Zoraster was, says Suidas, the founder
of astrOlogy amongst the Chaldcans.-
Hostanes transmitted it to the Egypt
ians, and they transferred it to the
Greeks. BerOsus, whose predictions
were almost always accomplished, used
astroIogy for divinatiOn. DiOdOrus of
Sicily and Porphyry believed in astrolo-
gv. They relate that the Egyptian
priests had discovered the influence of
the stars on the human generation, and
uDOn all that which should occur fgOOd
or evil during existence. From those
suppOsitiOns, they concluded that all
which we believe depends upon our will,
or upon our determination, is bound with
the movements of the stars, and that our
destiny is written upon them.
LycuTgus and NenOphOn never under
took anything without consulting the
stars. The former forbade the Spartans
to give battle when the moon was on its

Clever Women.

There iSan unaccOuntable antiDathy to
clever women. Almost all men profess
to be afraid Of blue stOckings-that is, of
women who have cultivated their minds
and hold up a maxim, that there is no
safety in matrimOny, or even in the or
dinary intercourse of society, except
with females Of plain understanding
The general idea seems to be that a dull
ordinary woman, or even a fool, is more
easily managed than a woman of spirit
and sense, and the requirements of the
husband ought never to be obviously
inferior to those of the wife. If these
propositions were true, there would be
some show of reason for avoiding clever
women. But I am afraid they rest on
no good grounds. Hardly any kind of fool
can be so easily managed as a person of
even first rate intellect; while the most
of the species are much more unatracta-
bic. a dull fool is sure to be obstinate;
obstinate in error as well as in pTOpriety;
so that the husband is every day provo
kGd to find that she will fully withhold
him from acting rightly in the most tri-
fling, and perhaps also the most impOr-
tant thing. Then the volatile fool is
full of whim caprice, and utterly defies
every attempt that may be made bv her
husband to guide her Alright. In one
case his life embittered for days, perhaps
by the sUIkiness of his partner; in the
other, he is chagrined by the fatal cOnse-
qUenCcs of her levity. Are these results
so much to be desired, thata man should
marry beneath the rank of his own un-
derstanding, in order to secure them ?
I rather apprehend that cOwaTdice in
this case, as in most others, is only the
readiest way to danger. AS for the rest
of the argument, 1 would be far from
saying that to marry a woman much SUI
periOr to ones self in intellect, is a di-
rect way to happiness. Imust insist,
however, that there is more safety for a
man of well regulated feelings, in the
partnership of a superior than of an in
feriOr woman. In the former case, Il
verify believe, his own understanding is
likely to be more highly estimated than
in the other. In the first place, he is al
lowed the credit of having had the sense
at least to choose a good wife. In the
second, he has counsel and example al
ways at hand, for tthe improvement of
his own appearances before society.
The very superiority, however, of his
wife, insures that she will be above
showing off to the disadvantage of her
husband; she will rather seek to con-
ceal his faults, and supply his deficien-
cies, for her own credit. Now, what
sense n fool has, she must always show
it, even though sure to excite ridiCUle
from its being so little.

this time got pretty well spread all over
the ground, and for some time, WhcT-
ever two or three of the foxes tried to
fasten to a tree, they quietly came to
grief, and some of the party brought
them down on the wing. The exciting
state of affairs lasted until a little past
noon, when the call sounded of come to
the camp The call was quickly cOmpli-
ed with, and ample justice was done to
the eatableS provided. After half an
hours rest, away we started, and now
they grew fast and furious. The foxes
were completely tired with their unUsU-
al exertiOns of the morning, and would
only fly from tree to tree, and in many
instances from one side of the tree to the
other, and all that the spOTtSmen had to
do was to load and to fire, which they
did as fast as their guns would allow
them, many of them having to apply
wet handkerchiefs, to their guns, which
they rubbed to keep cool, being afraid
that they would blow the powder off
while they were loading; but it would
be impossible to give yOUany idea of the
shooting done for the next few hours, or
of the wild enthusiasm which was felt by
nearly all the party; but like every other
endowment and excitement, even that
must come to an end; and shOrtlybefOre

"Oh, gracious me-" screamed Mrs.
Hopkins, hell kill Frank, I can see

wanted to have a finger in the pie, and
with a huge copy of Shakespeare she fell
to beating poor Hopkins on the back.
"YOu stole my clothes, you dirty

War News in Former Times.

The following statements are copied
from a paper recently read by Thompson
Westcott before the Press Club of Phila-
delphia:
Before the Revolution, when the mail
between New York and Philadelphia
was transported once a week, and Occu-
pied two days in a travel, and coming
down to so recent a period as twenty
years ago, the transportation Of news
was a slow process. News that the
Stamp Act was repealed in England on
the 18th of March, 1866, was received in
Philadelphia on the Goth of May in the
same year, having been eight weeks IN
crossing the ocean. The battles Of Lex
ingtOn and Concord were fought on the
18th of April, 1775. 1t was not until the
24th, six days afteTward, that the imper-
feet intelligence Of those engagements
arrived in Philadelphia.
On the 18th OfOctOber, l7S1, Cornwall
lis surrendered to Washington at York
town; but papers at Philadelphia did
not receive the news by special aid-de-
camp until November 24th. On the 24
of December, 1914, the Treaty of Ghent
was signed. At the present time we
might know of such event on the day
upon which it tTanspiTed. Even the
ocean steamship Service if it had existed
1914 as it does now, might have brought
the intelligence across the water in time
to have prevented by the assistance of
land teIegraphs, the battle Of New Or
leans, which was fought fifteen days af-
terward. But the news Of that treaty
was not received in this country until
the 18th of February, 1915. Even in
Philadelphia, the news Of the baltic of
Sth Of January was unknown until Feb
ruarv 9Th an interval of nearly a month.

To Judge Character BY the Hair.

COARSE black hair and dark skin sig
nifty great power of character along with
purity and goodness. Stiff straight,
black hair and beard indicate a strong,
rigid, straightforward character. Fine
dark hair signifies the combination Of
exquisite sensibility and great force OF
character. Flat, clinging, straight hair,
a melancholy but extremely constant
character. Harsh, upright hair is the
sign of a reticent and sour spirit, a stub
born and harsh character.
Coarse red hair and whiskers indicate
O strong animal passion, with cores
pOnding strength of character. Auburn
hair, with a fiOred cOuntenance denotes
the highest order Of sentiment and in
tensity of feeling, purity of character
with the highest capacity for enjoyment
or suffering. Straight, even, smooth
and glossy hair denotes strength, har-
mOny and evenness Of character, hearty
affections, a clear head, and specular
talents.
Fine silky, supple hair is the mark OF
/ a delicate, sensitive temperament and
! sDeaks in favor of the mind and chaTaC-
| ter of the owner. Crisp, curly hair in
! dicates a hasty, sOmewhabimpetuOus and
rash character. White hair indicates a
Iympathic and indOIent constitution;
and we may add that besides these quail
! tiles there are chemical properties resid-
| ing in the cOlOring matter Of the hair
| tubes which undoubtedly have some eff
| feet upon the disposition. Thus red
haired people are nOtoriOusly passion
ate.
Now red hair is proved by analysis to
contain a large amount Of pure sulphur
while black hair is cOlOTed with pure
carbon. The presence of these matters
in the blood point to pecUliarities of tenn
perment and feeling which are almost
Universally associated with them. The
verv wav in which the hair flows is
strongly Indicative of the ruling passions
and inclinatiOns, and perhaps a clever
person could give a shrewed guess at the
manner of a man or wOman's dispOsi-
tions by only seeing the back Of their
heads
