CHARCTER IN HAIR.

(Household "Words,) "It is a f.iot." said the harbor, " that a better idea of dim actor is oftentimes expressed hy the heard than by the conute ntuicp. The art of reading cliniaot- r; by the heard is taught as a <.eienoe in l'a|is, under the name of ' philography,' anc| I uiiderstnnd a book is siioitly to I'c ppb lisiitd in w li : cli the principles ot (his science wi Jibe giveni yen in detail. .Did you e\ or notice that people of vciy violent t'liipu have ;d\v;>y-5 clow-grow in;' hajr? It's a fact that every man hiving i-'<js«o-siiowmj hair is the owner of a decidedly bad temper. It is ci«.y enough for met to note at n glincr Jiow a irinn's l.hii glows 'I'iicn 1 know liow to^ handle him. Men of strong tempers aie gi-iu rally \igi»ir»us, but at the same time tl^ey me not always H\e»i in their opinion-. Now the mm With coarse hair is rooted to his prejudices Coaifcc hair dcimt' " obstinacy. It's not gix»d business policy to oppose a man whose hair is eoar£e> The eccentric iivw ha* always fine hair, and you never yet .«nw a man of eriatio tendencies who at the same time had asound mind that was not refined in his tastes. Fine hair indicates' refinement You may have noticed that men engaged in intellectual or especially in aesthetic pursuits, wberf delicacy is required, ha^'e invariably fine, luxuriant hair and beam. The same men, as a class, particularly painters, aie always remai liable for th^ir personal peculiarities! The brilliant, sprightly fellow, , who, by the way, .is almost always , superficial, hns generally a curly beard. If not, his hair is curly. It's easy to bring a smile to the face of a man whose hair is curly. He laughs where colder natures see nothing to laugh at. But that's because his. mind is buoyant' a"nd riot deep enough to' penetrate to the bottom, of things. There' is a good deal of dimrence between coarse hair and hair thatjs harsh, though it requires au expert to distinguish \t. , ,For example, a man's moustache may bo us fine as silk, and yet cannot be trained to grow into a craceful carve. That's because the hair is harsh. Now people whose hair is harsh have amiable but cold natures. They are alwaya r^ady to listen, but it is difficult to arouse their feelings. In men of this disposition the hair on their beads is generally, in fact almost always, of a shade dai ker than their beards. When the beard is full, covering the entire face, the colour vanes from a dark shade near the root to red which colonrs the ends of the hair. These men have very rarely a good memory. They foiget easily, and often leave a cane or an oxercoat behind them in a bather's shop They are great procrastiuatots, and are bad at keeping appointments. Think ovei your acquaintances and see if the man who it, habitually slow has not a moustache or beard of a lighter shade than his hair. It's always the case These are the men who coma in late at the theatre and get to the station just in tiir:c to n iss the train. But philography is a science. It takes ycais to study, and observation to acquit c it. From long practice and a uatuial liking for the ait.' I ha\e attained considerable skill in discerning elnractei."

TjssTiSfJ Cows. — The recent death of Primes 11. is another w.miinir to cow t(.stei*b tint they fii-t need to know pomething of the philosophy of :tHin> nt'ition. Thin cow has been crammed like a tninij> pulpcr, or ;iuy other machine, to *r o lio'.v in noli they could jret into her .■•tori.ach. The only vvondei in that snrvned *>« long.' ifer loss is a fnit,.\)rt"uuo to the dairy iutere<.t, n-» she showr-d n wonderful c.ip.uity for improvement : but if her losi-» would c.uisc cow toti'is t<. btudy the que-tluii of dmduument by feeding, it wouM serve a great purpo-e. Thin cow stood at the he«(l of all cows known in tlio production of buttci — in seven dajs, 461b. Via/.. The Flol-fein-Frie-ian cow Mercedes, at the time- of her death, slood at the head of all cows in t lit.* ptoduclion of butter — in thiity days 901b. Go/ ; and there is. little doubt that her death was also caused by injudicious feeding-. | A Dpll. Cori'Lt:.— The ailveitisement columns of The Times are not the place where jou generally find its fun ; but last week (says a London correspondent) they contained a really delicious announcement. " Country. — A young gentleman and his wife, residing at their own beautiful place in the heart of the country (Berks), finding it at times rather dull, wish to meet with some congenial soul or souls to live with them. Even thing one can desire ; ho-ses, carriages, etc., etc. Kindly write fully." This is one of the most naive confessions of the duluess of country life that ever was penned. One pictures in one's mind this interesting young pair in the lap of luxury, sitting on each side of their Pcisian rug in the drawing-room, yawnipg, bored to death with one another, and ready to welcome anyone, anyone out of thft world.' They have had enough of their neighbours, that's clear ; nothing but a Londoner, or Londoners, (a soul or soul-j) will serve their turn. Their use of the word congenial is a mistake ; they mean genial. They want somebody quite unlike themselves to stir them up a bit "in the heart of the countn." Unhappy pair with "everything they can d<.sire," but on the hi ink of suicide ! There is something piteous about that cxpiesbinn, "finding it at times, lather dull,' 1 which touches one by its modulation. I am very much afraid that these last wet days have done for them. A Wife with Lo.nc: Nails.— From a dom« stic point of \ iew tlm subject of one's wife'.s leLitions afford, of cour.se, a .serious matter for consideration. Long nail*, for example, in some families are hereditary, and arc at least as much to be shunned as blue blood is to be desiied. At Hammersmith recently, there was a notewoithy example of the iinpoitancp of this. A husband brought up for assaulting his wife asserted that his wife came into the loom like a " ball of fire " The magfeti.itc naturally supgested that iti that ca&e he should li.ive " put her out." "She was very much 'put out.' already, your Worship," returned the husband, " and in that condition is dangerous, she has claws like an eagle." By direction of the Bench the lady diew off her gloves and exhibited her nails. "They aie certainly uncommon lon«r," said the usher. Theie was a solemn pause, and then the magistrate recommended a judicial separation. American Co's Hop Bitters are the Purest and Best Bitters Ever Made.
