THE EYES EXPRESSION.
Everything Depends Upon the Lids,
Says m Expert.
Q'rom The Cleveland Plain Dcalcr.)

Qrom The Cleveland Plain Dcalcr.)
There are no expressive eyes. The ex-
preston of the eye is really in the lid. The
eye itself, Independent of its surroundings.
has no mere expression than has a glass
marble. 4 prominent English oculist
makes this daring statement. and he de-
fencs his position with emphasis. THE
eyes have no expression whatever" he
saws. '' How do ycu explain the fact
that the eyes of one person are more ex-
pressiyc than those of another?' I am
asked. They are not. The difference con-
sists in certain nervous contractions of the
lids peculiar to the individual.
Observe for yourself and you will see
that | am right. We will say that I anu
greatly interested in something. and my
attention is suddenly called from it by an
unexpected interruption My upper eyelid
raises itself just little, but the eye proper
does not change an iota in appearance. II
the interruption is but momentary the ele-
yation of the lid will be but momentary
II the surprise caused by an interruption is
continued the lid may be raised even a
little more, and. in fact the whole OF the
forehead. including the eyebrows. is raised
and wrinkled- But the eye remains the
same.
When Il person Is excited much the
same motions are gone through continued
cases of intense excitement to their great
est extent. but the forehead is not wrinkled
and the ball of the eye is as expressive
as bit of glass. No more.
Observe the face of one who laughs
You will see that the lower eyelid has no
muscle of its own, and il is only by the
contraction OF the adjacent muscles in
smiling or laughing that it is made to
move That is why there are many wrin-
kles about the eyes of merry persons.
THE expression Of deep thoughtfulness
is produced by the dropping Of the upper
lid. II the meditation is over a subject
that worries the thinker the expression is
again quite different. The eyelids contract
and the eyebrows are lowered and drawn
together. This is true Of a reflective mood.
'.As to emotional moods. there is the ex-
preston Of anger. for instance. The eyes.
instead Of closing. are open wider than
they are normally, but the brows are
closely knit.
In expressing sadness the entire upper
eyelid comes about halfway down, and
the folds of the skin collect there, giving
the lid thick, heavy appearance"

Mr.. PIekySick'a Inn Safe.

With regard to the Old Bull Hotel. Dart
ford, we are glad to hear that the report of
its demolition is quite a mistake. What
has happened is that a new wing has been
added TO the old hostelry for the accommo-
dation of the yearly increasing number of
visitors. There is. therefore. an addition
to the frontage. but no alteration OF the old
coaching house. which We are assured is to
remain without interference, and will pre-
serve the aspect it has maintained for the
last 500 years. The charm Of the old place.
with its Pickwickian associations, will thus
be combined with the increased modern
comforts of the new extension, which We
learn includes a banqueting hall big enough
for Pickwick Club of 500 members of &C.
casiOn demanded.
