comes a veritable mask to character.
He holds that physical and moral
causes conspire to prevent the face from
betraying the true mind. AS a matter OF
fact, it is recognized among all men
that the smoothest swindlers and neat
est confidence operators are those
whose faces are most deceptive. 1t is
not to be charged successfully that their
achievements are due to inability on the
Part of the victims to find character
in any face On the contrary, the
men taken i'm are frequently those
most accustomed to read faces, and
who pass their lives among men Of all
characters, and must have gained there
fore by experience in the art of reading
the human countenance. Heine held
that the pastime or calling Of the
parent was reflected in the face Of his
offspring, but there are few in this
day of rapid change of vocations, and
Of rush, push. attrition and struggle
who believe Heine's rule is of any value.
Indeed we know that 1t counts for moth
ing in the mixture of races in this coun-
try. Unquestionably, long association
with certain conditions or environment
may have an effect upon the counte-
nance. A child habituated to mingle
with the criminal and debased will
usually disclose upon its features the
fact, and the child or the adult long
accustomed to associate with the gentle
and the refined will most likely present
a countenance of a corresponding or
der. But in neither case is it an in
variable rule that true character will
be indicated upon the face, since there
are very many instances, indeed hun
dreds of them known to every person,
where even long association with the
debased and the criminal has failed to
mar the face of innocence or paint char
acter black, and where life association
with the refined has failed to refine and
humanize.

The military methods Of the Turk do
not vary with change of scene There
come from Crete now the accounts Of
atrocities by Turkish troops which
parallel those committed in Armenia.
II is the same old story. The precepts

spoil the infidel dog" and spare not
his house, his goods, his wife or his
