1t is gratifying 10 note that our re-
markaDie governor has ut last been led
to view his moral and religious lapseS
with the eye Of contritlon. 1t has not
been long since he looked upon falling

PHILOSOPHY OF THE EYES

Blue eyes are said to be the weakest.
Wide-open eyes are indicative of rash
ness.
Safeguarding eyes are always TO be
distrusted.
Brown eyes are said by oculists to be
the strongest.
Small eyes are commonly supposed
20 indicate cunning.
The proper distance between the
eyes is the width of one eye.
People of melancholic temperament
rarely haze clear blue eyes.
Eyes with long, sharp corners indi-
cate great discernment and penetra-
ton.
The white Of the eye showing be-
meath the iris is indicative of nobility
of character.
When the upper lid covers half or
more OF the pupil the indication is of
cool deliberation.
An eye, the upper lid of which passes
horizontally across the pupil, indicates
mental ability.
1t is said that the prevailing coIors
of eyes among patients of lunatic asy-
| lums are brown and black.
Eyes of any color with weak brows
and long, concave lashes, are indicative
| of a weak constitution.
| Eyes that are wide apart are said by
| physiognomists to indicate great in.
telligence and tenacious memory.
Eyes of which the whole of the iris
is visible belong to erratic persons
often with a tendency toward insanity
Wide open, staring eyes in veal
! countenaces indicate jealousy, bigotry
intolerance and pertinacity withOu
frmness.
| Eyes placed close together in the head
are said to Indicate pettiness of DISPOSE
ton, jealousy and a turn for fault-find
Ing.
When the under arch of the uppe
eyelid is a perfect semicircle It is ind
cative Of goodness, but also of timidity
sometimes approaching cowardice.
Blue eyes are generally considere
effeminate, but this is a mistake, 70
blue eyes are found only among eau
casian nations, and the white races rul
the world.

days and nights there, in the lowest
