CHARACTER IN EYES.
Peculiarities of ths optics OF Different
Nations.

Peculiarities of tho optics OF Different
Nations.
Eyes have always been regarded as a
sure tribal characteristic, says the St.
Louis Republic. Tacitus, for example,
describes the Germans as ''ferce, with
blue eyes and rcd hair" The Colts are
mentioned as being swarthy skinned
and black-cyed; the Gauls are red
hard and ight-cyed, wllile the Nubia.ls,
the Turks, the Egyptians and the Ital-
ians have always been spoken of as
''the dark-eyed races.
These peculiarities have not changed.
Even to-day the people of the temper
ate zone have, generally, light-colorcd
eyes, while those of the tos~ld and
frig1d zones are usually dark, or even
black. Of the races in particular, the
only one that can be said to be slight
eyed is the Caucasian, and even in
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-haired,
bluc-eyed 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 blue-cyed person
was rarely seen, and to-day seven
eighths of the world inhabitants have
dark eyes.
Lavater, when discussing the eye as
a feature in national physiognomy, gave
the following as the result of his OBJ
"The Italians have small eyes, the
Germans, Hght-colored eyes, surround
ed by many wrinkles; the English,
strong, open, steadfast eyes; ard the
Swiss, eyes that are very dull-loolzing."

KISSED BY TIE SUN"
The Red-Haired Maiden Is Fit to Be
Queen Devil.

The Red-Haired Maiden Is Fit to Be
Queen or Devil
Did you ever stop to think how few
red-haired people there are in the world?
Take any town, for instance, of three
thousand or four thousand population,
and out of that number there will be
| hundred whose heads are red, and by
''red heads" | mean those of tint vary
ing from sandy to dark auburn. So
you see that a red head is really rara
avis, and should be appreciated as such,
says writer in the Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette.
All Indian tribes pay homage to ruddy
locks, and never venture to lay vandal
hands on them, regarding the possess
sors of such as children of the sun, :"
hence objects of generation, not to be
rudely violated or sudden scalped.
The members of some savage tribes.
found in heather countries, where the
sun, moon and stars are worshiped,
have been known to fall down in awe
some homage at the feet of a belated
traveller, mumbling them and kissing
them, while the traveller trembled in
his boots, expecting every moment to
be slaughtered. The frightened trav-
eler could, with difficulty, be made to
understand that his head, the bane of
his childhood, the never-ending butt of
ridicule in maturer years, had not only
saved his life, but made him worthy to
be god.
In many countries red hair in itself
entities woman to the claim of
beauty. In Italy the most beauti-
full women and the depraved have
possessed locks ''sun-l5issed by the
sun" Lucretia Borgia, whose name is
the synonym of horror, was red-haired.
Cleopatra, Antony's conqueror, had
hair which cleaned like FURNISHED cop
per in the sun, land skin, which shone
like pearl, so white. so white In
other words, she was seductive, pas
sion-enthralling, authenticated woman,
of such a type as could only have be-
witched and turned poor Antony from
the path of virtue and duty. None
of your conmonplace-bro haired, i
darll-eyed lassies, nor your insipid |
languid, blue-eyed, blonde-loclled maid
ems, nor the black ones, with their |
swarthy skins and jet-lilze eyes, would
have had the power.
The devil, when he wished to tempt
the pious hermit in his lonely desert,
when all his other arts and wiles had
failed, took the form of woman
''clothed only with vail of darkest
red hair" which ''twined and twisted, .
we are told, like snakes of copper"
curling themselves about the poor
mans neck and breast like things
alive while her acknowledgements got
against his own.
Curiously enough, although the arch
type Of intense passion is red hair, it is
also the type of the highest purity. We
have it from Josephus, as well as from
sacred narrative. that the Saviour had
curling auburn locks, singularly clear
white skin and tender soulful eyes OF
gray. His virgin mother was also
So the two extremes
meet.

A WOLF BEATEN BY a WOMAN.

An Incident Showing the Extremely Cow
ardly Nature of the Beast.
1t is not often that a wolf story is told
in way to show the cowardly nature
of the animal. For this reason the fol-
lowing account, given by the author of
sTwenty-seven Years in Canada West, !"
has its own value and interest.
My wife's youngest sister had pet
sheep that she had brought up from
lamb, and to which she was much at
tached
One afternoon she was going down to
the spring for a pitcher of water when
she saw large dog, as she thought,
worrying her sheep, upon which she
picked up a large stick and struck the
beast two or three strokes with all her
strength, thus compelling him to drop
his prey.
This, however, he did very reluctant
ly, turning his head at the same time
and showing his teeth with diabolical
sharl.
She saw at once when he faced her,
by his pricled ears, high check bones,
long, bushy tail and gaunt figure, that
her antagonist was d WORT.
Nothing daunted, she again bravely
attacked him, for he seemed deter
mined, in spite of her valiant opposi-
ton. to have her pet lamb, which he
again attacked.
She boldly beat him off a second time
following him down the creek, thrash
ing him and calling for aid with all her
might, when, fortunately, one of her
brothers, attracted by her cries, ran
down with the dogs and his gun.
But he was too late for a shot, for
when the wolf saw the reinforcement |
he scamDcred off with all his speed.

why Manila IL Rehind.

Manila is one of the most important
ports il the Philippine islands, but
strange to say, is one day behind all
other places of its size in the world,
says the st. Louis Republic. This Gu
rious fact is accounted for in this ways
Although the Philippine islands lie near
the Agiatic coast, they were discovered
by Spaniards who sailed from America.
When they crossed the magic line
where Sunday suddenly changes into
Monday, these fiery dons Of proud Cas-
lillian ancestors did not revise their
calendar. When told of this years
later, when informed thattheir mode of
reckoning time was not up to modern
notions, they only said that that was SO
much the worse for modern notions.
Anyhow, the fact remains that these
Philippine islanders keep plodding along
one day behind all the rest of the
world, which reelons time by the new
style.
