IN THE HAIR.

The hair furnishes considerable sub
ject for study, and much more than
careless observers wodd suppose, says
a writer in the Washington Star. 1t
is an investigation that can easily be
made. The hair unquestionably ind-
Gates temperament and feeling, fine or
coarse, and character and constitution
Black hair accompanies what is known
as the bilious temperament, which gives
power, endurance and strength. On
the other hand. or head, possibly. light
hair indicates the exact opposite, deli
cacy, tineness, and the lighter one of
character Notice person with
auburn hair, and you will discover,
easily. that his susceptibilities are
quick. BY the same reasoning red
hair marks 4 sanguine temperament,
those who are possessed of intense feel
ings, or ardent, fiery or passionate ma
lures. As the hair is curly or inclined
that way, the emotional and impulsive
is indicated. A perfectly straight hair
tells its story to all who desire to know
it. for whoever knew one with stra ght
hair who was not of a mild and tame
nature? Those who have fine, light
hair, it will be noticed, while they can
do almost any amount of indoor work,
are not to be depended on for heavy
work. Here again they are the oppo-
site of the black-haired people, who can
endure the heaviest and hardest kind
OF labor. Sandow, the strong man has
light hair, but | don't think he would
be as reliable for heavy, continued ork
as black haired man of half his
strength.
Here is another thing to study. The
coarser the hair the more the owner of

thought, feeling, manner and action. |
do not think that any man or woman
whose hair is fine can, by any possibil-
ity, ever make great mark in public
life. Fine hair may do well for the
student, scientist or artist in Il general
way, but when you notice those who
have made the greatest marks in these
lines, you will discover that their hair
is coarse. The same rule holds good
with man and women The person

Der what they sec or hear for long
time, and have, besides, the faculty of

They are rare inventors, though they
are likely to remember more of the
points involved in inventions than in
ventors themselves. In departmental
life they are very valuable in being able
to put their hands on papers which
have long been filed away. They also

are in the Pension office, who can, when
called upon, state almost instantly the
rulings in complicated pension cases,
