These sciences of chronology ana
,pbysiognomy are curious things. A
imam who has made them the study OF
his life. and who has lived in furnish
cd room upstairs in one OF the business
streets for number OF years, can
take one look at your face or one feel
of your head and tell you in no time
more things than you ever expected
10 hear. If you give him another
half-dollar he will tell you even more
things. aud if you give him 81 addi-
tional he will fill out first class
prophetic chart delineatiug all that
you are going to do to the end OF time.
When man has mastered phrenology
and physiognomy it is impossible TO fool
him. lie cannot be deceived by any
habits you have fallen into, and will
tell YOU what is your nature and ln-
tent, whether or not that is the thing
you may have happened to develop.
The writer knew all this beforehand,
and so when he started out to inquire
about ears and what they meant when
they meant anything, he entered the
rooms O: tho specialist with all due
reverence.

always reproduction of the nose.
The back line of the ear, from top to
lobe, forms slightly curved parallel
OF the top Of the nose from the point TO
the brow. The character indicated in
one is always the same as that in the
other. Your eagle nose is always ac-
companied by short ear which bows
far back, is perT endicular and lies
close TO the head. 1t indicates cour-
age capacity, genius. executive abil-
ity and strength. 1t is the ear and
nose OF Caesar. Napoleon. Napier. The
well-proportioned ear is twice as long
as wide. If it stands out from the
head it shows humor and a love for
society, books, the finer things OF art.
If it lies close back to the head ii
MEANS method, business. markets. The
former is the ear of our best editors.
The latter Is the ear OF our best mer.
chants. The former is the ear Of
Holmes. Holland. Joe Jefferson. The

Astor, Wanamaker
THE smaller the ear. generally, the
closer in all things will the man OF
} woman be. He will keep money and
never spend it, He will not tall
much, certainly will not give up sc
: cret. He will not move about much
and will take very little risk in bust
r ness ventures. The large ear, as 9
l rule, shows Il more open generous ma

things in it. He will read more AM
remember better. He will take pleas
ure in the companionship of friends
will travel, go to theatres whether o

and the women who have had the hes
time in the world all have large ears
