WHAT EYES TELL. Hazel eyes ehow steadiness and pow- er of conetant affection; green, cat- like orbs, though frequently farminat- ing, are dangerous, for they are a sista of deceit. Black eyes show stroeg tellect and passions. The eyes of gen, bus are said to be of varying tints, 1114 tbe sea -sometimes blue, tinged with green or oraege ; in certain lights, or when affected by emotion, deep and almost dark. It should never be fore gotten thee eyes are more capable of misleading than any other feature, 'Widely expanded eyelids see much without reflecting greatly; they live in the senses, and think little beyond the present moment. Eyelids half aloe. ing over the eyes denote less facility of impression, but clearer insight, more definite ideas, greater steadinese in action.
