JOSEPH KUBLER, PUBLISHER

The smallest claim ever presented TO
congress was filed the other day. II
was for 81, and Secretary Root, In q let

GUIDED in the general deficiency bill.
The claim Is that OF Mrs. b.. N. Reuter-

eminent engineers, while blasting near
her house, caused an explosion which
hurled a stone through n OF her III
dows. The stone did so cents worth OF

having the matter investigated by an

the claim was n just one and should be
paid. General Wilson, after allowing
the claim to travel along the routine OF
his Office, referred II through military
channels to the secretary Of war. THAT

EYES AND HAIR.
rhey Reveal tho qualifications of the In
diyidual.

Oivldual.
Washington Times: Much has been
written on the subject of determining the
temperament of men and women by their
physical characteristics. A long study of
human kind has established the fact that
the color and fneness of the hair, the
color and popularity of the eyes furnish
an index to the general mental and moral
qualities of the individual. The study OF
eyes and hair in this connection seems
10 be quite as fascinating as that or
phrenology or physiognomy, and at some
time during the twentieth century ii may
be reduced to more or less of a science.
At any rate, hat which a close observa-
ton of many people has deduced Is in
teresting as an aid TO character study.
Regarding this matter. the Christian
Herald publishes the following article:
Either the eyes or the hair can be
relied upon as a reasonably accurate in
deX TO character. In a persons eye his
temperament, his mood or amount OF in
telIlsence, may be read. while the hair
reveals the degree of birth and breed
ing, and is a barometer OF a persons
health and mental condition.
In judging character by the eyes, the
color, the brightness or dullness, and the
shape must be considered The coloi
most common TO the eyes-brown, grey,
blue, hazel and black, or what is called
biack,aTe seldom found in the purity OF
NV NpioIs |INtBaTulnS the DlaCk
eye, like the Spaniard's, II is distance
onIy, that makes 1t appear to be purely
black, for the reason that the deem vel
low brown color is In such strong con-
trast to the white of the eye that the
pupil always appears black. There are
also eyes OF so bright a hazel as to seem
almost yellow. and there are eyes that
bear out the often reiterated remark
concerning 'green-eyed jealousy for they
are 10 all Appearances positively green.
They are sometimes beautiful when
shaded with long and dark eye-lasbes.
but they are not indicative of a good dis
position, and belong particularly to q
person of a jealous temperament.
Intensity Of feeling Is to be found in
the man or woman who possesses black
eyes. Aaron Burr had such eyes. Tho
brown eyes, when not of the yelloWish
tint but pure russell brown, show an af-
tCctioEate disposition, and the darker the
brown-that Is, the more they verge on
10 that deepest of brown color I'm ewes
we are in the habit of calling black-the
more ardent, while IL Is agreed that the
affection of persons with black ewes is
most lasting Of all.
The clear, light blue eyes Of Amer
leans, with a calm steadiness In their
glance, are Indicative Of a cheerful dis
position, Of q serene temper, and of a
constant nature. The pleasant, light blue
eye with the honest glance must not be
COMPOUNDED with another sort of eye of a
pale blue, almost steel-colored blue, which
has a continually shifting sort of motion
both of the eyelids and the pupils. Such
eyes are indicative Of n doubtful and
selfish nature.
