Significance Of Hair.

Hair parting naturally in the middle, anC
falling over the temple, as it generally doei
in women and sometimes III men indicates
the feminine element ; in man symmetry
and beauty of soul-genius Of certain
kind, which implies the feelings of the wo
man combined with the thought of the man
1t is very common characteristic among
poets aud artists, as seen in Homer, Virgil,
Shakespear, Milton, Goethe, Dante, Raphael
Titan, Handel, Mozart, Tasson, Chaucer,
Keats, Burns, Hoffman, Longfellow, anc
others. In pictures of Christ, and in Other
exalted, highly refined and beautiful char
acters, this popularity is always introduced
by the artist. e.r-.-.. POEMS.
Sometimes the hair, on rising from its
bulbs, turns in irregular rings On the fore
head giving an open air to the physiogno
my. This indicates good nature as we'll as
exuberant vitality. Crinkled aud wavy,
and close curling hair indicates vivacity and
excitabilitv, if not brilliancy.
Regular curis symbolic ideality. and
when only part of the hair is worn in curls,
are instinctively disposed over the organ OF
that faculty.
Straight hair may be said to Indicate iD
a straightforward honesty of purpose, AS
we'll as clear head and good natural
talents.
The darker the hair the more robust the
body, as . general rule aud the coarser the
skin and tissues of the body but some,
times the hair and skin are at the same
time, dark and fine.
The dark haired races are physically the
strongest, but less endowed intellectually
than the fair haired. The first are more
inclined to manual labor aud active exercise,
and the last to mental exertion. The dark
races are workers. the light races thinkers,
poets, artists ETC. S
Black hair indicates strength and pre-
dominance of the bilious temperament as
in the Spaniard, the Malay, the Mexican,
the Indian, and the negro.
Red hair is a sign of ardor. passion, in
tensity of feeling, and purity of character.
and goes with the sanguine temperament,
as in the Scotch, the Irish, the Swede the
Dane, etc.,, etc,
Auburn hair is found most Frequently in
connection with the lylnphatc tenpera-
ment, and indicates delicacy and refinement
of taste, and, if the mind be cultivated, fine
moral and intellectual power. 1t is com
mon among the Germans, the Danes, and
Anglo Saxons ........
Dark Brown hair combines the strength
of the black with the exquisite susceptible
ties of the light hair aud is, perhaps, all
things considered, the most desirable.

PROF VoELoKER ON MAKING CHEESE
One of the greatest faults of cheese makers
is in the application of heat. Many use too
high heat The lower the temperature that
can be used, and the more uniform or even
it can be applied, the better flavor will OBJ
tain to the cheese. Another point of i'm
portance in cheese making, and one not
generally understood, was in relation to
the whey. 1t should be drawn off, got rid
of, just as soon as possible, or as soon as
consistent with the necessary operations
The reason he gave was, that you could
never tell what matter you had, or what
you were dealing with in the whey. 1t
may contain taints of the worst character.
You cannot well determine the degree of
its aeidity, and hence great risks were run
in sleeping the curd for long time in the
fluid He would prefer to draw the whey
as soon as is possible from the curd, and al
low the curd to undergo its proper change
and arrive at maturity-heaped up in the
bottom of the vat -

RAISING POTATOES UNDER STRAW On a
recent trip in st. Clair County, ILL.,, we saw
hundreds of acres of land covered with
straw. The ground had been plowed and
narrowed and marked off, and potatoes
dropped, and then the whole surface, cover
ed about six inches deep with straw The
potatoes have no further attertion till dig
gng time, when two or three hundred
bushels per acre are obtained. The straw
keeps the weeds down, and the soil cool
and moist. The straw is raked away in
autumn, and there lie the potatoes white
and clean. the straw potatoes bringing the
highest price in market-Rural World.

Whence the benefit of unbearing draught
horse when going up hill Because the bead
can then be thrown into its natural position,
and materially assist by its weight in draw
ing the load If it is beneficial to loose the
head at that time it must also be so on
other occasions. Look at the elongated
mouths of the unfortunate animals thus so
wantonly abused, torn by the bit in their
unavailing efforts to overcome the truly
baTbarous instrument. What produces that
dreadful disease, poll-evil, but the actions
of this cruel strap, constraining the head
during the violent exertions of the animal
producing inflammation and liberation of the
point upon which it articulates with the
spine Poll evil, so generally supposed to
originate from blows inflicted on the part,
is attributable alone to the gagging rein.
never saw horse used entirely for the
saddle attacked with this infection. In or
der to obtain momentary relief from the tor
ment inflicted BY the check on the poll
and mouth, the poor creature is compelled
necessarily to toss up his head.
The effect of the check-reins is shown
whenever they are taken off. Horses may
be seen tossing their heads necessarily, al
though jaded, painting, and developed in
steam Surely the poor creatures would not
thus exert themselves in state of great ia
tigue if some greater distress were not af
fecting them. 1t is the agony of the snews
under the neck and throat which, being
strained so long, ache as if mans arm
were kept in painful position. Horses
which have done their work without tie
check reins, when taken out of harness stand
with their heads down, breathing freely and
in comparative comfort. In London the ON
nibus drivers have lately abandoned the
use Of the check-reins.
