How Charactor May Be Studied From Fen-
 lures of the Face.
 The rainbow of peace," as the eye brow has been called, and the eyelids are treated of at considerable length as being among the most expressive, ani- mated and mobile features of the face In fact, 30 highly are they extolled that one is almost forced to think that person possessed of nothing else but a pair of sym metrical eyebrows could easily express his desires or his emotions, no matter how complicated these might be. High ly arched brows arc said to denote vi- yacity and brilliancy, but not the power of profundity that are allied to the more level kind. Regularly curved eyebrows are said to express cheerfulness square, deep thought; irregular, fickleness, yer satility, excitability; raised at the inner corner, melancholy; joined over the nose, an unsettled mind.
 Andamantius likened individuals with thick eyebrows which met over the root of the nose to swine. This might by some be considered aetionable, but these would do well to remember that Anda- mantius is no more. Thick and buahy eyebrows are supposed to denote strength and energy on the part of their pos sessors, while the contrary development indicates delicacy, refinement or merely weakness. which is hardly q satisfying diagnosis. A lack of eyebrows is not considered a sign of mental strength. The eyebrows and the eyelids are on terms of close intimacy, and the form of the former is connected with the open ing of the latter. Only in the romantic novel are black eyes to be found. By those who have studied the question deeply four primary shades of color are recognized. These are brown, green, blue and gray, and each of these has five tones.
 1t is considered somewhat singular fact that the rarest of all noses is that found in the middle of the face, and talk ing 100 noses at random one will not find on on an average more than three in which the bridge of the nose descends perpendicularly from straight line drawn exactly between the eyes. Awell proportioned nose, according to most au- thorities, should take up one-third of the profile, measured from the commence ment Of the hair to the tip of the chin. Napoleon used to say that q long nose meant long head; therefore the longest headed club in London should have been that whose members were elected for the length of their noses, the chairman hay ing tho longest nose and the hall porter none. A long nose is generally consid- cred the mental superior of short one
 Hoearth classified noses as angular, aquilino or Roman, parrot beak, bulbous or bottle, straight or Grecian. turned up and snub Other kinds, which may be added CT not according to taste, arc mixed and broken. An unduly red nose does not necessarily indicate that the wearcr is a toper. It may be due to tight lacing, indigestion or emotionality of temperament. There are also othcr ways of explaining the trouble The smile is pnrely human, as brutes are un able to elevate or depress the corners of the mouth as q means of expression. As is the case with almost every other fea- ture of the face, physiognouists arc found who claim that the lips arc of all features tho most susceptible of action and the most direct indices of the feel ings. These champions of the mouth maintain that every shade of feeling can be described by the lips with more facility than by any other feature Pail Mall Budget
