COLOR OF WOMEN’S EYES.

The Mere Question of Pigment Has Settled Many a Man’‘s Fate.

“Did you ever notice that men al- ways instinctively put confidence in a girl with blue eyes, and have their suspicions of the girl with brilliant black ones, and will you kindly tell me why?” writes Lilian Bell in the Ladies’ Home Journal. “Is it that the Ilmpid blue eye,transparent and gentle; suggests all the soft, womanly virtues, and because he thinks he can see through it, clear down into that blue eyed girl’s soul, that she is the kind of girl he fancies she is? I think it is, but some of the greatest little frauds I know are the purry, kitteny girls with big innocent blue eyes. Blazing black eyes, and the rich warm colors which dark-skinned women have to wear, suggest energy and brilliance and no end of intellect. Men look in- to such eyes and seem not to be able tosee below the surface. They have not the pleasure of a long, deep gaze into immeasurable depths. And so they think her designing and clever, and perhaps (God save the mark!) even intellectual, when perhaps she has a wealth of love and devotion and heroism stored up behind the impulsive disposition and those dazzling black eyes, which would do and dare more in a minute for some man she had set that great heart of hers upon, than your cool-blooded tranquil blonde | would do in forty years.

“ASH CARREL JIMMY.”

he First Convert of the Salvation Army fn America,

Our first convert in America is ctill

ving aud serving the army ia Boston

i

tory of his reform is 2 remark:

‘be hi - le one.

The conversion of the first of amighty

iultitude was brought abeut by Com- nissioner Railton, then iu command of he American forces of the army, and superintendent Thomas Byrnes of the New York police. Mr. Byrnes was an iugpectcr of police at the time, early in 1880

It is safe to say that in Salvation Army circles there are very few who do not know Jimmy, by reputation at least. Jimmy was a thief and @runkard when converted in New Yerk in March, 1880. His name is James Kemp.

Three times Jimmy narrowly escaped losing his life. On one occasion he was nearly frozen to death outside Billy Mc- Glory’s notorious dive. On another oc- casion he was so brutally beaten in « Water street dive that he was supposed to be dead. The morgue wagon was called by the police, and the bruised and battered body, apparently dead, was car- ried tothe morgue. When it, or rather he, arrived there some of the cCoctors made the discovery that Jinimy still lived, and so he was taken to the hos- pital, where he remained four months. His last narrow escepe from death was when he drank a quantity of spirits cf wine which he found inacellar. Jiim- my drank so much he went raving mad and tried to hang himself. He was sent to prison for three months for attempt-~ ing suicide.

The first Saturday afternoon in March, 1880, Jimmy started out to have some amusement, and hearing that the Salva- tion Army, which had just arrived from England, was going **to show” at Harry Hill's notorious resort he concluded to go there and see what kind of people the soldiers were. When he arrived at Hill's, he found that there was an admission fee, and he, with a drunkard’s economy, determined to spend the price of admis- sion in a «different manner. Toward night he strolled intoa dive in Water

street, where his Whyo friends painted ; his back and served his face the saure | way and wound up the performance by |

rolling the unfortunate man in the saw- dust of the dive floor. Jimmy, aftersub- mitting to their treatment, thoughtthey would let him stay there all night; but. alas, they kicked him out on the s#reet.

Just as Jimmy reached the sidewalk his cap blew off and fell into an ash bar- rel which was standing near the door of the den. Jimmy tried to recover it, but in doing so lost his balance and fell head first into the barrel. He struggled to get out, but all his efforts were in vain. He seemed to be there to stay.

A short time after Jimmy’s acrobatic feat a policeman came along, and seeing a@ man’s legs in the barre] set to work to discover who was the owner of them and why he had them in such a position He took out his club and struck the in- verted man on the soles of his feet. These means are sometimes resorted to by policemen to arouse drunken men.

From the depths of the barrel came a voice which the policeman at once recog- nized. He rapped for assistance, and when another officer appeared on the scene an effort was made to get Jimmy from his novel but painful position. They pulled at the protruding feet, but Jimmy failed to respond, his clothes hay- ing been caught on the nails which had been driven through the barrel. They pulled until the old rotten shoes gave way and were left in their hands. The policemen then threw the barrel down on its side, and laying hold of the unfor- tunate man’s feet they dragged the bar- rel and its howling occupant toward the police station.

A pitiful sight was poor Jimmy when he reached the station. His face, which had been blackened by the toughs in the dive, was all battered and bruised, and the paint on his face, mingled with blood, was strongly suggestive of a scalped Indian. His clothes were all torn and his shoes gone. How complete the ruin! How perfect the wreck!

Superintendent Byrnes suggested that the Salvation Army be allowed to try its hand on the man, and the result was his conversion, since which time he has served faithfully in its ranks.—Boston Heraid,

From this position the head_and shoulders are raised by means of the muscles of the back. Another valuable exercise is taken lying on the back and extending the leg up and out from the hip. Both of these move- ments give exercise to the muscles which bicycling neglects.

Narrow bicycle saddles, Miss Lind- ley declared to be the cause of half the evils resulting from wheeling. She advocated the use of a saddle adapted to the needs of the person who sat on it made-to-order saddle. And she insisted that the width of the made-to- order saddle should be at least approx- imately as great asthat of a properly made chair.—Milwaukee Journal,

The Reign of Love.

Were England to fall from her high estate, to lose her pre-eminence among the nations of the world, to sink to the rank of a second-rate Power, not only would our own liberty be grievously impaired, but the cause of liberty throughout the world would receive a deadly wound. In approaching the question it is essentially necessary to clear one’s mind of that sickly senti- mentality, that optimistic cant of “humanitarianism,” as it is called, which is so unpleasant a sign of the times. ‘‘War and hate,” have not re- tired from the world to make room for men,and for nations of men. Yes, and for ‘‘fruitful strifes and rivalries of peace.” The struggle for existence is still the law for men, and for the nations of men. Yes, and will con- tinue to be so for generations far be- yond those of which we need take ac- count. Human nature may be trans- formed in an indefinitely remote fu- ture. So may leonine nature. But in this epoch of the world wherein we have to live and act, if the lion lies down at all with the lamb, it is, as Sydney Smith said, with the lamb in his stomach. And if men forsake the use of swords and spears, it assuredly is not to convert them into plowshares and pruning hooks, but to substitute rifled canon for those antique instru- ments of slaughter, now found ineffecr- ively murderous.

Surely, never was the aspect of Eu- rope so threatening -as it is at the present hour. Standing armies of a vastness hitherto undreamed of con- front one The frontiers of every country are embattled. Rail- ways are converted into military roads. The physical sciences are ran-
