These sciences of phrenology and physiognomy are curious things. A man who has made them the study of his life, and who has lived in furnish ed 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 to hear If you give him another half-dollar he will tell you even more things, aud if you give him $l addi- 1 tional he will fill out a first class prophetic chart delineatiug all that you are going to do to the end of time When a man has mastered phrenology and physiognomy it is impossible to fool him, He cannot be deceived by any habits you have fallen into, and will tell you what is your nature and in- 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 Of the specialist with all due reverence.
 ''The ear" said Professor Tare, '.is always a 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 ae- eompanied by short ear which bows far back. is perpendicular and lies close to the head. 1t indicates cour- age, capacity. genius executive abil- ity and strength. It is the ear and nose Of Cesar, Napoleon, Napier. The well-proportioned ear is twice as long as wide. If 1t stands out from the head it shows humor and a love for society, books, the finer things of art. If 1t lies close back to the head it means method, business. markets. The former IS the ear of our best editors. The latter Is .he ear of our best mer- chants. The former is the ear of Holmes, Holland Joe Jefferson. The latter is the ear Of A. T. Stewart, Astor, Wanamaker.
 The smaller the ear. generally the closer in all things will the man or woman be. He will keep money and never spend it. He will not talk much, certainly will not give up se- cret He will not movo about much. and will take very little risk in busi- . ness ventures. The large ear, as rule, shows more open generous na- ture. The man with large ears will take a broader view Of life and all things in it. He will read more and remember better. He will take pleas- ure in the companionship of friends; will travel, go to theatres whether or not he can afford it and will always give Christmas presents The men and the women who have had the best time in the world all have large ears. Those who have made it most re- spoctable have had small ears They have always been conservative, and have compelled people to do right be- cause they would not recognize any other kind of conduct. They do not make mistakes themselves, and they will not permit them to be made by others.
 ! Still, if 1t were not for the people with the large ears there would be no progress in the world, no thought, no books or music or discoveries, no i splendid houses. no charity for the poor, no sense of philanthrophy. The world needs both. The men and wo- men with large ears are the motive power of civilization, those with small ears are the governors and balance wheels"
 ! ''lt Is very curious study" said an aged professor of physiology. "The small ears seem to indicate the mind of society aud the large ones it's mus cle. That is, the planning and man. agemert are done by men and women with little ears, and the larger number with larger ears do the work. The leaders have small, shapely, handsome ears. The beasts of burden have large and less shapely ones"
