tions and Temperarnents.

The eyebrows, declares q German
character reader, tell us far more
about the true inwardness of our dis
positions and temperaments than all
the rest of the body. Study the eye
brow formation of your friends and
you will find that where the indica-
lions are similar like personal char
acterfstics will declare themselves,
says the New York World. Thus you
will discover that the highly arched
eyebrow denotes q sensitive tempera-
ment, although, contrary to the gener-
al opinion, they do not always adorn
persons OF superior intelligence Thin
eyebrows invariably show a lack Of
vitality and those OF the thick and
nushy variety indicate the existence
In their possessors of highly vital
lied temperament together with great
powers of bodily endurance. In wom-
en- they denote unusual powers of
bodily and mental stamina.
When the eyebrows meet, says our
German friend, you may be certain
that sincere character is expressed,
though here 1t is interesting to re-
Soii' ihSiuShldlly, ludL every character
reader since the days of Aristotle has
declared that such eyebrows indicate,
unquestionably, a peevish disposition.
Long, dropping eyebrows, wide apart
on the forehead, indicate a joyous dis
position and general amiability. If
the eyebrows are more light-colored
than the hair Of the head, q distinctly
weak vitality is denoted. Lightly
marked eyebrows, which lie high
above the nose, show disposition
toward Incidence and a general weak
ness Of character. Dark eyebrows,
which lend so strong and energetic an
expression to the whole face, are in
dicative of patience.
Rarely will you find in persons of
sharp intellect eyebrows Of light col
or, although the color does not count
so much as the shape. Red eyebrows
invariably indicate considerable ambi-
ton. The average eyebrow is a com.

Love the Bow, on LIE. Cloud.

wv VIC Dow on LnS'S CiOuo.
Love Is the only bow on ife's dark
cloud. 1t IS the morning and evening
star. 1t shines on tue babe. and sheds
It's radiance on the quiet tomb. It is
the mother Of art. inspirer of poet,
patriot and philosopher. It is the air
and light of every heart, builder Of
every home, kinder OF every fire ON
the hearth, it was the first dress Of i'm
mortality. 1t fills the world with mel
ody, for music is the voice OF love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter
that changes worthless things to Joy,
and makes right royal queens and
kings OF common clay. 1t is the per-
fume Of that wonderful flower, the
heart, and without that sacred passion,
that divine swoon, we are less than
beasts, but with it-earth is heaven
and we are gods.-The late Col. Rob
