What the Eye Tells.

Eyes are very treacherous, and those
who meddle In amorous matters should
know all about them.
When the upper lid covers half or
more of the pupil, the indication Is OF
cool dellberation. An eye the upper
lid Of which passes horizontally across
the pupil indicates mental ability. Un-
steady eyes. rapidly jerking from side
to side, are frequently indicative of an
unsettled mind. 1t Is said that the
prevailing color of eyes among the pa
tients of lunatic asylums are brown
and black. Eyes of any color with
weak brows and long, concave lashes
are indicative of weak constitution.
Eyes that are wide apart are said to
indicate great intelligence and tena-
cious memory. Eyes of which the
whole iris Is Visible belong to erratic
persons, even with tendency toward
insanity. Wide open, staring eyes In
weak countenances indicate jealousy.

Through vineyard scarped defie,
The world we enter with a wall
She greeted with q smile.
slumbering, she smiled and, smiling. woke,
And when she felt the smart
OF grave, sad life smiles still bespoke
Her tenderness OF heart,
And nightly when she knelt ard prayed
Beside her snow white bed
Her face was one pure smile that made
A heaven about her head.
When love first trembled in her ear
The heart throbs that beguile,
She listened with asserting tear,
Then chased 1t with smile.
Sorrow and pain with smiles she bore
Unto her latest breath,
But the sweetest smile she ever wore
Was the smile she wore In death.

for that day, and as every moment Of
Mr.. Selden's time was employed for sew
eral successive ones, it was nearly a
week after Georges arrival before any
inquiries were made for the family. The

found, but Mr.. Selden was told that the

they should attempt at first to extract the
fragments of bone, to raise and draw out
successfully the sunken plates. to adjust
the points, and in a word, with their
primitive instruments, as primitive as
those of ancient Greece and Persia. to ac-
complish the linear readjustment of the
edges of the fracture, forming a quad
rangular or polygonal orifce. After this
they could easily make the orifice circu-
lar or ellipsoidal, etc, by means of strong
chisels or estiletes of copper, silver, or
gold; or else by an instrument called
'tumi,' which consisted of a blade,
straight or curved like a crescent.
How do we know that the operation
was performed upon the owners of the
skulls while they were living? 1t is not
at all difficult to know whether the bone
has been separated while the individual
was living and whether he survived the
operation; the length of time could even
be determined approximately. There are
histologic features disclosed by a magni-
flying glass which prove beyond shad-
ow of doubt the survival of the individ-
ual. Moreover, the veneration of the an
cient Peruvians for their dead completely
disproves the supposition that the opera
ton could be performed upon the body
after death. All the skulls pertain TO a
period at least two hundred years ante
rior to the discovery of America by Co.
lumbus'
Trephining Is fairly common opera
tion in modern surgery 1t consist es-
scntially in the removal of small sec
ton from one of the bones of the skull,
usually in the form of a circular button
or rondelle. Ordinarily the operation is
performed by means Of trephine, or an
nular saw, supplemented by a few other
instruments Of simple character, includ-
Ing elevators. stout forceps, etc, together
with the usual appliances for making and
closing the attendant incisions in the
scalp. In some cases the button is re-
stored, either entire or broken up; In 9TH
er instances 1t is replaced by plate of
silver or other substance; sometimes the
aperture is left and covered only by the
scalp.
By most practitioners trephining is re-
garded as serious or even desperate
operation. and is resorted to only in grave
cases. The mortality resulting from the
operation is, according to reliable statis-
tics, over so per cent.

FOUR MORE BODIES FOUND.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31.-The efforts

that of Miss Marian Ashmead, of 1i5 West

The body of Mrs. Cross. who was a
daughter of Magistrate Brown, was
found at 2:30 o'clock, when Policemen Jol-

of Mrs. Matthews, formally identified it

Whittier, and Holmes. When Hawthorne

than ever before, and he desired to pur-

ANOTHER BETHLEHEM PLANT.
Steel Deal for $7,5OO,OOO Now
Practically Under Way.

JERSEY CITY, Aug denomination
of the recent announcement that capital
lists are about to develop the great Hack
| ensack meadows by the establishment of
large shipbuilding plant, immense
DOCKS and possibly belt-line railroad.
which will connect with all the trunk
lines now entering Jersey City and Hobo
ken, was furnished yesterday when a
mortgage for $7500,0O0 by the Bethlehem
Steel Company was filed with the regis
ter of Hudson County, n. ].
The securities deposited under the mort
gage include 5,555 acres of land on the
Hackensack meadows. An important fea-
ture of the big Anglo-American steel deal
is thus brought to lighS.
The prime mover in the scheme is re-
ported to be ]. Pierpont Morgan. The
railroads in which Mr.. Morgan is inter
ested, including the Jersey Central, Read
ing, and Erie, will before long want a
large amount of terminal property near
Jersey City and the Hackensack meadow
lands will meet the requirements. Should
these roads desire to build more grain ele-
vators the meadow lands will be cheaper
for this purpose than land along the
North River.
1t was said on trustworthy authority, in
spite of denials. that the Bethlehem Wick
ers Maxim deal would go through and
that the details of the big combination
had already been agreed upon. 1t is said
that the company will build another big
steel plant in addition to the one at Beth
lehem. to be used chiefly for the manu-
facture of armor plate. This plant may
be located in Pennsylvania. within easy
reach of the mining district.
The Hackensack meadows will be the
site of great shipbuilding plant, the To-
cation being considered particularly suited
TO such an enterprise. Large amounts
viii be expended to deepen the Hacken-
sack River and Newark Bay. and the
Government is expected to back up this
part of the enterprise with liberal appTo-
priations.ss The railroads with which Mr..
Morgan is identified will utilize that part
of the $3.50 acres not needed by the Beth
lehem company for yards and shops.
The Pike property. which belongs to
single estate is said to be included in
the land embraced in the mortgage
Although there are 10.000 acres along
the meadows available for manufactur-
ing purposes. it is believed that the $3.50
acres mentioned is all that the Bethle-
hem Company has acquired. Had there
been negotiations with many dlferent
owners the scheme would nave become
known before this time.
III is understood that the Pike property
was bought recently by Philadelphia
syndicate. the members VI winch are
friendly to Drexel & Co. 1t was their in
teutiorr T. turn is over to third parties,
and the impression is that the land in
question embracing ten miles of water
front. has been turned over to the Beth
lehem Company.
When the subject was referred to J. p
Morgan yesterday at his office he sent
word that he knew nothing about it.

Sherwood Forest, the home of John
Tyler, tenth President of the United
States, is on the James River, some dis
tance below Richmond. The house is
eight rooms in length and only one in
depth. To the right of the entrance is
a dancing hall; to the left a dining
room, from which q spiral staircase
winds to the floor above. Each room
opens upon the lawn, as do also the
narrow corridors which connect the
two end rooms.
A local tradition of Tyler records as
an instance of his popularity among his
own people that on one occasion when
there were seven candidates for the
Legislature from his district he received
all but five of the votes polled. Today
his old home is occupied by his son, D.
