BEATING THE EYES. WHAT MAY BE SEEN IN THE "WIN DOWS OF THE SOUL." Their Indications as to Character Arc, as a Rale, itemarlvaisly Ac curate-Detectives Spot thc Liar by a Little Trick of I5is Optics. . . It is little realized in how many things eyes betray their owner. Many people without at all professing to be physiognomists frequently are lcd to form opinions about their neighbors by purely physiognomical signs. We often hear a man say: "That man Jones is the biggest fool in town. He has the most foolish, expressionless, bovine pair of eyes I've ever seen." Young parents in particular are fond of plan ning bright futures for their children, basing their judgment entirely "on a most wonderfully intelligent look in our baby Joe's eyes." The proud moth er will add, "I am sure he'll some day be a great poet." Men, more sensibly, will be led in .their business dealings by opinions formed in just this way. Few indeed will be found inexperienced enough to repose any confidence in a man having a pair of round, shifting eyes, closely set together in the head and usually accompanied by a pair of narrow, slop ing shoulders. This is the make tip of \a typical sneak thief. But a man not {knowing this will still say: "I don't Bike his looks. He looks too slippery fort me." When the average man. however, ? having some secret conviction that he i Is a bora physiognomist, tries to form j positive judgments about people by ; mere individual signs, bc is likely to j err sadly. Many a naturally gifted or- j ator has been pronounced by such a judge as a man given over to dissipa- ! tion because his full, prominent, sau cerlike eye bears some resemblance to an eye full by dissipation. The latter case, however, is easily distinguisha ble. Physical pleasure has a tendency to draw up the lower eyelid as though to half close the eye. It soon becomes thicker, fleshier and remains pressed up against the eye like a soft cushion, giving this appearance of fullness to the eye, the sign for fluency and great command of language. v Undoubtedly much is told about us by our eyes. Dogs and children have been called natural physiognomists. A dog sometimes will refuse any caresses or cubits from some stranger and slink . off. but will run up to another man equally as strange to him. wagging his tail, and begin to lick bis hand. Chil dren also know well who will grant their request and who will refuse gruff ly. A 7-year-old boy who went up to a stranger to ask him to do something, when asked why he went to that man when his uncle was by. answered, "Well, because the man had 'yes' writ ten in his eyes." Many professions'apply some trait or other of the human eye to their own particular use. Surgeons and dentists, remembering that some of the most delicate nerves of the human body are \in the eye, when giving anaesthetics judge by his eye when the patient is sufficiently under the Influence of thc drug. They lift the upper eyelid and feel the eyeball with their finger. When the eyeball no longer answers to the touch of the finger, the surgeon feels assured that the patient, ls sufficiently oblivious to the influence of the outer world for him to begin operations. So. likewise, many forms of poisoning can be told by the condition in which the eye is found. Habitual use of drugs, like laudanum, opium, etc.. bas a marked effect on the eye, and the un naturally distended pupil of victims to the influence of such drugs easily "gives them away." * But the most interesting ol' tbe eye's "give aways" is its use as an effective ' d?tecter of double dealing. A private detective, in a discussion as to how far the eye can be dependen upon to detect falsehood, says: "It is sometimes pretty hard to tell from the manner of a smart, fluent talker whether he ls telling the truth or not. Of course in the case of an unskillful, amateur liar the thing is simple. Even the average rnan, who usually is a pretty poor observer, can determine for himself whether the man lies, for the would be prevaricator usually takes good care to betray him self. He involuntarily seeks to avoid meeting the eyes of his intended vic tim by averting his face and shifting his eyes. He no more can retrain from acting in bis suspicious manner than can a man look straight at some bright light after staying in a dark room for some time. The action of both in avoiding to look at a thing too strong for the delicate nerves of the eye is instinctive and Involuntary. But the liar of sufficient practice can acquire enough self control to refrain from showing these telltale signs. "To detect falsehood in cases of this kind we employ a delicate test, which, in the hands of a clever man. is infalli ble. We call it the 'eye test.' The sharp detective puts a sudden, direct question to the crook which admits of no equivocal reply and which goes to the root of the matter. As the man tries to answer the detective steadily looks into the pupils of his eyes and carefully observes any changes or movements of the iris. Should the man lie in answering, it will be shown by the muscular twitching of the eye, as if trying to make the aperture of the eye smaller. This is the same movement as results in trying to avoid too strong a light. The eye thus seems to be equally susceptible to beams of truth and to ben ms of light."-New York Prc ss.

Drummer Garries a Ci-7.il Watch aa a SccvcnSr <:? ilia Dceii. "This watch was part of thu spoils cf burglary iii which i participated in j 31," said a guest in the St. Charles lobby to a reporter, drawing out a handsome gold timepiece with a curi ous spiral pattern engraved in heavy relief on the lid. "It was my first af fair of the kind, and I regret to say 1 bungled it and got caught almost im mediately. What is the joke, did you ask? There is no joke; it is perfectly true, lt happened like this: "In the fall of ISSI, when I was quite young and green. I got a job travel ing for a Chicago grocery house, and one of the first places I visited was a small town in northern Ohio. I arriv ed about ll at night and went out to take a stroll and smoke a cigar before going to bed. Passing through a side street, I noticed -a light in the little jewelry store and also that the dcor was ajar. That reminded me I had recently broken the mainspring of my watch, and I sauntered in to leave it for repair. "As I entered a young man arose from the further end of the counter. He seemed startled, which was not un natural at such a late call, but lie re gained his composure while I explain ed the purpose of my visit and told me he had closed some hours before, but happened to remember some things that had been left out of the safe and returned to put them back. When I handed him my watch, I asked him to lend me another to wear in the mean time, and he gave me ono at random from a tray on the counter. This is it on my chain now. j "Next morning," continued the story teller, "I was lounging in tho hotel of ! fice, when the town marshal tapped me j on the shoulder. j " 'Let me see your watch,' he said, i "I pulled it out mechanically and was at once placed under arrest on the j charge of robbing the jewelry store. It j seemed that it had been burglarized : during the night, and somebody in the I hotel had noticed my peculiar looking ; watch and reported it to the police. It i was promptly identified as part of the j stolen goods, and, needless to say, my j story as to its acquisition was laughed ; to scorn. I was obliged to admit that it j seemed a little gauzy myself, abd I i can't say I blame the authorities for j declining to give it credence. I "At any rate, I found myself in the i deuce of a fix. My old watch had been . carried off by the thief, and there was absolutely nothing to confirm my state I ment except the bare fact that none of ; the other goods was found in my pos session. That, howev?r, went for very ; little, for it was argued that I had had ; abundant time to conceal my plunder. In my agitation and excitement I must ; have presented a perfect picture of ; guilt, and the townspeople came near < mobbing me on the way to jail. They ! kept me there for exactly three hours, the agony of which will dwell with me if I live to be a hundred. ! "Meanwhile the sure enough burglar ; had been bagged in an adjoining town : with all the loot, including my time piece, in his valise, and when I was : finally released he was bundled into my cell. If he hadn't been caught, I don't know what might have happened. I don't like to think about it. The au thorities made groveling apologies, and the jeweler was especially abject. To placate me he offered to let me keep the new watch in exchange for my old one, and I accepted the proposition. I car ry it as a sort of tragic-comic sou venir."-New Orleans Times-Democrat. It Was Dewey's Treat. "In 1SSG." said Colonel Frank Small, advance agent for a theatrical compa ny. "I was in Washington with Rose Coghlan, playing at what was then Albaugh's Opera House. One after noon I was in the box office chinning with the ticket manipulator and watch ing the matinee girls when "three ladies came in, followed by 100 children, boys ; and girls. "One of the ladies stepped up to the ! window and said, 'We have just an even 100 children here and here is a check for $25 to pay for the tickets for them.' She handed in a check signed by George Dewey, and the tickets were passed out to the lady. The happy youngsters were soon enjoying the play. . "I didn't know George Dewey from Adam's off ox, and I asked the ticket man who he was. He told me that Mr. Dewey was a navy officer aud that it was not the first time he had handled his checks in that way; that once each season anyway the children from some of the several orphan asylums were given such treats by the gentle man, but that he seldom attended a performance himself." - St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Animals That Coast. "In India, where I was a cornet of her majesty's hussars, I gave a good deal of attention to elephants," said Murray Garde the other night. "What particularly interested me was the bold, original method an elephant lias of getting down a hill when the gradi ent is too steep for walking.

Terri??etl by iTie ind?n Rabber r?cy ai?t? the ::a:i. A person who has hail many years' experience in hospitals was speaking the other day to a number of men in terestcd in medical affairs about hu man freaks. ? "Do you know Hint thc greatest hu ! nmn freaks in the country-in fact, in ; tbe world," exclaimed ibo speaker, I "have never been exhibited in a mu j scum or numbered among a circus' at j tractions? Have you ever heard of the j india rubber boy or the negro whose heart was on his right side or the man with a voice like a locomotive whistle? rerhaps you have beard of at least the last great persona ge. They were real ly 'great personages' in their own esti mation and seemed to be glad that they were f rea les." None of the listeners had ever seen or heard of the freaks. "Don't think for a moment that the india rubber boy was made of rubber," continued the speaker, "or that ho could twist himself into a knot. Ile looked like a schoolboy. He suffered from some form of epilepsy, and when he had a fit he would bounce up and down. That's why they called him the india rubber boy." "Hov/ high did bc bounce?" was ask ed. "I think about six feet. Some people j said that he sometimes bounced higu ! er, but I doubt it." j "Did he have any control over him i self when ho had a fit?" j "No. He never knew when or where ! he would be stricken, and every time ! he simply bounced until he became ex ! hausted or unconscious, j "The india rubber boy and the man : with the voice like a locomotive whis ! tie one time nearly frightened to deatb : a night clerk of a local hospital. A i young physician made a tour of the j country some years ago exhibiting to j medical associations the india rubber j boy and the man with the peculiar j voice. This physician took delight in ; having fun at the expense of his j friends. He was well acquainted with ! the night clerk, and lie selected him as I a victim for one of his pranks. One ! night, after he had exhibited Iiis freaks ! before a medical society in this city, j the physician called at the hospital to I see the night clerk. After talking with j the clerk a few minutes he left the j freaks seated near a desk at which the j clerk was at work and went into an ad I joining room to await developments, j The physician had some doubt about j I his plan being successful, as the man j j with the extraordinary voice would | I only make a noise like a locomotive j ? whistle when under great excitement, j ! The man, however, did what was ex- ! ? pected of him. ' i j "Several times the clerk stopped J j work to glance at his visitors, but their ; j action did not arouse his suspicions, j j Soon the india rubber boy's teeth be- I 1 gan to chatter, and the lad assumed a ! j crouching attitude. He was preparing to spring. The clerk saw the crouch ing form in front of his desk and reached for a stick on a nail at one end of his desk. As the clerk grasped the stick the boy bounded upward and . came down on his feet, only to shoot ! upward again. The '?rk raised the stick as though he intended to hit the boy with it. and then the man who could make sounds resembling a loco motive whistle became excited and j sounded a shrill blast His voice would j have terrified any one. The noise made j by the man and the boy bounding up I and down in front of the desk was too ? much for the clerk. He rushed from j the room and sounded a call for help. I All the male orderlies responded to the ? call, and for a time there was great cx j citement in the place. The physician ; restored order by making an explana j tion, but the clerk never spoke to him 1 again."-New York Tribune. ?'OSCII'H Mild Wny. i Ibsen, declares M.

The consul died quite lately in the odor of sanctity, and aft er Lis death tho coins were sold by auction. It cannot be said that any legation was in those days (not so very long ago) wholly free from such malprac tices, though I have cited an extreme case.

Keeping; Sheep. It has always boca a tolerably well fixed opinion with us that every farm er should keep a few sheep, regardless of the price of wool or the state of the mutton market. The sheep is one of the best kinds of stock for saving feed on the farm that would otherwise go to waste. No other stock will con sumo so large a variety of the com moner products of the farm and con vert them into a marketable shape more readily. No class of stock can be turned out so carly in the spring or left out so late in the fall and still do well. No class of stock can make as good use of those rough, broken pieces of land that are found on every farm, which aro perfectly useless for every purpose unless a few sheep are kept. No animal is so good a weeder or will keep pasture lauds so free from plants out of place as the sheep. No animal will do so well on pasture alone dur ing the pasture season and on light feeding in winter provided they be well sheltered from stormi. No ani mals enrich the fields on which they graze to so great au extent or so com pletely give back to them all that they take, and no animal furnishes so relia ble a source for the fa-m supply of summer meat.-"Modern Sheep," by F. D. Coburn. J Twelfth Centnry Manners. According to twelfth century man ners, it was considered more than rude i for any one, man or woman, to look I aimlessly into space or gaze at the sky ! for any length of time, and staring about in the street or in church was ' considered especially impolite. People j who desired to be considered well j brought up were enjoined not to wave . their hands about in the air and not j to place their hands upon the head or ? shoulders of any distinguished person ! age. When standing, both men and wom en were exhorted to place one hand over the other near +ue waist. A well bred woman, also, when walking out of doors, had to place the thumb of the left hand in the buckle or string by which her cloak was fastened under her neck, while with the two fingers j of the right hand she kept the cloak ? closed. "When on horseback, men were en I joined not to look at their legs* but ' straight over the horse's head. In a '? book of thc twelfth century we read of a model young woman who "walked ; nicely and did not look around. She i did not speak to her mother nor greet 1 her father, neither would she look at I man or woman." An Ungallant Comparison. The Duke and Duchess of Con naught, on visit, to Egypt, met with several humorous experiences. One of them shows that even the Egyptians are not free from an unhappy weak ness for saying just the wrong thing at a critical moment. After au inspection of the troops by i the duke outside of Omdurman, tc ; which the duchess had accompanied j him on horseback, the girths of bei i saddle suddenly gave way. There was j no way of repairing them, and to cu I able her royal highness to get bads with the least possible inconvenience ; a sort of sedan chair was improvised ' from a gun carriage. On this she wai I carried bj Egyptian gunners, whe j were in charge of a native officer. On the way Hie duchess said, "I hopi I your men will not be tired after car j rying me," and was surprised ant amused to receive the ungallant reply: "Indeed, no, madam; you are ut j heavier than the gnu they are accus ! tomed to carry!" Conr.iuVruble Appreciation. "Some weeks ago." says the Memphis Scimitar, "a young man left a sinai package at thc home of a young worn an upon whom ho was making his firs! call. She wrote him a note telling bin he had left it. Ile wrote her one tell ing her it was some edibles and thai she might appropriate^ it to her owl usc. She wrote again to express hei appreciation.

For salo by all druggists Suicide (if ii :)(,% Thc Italian papers report that a dog committed suicide the other day in the Lake of Como. Eic was deter mined to end his life, for a man pull ed him out when the big dog was half drowned, and drove liim away fro in the waler. Thc dog was very handsome, and thc man had been admiring him, as thc anima! stood gazing into the water. To sec what further might happen the spectator returned to the lake's brink, and soon the dog was back again and in thc water, his head resolutely held beneath thc surface. Again his admirer pulled him to shore, and made him run ott inland, thc man returning to his post of observation, whence later he heard a distant splash and recognized the dog's back. Thc poor fellow was swimming fast away from shore, his head as before, held under the water. His rescuer jumped into a boat and pulled hard for thc spot where the dog was strug gling, but was to his sorrow, too late. Thc lifeless body already floated on the water. An autopsy proved that the fine animal was healthy in every or gan, and it was consequently sur mised that thc "rash act" must have had a i:moral" cause.

No won-. der if sometimes one or both of the pare:::.s. gives out under the strain and perhaps some kind neighbor or one of the youngc:1 members pf the household has to seize the helm and keep the little family ship off the rocks of actual distress. The poor sick father or mother thinks " O, if I could only get on my feet and be at work how differ ent it would be ! " Day after day the ailing one struggles to rise superior to the misery that weighs him or her down ; hoping against ho pe that the next day will be a better one. The doctor is sent for. He gives all the "regulation " stereotyped remedies but they prove of no avail. Then follow more days and weeks perhaps weary months-of waiting and hop ing for the restoration that does not come; while every heart is filled with the fore boding question: " What will be the end?" A man doesn't know what is the matter with him; he feels all the strength and en ergy oozing out of him; he can't work; he can't eal; he can't sleep; he can't even think clearly. He loses heart and courage and flesh; pretty soon he feels badly in his lungs. Thc doctors call it consumption and prescribe lung specifics. But what the man needs is a medicine to go deep down into the foundations of the trouble; clear the poison out of his blood; wake up his liver, purify, revitalize and build up his system from the foundation - stone. * He needs Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery which has cured innumerable cases of obstinate liver complaint which the doctors diagnosed as hopeless consumption. T'.K' work of this masterful "Discovery" begins at the very corner-stone of life in the stomach and nutritive organism. It ? gives appetite, nourishment, rich blood, healthy solid flesh. A cough is only a symptom; there arc other things that make the cough; they must be got rid of first, thc cough may be the last thing to go away. Does Dr. Pierce claim to cure consump tion ? That question isn't worth arguing. Look at thc record. Take a case in point. Here is a man (or woman) with a hacking cough, a hectic flush, night-sweats, great emacia tion or wasting of flesh, spitting of blood, i shortness of breath and all the other symp , toms. After every remedy and every local pli3'sician has failed, he, as a lar-t resort. 1 takes "Golden Medical Discovery" and the cough \-anishcs, the cheek gets back its natural color, sleep becomes sound and re freshing, thc spitting of blood slops, flesh and muscles become firm, weight increases, and life goes along in quiet and comfort ? to the full limit of the three score years and ten. But maj- bc it wasn't consumption after all r May be it wasn't. You know it was ; something that was attacking the very cit adc. of life, and it was something that was curd by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. And Dr. Pierce is cur ! ing such '.somethings " right along with a I record of over a quarter of a million cases, and not ?mrc than three per cent, of failures. One fret, at least, is well established. That thc- "Golden Medical Discovery" cines cure weak luiiprs, bleeding from lunps, obstinate, lingering coughs, laryngitis, bronchitis, throat disease, and kindred affections of thc air - passages, which, if neglected or badly treated, lead up to con sumption, can no longer be doubted in view of the many thousands of well estab lished cuns of such cases reported by thc most trustworthy citizens. Many of ihesc cases have been pronounced consumption -and incurable-by thc best local physi cians before thc sufferers commenced thc use of Dr. Pierce's Gulden Medical Dis covery.
