EYE LANGUAGE.

No part of the human countenance
engages our attention SO frequently
as the eyes. When face to face in con
yersation, we do not look at the lips
although, as a rule, the attention Is
very quickly taken by any movement
but at the eyes of the person with
whom we are speaking. So much is
this the case that the habit of many
deaf people of watching the mouth al
ways strikes us az peculiar. In fact
one usually feels that there is sense
of incompleteness in the association
of mind with mind by means OF con
versation if there is not continual
interchange of glances making kind
of running commentary on the words
spoken. The same may be said OF or
binary greetings when two people
shake hands. Unless there is at the
same moment meeting Of friendly
looks the ceremony loses much OF Its
meaning.
Now, why is there this continual
meeting of eyes accompanying all
kinds of human intercourse? Parity
no doubt, it is attributable to GER
tain habits of comparatively recent
date. The eye, "the window OF the
SOUL" is more truthful exponent OF
the inward thoughts than the tongue
and seeing that speech IS very ire
quently used not to tell the Thoughts
but to conceal them, we look to the
eye for confirmation or the reverse
of what our ears are taking M

IN FAIRYLAND.
Birds and Animals and Look
ing After Wonders.

A fairy's life is by no means all play
-"nothing to do and plenty of time to
do it in" not bit of it! Idleness is
misery, and "all play and no work" is,
if anything, worse than 'all work and
no play" and happiness is found be-
tween the two. A vast deal lies in TAX
ing a thorough interest in what one
has to do and doing it with ones
might and of all work that of the
fairies is perhaps most interesting.
In many parts of Fairyland there
are hospitals where gnats, flies, bees
and other humble creatures are taken
in when injured and carefully tended
There are schools for teaching spin
ming to spiders and caterpillars and
weaving to the weaver bird; schools
for the blind, where moles may learn
to burrow; swimming schools for
fishes; flying schools for birds and
such fishes as care to learn; perfume
factories, where the perfume is made
that scents the jasmine, sweet pea, the
lily and the rose. There are store
houses too, of splendid dreams and
castles in the air. When you see a
baby's face rippled with smiles as he
sleeps you may be sure that the fairies
are whispering beautiful thoughts or
showing him lovely pictures.
But the part of Fairyland to which
Nicnack had come was devoted to
quite different occupations; it was the
store-place of wonders. Here the au-
-borealis was treasured; here, too
might be seen an assortment of halos,
mock suns, mock moons and the va
rious forms of mirage. But, what was
OF far more concern to Nicnack, this
was the place where the rainbow was
kept When it had done duty in the
sky and gladdened the eyes of men it
was taken down by the fairies, careful
ly busted and then folded and set aside
until wanted.
Nicnack had been full of curiosity
as to what the treasure at the end of
the rainbow could possibly be. He now
found that it is a magic crystal prison.
When the rainbow is first set up in the
sky it is perfectly invisible. The prism
being placed at one end of the arch.
the colors are flashed along, and all
appear in their proper order The
crystals are kept carefully wrapped in
thistle-down, and fresh one is used
every time.-A. +. Bowser, in st. Mich
olas.

One of HIS Other TITLES.

This story is from the new biography
of the prince of Wales: On one oc-
casion when his royal highness and an
equerry were going through the Louvre
galleries they were observed by party
of Americans, one OF whom remarked
in loud whisper to one of his friends:
Iii bet you ten maps that's the prince
OF Wales" ''Done." cried the other.
accordingly few moments later the
American approached the princes
equerry and asked him, in low tone,
the name of his companion. "The earl
of Chester" was the truthful answer
"Sold!" said the Yankee, in disap-
pointed tone.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.

Washington, Oct S.-The message
which President Mckinley will send
30 congress-, when 1t assem- bles in De-
cember, is awaited with much inter-
est. The work of preparing the mes
sage will be commenced when he re-
turns from his western trip. 1t is GER
tain the president will urge that the
results obtained in the war through
the efficiency of the navy warrant the
most generous attention to the neces-
stiles of that branch of the military
arm of the government Persons
close to the president say he is con-
sinced that larger standing army is
an absolute necessity and that he will
probably adopt a suggestion from Gen.
Miles that the military force be in
creased to strength of at least 100, 900
men.
Liberal appropriations for the army
and navy during the coming session
of congress are certain. This is the
substance OF a statement made yester-
