THE STUDY OF FACES. A Science Which Is Utaiinhle of Ileitis: lie flucml tit Fliril Itttlra. Rovorond John Kaspar Lavator, a clt lxon of Zurich, was tho first to provo that physiognomy is a science, which can bo reduced to fixed rules. In a series of rotnarknblo essays, with many Illustrations, ho claims tho possibility of a complete systom, mental states bo Ing revealed by tho occipital muscle, and tho rectus superior of tho oyo. Lavator was inspired with a ponulno love for tho scionco, ranking no study highor, sinco ho says, "What a ray of divinity in that countonancol Evory thing declares it to ho a copy after a Divino Original." Lavator hlmsolf is large-minded, making many concessions and finding in "sotno facos, which bo long to chamoloon-souls, tho possibili ties of what mon might and ought to be." Zopyrus, detecting brutal quali ties in tho face of Socrates, was con firmed in his statcmont by tho philoso pher himself, wo read, as ho admitted that such hud indeed boon his traits in early life, but that, by effort ho eradi cated them. Lavator instances many woll-known facos, among othors that of Clcoro, which ho characterizes as "lumi nous and intelligent," that of Plato in which ho finds "wisdom almost divino," and Brutus, in which ho sees "unshakon flrmnoss." "Wisdom and probity" aro cloar to him in Marcus Aurolius, and ho discovers tho "fathor of poets" in Homer's countonanco. "I havo soon a criminal with a faco lllto ono of Guide's angels," says ono author. To this La ator woll roplios that "a man born with happy disposition with delicate and ir ritable floors, may plungo into crime, and yot bo bottor than a hundrud others, who pass for good, and who aro incapable of excess." l'oots, in all agos and coun trios, bavo boon bollovors in physiog nomy. Lotus tako testimony from thorn. Ilordor Bpeaku of tho oyos as "windows of thououl." Shakospoaro says, "there's mo art to find tho mind's construction in tho faco." Milton and Urydon aro of tho samo mind, as tho fortnor says, "cruel his oyo," and tho latter sees 'counsel" in tho human countonanco. "Manly majosty sato in his front, and darted from his oyes, commanding all !ho vlowod," wo road In CEdlpus. Aris totlo, and in modorn times our own Ktn arson, porcolvod in human countonances traits rosembling tho bruto creation. Coarsonoss, cruelty, vanity and shallow ness botruy thomsolves, while rellno mont, culture, klndnoss, tho spiritual life will transform tho most ordinary features. Lavator bucamo so skilled, laftor years of study, that ho could dis tinguish tho farmers from ono part of England from thoso of anothor, moroly by observation of tho differences in tholr facos. Tho modern student will find this sclonoo a fascinating ono. Tho profiles of Danto, Savonarola and Ooorgo KHot rosomhlo each other. In the facos of Shakospoaro and Hums tho forohond and oyos oxpross lofty intolllgonco com blnod with pootlc sonslbility. In Shol .loy's broad brow and feminine beauty wo rocognlzo tho rare and sonsitlvo spirit that dwelt within, ovon as soon in tho countonanco of our own beloved Haw thorne. Had Cleopatra's noso'boon of a different shape, says ono writer, tho for tunes of tho world would havo been changed. Tho beauty of Union was tho causo of the Trojan war. Tho faco of Mary of Scotland won for hor many frlonds, and made tho Ill-favored Queen of JSngland hor llfo-long and vlndlotlvo foo. Anna Olcott Comiuolln, in Opon Court. JACK'S COiLY RIDE. " jAn Kngllih Tar Moiium tlin llrouxe Htooil of IVter the Orotit. Among tho h6st famous "sights" of St, Petersburg is a lino equestrian statuo in bronze of its renowned creator, l'oter tho Croat. Tho figure which stands on tho loft bank of tho Nova, opposito tho Senato House is appropriately mounted on a hugo block of grey granite iron. East Finland, whloh was ono of Potor's first conquests. Tho groat Czar :1s roprosented as sitting oreot on a rear ing horse, and pointing with his right hand to the spot on tho opposito bank where he built with his own hands in 1704 tho first house of his now capital, while bouoatu his horse's hoofs lies crushed tho serpont that typifies the grovelling ignorance and superstition which lmpodod his grand designs. Now, It happened that ono cold autumn night an English sailor, who had just lauded from a nowly arrived cargo steamer, was strolling back across tho Senato IIoUBO-squaro, and, as his ill-luck would bavo it, stopped to tako a passing look at tho lmporlal statuo. "Woll, if that's tho thing thoy mako suoh a fuss about, I don't think muoh of It!" oriod Jack, dis dainfully. "It's nothing ltko bo big as I thought it was. Why; l could ollinb to tho top of it mysolf; and I will, too." No sooner said than done. Ovor tho railings wont bold Jack, and, olawing his way nimbly up tho roughonod surfaoo of tho granite pedestal, ho suecoodtulin clutch ing drat tho tall of tho serpent and then that of tho horso, and found hlmsolf In a trlco astride of tholatUir, oloso behind tbo bronze figure of tho Czar. So far so good, but just at that critical moment tho moon clouded ovor, and poor Jack could not too how on oarth to got down again. What was to bo dono? To stay whoro ho was perched on that cold bronzo, would bo llttlo bottor than Bill cldo on such a bitter night To desound would bo to risk broaklng his nook or limbs; and to call tor help would de liver him ot onoo Into tho hands of tho police. Hut tho question was unexpect edly sottlod for him. Ills muttered ex clamations ot dismay caught tho quick ears ot a passing patrol, who at onco turned their lanterns upon tbo monu ment, whonco tho Bounds appoared to Usuo, and, discovering Master Jack In bis olavatod position, promptly Hont for laddor and hauled him down. Anight la the tehatt (police look-up) rewarded eur hero's exploit, and tho noxt morn ing a stern-faood Profoct of Pol loo sen tenced him to a lino which loft poor Jaok'B pockets as empty as his head, alleaclBg the culprit' "remonstrances by aaylng, with grim Btullo "If you will riie with the Gear, lay friend, you must expect to pay high tor a mount-" Cat all'f SaUraa JeuraoL AN EIDER-DUCK FARM. IIow the Fnrnipr llii.iyi the Confidence of the Truntlng lllril. Tho colonies of breeding oldors often consist of an immonso number of birds, and tho nosta Ho so thickly togethor that it Is often difficult to avoid stopping Into thorn. Thoy aro usually placed at somo slight clovation; and horo in a faint depression tho duck collects a small quantity of soawoed and drift stuff, wh ch sho forms into a folty mass with hor breast Upon this four or fivo eggs aro laid in tbo courso of a week, thoso being of a palo groon color, and rather rosombllng thoso of tho boron. Even boforo the last egg is laid it is scon that a fow fcathors aro scattered about tho nest, and as incubation pro ceeds thoso Increase in quantity. Tho bird covors tho eggs with down pluoked from hor broast and this sho doos day by day until a very considerable quant ity biirlos tho eggs. It is this down which has becomo such an Important article of commerce. If tho ciders aro hatching undor ordinary conditions, tho young appear in about twenty-six days, nnd almost immediately botako thomsolves to tho water. It is horo that thoy sun themselves, food and sloop. On a rock-bound bit of coast it is interesting to watch tho ducklings paddling among tho stones and feeding upon tho tiny bivalves that aro common among tho bays and inlots. Those re marks refer to tho brooding of wild oldors; but unfortunately colonlo3 of birds undor natural conditions aro bo coming moro and more raro ovory year. Tho commorclal collector has ovory whoro stopped In, nnd Is putting a tor rlblo drain upon tho species. In Norway this bird Is protected by law, though only to bo persecuted tho moro porslstontly by prlvato Individu als. On ono island, that of Isufjardar jup, oidor ducks are said to nost In thou sands. Spoaklng of tho breeding sights by tho shoio Mr. Sliophord, who visited tho colony, tolls us that tho brown ducks fiat upon tholr nosts In masses, and ut ovory stop started from bonoath bis foot On this Island, of throo-quar-tors of a milo In length, It was difficult to walk without stopping Into tho nosts. A thick stono breakwater ran along its coasts just abovo high wator mark. At tho bottom and sldos of tho wall alternate stones had boon loft out so as to form a sorles of comnartmonts for tho ducks to nost in. Evory compartmontl was tenanted, and as tho visitors walked along tho ducks flow out nil along tho lino. Thoso wore wolcomod by tho whlto drakes, which wore tossing on tho wator "with loud and clamorous cooing." A farm houso on tho island was tonantod in a llko manuor. Tho houso itself was "a great marvol." Ducks were hatching on tho turf walls which surrounded It, in tho window em brasures, on tho ground, on tho roof. Tho houso was fringed with ducks, and a duck sat in tho eorapor. Thon a grassy bank oloso by was out into squares, ovory ono of which was occu pied. A windmill was packed, as was ovory nvullnblo object on tho Island mounds, rocks, crovlcos. This was an oldor-down farm. So tamo woro tho ducks as to allow tho farmer's wlfo to stroko them as thoy sat on tholr nests. Of courso there Is nnothor sldo to this ploasant p'roturo, as wo soo whon wo loam how tho "good lady" of tho Island repays tho conlldonco of tho birds. And hero It Is by an other obsorvor: "Tho older down Is easily collected, as tho birds aro qulto tamo. Tho female having laid fivo or Blx palo, groonlsh-ollvo oggs, In a nost thickly lined with hor boautlful down, tho' colloctors, nttor carefully removing tho bird, rob tho v t of Its contents, aftor whloh thoy roplnco hor. Sho thon oiity ihroo or four oggs find again has rocourso to tho down on hor body. Hut hor groody porsooutors onco moro rlllo hor nost nnd obllgo hor to lino It for tho third tlmo. Now, howovor, hor own Btook of down Is oxhausted, and with a plalntlvo volco sho calls hor mato to hor asslstanoo, who willingly pluoks tho soft fonthors from his broast to supply tho deficiency. I f tho cruol rohbory bo again ropontod, which In former time was fre quently tho case, tho poor older duck abandons tho spot never to return, and Books for a now homo whoro she may Indulge hor maternal Instlnot undis turbed by tho uvarlco of num."

If wo work hard with brain or muscle, using up a groat doal ot force, nature goes to work In tho hours ot re cuperation to build tho brain and tho urn solo a llttlo strongor than it was bo foro, bo ovory day's oxpondlturo will re quire tho assimilation ot a llttlo moro food.
