A head Justly proportional to the rest

physiognomy of a forehead is seen In the
form of the frontal bone, its height ana
proportion, regularity or irreguiarity; Ids
marks the disposition and measure OF our
faculties. our fashion of thinking and feei-
ing. P~athognomy should be studied IN
the covering skin, its color, wrinkles, ten
sim or relaxation; this gives a cleW to
the passions, the actual state of the spirit
within. the use it has made of its natural
gifts. Foreheads, seen in profile, are d.
vfded into three classes-projecting above,
fat on the eyebrows, retreating from be-
hind developed brows and perpendicular.
Broadly speaking, those with prominent
eve bones act promptly, on the judgment,
perhaps passion, of the moment Yet they
err but rarely, for their gifts of intuition
and rapid deduction seldom fail to guide
them rightly. High f~oreheads, lacking
some part of this quick spirit, pause, con-
slider and weigh the matter before taking
action. Less passionate, less imaginative,
less resourceful, they cannot afford to
make mistakes. Short foreheads, prom
fuent brows, belong to the man Of action.
High. well developed temples to the man
of thought. A perpendicular, fiat fore
head. with ~wrinkleless skin stretched
tightly across 1t, may be briefly dismissed
as the forehead of the fool. Eye bones
which project so sharply as to cause the
hair of the brows to bristle outward show
immense acuteness and genius for in
trigue. Ii Hung Chang, the great Chinese
Minister, and Prince Bismarck are good
examples of this class
A forehead square on the temples and

Lord Kitchener, of Khartoum,
has the typical forehead of a leader of
men. Short, compressed, with prominent
eve bones and thick, straight brows,
square and receding on the temples. A
man with this forehead could not fail to
Judge character or circumstance with
~quickness and accuracy, to store such OBJ
~servations in a tenacious memory and to
act upon his conclusion with promptness
and decision.
Eyes. mirrors of the soul. may, per-
haps, be considered more beautiful and
attractive than any other feature. Dir
viding them into two great classes, light
and dark. it has been said that the dark
indicate power. the light delicacy.
Black eyes, so caLed-for they are real
ly of so deep an orange that they appear
black contrasted with the white surround
ing ma tropical. Sometimes they
seem dull and sluggish, but the forces
they betoken are only slumbering, so that
any chance spark may set e ablaze.
With such eyes the intellect will be pow
erful and the passions strong. Clear blue
eyes belong to temperate regions. Other
intellectual indications being equal, what
they may lack in power and passion they
will make up in subtlety and versatility.
Hazel eyes show steadiness and power Of
constant affection; green, cat-llke orbs,
though frequently fascinating, are danger
GUS, for they are a sign of coquetry and
deceit. The eyes of genius are said to be
of varying tints, like the set, sometimes
blue, tinged with green or orange, in
certain light, sor when affected by emo
tion, deep and almost dark.
These are but few of the infinite va
rieties in tint. 1t should never be for
gotten that eyes are more capable Of
misleading than any other feature Form
and color may indicate much; the glance,
steady or soft, perhaps even more. Wide
" expanded eyelids see much without re-
fiecting greatly beyond the present mo-
ment. Eyelids half closing over the eyes
denote less facility of impression, but
clearer insight, more definite ideas. great
er readiness In action; they notice less,
but hin and feel intensely. Deep set
eyes with wrinkles at the outer corners
show penetration and a sense of humor.
Eyes set near together, especially when
there are wrinkles across the nose, are
a sign of cunning and meanness in small
things, money matters and otherwise. Set
wide apart, the character will be gener-
GUS II too wide, careless and extrava-
CANT. The proper distance between the
eyes is the length of one eye.
People who really should know better
will often tell you that they live very
plainly and are very economical, when If
the truth were known they spend almost
double as much for the table as another
family that appears to and really does
live very much better. There is, of course
a secret connected with this that is well
worth knowing. The first family will
doubtless add to the statement of plain
and economical living the further infor-
NATION that plain steaks, roasts and chops
form the chief part of their meat diet.
There is nothing more expensive than
these same steaks and chops, and many
dollars could be saved In a year if other
dishes were used.
Take for instance, a chicken and see
what may be made from it and how the
expense compares with a steak for the
same family. A steak weighing two and a
half pounds will cost So cents and will
only answer for one meal for a family OF
four or five persons. Take a chicken that
weighs four pounds and during the fall
or winter it can be purchased from Al
to &c cents. Boil the chicken, and from
the dark meat make outlets of ~croquettes,
with the addition of a pint of milk, but
ter and seasoning; from the white meat
a very delicious hash or salad may be
made, and the liquor in which the chicken
was boiled, win make a delicious and
wholesome cream soup. Two full meals
may in this way be provided for very
little NOR han the cost Of the steay, and
at the same time a wholesome change Ii
made in the menu that all will enjoy.
