TRAINING THE FACE
Facial Peculiarities Which Come
Through Habit.
Distinctive Types That Are Found IN
Certain Callings-The Queer Eff

Upon the Features.

| uOuDIISSS accounts 1OT the OOO Slllf-
larity of expression among men of the
same vocation. In many such cases,
says Blackwoods Magazine. the condi-
tions are so complex that it seems i'm
possible to lay ones finger upon the
special items of environment which
| conduce to the facial characteristics
| exhibited by nearly all members OF
| certain trades and professions. What,
| for instance, is there about the process
| of making shoes which evokes the I'M
| mistake bic cobbler's visage? The por
| trait of Edward the Banff naturalist,
| In Mr.. Smiles book, shows the type in
| marked degree AS far as my obser-
walton carries me, the cause must be
looked for in the last, lapstone and
waxend of old-fashioned cordwainery:
since men who work the machines in
modern shoe factories, or who do Or
binary repairing, do not exhibit the ex
preston. 1t appears probable that the
zailor's distinctive type of face may
have been partially created by his
habit of working his jaws concomitant-
ly' with his shears. Let anyone watch
person cutting piece of tough ma
tie rial with scissors, and he viii see
that the lower part of the face wags in
rhy thnic and spontaneous Unison with
the blades. Shepherds and farm labor
ers who join strengthening gangs GER
tainIy acquire different expression
while engaged in this kind of work
The cast of countenance by which
one so easily recognizes a groom is par
tall y applicable from the fact that the
muscles which close the jaws and COM
press the lips are always called into
play when we are asserting our will
over that of horse. Nearly all jock
Gys and horsemen have peculiar set
o the mouth and chin. but have been
III Ia BILE to distinguish any special char
.seristic about the eye or upper part
of the face. 1t is instructive to com
pare, the visage of the ruler of horses
with that of the ruler of men. The
horse man's face shows command in the
mouth, the drill sergeant's in the
mouth and the eye. The last is IN
doubtedly the most effective instru-
nhent in exacting obedience from our
own species. Here we get hint of
that cause of want of dignity, that ele-
me1rt of cnarseness, which is discern
able,sin the countenances of some men
and women VINO have much to do with
horses The higher and nobler method
of expressing authority is outweighed
by the lower and more animal one.
Generally speaking, it is a strenuous
contest with minor difficulties which
produce a thin and rigid set of lips. 1t
is seen almost Invariably in housewives
of the Martha type, who are careful
and trouble d about many things" and
whose souls itre shaken to the center by
petty worries within doors, and the
strife outra nee with shortcomings of
the scullery N aid or the cook.
The compress. 'ed lip SO loved and so i
often misinterp reted by novelists is
sign of weakness rather than strength
1t tells of perpetual conflicts IN which
the reserves are called into the FRAY.
The strong will is not ag itated into
strenuous action by the SIN all worries
of the hour, and the great. occasions
which call for its whole forces are too
few to produce permanent impress of
this kind upon thel features. The

keep his lip muscles in state of ten
sion. Look at the sea captain, the
most absolute mon arch on, the earth.
He carries authority and power in his
face, but it resides in his eye and the
confident assurance of his easily set
mouth. Every spar and shaft and
muscle in his floating realm must obey
him, and he knows ! !. This is prob
ably a reason why the sea captain and !
the engine drivers show certain SINH |

those of the statues of theI wielder OF |
