by an incident which occurred not

Expression of the Eye.

DR.. Duchinne states that the human
eye has no fewer than eighty seven
distinct expressions. This is certainly
surprising, inasmuch as one WOULD
have been inclined to suppose there
were not more than a dozen at the out
side. But each one of the dozen, as
ascertained by the French scientist,
represents in reality a group of ex-
pressions which, though related to
each other, are none the less distinct
and to be separately identified.
The basis of all these multiform ex-,
pressions is muscular. 1t is an old
story that the eye itSelf-that is to say
the ball of the eye-has no play of ex-
preston at all. All or the expressive
ness of the organ lies in the lids, and
the surrounding muscles, which as
sumo different arrangements in re-
Spouse to various emotions felt. Thus,
grief, mfrth, anxiety, surprise, horror,
scorn, affection, hate, etc., find their
outward manifestations in correspond
ing adjustments of the brows, the lids
and the adjacent parts of the face.
The muscles of the face, as a whole,
which the owner possesses such com
plete control that the expressions of
the countenance may be varied almost
indefinitely. Whereas the eye has only
eighty-seyen expressions thus far rec
ognized, the expressions of the facA
ruin up into the thousands.
Hitherto this network of muscles has
been studied with regard to its physi-
cal anatomy only, but DR.. Duchenne
has made a. complete map of 1t with
reference to the emotions represented
by various arrangements of the mus
c1es.

Though thy frowning browS repel me,
And thy glance of GOODNESS kill,
l Will suffer like a lover
Be thy fond lover still.
1t is not every young woman who
can receive readable poetry from her
sweetheart. The Theosophist young
lady was jealous of the havoc created
by Herman Wood" as a swain. When
she and her family moved to Washing
ton she made sure that "he' should
board where theres were no attractive
young women to engage his affections.
1t was decided that Herman" should
go to live with Mrs. Ernestine L.
Rauck, who had a clearinghouse at
No. 719 North Eutaw street. Mrs.
Rauck is a widow, thirty-eigh years
old, and has two children.
After the girl to whom she was en-
gagged left town, Lota Sawyer plunged
deeper than ever into mannish dissipa-
ton. She drank more heavily, stood
at bars for hours throwing dice, and
was mixed up in more than one saloon
brawl, in which she did things that no
one would have believed possible of
Lota Sawyer.
Just about the time that Lota's
money was exhausted Mrs. Rauck fol-.
lowed the presidents and fell in love
with Herman Wood" who not only
escaped bothering about board bills
but could borrow what money +he"
needed from his landlady. She really

OTHERS HAVE MAsouERADED.

Forty-five or more instances Of wo-
men who have lived as men have come
to light in the last ten years. There
are also many accounts of men who
lived as women.
A scientist has estimated that one
woman in every 5000 Is the victim Of
this strange mania.
Some of the best known cases are:
Murray Hamilton Hall, who lived
as man of fifty years, thirty of
which were spent in New York, where
she voted regularly. She died at the
age of seyenty-one, on Jan. 16, 1901.
She had two wives, one of whom sur
vived her
William Howard, who was really Al
ice G. Howard, Of Cananda1gua, N. Y,
died March % last. She had lived for
forty years with a woman to whom she
had been married.
George Green, who died early this
year, in Petersburg, Pa, had lived for
sixty years as woman, and had been
married for thirty-f1ve years. She
worked in the mines, and did other
manual labor of the heaviest kind. She
died at the age of seventy-four, leav-
ing a widow.
Caroline G. Hall, Boston woman,
was on the way home to New York
from abroad, where she had been tour
ing for years as the husband of Wo-
suddenly on the voyage, and then her
sex was revealed.
Ellis Glenn, of Hillsboro, Ill, was
arraigned about a year ago for forgery
and was also accused of wooing and
winning Ella Duke, of Butler. She
claimed that this was the work of her
twin brother, but she was positively
identified. She was released on a
technica1ity, and, no twin brother hav-
ing ever been found, Ellis Glenn still
remains something of a mystery.
Burt Martin, famous outlaw of Ne
braska, was really Lena Martin. She
was given a long term in state prison,
and her sex was not discovered until
after She had been incarcerated for
eleven months. She had been living
as man for years.
Sergt. Frank Wayne, whose real
name was Frances Wayne, was a SOL
der in the United States army, and
saw much actual service. She was
killed in battle in 1862.
DR.. James Barry was an Englishwo-
man who served as an army surgeon
in Malta and at the Cape for years
before her sex was discovered.
Christian Cavanaugh served with
the English army in Malta, fought a
duel and when her sex was discover
ed, remained with her regiment as a
cook.

was not a boy at all. 1t is not known
how she came to discover the secret.
Mrs. Haumen did not speak to Lota
about it.
In Love With the Part.
But Lota concluded that Herman
Wood" had better move. BY this time
she was thoroughly in love with play
ing the part of boy, or rather of a
young man, for she took on the airs
and bearing of maturity.
Until this period Lotas had been rath-
er girlish boy who Stunned the
youthful vices and showed no DISPOSE
ton to ape those of men. Her soft
voice led others to make fun of her
and she was frequently called a sissy"
To make herself as nannish as pos
sible, to allay all suspicious and to be
accepted for what she appeared to be
without reservation, became the pas
sion of Lota Sawyer's life.
She learned to smoke and then to
drink. She was not content with CT
garettes and light wines, but went in
for cigars and whisky.
In the Theosophist Society she had
met a young woman whose home was
in EutaW street, near Preston, with
whose parents she went to live. The
TheoSophiSt young woman was very
pretty and very charming and she had
many admirers, but the fascinating
Herman Wood, who dressed in such ex-
cellent taste, who wrote such beautiful
poetry, and who talked so charmingly,
speedily distanced them all. There
isn't any doubt she became very much
in love with him"
Herman Wood" had made love to
many young women before, and they
were not willing to give him up. They
delighted in his attentions and in his
poetry. Many of his verses were pub
lshed in Baltimore and elsewhere
Some of these have been collected. To
one young woman she wrote:
do love thee, fondly love thee.
Throbs thy image in my breast,
And the bright vision ever
Soothes my soul to blissful rest.
Let thy hand, dear one not spurn me
While 1 whisper in thy ear.
Gushing from my hearts recesses
Words that thou alone must hear.

complete outfit of boys clothing and
set about making herself look as mas
culine as possible.
As she freed herself from the atmos-
phere of her home the desire to kill
herself departed. The spirit of adven-
ture took possession of her.
She decided to go to Baltimore, trav-
cling thither by boat, and successfully
passing muster among the men she
met. In Baltimore she went to board
with Mrs. o. H. Haumen in Saratoga
street. BY this time Lota had deter
mined to remain a boy as long as she
could. She decided to call herself Her
man Gray Wood, and she rehearsed a
very pretty story to account for herself.
Herman Wood found work as a clerk
In grocery store in Baltimore street,
bat she did not work there very long.
She won the affection of Mrs. Haumen
almost Immediately, and that good wo-
man speedily came to the conclusion
that she would adopt her boarder as
her son. She refused to take money
from him and insisted upon supply
ing his wants.
Mrs. Haumen treated Herman
Wood as generously as If ''he" had
been her own son. Lota Sawyer made
a very lovable boy, and things ran
along pleasantly for both of them until
Mrs. Haumen moved to NOAH st. Paul
street. There the clearinghouse mis-
tress discovered that the youth whom
she had come to look upon as her son
