"vfcToR, THE BLUE STOCKING"
Mile. Ielie dc Lussan's first appearance
In this city was most gratifying success.
The house was crowded and the audience
enthusiastically apprccative. Mile. dc
Lussan is petite in person, but OF pleasing
appearance. She has pure soprano voice,
light In quality, but very sweet and flexible.
She was repeatedly encored last night.
The opera given was "Nictor, the Blue
Stocking" light opera, pleasing in theme,
but not very taxing to the capacity of the
singers. Miss Huntington repeated her sue
cess OF the previous evening. Mr. Me-
Donald, In the title role, showed his abili-
ties as a singer and actor. Barnabee was as
pleasing as ever. Mcssrs. Clcary, Morsell,
rockingham and Montgomery all came in
for large share of the glory due to the
success of the opera. Tonight THE
Bohemian Girln will be given with Mile.
de Lussan as AriiUc.

interrupted by applause. The support Is

Lan:unge of the Eyes.

Long almond-shaped eyes, with thIck-skinned eyelids that cover half the pupil, are indicative of when they are found in e0niunction with a brow which is $full over the eyebrows, and which has one deep perpendicular line between the eyebrows. I have frequently noticed this combina- tion in the faces of distinguished literary men and artists. The almond-shaped eye, however, even without this particular form of forehead, always means suscepti- ble. impressionable nature. Eyes which are large, open, and very transparent, and which sparkle with a rapid motion under we'll defined eyelids, denote elegance in taste, a somewhat susceptible temper, and great interest in the opposite sex. Eyes with weakly marked eyebrows above them, and with thinly-growing eyelashes, which are completely without any upward curve, denote feeble con- stitution and a melancholy dispo- sition. Deep-sunken and small blue eyes, under bony, almos. perpendicular forehead, are indie ative of selfish and cold-hearted natures. Eyes which show not only the whole of the iris, but also some of the white both above and below it, denote a restless, uncertain nature, incapable of re- pose or of concentrated thought on any subject. The eyes of a voluptuary move slowly under heavy lids. Round-shaped eyes are never seen in the face of a highly intellectual person, but they denote kindly, truthful, and innocent nature. Eyes which, when seen in profile, are so pro- tuberant as to run almost parallel with the profile of the nose, show a weak organization oj the body and mind. Eyes rather close to- gether show penetration, but eyes close together denote cunning and m untruthful disposition. Eyes rather far apart are indicative of fraukness and simplicity of pur- pose, an honest and guileless nature. When, however, the eyes are very far apart they denote stupidity. Eyes with sharply de- fined angles, sinking at the corners, show subtlety of mind; the sharp CT the angle and the more it sinks, the greater the delicacy of percep- ton it denotes; but when very much developed it shows also craftiness amounting to deceit. Well-opened eyes, with smooth eyelids and a steady and somewhat fixed glance, denote sincerity. Lines running along the eyelids from side to side, and passing ont upon the temples, denote habitual laughter-a cheerful temperament or. at any rate. one Tn which thc sense of finn Is sLronr.

A very simple elixir of life has been proposed by learned pro lessor of Ghent. He asserts that if the world would only take the proper amount of salt, centenarl- ans would become almost as com mon as newborn babes. Accor- ding to his theory, salt is the great regularizing agent, and he esti- mates that the quantity of salt which every adult in ordinary health should consume daily is two. thirds of an ounce.
