development of adipose tissue, on the one hand, or whether they lack a normal supply of this element, or if they be characterized by great angularity (caused by over-development of bone and a disproportion of the softer elements, such as fat and muscle), on the other hand, do not occupy positions where the wise and judicious use of means on a large scule is demanded, for the reason that their minds, like their bodies, are out of proportion; hence, the highest talent in the direction of laying out money or using material resources is lacking in these classes. Men of broad and sound judgment are never characterized by disproportioned bodies, but, like Benjamin Franklin and George Peabody, and other noted conservators, are noted for a certain degree of symmetry or harmony in their physical and mental structures. Now, unless Nature has in the first place endowed one with the possibilities of a well-proportioned body, it is not to be expected that he will develop such symmetry of body and mind as will enable him to be eminent in the management of material or mental resources. The bodies and faces of misers reveal the inharmony, disproportion, and angularity or one-sidedness of their make-up, and this one-sidedness is shown by the smallness of their ideas, the narrowness of their lives, their utter lack of influence upon their friends and in their community, and by their illiberality in every thought and deed. Most of them are narrow-minded, and all lack the social feelings which are so pronounced in men of breadth; the domestic nature is deficient, and although some of them have, at certain periods of their lives, exhibited considerable mental ability, yet the manner of their living, by denying themselves the most ordinary comforts, and living without the practice of the social and domestic virtues and obligations, proves the poverty and inharmony of their minds.

As a normal or balanced degree of Economy discloses a normal or balanced condition of mind, so an excessive amount of this trait announces a deficiency of other traits for which this is in some sort a compensation. The sign shown by a slight elongation of the bone of the chin I have observed in many worthy characters. Where this is conspicuous, it is caused by a combination of Conscientiousness and Firmness, and arises from a conscientious desire on the part of the subject to preserve from destruction any thing of any value whatsoever, while Firmness gives continuity. Now, most persons who present this sign have generally some difficulty in acquiring, for which this trait is the compensation. One may be slow in his movements, hence not able to compete successfully with the more capable. Another may have fewer tastes to gratify, hence has less mental energy to put forth in acquiring, and Nature gives as

a substitute the faculty of holding on to and storing up little by little small gains, thus preserving this class from want and destitution. I have observed characters, in whom the saving principle was most decided, who were able to earn little as compared with many others, and yet, by reason of their more simple tastes and habits, had more means laid up at the year's end than those who earned many times as much.

True Economy is not meanness nor parsimony. It is only by practicing it that we are able to be generous or benevolent. Spendthrifts are never able to give for the reason that they have nothing laid up for emergencies. Prodigals of health have never any strength to impart to others. It is only the prudent conservator of both means and health who is able to benefit and bless mankind by his strength and resources.

Acquisitiveness is not Economy. It is a distinct faculty proceeding from a distinct base, viz., from the muscular system. One may have great power to acquire and very little ability to save his acquisitions. This is so well understood that we often hear business men say, "Oh, it's all very easy to get money, but it's not so easy to keep it." Economy, in its mental aspect, is an ordinance of Nature, impelling us to store up for the future, for old age, for sickness, and all the emergencies of life. Acquisitiveness is never satisfied, while Economy derives constant gratification from every act which tends to save, by self-denial of luxuries, etc.

The primitive facial and bodily signs of Economy are most conspicuous in childhood, and are observed in the soft tissues. The mental signs, particularly the sign in the chin, are not so prominent in youth, for the reason that the mind, the intelligence, has not been put into operation, hence has made no impression upon the features; neither has the osseous structure of the chin reached its ultimate form and development. After a long course of years spent in petty cares and small savings an impression is made upon the face, and shows by very fine wrinkles lying in every direction. A well-balanced mind is able to use all its resources with prudence and judgment; this is a high phase of Economy, for true Economy wisely conserves health, and is thus enabled to bend all the energies of the mind to useful and benevolent endeavor.

Common sense in the management of one's means and opportunities is a part of true Economy, and proceeds from a development of this part of the mental equipment. Misers, and those who possess an excess of Economy, starve the body and thus weaken the mental powers, under the mistaken notion that they are saving something. A true economist provides good, nourishing food, knowing that by this course he will create mental and

bodily vigor, the source of all wealth. Good living is the best economy.

Real economists have always something to give, and love to give to those who will make a sensible use of their gifts.

Economy, large in combination with literary tastes, leads to collecting and saving books and other literary matters; with Ideality and Color large, Art objects will be the aim of the individual; with Hospitality large, foods and drinks will be gathered and stored; and, with large Caution, an almost morbid fear will lead to extra exertions in laying up supplies for future needs. The saving traits of some animals, insects, and birds are remarkable. Ants store away under ground, in most ingeniously constructed dwellings, large supplies of food for winter use. The dog buries his surplus bones, but does not make such elaborate preparations for preserving his food as many animals, for the reason that he has greater abilities and better opportunities to procure food as he needs it. The entire family of rodents, viz., the rat, the mouse, the beaver, the hare, the gerboa, the chinchilla, the springháss, the dormouse, the several species of squirrels, the mole, the prairiedog, the marmot, the lemming, and hamster are noted economists; the latter is, perhaps, the greatest "economist" of all, for his hoarding propensities are so great that as many as sixty pounds of corn have been found in the home of one of these creatures and one hundred pounds of beans in that of another (J. G. Wood). All of these creatures exhibit the sign by the narrow form of the mouth and the overlapping of the teeth.

The same providence is manifested by various birds, notably by the magpie and owl, which in their predatory excursions seize upon and bring to their nest anything of an edible nature which they can carry in their beaks, while in the nest of the magpie stores of many curious articles have been found which were quite beyond the requirements of the bird.

The black bear furnishes an example of the economy of Nature, who, by a singular provision of stored-up tissues, enables the beast to hibernate five months of the year without a particle of food, and yet it will come forth from its long lethargy fat and in good condition. The stored-up vitality of this hardy creature is, of course, the source from whence it derives its sustenance. The broad form of the bear well illustrates the principle upon which Economy is based, for the same form is characteristic of those wise and prudent men who administer economically the affairs of large enterprises, that is to say, with wisdom and prudence.

A well-proportioned face and body, one neither too broad nor too narrow, neither too tall nor too short, if of fine quality, is the

structure which will manifest the most economy. A fair development of the muscles, with a good degree of the vegetative system in combination, is essential, and these by their action and development produce a form and faculty suited to the exercise of the fine virtue of saving and using wisely. As the highest degree of reason depends upon a well-nourished body for the strength and vigor essential to protracted and profound cogitation, so Economy in its highest aspect depends also upon the power which is derived from a well-proportioned and vigorous physique.

When we arrive at the analysis of the mental aspect of "mental" traits, we have to investigate the body, and we shall find that the highest mental traits, viz., the Will, the Reason, the Memory, the Conscience, and the Imagination, are all created and sustained by the action and development of the various organs and systems within the body.

LOVE OF HOME.

Definition.-Attachment to one's domicile or residence; love of the place where one was born or reared; desire to live always in the same locality.

An excessive development of this trait is shown by those who are of mediocre talents and abilities, rather than by the enter prising, for ambition leads one far from home and over many lands; although many great-minded people retain an ardent affection for their birthplace and home of their childhood. Nostalgia, or homesickness, a species of melancholy, results from an excessive love of one's home, while forced to be absent from it.

The French are particularly distinguished by the development of the love of home and country, and if forced to reside away from it many of them suffer with longing to return. The English are noted for their love of home, yet are quite cosmopolitan in their ramblings and in the desire to acquire by conquest the homes of others in all parts of the world. The Americans are also cosmopolitan, yet content themselves with travelling to other lands when they tire of their own.

A deficiency of this faculty leads one to travel and roam from place to place. Such characters find a home in every hotel and can be happy under any roof and sometimes without one. Discoverers and adventurers are lacking in Love of Home and regard the world at large as their home.

Facial and Bodily Signs.-Fullness at the sides of the under lip, just below the sign for Benevolence, and adjoining the facial sign for Patriotism.

DESCRIPTION OF LOVE OF HOME.-Love of Home is a purely

domestic trait and is found in varying grades of development in every individual and in all races. Islanders, as a rule, are more locative in their attachments than those who inhabit continents and can roam at will over vast expanses. The English afford a good illustration of insular attachment to home, many thousands of them never having left their native country, while many more, though possessed of ample means, have never seen their metropolis, London,-while Americans, in the same financial condition, would have visited every part of Europe and thought it no more than a holiday trip.

Many races of men seem to be entirely destitute of all locative affection. The Bedouin finds his home wherever he erects his tent, and there are many persons among civilized races where Love of Home is on a level with the Bedouin. The love of home is founded in a desire for "creature comforts,"-love of eating, a comfortable place to sleep, and a domicile which affords ease,hence its primary need points to the digestive function as its source and origin. Long-continued observation on my part led me to observe its sign to be a fullness of the lower lip, just under the sign for the glandular system (fullness of the under lip), and, considering the domestic nature of this trait, I found that it was indebted to the functional action of the glands for the base of supply.

The logic which proceeds from a consideration of the location of the visceral organs and their mutual interdependence upon cach other leads irresistibly to the belief that the signs in the face of each group of faculties, as, for example, the domestic, the artistic, the literary, the practical, etc., are all so placed in the face in such manner as to mutually assist in pointing out their physiological origin and mental meanings. Time and observation on my part decided definitely the locating of all the domestic traits in and about the mouth, for the primary requirement of Love of Home is that a full share of food shall be easily obtained, without roaming abroad for it. One would, soon weary of a home in which there was lacking that first essential of life. The wild beast forsakes his lair when his food-supply is exhausted, and only returns to it when he has acquired a sufficiency of prey to bring back to share with his young, and thus provide the first requisite for a home, viz., Food.

Love of Home in its higher and more refined aspects-as seen in the civilized races-is one of the most solid and enduring traits, and serves to ennoble and purify any race or nation in which it is paramount. The Hebrew race, although without a country of their own, and withal having been exposed to the most bitter
