A Man Should Choose His Wife b,

Them.
ITS all very we'll for a girl to plume
herself upon her pretty eyebrows" said
an expert physiognomist the other day:
but who have been studying character
for years have perhaps a rather different
point of View. Eyebrows show character
and the wise man will take note of them
when choosing his friends. Eyebrows,
for instance. that are wide apart denote
a frank, generous, unsuspicious and i'm
pulsive nature. When they meet one NAV
be pretty sure that their owners tenn
perament is ardent but jealous and suspi-
cious. Eyebrows which are elevated at
starting and continue in long sweeping
lines over the eyes with downard ten
dency indicate artistic feeling.
Straight eyebrows, forming n firmly
defined line close to the eyes. denote
great determination and will power.
Those which begin rather strongly and
terminate abruptly without passing be-
yond the eyes show an impatient and
irascible nature
'Sensitiveness and tenderness are indi-
Gated by slightly arched eyebrows. and
"a AA'.NSs Va PeiPS't anu hsIuitsS VI UtiTI
by those which are straight at the be-
ginning and are rather arched at the
temples. The eyebrows of people utterly
devoid of mathematical power are raised
at the termination, leaving wide space
between them and the corners of the eyes.
On the other hand, if they are close to
the eyes at the end, mathematical talent
may generally be safely assumed.
Eyebrows of the same color as the hair
show constancy, firmnessl and resolution
If lighter than the hair they denote inde-
cison and weakness; while If darker we
may probably be right in our surmise
that their owner is of an ardent, passion
ate and inconsistent disposition.
IAN energetic and eaisly irrftated ma
ture is shown by the hair growing in diff
ferent directions; while short, ,close-lying
hair, growing in one direction indicates
a firm mind and good perceptions. An ar
dent but tender nature is shown by the
hair being soft and fine When the hair
of the eyebrows has a downward droop
so that it almost meets the rlnshes when
the eyes are widely opened, tenderness
and melancholy are betrayed, The nearer
the eyebrows are to the eyes, the firmer
and the more earnest the character. while
the more remote, the more volatile and
highty is the nature of their owner"

The I.land Churchc..

(From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.)
In handling church property in the new pos
sessions the Peace Commissioners followed English
precedent. All of this property which with pop
riety may be called half public and half private,
remains in the hands Of the corporations or ec-
clesiastieal bodies now controlling it.
Church property has not always been so treated.
In France and Italy ecclesiastical property has in
times past been confscated by the wholesale. And
in England, too, the property came to the state,
and indirectly came under state protection,
though the control of the property was left
in the hands Of the same corporations, in which
precedent and occupancy had placed it. In
the case of monastic property there were exeep-
tions in England. -iz.s- =
In the Philippines, Cuba, Porto Rico, and
Guam there will he no changes. Every church
will have its property, now as always but there
will be no funds except those raised by the mem;

establishments ceases at once s..z

The conflict between the United States
and Spain has passed into history as the
''Spanish-American' war. AT first glance
there is nothing strange in the fact No
body has ever found out the real source
of the names of the millions of objects

seem that names were given by accident
or chance Tine matter of naming wars
however seems to follow u set rule. Ex-
animation reveals the fact that in almost
every case the designation of a war by a
certain popularity accepted name shows at
once the victor and the vanquished. and
that in such cases the first name. If two

Sea Salt, Potash. Lemon and CAM
phOr Are Fine.
To cure an ordinary case of chilblain
take a piece of lemon, sprinkle fine salt
over it and rub the feet well. A sure cure
for broken chilblains is the following.
Take quarter of a pint of oil of sweet
almonds, one ounce of Venice turpentine,
three ounces of lanoline, and one ounce of
beeswax cut into shreds; melt all together
in whiteware pot, and then put aside TO
cool. stirring occasionally to prevent the
preparation from becoming too hard
Spread this ointment on lint, and keep
the chilblains covered with it at night
and as much of the day as is practicable
If you are troubled with soft corns, do
not fail to try the following treatment:
Soak the feet well at night in hot water
in which has been dissolved a few crys-
tails of permanganate of potash. Then dry
carefully, especially between the toes. ami
dust the skin in these parts freely with a
mixture of tannic acid and boracic acid.
Next morning wash carefully with pure
soft soap and cold water thoroughly dry
and powder with boracic acid
A piece of lemon or a split raisin bound
on hard corn viii very often cure ii.
The first application may produce sore
ness, but IL treatment is persisted in a
reasonable length of time, cure will
likely be effected. If not, try the follow
ing preparation: Thirty grains of sali-
cylic acid and five grains of Indian hemp
to be dissolved in half an ounce of COLO
dion.
For tired and tender feet, nothing is bet
ter than to bathe the feet and legs from
five to ten minutes in hot water in which
has been dissolved a handful of good sea
salt. Rub briskly with coarse towel and
apply slices Of lemon to the soles of the
feet.
For cracked and chapped hands and
lips: Three drachms of camphor, three
two ounces of sweet olive oil. Put the in
gradients into a jar. Set in saucepan
of boiling water and let it melt. stirring
all the time. Pour while hot into little
jars.
Another excellent cold cream is made
as follows: One ounce of spermacetti,
half an ounce. of pure white wax, quar-
ter of pint of almond oil, six drop of
altar of roses. and one and a half ounces
of gycerin. Melt all in JAR either in
the oven or by standing it in a saucepan
of boiling water; stir till nearly cold. Put
into a pot and tie down. The former of
these recipes is recommended to those
persons with whose skin glycerine does
not agree.

fiction, love, everyday life, refuse in league to be scholarly. They say we won't take brain for heart. The ultimate measure after all for man is that of his heart. If it can be said of man that he has "such 8 large heart", how many sins it covers! This is the highest con- pllment common-sense can render. Their heart was wherein they felt His power. Christ's words were from the heart, how natural that they should go thither. The burning consumed doubt, fear. anxiety. fever and fret and all such things. God is consuming fire."
