The Influence of Taurus.

signs of Zodiac and belongs to the cere-
bellum and neck. which control the lym-
phatic system of the body, that Is, the
fluids of life. Children born under the
sign OF Taurus are usually very deter
mined and unyielding. As u rule they are
bound to have their own way at any cost.
They are best suited to literary pursuits,
but are usually imitators rather than ori-
ginators. They can readily adapt them
selves to any condition of life, and are apt
to become leaders through their keen per
ception and ability To understand the de-
ma mas of the people. General Grant, Loiiis
kossuth and :. T.. Il. Morse, the electri-
elan. are among the noted men born under
Taurus. While they are determined aai
stubborn when opposed. they are easily
led by persons for whom they have aifec-
ton. This Is their greatest weakness.
They are very apt To be- misled by eyll as
sociates when young. They are liable TO
