PHILOSOPHY OF THE EYES

otry, intolerance, and pertinacity with
out tirinness.
When the upper lid covers half or
more Of the pupil, the indication Is Of
cool dellberation.
Unsteady eyes, rapidly jerking from
side to side, are frequently indicative
of an unsettled mind.
Gray eyes turning green in anger or
excitement are indicative of choler-
ic temperament.
An eye the upper lid of which passes
horizontally across the pupil indicates
mental ability.
1t is said that the prevailing colors Of
eyes among the patients of lunatic
asylums are brown and black.
Eyes of any color with weak brows
and long cOncave lashes, are Indicative
of weak constitution.
When the under arch of the upper
eyelid is perfect semcircle it is indi-
cativc of goodness, but also timidty,
sometimes approaching cowardice.
All men of genius are said to have
eyes clear, slow moving. and bright.
This is the eye which indicates mental
ability of some kind, 1t does not mat
ter what.
Blue eyes are generally considered
effeminate, but this is mistake. for
blue eyes are found only among Cau-
casiOn nations. and the white races
rule the world.
