THE HUMAN FACE.
Its Signs and Tokens Are Plainly
to Be Read.

- LOUIS e8uD-4C.
Every one knows that mems passions,
prOpensities and peculiarities. as well
as their callingS, are reflected in their
faces. but it is only the few who have
made the study of physiognomy an
especial pursuit who are gifted with the
power of reading those faces. Judges
who have served long terms on the
bench, lawyers in large practice and
doctors of eminence possess the power
of Interpreting phySiOgnomieS more
largely than other people. hut any one
can acquire the rudiments Of the art by
dint of hard study.
1t is as impossible TO disguise q face
without putting on a mask as it is to
disguise ones handwriting. When the
expert comes the disguise is torn of.
and the face tells the true story of the
spirit inside the body. One only needs
to visit the penitentiary to realize how
undeniably vice writes its sign manual
upon the features. 1t is not the drunk
ard only whose red nose, flabby cheeks
and watery eyes betray him; it is the
SensualiSt whose vice is read in his lips.
the knave whose propensity is revealed
by the shape of his mouth, anu the man
OF violence who has been betrayed by
his eyes. An experienced detective or
a trained jailer seldom asks the crime of
which prisoner is guilty.; he can tell It
on the criminals face. II short, all the
advantages which Fowler told US We
were going to derive from the study of
phrenology we may possibly gam from
the OLDER and more mysterious science
OF face -reading.

gathered in the neighborhood of
the house. A squad of policemen
quickly arrived and surrounded the
place, but would not enter for

Mrs. Guelph and her boy and Kaiser
Willie are having a big time. When
royalty goes gadding about it is expect
ed of common folks that they will view
the pageantrY with open-mouthed won
der-and foot the bills IN uncomplain-

out one of these days. The 'divine
right claim has come to be looked upon
as gigantic joke; it is humbug which
no longer humbugs anybody; and the
respect for personal majesty" is at a
low ebb in Europe, especially in Eng

fiummery, to show how high royal glory
towers, only serve to hasten the end of
a prepospcreus abuse.
