THE SOUTHERN "WORLD, OCTOBER 15, 1881 9 It is surprising how much can be learned from a face. Physiognomy seldom lies. This lady with the diamonds in her ears is not a person of position. Her dress is faultless, her movement elegant; she is very hand some, but "somehow you know." It is that peculiar, half-doubtful, half-supercilious ex pression of hers that tells its own story. She is at once defiant and ashamed. Yonder sits an ill-dressed man, near a fair and tidy, mid dle-aged woman, but there is a gracious, matronly look upon her face. You place her at once as honest wife and careful mother. You have no doubt of her, nor of the girl at her side, her daughter. The lan guage of the face is very plainly written, if one will only learn to read it. I think if girls knew this—if they took it to heart and believed it—it would be well for them. This wish to look well is strong in all feminine hearts; with this end in view they will starve or take bitter medicine, rub bismuth or arsenic upon their faces, cover their hands and foreheads witli sticky pastes on retir ing, and forbid themselves fresh, breezy walks or pleasant sails for fear of tanning. Yet, at the same time, they will think and do many things which stamp on expression not to be coveted upon their young faces, and quite forget that, after all, the face is but as a vace which the lamp of the soul illuminates, and that the best beauty comes from within. The Art Amateur for October is especially rich in practical hirts and directions for art work and home decoration. The supple ment of designs contains, beside those for flower and figure painting, a notable one for an embroidered panel of "Birds and Wild Roses,” the first of a series from the Royal School of Art Needlework at South Kensing ton. The frontispiece is a fine drawing by Piton of a superb portrait plaque from the famous Deck factory. A spirited sketch of the "Genius of Music” by the French deco rator, Galland, forms another striking full page illustration; a decorative ceiling by Faivre, and two of the Vanderbilt painted windows, are also given. The recent Ham- ilton sale receives much attention, and many of the most noteworthy paintings and other objects sold are illustrated. There is a vigorous article on the artists Courbet and Baudry, and a very interesting account of the new art of "Lustra Painting,” lately taken up by the British “upper ten.” If any of our readers are still unacquainted with The Art Amateur it will pay them to send for the October issue.

They have to twirl the glottis sixty thousand times a minute, And push and punch the diaphragm as though the deuce were in It. Chorus-The pharynx now goes up; The larynx, with a slam, Ejects a note From out the throat, Pushed by the diaphragm." The dimensions of. the tunnels of the Northern Pacific Railroad, as given by Chief Engineer Anderson, are as follows : At the Big Horn, 1,100 feet, now completed; through Bozeman Pass, 3,000 feet; at the Mullan Pass, near Helena, 3,050 feet; at the Mullan grade, 600 feet, and at the Blackfoot, 300 feet—in all, 9,360 feet. The heaviest work is at the Bozeman and Mullan Passes. The raising of lavender in England has be come an important industry. The harvest is gathered in August. The flowers are then cut and taken to the distillery followed by immense numbers of bees which are partic ularly fond of the odor. About 30,000 gal lons of spirltsof lavender are annually made.

Ills wife has Just come with his dinner, and the two chil dren, all looking happy and contented with life. Who Is turned with her back to the looker-on, holding In one hand the basket of dinner, while with the other, she Is transferring the Infant child to Its father's arms. He is taking It with tender care.wlille an expres sion of happy pride mingles with that ot fatigue and almost overcomes It, so great seems to be Ills admira tion for the Utile one. Un the other side of her moth er a little girl, apparently about four years of age, stands with her dolly and a long bunch of grass in one hand, and with the other pretends to assist mam ma with the.baaket, looking saucily up Into pupa’s face, as If to say, “You dou't know what's In hero for you!" Around them .are growing wild llowers and tall grass, while the scene Is Hooded with the bright beams ot the noon-day sunlight. In the dark background Is n grove or wood, where a silent, lonely figure, draped In widow's weeds, stands amid the shadows, and with a sad, downcast countenance, gases upon the happy group before her with a far-away look, as If recalling the days when ahe. too, was huppy.or viewing the contrast between this family and her owu blighted life.
