ACQUIRED FACIAL EXPRESSION.
iigns of Authority Expressed In Dimsreus
TNnea of Men.


The compressed lip so loved (and SO
often misinterpreted) by noyclists is a
sign of weakness rather than strength.
1t tells of perpetual conflicts in which
The reserves are called into the fray,
The strong is not aritated into streno-
GUS action by the small 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 the features, The com.
handing officer, assured of his mems
obedience, does not habitually keep his
lip muscles in state of tension, Look
at the sea captain, the most absolute
monarch on earth. He carries author
ity and power in his face; but it resides
in his eye and the confident assurance
of his easily set mouth. Every spaE
and shaft and muscle in his floating
realm must obey him, and he Knows it.
This is probably reason why the sea
captains and the engine drivers show
a certain similarity of type. The en'
CINE driver can make his captive giant
strong as ten thousand men, obey the
pressure of his finger. His lips are
unusually calm, like those of the statues
of the wielder OF thunderbolts on
Olympus. Who ever saw a man COM
handing a man-of-war or driving a
locomotive with the contentious lip OF
school usher.
The typical expressions of the MEM
bers of those three liberal professions
which Sir Thomas Browne says are all
founded upon the fall of Adam are
well enough recognized to have been
long the prey of the caricaturist-
The several distinctive traits of each,
and the possible causes which give rise
to them, are too complex to be dealt
with in single article. Speaking very
generally, the e.&rics face is indicative
of authority (of the thin-lipped kind
and of dignified sense of the sanctity
of his Office. The doctors jaws and
mouth are less rigid, yet tell of de-
cision, His eye is vigilant and SYM
pathetic, and his own facial aspect
conveys the idea of fund of untapped
wisdom. The lawyers countenance is
confident and confidential, with a
bouncing alertness of the eye and a
prevailing expression of weighty per-
spicacity. Louis Robinson, in Pop

with the place, and, dangling his feet
over the edge so that they would touch

He had been enjoying the thing for
half an hour, possibly, when a man
came along the road above him.

The boy paid no attention to the in

again. This time the boy looked up at
him inquiringly.

boy, slowly. Cats and cows and dogs
and locomotive mines and elephants

AS we sat there in the darkness one
of the employees of the hotel stuck
mp something against the hedge and
then struck a match that lit the some
thing he had stuck up. There was a
suffering hiss and a great flame of
sparks leaped suddenly into the dark
sky. We all craned our necks to see,
and saw similar streak of fire rise
from the opposite side of the Rhine.
Away overhead the rocket burst and
filed the darkness with many clusters
Of brilliant colored lights. Then down
to us came the two reports, as if some
one had fred pistols in the air. 1t was
one bank of the Rhine signaling to the
other that everything was in order.
Instantly there shot out from the side
of the river on which we sat, and some
hundreds of feet below U.S. the white
broadening ray of an electric search.
| light 1t struck the castle Laufen,
and made it stand out like picture
shown by stereopticon. All the
world was black, but the castle stood
out as if painted in silver. 1t was a
most startling picture, and the crowd
on the terrace suffered polite little
ripple of applause to rise from them.
With that the scarchIight shifted and
the castle disappeared as if waved
away by a magician's wand. In its
place, lower down, there stood the
fleecy foam of the waterfall in the left
bank of the Rhine. Next, the island
that stands between the two falls, and
next again, the wild, rushing torrent

Isn't it lovely?" which indeed it was,

"You see." said one OF the girls from
behind the bush, 'ss soon as her
parents realized how serious the case
was they took her at once to Switzer-
land"
"Ah," said to myself, some poor
invalid who came here with the hope
Of getting well, and who probably
stayed to die"
Her father left the strictest injunc-
tions that no one was to know where
they were, None of the people at the
Office knew where the family had gone
except the confidential clerk, who for
warded the letters"
"But why" said the other girl, did
they come to so public place as the
Rhine fallP I should have thought
they would have been sure to have
been found out"
NO" said the other girl, who must
have been quite twenty-one years old,

And then what happened?" asked
the young girl, TREMENDOUSLY,
"Oh, the old gentleman jumped up
and ordered carriage and horses, but,
of course, it takes some time to get

Now we came to the last portion of
the illumination. We could dimly see
lights lowering about the Schloss
Laufen on the other side of the Rhine
from where we sat. There was set on
fire heaps of powder that gave bril-
liant crimson flame. Ruddy fires lit
up the grim front of the old castle,
while clouds of smoke floated up in
the evening air. 1t looked as if some
tremendous confagration were going
on The red light shed its rays en- the
falls, and it seemed that all the blood
shed in the campaigns along the whole
Rhine was now pouring over the rocks
into the basin below. Slowly the
lights died out, and the old castle
dimmed into obscurity Then the
young man of our hotel came and fixed
something into the hedge and set ii
off. 1t proved to be a sky rocket. A
similar one shot up into the sky from
the other side of the Rhine and the
illumination was at an end until mid.

Switzerhof hotel just when everybody
was out at the Examinations. He
knew how it would be; he looked over
the hotel register and found out just
what apartments the Spaldings occu-
pied. He was very particular about
his room, he said, and he went up
stairs with the porter, to look at sew
eral. One room appeared to suit him
very well, because it had little bal

man knew that, so he leaned over as
far as he could and whispered to her,
and if there hadn't been balcony she
would have fallen over As it was,
she gave a little shrek, for she recog-
nized his voice at once. But the mo-
ment that danger was over everything
was all right, and they whispered
back and forth easily enough"
Dear, dear" said the younger girl,
''it's just like a scene in a play, isn't
it?"

Before the elder girl could answer
the sesrchlight was out again. This
time it struck the long bridge of nine
arches that crosses the river just
above the falls, railway bridge, and
the light was timed to illuminate the
bridge just as the train shortly after
half-paSt aine was passing. Then
the searchlight Illuminated the town
of Neuhausen on our side of the river.
After that it struck the falls again,
and the light was made red and blue
and all colors of the rainbow. Next
half the falls was made one color aud

By this time the terrace was entirely
filled up, and the electric light threw
glare over the stirring scene. 1t was
nearly nine o'clock and it had become
so dark that the fieecy white of the
Rhine fall had entirely disappeared.
Then all at once the electric lights
went out, and the lights were turned
out in the hotel and on the terrace so
that we sat for time in perfect dark
ness.

They took those rooms with the

it wasn't as lucky as she imagined. So
she had her room to herself, when
the eventful night came. She had
plenty of time to pack what things

Here there was report OF cannon
from the island between the two falls,
The effect was instantaneous and
magical. Thousands of colored lights,
all around the margin of the falls and
the ancient Schloss Laufen, lit up in a
moment as if they had been touched
by the same electric spark. They first
burned blue, throwing that color over
the Rhine falls and far down the
river Then the light turned to red,
then to green, and the effect was even
prettier than when the searchlight
was turned upon the falls, Finally
the lights burned themselves out and
