Black hair which is wavy and curling and very thick shows force of affection and a certain ardour in love matters and so also does a thick and crisp-textured black beard and moustache. The lank, thin, and uncurling black hair is one of the signal ures of Saturn the crisp, curling, and thickly-growing black hair is the combination of Vantis and Saturn. The united influenop of these | two p'anets on a life give force of character, for the warmth and impulse given by Vunus is tempered by the distrust of Saturn into prudence thus people with the crisp dark hair get the ardour combined with prudence which produces success in life. Chestnut I air of a soft and silky texture, and not very thick, gives romance of character; This is not the sort of hair wliich is ever seen on very common-place, realistic persons. This tint of hair, crisp or curling, and growing thickly on the head, and with a thickly-growing beard, also of crisp or waxy texture, shows joviality and hospitality, and both women and men of this colouring are fond of society, have a good deal of go in them, and an immense amount of confidence in themselves. It is essentially one of the signatures of Jupttfr; it indicates pride and generosity of character. Avaricious people never have hair of this colour- ing. Golden hair of a soft, pale gold, without undula- tion, shows gentleness and tenderness, but no force of character. Men having this sort of hair are somewhat efftminate in their tastes, and are wanting in energy and decision. Both man and women having this pale, floss-sitk sort of hair are incnpnbleof strong affection; they are attracted by the opposite sex, but they are more given to having a series of srnali interests than one strong love. If Lite hair is found in combination with golden-coioured eyes, it is indicative of coquetry in the nature; if with pale blue eves we have kngour and caprice—a sentimental but inconstant person. Bright golden hair of a rich, deep colour, and of a crisp Aftd waving texture, growing thickly on rhe head and somewhat low on the brow, shows an ardent, poetic, and artistic temperament. It is the signature of Apollo—the sun. Such people are generally fond of music, painting, or poetiy. Both man and women having this Bolt of hair are intuitive in their judgments; they do not reason about thing*, they feel them they are a little quick of temper, and are easily ruffled, but they are quickly appeased they are gay, and interest themselves ia art, evtn it tiiey xre not artists themselves. Persons with red hair are ardent and vivacious, e-=peciMl!y if with it they have hazel eyes, in which ca.<e thry have a bright and quick intelligence. They have [a great deal of natuxal facility for study, and good memories. Red hair with blue eyes shows the same warmth of character, but not so much intelligence; and if with blue eyes and red hair the eyebrows and eyelashes are white—as is often the caso-it is an indication of a weak and capricious nature.. Pe3ple with red-brown hair, which is very thick, and redder over the ears and at the temples and in the beard than on the head, are courageous and hot-tempered. This kind of hair (unless the other indications in the face are widely different) shôWi! activity and energy in all things. It augments:flre indications of force and power given by foaturee, and in part this sort of hair gives sense of colour in painters, force of language and eioqueoot in po. ta, and power in musical composition. r Hair of that colourless fair colour or aslt- coloured denotes persons of an indolent and dreamy temperament. It is the indication given by the dominant influence of the moon at birth. Persons with this sort of hair, in combination with large blue-grey eyee, with fair, long, but sti-ai-lir, eye. lashes, and very slightly-defined eyebrows of the same blonde colour, and white, soft skin, nro capricious, languid, imaginative, and somewhat melancholy. Women hairing this sort of colouring of skin and hair are romantic and devoted in a resigned, but not active, spirit-thnt is, tliev are more generous in words than in deed; foi- they are incapable of exertion, and still less of perseve- ranee. Persons with soft, long hair of a dark brown, so dark as to be almost black, yet nnt that blue-black which is essentially melanclwly, are aff.jclionat- ge:.t'e, and loving. Their first instinct is always good and kind. They like society, and are not. quite so indolent as those having soft, ash-coloured htdr-indictiltive of the moon's influence—they are stdl lovers of repose and comfort. People with this soft brown hair art very open to the impres- sions of beauty, and they abhor noise, discords, and quarrels of all sorts. Men with this sort of hair, like those with pale, golden hair, are irfirne- what effeminate, and easily moved by tears. CKANIAL CAPACITY. (Reply to S. P.") There appears to be considerable difference of opinion on the question of the size of the head and intellectual capacity, but those who contend that there is no affinity between size and intellect have the best of it. It h.13 been pointed out that, while some of the greatest characters in history have had large heads, othgrsi equally famous have had small ones. As With heads, so with brains. There seems to be a deep-rooted opinion that themore intelligent nations havo heavier brains than the semi-civilised or savage tribes. But there is really no truth in the statement. Investigations have shown that the brain of the Chinese and Pawnee Indians weighs more than that of the Italians and that there i* but a very small difference between the Frenchman's and the Zulu's brain. This ought, I think, to be conclusive evidence that the size of a man's head or the weight of his brain has very little, or nothing, to do with his intellectual capacities.—J. B. SAMUEL, Dowlais. M.D." is good enough to supply the sub- joined extract from the British Medical Journal: "BxamiottMn of the critnial capacitr, from which a rairlj Accurate am roxipnation of tha siz, of tho brain may be diawn, has shown that in the civilised European the fizo of the brain is considerably higher than in savage races, not only as an average, but in individual case", and that the variations in the former ruces are much greater than in the latter. A series of observations on the size of heads of students at Cambridge Uuivetsity recently published are of great interest, and show that. the size of head of those whr'\ obtain high honours is considerably larger than that of the oiainsiry students at tho same age, while tlia remainder of the honours men occupy all inter- mediate position as regards size of head. Mr. Lo Bon, in a very valuable pnper, has been able, by means of examinations of the registers of a hatter, to ascertain the size of the head for tiata; of a large number of persons in various social positions in Ftai.ce. These he divided into nve classed, and fuund that the rela- tiva position occupied by each class with raspect to size of head was as follows, beginning with the largest:—1, men of science and letters; 2, mer- chants; 3, nobles of ancient family; 4, domestic servants; 5, peasants. Titeso various and inde- pendent observations show that there is a direct relation between the size of hrad and brain on the one hand, and intellectual jreility on the other, wlit,in applied to a number of persons collectively, but in the present state of our knowledge trust- worthy deductions cannot be arrived at with respect to individuaIEl." Jack" (liegelly) would bo glad if the readers of the Weekly Mail would be good enough to give their experiences of the benefit derived from the use of the aurophone or other aural appliances.

From Stroumnitza comes the news of the death of a centenarian, a Turkish woman, 119 years of agp. In the reign of Sultan Mahmoud this lady had been employed in the Imperial harem, retiring afterwards to Stroumnitza, where a pension of 500 piastres per month lias been served to her since that time. Mr. Miner, tho manager of the Fifth Avenue Theatre, New York, has been trying to secure the services of Mr. Irving and Miss Ellen Terry for 200 nights. They ara asked to bring a company, and to appear In Irving's repertory and two new plays. The offer made by Mr. Miner was 200,000 dollars, and a guarantee against all expenses. Mr. Irving cabled the following reply :—" Impossible." Mr. Miner has just mailed another offer, which he hopes will be successful. Much sympathetic interest has been excited by the mysterious disappearance of Mr. L. A. Shuter, of Vale Mascal, North Cray, Kent, the father of Mr. John Shuter, the well-known captain of the Surrey County cricket team He hAS been mlSBlng for over a week, and, as he had a considerable sum of money in his possession, it is feared that he has met with foul treatment. Neither his wife nor family are aware of any reason for his absence from home. A reward of £ 50 has been offered for information as to his whereabouts.

Dreadful Pottinger's Holiday.

Dreadful Pottinger's Holiday. He wasn't half a bad fellow, Dreadful Pottinger (when he was sober). That man Pottinger must have had originally the con- stitution of a horse, or he'd have been dead long ago. I only knew him professionally, as his honorary medical adviser. When he was very bad indeed, you know, his landlady aent for me; of course she took an interest in Dreadful Pottinger, as does every one who has the honour of his acquaintance. Pottinger was a hack writer, a devil, a substitute—I was going to say a penny-a- liner. He is a universal genius, you know; I think there's nothing he oouldn't do if you only give him "something on account." "Pots, ole man," I heard a fellow say to him, "there's a big function on at the Portioo to- night and I can't go—a new play by Bouncer. Do you mind doing it, old fellow, for me, and shooting the stuff into the Swaggerer by mid- night?" "Ill jump into my war-paint at once, dear boy," replied Dreadful Pottingor. Honour bright, and no larks miud," said the other man, and then Dreadful Pottinger gave a dreadful wink, laid his dreadful finger to his dreadful nose, and disappeared. Now Dreadful Pottinger was fearfully hard up then; he always is fearfully hard up, for the matter of that; and yet the man never even thought of offering to pay Pottinger—Pot- tinger would have been angry indeed if be had. And Pottinger was always obliging fellows; he would give them hints, or rhymes, or dates, or quotations, or authorities; or he would read their new novel in the the proofs thus," as he put it, "oarefully removing the sting from the tail of that literary toor- pion, the professional critic." And Dreadful Pottinger's friends paid him in gratitude and drinks. I happened to be sitting in the Cannibals after the midnight of that big premitre at the Portico; in walked Dreadful Pottinger disguised." I say disguised" because I don't want to hurt your feelings. You can guess what he was disguised in (five Scotch whiskies and a heavenly smile). Pottinger dropped into a seat at my side. Eveningsh," he said politely, staring at me with lack-lustre eyes. Did you do Bouncer's piece ?" I asked. "Did I do Bouncer's piece?" he growled out. "Didn't I? J gave the beast beans, I gave him toko." Well, you've slipped out of your dress kit pretty rapidly, anyhow," I said. You must be a sort of quick change artist." Dress kit)* tsaid Dreadful Pottinger, in a hoarse stage-whisper. "Oh, mamma! why, I haven't got a dress kit." If he hadn't "been disguised Pottinger would have died rather than confess this; but in vino vetitas, you know, and I suppose it's much the same with whisky and water. It How the deuce did you do the piece P" I said. Do it ?" said Pottinger. "I did it from the shilling gallery. I supped, sir, upon the Swaggerer and upon that fraud Bouncer. You know Biggs, the sausage man ?" I shook my head. Not know Biggs!" cried the astonished Pottinger. Good fellersh, Biggs. I met Higgs, the sausage man in the Strand, Regular toff, you know; quite the lardydar. Full war-paint, big diamond lolitaire—all made out of sausages," groaned Pottinger. Don't talk to me of art; don't talk to me of litera- ture give me sausages. I want to go to the Portico to-night, Pottinger,' said Biggs; 'and they're booked full up, and they won't let me in for love or money.' Poor devil I he wanted to see Bouncer's piece;. he ivanted to see it, sir. Well, I gave him my ticket, and I said I'd sup with him after the play." And now you know exactly the sort of man that Dreadful Pottinger was. It was about a month after this that be called upon me in Harley-street for my professional advice. I'm very bad, doctor," he said. I'm done I've got to the end of my string, and I leave for Italy to-morrow; but," he said very cheerily, strange to say, I'm in funds. I've fifty quids, fir-fifty golden quids I congratulated him but the poor fellow looked very bad indeed. I came by that fifty pounds this morn- ing," said Dreadful Pottinger, in a very queer way. I got 'em from Ghoul and Scorcher. I went there to hand in the cor- rected proofs of The Feast of Blood,' a thousand worder at fifteen guineas. I always make it guineas; though half a guinea a thousand is blood money, regular blood- money, as I told Ghoul. But you had it in advance, my boy,' said Ghoul with a chuckle; and so I had, so I'd no right to grumble." 1 Now Dreadful Pottinger obtained his awful sobriquet because he was well known to "the trade" as a prolific producer of "shilling shockers or dreadfuls." Sometimes they were in his own name, sometimes they were anonymous; sometimes, I regret to lay, some- body else got the credit, such as it was, of Dre.dM Pettinger's >If stuft," and, lor the rest; of his or her life, strutted about inlNJuowed plumage. "Those Ghastly Stains," by Lady j'irmyntrude Golightly, was really written by Dreadful Pottinger. I mention this in the strictest confidence; don't repeat it. You're not fit to go to Italy, Pottinger," I said "yon want rest and quiet and lea air. You must go to Margate for a month, Pottinger, and turn teetotaler." PotAw er groaned. I've signed, and I've got their fifty quid for expenses, and I've got to deliver the stuff this day month. I can't go back from my word," he said. The cities of Italy have got to be visited, old man, and described in seventy-five thousand words, by yours truly." Yoa'd better give them back their money, Pottinger," I said; the heat and the work and the vibration of the railways combined, in your present state" and I held up a warn- ing professional forefinger, will polish you off, my Pottinger. Italy in July! For a man in your condition, Pottinger, means ser- tain death. You'll have to give them back their money, Pottinger; that's the long and 40 short of it." Give 'em back their fifty pounds cried Dreadful Pottinger, and his face becime almost purple with excitement, "Give it back to'em! I'll see 'em further first." Then he began to describe his symptoms. He told me that the pattern of his inexpres- sibles kept corkscrewing up into his waistcoat. Well, you can fancy the rest of his symptoms -they were those of incipient D.T. I wrote him a prescription I warned him-' Margate and abstinence is your only chance,' I said. Old man," he said, a little solemnly, the sheriff's officer shall not pass my lips for thirty days to steal away my brains! Is that good enough ? Let's shake hands on it." We did shake hands on it, and Dreadful Pottinger, looking very shaky indeed, left my oonsultmg-room. Pottinger's gone to Italy," said Bouncer to me a day or two afterwards when I looked in at the Cannibals, pointing out a short para- grapn in tne Acropolis under the head of Literary Notes. I read the following :—" We understand that Mr. Pottinger has proceeded to Italy, commissioned by the well-known firm of Ghoul and Scoroher, where he will produce a work, upon new lines, on the Great Cities of Italy." I hope he'll never come back," said Bouncer. I don't think he ever will," I replied. I' It was about a month after this conver- sation when Pottinger walked into the smoking room of the Cannibals, looking as brown its berry and as fit as a fiddfo. Hulloa, Drugwell, my boy P he cried in a tremendous voice; how are you ? You saved my life, you know; upon my word you did. WhatH you have?" I didn't want to hurt his feelings, so I said I'd have a Scotch whisky. Pottinger called the waiter and ordered a Scotch whisky and a cup of black ooffee. Pottinger was wonderfully changed; he was wearing a noble suit of tweed-a six- guinea suit at the very least; and he looked far more like the lover on a valentine than the Dreadful Pottinger of a month ago. "I've been to Margate," he said in a whisper, and it did me a power of good." I thought you'd been to Italy," I replied in astonishment. I saw the preliminary puffs." "Oh yes," said Pottinger a little sheepishly, it exactly-oh, I've been to Italy too, you know," and there was a merry twinkle in hit eye. Awfully hot in Italy," he said; mos- quitoes you know, and tarantulas, and Roman fever, and all that sort of thing. Pontine Marshes—Pontine Marshes take it out of a fellow in July. It was killing work," said Dreadful Pottinger. I preferred Margate. I delivered the stuff this morning, sir," said Pottinger; "and real good stuff, too, it is, with a fine mellow Italian flavour about it of gorgonzola and garlio and melons and lazzaroni, and all that sort of thing you know. Gad! when the public have read those articles of mine they'll fancy they've been there. Ghoul's delighted-so's Scorcher. Scorcher gave me a cigar; he gave me a cigar —and, strange to say, it wasn't half a bad cigar, either." And do you mean to say, Pottinger, that you've had a month in Italy, and have written seventy-five thousand words ?" I have a wonderful flow of language," replied Dreadful Pottinger, enigmatically. Pottinger," I said, leaning back and making myself comfortable, unfold thy plain unvarnished tale, literary fiend that thou art." Well," said Pottinger, with a laugh, "I, went to Margate, and I took to the strict teetotal lay and I swallowed that beastly medicine of yours, and I rested for a whole fortnight. hen I went to Italy." Oh, you did really go ?'' I said. "Of couae I did—in the spirit, I saw Italy -in my mind's eye, Horatio! That is to say, I got a few of Ouida's novels, and pictures of Italy, from the circulating library. I got Romola' and the eighteenpenny edition of 'The Lays of Ancient Rome'; I bought a seoond-hand Murray and a second-hand Baedeker for eighteenpence a piece in Book- sellers'-row; I got a Continental Bradsbaw— there's any amount of stuff in a Continental Bradsbaw then I hired a shorthand chap at a guinea a week and his grub, and I did the entir«eventy-five in a fortnight. I feel as if I'd been there Hang it, I have been there; or was it but a dream ?" He added, in a more tragic voice, Was my Italian journey but an unreal fancy; a wild imagin- ing? No." I talk of drMef, Which are the children of an idle brain, begot of nothing but vain fantasy; Which is as thin of substaiooe as the air But there's nothing thin afetrat the 'stuff;' it smells of Italy and orange-groves! I made the shorthand chap copy it oui. en cheap foreign note paper on purpose J" Since the "Cities of Italy caine out Pot- tinger has got on in the world; be is known as the great Mr. Pottinger now, and he is a good'deal duller and heavier than he was when I knew him as Dreadful Pottinger. They are about to put him up at the A-m; they'll probably elect him there by adoration, as they do the judges and the bishops. I shall never have a chance of getting into the A m. I hate humbugs, particularly suc- cessful humbugs. What a humbug that fellow Pottinger is And what a successful humbug, too. That's where the nasty jar comes in!—St. James's Gazette.

FIRES IN BEDROOMS. Three deaths have occurred in 'Norfolk from the inhalation of fumes emanating from coal or coke fires in bedrooms. One case happened at Bridg- ham, where a young labouring man, aged nineteen, named Arthur Holmes, was fouud dead in bed by the side of his brother, who was asphyxiated. The fatality was due to the fumes arising from a pail of hot cinders which had been left in the bedroom overnight. The two other deaths occurred at Little Cressingham, where a. married couple named Goddard, aged respectively 36 and 47, were dis- covered dead in their bedroom. In this case a pail I. of coke bad been burning in the apartment during the night, and had produced suffocation.
