A. L. l. L. - -
perience-long and vsried-to tell at glance
the nature OF a subject. have few set rules
formulated after a lifelong study, which you
may find interesting. These rules relate more
especially to the organs of sight, taste, locomo-

However, il You follow the rules shall pres

your business intercourse and in the selection
of friends.
THE LANGUAGE OF THE GAIT.
'wen commence with the manner of walk
ing, for person who walks badly needs watch
ing. Common sense would teach you that per-
sons who shuttle along are Of an INDECENT,
thriftless nature, secretive in their habits and
full Of observation-disclosures. Beware of them A
quick, light tread denotes light heart, although
OF q secretive disposition, while slow, slovenly
walk is just the opposite Of this, and the unfor-
tunate possessor of this latter walk is not to be
envied. The egotist is known by his walk,
which is of the lofty, imperious variety.
cane always goes with walk like this, and the
miserable pOssessor of this distinctive walk
needs care and attention, for really he's not
right. The suppositiOn l am working upon to
bring out the salient points is that of pc rson
walking. Well, now We catch up to him and
look him over.
READING THE EYES.
Commence with his eyes, by far the most i'm
portant factor in judging human nature. What
color are they? All! that's a great deal And are
they large or small, full or deep set, and,
lastly, what is their shape9 All Of these must
be taken into consideration. Now. take a per-
son with afull, projecting eye, commonly called
pop eyes. You'll find such a person to be
treacherous, vascillating and dull, always look
ing out for danger and apprehensive Of every
one Deep-set eyes belong to a crafty DISPOSE
ton, careful. considerable and just. And now
for the different colored eyes
I'VE will start with gray eyes because they
are the best, their owners being possesse Of Q
lovely. amiable disposition, with considerable
intelligence. Many times they indicate under
other circumstances a good deal Of selfshness.
Treat them well, for bad gray eye is indeed to
be avoided. In women it is beautiful adj
dition. Next comes blue or light eyes. Most
persons are of the opinion that blue eyes are
the most desirable. As rule blue eyes indi-
cate deceitfu) disposition, and make
the very worst enemies. There are
many beautiful dispositions among this
class and they mako good friends to tie to,
but once pervert them to evil they are demons.
Black eyes are known the world over as devil
ish eyes," and the possesso: Of pair of such
is generally regarded with distrust. Black
eyes are indeed a handsome feature and indicate
when under the control of integrity a praise
worthy character. In evil natures they help
to show the deviltry and cunning Of their pos
SCISSOR and woe betide any one foolish enough to
put themselves in their power. for they are un-
relenting always and will not hesitate at re-
venge.
lyon know, Just as we'll az do" continued
the professor, that bright eye Is indicative
OF quick perception and great susceptibility of
external influences. while dull eyes are exactly
the opposite. Refined natures are always char
acterized BIZ beautiful eyes with fully shaped
eyebrows. In women they denote love of so
ciety and dress, Of music and men. But these
late days all the girls seem fond Of the men,
and some Of my rules regarding this are in ter
rible want Of revision.
THE FOREHEAD AND THE NOSE
Leaving the eyes, we take up the forehead,
the great seat of reason. The ridge over the
eyes is called the perceptive ridge and denotes
according to Development the power of grasp
ing situations. seeing through things, &c. The
upper part of the forehead contains the bunpg
Of reflection and the literary bumps are found
in the center of the forehead As a matter of
course, high, broad forehead ID indicative of
intelligence to great degree.
Now for the nose, which ia another import
ant factor in the art of reading human nature
A strong character, bound to succeed is the one
possessed OF a wide, prominent nose. pinchee.

what pug nose is-one of those that turn up
Well. the possessor of such nose, You NAV be
bound. il inluisitive and meddiesome. In n
woman you have what We call q gossip-antl
oh. what nuisance they are. Persons with
this kind of nose take offense at the slightest
thing and are very sensitive. but they are not
revengeful. Roman noses. Or the convex nose
turning down at the point, exactly oppo-
site from pug noses. They are "a revengeful as
an Indian, and never forgetting an injury sell
dom forgive one.
THE MOUTH AND CHIN.
''The next factor which gives tho student Of hu-
man nature an insight into character is the lips
Full, red-cushioned lips indicate an affection
ate nature, while the thin compressed ones de-
note decision and lack of affection. Whenever
you zee lady or a gentleman who con tinually
keep their lips apart hatter them, for that's in
dicative OF what they want. Firm lips denote
decision Of character and pronounced opin-
ions.
"A word about the chin and then will tell
You something Of the hair before leave YOU.
The chin is very significant feature. Abroad,
full chin denotes strength of feeling and con-
stancy, while pointed chin indicates great
impulsiveness, with little constancy. A short
talk the hair and I'll copcluda n~,no<x..
