eyes, dropping slightly downward at the ter
mnaiiOn, give artistic feeling and sense OF
beauty in form.
When they are very close to the eyes, form

they indicate strength of will and determine
ton. Strongly marked at the commence
ment and terminating abruptly without
sweeping past the eyes, they reveal an irasci-
BILE and impatient nature.
The slightly arched eyebrows are indicative
of sensitveness aud tenderness II straight
ut the commencement and slightly arched al
the temples, they show firmness of purpose
and tenderness of heart
The eyebrows of persons who are deficient
in the science OF fguree are very much rails
ed at the termination, leaving wide space
between them and the corners of the eyes.
If they are close TO the eyes at the end, it is
an almost certain sign OF mathematical talent.
When the eyebrows are of the same color
us the hair, we may look for firmness, resolu-
lion, and consistency, but if lighter than the
hair they signify weakness and indecision il
darker, the temper is ardent, passionate, and
inconstant.
When the hair is rutiled and growing in
contrary directions it Accompanies an ener-
getic, easily irritated nature. The hair is
fine and soft when the disposition is ardent
but tender. Short hairs lying closely togcth-
er and leaning one way show firm mind,
and good unerring perceptions. Eyebrows
whose hair is bent downward, almost meet.

How Senator Edmunds Tested Boys
VeraCity.

Senator Edmunds was evidently out of
sorts when the card was handed to him. He
glared at him in ont-bother-me kind of q
way that made the little page who brought
| II glad 70 escape from his presence The
| square piece of paper which lay before the
SenatOr-fOr it could scarcely be called a
card-bore the name, willie How" The
letters were angular and awkwardly scrawl-
ed 1t was apparently the work of boy or
half grown lad.
The Senator arose from his 81 at, and cross
ing the corridor entered the marble room,
where his visitor awaited him. He found
the latter in conversation with his commit
tee clerk. "What does he want?" queried
the Senator grutiy, and addressing the
clerk.
ale wants some money to take him home
He says he lives in Vermont
| "What did you say your name was?" ask
ed the Senator, studying the characters on
the card.

"But how do | know that you live in Yer
mont? You might come from Texas for all
that know"

truth, Senator have no way of proving
it. My homeis in the village Of

The boy replied that the people he didn't
know were not worth knowing.
"Wcll, then,' said the Senator, tell me
the tat OH man who pcddIcs milk about
town."
He isn't fat and he isn't old" answered
the youngscr, doggedly. "His name is Skin
ny Ecces,"
The fainIest sort of smile lit up the Yer
mont Senator's stern features. Turning to
| his clerk he said "Give him the money.
There's no doubling the boys honesty" and
then he added with chuckle as he turned to
enter the chamber, Skinny Eccles Well,

The Virtue of Rest.

There is no better preventive of nervous
exhaustion than regular unhurried muscular
exercise. five could moderate our hurry
and increase our open air exercise large
proportion of nervous diseases would be abol-
ished. -.... .......... ........
For those who cannot get a sufficient hoi-
day the best substitute is an occasional day
in bed. Many whose nerves are constantly
strained in their daily vocation have discov-
cred this for themselves A Spanish merc'
ant in Barcelona told his medical man that
he always went to bed for two or three DAYS
whenever he could be spared from his bust
ness and he laughed at those Who spent their
holidays on iolsome mountains. One of the
hardest worked women in England, who has
for many years conducted q large wholesale
business retains excellent nerves at an ad-
vanced age owing it is believed to her habit
of taking one day week in bed.

Deem Strategy.

A little boy dropped his drumstick into a
well. In vain he entreated papa, mamma, the
gardener, the footman, the coachman, the
cook, the housemads to 60 down into the
well to recover the drumslick In this dis
tress brilliant expedient occurred to Master
Tommy. He secretly carried of all the plate
from the sdeboard and threw it down into the
well. Great was the CONSERVATION when the
plate was missed, and an active search for the
robbers took place. In the midst of the alarm
and confusion Master Tommy runs in out of
breath with the news that he has found the
plate. Where ?" was the cry. Down the
well, replied Tommy. "lsee it quite plain,
shining at the bottom-spoons, ladies', bread
baskets, salvers and all" The family hurried
to the well, at the bottom of which, sure
enough, the plate was seen. A ladder was
procured, q servant descended and the plate
was brought up. Just before the last article
was fished up Master Tommy whispered to
the servant: John, will thank you to bring
up my drumstick when you go down for the
soup-ladle"
