There has recently been a marked revival of the "phrenology" hunbug, and charlatans are coining money by exatimining people's' "bumips" and dlraw Ing Iherefroin analytical conclusions in regard to their talents and traits of character, reinarks a writer in the Phihlelphia Ledger. The cleverest fakers in this line spe.. clalize III the alleged study of pyi. ognomay ats indleative of psychie traits, etc. This sort of thing "goes" wonder fully well, inasnuch as the average person is n'ch interested in his own face and in what it may be supposed to express. Physical anthropologists, however, are flimn in asserting that there is nothing whatever ii tile idea. There i no essential relation between the features of a hiumniai inlividual and his charnteter-beyond, of course, the fact that disposit ion and teiperiaiment may and coninnonly do so modify the muns cuiar structure, especially about the notlh, as to relder the expression in dicative. Thi, for examiple, a sour teiilier or a crafty habit of inid will show Itself in a person's face more and inore ats lie grows older. A prominent hiin does not necessar fly signify firinness of character; nor whiien exaggerated, does it mean bru tality. Story writers nowadays teach us that eyes set "too close together" indleate slyness antd meanness. There is no inore truth in that idea than in the notion that a big nose suggests generosity. Where beauty of feature Is con cerneI one inight say that it depends fundanentally upon the shape of the skull mask. A woman's skull is more lightly constructed than that of a man, and even the texture of its bones is more delicate.
