Character In tI.c Eyebrows.

An arched eyebrow does not indicate
the highest order of intelligence, but is
expressive of great sensibility. Scant
growth of the eyebrows denotes lack Of
vitality. On the contrary, heavy, thick
eyebrows indicate IA strong constitution
and great physical endurance.
They are not beautiful ON a woman's
face, however much they may signify
either mental or bodily vigor, and
when they are not only heavy, but
droOp and meet at the nose, they are
disagreeable and are said to accompany
an insincere and prying nature. Long,
dropping eyebrows, lying wide apart,
indicate an amiable disposition. Where
the eyebrows are lighter in color than
the hair the indications are lack of
vitality and great sensitiveness.
Family defined eyebrows placed high
above the nose are signs of Incidence
and weakness. Very black eyebrows
give the face an intense and searching
expression. When natural, they accom-
| pany passionate temperament. Very
light eyebrows rarely are seen on
strongly intellectual faces, although the
color of the eyebrows is not accepted
simply as denoting lack of intelligence.

A Modern RnttIeshin.

A battleship is not only a floating
fortress, but is also a steam power plant
of the largest size. with a greater va
riety and number of engines or ma
chimes than is ever dreamed of by the
uninitiated. OF all this combination
there is no portion that can be permit
ted to remain in state of repose for
any length of time without endangering
its effective action when the emergency
arises for which it was designed 1t is
only by constant use that they can be
kept perfectly efficient.
On an armored cruiser like the Brook
lyn of the United States navy, taking
her as a sample of an up to date war
ship, between a battleship and an or
dinary cruiser, there are altogether 81
separate engines, having a total of 156
steam cylinders,
Add in imagination to this number,
imposing in itself, the vast quantity
and extent of steam, exhaust and water
piping needed to connect all these en-
gines to the boilers, condensers and wa
ter systems, the thousands of valves tt
be kept workable and efficient. TheI
include the seven great boilers, capable
of evaporating into steam, under forced
draft, 1876 tons of water an hour, anC
one can begin to comprehend the vast
ness of the steam plant of a moderI
ship. .-Cassier Magazine.
