Meeting Eyebrows.

THE person whose eyebrows meet
may rest content in the knowledge that
he is the possessor of a vigorous con-
stitution. The growth of hair above
the nose is. us a rule, fairly sound
proof Of good health. That is what the
scientists tell you. but the superstitious
have much more to say.
hn the northern part of Aberdeen
shire there is q common belief that a
CLOSE broo't' man, or one whose eye
brows meet, is foredoomed to end a
wicked career on the scaffold. This
may be compared with the view held
In parts of the English midlands that
the close browed person is destined for
fame and fortune.
On the continent there are several
superstitions on this subject The eye
brows of gypsies are often formed in
this way, a fact which they turn to
good account. for in many parts it is
believed that the owner of nesting
eyebrows is also the possessor of what
Is called the evil eye and therefore a
person whose good viii must at all
costs be retained. The gypsies, espe-
cially in Germany and Austria, use
this belief to extract considerable sums
of money from the credulous peas

An Ak to Grind.

The familiar expression, "An ak TO

min Franklin. originated with Charles
Miner, who introduced the following
tale of woe in a short, pithy essay pub
lished in country newspaper of Penn
sylvania during the year 1911: A little
boy is asked by man with an ak and
an engaging smile If his father has a
grindstone. and. the family being In
proud possession OF that implement OF
welfare. the youngster leads the way
into the back yard.
What a fine little fellow you arev'

as though scarcely conscious OF speak
ing loud. OF course the boy becomes
at once his most obedient servant and.
by more well directed praise. brings
water to whet the wheel and heroic
ally turns the grindstone until bis
small hands sting with blisters. But
the moment the ak lis ground it's owner

pride by bidding him hurry off to
school-Los Angeles Times.
