BEAUTY MEASURED IN THE EYES

In a perfect face every feature
should bear a certain fixed proportion
to every other feature. Take for
example, the relation between the
width OF the eyes and the width of
the face. -
The width of the face should he
equal to FIVE eyes. The distance be-
tween the eyes should be exactly
equal to one eye.
Another important relation is that
between the eyes and the mouth.
The width of the eyes should be equal
to two-thirds that of the mouth.
The nose should be equal in length
to the height of the forehead, of a
regular shape and precisely defined
outline. The forehead should be
equal In height to the length of the
nose and OF that part of the face be-

the most beautiful, but the higher,
and fuller it is, all other things being
equal, the greater the capacity and
strength of the mind.
The ancients admired low fore
head in woman. A large, broad fore
head gives woman a masculine and
defiant look.
The ideal head rounds out above
the ears, globe-like; its size should
be an eighth part of the height of the
whole figure. The height and width
of woman's head should be one inch
less than a mans.
The ear should be twice the width
of the eye, aud the distance from the
opening of the ear to the top of the
crown should be exactly the same
width as the head. Ears should be
small, delicate and compact, of she'll
like shape.
The length of the neck should be
trihe more than one-third of the
length of the head. The diameter of
the neck should be a little less than
one-half of that of the head. It
should be rounded and full.
The waist should be twice the size
of the neck.
The length of the hand and wrist
should be equal to the length of the
face. If there is any discrepancy,
either the hand or the face is badly
proportioned.
The length of the index finger
should be exactly one-half the length
of the hand. The foot should be the
same length of the forearm.
The left side of a woman's face is
nearly always the prettier. 1t is al
most invariably fuller than the right
side, which, by comparison, has a
slightly sunken appearance. The
right eye itself appears to lose some
thing of the animation shown by the
left, which is stronger. The right
eye, too, is somewhat higher than
The difference in the two sides ofa
face is more noticeable in the old
than in the young.

CHOOSING DAIRY COWS BY TYPE.

Too many dairy men are feeding
and milking cows which 90 not pay
for their keep. What good does it
do us if we know how to care for
milk, produce the best cream, make
fine butter and market it we'll, if we
lose in the end by keeping poor cows?
clarifying doesn't pay" is said by
the man whose COWS don't pay, and
how many we keep in our dairy herds
which have neither breed nor type to
perform the work we expect of them.
The difference between $25 and an
$S5 yearly average per cow is too
great to give no heed. 1t is the diff
ference between sorry loss and
good profit.
The other day, while conducting a
stock judging class, some visitors en-
tered. We were working on two
grade, smooth, block build, with poor
dairy points, but she looked like what
some people call "slick cow" the
other was small-boned dairy animal,
with we'll defined dairy points. For
tunately we had the butter records
for several years of these two ami
mails, and did not have to guess at
what they could do as producers. To
get an expression from my visitors I
asked them which COW they would
pick, and two chose the large blocky
cow, while one favored the dairy
type.
Now the real value between these
two animals was $35 and $I35, for,
while eating nearly the same amount,
one averaged $50 pounds, while the
other averaged $50 pounds of butter
year. These two animals were very
different in type, and any one could
see marked variation if he had the
two before him for comparison.
The ability to select dairy cow by
type is most important and valuable.
We have, it is true, the Babcock test
and scales to find the butter capacity
of a COW, but we cannot take these
around with US in buying our cows,
neither can we tell by one or two tests
what an animal is worth. There
fore, the practical method of selecting
cattle is by type. Dealers in stock
are compelled to use this method
alone. An animal is worth according
to its form and breeding. Fortunate
ly we are able to find, very convent
entity, the proper type for the dairy
COW. Going on the basis that hand
some is that handsome does" anC
applying by a number of diferen
types, breeds and individuals, we cal
obtain a great deal of valuable infor
mation.-P'gf. II. L. Hoecke', 6ef0r'

REASON AND INSTINCT IN ANIMALS.

'Men who are not in sympathy
with the modern school of nature
study are inclined to scoff at the idea
that lower forms of life are capable of
reasoning" said an observant man,
"and 1 am inclined to believe it is all
due to to the fact that they have not
taken enough interest in the things
around them to observe what is to me,
and should be to them, of SURPRISING
interest. have heard men say that
chickens could not reason that all
they did was to follow instinct in
blind sort of fashion, and all that kind
of thing. That may be the correct
view. 1 have never been able to diff
ferentiate clearly between instinct
and reason. However, / am just
bit inclined to insist that chickens
have reasoning powers, and from my
observations they are of no mean
order. If the old hen doesn't reason
how is it that she manages to keep
track of her chickens? Did you ever
notice an old hens conduct when
clucking her young under her wings,
or into the nests? Did you ever no
tice how she acts when one of them
is missing, or when the little fellow
is behind time in putting in an ap-
pearance? do not know just how
highly the mathematical sense is de-
veloped in hen. She may not be
able to count at all. But there is
one thing certain, and that is that
she is capable Of telling when one of
her brood is missing. Call it count
ing or not, just as you please, the re-
suit is the same. Again, why is it
that laying hen will desert her nest
if you take the nest egg out? Why
should she go to the trouble of ar
ranging another nest, just because you
have taken out the last egg? She
will do it every time, and there is no
| doubt she has reason for it. If y5E
could understand her language, and
could analyze her feelings when she
finds that the last egg has been taken
from the nest, you will probably find
that she was reasoning fairly well for
chicken. You may take eggs out,
but you must leave one there, the
nest egg as we call it. Is she ac-
tuated by feeling Of fear when she
deserts the nest when the last egg has
been removed? In my opinion, she
is. She feels that her nesting place
has been discovered, invaded and rob-
bed by some unfriendly creature, and
so she slips away to some other place
and finds a new nest. These are
small things, but they are interesting,
and may have deeper meaning than
we know of at this time when we
have so much to learn about the lower
! forms of life. They make nature
study an interesting subject at all
times, and humanity may gain much
by closer observation of these little
things"

sanity ss Special to St. Louis Globe Democrats
 Tn a decision handed down by the sus preme Court today 1t was held that Q mans belief. in hidden treasures buried by the Indians and guarded by enchant- ment, or his belief in witchcraft. does not prove him to be Insane. It was pointed out that Blackstone and Sir Matthew Hale believed In witches and in burning them. judgment declaring the win of Joseph Wait invalid was reversed for lack of evidence.
 The evidence showed that Wait spent much time wandering over his own and his neighbors' farms, near Indianapolis. trying to find an enchanted treasure by means of a small ball hung on a strig. which he expected would whirl around when he reached the spot where the treasure was buried. He often, dug for the treasure and told stories about being prevented from getting 1t by wild cattle and horses that rushed upon him through a fence, throwing the fence rails thirty feet into the air, and "brealklng the en- chantment."
 On one occasion he reported that he had been swallowed by deluge of water, which stopped his digging, but left the ground perfectly dry. Judge Hadfey wrote the opinion of the Court Many scholar iy and successful business men," said he, sincerely believe in spirftualisna and of being able, through a medium, to talk to the spirits of depart ted friends.

 CoYnuanv

Two of Hoyt's Comedies by . Good
 Company.
 - As a, comedian; Jack Campbell is ire sistible. A comedienne. Sylvia Starr is bewitching- a
 !. These co-stars. supported by capable company. produced two of Charlie Hoyt's best comedies at the Montgomery Theatre yesterday. "A Stranger in New York" was the matinee bill. "A Trip to China. town" was played at night. Big audi ences saw the plays. and there are per- sons who are laughing yet at the original methods bf Jack Campbell. Others there be who. will cherish happy recollections of the vivacity of Sylvia Starr. !
 This Mr. Campbell and this Miss Sylvia Starr were seen here last season in the same plays. They made an impression which has been deepened by yesterdays visit.
 As the Stranger and as Strong, MT. Campbell sang topical songs until he had reached his limit. Then he told stories and the people roared. There was never too much of Mfr. Campbell. He is just as good as Otis Harlan and Otis Harlan Is as good as any of the good ones.
 Miss Starr Is not the rt-skirted come dienne. Not she. She is a. statuesaue young woman with . pretty face, who wears her gowns we'll and many of them, on different occasions. Of course. She just bubbles over with fun. and she sings In good voice. Likewise she dances well when It comes her turn She, at all times, keeps the audience under the iilu- sion that she is doing the thing for the fun of 1t, and would scorn to take the managers money. And surely that comes near being good acting.
 Mir. Black, as T.. Collier Downe, in the afternoon, and Ben Gay at night, was good. the the Baron Sands of Mir. Beam- ish at the matinee was a clever bit of character work.
