SOME HAVE TwO FACES.
Marked Differences Noted In the sides

Marked Differences Noted in the sides
OF "A WOman's Face.
1t is a physiological fact that the two
sides OF a woman's face are seldom in
agreement. 1t would be. perhaps, I'M
charitable to call the sex Janus-faced, but
Notwithstanding the fact remains that a
person viewing but one side of a fair ones
face has no conception OF what the other
side looks like. One side shows certain
characteristics which the other does not,
and each contradicts the other.
The left side is nearly always the ~prettier,
although it would take a very keen eye to
discern any difference, but it is worth
while to remember this when posing for
ones photograph.
The cause OF this difference in the two
sides OF the face is explained by scientists,
who tell us-what We already know-that
the brain is made up in two sections, or
hemispheres, as they are called. Those
sections operate quite differently because
Of the varied functions they perform. The
hemisphere Oh the right has to do with the
physical life; that on the left is concerned
with the mental qualities. AS the brain is
in close communication with all parts Of
the body. It is natural to understand that
its workings can be easily read once its
effect on any given muscle is understood.
The physiognomists have learned to read
these muscles. Ordinary folk cannot go so
deeply into the subject; they simply look to
find the result OF muscular development In
the face. Through the varied and different
workings OF the two brain sections the
facial muscles are developed or retarded in
growth.
For example. the physical characteristics
Of the right hemisphere Of the brain pro-
duce an effect on the right side OF the face
much more quickly than the workings Of
the left hemisphere. This eject on the

velvet Gowns
Many velvet gowns are seen, some OF
them, both in black and color, a little too
jetted and spangled for good taste. But
when trimmed with plain cloth they are
eminently desirable. and since some Of the
English velveteens might almost pass for
the real thing a velvet dress seems possible
to all.
The revived style OF using narrow bands
Of fur on cloth is eloquently suited to the
richly tinted drabs in vogue. For instance,
a smart little gown of coral pink cloth was
trimmed with narrow rows of brown sable,
the bordering the slmply-gored skirt, wide
sleeves, and a little shoulder cape. Some
sort of a deep collar or cape effect dis
tinguished many Of the French toilettes, on
a number of which a coarse wash lace sug-
gestive of crochet is used. When the frock
is white this dentelle course matches, for it
never varies in color from the gown. One

which the biographies of these men are

characters were not so despicable and

charitable to make due allowances for
the shortcomings of genius. Still it

We're gentlemen born and college bred,
And we're walking the path to hell,

We are many and loud is the tread

OF the devils tools we are held in thrall.
Honor? Bah! we have stopped to fall,
And the tales not nice to tell.
Prayers? We've broken away and dreamed,
Led by the eyes that laughed and lied;
Prayed for h0nor.and strength, and tried
How our old clean living seemed.
Kisses, lies, and broken pledge,
Soft hands pulling US over the edge,
To drag us into the mire and sedge
Where those wili-o.the-wisp eyes CLEANED.
Hope and happiness not for us;
We must serve where we choose to go,
Serve with never sign of fuss,
While the devil waits for the most of us
To pay him the debt We owe.

Trade? For pleasure our souls we sell.

" HERE was once an aDS0iuto
monarch who sentenced two
of his subjects to be imprison-
ed for life. Thelocation of the
prison was remarkable for the strr..oo
contrast of prospects presented to view
from the only two windows it contain
ed. Situated on lofty ridge, the north
window of the ptIson looked down on a
gloomy cypress swamp, which extend
ed as far as the eye could reach--the
dark foliage of the trees, with their long
moss-like funeral drapery, presented a
somber gloom, and were tenanted by
bats, owls, and other ill-omened
birds. The water was as black as ink;
and, putrid with stagnatioD, it sent
forth fetid, poisonous miasma, diff
cult to breathe, and deleterious to
health filling the atmosphere contin-
ually with dark masses of clouds and
pestilential vapors. From this swamp no
pleasant sounds greeted the ear, which
was saluted by the hoot of che owl, the
croak of the raven, and the splash of
the alligator in pursuit of the reptiles
with which the place was infested.
The south window opened upon a
landscape, charming to the eye,
and grateful to the senses. The coun-
try, till it reached the ocean, was beau
tifully diversified with hills and wales,
clothed in perennial verdure, ornament
ed with trees, adorned with flowers, re-
freshed with purling streams, and en-
livened by the operations of industry.
On this side the air was pure, and a re-
freshing sea-breeze kept the vapors of
the swamp from passing the mountain
GUS ridge on which the prison was stu
ated; no sounds we're heard but the
caroling Of birds, songs of JOY and
shouts of gladness. All was peace,
sunshine, prosperity, and entertain
ment.

When these two prisoners found

themselves shut up in this prison their
conduct was as different as the pros
poets presented from its windows. One
of them was overwhelmed with gloomy
despair. He was displeased with his
sovereign, and execrated the sentence
of incarceration. Refusing all consola-
tion, he spent his time in contemplate
ing the dreary prospect from the north
window of his prison-house, and MAX
ing himself still more miserable by
dwelling constantly on the dreary des
oIation before him. Instead of chang
ing his prospect, which he could have
done at pleasure, he vented his spleen
and Miniature in murmuring, repining
and unavailing regrets. His digestion
was impaired, his health injured, till,
by long habit, he lost the power, as we'll
as the disposition, to change the view,
which in time completely jaundiced his
eyesight; or to cease the habit of COM
planning, in which he had so long in
dulged. His life was short and miser-
able.
| The other prisoner pursued differ
ent course. Having unbounded conf
dence in the wisdom of his sovereign,
and hoping his Imprisonment might
eventually turn out for the best, he
wisely determined to make the most of
his situation; to cease to lament for
that which he could not help, and study
help for that which he lamented. He
Immediately placed himself at the south
window. Here he could see sunshine.
and amuse himself with the beautiful
| prospects before him. This view cheer
ed his heart, exhilarated his spirits, and
enabled him to imbibe no small portion
of consolation from the many good
things which attracted his notice ano
elected his admiration. While his
companion was listening to the croak
ing of frogs and the Kissing of serpents
he was regaled with the melody of tht
feathered songsters; and while his com
lpanion had his attention attracted b!

things both good and evil; and the

covered entirely from the effect of the
bank statement and more confident
tone developed, based partly on the
increased conviction that the Presi-
dents message would be extremely con-
sentative on the subject of trusts and
that the report of Congress was de-
cidedly opposed to any meddling with
the tariff. The fresh bull demonstra-
tons in the local fractions also en-
couraged the impression that some of
the larger interests were disposed to
cultivate more activity in favor of an
advance. Brooklyn and Metropolitan

plain these movements, but gossip

spicuously strong and some street ru-

rived the day previous and took her
station on the bar with the Kwasind,
of the independent faction. The frst
vessel to heave in sight was the Swed-
ish bark Glahand. about twelve miles
distant, and II was the signal for the
boats to be off. Within two minutes
after the vessel was sighted they were
blowing through the waters of the Gulf,
all canvas being crowded on and the
white spray was flying. The Kwasind
soon began to move ahead and in
creased the distance until over mile
separated the two yachts. She reached
the bark first and placed an indepen-
dent pilot aboard. Shortly afterward
a schooner was sighted far down the
beach and a similar race with similar
results took place. In the afternoon
race of fifteen miles after an Italian
bark occurred. The Kwasind again
won, although her forestaysail had
been carried away in the first race.
When the yachts went out yesterday
morning the championship pennant was
flying over the Oracle, but when they
came up at dark it had been lowered
and the Kwasind had the colors flying
proudly from her masthead. Hundreds
of persons saw the races through
glasses.
