1t would be we'll for all of rs to study
and work upon these if we wish to learn
how TO tell character. There are certain
broad lines that all we'll known writer's
Of standard works go upon and these
apply alike TO every individual who pos
sesses them One often reads OF the
benevolent gentleman with the full
round chin and benign expression. Now
the chin is the seat of the atfectlons
thus, benevolence and geniality are de-
picted by the full round chin.
The eyes and forehead denote intellect
the nose effectiveness and energy, and
the mouth and chin are the interpreters
OF the passions, sympathies, and attec-
tiOns.

deep set; their color is also an indica-
ton; besides various other signs too nu-
merOuS to mention. One reads of the
cunning villain with eyes close together
like a fox, and the honest, straightfOr-
ward hero with eyes wide apart and
broad, open brow.
The cold. steely gray eye and the 10y

loose, weak lips are also Illustrations
| that are being continuously brought to
our notice. According to its size. height
and shape do we judge or read char
acter.
Noses with high bridges, like the Duke
OF Wellington's, Indicate great executive
power and love OF command. That nose
Is mostly seen in people who have gone
out into the world, become leaders of
men, and taken others along with them.
Gen Booth has the commanders nose,
and so had Napoleon /.
Long, dropping noses Indicate suspi-
cion and reserve, whilst short. tip-tiltel
noses show pertness and impudence. The
straight Grecian nose is a sign of refine
ment and artistic tastes.
Noses that are wide at the tip suggest
a trusting and c0nfding nature. Large
nOStrlls denote courage; small nOstriIs
show fear; nostrils which run up the
front Of the nose indicate cOarSeneSS Of
tastes; they resemble those of pig.
When the nose juts out long way
from the face it denotes inquisitiveness,
and seems to be p0iling Itself into other
peoples business. Curved wings to the
nostrils suggest pride and independence.
Noses that are thin at the bridge 81. w

to save. \ wide bridge to the nose
means economy and carefulneSs over
money matters bordering on meanness;

lips, would show ayarice and miserly III
StinctS.
This is indicated chiefly by the manner
in which they are placed in their sockets,
whether prominent or deep set, straight
or obique. Deep set eyes denote more
ShreWdness and keennesS of observation
than prominent ones.
Prominent eyes suggest eloquence. Per
sons with prominent eyes are ready
speakers and writer's. The full eye is
often seen in musicians. The larger the
pupil of the eye the clearer the intellect
and the quicker the powers of compre-
hension. People who show the whites
above and below the pupils of the eye
are generally restless and half simple. 1t
is known as the stupid eye"
There is more intensity and passion in
dark eyes, whereas gray or light blue
eyes are calculating, cool, and more pre-
else.
Straight eyebrows denote the mascu-
line element of character. Arched eye
broWs show a softer and more feminine
temperament. Eyebrows which jut down
into the nose in Il Mephistopheean man
ner indicate the faculty of untruth; they
are called the lying eyebrows" and are
often seen in the Chinese a nation not
particularly noted for veracity.
Large lips always denote greater ca
pacity with regard to taste than narrow
or linear ones. Sympathy, philanthropy,
and benevolcnce are indicated by the
width of the red part of the underlip at
the angles of the mouth.
All disproportOn between the under
and the upper lip outward is a sign of
folly or wicEednPss Projecting under
jaws, when accompanied by a recedng
forehead, imply stupidity and Grim
inality.
Wide chins Indicate permanency and
fidelity. Narrow chins denote fickleness
ana the cratic tendencies.
Wil-poWcr and determination are
shown by the length of the jaw down
ward from he ear, before it turns in its
angle - for the chin.
