FOREHEADS AND EYES
Some Ways in Which Character Is
 indicated by Them.


 A head justly proportioned to the
 rest of the body shows steadiness and
 force of character; too large, it gener-
 ally indicates grOssness and stupidity:
 too small, feebleness and inaptitude of
 mind, if not of constitution. The l physiogncmy of a forehead is seen in
 the form of the frontal bone. its height
 and proportion. regularity or irregu-
 larity; this marks the disposition and

 A perpendicular. fit forehead. with
 wrinkleless skin stretched tightly

 the great Chinese minister, and Prince
 Bismarck are good examples Of this class. A forehead square on the tenn
 pies and retreatfng into the hair on either side is a sign of retentive mem
 ory and excellent judgment. ord Kitchener of Khartoum has the typical Iorehead Of leader Of men.

 Eyes, mirrors of the soul may, per haps, be considered more beautiful ard attractive than any other felNture Di- 1 Yldlng them into two great classes, | light and dark, it has been said that ! the dark indicate power, the light del l lcacy. Black eyes, so called-for they | are really of sc deep an orange that | they appear black contrasted with the ] white surrounding them-are tropical. 1 Sometimes they seem dull and slug gish, but the forces they betoken are only slumbering, so that any chance 1 spark may set them ablaze WiCh | such eyes the intellect will De power ful and the passions strong.

Deep set eyes with wrinkles at the outer corners show penetration and q sense of hunor. Eyes set near to- gethsr. especially when there are wrin- kles across the nose, are a sign c; cum ming and meannesS in small things money matters ard otherwise. Set wide apart, the character will be gen erous. If too wide, careless and eX- travagant. The proper distance be- tween the eyes is the length of one eye.-P ublic Opinion
