b 4 CHARACTER TOLD BY EYES Truthfully Have They Been Designat- ed by the Wise as the “Windows of the Soul.” Eyes are the most certain revealers of the criminal nature. Many an ex- pert detective tells a criminal by just one glance—not at him, but from him. The criminal eye varies greatly in set- ting, but not so much in color. Sometimes it is deeply placed in the i head, as if it tries to hide, fearing the result of its own involuntary revela- tions. Sometimes it is bulgy, pro- trusive like a frog’s and heavy-lidded. Such eyes, in connection with some other signs, denote treachery, men- dacity, and general cruelty. Of the criminal eye there are many remarkable anecdotes. The murderer Francesconi had little about him to indicate the criminal. To most people he rendered himself companionable by facetiousness nnd easiness of man- ners. , Years before his crime a young girl —afterwards the Countess dell Roc- ca—who had never left home, and lacked experience of life, recoiled from him violently when introduced, and refuséd to endure his presence. When questioned why she behaved thus, she answered: “If that man has | plied: not already murdered people, he will do s0.” The girlish prophecy very soon came true, and when the scient- ist Lombroso inquired by what sign she had foretold his character, she re- “The eyes; I saw him in his eyes.” ' BRING MEMORY OF THE PAST Humanity Inspired by Songs of Birds and Noises of the Cricket and the Katydid. Country Life in America says a carefully trained ear and mind are indispensable to enable one to detect and to discriminate readily from the general insect medley any particular species of muslician. As with birds and their songs, much of the charm and pleasure to be got- ten from insect music depends on the emotional coloring associated with it. ‘We are enraptured with the notes of the pewee in spring, or the earliest piping of the frogs, not because these sounds in themselves possess any in- trinsic sweetness, but because they recall endearing memories of many happy, hopeful springtimes. They are always the harbingers of another ver- dant season. Their plaintive notes add to our minds an emotional warmth and sunshine. They awaken for us |an inner, subjectivé springtime. In a similar way the crickets and katydids gladden and inspire us with their music in proportion- as their | notes have become associated in our minds with the emotional coloring of past memories. Yorkshire’s Many Acres. One often hears it stated that York- shire can boast more acres than there are letters in the Bible, and most people, on hearing the statement for the first time, are inclined to doubt its accuracy. It is perfectly true, however. Authorities differ as to the exact acreage of Yorkshire, one giv: ing it as 3,882,848 acres, another as 8,771,843; but as the number of let ters in the Bible, according to labor} ous computation, is only 8,566,480, the acres beat the letters with something to spare—London Tit-Bits.

THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PET AVERSION OF THE SAILOR Stormy Petrel Is Regarded with Dis favor by Even the Most Stout- Hearted Seamen. There are few persons who have crossed the ocean that have not ob served the stormy petrel skimming along the surface of the water. They flit past the vessel like swallows, tak: ing their scanty portion of food from the waves. Habited in black and making their appearance generally in larger num- bers just previous to, or 'during, & storm, they have long been regarded hs the superstitious not only as fore- boding messengers, but as agents in some way responsible for bad weather. Nobody can tell where they come from or where they breed. Sailors as- sert they hatch the egg under the wing and rear the young on pieces of flot- sam. That mysterious origin has giv- en rige to an opinion prevalent among mariners that they are in some way connected with the supernatural agen- cles of the air, They - are variously known as stormy petrels, witch birds, the devil's birds and Mother Carey’s chickens. Cheir sudden appearance often makes the stoutest hearted seaman flinch. ginal Panamans. The Chocos Indians, who live on the southwestern coast of Panama, are be- lieved to be descendants of the tribes which inhabited that part of the world when Columbus discovered Santo Do- mingo. They are tall and stalwart, with kindly natures, a free hospitality and an innate honesty. Few white men have ever been among them. Tribes of a somewhat similar nature are also found on the southeast coast, many of them having never seen a white face in their lives. While the republic of Panama nominally rules this section, the truth is that these Indians govern themselves entirely, and have absolute- Iy no intercourse with the white. They do not allow a white man to visit their lands and still iy the Colombian flag. Their houses are grass huts, their clothing is almost nothing, but they seem to enjoy life in spite of the fact that they are unacquainted with the benefits of religion, fashion, society and government, Guides to Business Success.
