PRACTICAL EARNOLOGY.
TIE Possibility Of Reading Character by
the shape Of the Ears.

Tie Possibility of Reading Character by
the shape Of the Ears.
Much of the observ alton is, of course,
,, rs yet tentat i've and uncertain. But OF
| the contour may freely say that l am
convinced by every one of many keen
observations that the man whose upper
ear projects and bends forward is in
variably one who is very tractable, OF
DESTROYS of learning, or very diligent.
Such would be the qualities indicated
from his habit of attending or giving
attention to what passes around him.
He is quick to learn, easy to train, pro-
vided his hand is delicate and facile
enough to do what is required of him
on occasion.
On the other hand, the man whose
ear buttons back to his heads close
to the skull in its tip and posterior
margin, evinces opposite qualities. He
is inattractable, inattentive, needless;
he is accustomed to hear, it is true. but
not to mind what he hears; to allow
peoples cruel, witty, wise and tren-
chant sayings to 60 by unobserved.
Nevertheless, such a man may be ham
died by reason of his being unobserv-
ant. A good many excellent public
servants have such ears, and must
habitually be unobservant of many
things, since so many uncomfortable
things encompass and engage them
that they would become quite miserable
were they to heed them all.
ho =. ~ Al
bulent, intractable man, who breaks
out occasionally in an original vein,
and who has his days and hours of I'M
easiness. The ear bounded in its SUI
perior margin by a curved line is that
of the quiet, easy, amiable man.-PAre-

Terrible Ravages OF q Hurricane.
