ding and methodical. He will go
through the world and perform his
work after the fashion of a wedge
rather than an augur. He is not over
stocked with superabundance of pa
thence, will want to cleave his way
through difficulties, will take the
shortest cut to a given point, employ
the most powerful machinery, and as
a general would rather risk all in one
grand cavalry charge than to depend
upon skirmiShing. Sharp shooting at
long range would not suit his fiery dis
position. He must have double-edge
sword and get within touch CT the
enemy. He is excitable to an extreme
degree All those organs that give
force, dash and impetus to the will are
abnormally large, and as these are well
nourished by an abundance of rich,
warm, arterial blood that flows quick
ly and easily to the base of the brain,
he will have great difficulty in con;roll-
ing his feelings, and may not always
succeed even when he tries.
1t is singular that both his tempera-
ment and organic development combine
in making him, under certain condi-
tons, extremely irritable and explo-
sive. He could become exasperated to
the extent of wanting to exterminate
everything that seems to be inimical
to his wishes or that threatens TO fruS-
trate his plans. He is apt to display
wonderful ffuency of expression on
these occasions, will leave no room for
doubt as to his meaning, but there is
considerable more thunder than light
ming. Like a straw fire, the amount of
blaze is out of all proportion to the
heat that is generated, and it dies out
as rapidly as it ignites. These tropical
showers do not last long, though they
may be terrific for the time being, and

you can see what is done, but you
can't see what did it. There is no real
spite or venom in his words, he does
not bear malice, he has no desire to in
jure anyone, and would really forgive
those who had injured him. This is
another of his peculiarities and goes to
prove he is, all unconSciouSly to him
self, man of extremes. He will al
low others to impose upon him. Not
withstanding his positive character, his
reserved force and volcanic determin-
alton, he has sympathetic, benevolent
nature that will make him an easy
prey to the plausible tale of the schem-
er and the SnareS of the money shark.
To be courteous, agreeable. sympa-
thetic and generous is his usual and
normal disposition. This. is the natural
bent of his mind. and whenever any
other traits are exhibited that are at
v
either his words, acts or looks do not
comport with the utmost kindness, be-
nevOlence and sincerity, we may safely
conclude there has been some prOVOca-
ton to arouse one or more of those
mysterious elements in his nature and
that, being temporary, it will soon pass
off. The gentleman should be put on
his guard against imposters. His large
benevolence, that is clearly indicated
in this cut, and which imparts sympa-
thy and feeling for others, renders him
too impreSsionable, and having only
moderate. self-esteem, anyone can stop
him on the street or even walk in his
office without knocking He is very
sensitive to praise and to censure. and

more nor less, would be very apt to

class he should be on the lookout for,

His first impulse is to give when
ever solicited, but fortunately for him,
caution is large, and this, working with
his love of property, also we'll marked,
will cause him sometimes to hesitate
from prudential rather than selfish
motives. The desire to accumulate
wealth and the desire to distribute it
being about equal, will often have this
singular manifestation: He would give
a hundred dollars without a murmur
at one time, and at another debate
over a trifle. 1t is one of his weak
nesseS to be too easily persuaded, and
