SOMETHING IN BUMPS.
The Art Of the PhrenOlogist Founded on
Common Horse Sense as Well as
Experience.
A Few Skulls and Charts, Some knowledge
of Human Nature and Experience

From a Twenty Ffve-C Cent Ex-

The Female Head--Courtesies to
strangers Not Always Given--A
Scientific subject.

To be sure there is something in phrenol-
ogy. 1t not only stands to reason that
those parts of the brain that are most
vigorously worked should swell up with the
continuance of practice until they cause
slight bulgings in the skull just as the
muscles of the man that puts up the dumb
bells three or four hundred times every day
swell up into little knots that you can see
them through his shirt sleeves; it not only
stands 10 reason but it could be proved, and
has been. 1t usually cost a quarter to get
from the timer ant phTenOlogiSt complete
diagnosis of your mental condition, or if he
draws you diagram this will add dollar
TO the cost. l once paid a quarter
to a man who had in his entire
kit seven plaster skulls, six blank charts,
long gray beard and lots of gail, for
the information was that was not partic-
ularly reverent. and that if l went into bust
ness for myself had better start some kind
of wholesale house. He said my natural
aptitude fitted HE TO manage a large whole

and said that he was a destructive sort of
man, and as there was positively an excava-

he had hardly veneration enough to last

Hard Times, SO.called,

Some of our farmer friends think
that cotton is very low, while goods
are high, and times are very hard.
1t is pretty rough, but our fathers
seemed to live very well, when goods
were much higher and cotton was
about the same as now. For instance:
We have before US a receipted hill for
goods sold here in February, 1842,
which shows that calico was then 45
cents per yard, indigo 25 cents per
ounce, and bleached domestic 37$ cents
per yard. At that time, cotton sold
at 8 cents, corn 67 cents per bushel
wheat 81 .25 and iron bars S61.25 per
ton. In 1915, cotton sold in this
country, in January, at6ve cents per
pound. The trouble is, We spend
about twice as much money as our
fathers did for things which we dc
not need, while we waste too much
time in grumbling. If we'll all work
harder, grumble less and spend les;
money fOolishly, times will not be hare
at all. Let us try it.
