It 18 popularly believed tbat it one s
eyebrows meet it Indicates ' deceit.
Charles Kingsley indorses this belief
but Tennyson has other idem and poet-
ically speaks of "married brows."
in Turkey meeting eyebrows axe
greatly admired and the women use
artificial means to bring the brows to
this condition and if art cannot induce
thin eyebrows to grow they make np
by drawing a black line with paste.
It would appear that the Greeks ad
mired ' brows which . almost met. and
the fashionable inhabitants of Borne
not only approved of them but resorted
to pigments to make up the lack which
sometimes existed.
Some proverbs atat that the person
whose eyebrows meet will always have
good luck while others state exactly
the reverse. The Chinese say that
"people whose eyebrows meet can never
hope to attain to the dignity of a min
ister of state and in Greece of today
the man whose brows meet is said to be
a viympire. while in Denmark and Ger-
muny it is said he is a werewolf.

Gov. Oreea McCartlan'a Views Favors
bjr tte Interior Departmeat
Muskogee I. T. Feb. 7. The
views of Gov. Green McCortian
of the Choctaw Nation regarding
affairs in the Indian Territory are
said to be meeting with much
favor by the Interior Department!
at Washington. His plan for
schools in the Indian Territory is
for the United States to collect a
tax from non-citizens and put the
fund thus raised with the school
funds of the various tribes to be
used in supporting joint Indian
and non-citizen schools which all
may attend together. " This he
says will bring the whites and
Indians in close contact and Ls the
only practicable solution. He is
opposed to the leasing of pastures
for grazing purposes and thinks
that all pastures of more than
one mile square should be vacated.
He is f or winding up the tribal
government at the earliest possible
moment and wants the United
States to settle all claims due the
five tribes and allot their lands
giving to each allottee a perfect
title. He is for a state composed of
the five civilized tribes and not a
territorial government with it3
complement of "appointed officers.
