Character Indicated by the Hair.

Auburn hair means kindly, sym
pathetic nature.
Straight hair indicated more power
to govern than curly hair.
Curls denote a feeble sense of right
and wrong, gayety, yivacity, self con.
fidence.
Straight hair, growing coarse and
thick, indicates more order and in
dustry than mental power.
Fine brown hair only accompanies
excellent minds; generally the owner
has intellectual tendencies.
Red hair is strongly characteristic
No half way business there. 1t usu.
ally indicates quick temper, though
there are exceptions.
Beautiful golden hair is rarely seen
on persons of gross nature. Its owner
loves fine arts and possess exquisite
sensibihties.
Hair and eyebrows differing in color
are said to mean untrustworthiness
They indicate race mixture, and be.
speak a wavering, unsteady nature.
AS rule, smooth, fine, softly wav-
ing hair betokens gentleness. quietness,
neatness. Unduly sleek hair gives
warning of slyness, hypocrisy.

Bought Seat In Car.

1t sometimes takes the Southerner
who comes to live North good while
to get used to Northern ways. This
is especially true in connection with
his casual relations to the negro. Most
Southerners have strong liking for
the negro who conducts himself be-
comingly, and the liking is reciprocal
ed; but old customs still hold good
down South, and, as verybody knows,
the black man is held to be vastly in
ferior to the white. no matter how low
in the social scale the white man may
be, and Northern customs are some
times obnoxious.
A six-foot-two VirgiDian, accompa.
MED by a. woman, got on a Market
street car. There was no seat and nc
offer of cne. Nearby was colOred
man, whose right to his seat was as in
oontestable as that of the white broth
ers. But the Virginian seemed an
moved. He shifted his big frame from
one foot to another and looked mean
| ingly at the offender; but the coloret
man did not seem to notice. Then the
Virginia had happy thought. HI
took dime from bis pocket, prOfferet
it to the negro. and said simply, in
matter-ot-fact way: "Here, wan
your seat for this lady,"
The cOlored man rose to the occasion
without a word. Whether he wOult
have done the same for Northern
man, even if the Northern man ha'
known how to 60 about 1t, is anothe

The Small Kindness.

One day last week the New work
Times carried a rather unusual card
of thanks. 1t was from gentleman
who WAS thanking an unknown friend
for having mailed letter for him. 1t
seems the writer of the card had lost
an unstamped letter from his pocket
The unknown friend picked it up, and,
surmisipg that 1t had been lost, very
considerably attached stamp to the
envelope, and it WAS delivered prompt
ly 10 the addressee Itdeveloped that
it contained valuable enclosures. and
its prompt receipt saved the sender a
| lot OF trouble.
In reply TO the caId of thanks, the
| finder of the letter wrote few lines
| He stated briefly that it was but little
trouble to him, that he could afford
| the two-cent stamp, and that it gave
him pleasure to think that be was &C.
commOdating someone, even if he new
er expected to see or hear of the party
accommodated.
Men have been knighted for less gall
liant acts. Such things-such accom-.
modations-night be expected In rural
communities, but in busy New York,
where every man is supposed to live for
himself alone, the incident was so un-
usual that there have been several col
umns written about it, and 1t serves
for text for this little preachment.
1t is the small kindnesses that count.
1t only happens once in lifetime, and
not even in all lives, that a man can
do really great kindness, or big
kindness, to human being, but there
is not day in a year when anyone
cannot do a small kindness. There
are but few men in the world who could
afford to give people he met million
dollar presents. but there is no one who
cannot give the right of way to a pass
er on the street, or seat in a Car to 6
weary woman, or a pleasant word to 6
boy, or a crust of bread to bird

worth living. 1t is not the million
dollar gifts. 1t is indeed doubtful if {
gift of a million dollars would be
kindness. 1t would be pretty apt t.
destroy happiness. for the average rul
of people would not known what to d.
with it.
Anyone would do great things, If h
could. 1t would be great thing t.
save the whole human race, and ther
is not one of us who would not gladl
save the world. But because we ca
not save the world is no reason why w
should not try to save part of it. Be
IcAuse We caunot give happiness t
. whole communities is no reason wh
