know all about them.
When the upper lid covers half or
more Of the pupil. the indication is Of
cool deliberation. An eye the upper
lid OF which passes horizontally across
the pupil indicates meutal ability. Un.
steady eyes. rapidly Jerking from side

unsettled mind. IL 10 said thar the
prevailing color OF eyes among the pa.
tients of lunatie asylums are brown

weak brows aud long. concave lashes
are indicative OF weak constitution.
Eyes that are wide apart are said to
indicate great intelligence and a tena.
