Some Ways in Which Character Is
Indicated There.

From Public Opinion.
A head justly proportioned to the rest of
the body shows steadiness and force of
character; too large 1t generally indicates
grossness and stupidity. to small, feeble
ness and inepttude Of mind. II not Of CON
sliution. The physlognomy of a forehead
is seen in the form Of the frontal hone, its
hight and proportion, regularity or IT.
regularity; this marks the dis position and
measure of our faculties, our fashion OF
thinking and feeling. Tathognomy should
be studied In the covering skin, its color,
wrinkles, tens on or relaxation; this gives
a clue to the passions, the actual state of
the spirit within the use it has made of
its natural gifts. FoTeheads seen in pro

Eyes, mirrors Of the soul, may, perhaps
be considered more beautiful and attract
i've 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
tropical Sometimes they seem duh ana
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 temper
ate regions Other intellectual indications
being equal. what they may lack in power
and passion they viii make up in subtlety
and versatility. Hazel eyes show steadi-
ness and power of constant affection:
green, cat-lke orbs, though frequently
fascinating, are dangerous, for they are
a sign of coquetry or deceit. The eyes
of genius are said to be of varying tints,
like the sea, sometimes blue. tnged 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 thar
| eyes are more capable of misleading than
! any other feature. Form and color may
indicate much; the glance, steady or shift
| ing. quick or languid, keen or soft, perhaps
| even more. Widely expanded eyelds see
much without rejecting greatly; they live
| in the senses, and think little beyond the
| present moment Eyelids half closing over
| the eyes denote less facility of impression
but clearer insight, more definite ideas,
| greater steadiness in action; they notice
less, but think and feel intensely. Deep-sei
eyes with wrinkles a the outer corners
| show penetration and a sense of humor
| Eyes set near together, especially when
there are wrinkles across the nose, are q
sign of cunning and meanness in small
things money matters and otherwise Set
| wide apart it's character will be generous
if TOO wide, careless and extravagant. The
proper distance between the eyes is the
l length of one eve.
