Facial Expression
A man's occupation has a great deal to do with tnaking his facial expression. Studies, or scholarly professions, intellectual pursuits, when coupled with moral habits, brighten the face and give a superior look. An unselfish nature, or love of studies or arts, will make a bright, pleasant face; but on the contrary, a man may have a face that does not please . anyone, because of pure selfishness. It may be noticed that soldiers get a hard, severe look ; labourers look tired ; reporters look inquisitive; mathematicians look studious; judges look grave, and a man whose home-life is unhappy looks all broken up. The business often makes tho face. How often we think this man is a butcher, this one a lawyer, that one a minister, the other a doctor, and so on. It is seldom we are mistaken, for the callings show through the faces. And who fails to recognise the genuine farmer the minute one sets eyes on him ?—' N. Y. Ledger.'
