FAMOUS PEOPLES EYES.

According to Trelawny no man had
brighter ayes than Byron; they were gray
and frlngei with long, black lsshes
Lady Blessington, writing of him Q few
months before his departure to Greece.
adds that one eye was visibly larger than
the other.
Charles Lamb Is described as having
glitteri1g eyes. strangely dissimilar In
color. ono being hazel, the other having
spe,ks Of gray in the iris, as you sec red
spots in the bloodstone.
Eyes. Us you know, are apt TO vary con
sidsrnbly in shades of color in the same
individual from time TO time-a fact that
explains why Wordsworth's familiar dc
scription OF Coleridge as noticeable man
with large gray eyes does not quite agrss
with Carlyle's impression that his eyes
were of light hazel, nor this again
with the writer who found them Eight
gray, prominent and of liquid brillisncy,
as though the orb itself reiterated to the
innermost recessss Of the BRAIN"
Chatterton's brilliant gray eyes were
his most remarkable feature. Under
strong excitement one appeared brighter
ana, a. in the case of Byron, larger than
the other. Catcott says lit was like tha
eye of u hawk. and that one could see his
soul through it, Barrett never saw
such eycs, fire rolling at the bottom OF
them" and he confesses that he often
purposely differed his opinion from Chat
tertOu to see how wonderfully his eye
would strike fro, kindle and blaze up.
Audubon, as became naturalist, had
"hawk like ewes that flashed like u
az archlipht and were ever on the alert for
each movement of animated nature"
The Duke Of Wellington also had, 1t is
said, blue hawks eyes, cleaning with
Hilary genius.
The most striking feature Of Burns was
his dark eve. 1t was. we are told by ons
writer, full of mind and literally glowsd
when be spoke with emotion or interest"
Sir Walter scott, who knew the poet
when he lived in Edinburgh, says: II
never saw such another eye In nun an
head, ana have seen the most distin.
guished men Of my time.

Don't Want HIS Name Used.

The managing editor of one of the
most famous Chicago dailies stated in

my habit of life, have been working even
little more steadily than in the past
and seem to have an increased amount
of vitality. This is not for publica ton
you understand, for cannot afford the
time t. answer a lot of letters of in

There is a reason why the user of
Grape-Nuts feels an increase In vital
strength and brain power. The food is
made for that purpose and was planned
by food expert, who knows as well
how to do the things he is trained for as
blacksmith knows how to shape iron,
or carpenter knows how to produce
things of wood. When you eat Grape
Nuts you take advantage of the know
