A MYSTERY.
His mouth was large, his nose not
straight,
His eyes were a washed out blue,
His ears stuck far from a pear-like pate,
His hair was a carroty hue.
An insignificant, grimsack man,
Commercial, quaint, outre,
Built on a wondrously homely plan
From the odds and ends of clay.
And the people mocked—Love took
part,
The mischievous, kindly elf,
And threw a glamour by subtle art
Known just to his cunning self.
Then, sudden, a woman, regal, tall,
Sprang close to the scarecrow’s sideof
“Indeed, he’s the handsomest man
all
In the whole, whole world!’’ she
cried.

Eyes With Double Pupils.
Cicero says that "the glance of all
women with the double pupil in the eye
is noxious, blighting and withering.”
Cadmus tells us that such persons
would not drown. Still others say that
if they did drown the body would nev
er sink, neither would it decay. They
could cure the disease of the chest
consumption—by rubbing their perspi
ration on the affected parts of the indi
vidual, and in case the double pupils
were red instead of black they could
cure the lepers and the blind.
