have been published along with the
others. In 1NJ- Mr. Fowler received
a call from lady, who requested
him TO examine the head of her infant
and tell Ler tor what pursuits in life
he was best fitted. The professor
felt the innocent's headpiece. and
gave her the following opinion:

olence enormously developed. 1t
Is as prominent as pigeons egg.
Train up the child 10 give aims to tie
poor. He will some day be PTesI
dent Of the society for the prcVen-
ton of iudigeuce to the starving.
Madam. my fee IS ten dollars. The
woman paid the fee. first learning
the exact location Of the organ Of
benevolcucr. Returning home. she
took the head Of the child between
her hands. applied both thumbs 70
the conspicuous organ. and squeezed
it until the depression would have
held 4 walnut. The child is now
grown to mans estate. and for
twelve wears has supported his
parents by stealing.
In Cincinnati the professor was
asked to examine the heads Of some
employees. aud describe the character
of each He dil so. All were un
impcachahIe but one. OF him he
said: This is a dangerous person.
His organ of acqui~itiveness is so
