The grizzled leader walked almost to my feet and there stopped ir several seconds. ri:ng his snow-crested black eyes upon me in mild surprise. Then he foryed ahead with the storm.

the moving legs and downcast heads of the ones un the edges of the gap that opend as they neared me and closed as they passed me by. often touching my clothes. There seemed to be thousands of the sheep as they filed past in the driving pale. I could not imagine where they were going, b.it every one of the solemn-faced creatures seemed to hsve a fixed purpose. .Inst as the end of the flock seemed nigh, n big black dog loomed up in the rear and came str urht at me. with a trifle of suspicion in his eyes. He tok my joyful greeting in friendly mann-r. however, but I looked in vain for any

feeling that danger lurked in all this soothing comfort. Hut the. heavy warmth of the sheep and their quietness so affected me that 1 soon drifted into slumber. At troubled grinds ; I awoke to lind darkness all about, but the breathing of my fleecy com- ' panions again and again renewed my j drowsy sense of security and comfort ' til' oblivion came once more. It was ( only when the cramped position of ! my body made a change necessary ' that I awoke enough to see that there was a dim light shining through the j snow above me. I broke through the chilly covering ! to find it broad daylight; the sun. high in the cloudless sky, was glaring intolerably on the wide, white conn- j try. The sheep were still quiet tinder their snow blanket, and the sSnrCsefl was unbroken, but bey md them I saw ! the black water of the open river smoking against its glittering bnnks. : The blind march had led us out on a narrow, sandv pen'nsula, where the rher euned around in its narrow bed. and here, it seemed, the faithful dog hnd divined danger and had slipped around the flock in time to keep the leaders from venturing on the t reach- j erous ice. U here the brave fellow was I did not know until f eKmhcd the low bank . ind discovered him watchfully upright on the highest point, gaing across the drifts io the town, which was. to my hnsSSemcnt, hardly a mile away.

The majority of people do not know the color of their best friend's eyes. They remember faces by the nose and mouth. Sometimes the cart; more ften by the general expression. Th eye itself has no expression, although

it is considered the most expressive of all features. The expression that is attributed to the eye really resides in the lids, the eyebrows and the muscles of the adjacent part of the face. It is to this expression that the attention of most people is directed, taj I the Detroit Free PresF. They see a light coming from the eye and vitali.'.iiig the expression of the lids and muscles, but the real character of the eye they fail to notice. There is a fascination in he study of the color of the eye, and it is held that there is no color recognized that cannot be found in the eyes of some human being. There are red eyes, green eyes, golden eyes, violet tyes, sapphire, baby blue, black, white, yellow eyes, and eyes, besides, in which these tints are mixed. Elite eyes are said to be the most numerous.and of these there are many varieties. The most common kind is

that which is really a mixture of darkblue and grayish white. With this kind of an eye sometimes the blue sind white are mixed irregularly, in which case the eye lacks brilliance, though it may be lustrous. Sometimes the body of the iris is grayish white, with blue radii extending fron, the pupil. This marking gives a peculiarly hard expression to the eye. In still another sub-variety the centrafpart of the iris light bluish gray, with a rim of dark lue. Such an eye is often mistaken for black. The dark rim around the iris is not so noticeable in blue eyes as in some other kinds, notably, white nnd golden eyes, in which it produces a strange, startling and fascinating effect.

The limpi.I blue eye is comparatively rare. It is of a uniform coloration and appears tobe almost liquid. Fine specimens have a eertain beauty, but the eye, as a rule, lacks character. Near akin to it is the china blue or robin's egg blue eye, also of uniform coloration, but lacking liquidity. It slso, is lacking sometvhnt in character. The varieties of brown eyes are numlterless. The deepest shade usually passes for black. Sonic eyes of this .hade suggest a velvety texture, nnd the whites by contrast have a peculiar pearly luster. Then Äicre are the soft brown eyes that are usually called pleasant, and the sharp brown eyes that are called snappy. Yon may occasionally lind brown eyes of such a light tint as to be called properly orange or yellow. The golden eye is a variety of the brown eye, but a wonderful variety. It Is not a yellow eye; it is infinitely more strange, more beautiful than the yellow eye. Golden eyes are

not ferocious; they suggest the wild creature that has been turned to pcntleness. Green eyes are often the most fascinating of all eyes, and the shade in rarely found unmixed. Usually the green tint is mixed witn gray or brown, or hot h. The combination with brown or brown and gray is known familiarly as the brown-hazel o? green-hazel eye, which, popular wisdom has it, is always to be truated. (Jreen in the eye is thought to indicate treachery, but usually it indicates power of fascination. Thackeray gave Becky Sharp green eyes, and ltecky was both treacherous und fascinating. Urown neutralizes the bad effects of green in the eye, while detracting not at all from its fascination. The white eye may be a very beautiful eye or a terrible eye. With the iris rimmed with black, this eye has great distinction. In a woman, when its startling effect is modified by beautiful features and gentle expression, it is wonderfully alluring. In a man, whose face is coarse or brutal, this eye st rikes one with horror.

Int. tue of the Moea.

Some night when the moon is at its full and the air is free from haze go outdoors with a hand mirror and hold it so that the moon's image will fall on it. Make the experiment preferably when the moon is well up in the heavens. Instead of seeing one image, as you will expect, you will see four. One of these images will be very bright, but the other three will be dull, like unburnished silver. They will be in a straight line, one of the dull images on one side of the bright image arid two on the other side of it. Turn the mirror slowly around and the images will appear to revolve around a common center. The explanation of this queer little phenomenon may be found in the fact that there are two surfaces in a mirror, one in front and the other in the back, where the quicksilver is. The brightest of the images is from the moon itself; the others are what ore known aa seconda y images, reflected from the front to the hack of the mirror, and thence to the eye. A similar cxperi tnent may be made with the planets Venus. Jupiter and Mars, or with any of the first magnitude stars, such as Sirius, Capella, Arcturus, Vega and Antares. The planets and the stars however, make only three images the number of images depending on the breadth of the object. A perfectf clear night is essentisl. Detroit News-Tribune.

8CH00L AND CHURCH. Cub) Ionian books, many of these haing been in existence 3,000 years before Christ, nearly 1,000 in all, were presented to lla.crford college by J. Wibter Brawa, of Philadelphia. A college of applied science is being organized at Syracuse university, in which mechanical, electric and civil engineering will be taught. The first building la the gift of the founder, Lyman Cornelius Smith, und is in process of erection. Dr. J. Joseph Dunn, of New Hares, Conn., who has been appointed professor of (iaelie in t he Cut ho Lie university of Washington, is now studying in Harvard and will take a year's study in Europe before assuming his professorship in Washington. Kx-Muyor Samuel A. Green, of Boston, has given to the Harvard art museum some gorgeous articles of w earing apparel worn by Harvard stu dents of his ancestors upon their gradaattaa to the eighteenth eeataey. Dr. Cr.en's grandfather graduated la Mgr. Senlabrini of Placenza, Itsly who is reported as the probable successor of Cardinal Martinelli as ths papal delegate to this country, is regarded as one of the ablest ecclesiastics of the church in Italy and for a number of years has been in charge of his present diocese in Placenza. A teacher in New York city was prohibit eil by the board of edueat ion from 1. aching patriotic songs of all nations. She not only taught "The Star-Span-glsu lianner." "Columbia" and "America," but also the "Wutch on the Ehine," "Marseillaise" and other national airs. With the songs were displayed the flags of the countries and a very instructive lesson made of it, but it was not thought proper for s public school exercise. The Uaptist ministers of Aceomac, Va., ten or twelve strong, have taken a most unique action, which has caused no little excitement in the religious world. At a secret session they conferred the degree of doctor of divinity upon one of their number, and have come out strongly for the doctrine that they have as much right to do so bs the institutions of learning. They hold, furthermore, that every minister of good standing should have a degree conferred upon him by his fellows. SOME RUSTIC INDUSTRIES.

In one respect at least harvest tinu brin i5 - hack very forcibly to the minds of the elderly iu agricultural dist rictt t he fact that since their day rustic influstries have undergone immense ehsnges, says the London Mail. The local conditions of rural life as regards the agricultural and cottage laborers have doubtless been appreciably improved duning the lust 50 years. Wages have increased and much physiealexertion has been modified, by the use ol mechanical and labor-savii g contrivances. It is the women, however, of the cottage homes who are the greatest gainers by the changes in rural coo dltiona. Fifty years ago they took their share of the field work with the men, and summ r and v inter alike the wife or daughter was as much a field hmid as the husband or father. 15ut now it is only upon special occasions that the cottuge housewife is to be me( with working in the fields, or on the land at all. unless it is in her own Sott age garden. There is one characteristic of "Bustle lad uatry"whieh has

; bees, handed down from long antecej dent times, and which has always

ks etuetl t o nave neen i ue v ouia u s w ora, and yet, during the last few years, it, too, ha ceased to find its wonted sotaries. (leaning in the cornfields, ss Uuth gleaned after tin1 reapers in the fields of BOal, has vanished forever. The reaper and self-binder leave little for the gh Bar to pick up, and as the days of high-priced bread seem also to have passed, the laborers who lived largely upon the brown bread ground

from the corn of tlu-ir own gleaning now eat the Whlti bread the baker's cart leaves at tlx ir door. Thus there is no incentive to pursue this dd world Industry, It has gone the way of silkworm culture a species of rural Industry which James I. nnd succeeding monarch made strenuous efforts to encourage. In connection with the silkworm, mudbcrry trees were plantel in prodigious quantities 60 years or so ago for silk-raising purposes, but now the tree has disappeared from England and women have lost an occupation. Fruit gnth ring still keeps its place as one of the village industries in which women excel.

The Hest Telephoned City. What is the lest telephoned1 city In the world? The question is interesting in view of the coming developments in London. San Francisco seems to be the answer. In that gtatiOVI city, with a populution of M2, TU, there are 11,344 telephones, or 62 per I,0t0. In BeTope, (penhagen is probably the best telephOBOd cit., with l&Jttl telephones to its ,'!i:..vv.i of population, equal to N per :,oio. In Copenhagen, too, tho best conditions for tha public exist, sithough the rates arc relatively ss high as those in American cities. London compares Self unfavorably with th' se figures.
