Judging Character by the Hair.

Coarse black hair and dark skin signify
great power of character, with tendency
to sensuality. Fine hair and dark skin in
dictate strength of character, along with
purity and goodness. Stiff, straight black
hair and beard indicate coarse strong,
rigid and straightforward character. Fine
dark brown hair signifies the combination
of exquisite sensibility with great force of
character. Flat, clinging, straight hair, a
melancholy but extremely constant char
acter. Harsh, upright hair is the sign of
a reticent and sour spirit, stubborn and
harsh character Coarse, red hair and
whiskers indicate powerful animal pas
sions, together with a corresponding
strength of character Auburn hair, with
forid countenance, denotes the highest or
der of sentiment and intensity of feeling,
purity of character, with the highest Ca
pacity for enjoyment or suffering. Straight,
even, smooth and glossy hair denotes
strength, harmony and evenneSs of char
acter, hearty affections, clear head and
superior talents.
Fine, silky, supple hair is the mark Of
a delicate and sensitive temperament, and
speaks in favor Of the mind and character
of the owner. Crisp, curley hair indicates
q hasty, somewhat impetuous and rash
character. White hair denotes Emphatic
and indolent constitution; and we may add
that besides these qualities, there are chem
ical properties residing in the coloring
matter of the hair-tube which undoubtedly
have some effect upon the disposition.
Thus red-haired people are VIGOROUSLY
passionate Now, red hair is proved by
analysis to contain large amount of sui
phur, while.very black hair is colored with
almost pure carbon. The presence of
these matters in the blood points to pecu-
liarities Of temperament and feeling, which
are almost universally associated with
them The very way in which the hair
flows is strongly indicative of the ruling
passions and inclinations, and perhaps
clever person could give shrewd guess at
the manner of man or woman's disposi-
ton by only seeing the back OF the head.

Mr.. Stephen Pearl Andrews, of New
York city, claims to have discovered an
entirely new science, as exact and profound
as logic and mathematics, and even more
far-reaching and inclusive than either OF
them, or than any other science. He
affirms that there is, in fact, only one
science, of the principles of which all the
special sciences are merely particular mod
ihcations or instances. Heretofore, he says,
there has not been single universal prin-
ciple known in positive science; and con-
seauently science is yet in the chaotic or
fragmentary stage of its developments.
The new science is to supply this defect,
and to base all the known sciences, upon
an a priori knowledge of exact scientific
laws of universal application, whether in
the department of matter or that of mind
Upon this new science he bestows the
name of Universology," or the Science
of the Universe. As branch of it, he
also announces the discovery, and to 8
great extent the elaboration Of a new sci
entific universal language. Mr.. Andrews
will shortly publish book explaining his
discoveries.

Fallacies of the Faculty.


The stomach is the ruling organ OF the sys-
TEN. If the digestion is imperfect, every member,
every gland, every muscle, every nerve and fibre
is more or less out of order All the fluids are de-
PRAYED. The brain is clouded. The spirits are
depressed. All dyspeptics kno,0 this to be the
truth, 1t is not, however, half the truth Col
umns would be required to enumerate the pains
and penalties Of dyspepsia, nor could any pen do
them justice. Tens of thousands feel them mo
man can describe them. ~ .~.rDt
Can they be prevented? Can they be relieved?
Can they be banished at once and forever IN
QUESTIONABLE THEY CAN. No dyspeptic has ever
taken HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS in
vain. Believe no one who says the complaint is
incurable. This great vegetable SOnadcic will eradi
cate it's graduating it in thousands of cases over
which medical practitioners have shaken their
leads ominously, saying, Nothing can be
fdone." - tt--l ~ 80
The faculty has its falacies. One of them Is that
Indigestion is the most difficult of all the ordinary
ailments of mankind to combat and subdue. This
is a mistake. Nothing can be easier than to con
quer it if the true specific be administered. This
vegetable combination which has become famous
throughout the civilized world as HOSTETTERS
STOMACH BITTERS is an antidote to the disease
which has never been known to fail, and fortu
nately it is everywhere procurable. If you wish
to fool with TIE dyspepsia, try the pharmacopeia
prescription. If you want to root 1t ont and pre-
vent its recurrence take the Bitters daily. There
is no discount on the testimony in its favor If
there is q woman who has ever tried 1T for
indigestion without being benefited, the fact has
not transpired. Universal, uncontradicted praise
ayouches its wonderful tonic virtues. cht

the click slips from one tooth to the other,
otherwise there is danger of breakage OF
chains. clicks. ratchets, etc, etc. The
click chain or spring is sometimes broken
nv winding a watch too fast. When watch
stops in winding it, if in one with chain,
II is frequently by the going fuzee works
not being correct In a watch without a
chain. it nav also be by some defect in the
escapement, OF by the stop works on the
barrel being out of order; in either case
take it to matchmaker.
y Re particular never to trifie with good
watch. or use it as toy, but as piece of
delicate and complicated mechanism, re-
mirinc great care; by so doing you may
preserve your watch, and avoid great
deal of expense for repairs.
Before winding or setting your watch, it
is advisable to see that the key and the in
side of the pipe contains no dirt or dust
that NAV get on the winding or setting
square. and from thence to the wheels or
escapement.
When a watch is hung up, it should be
perfectly at rest. If hung on round
| hook without further support, the motion
of the balance will generate a pendulous
motion of the watch, and will cause much
variation in the time. Powerful watches
should never be laid horizontally, unless
placed on soft substance; if placed on a
smooth. flat surface, from the convexity of
tho glass or case, the watch only rests on
a point, and the vibration of the balance
alone is sufficient to produce motion in the
watch.
Should watch stop, see if the hands
| rub on the dial, and are free of each other
if they are caught together you may free
them yourself by taking the point of a
small knife blade, and disengaging them
your watch, if there is nothing more the
matter with it, will then start by giving it
| a slight shake.
Frequently, after the watch has had a
new glass put in, it will stop ). that is
through the glass being too fiat, and
| touching either on the centre piniOn, or by
pressing on the hands; in that case, blame
the person who put the glass in, and let
him put another in; if there is not, as in
very fiat watches, room enough for the
hands to work free of each other, it Will
often be advisable to have the cover OF the
case raised a little; in thin watches, the
case may have been pressed flat in the
centre by wearing.
Watches should be opened as little as
possible, merely to wind, set or regulate
them By continually opening them, par
ticularly in the inside cap, opportunity is
offered to minute particles of dirt from the
case, or otherwise, to intrude into the
works. I have known many. watches
which had been recently cleaned, stopped
by some small particles of dirt sticking
| fast between the teeth of some of the
wheels, particularly near the escapement.
Watches, under ordinary circumstances
should be cleaned every second or third
year at farthest. Those that are small and
fiat, OF have complicated works, require
cleaning more frequently. -Piagets 7Tea-

few years. Other things being equal, one
will be sure to make his way in more senses
than one; the other may come out right if
he be lucky, and work hard enough with
his hands to make up for his disadvantage
in working uncertainty. :.
Illustrations might be multiplied to show
the value of good weighing apparatus as
part of the farmers outfit. In experiment
ing with different systems of feeding; in
ascertaining the weight of grain per bush,
ell; in knowing how many pounds tun OF
fertilizer contains when bought from deal
ers, and in hundred ways, the implement
will more than pay for itself in few trans
actions.
The fact that comparatively so few pos
sess such an apparatus is sufficient reason
for introducing the subject to the notice OF
the Farmers Club-PraiTie Farmer.

How to Take Care Of Watches.

Always have a key with a good pipe or
square, and one that fits properly on the
square of your watch, for if it does not fit
good and firm it will be apt to slip, often
breaking either the chain, the ratchet, or
the click. If the square of your watch is
too short, or worn nearly round, get a
matchmaker to, repair it, or make new
one Be particular to wind your watch
the proper way. English watches, or
those with filzee and chain, usually wind
to the left, and almost all the Swiss ones, or
those lwith the going barrel, wind to the
right. While being wound, the watch
should be held steadily in one hand, SOFAS to
have no circular motion, which always
produces variation in the vibration of the
balance, and sometimes considerable de-
rangement in the escapement 1t is better
to keep watch continually going than to
lay it By and wind it up occasionally. The
going of the watch keeps thoaoil in a
limpid state, and the watch keeps its regu-
lation better
Always wind steadily and slowly, hold
ing on the key to hold the spring while
