Character Sho10n by the EpeS

\ muddy tinge to the white of the
eye Indicates a heavy nature. Too large
an expanse of white, in humans as in
horses, is a sign of a bad temper
When the white can be seen as a
setting to the iris the person is erratic,
with sometimes a tendency TO insanity.
Nobility of character is shown when
the whites shows beneath the iris; and
If the upper eye lid droops partly over
the pupil. it is a sign of mental ability.
Deep set eyes indicate a melancholy
and morose person, while prOtruding
ewes denote a selfish nature
Eyes that are too close together de-
note jealousy, and fault-tinding, while
the opposite adjustment denotes broad
intelligence and a tenacious memory.
Exaggerated breadth, however, is a sign
OF stupidity.
Wide open. staring, round eyes mark
the mind that does not develop, but is
bound up in bigotry, intolerance, and all
forms of narrow conceit.
Gray eyes denote intellect and well
balanced character. they indicate unsel-
nshness, a strict sense of justice and
talent.
Brown and hazel eyes are as rule,
affectionate, gentle. intelligent. and
courageous. Nothing good is said OF
the black eyes.
Blue eyes are loving and ardent, but
not intellectual Very light blue eyes
are Indicative of cunning and cruelty.
