EYEBROW AND NOSE.


Eow Character Aiay Ee Studied From Fea
lures of tho Face.
The rainbow of peace" as the eye
brow has been called. and the eyelid.
re treated of ut considerable length as
being among the most expressive, ami
mated and mobile features of the face
In fact, so highly are they extolled that
one is almost forced to think that person
possessed of nothing else but pair Of sym.
metrical eyebrows could easily express
his desires OF his emotions, no matter
how complicated these might be. High
ly arched brows are said to denote vi
vacity 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, ver-
satility. excitability; raised at the inner
corner. melancholy; joined over the nose
an unsettled mind.
Andamantin3 lilened individuals with
thick eyebrows which met over the root
OF the nose to swine. This might by
some bo considered actionablc, but these
would do well to remember that Anda-
mantius Is no moro. Thick and bushy
eyebrows nre supposed to denote strength
and energy on tho part Of their pos
SCISSORS, while tho contrary development
indicates delicacy, refinement or merely
weakness. which is hardly satisfying
diagnosis. A lack of eyebrows is not
considered sign Of mental strength.
The eyebrows and the eyclids are on
terms of close intimacy, and the form OF
the former is connected with the open
ing OF the latter. Only in tho romantic
novel are black eyes to bo 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 tax
ing 100 noses ut random one will not
hnd on on an average more than three |
In which the bridge Of the nose descends
perpendicularly from straight line
drawn exactly between the eyes, A we'll |
nose, according to most au-
thorities. should take up one-third of the
profile. measured from the commence
ment OF the hair to tho tip of the chin.
Napoleon used to say that long nose
meant long head; therefore the longest
headed club in London should have beer.
That whose members were elected for the
length OF their noses, the chairman hav.
ing the longest nose and the hall porter
none. A long nose is generally consid-
cred the mental superior of Il short one.
HoSarth classified noses as angular.
aquiline or Roman, parrot beak, bulbors
DR. bottle, straight or Grecian. turned up
and snub. Other kinds. which may he
added or not according to taste, are
mixed and broken. An unduly red nose
ioes not necessarily indicate that tho
wenrer is topper. 1t may be due to
.ight lacing, Indigestion or emotionality
'f temperament. There are also other
ways of explaining the trouble Tho
mile is purely human. as brutes are un-
lble to elevate or dcpress the corners of
he mouth as u means of expression. As
the case with almost every other fea-
ure OF tho face, physiognomists are
ound who claim that the lips are of all
eatures the most susceptible of actio,
md the most direct indices CT the feel
ngs. These champions of the mouth
that every shade of feeling
an be described Gy the lips with more
AGILITY than by any other feature
