moral deficiencies indicated by such lack of color as this peculiar combination discloses are usually accompanied by grave physiological defects. There is likely to be congenital weakness of the kidneys or of the generative system; a lack of the color-elements in the blood and tissues prevents that integrity or soundness of organization which a normal degree of color produces. The physical defects may not become apparent until the age of puberty or later, when some pathognomic crisis reveals them.

Very light, almost colorless eyes and hair and colorless or pallid skin denote weakness, generally of a scrofulous or consumptive tendency. This color is often accompanied by weakness of vision, deafness, eruptions on the skin, and white swellings of the joints, as is the case with Albinos. Those with these indications should never intermarry, as the result to offspring would be highly disastrous. The mentality of this class is never of a very gifted character. They are, from the very quality and conformation of their organs, weakly. Their minds partake of this enfeebled condition. They are generally surface people, like the pure blondes. They have little sympathy for others, and are much absorbed in the adornment of self. They can never become good colorists in the arts and industries. This type of people would soon die out if intending parents would abide by physiognomical laws, and cease to perpetuate this almost helpless and useless species.

Flaxen hair and blue eyes indicate impulse, affection, quickness of apprehension, sensitiveness, taste, purity,-if the hair be fine, and, if wavy or curly, a degree of imaginative ability. Many poets exhibit this combination. Where the hair is fine the manners will be gentle and refined, and tastes delicate. As a rule, this class does not exhibit great endurance or ardor.

Sandy hair, if coarse, denotes grossness and very ordinary abilities. If the hair be fine, delicacy of feeling and impulsive action will be exhibited. It is not usually an indication of as great longevity as the darker hues. The same may be said of all the very light shades of hair and eyes.

The dark-gray eye, in combination with black or dark-brown hair and lashes, is usually accompanied by talent of some sort, and denotes coolness, with considerable intensity of feeling and devotion to purpose. With a clear, fair skin and fine quality, the character will be refined and energetic.

Red hair and dark-chestnut eyes reveal great intensity of feeling, secretiveness, and capacity for plotting. If the quality be fine, we may look for considerable natural intelligence, refinement, and ambition; but, if the hair be coarse, strong animal passions, insincerity, and a common order of mentality are indicated.

Red hair and blue eyes (if the quality be fine) denote ardor, impulse, sincerity, purity, quick temper, ambition, and, if the hair be wavy or curly, considerable imitative talent,-æsthetic, poetic, or dramatic. If the hair be coarse, sensuality, lack of refinement, and strong passions will be exhibited. Red-haired people of every grade are aspiring and ambitious, and may be found in positions of authority, such as superintendents, teachers, overseers, foremen, and directors. There is, doubtless, more sulphur in the composition of red-haired people than in other types. It is this mineral which gives clearness to the skin and color to the hair.

Auburn hair and blue eyes denote tenacity of purpose, ardor, warmth of affection, and strong emotions; with fine quality, are intelligent and capable of progress.

Dark-red hair denotes (if fine) strength, vigor, and virtuous inclinations, with strong, stable emotions and deep affections. If accompanied by blue eyes, frankness, purity, and noble aspirations are indicated; if brown eyes are observed in combination, the character will evince more secretiveness and capacity for scheming and planning. When the hair and skin are coarse, with the above colors of hair and eyes, the animal passions will be strong, and a great deal of low cunning and trickery will be exhibited.

Yellow-eyed people, with brown, yellow, or fair hair, are deceptive, suspicious, cruel, and jealous; with dark hair, are revengeful and low. I have never observed any one with yellow or greenish eyes who exhibited great mental powers. It is a sign of inferiority, and if this colored eye is oblique in shape, like that of a cat, the disposition is tricky and treacherous, as exhibited by the Mongolian and other bias-eyed races. This class may show considerable sympathy toward others, owing to the warmth imparted by the amount of color, but it will not be accompanied by consistency, sincerity, and truthfulness. Yellow and greenish eyes are found in the most sly, treacherous, tricky, cruel, and deceitful animals, such as the panther, the hyena, the leopard, the puma, the fox, and cat.

Mixed, mottled, or spotted eyes show a mixture of blood—a crossing of two or more distinct races-within two generations. This is an infallible law of physiognomy. Crossing usually produces talent or improvement of some kind, but at the same time induces jealousy and suspicion, secretiveness and insincerity, particularly if the eye is spotted with yellow and green. It seems as if the opposing elements of the blood and tissues had not fused or harmonized. After two or three generations the eyes of offspring become uniform in color, and more trueness is exhibited.

The normal distribution of red color in the human face and body is found in the cheeks, chin, and lips, very slight in the

nostrils and eyelids, but where it exceeds a certain degree of delicacy in the eyelids it is a sign of abnormal or inflammatory conditions. The ears, also, should present a clear pink or red appearance, and, when the skin is thin and the nervous system sensitive, the ears will always appear well colored, if health be present. The outer part of the palm of the hand should present a bright-red color. A vivid color in this part of the hand is a great beauty, and, with a fine skin, denotes extreme sensitiveness to all external influences and a keen mentality. The whole of the inner surface of the hand and fingers should exhibit a red or pinkish color, and, if the skin be fine and thin, the veins at the root of the thumb will be quite distinctly traced. The extremities of the toes possess color, also the entire plantar surface of the foot, except the hollow arch between the toe-joints and the heel, which is lighter colored than the surrounding parts. Excess of color in the lips, cheeks, chin, and eyelids denotes feverish or inflammatory action, and is symptomatic of the different diseases, according to the feature in which the color is excessive. The color in the cheeks in youth is most decided in the lower part, extending in some cases down onto the neck. As age advances it rises higher, and often appears upon the cheek-bones. The great mistake which those who use cosmetics make, in applying rouge to the face, is in placing it upon the upper part of the cheek in their endeavors to look more youthful. Now, in doing this, they show utter ignorance of Nature, as well as of art, for art professes to be an imitation of Nature.

In the foregoing description of the significance of the several colors in the human race the meanings of the several forms of the eye have been omitted; they will be found in the chapter on The Human Face." The reader can make the combination of Form with Color for himself, and, like an example in arithmetic, he can" sum it all up together." Sufficient has been shown, however, to prove that we cannot ignore the fact that a defect in the chemical combination of the materials composing the human organism induces discased conditions of the several systems and functions, and, as a consequence, diminished mental activities and moral power and proclivities. Color is a chemical effect produced by a variety of causes. It is essential to our mental and moral welfare that the right proportion of color should be mingled in our food in the natural way, and that we should obtain from the sunlight sufficient of its color chemically combined in our organisms to produce moral, mental, and physical harmony, without which mankind cannot be moral, healthful, or perfectly balanced. The cultivation of the color-sense should be commenced in childhood and continue through life. We cannot know too much about Color. Let chil

dren be taught first from Nature and their every-day surroundings; then, gradually, as their minds can grasp it, teach them experimentally the scientific production of color, its use, meanings, and importance to man, bird, beast, fish, insect, and to the entire uni

verse.

SANATIVENESS.

Definition.-Sanativeness is derived from Sanative, which, according to Webster, is "having the power to cure or heal; healing; curing; having the tendency to heal." The scope of this faculty is wider than this, and means also Health, Love of Life, the natural doctor, nurse, and healer; tenacity, endurance, and good recuperative powers. Large Sanativeness gives the capacity to impart health to others by advice, nursing, and manipulation; with a good mental system in combination, natural qualifications for medication or surgery will be manifested.

An excess of this faculty is not to be avoided.

Deficient Sanativeness leads to premature decay and early death. It unfits one to cope with disease and renders one incapable of treating or healing the sick. It deprives one of a strong love of life, thereby rendering the individual incapable to a great extent of resisting disease or injuries.

The signs of deficient Sanativeness are various. The most prominent facial signs are narrow and long, thin face; hollow cheeks; small, depressed nose and pinched nostrils; narrow head and sunken temples; narrow and receding chin; a bluish, sallow, pallid, or transparent complexion. The bodily signs are shown by long, slim neck; narrow and sloping shoulders, sunken chest, flat abdomen; thin, flat muscles and small bones; long, thin, flexible, and transparent fingers. Some persons exhibit several of these signs, while others disclose all of them.

Facial and Bodily Signs.-There are many types of the human family in which the faculty of Sanativeness is apparent, but its signs are the same in all ages, sexes, and races, making allowance, however, for the differences in size and racial forms.

The general facial signs are as follow, viz., relative breadth of the forehead, full temples, breadth of face outwardly from the eyes and just below them (this is one sign of the natural doctor, nurse, and healer), high and broad nose, broad nostrils, full checks, full lips, broad chin, healthy color, clear skin, and bright eyes. The bodily signs are shown by relative width of shoulders, goodsized neck, high chest, round muscular body (or a well-proportioned one), full muscles, strong bones, and full abdomen.

DESCRIPTION OF SANATIVENESS.-Sanativeness is a term which well expresses the power for healing and the quality or state of

healthfulness. This quality includes love of life, together with a tenacious clinging to life and a determined resistance to the encroachments of disease. The same condition which causes health gives the capacity to impart health to others in several ways, among which may be mentioned intuitive comprehension of bodily states and changes of conditions and assistance by suggestion of hygienic measures, by hand-rubbing and manipulations of the body, by administering remedies which experience and study have taught

FIG. 48.-DR. NELLIE BEIGHLE. (MAGNETIC
HEALER.)

Born in America of Scotch parentage. Principal facial sign, Sanativeness. The law of the curve and straight line governs this face. This physiognomy expresses the highest degree of ability to heal by manipulating the limbs and the body. The power which this lady exhibits for diagnosing diseases may well be ranked as a "seventh sense." She seems to be a perennial fountain of health, and is probably the most gifted healer in the world. To a strong domestic nature she adds a love of art and music, her fine muscular endowment giving this capacity. Her complexion is clear red and white, and her bodily vigor remarkable, a debt she owes to the good oatmeal porridge of her Scotch ancestors. The signs for Amativeness, Love of Young, of Home, and of Country are large; so, also, are the signs for Benevolence, Hospitality, Friendship, Mirthfulness, Color, Approbativeness, Firmness, Self-esteem, Modesty, Human Nature, Analysis, Hope, Constructiveness, Form, Size, Ideality, Language, Music, Time, Self-will, Prescience, and Intuition.

as suitable, and by surgical aid, which is in some a natural gift, yet which the majority of surgeons are obliged to learn by experi ence. That surgery is a natural gift in some families is well known. The celebrated Sweet family, of Milford, Connecticut, were "natural bone-setters," and this talent was exhibited in several generations. Even the children of the family evinced a remarkable faculty for setting bones, and showed their skill, I am told, by practicing upon cats and other animals, first dislocating their joints and then replacing them as a playful experiment. Thousands of persons, without instruction, are capable of nursing the sick, and show a genuine love for this profession, and when this class of per

sons add systematic, scientific training to their natural aptitudes they are most successful in relieving and curing the sick. Natural healers (and there are quite a number of persons with this gift in every community, known and unknown) delight to exercise their healing gifts upon those afflicted with disease, by spontaneous manipulations of the body and limbs. This phase of the faculty of Sanativeness is common to many species of animals, as has been noted by naturalists, many instances being related by them of the
