a New Science.

Glossomancie is a new science" in
troduced by a Miss Erbere No of Paris,
consisting of reading the character by
the form and size of the tongue.
The guiding principles are as fol-
lows: If the tongue is long it is an in
dication of frankness; if it is short, of
discrimination; if 1t, is broad, of ex-
pansiveness; if narrow, of coneentra-
ton.
When the tongue is both long and
large it implies that the possessor is a
great gossip, frank to disagreeableness.
and thoughtless. IL the tongue be
long and narrow, its owner is only half
frank, thinking as much as is uttered,
but not always uttering all that is
thought.
If the tongue be short and broad
there is promise of plenty of gossip
and falsehoods: it talks great deal
but says little Of what is really
thought.
If short and narrow, 1t Indicates deep
cunning and lying; impenetrability and
prudence This tongue belongs to those
persons always ready to make mis-
takes. but eager to inspire confidence.
