Waterbury evening Democrat., 1893-03-21

much brilliaucy of intellect, versatility of talent and general fertility of mind.
 Looking at one or two of the upper and frontal angles of the head it almost suggests the form of a bccchnut. But it is well rounded out in the occiput, or that portion which in the typical woman extends backward from the car like the poll of a hammer. In this region Mir. Jefferson has especially strong love of offspring. This faculty produces not only regard for ones own children, but, in combination with other feelings, it creates ulSOa fOndncSS for domestic ami malls and, indirectly, colors the mental life in various ways. For example, it often lralS to d study of natural his
 Y. botany, etc. It is an important rlrnCnt in the character of the model tea her. also that class of bcncfactOrS of which Henry Brr1h was an illustrious representative. Its influence is very noticeable ia the writings of Burns, Dickens and IngcrSoll. Among actors, Brrnharlt, Sol Smith Russell and Jo EAmct all showed it; and much Of Mir. Jc1fcrson's wonderful pathos in the characters of Rip Van Wrinkle and Caleb Plulnr2cr is due to the same trait.
 Mir. Jefferson is also grcgarious, but somewhat exclusive in his attachments. His conjugal affection is strongly indi- catcd by the depth of hlS ccrebellum and the prominence of his chin, but it l is characterized by the utmost refine l m~nt and dclicacy. This is evident l from the form of his lips and eyelids. The diameter of the side head little above the cara is only moderate, which | bctolicns deficiency of the selfish in stincts- Especially is this true with re l gard to the twin propensities of Gcquis- | itivc1Css nnd secretivcness-thc i'm l pulses to horde and hide. However, the 1 head widcns near the top on a line with | the cars, at caution; hence he may save | money from motives of prudence. There | is also an aversion to battle and blood | shed. He is not such a coward as Bob l Acres, but he would much rather settle his difficulties by arbitration than war. | Still, he is far from being Q weak char astcr. On the contrary, he is exccp, tionally determined and steadfast. He has great will power, and cannot be driven. He yields only when he finds
 he is wrong or for the sake of some ono
 he loves. This quality of frmness is very easy to estimate, as rule. It is
 shown by the mesial height of the head
 at the summit of the "auriculo
 brcgmatic" line. This is drawn per
 pcndicularly from the opening of tho
 ear to the bTegma, an anatomical land
 mark on the top of the skull. All mer
 noted for in1exibility, such as Grant
 Conlllng, Cleveland and Bismarck
 have well developed heads in this re
 zion.
 Mir. Jefferson has very little order
 but superior linguistic talent, grca mirthfulncss and suavity, remarkable
 memory, great power for specific ob
 scrvation. fine literary taste and gen
 eral ability to gather all kinds of knowl edge that can be expressed by vers
 and concrete nouns. Impressions O
 physical details arc received in his brai1
 with the fidelity of a photographer
 camera.
 Taken all together he has rare per
 sonal gifts, purity of sentiment and
 character of which Americans ma well be proud
