Hair Botokens Successful Persons.
The hair furnishes considerable sub
ject for study, and much more than
careless observers would suppose, says
a writer in the Washington Star. 1t Is
an investigation that can easily be
made. The hair unquestlonably indl-
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,
dellcacy, fineness, and the lighter tone
of character. Notice person with
auburn hair, and you Will discover,
easily, that his susceptibllitles are
quick. By the same reasoning red hair
marks a sangulne temperament, those
who are possessed of intense feelings,
or ardent, fiery or passionate natures.
As the hair is curly or inclined that
way, the emotional and impulsiye Is in
Dictated. A perfectly straight hair tells
Its story TO all who desire TO know 1t,
for whoever knew one with straight
hair who was not OF a mild and tame
nature? Those who have fine, light
hair, 1t 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-halred people. who
can endure the heaviest and hardest
kind of labor. Sandow, the strong man,
has light hair, but l don't think he
would be as reliable for heavy, con-
tinued work as a black haired man of
half his strength.
Here is another thing TO study. The
1t is marked with individuality In
thought, feeling. manner and action. |
do not think that any man or woman
whose hair Is fine can, by any posi-.
bility, ever make a great mark In pub
lie life. Fine hair may do well for the
student, scientist or artist In 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 woman. The person
who has coarse, brittle hair-it matters
not what color, though the darker 1t
is the more strength of character and
persistence there Is likely TO be-has
careful mind generally, and is of very
observing nature. They also remem-
Der what they see or hear for a long
time and have, besides, the faculty Of
recalling what they have observed or
heard. They make successful detect
Ives. They are of special value as IL
brarians or as searchers of titles. They
are rarely inventors, though they are
likely to remember more of the points
involved In inventions than inventors
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 remember
accurately rulings, decisions and prece-
dents. | have in mind several persons
of this kind, two of whom are In the
Pension Office, who can, when called
upon, state almost instantly the rulings
In complicated pension cases, 1t mat
tiers not how long time has elapsed
since the rulings were made. Another
person is in the Postofflce Department,
who can instantly remember any of the
hundreds of rulings made In connec-
ton with the letter-carrier service.
