How TO JUDGE CHARACTER BY
THE HAIR.-Coarse black hair and
dark skin signify great power Of
character, along with purity and
goodness. Stiff, straight black hair
and beard Indicate a strong, rigid,
straight forward character. Fine
dark brown signifies the combina-
ton of exquisite sensibility with
! great force Of chala,ter. Flat,
clinging, straight hair, melan-
choly but extremely constant char
acter. Harsh, upright hair is the
sign of a reticent and sour spirit, a
stubborn and harsh character
Coarse red hair and whiskers indi-
cate powerful animal passions, to-
gether with corresponding strength
of character. Auburn hair, with
horid couDtenance, denotes the high
est order of sentiment and intensity
of feeling, purity of character, with
the highest capacity for enjoyment
CT suffering. Straight, even,
smooth and glossy hair denotes
strength, harmony and evenncss of
character. hearty affections, II clear
head, and superior talents. Fine,
silky, supple hair is the mark ofa
delicate, sensitive temperament,and
speaks in favor of the mind and
character of the owner. Crisp, cur
ly hair, indicates hasty, somewhat
impetuous and rash character
White hair indicates lymphatic
and indolcnt constitution; and we
may add that, besides these qualities
there are chemical properties resid-
ing in the coloring matter OF tho
hair tube, which undoubtedly havo
some effect upon the disposition.
Thus, red d-haired people are notori-
ously passionate. Now red hair is
proved by analysis to contain u
large amount of sulphur, while black
hair is cOlored with pure carbon.
The presence of these matters in tho
blood points to peculiarities i'll the
temperament and feeling which arc
almost universally associated with
them. The very way in which the
hair flows is strongly indicative OF
, the ruling passions and nclinauons,
, and perhaps clever person could
, give a Shrewd guess at the manner
of the man or woman's disposition,
! by only seeing the backs of their
heads.
