobster, the YER
teb'8 and bones corresponding pre-
cisely to those in that wellsknown
animal of the crustacean variety.
The specimen obtained measured
eighteen inches IN length, and was
evidently but two thirds of the en-
tire animal. It has been sent to the
geological department Of Purdue Uni

Making Money.
Taunton (NIass.l Gazette.

1t does not need to be asserted that
money making in topic of universal
interest and acceptance with the
classes of people from the self-asser-
tive itch to the humblest poor. Money
is god universally worshiped. Its
affairs are on every hilltop and valley
at every hamlet and Preside. Money
is the euphuism of synonym OF all
human comfort, luxury or advantage:
the possession or it stamps its holder
as a man of power in the community,
and has become an essential in the
organization of business. It is topic
always discussed; never laid aside,
ever present and of enlarged interest
day by day, In the factory and field,
IN the church and forum. It has ever
been SO since the civilization, and
must yer remain so long as civiliza-
ton lasts.
Money is the solvent of trouble, the
charm for the hungry, the solace of
him that is ready to die; for the
troubled soul feels that with money he
could remove disquietude; the hungry
knows he could buy food; the man
just gong into the unknown feels
that his grave will be paid for, and
not in the Potter's field. And as long
as "earth has It's price for what it
gives up" and ''the beggar must pay
for corner TO die in" we may expect

Precautions Against Thieying.
New York Letter in the Albany Journal.

New York Letter in the Albany Journal
In tina matter of pay for services
the general assumption in the business
of New York City has come to be
that all men are thieves. That seems
harsh and hard, bat experience has
taught that safety against robbery lies
in treating every handler of ones
money as possibly dishonest. 1t is
only ten years ago that the street~car
conductors were indignant because
the bell-punch was introduced; but
some of them soon proved, by ingen-
ious devices to beat it, that they de-
served the precaution. Mechanical
guards against stealing have multipli-
ed, until now a machine for register
ing receipts is conspicuous on half the
Cashiers, desks in town. Bartenders
in the bigger GROCERIES have to hand
all the money to chap behind an
apparatus that stamps the amount of
