Prominent, arched eyebrows
show great powers of perception
in regard to form and color; all
great painters had such brOws.
When the under part of the
face, from the nose downward, is
less than a third of the whole
face, the indication is ofstupidity.
Finely arched foreheads are
often seen on stupid persons; the
deficiency is generally apparent
in the scantiness of the eyebrows.
Large noses are invariably
associated with strong traits of
character; whether good or bad
is determined by other character.

Black, sparkling eyes, with a
steady, grave mouth, show taste,
elegance, sound judgement, and
often an ungenerOus disposition.
A face which does not change
expression in conversation indi'

Wide open, staring eyes belong
to people who are dull, but pre-,
tentious; who mistake impudence
for wit, and insolence for candOr.
The eyes should be distant from

ming.
People of good seDse, delicacy,
and refinement have eyelids that
are sharply defined and shade at
least half the upper part of the
eye.
A person who habitually looks
out of the corners of his eyes is
to be avoided; his natural tenden-
cy is certainly towards deception.
Large, long pearly teeth belong
to sentimental, imaginative people;
small, short, yellow teeth to tn ose
of an unpoetical turn of mind.
A good chin, viewed in profile,
shows a marked depression above
it and below the under lip, and an
equally marked prominence be-

Long foreheads with spherical
knobs in the upper part Indicate
genius, pertinacity without decis-

petuosity.
In the perfect mouth the upper
lip should have it's middle line
deeply sunk, and the lower lip
should be not more prominent
than the upper.
Large, open and transparent
eyes, which move rapidly and
sparkle in excitement, indicate
good taste, discernment, pride
and often irritability.
Ears, the lobes of which run
straight down into the cheeks,
are rarely found save OH persons
of a thievish disposition; all klep.
tomaniacs have such ears.
Strongly projecting foreheads,
in the upper part retreat
to a marked degree, associated
with a long under. face, are certain

Men of marked ability in any
line have usually one deep, per.

of the forehead, with one or two
parallel to it on each side.
Whenever, in laughing, three
parallel curves are formed in the
cheeks round the corners of the
the indication is of still
ness and stupidity.
Heavy, shaggy, Overhanging
eyebrows, with lower fore head
prominent, show great powers of
reasoning from premise to cOnclu.

When the lower half of the
countenance, measuring from the
nose downward is divided by the
mouth into two equal parts, seen
in profile, the indication is OF
stupidity.
A perfectly formed face should
be divided into three equal parts;
from the roots of the hair to tho
root of the nose, thence to the
tip, and from the tip of the nose
to the tip of the chin.
