H o w C h a ra cter M a y B e S tu died F r o m F ea tu re « o f th o Face. The "rain bow o f peace,” as the eye brow has been called, and tho eyelids are treated of nt considerable length us being among the most expressive, ani mated and mobile features o f the face. In fact, so highly are tlu-y extolled that one is almost forced to thiuk that a person possessed o f nothing else but a pair o f sym metrical eyebrows conld easily express his desires or his emotions, no matter how complicated these might be. High ly arched brows are said to denote vi vacity and brilliancy, hut not the powe; o f profundity that w o allied to tho more level kind. Regularly curved eyebrows are said to express eheerfnltieea; square, deep thonght: irregular, fickleness, ver satility, excitability; raised at the inn-i corner, melancholy: joined over the nose an unsettled mind. Andamantins likened individuals with thick eyebrows which met over the root o f the nose to swine. This might by some be considered actionable, but these would do w ell to remember that Auda- mantins is no more. Thick and bushy eyebrows arc supposed to denote strength and energy on the port of th »ir pos sesson, while-the contrary development Indicate» delicacy, refinement or merely weakness, which is hardly a satisfying diagnosis. A lack o f eyebrows is not considered a sign o f mental strength. The eyobrows and the eyelids w e on terms o f close intimacy, and the form of the form er is connected with the open ing o f the latter. Only in the romantic novel are black eyes to be found. By those who have stndied the question deeply fonr primary shades o f color are recognized. These are brown, green, bine and gray, and each o f these has five tones. It is considered a somewhat singulw fact that the rarest o f all noses is that found in the middle o f the face, and tak ing 100 noses at random one will not find on on an average more than three In which the bridge o f the nose descends perpendicularly from a straight line drawn exactly between the eye*. A well proportioned nose, according to moet au thorities. should take up one-third o f the profile, measured from the commence ment o f the hair to the tip o f the chin. Napoleon used to say that a long nose meant a long head: therefore the longest headed clnb In Loudon should have been that whose members were elected for the length o f their noses, the chairman hav ing the longest nose and the hall porter none. A long nose is generally consid ered the mental superior o f a short on». Hogarth classified noses as sngnlw , aquiline or Roman, parrot beak, bulbous or bottle, straight or Grecian, turned up and snnb. Other kinds, which may be added or not according to taste, are mixed and broken. An unduly red nose dose not necessarily indicate that the wearer is a toper. It may be doe to tight lacing, indigestion or emotionality o f temperament. There w e also other ways o f explaining the trouble. The smile is purely human, as brutes are un able to elevate or depress the corners of the month as a means o f expression. As is the case with almost every other fea ture o f the faoe, physiognomists are found who claim that the lips w e o f all features the most susceptible o f action and the moet direct indice» o f the feel ings. These champion» o f the month maintain that every shade o f feeling can be described by the lip » with more facility than by any other feature.- Pall H a ll Budget A f t e r D o * C o n a ld era tlo o .

The builder has alw ays been ashamed to toll what it did cost, but the lowest snm named by experts Is |126,000. The grounds are arranged quite aa fancifully as the residence, and yet the general e f fect is fine. In front Mr. Emmet had a little lake constructed, fed by a brook which runs from an adjacent ravine, and on this he placed a gondola imported from Venice regardless o f expense. A t the entrance o f the gTonuds is a lodge in the English style. T o the right o f the house is a stately windm ill, and to the rear is a fine barn o f a composite architecture fairly- rivalin g that o f the house.

Interiorly the house abounds in three cornered rooms and other Em met oddities, bat is a delightful place to live In for all that. The new residence which Senator Fas sett is bnildiug is a mnch less dazzling affair, hut has one great advantage over Governor Hill's, in that it w ill bold a charming w ife and daughter and a squad o f lively and grow ing boys.
