Phrenology.
Philadelphia Inquirer.

M. Dumas recently delivered the fu
neral Grafton of one DesbarolIes, profes-
sor of palmisty, and in the course of his
remarks spoke of Desbarolles as HAVING
done for the hand what Gall and Spurr.
helm had done for the BRAIN If this
parallel is to be be taken seriously if is
not too much to say that the science of
palmistry must be regarded as practi-
cally extinct.
Phrenology to-day is an effete branch
of thought. We look in vain for any
mention of the word in the induces OF
works on the brain which deal with the
latest information science has elected re-
speeding the organ of mind. No one
possessing the most elementary knowl.
edge of the progress science has made
within the last twenty years, in the mat
ter Of the functions of the brain, can for
moment accord to phrenology a stable
position in the list of modern branches
and modes of inquiry. 1t is, perchance
only breaking a butterfly en- the wheel
and Staying the slain. to say so much.
But the science of Gall, Spursholm and
George Combe still survives in holes and
! corners among US in the shape of demon
stratlons by peripatetic Psychologist of
the characters" of the clients. Busts
are still to be seen and bought in which
the human head is mapped out into
| spaces af ''destructiveness," and "venera-
t1on," areas of "amativsness," form
color" Language" and so forth There
are many persons who still believe that
the faculties of human nature are all
! pigeon holed, as the phrenologist teach
ers, on the convour of the brain.
The reading of character and the con-
stltution of mind would be an extraordi.
narily easy matter were such things true
The brain, alas! is much too complex an
| organ to be so lightly disposed of. 1t
has taken the best work of quarter of a
century in modern physiology to open
the subject of brain functions, and it will
occupy the energies of many years be-
fore we are able definitely to sum up
clearly and explicitly the exact nature of
toe brains ways and works.
But what we do know of cerebral struc-
ture and action Stays phrenology more
completely than it has ever been disposed
of before. The work of Hitzig, Fritsch,
Ferricr and others has taught US the new
phrenology- of experimental sci
ence. 1t has exploded the old myths
about faculties, pumps" and brain or
half a century gone by. We are able to-
day to indicate generally how the organ
of mind works, how certain of its parts
come to the front over others, how
there should exist lower and
higher ''centers" in it's sub
stance, how one part regulates speech
and another seeing and another hearing.
In our hospitals for nervous diseases to-
day, the physician, from his study in the
work of the normal brain, is able to place
his finger on the region he regards as eff
fectsd in his patient, and post-mortem
inquiry, as we'll as evidence of other
kind, is brought into the field of research
to confirm his deductions. Looking back
to the days Of palmistry and soothsay-
ing, we see in the old phrenology, which
still survives in unlearned circles, fit &C
compartment of the Science" of bands.

The History of Shaving.
Bridgeport Courier.

The earliest reference to shaving is
found in Genesis Kill, IA, where we read
that Joseph, on being summoned before
the king, shaved himself. There are
several directions as to shaving in Levitt
Gus, and the practice is alluded to In many
other parts of scripture. Egypt is the
only country mentioned in the bible
where shaving was practiced. In all
other couetries such an act would have
been ignominious. Herodotus mentions
that the Egyptians allow their boards to
grow when in mourning. So particular
were they as to shaving at other times,
that to have neglected it was subject of
reproach and ridicule, and whenever they
intended to convey the idea of a man of
low condition and slOveniy habits, the
artists represented him with a beard.
Unlike the Romans of later age, the
Egyptians did not confne the privilege
of shaving to free citizens, but obliged
their slaves to shave both beard and head.
The priests also shaved their heads.
Shaving the beard became customary
among the Romans about 300 B. c..
According to Plinvi Scipio Africanus was
the first Roman who shaved daily
in France the custom of shaving arose
when Louis XIII. came to the throne
young and beardless. The Anglo-Saxons
wore their boards until, at the conquest,
they were compelled to follow the ex-
ample of the Normans, who shaved
From the time Of Edward III. to that of
Charles I. boards were universally worn
In Charles lis reign the mnstache and
whiskers only were worn, and soon after
this the practice of shaving became gen
eral throughout Europe.

PERSIAN ROSES.
LIPPINCoTT'S MAGAZINE

In an ancient legend, Persians say
That rose tree blooms at the gates of Day,
And once in each life be it sad or gay,
Comes the scent Of that flower from the far-off
skies,
And the heart seems lifted to Paradise,
And, OH the day that it came to mel
Tears cannot tarniSh the memory, love,
OF that moment out in the summer sea
When the fragrance fell from above
Four eyes were raised and their tender tale
Had made me forget the refreshing gale,
Till the waves were daShing over the rail,
And the clinging arms of ragged cloud
Had wrapped the sun in on inBy shroud
With the limbers straning unoer our feet,
And our faces pale in the lightnn2s glare,
We learned for the first time life sweet,
For we learned for the first time that love was
Mere.
Best was the fragrance that came on the blast,
Bright was the moment, but swiftly past
All, far too blesT, too bright to last!
For the mighty, pasSonlesB, pitilcss sea
Claimed what was dearer than life to me.
All merciless Memory, draw toy veil
Across The path Of that leaping wave
Shut from my eyes the looseued sail
And lift my heart from that ocean grave.

He Had Experienced Love.
Cincinnati TimeS-Star.

The train merrilly rolled toward Gin
cinnati this morning as though anxious
to add its quota to the city's toiIing
masses. Johnny found it a pleasant
pastlme to watch the groups of pretty
girls pose In graceful positions on the
PARENTAL portico as the train flew past.
Say, pa, does the girls always look that
nicer"
Most always, Johnny, but this is an
extra occasion, so they make extra eff
forts in the posing line"
"Why do they SO, pa?"
Simply because this is mail train,
my son.
'Pa, was you ever III love? What is
love, anyhow"
my dear, you are getting worse and
worse every day. Of course have been
In love. Everybody has been some time
or else will be. Some persons manage to
hold out very long time, but the longer
the time the more ridiculous heap they
make when they do Dome down."
Il expect that is because they get
tired of holding out so long, hain't it,
par"
Il guess so. AS to what love is, Johnny,
J. can't tell you anything about it, only it
makes man who is but a fiatboat in the
current of life rig himself out and snort
like a double-decked steamer. The
period of love is the delirious period in

A handsome women is dangerous.
A woman has neither love nor respect
for the man she can rule.
One bad woman can keep a whole

A Beautiful Lake.

One Of the beautiful sights along this

owes its existence to volcanic action, trac-

Some of the mountains that form the
background are covered with the richest
vegetation, while others are barren and
rugged, with strange, grotesque outlines.
The lake is studded with little islands.
