One can always trust the gray, full orb
that looks clearly out from under lashes
long and straight The gray eye with
curling lashes is a certain sign of IA frivo-
lous nature, while a small, oval, brown
optic, with tlecks Of contrasting color near
the pupil, indicates highly nervous tenn
permanent with literary tendencies. This
eye is always overshadowed by sadness
when in rcpose and is such a one rs many
poets and painters have possessed.
Large, liquid black eyes denote sympa-
thetic nature easily moved, but with no
great depth of feeling. Eyes Of whatever
hue, II set close together, tell to the world
that their owner is not to be trusted. Be-
ware the shifting glance-it threatens
danger. A full. dark blue eye is the very
type Of honest intention and resolute pur-
pose, yet light, watery one bctrays u
weak, vacillating nature, easily Influenced
for good or evil, but more often tending
toward the latter rather than the former
course, The eye Of keen perception and
rare ability is the deep brown, with no
mollowness, but look on its surface as of
high polish.
This eye reads you through and through
and il the index OF a nature calculating
cold and hard in business dealing, vet
stanch and true in its friendships. Phil
adelphia Times.

Some of you are bereft. 1t is no random
remark, because there is hardly family
here that has not passed under the shadow.
You have been bereft. Your house is a
different place from what it used to be-
The same furniture, the same books, the
same pictures, but there has been voice
hushed there. The face that used to light
up the whole dwelling has vanished. The
pattering of the other feet does not break
up the loneliness. The wave has gone over

1t is not at all unlikely that the jealousy
or the downright aversion shown by the
French medical students to female compe-
tition arises from that curious social con-
servatism which prevails among n nation
who rarely miss the opportunity to pro-
claim themselves the most democratic peo-
pie in Europe. There have always been "a
great many crafts and employmeuts open
to Frenchwomen from which English
women were, until a very recent period,
almost entirely debarred. From time i'm
memorial in Paris and other large French
towns the shopkecper's wife has ofIiciated
as his bookkeeper and cashier, and very
often late mt night, while monsieur is play
ing dominoes or billiards, or ENJOYING his
cigar and his "bocli' mt his fuvorte cafe,
madame is painfully balancing her books
behind the counter of the deserted but
still brilliantly lit shop.
Women, again, in France have an almost
entire monopoly in selling newspapers at
the Mosques, or in keeping "bureauX de
tabac.' They may also practice art, with
out let or hiudrancc, and they may attain
if they have the talent and the capacity,
bright eminence as painters, sculptors, en-
graVers or draftswOmen in black and
white: but the Academy of Fine Arts per
slstcntly sets its face against the admis-
sion of lady members, although, MS Nine
Leon BertauN, the president of the Union
of Feminine Artists, has pointed out, there
were in the last century two lady acade-
micians-Mmc Terbursch and the renown-
ed portrait painter, Nine. Vigee-L

lar nobody in this house can drive hen
but myself" And, picking up a stick
of wood, hurls it at the offending biped,
and observes, Get in there, you thief"
The hen Immediately loses her reason
and dashes to the opposite end of the
yard. The man straightway dashes
after her. She comes back again with
her head down, her wings out and fol-
lowed by an assortment of stove wood,
fruit cans and coal clinkers, with much
putting and very bad man in the rear.
Then she skins up on the stoop, and
under the barn, and over a fence or two,
and around the house and back again
to the coop, all the while talking as only
an excited hen can talk, and all the
while followed by things convenient for
handling, and by man whose coati is on
the sawbuck, and whose hat is on the
ground, and whose perapiration and pro-
family appear to have no limit. By this
time the other hens have come out to
take hand in the debate and help dodge
the missiles-and the man says every
hen on the place shall be sold in the
morning, and puts on his things and
goes down the street, and the woman
dons her hoops, and has every one of
those hens housed and cOntented in two
minutes, and the only sound heard on
the premises is the hammering by the
eldest boy as he mends the broken pick

Mr.. CovilIe's Experiment.

Mr.. Coville has got but one apple
tree, but it is good tree. 1t has hung
full OF blossoms, and in the past week
has been Il very beautiful ornament in
his little yard, We do think apple BIOS
SONS the sweetest flowers ever created.
On Mr.. Coville's tree worms have made
huge and unsightly nest.
Mr.. Coville learned that the only sure
way of getting rid of tho nest was to
burn it away, This was to be done by
a lighted bunch Of rags saturated with
camphene and tied to the end of a pole
SO as to be applied to the nest. 1t was
on Friday evening that Mr.. Coville did
this business. His wife helped him. He
put barrel under the tree to stand on,
as he did not have pole long enough to
reach the nest from the ground. He
tied lot of rags on the end Of a stick
and dipped the mass into basin of cam
phene, and then touched off match and
applied the ball of flame to the nest
High as he was from the ground, still he
had to stand well up on his toes to make
the remedy effective. But Mr.. Coville
did not mind that at ali, because the
flame was doing the work most beauti-
fully
"That'n sizzle 'em, by gracious!" he
shouted down to his wife, who stood by
him, while his eyes were riyeted on the
devastation above his head.

their whims, their follies, their sins, their
Inconsistencies. But when the mob out
side of Jerusalem howled ut the Son of
God it was hate against goodness, it was
blasphemy against virtue, it was earth
against heaven. What was it in that inno-
cent and loving face of Christ that excited
the vtuperation and the contumely and
scorn of men? If he had bantered them to
come on, if he had laughed them into de-
rision, if he had denounced them as the
vagabonds that they werc we could un-
derstand their ferocity; but it was against
inofTensiveness that they brandished their
spears, and shook their fists, and ground
their teeth, and howled and scofled and
jeered and Knocked.
What evil had he done? Whose eye
sight had he put out? None but he had
given vision to the blind. Whose child
had he slain? None; but he restored the
dead damsel to her mother. What law
had he broken? None; but he had incul-
Gated obedience to government. What
foul plot had he enacted against the hap
pincss of the race? None; he had come to
save world. The only cruelty he ever
enacted was to heal the sick. The only
oStentation he ever displayed was to sit
with publicans and sinners and wash the
disciples feet
The only srlfishnces he ever exhibited
was to give his life for his enemies. And
yet all the wrath Of the world surged
against his holy heart. Hear the redhot
