CHARACTER in FACE
READING OF THE FEATURES NOW
AN EXACT SCIENCE.
Temperament and Disposition OF In
dlviduaIs Plainly Shown, Ae.
!. ,cording to Woman Who
Has Studied Subject.

"
The face as map of character and
disposition is the subject of an elab-
crate study. by an English woman.
She holds that the reading of the fea-
lures ian be reduced to an exact
science.
There is an elaborate classification
Of eyes. Among the broad deduc-
tions is the dictum that dark eyes
Invariably indicate strong. passion
ate nature, while light blue ones show
calculating, cool and resolute char
acter.
Light brown eyes are signs of In.
telligence, fancy, -fickleness In love
and a rapidly fluctuating tempera.
ment. A sure indication Of oratorical
gift is projecting eyes and they also
betoken literary skill in the use OF
language.
A strongly developed nose Is
mark of superior endowments. The
owner Of big nose has more energy
than the owner Of small one.
The nostrils also have their sig
nificance. Large nostrils indicate
courage; little ones, cowardice. Long
narrow ones show activity and bodily
vigor. Broad nostrils opening toward
the side show a prediction for
horses.
Mouth and lips are full Of sug.
gestiveness. The man with hang.
ing underlip is apt to lack perse-
verance and concentration of pur.
pose. The modest individuals lower
lip is habitually pressed close against
the upper lip at the center.
| The chin and lower jawbone are
important indices of character. True
love is evident in face in which the
jawbone broadens clear back to the
level of the wisdom teeth. This is
true. both of men and women.
The youth who seeks an amiable
spirit in his sweetheart must choose
girl with gently curving lower
lips and full and well rounded chin;
her eyes must be. soft and brown. II
he desires great constancy. he must
look carefully to the spread of her
lover jaw. Economy is promised by q
jaw. Economy is promised by a
widening of the nose just above the
wings of the nostrils.
On the other hand, the young wom-
TN who desires an Industrious hus-
band should choose man with long
upper lip. If she desires even good
temper in her spouse, she had best
choose one with round face and curly
hair.

Monkeys and most other wild animals
deteriorate rapidly in captivity be-
cause of the deprivation of the fresh
air and sunshine to which they are
naturally adapted. Civilized, women
are almost compelled to live sedentary
lives. This fact, declares a writer in
Good Health, accounts in large degree
for the almost universal invalidism
among women.

The men and women who perish
miserably in train wrecks have the
consolation of knowing that they do
not die in vain. They suggest safe
modes of construction and running
methods. They may not, it is true,
appreciate the fact that they are pub
lie benefactors and may be selfish
enough to prefer their lives to the
glory of martyrdom, but still, human
progress must have martyrs, and If
there are not sufficient volunteers
there must be conscripts to the
cause.

water often falls within a period
of 8 months, so that in determin-
ing the size of tile and distance
of drains for understanding it
must have a capacity to remove
the excess of Water which falls
in so short a period of time.
It has been estimated that a a
inch tile drain, smooth inside and
evenly jointed and having a. fall
of / foot in a hundred will dis
pose of J inch rainfall in a day.
Where the tile drains are laid at
a depth Of 81 to 4 feet the soil
above this acts as a large sponge
to receive the rainfall and deliv-
er it to the drains.
There is great danger in lay
ing tile too shallow rather than
too deep The old method of
putting in tile l and 2 feet deep
is rapidly being replaced by the
more sensible method of deeper
drainage. 81, 4and 4a feet are
not too deep to lay the tile drains
in ordinary clay loan soils such
as we have in the lower Missis-
sippi valley.
WIDTH OF DRAINS.
The width between the drains
depends upon the nature of the
soil and the depth of the drains.
A very compact clay needs more
drains than open soils. But even
the stiffest "buckshot" or gumbo
clays may be made mellow and
dry in 2 or 3 years by drains laid
3 or 4 feet deep and 80 or 40 feet
apart. In the glacial clay soils
O. Iowa good results have been
obtained by laying the drains 13O
feet apart where they are 81 to a
feet deep and 100 feet apart for
drains 8 feet deey.
COST OF DRAINAGE.
In some sections of the Yazoo
delta there is a substratum of
sand below the surface buckshot
clay. Where the sand is not too
far below the surface it serves
the purpose of tile draining ex-
cept in the draws and low flats.
The cost of draining every
square rod will depend on the
kind of labor and the first cost of
tiling. In some states the cost
will run as high as SIP or $14 an
acre. But the increase in the
amount of crops will pay for the
drainage in a few years and the
land becomes better each year.
