TOLD BY, THE EYE.
"lndex of the Soul" Reveals True
 Character.
To the Initiated, the Human Eye De- notes the Workings of the Con- seIous and SubconseIous Mind,
 as Nothing Else Can.

The eye has been called "the index of the soul" and with much truth. Yet how often Is 1t consulted, and how many of us have sufficient knowl- edge to enable us to read 1t arightf
 In these days of unsolved crime mysteries, ability to read the charac- ter more or less accurately from the eyes Is a possession worth having, as- serts London Answers. And this knowledge is not mere guesswork; it is based on scientific facts and com parisons.
 Science has brought out facts show ing that human eyes, like those of animals, denote the working of the conscience and subconscious mind. Perpetrators of recent murders, if placed side by side, would provide useful information to the psychologist and Scotland Yard.
 Eyes cannot be influenced in coior by the mind. Dark, flashing eyes can not be made blue, any more than the alcoholic can show eyes like the ab- stainer. A patient consulting his doc tor may not think his illness can be diagnosed by his eyes, yet 1t Is useless for him to say he sleeps soundly when his eyes show the contrary.
 Looking at the eyes of people you know, the following characteristics will be found almost invariably: Tn man. round blue eyes denote a good temper, easy going, free with strangers and friends. If the eye brows do not meet in the middle, hs is free from criminal instinct, but sub ject to minor crime through his feel ings for others.
 If blue be tinged with gray. perse- verance and strength of moral char acter must be added. He keeps his word, but does not forget an injury. This type of eye suggests sleepiness. but in reality, denotes a fertile brain and retentive memory, a strong con- stitution, capable of hardship, yet re- taining an active mind.
 Lucky are women with blue eyes They are sweet tempered. If married they will prove amiability itself, and- fond of children. their sphere is ip the house, or the finer work of the drawing-room.
 Gray eyes are ascribed to officers of rank. politicians, and judges. Gray eyes are stern and commanding, show ing a forceful and dominant will, with great powers of persuasion. -
 If the eyes be full and prominent with a giassy appearance, the opposite is found; this type Is not reliable, can not stand a strain, is never forceful, perhaps a good workman, but useless as a master. The owner of such an eye Is usually an egotist, not liking people who held different views. With out being inclined to crime, he lacks determlnafion. [
 A little study soon defines the crimi- nal eye, which will not look anybody straight in the face, fiickering with what is known as a furtive glance; when doing this, he calculates his chances of success.
 In ladies, gray eyes are not an as- set For beauty or love, blue, black or hazel have the preference old maids and man haters usually pns- sess gray eyes, which. however often denote fixity of purpose and noble ness of character. Women criminals have the deepset eye showing they can premeditate crime and having a. strongf fmind can keep a secret.
 Dark eyed people are consldered' handsome and attractive. Tn the man. 1t amounts to magnetism, the hyp- notist being in this class. Such eyes denote a determination to go through at all cost; their owners love with a mad passion. The woman in this class is jealous before marriage; after, She will ruin anybody who tries to come between them, She delights in children and dress. Dark eyes are not stronger than other colors, as is com monly supposed.
 The next study requires care, to- judge, or mistakes will result This fs the small, black. beady eye, set deep in the head, never seeming to be prop erly open. This type of man or wom- an bllnks and turns away when looked at, as If to conceal what they fear can be read from their eyes.
 This Is the criminal eye, and de~ notes cunning, greed, vice and deceit; no feeling for others. This is the person to avoid at all times, for though he may not have any intention. of evil, he lacks only the opportunity.
 The true hazel eye is seldom seen: This denotes. in both sexes, imagina- tion, fickleness in love, fondness of pleasure, and no desire to rise in the world. Owners of hazel eyes have no criminal instincts, their tongue being their most dangerous weapon.
