Show lng to Improve the face by using paint and powder. In everyday life one 8ee the variety expressed In the following lines: FACES. There are facoa ns cold as the Ice, And faces as warm as the sun; There are faces nil marred with vice And faces wo ever huu; There xro facca vacant of thought Far faces, but nothing more; . There are faces with sunlight caugh., Sweet faces. wo half adore. - . There 'are cynical faces mean That sneer with never a word, And faces composed and serene By the power of the truth once hoard; There are beautiful faces oft. But not of the chalk or paint; And there arc faces pure and soft, The faces quite of a saint. God pity some faces I see! They "speak of a life of shame; God pity some faces I see! They tell of no worthy aim. I read In the faces around Every thought that lies within. Virtues all fair, or hopes profound. Every voice or secret sin. . . We chisel our thoughts In the face. Emotions paint unawares, With our minds and hearts ever trace Our jovs and our griefs and cares. It Is love", it Is hate, we write, Whatever we think or feel; It Is doubt. It Is faith, or light, Whatever Is woo or weal m. MILLER NAT WEBER ! ACADEMY I LECTURE.

If our thoughts, feelings feel-ings and acts are good we will build a clean, noble character; If they are bad the whole being will show the results f a mis-spent life, and the only way to change tho condition is to change the thought and act. The poet who wrote the following lines was a stn-dUt-of. human 4n,ire and knew that kjferybody' 'rnlxes good-and had acts, iienco all ?w the Feeds of life and ieath. Our greatest mission of life s to weed out. the seeds of dtath and build a stainless character.

In the Bible this tatcmc-nt is recorded: "Tho heart (mind) of a man hangcth his contcnance, whether it e for good or for evil, and a merry ?art maketh a cheerful countenance. I man may bo known by Lis looks and that understandeth when thou detest him." " . . . Modern scientists claim that the :iscles of the face are capable of ".owing 760 different expressions, ore, sympathy, happiness, cheerful-'-r- - arger, hate, revenge, Jeal-v, Jeal-v, and many other emotions of .e rolnd e snown m tne face when o braiOcenters, through which these notion, act( are stimulated. 1- ll?l)' cheerful life turns tho mus-U mus-U ? the Tace upward, giving a pleas-Y pleas-Y expression; sad, depressing Sughts give a downward tendency o th muscles of face, Jnvltlng pity pd sympathy rather than love and Jdmiratlon.
