BEAUTY MEASURED IN EYES.

In a perfect face every feature
should bear a certain fixed proper
ton 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. says the New
York Sun, should be equal to five
eyes. The distance between 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 hight of the forehead, of a reg
ular shape and precisely defined out
line. The forehead should be equal in
hight to the length of the nose and
of that part of the face below it.
Foreheads are high or low, round
or square, fiat or convex A smooth
rounded, slightly convex forehead Is
the most beautiful. but the higher,
broader and fuller 1t is. all other
things being equal, the greater the
capacity and strength of the mind.
The ancients admired a 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; it's size should be an
eighth part of the hight of the whole
| figure. The hight and width of a
woman's head should be one inch less
than a mans.
The ear should be twice the width
of the eye, and 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 a she'll
like shape.
The length of the neck should be
trife more than one-third of the
length of the head. The diameter of
the neck should be little less than
one-half of that of the head. 1t 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 as 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 .
slightly sunken appearance. The RICH h
of the animation shown by the left,
which is stronger. The right eye,
too. is somewhat higher than the left.
The difference in the two sides of a
face is more noticeable in the old than
in the young.

THE NEGOTIATIONS OF
A BACHELOR GIRL

Men, says Minnie j. Reynolds in
the Philadelphia Ledger, would like
to dress just as gorgeously as women
if they only dared; witness their
stockings and neckties.
One thing that makes life pleasant
err for women nowadays is that they
are learning to have good times to-
gether, as men always have.
The surest way for a woman to
make a man despise her is to do some
thing for him. Men don't like to be
grateful to women.
If a girl shows signs of brains mar
ry her off young. 1t will probably
be difficult later.
The woman who hits on a scheme
to socialize homework will be the
greatest woman in history. If men
were still doing business as women
do houSework the transportation eys-
tenn of America would be by muleback
instead of railroad.
One of the things that gives the
bachelor girl pause when she thinks
of marriage is all the nice men friends
she will have to give up.
good many men have flattered
themselves since work began that a
woman was wrapped up in them, when
really all she wanted was an escort.
AS much time, brains and labor are
put into homemaking as into any
trade or profession; but because it
does not and never can command
wages the woman who carries it on
can never be financially independent.
The woman who has really loved
learns to shun the sensation. There
is too much discomfort mixed up with
it.
A college professor who was a wise
guy said recently that the reason men
in co-educational institutions resented
the persistent taking of honors by the
girls was that they knew that the APP
parent superiority was really fictitious
that it was they-the men-who were
to occupy the positions of importance
and be the leaders of the world after
graduation. If the manager of home
commanded as good salary as the
manager of a bank they wouldn't
think so.
The bachelor girl may not be able
to wear Paris gowns but she never
has to ask anybody for carfare.
The love of a man and a woman
is never really cemented until they
have a common love for some third
object. 1t may be a study, an occu-
patton, or a child, but something must
unite their interests outside of them
selves if they are to continue to be
interesting to each other.

ification of their vanity. they mean
popularity and prestige, so that really
they are of more importance than any
thing else. 1t is all very well for
moralists to tell us to consider the lilies
of the field. the butterfly, and all the
brightly hued birds, which are doubt
less much more beautifully arrayed
than Solomon in all the glory of his
regal robes, but if Solomon had not
worn the aforesaid robes, what a hay
seed he would have looked! And so
long as nature has not provided us
with pretty and becoming habiliments,
it seems to me that 1t is quite legiti-
mate for us to try to emulate her beau
tiful results. We can hardly give too
much thought to a subject that affects
our happiness so vitality"

Mars "CannIs."
From the Chicago News.

FTONn the 0nitdBO NeWSs
At a recent meeting of the Astron-
omical Society in London striking con-
firmnation was obtained of the view
that the "canals" in Mars are due for
the most part to an optical delusion
on the part of the observer. A draw
ing of the planet showing no canals
was placed before classes of boys at
Greenwich hospital school, and they
were required to make copies of IL.
Those placed nearest II drew no canals:
but those farther away delipeated
canals" closely resembling those OBJ
served by Schisparelli and others. It
is explained that the eye becomes hy-
preventative. by long gazing at details
which are imperfectly seen, being at
the limit of visibility, and that the re-
final blood vessels then convey i'm
pressions of canals" to the vision
center of the brain. The boys were
quite unbiased, being unacquainted
with any drawings of Mars. Probably
Mars is not inhabited, and never will
be- says a recent writer. but it very
likely has been. II is now in the state
which the earth will reach in three or
four millions Of years" When the
possibility of signaling to Mars was
under discussion a few years ago Sir
Robert Ball, the celebrated astrono-
mer, pointed out that II a flag of the
size OF Ireland was waved from a pole
10 match there was just the ghost OF a
chance that an astronomical Marian
might perceive the ghost Of a fiutter on
the earth.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHEL OR.

Tightly laced, loosely paced, says the
New York Press.
Two things a woman never can do
naturally are to smoke cigarettes and
cross her legs.
When you see a woman wearing
baby blue stockings it is a sign she
ought not to let you.
The woman who sets outtttE reform a
mans morals generally ends up by
reforming her own.
1t is better for a man to fall in love
with a woman older than he is than
never to fall in love at all.

GREAT SCHEMES.
Lord John Russell Once ProposeH
Digging Immense Hole-PIan TO
Extinguish VesuviHs.

Among great schemes may be lnclud-
ed the proposition of Hon. Rollo Russell,
a member of the British parliament, who
advocated the building of immense
walls TO increase the rainfall in. sterile
districts. The walls were to be so high
that their tops would arrest the clouds
and cause a downpour of rain, thereby
rendering fit for cultivation lands which
are now good Only for pasture or en-
tirsly improbable.
Another member of the same fam
lily, Lord John Russell. when premier OF
England, had urged upon his attention
the scheme of digging an immense hole
three miles in circumference in the CEN
ter of England 1t was to give work to
the unemployed and was to GO down so
deep that the subterranean heat pro-
duced would be sufficient to furnish mo-
tive power for all the factories in the
land.
1t has been proposed seriously several
times to put out the fires of Vesuvius by
letting in on them the waters of the
Mediterranean. The experiment has
been prevented by fear that gigantic
explosion would result which would blow
