Language Of the HAIR.

Harrisburg Telegraph.
All of our features have their LAM
guare-eyes, nose and mouth. And now
some one discovers that even the hair has
its own indications.
Straight, lank, stringy looking hair in
dicates weakness and cOwardice.
Curly hair denotes quick temper.
Frizzly hair, set on one'shead as ifeach
individual hair was ready to light its
neighbor, denotes coarseness.
Black hair indicates persistent rssOlu~
ton in accomplishing an object-also
strong predisposition to revenge wrong
and insults, real or fancied.
Brown hair denotes fondness for life,
friendly disposition, ambition, earnest
ness of purpose, sagacity for business, re-
ality in friendship, in proportion as the
hair is fine.
Very fine hair indicates an even d1spo-
sition, readiness to forgive, with desire
to add to the happiness Of others.
Persons with fine light brown or au-
burn hair, inclined to curl or friz, are
ouick-tempered, and are given to resent
ment and revenge.
Light brown hair, inclined to rednessp
with freckled skin, is said to be 9 cer-
tain indication of deceit, treaehery and
disposition to do something mean by q
friend who can no longer be used to ad-
vantage.
All of which may be news to fortune
tsllers.

A Man of Cheek.


He was man of cheek, and he gener-
ally gained his end whenever he was per-
mitted to enter house. While travelling
about the city he wandered into a house
in the southern part of town, where sOr-
row evidently reigned. The lamp-man,
finding the door open, walked right in,
and then found poor woman in tears,
with friend or two trying to console her
for the loss of her husband, who lay dead
in the same room.
''Can L sell you my new patent lamp
burner, ma 'am ?'' said the vender.
''No, sir,' replied the woman, between
her sObs, ''I don't wish anything of the
kind.''
"Please let me explain its beauties,
ma'am," he said, "and Pm sure you'll
take one. You see this
But don't want it, sir,'' she said; ''I
wish you would go away. Don't you see
my poor husband lying here? Leave me
with my sorrOw.''
"Oh, yes'm, and l sympathize deeply
with you, ma'am. Excuse me, can't
keep back these tears. Oh, ma'am, if you
only knew what great consolation these
patent lamp-burners of mine, are, OH such
occasions as these, you would not be with
out one a single minute. Why ma'am
put one of these in his hand, and it would
light him through all the dark regions h,
has to pass through, without any trouble
and when you come to die he would hol(
the lamp for you when you go to ascend
the golden stairs.''
And that precious scoundrel kept on ir
that strain until he had sold half a dOzel
to every female in the room. Yes, he wa
a man of cheek.
