How the Eyebrows Are Read.

The following suggestive results Of
observation are contributed by stu
dent of the various outward manifesto
tons of character.
Eyebrows thlt are far apart show
warmth, franhness, impulse, and a gen
erons, unsuspicious ture. Where
they meet, the owner will be ardent in
love, but Jealous and suspicious. Eye.
brows which are higher at starting, and
pass in long, sweeping lines over the
eyes, dropping slightly downward at
the termination, give artistic feeling
and sense of beauty in form.
When they are very close to the eyes,
forming one line on strongly defined
eyebrows, they Indicate strength OF
will and determination. Strongly
marked at the commencement and ter
minating abruptly without sweeping
past the eyes, they reveal an iTasciblc
and impatient nature.
The slightly arched eyebrows arc in
dicat.ve of sensit.veness and tender
ness. If straight at the commence
ment and slightly arched at the tenn
pies, they show tirmncss of purpose
and tenderness of heart. The eye
brows of persons who are deficient in
tie science of figures aye very much
raised at the tc mination, leaving q
wide space between them and the cor
ners of the eyes. If they are close to
the eyes at the end, it is an almost in
variable sign of mathemati al talent.
When the eyebrows are of the same
color as the hair, we may look for firm
ness, resolution, and constancv, but if
lighter than the hair they signify weak
ness and indecision; if darker, the tenn
per is ardent, passionate, and incon-
slant.
When the ha' is RULED and growing
in contrary directions it accompanies
an energetic, easily irrita ell nature.
The ha L is fine and soft when the dis
position is ardent but tender. Short
hairs lying closely together and leaning
one way show a firm mind, and good,
unerring perceptions. Eyebrows whose
hair is bent downward, almo, meeting
the eyelashes when the eyes are raised,
indicate tenderness and melancholy.
The nearer they are to the eyes the
more earnest, deep, and firm the char
acter. The more remote, the more yol-
alto and less rcsolutc. -1id- Bits.

An Adagc that Went Work.

One of those absurd adages and
they add ages to II man who bOther5
his brains with them-which go the
rounds of the papers, says: "Never
give YOUR fri ndship to Il man who is
not sup nrior to yod." Let's see how
that arrangement would work should
everybody adop. it. A. has quantity
of friendship on hand that he has no
use for and he is anxious to give it to
somebody in exchange for his. Mind
ful of the adaga, he looks about for u
man superior to himself. When he
finds him he says: "Sir, would you
accept Sc ton of my friendship,
neatly framed, that you can hang in
your library: and could You give me
ONE of yours in return to ornament
my front room?" Then b., who OBJ
serves the same adage, asks: Are
you superior to me?
NO, am not" SAYS A. II am much
Inferior to you, else | would not offer
you my friendship"
Your infariority bars you out" says
b., with lofty scorn. Il never give my
friendship except to IL superior.
Then b. goes off to find Il man who
lays over him in every particular to Of
fer his friendship to, and when he
finds him he gets the same rebuff tha'
lie G We A. And so it might go on in
definitely, AMI there me- BE- enough
friendship in the country to borrow Il
dollar ON.
Whenever You are tempted to cut an
adaga out of newspaper and paste il
i'll your hat, select some old hat that
YOU have got no further use for ano
then give tn hat to the poor immed:
ately. An adlge that isn't based OF
truth do snt gain added valuc by time
A thousand years old adage chat is alb
surd isn't any better than one that wa
made twcnty-four hours ago and has
the paint still green upon it. 1t you
must have an adage, though, sit down
and think one out yourself. SJttngs

Willing to Sell His Life.

A soldier sometimes acquires reck-
iessness in risking his life which may
show itself in other places than on the
battlefield, and which illustrates one
evil effect of war in dulling the sens-
bilities to ordinary caution and pru-
dence. In one of the wars on the
continent of Europe, in the last CEN
tury, in which England and Spain were
allied, George Hazelwood, an English
soldier, was taken prisoner by the
Dutch, In company with twenty-three
Spaniards.
Prince Maurice, who was in command
of the Dutch, ordered that eight of the
prisoners should be put to death, in re-
talIa'lon for n like sentence passed
upon eight Dutch soldiers not long
b fore. 1t was ordered that it should
be decided by lo5 upon which of the
prisoners the death penalty should fall.
When the Englishman turn came
he drew lot which told him thas his
life was spared. He said nothing, but
stood by to see the rest of the dreadful
ordeal.
Presently, two or three fatal lots hay
ing been drawn, a Spaniarl stepped
ont to put his hand into the helmet
who showed a great reluctance to do

were evidences of marked revival of
