The Color of the Eyes.

i'n'.'.v eves arc not at all of llio mischievous or ilangt-rotis class. There is the calm, clear, -gray eye that reasons as well as feels, tli.it belongs to the brilliant talker, who is never thinking how she may ensnare yon, i .truly lighted I>y passion, but full of'the steady tire of friendship, and ever awake to the behests of duty. W hell the master comes she makes the sweetest and truest of wives, but woe to the dunderhead who thinks he can tame her. Let the blue eye tell of love. And the black eye of beauty, but the gray soars far above In tbc realms of duty. Ardor for (he black proclaim, itenth: sympathy for blue. Lot tin; cray may be the same, And the gray is ever true. Sing. then, of the blue eyes, hmc, Sing the hazel eye of beauty, Lut the gray eye is crowned above, Itadiaiit in the realm of duty. There arc two kinds of hazel eyes, the dark hazel with a blue shade and the light hazel, in which green, yellow and blue all mingle, sometimes another of the shades predominating. These were the eyes of Cleopatra. They indicate brain, temper, spirit ami passion. She who 1< >ui;S through such luminous windows, can purr like a cat and soothe you into submission, or she can spring like a panther when the occasion calls for it, and rend you. Tiic Southern creoles often have such eyes. Slut the dark hazel belongs to a w.iinan of ;■ ditfereut temperament. She inspires a platonic sentiment, is useful, agreeable, intellectual, never talks too much, or mo little and never gossips. •■rr.e. fit! and tender, loving, and kind, l :i" win..- w.-rM o'er you will not find Lyes that so litm the heart can bind. Itrnwn eyes are often confounded with hazel, but. they form a separate class and have a softness and beauty peculiarly their own. Tim;, often go with light hair and fresh, fair complexions, and arc full of laughing brightness. Others of more decided brown go with black hair and a dark brilliant complexion. I liy brown eyes haw a look like birds i'g ;ng i traighfvay to the light. Tim poets have praised blue eyes more, perhaps, than any other kind. Those eyis S.-ft and as a cloudless sky V.'li.u'azure d pihs their cuh>r emulates. The large, light blue eyes, with the golden evcba.di and the faintly trace-1 brow are the type of purity and peace, while the li nk lustrous blue eye, full of emotion, as it in iv 1,-, iss;unofast and true to the very i, e.t .:n , f its limpid depths.

Helen of Trov lu-l blue eyes, an.l Homer, gives .lutio, Mincrv.i and Venus eyes of the rauie line. \i,hough novelists uml po--;s have ii.su.tllv a.Moeiuteil the tragic spirit with pa. si raoc black eyes, they arc not home oat hr the facts of actual life, hu s ;;i it irsba had blue eyes and, blonde hair, so hj cl Mine, ib-nviitiers, the mosthcuiitnn! and nio-t devilish woman of her time, -loan of Are w’as a gray-eyed blonde, .Maty, Oiteeuof Scots, had gray eyes, and Ml'/ahcth had gray e}csnikLj|^i|ifc spirit. usually very haudsuiiie, and full of love and sincerity.

From youth to age he was nevertreated with familiarity by those who were imar him. At least not a second tii;i". «l.iverner Morris once slapped him faonharlv on the shoulder, in fulfilment of a oet he had made, but when Washington turned Ins eyes on him Morris almost sunk to the mound, and most abjectly apologued. Napoleon had the same keen glance out of his gray eyes, that searched to the very bottom of one's heart. A French writer cu temperance topics, Mon-. .1. 11.

Moas. Louis Pasteur recently stated that since October gii, IS'.'., three hundred and titty patients had been treated for rabies by bis new method. with a successful result in every case but one. Another exception to its uniform success must now be added, as • me of bis patients has died of wolf bite since he made the statement wc have mentioned. A laov.-iiv nt is on foot, strongly supported in seienlitie and medical circles, for the establishment of a permanent hospital at Tatis in which both foreigners and Frenchmen suffering from (he biles of rabid animal- may receive treatment according to Tasteur's system of inoculation. Although the use of va-eline in food preparations has recently been forbidden bv the health authorities in France, some doubt exist* as to whether this substance is really harmful. A French chemist has administered it to dogs in large i|iiautiließ, and these animals appeared to suffer no injury from it and. indeed, increased in weight while the experiment was going on.
