Indications of Eyes.

There are persons who profess to in
terpret character by the lines Of the
palms Of the hands, the color Of the eyes
the hand writing and some other person
al peculianties. To what extent such
interpretations are correct, of course, We
cannot say As to the color Of the eyes
being test, the explanation as we find
it is as follows
Clear, light blue, with calm, steady
glance, denote cheerfulness, good temper,
constancy.
Blue, with greenish tints. are 50 strong
" indicative of these traits, but slight
propensity to gTeenish tints in eyes Of
any color Is 2 sign Of wisdom and cour-
age.
Pale blue or steel colored, with shifting
motion Of eyelids and purple, denote de-
eeitfulness and selfshness.
DARK blue or violet denote great affec-
tion and purity, but not much intellectu-
atty
Gray or greenish gray, with orange
and blue shades and ever varying tints,
are the most intellectual, and are in
dicotive Of the impulse impressionable
temperament-the mixture Of the san
guine and bilious which produces poetic
and artistic natures.
Black dark brown are a sign Of pas
sionate ardor in love
Light brown or yellow denote incOn-
stancy green, deceit and eoquetry. Eyes
Of no particular color only some feeble
shades Of blue or gray, dull, expression
less, dead looking belong 10 the lynn
phatic temperament and denote a list
less. feeble disposition and a cold, selfish
nature.

MS BIRTHDAY DINNERS.
General Cameron loved books and the
society Of friends. When the weather
and the state Of his health permitted, he
liked TO spend bis birthday, even 81 early
in March, at his country home and there
to gather circle Of friends. young anj
old, about his festive board. But if the
rigors Of the early spring were too severe,
he waited for the bloom Of the May flow
ers OF the rich yerdure of June TO sum
mon his friends to the yearly gathering
at Donegal. There repaired statesmen
and politicians from Federal and State
capitals, and foremost representatives Of
the professional and business life Of the
great Eastern cities. Editors Dana, Childs

Edmunds, Blackburn, Morrill, the ofii-
cials Of the Pennsylvania Railroad his
distinguished son, the present United

In the weird town Of Moodus, on the

OF rheumatism in a marvellous way. He
went 70 bed with aching joints, after
leaving lotion on ihe kitchen table
with which to battle hislimbs. Iearose
several times in the night and lave,l his
limbs freely with the contents ofa kiteh-
en-table bottle, and in the morning was
joyfully surprised TO find that all his
pains had fed. 1t was not until he in
spected himself and perceived that he
was black and blue that he mistrusted
that he had used the family blueing-
tie instead Of the one with the lotion.

Punching His Ticket.

They were telling experiences the 9TH
er night, and Col. Granniss told one OF
his. He made the trip through the
southeren country here just after the road
had been opened. The festive cowboy
had just begun to enjoy the sport of run
ming the train in the rough region, and
at one Of the stations formidable speci-
men of that tough human boarded the
cars. The conductor came along punch
ing the tickets, and this cowboy did not
pay any attention to hlm. At last the
conductor laid his hand on the cowbo y's
shoulder and said, Ticket please The
cowboy turned in true siyle,i pulled
out his revolver and pointed it at the
conductor
Here's my ticket"
The conductor walked on and punch
ed everybody else's coupon. Then ne
disappeared. The little incident had
been forgotten by almost everybody on
the car. The cowboy was in quiescent
state and the car was quite still when the
conductor came in. He walked leisurely
up the aisle and suddenly stopped be-
fore the cowboy, placed great big knife
dangerously contiguous to his vital part
and said. quietly:
"Lemme see that ticket again.
