The new postal bill, which
became a law just before the
session of Congress closed,
makes some changes in the ex-
listing postal regulations, which
are OF general interest. The
most importantis is the authoriz-
alton of one-cent postal cards
for correspondence or for print
ed circulars, similar to thosN
which were introduced in Great
Britain nearly two years ago,
and are now in use in nearly
all European countries. The
lace OF the card will bear a one
cent stamp, and will be provid-
ed with lines for the address,
and the back will be ruled for
the letter. The price of the
card and stamp will be only
one cent. }F
The postage on circulars
newspapers and other transient
printed matter, which under
the old law was two cents for
every four ounces or less, is
now one cent for two ounces or
less; small circulars which for
merly cost two cents to mail,
can now be sent for one cent.
TKs change is now in force, the
law being immediate in its ef-
,fects. '"''s ~

We hear of a young lady in
one of our Public Schools, who
has made a complete reversal
in matter of corporal punish
ment. When a pupil has vio-
lated the law of the school, in
stead of flying into a passion
and "founcing the young one,'
she mildly gives the refrac ctory
pupil the rod, and commands
the culprit to whip her. This
is a sumner to the pupil for to
take a rod to so gentle d lady is
to the bad girls a severe retail
alton for their misdeeds, let
alone errant lads, whose chiv-
airy is painfully tasked, lleven
with their intensest efforts to
deal mild blows.-Iraaton Reg

Hair as an Indication of Char
actar.


Curly hair denotes a quick
temper.
Frizzly hair, set on ones
head as if each individual hair
were ready to fight it's neigh
Dor, denotes coarseness.
Light Auburn denotes intel
ligence, industry and n peace
full disposition.
Coarse, straight black hai:,
denotes a sluggish disposition
with but little ambition, aud a
love of ease, with a disposition
to find fault and borrow trou-
BILE.
Black hair, very little inclin-
ed to curl, with a dark COM
plexion, indicates personal
courage, especially when one
is concerned with a wonderful
decree of pertinacity, and a dis
position TO hang on until what
ever is undertaken is accom-
plished.
Red hair, if straight, denotes
ugliness, and a naughty dcmi-
neenng disposition.
Light red hair, given some
what to curl, if it be fine rath-
er than coarse indicates ambi-
bition, but deceit, treachery,
and a willingness to sacrifice
old friends for new ones, or for
personal advancement.
What is called sandy hair in
dicates a jovial disposition
without much energy or power
or calculation for bargains.
Such persons are good fellows
content to work for others
more than themselves.
Brown hair denotes a fond
ness for life, a friendly disposi-
ton, ambition, earnestness of
purpose, and reliability, in
friendship In proportion as the
hair is fine.
Light brown hair, with a clear
skin, is a very certain indica-
ton of courage, am bition relia-
bility, and a determination to
overcome obstacles. Nearly
all the best business men of the
country have this kind of hair.
The finer and more silken the
texture, the finer the organiza-
tion, and the more touchy and
infamable the disposition. II
such hair be straight and fine,
1t indicates an even disposition
a readiness to forgive, and de-
sire to add to the happiness OF
others.
Persons with fine light brown
or auburn hair inclined to curl
or friz, are given to resentment
and revenge.
Light brown, inclined to red
ness, with freckled skin is
certain indication of deceit
treachery, and a desire to do
something mean to a friend,
when the friend can no longer
be used to advantage.
Straight black hair, crisp and
glossy, indicates a great power
of endurance, Indifference to
danger, and a strong predispo-
sition 10 revenge wrongs or in.

Hair that is inclined to
