Mans characteristics.

Men betrav their real character in a
thousand different ways. The profess
sors Of the art of delineating DISPOSE
tiOns do so in various fashions. One
artist will undertake to describe char
acter from the examination of Il photo
graph. another reads indications of
taste and feelings in hand writing;
nay, an American savant has recently
announced that much may be learned
regarding man by observing how he
wears his boots. Every one has some
small peculiarities which. to the ac-
curate observer, may furnish IL clue to
his disposition. There have been
manifold instances of strange and in
convenient resemblances between men,
leading to causes of "mistaken iden-
tity, and yet probably in every in
stance there was some tritling and
overlooked personal trait which dis
tinguished one DromiO from the other.
If alike in features they differed in
dispositions. 1t is difficult, if not i'm
possible, to stifle the manifestations
Of personal traits. Countenance or
voice may be trained and disguised,
but a mans identity will reveal itself
in some gesture, or glance, or trihing
action which betrays his real self to
the accurate observer.
! Authors, of all people, find it diff
cult to conceal their identity. As Hans
Andersen remarks, every author has
some pecularity of style, which, even
it he publishes anonymously, enables
those who know his works to cry out
''There he is again - 20 persons who
have risen in life, the trifling peculiar
tiles acquired in their original sphere
become sore trials when they them
selves are translated into a loftier po-
sition. They are always obliged to be
on their guard against some familiar
phrase, some trick or gesture which
betray> their plebeian antecedeDts

be wholly eradicated. OF all the char
r acteristcs those which mark social po-
sition are the most difficult to eradl-
