CHARACTER in EYES.
psc.,liarities of the Optics OF Different
Nations.

Nat]OnS.
Eyes have always been regarded as a
sure tribal characteristic, says the St.
Louis Republic. Tacitus, for example,
describes the Germans as fierce, with
blue eyes and red hair" The Celts are
mentioned as being swarthy skinned
and black-eyed; the Gauls are red
hard and hght-eyed, while the Nubians,
the Turks, the Egyptians and the lt;l"
ians have always been spoken OF as
1.-THE dark-eyed races
These peculiarities have not changed.
Even to-day the people Of the temper
ate zone have, generally, light~cclored
eyes, while those Of the torrid and
frigid zones are usually dark, Or even
black. OF the races in particular, the
only one that can be said to be Light
eyed'' is the Caucasian, and even III
this race the eyes are by no means Uni"
form in point of color.
The whole period of human history
goes to prove that the light-hajred,
blue-ayed races are capable of the high
est degree of civilization, but it does
not by any means follow that the high
est degree OF civilization is confined to
people of blonde complexion. There
was time when a. blue-eyed person
was rarely SEEM and to-day seven
eighths of the worlds, inhabitants have
dark eyes.
Lavater, when discussing the eye as
O. feature in national physiognorny gave
the following IT'S the result Of his OBJ
servations:
''!rhe Italians have small eyes, the
Germans, liglt~colored eyes, surround
ed by many wrinkles; the English,
strong, open, steadfast eyes; and the
Swiss, eyes that are very dull-lool1ing. .

ington, to representative OF the ST.
Louis Globe Democrat. Let me give
you a chapter from my personal expert
ence to show how thoroughly the Ger
man war department. prepared Tor emer-
gencies. One day message came to
me at the barracks bidding me report
in civilian dress at the railroad station
! and receive orders. I went to the sta
ton.
a man approached me and addressed
me as Meyer. l said: "My name is
Wolff" NO." said he, ''your name is
Meyer. Here is your bag OF samples.
You are selling whisky. l am selling
wine. We will go to such and such a
city and call on Mr.. Se-and-so and Mr..
So-and-so and try and sell them some
goods we went and made an effort
to sell whisky by the sample. but didn't
sell any, of course.
Then we proceeded to another city
and tried to sell goods there. After we
had visited several merchants and had
returned to the hotel my companion
said to me: t'We will take walk and go
across the bridge. We will not return
together. On your way back you will
pace the bridge, and going and coming
you will keep your eyes open to OBJ
serve all the points you can about the
bridge"
Then for the first time began TO
have q suspicion of what was really
wanted. Istrolled down to the bridge
and leaned over the edge, looking at
some workmen who were making holes,
in the ab,1t1nents, I observed the plan
of construction from various points,
and then went on across the stream.
After awhile started back, and on my
| way 7 paced the bridge arch by arch.
In the engineer corps we are trained
to pace distances with great exac' ness.
I can walk block now and tell the
| length Of it within six inches. I re-
turned to my hotel without having
made note, but with my head full Of
the plan Of construction. My compan"
ION joined me.
''Now," said he, '*you will return to
che place from which we started and
you will make as complete descrip~
zion of the bridge as you can and turn

THE "BIG HEAD" IN SOCIETY.
HOW Personal Conceit DiaSorts tina
Charms of Nature.


/. The big head is no longer monopo-
LIED by theatrical stars; it has broken
out, says the New York World, if one
may say SO, in polite society, ard the
least of us may be afflicted by erssnial
enlargement. It did not seem possible
that the big head could be contagious,
but in these days Of imitation it has
been proved otherwise, and more thn1a
one of your acquaintance will be found
suffering from it. The society woman
who has achieved some local success is
the first to find her acquaintance OBJ
serving this capital change; they say
nothing to her, Of course, but they look
nnutte1'ab]e things when she betrays
herself and her new self-importance.
Very youthful persons, whom the world
in which they move has kindly noticed,
will carry round on their shoulders q
head out Of all proportions with their
moral Size: but they go unchallenged, be-
cause big head is now SO prevalent that
as o. monstrosity it would prove a drug
in the dime museum line. TO believe
in ones self, to determine to win the
race, really 70 be somebody, is all
praise worthy IL the extreme, but the
instant these noble endeavors fly to the
head all is lost. The head swells, and
when that misfortune occurs all the
symmetry Of Individuality vanishes,
and a disagreeable personal conceit
comes to t1istort the sweetest natural
charms. Modesty is rare qnality in
the present day. There seems to be no
room for it's cultivation. Apparently,
nobody has any use for modesty, and
only blatant self-suhciency, with the
inevitable result, big head, now has the

At least one bill was passed by the
last congress, concerning which the
democratic party will have little to

aware tribe of Indians, and which was
incurred during Buchanan's admins
tration. In 1857 the government owed

paid by these states until the com
mencement Of the war, since which
time the government has been COM
PEELED to pay 1t by a special appropna-
ton at each session of congress. The
bonds were long ago repudjated by
the states that issued them and only
for the integrity of the Republic the
Indians would have been out their
money. II was finally determined
that It was the better policy to cancel
the principal and stop paying interest
and TO this end a republican congress
appropriated sufficient funds to de.
fray an obligation created by demo

Consistency never was one of the
attributes of the democratic party
therefore it excites no surprise to hear
one prominent democrat say that rec
iprocity is sound democratic doctrine,
and another equally as prominent
abusing Mr.. Blaine for negotiating
reciprocity treaties. That is one of
the cardinal differences between the
two politicals parties, the republican
party stands and has always stood for
well defined, easy-to-be-got-at ideas,
while the democratic party has never
stood for anything, in national way,
except for the preservation of human
slavery, In behalf of which idea it
plunged the country into the bloodiest
war of modern times.
