a studio Trick,

In the corner of an artists studio in
his city is al ingenious arrangement
OF screens, upon one of which, over
an aperture about the size of Il face,
is an inscriptions: ~'Lillenesses taken
instantaneously.' The innocent visitor
peeps through the hole, and is
astonished to behold an exact likeness
of himself as Il hump-bacAed jailcr,
in a scarlet coat, opening a prison
door. The secret of this effect is
simple. The jailer is a life-sizcd
painting strongly rendered. The
place for the fac is cut out and ii
mirror inserted, rejecting the features
OF the spectator. The conception of
this amusing fantasy is not entirely
original. 1t was imported from the
studio Of Wierts. the BELGIAN artist.

ALL ABOUT EYES.
How They Indicate Mental Character
istics.

Eyes. mirror Of the soul, may perhaps be
considered more beautiful and attractive
than any other feature. Dividing them
into two great classes, light and dark, it
has been said that the dark Indicate power.
the light, delicacy.
Black eyes, so called-for they are really
of so deep an orange that they appear
black contrasted with the white surround
ing them-are tropical. Sometimes they
seem DUH and sluggish, but the forces they
betoken are only slumbering, so that any
chance spark may set them ablaze With
such eyes the intellect will be powerful and
the passions strong.
Clear blue eyes belong to temperate re-
gions. Other intellectual indications being
equal, what they may lack in passion and
power they will make up in subtlety and
versatility. Hazel eyes show steadiness
and power of constant affection; green. cat
like orbs, though frequently fascinating,
are dangerous, for they are a sign of
coquetry and deceit
The eyes OF genius are said to be of yary-
ing tints, like the sea, sometimes blue,
tinged with green or orange in certain
lights or when affected by emotion. deep
and almost dark. These are but few of
the Infinite varieties in tint
1t should never be forgotten that eyes
are more capable of misleading than any
other feature. Form and color may indi-
cate much; the glance steady or shifting
quick or languid, keen or soft, perhaps
even more. Widely expanding eyelids see
much without rejecting greatly; they I've
in the senses and think little beyond the
present moment. Eyelids half closing over
the eyes denote less facility of imDressiou
but clearer insight more definite ideas,
greater steadiness in action: they notice
less, but feel and think intensely
Deep-set eyes with wrinkles at the outer
corners show penetration and sense of
humor. Eyes set near together, especially
when there are wrinkles across the nose.
are sign of cunning and meanness in
small things, money matters and other
wise. Set wide apart the character will
be generous; If too wide. careless and ex-
travagant.
The proper distance between the eyes is
the length of one eye.-Public Opinion.
