THE MOUTH.
Human Character Revealed by the
 Contour of the Lips.

London Mail.
 According to physiognomist, the lower lip is the most important part of the mouth as an indicator of character. Ac- cording to its fullness, freshness in ap- pearance, and width 1t indicates bene- violence and liberaIity. A pale, shrtveled and narrow lower lip reveals decided want of these qualities.
 There are thick under lips that hang so that they become almost a disfigure- ment. and these, as we'll as looking ugly denote incidence d and a love of luxury. Taking the opposite extreme, however, 1t is not desirable to have pronouncedly thin lips. for when the outline of the lips Is narrow and united to a mouth with a sinister expression, there is indicated a great deficiency of natural kindness in their owner. want of warmth, and but little capacity to love. Well defined and developed lips, the outlines of which are rounded out, are admired for their beauty and moral worth. being, as they are, tokens of tender-hearted. amiable, and sympathetic disposition.
 Well-closed lips are a sign of discre- ton. If the upper one Is long, in ad- dition to being pressed down firmly upon the lower one. both mental and physical power appertain to their owner. Sup posing the upper lip is very short, and the middle teeth of the top row are con- stantIy exposed. a fondness for praise is betrayed.
 Frequently another type of mouth is seen, one in which the corners of the lips descend, indicating person of a des- pondent disposition, prone to dwell over much upon the serious side of life. But when the corners turn up in the form of a Cupid's bow. their posessor is of a bright and cheerful nature, always find ing a silver lining to every cloud and good in everything.

THE ARMY UNIFORM QUESTION
The Constant Wearing of the Uni form Likely to Be Prescribed.

New York Evening Post.
 Adtutant General Corbin has set an ex- cellent example sincc his return from the Philippines by wearing his unif arm while on duty at the War Department It has always been one of the extraordinary anomalies of the American army that ofncers doinf once work have not worn their uniforms from one years end to the other Only during the war with Spain were officers required tc appear in uniform at the War Department There 10 now no order on the subject, and Gen eral Corbin's action has been entirely voluntary, If, as is reported, General Corbin's action Is due to his recent trip abroad, this Is another argument for sending officers to other countries for ob- servation and inspection.
 It is understood that this whole dues- ton is likely to be the subject of an order from the Secretary of War before very long. It Is said that the Depart. msnt is seriously considering the adWsa- biitty of requiring all officers to wear their uniforms at all times, except when on leave of absence, as is the rule in all European armies. The English army alone does not follow this custom, and the similar American rule is simply one of the many vicious military inheritanees of revolutionary days Even in England the adoption of the European custom Is being seriously considered. The older of- hcers of the American service object to the proposed change on the grond that it makes them consptouous. a state of affairs which will quickly pass away as the public becomes familiar with the uni- form. Still other officers object because of the ugliness of the uniform. while others again hope that the enforcement of such rule would lead to the adoption of better uniform. and especially of a better full-dress uniform than the present one. which Is ugliness itself. ~
