from tho p1an's looks that he is pursl,
J ing some one and trying TO get even
with him. There are suggestions of Ne.

thupabscrews and racks all up and down
the features. Internal artists, with
murders daggers, havo been cutting
away at that visage. The revengeful
heart has built its perdition in the re.

But here comes another chisel TO shape
the C0uutcnance aud lis kindness. There
came Il moving day, and into her soul
moved the whole family Of Christian
graccs, with all the children and grand
children, and the command has come
forth from the heavens that that WON
ans face shall be made to correspond
with her subtrb soul. Her entire face
| from oar to ear becomes the canvas
upon which all the best artists Of heav-

on the small compass Of that face are
| put pictures of sunrise over the sea,
and angels of mercy going up and
down ladC ers all allnsll, and mountains

man COuntenauce.
No one could wonder at the unusual
geniality in tho face of William Win

United States, after seeing him at The
New York banquet just before he
dropped dead, turning his wineglass
upside down, saying, 81 may by doing
this offend some, but by not doing it L
might damage many" BE kind to

kind to your servants. Be kind to
your superiors. BE kind TO your iufe-

| to, your dog. BE kind TO your CIT.
Morning, noon and night be kind, and
the effects Of it will be written in the
| language Of your face. That is the
gospel of physlognomy.
| BayOnne merchant was in the
south Of Europe for his health, and
sitting on the terrace one morning in
his invalidism he saw q rider flung
from horse into the river, and with
| out thinking Of his own weakness the
| merchant flung off his invalid's gown,
leHped into the stream and swan to
the drowning man, and clutching him
as he was about to go down the last
time bore him IN safety to the bank,
when glancing into the face OF the res =
cued man he cried: "My God. | have
| saved my own SOn!'
All Kindness comes back to us in one
way or another; if not in one way,then
in your own face. Kindness. Show

when you will need it YOURSELF Peo-

he spared the mouse that ran over

the monster could have crushed the in

| that the lion had mercy on the mouse
for one day the lion was caught in a
trap and roared fearfully because he
was held Fast by ropes. Then the
mouse gnawed off the ropes and let the
lion go free. You may consider your
