ana which are very 1itIle more TO DO trust
cd than the green eyes.
Although their praises are often sung in
spanish ballads, green eyes show deceit
and coquetry in their owner. Sometimes
eyes are to DO found with combination
of yellow, orange and blue, the latter color
generally appearing in streaks over tho
whole surface OF the eyes, while the ORANGE
and yellow are set in flakes of unequal
size around and ut some little distance
from the pupil of the eye. Eyes Of this
variety of tint show intellect or at least
certain originality OF character. No com
monplace nature has this particular kind
of eyes. Hasty and irritable people fire.
qucntly have eyes of brownsh tint, in
clined To greenish hue
Although the purely green eye indicates
deceit and coquetry, the propensity to
greenish tints in the eyes is "a sign of wis
dom and courage. Very choleric persons,
If they have blue eyes, have also certain
tints of green in them, and when under
the influence of anger sudden red light
appears in them.-Now York Times.

green. 1t is frequently the case that they
are very beautiful when they are shaded,
as is often the case with very long
and dark eyelashes but though beau
tiful they are not indicative of good dis
position and belong particularly TO per
son of Jealous temperament. Clear, light
blue eyes, with u calm steadfastness in
their glance, are said to be indicative of a
cheerful disposition, of u serene temper
and of a constant nature. The light blue
eye Is peculiar to the northern nations,
and it is mostly to be found among the
Swedes and the Scotch. Among the rare
blends of the southern portions of Europe
is also found the blue eye. The pleasant,
light blue eye, with the honest glance,
must not be COMPOUNDED with another sort
of eye of pale blue, almost steel colored
hue, which has a continually shifting sort
of motion both of the eyeids and the pu-
pills. Human beings having eyes such as
these should DO avoided, for the color Is
Indicative of deceitful and remarkably
selfish nature.
Very dark blue eyes, with something of
the tint of the violet, show great power of
affection and purity of mind, but il Is re-
marked of these that the possessor of such
eyes is seldom u person of much intellec-
tuality. 1t is the universal opinion that
blue eyes are more significant of tenderness
and of "a certain yielding of purpose than
either the brown, black or gray eyes.
Concerning the constancy of the person,
it is agreed that blue eyed people are not
inconstant like those of hazel and yellow
eyes, but IL is certain that they yield from
affection for those they love and only for
those remaining constant in every other
case and even under tho strongest tempta-
ton.
Gray eyes with greenish tint, and with
orange as well rs blue in them, and which
arc of ever varying tints, resembling in
this respect the sea, are indicative of most
intellectually. These are especially in

Passionate ardor in love is To be found

Black Eyes Are Not Black, and They Fade.
The Eyes of Shakespeare, ColeriGge and

The Eyes of Shakespeare, CoieriGge and

Sweet Brown Eyes.
1t has been remarked by those who are
most conversant with tho anatomy of the
optic that the darkest huod owe is most
susceptible To change. Tho fading of tho
black eye is no secret, as IL is almost uni
versal, and this is natural and accounted
for from the known fact that tho black
eye Is not black but yellow of deep color
and sometimes found i'm combination with
one or more colors. The light blue and
the gray seem TO DO the most lasting. The
gray eye is an almost universal character
istic of mon and women of great intellect.
Shakespeare had deep gray eyes, which
were remarkable for their near approach
TO blue. Up TO the death of the poet the
original color remained. Lord Byron had
the gray eye of the poet. Culeridee also
had gray eyes, but, like Shakespeare and
Byron the gray was at times, and under
mental excitement particularly, tinted
with another color. One biOgraphor Of
Lord Byron tells of his beau,iful, change
able gray eye as ono of the chief character
istio features of his physiognomy. The eye
of Colorldge was Of IL groenish cray.
1t Is an undeniablo fact that tho colors
most common to the eyos-brown gray,
blue, hazel and black, or what is called
black-are seldom found in all The purity
Of the individual color. Regarding tho
black eye, ii is distance only hat makes it
appear to be purely black, for the reason
that the deep yellow brown color is in
such strong contrast to tho white of the
eye that the pupil always appears black

to seem almost yellow, and there are eyes
