Some More Eyes.—The Features that Reveal More than they See. Ir wounp not be necessary for aman to to “wear his heart upon “his sleeve for every daw to peck at": the daw might bet- ter peck at his eves to get his heart, for they were the things that revealed it all, Of course, Tie JupGer can give only afew ustrations of its great system of min¢ reading and fore-tel ing destiny — mere squints at the science, asit were, “The typ of character which have been read by previ- ous illustrations were not of the higher or- der. We give this week examples of a nobler order of eyes: types by whic! ih! we see to read humanity’s title clearer to high destiny. ¢ first of these is a fine specimen of an eye. The noble arch of the brows shows a lofty rature. ‘The wide space between the eyes indicates large intellectual development, juence, poetry, imagination. The full. uplifted upper lid manifests a high-spiritual nature. All this is like a double span of noble cathedral arches. The outer angle reveals mirthand a generous physical nature. This latter suggestion is A carried into a plain revela- tion of a full animal organ- ization by the heavy low- THE. or ils The uppér and oueat WEAK MAN lower lids antagonize e other; the one points to heaven, the other drags down to carth, but in this case the former predomi- nates and indicates that in most instances: the owner will keep the physical in. subjec- tion tohis grander and more spiritual nawure. The high development of the imaginative qualities here revealed is also an element of weakness in an otherwise strong character. With such great vital force to drive him the way imagination leads, he would be capable of going very far wrong in a course inexpli- cable to one who has not studied the visible signs of a variable nature. His impulses will overshadow his judgment and lead him into sentimental blunders, to the confound- DEB JUDGE. ing and sorrow of his friends. He will be regular only in irregularity, and consistently inconsistent from the loveliest motives. is poetic and religious nature and large lan- guage would suggest him for a preacher of the gospel, but in the pulpit he will be a very bull ina china shop. He would preach a gospel according to himself. and have a ‘doxy all his own. He will probably bring both glory and shame to the pulpit. All the developments indicated by these features are ona grand scale and will lead to great achievements and great errors, It is wlanced; it is, rather counterbal- wi the counter-balancing qualities ure so strong that they often wobble on the moral ax If his failings do not lean to Virtue’s side, at least his whole nature leans to the side of humanity. ‘There could not be a stronger contrast than the next orbital development presents to the last one illustrated. This is as_pro- nounced a type a3 the other, but how dilfer- ent! It compares with the other as the low, far-projecting roof of a Swiss chalet does to a lofty Greek portico. ‘The strongest indi- — cations here are language, in the “projecting brows, and mirth in a the narrow opening of the hds, 7 eX the drawn-up appearance of the nether one, and the quizzical com- —~ pression at the outer angle of the S— two. ‘There is nothing noble or lofty in this nature; nor anything THE JESTE mean or vicious. If the eyes squinted because of the dropping of the upper lid it would indi ate craft; but the raising of the lower lid shows, simply, the qnizzical, cynical gaze of the jester and satirist. ‘he wearer of such eyes will prob- ably be a great talker and joker—regulariy billions with words. Me would make capital low comedian or end man in a min- strel show. — His irrepressible mirthfulness would destroy his dignity in any other pub- lic place. He has combativeness enough, as indicated by the pitch of his eyes, to take the place of moral purpose; he will scem to be on the side of righteousness because he attacks men’s vices and sins, as the. most assailable points to his wit. But through and in it all he is only a comedian. In the next illustrat nounced type of character looks out, or refuses to look ovt—which amounts to much the same thing, for we judge as much by concealmentsas by revelations in this science. This character is different from all we have seen in the three chapters on this subject; indeed, it is quite a rara avis and as fy ™ customer. ‘There is only one such produced in a generation, but it is still a type, though an exaggerated one, of a class that has many r atives, Observe the remark- able downward pitch of the orbital arch and the still more marked slope of the socket and eye-lids. ‘These speak of a — deep and crafty nature, in the “ nan equally pro- MAN ship. deeper and beter sort of craft; S Qualities that goto make up /® he skillful diplomat or the /° iN great lawyer.

This sort of man will be ambitious for the sake of achievements: a fighter for the pleasure of beating, But he is too intent and reckless in his rush to his objective, too little politic and careful, to be either largely successful in affairs, or popu- lar. He will ride rough-shod to his end, and ashe has a broad grasp of detail, he will “THE JUDGE'S” PAIIS FASIION PLATE, usually get there, at the greatest cost to all concerned. All his powers are‘ essentia executive,” but his methods are so or’ and thorough that he will not succeed if hampered. He would make a splendid mili- tary governor of a subjugated province, with unlimited powers. If he were Czar of the Russias he would extirpate Nihilism in a month, and give the people the most arbi- trary, beneficent and popular government they could have. Such a man has no chance for his talents in a republic No doubt the reader is surprised to sce the simplicity, accuracy, and clearness of this system of reading character. All great ¢ coveries are that way. Yet we have not t the full capacities of this art of para acter. We could tell, for in- bove sub- ct when accused of a dis; estan crime, how another would act if accused of stealing spoons, how another would make a burlesque of it if called on to defend a sacred cause.
