1t and YOU have the nut-cracker type
of face, always respectable, if not re-
1narkable for beauty. Take Gladstone,
for instance. Or or own Evarts. In the
widest flight of Imagination no one
could call either of them beautiful, yet
they are ''fine-looking" men. Proba-
bly, more of the worlds master minds
have been Of this type of facial struc-
ture than of any other. You get
lean and skinny old gentleman who
could play first witch in Macbeth
without making up, and there are usu-
ally brains behind the beetling brow.
Once l knew q whole family OF
brothers and sisters who couldn't spell
.shorse'' or scissors" but were most
wonderfully fine mathematicians AL
of them had low foreheads, bullying
out in the most peculiar way just above
the ewes. William II. Seward had this
kind of a face and the camera used to
croan when il saw him coming. a
man whose upper hemisphere is built
that way must be great in logic wheth-
er or not weak in memory.
Then there are certain men who. be-
longing to no type at all, are simply
plain. Senator Cullom, of Illinois, is
such a man. William S. Holman, of In
diana, is remarkably plain, but neither
OF these gentlemen would win prize
for picturesque ugliness.
A last type remains to be considered
that of the long-faced, long upper
Tipped men with deep lines running
from the nose to the corners of the
mouth. What a roll call of eminent
living and dead men there are and
have been of this class. Beecher be-
longed to it--a fine looking man. but

Observe how diverse are the intel
lectual capacities of the long upper
Tipped men. J. G. Whittier was Of
that type. and singularly ugly man,
vet was his grim countenance llum-

of native kindliness, SO that no one
who knew him called him ugly. Prof.

will be the bold adventurcr.
AS there are types Of beauty so there
are types of ugliness.
Perhaps the most usual type is the
broad faced man with wide mouth,
thick, rolling lips. seamy countenance
and small eyes. This is type common
on the stage and not always on the
comic stage. NJ Coque,in is the most
famous example OF the type. He is
ugly in detail. yet the expression of his
face is so dignifed and pleasant that
the effect is rather good on the whole.
Ralph Delmore. an actor on the Amer
ican stage, used to impress me wonder
fully by his physical ugliness of fea-
ture. ! haven't seen him for some time.

Another type Of ugliness is closely
allied to the wide mouthed variety. In
this type. the CONFORMATION of the facial
muscles, the deep wrinkles and the re-
trousse nose invariably suggest COM
