TOLD BY YOUR CHIN |.
SURE MARKS OF CHARACTER
- IN 1T.
Pointed Chin Indicates That the owner
Is of a Poetic Turn of Mind--A
DimpIe Chin shows Conquest--A Sig
OF the Deceltful Person. 81

"A strong, projecting chin is an IN.
dication of an iron will and no small
intelligence. Men and women. SO en-
dowed usually succeed in all OF their
undertakings. The opposite is the
case with those persons whose chlns
recede. This is sign of limited intel
lectual power and physical and moral
weakness; an indication OF those very
good-natured, yielding persons who
are easily discouraged, led astray, and.
have little power of initiative. III
however, the other features are strong!
If the nose is well arched, the brow
broad and arched, the eye large and
intelligent--the retreating chin is notl
so positive an indication of mental de-
linquences; in fact, this person may bel
possessed of special talent in some dill
rections-but nevertheless the retreat
ing chin is certain evidence of morals
weakness, hesitation and lack of inde- 4
pendence. A small, Well-rounded chin
covered with moving pads of flesh, Isl
an indication of a pleasure-lOving dis
position. If the chin is dimpled, it is al
sign of coquetry, leyity and untrust-l
worthiness. But persons featured
thus are generally blessed with a.
healthy constitution and are apt to
live to a good old age. A full. broad
chin points to noble characteristics; if
rather square and bony, it indicates an
open, honorable, but determined per-
son, who can hate as fiercely as he can
love. II this broad, square chin forms
perpendicular line when looked at in
profile, and is combined with small,
colorless lips, it is an unmistakablel
sign of cruelty and harshness. A long,
narrow and somewhat pointed chin Isl.
generally accepted indication of the
poet born. Unfortunately this kind OF
chin is an indication of a weak con-
stitution, and If it is found in con-l
junction with mouth that falls in at,
the corners, we may be certain Of a.
predisposition toward consumption. As
massive, large, fleshy chin with asfur-'
row down the middle, indicates an inn
pulsive, Whole-souled, passionate na7
ture; while the same kind of a chin
without the furrow, but with a slight
swelling of flesh on the under lip,
shows egotism, deceit and similar un-
pleasant characteristics.

pi.tinet Christine. Influences.

The SAVIOR and flavor of Tiny Tins
turkey would have been far less subtly
delicious had it been set upon the
fusion Of the novelist, nor fancy of the
churchman, that there are influences at
work at Christianmastide which make
ordinary things extraordinary, and
common things precious, and little
things great. That leaven which has
changed the face Of the world, and
moved the heart Of man, and made
peace where there was no peace, is in
every Christmas present, thought and
happy gathering.

How Young Couple Furnished Their
House. g8

u Il
House.
Last week while I was in a city
not a thousand miles from here" said
business man, Il ran across former
bachelor friend, whom had not seem
for over two years. knew that he had
married in the meantime, and when Ii
offered my congratulations he insisted
on my coming out to his house for din
ner. accepted, OF course, but when he
reached his home was sorry hadn't
declined. In fact, I was deeply shocked,
for Of all the poverty stricken, squalid
and generally delapidated habitations I
ever laid eyes on the one he piloted me
to was by long odds the worst The
house was shabby-l looking frame at.
fair, weather-be beaten, unpainted, and
patched all over with odd boards. Some.
of the shutters were missing and 9TH
ers hung by one hinge, while a gaunt
patch Of yard, Uttered with miscella-
neous trash and inclosed by a ram
shackle picket fence, formed an appro-
pirate frame for the picture. The sight
saddened me beyond expression, and L
was vexed that I had been made wit
ness of my unfortunate friends power
ty. However, couldn't well beat re-
treat, so followed him in, and the mo-
ment he opened the door I nearly top
pied over with establishment. The in
terror of the cottage was perfect lit
tie bijou. We entered a square hall
toxl To To- sr nj oh
green, with stork flights In long panels
on the walls and palm in one corner
in big lacquered vase Off to the right
was an exquisite little drawing room,
finished in silver gray and full of good
pictures and artistic bric-a-brac. Later
on was shown over the whole house,
and found everything else equally at
tractive. The explanation my friend
gave was peculiar. You see, owned
this place. he said, and we didn't have
enough money to fix up both the inside
and the outside according to our ideas.
If we had tried to spread 1t over the
whole thing the result would have been
cheap and common, so we put all we
had on the interior. and instead of at
tempting to beautify the externals 1
turned to and made 'em as outlandish
as possible. Those patches you saw on
the walls aren't necessary, but nailed
them up for the sake of the ensemble.
and then I knocked off a few Of the
shutters with an ak. We paid man to
haul load of trash into the yard, and
I never pass without kicking picket
out of the fence The result is that our
friends all think we're to original for
anything, and the effect of our little
furnishings IS enhanced about 500 per
cent by contrast. No bother to be poor

Christmas.

= b.
An old song preserved in the Har-
leian manuscripts, in the British mus
uem, asserts that it is peculiarly lucky
when Christmas falls on a Sunday.
.That wynter shall be good" it says;
"the somer shall be faire and drye,"
and the year that follows Christmas
will be a '.good TYNE all thyngs to
dom"
If there is any virtue in the old ST.
perstition, 1899 should be a cheerful
twelvemonth. For our own nation,
indeed, it promises we'll And it would
seem singularly fitting that a happy
year should begin with the years hap

Luck" alone will not ensure pros
perity or contentment But the Com
panion, while wishing its readers a
merry Christmas, assures them of a
good tyne" to follow, if through all
the months they cherish the Christmas
spirit--the disposition to make the
most of ones blessings and the best
of ones troubles, and to be thoughtful,
hopeful, generous and kind.

The First Celebration of Christmas.

The First Celebration OF Christmas.
Christmas was first celebrated in the
year 9S, but it was 90 years later be-
fore it was officially adopted as a
Christian festival; nor was it until
about the fifth century that the day
Of celebration became permanently
fixed on the 25th of December. Up to
that time it had been irregularly OBJ
served at various times of the year
in December, in April and in May, but
most frequently in January.-Ladies'

CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS.

"Gift-making is one Of the most
gracious features Of Christmas. and
one that I pray may survive all other
outgroWn customs" writes Florence
Hull Winterburn, in the Womans
Home Companion. When love and
sympathy are close counselors there is
little fear that we shall make the mis-
take of leaving out of our little ones
stocking the particular thing he has
set his heart upon getting. And if his
choice is beyond us to crafty, let us
come as near to it as we can, and not
convert this season into sort Of con-
venience for ourselves, thrusting upon
his reluctant acceptance such prosaic
articles as Shoes hats and other essen
tials Of the toilet. Far prettier is the
German custom Of bestoWing gaudy
trifies that have no use in themselves
but are part OF the glitter and fashion
of the holiday. When it is possible
nothing is SO good to have as the ira
ditional Christmas tree. In after years
memory hangs upon it fondly, and we
bless in our hearts the kind hands that
took SO much trouble to give us pleas
ure.
Then the stocking hung up on
Christmas eve has romance all its
own. The breakfast table dressed with
holly-berries and gifts piled under
snowy napkins is graceful custom,
and is far nicer than the blunt hand
ing out Of our gifts. Some trouble
should be taken to create the welcome
element of surprise. We all like it,
but it is one Of the greatest delights
D in child's experience. He finds out
before we would choose to have him
that what is looked forward to most
eagerly seldom turns out well. It is
sad philosophy, yet true, that it is
dangerous to set ones heart on any
thing in this world. But the love that
hides it's intention until the hour Of
fulfillment, and then lets out its secret
in an outburst Of generosity, is the
best substitute that is ever offered for
the special Providence-S Santa Claus,
and all other gracious myths.
San example of generosity is seldom
lost upon children if it is true, not
artificial. They are very willing to
live up to. their little knowledge, II we
allow them the chance, and part of
our duty to the day is to encourage in
our young people the same kindness
we cultivate in ourselves. It is so
much easier to learn in youth to be
genial, sympathetic and generous than
it is after embittering experiences have
hardened our hearts,

Reynolds was born at Owego of colored
parents, and was the eldest of five chill
dren. His sister, with whom he now
lives, is as lack as a colored woman can

After his change of color from black
to white exposure to the suns rays al
ways made Reynolds ill. His affliction
is known to scientists as vitligo, or leu
corderma. 1t is characterized by the
gradual disappearance of the black pig
ment from the epidermal pigment layer
of cells. The cause is wholly unknown.
The pigment is absent in whites. One
theory advanced is that the pigment
serves as a protection to blacks in the
warm belts from the effects of the suns
rays.
