Hclwccn a Mrniey Makorani a fluiicy Spier. Professor Allen Haddock, of San Fran cisco, has been a close student of phrc nulogy for many yeats, and eonsiquently ol' men and women of all classes, ami he says there are unmistakable signs iu the human make-up which distinguish the aeeiiunnul.ilor of wealth from the natural born spendiluil't. He. says that when you meet an inquisitive man you will see that his head i broad, and, according to the law of correspondence, there must he a broad chest and a hardy ciusii t iiti.it). The face is full and round, in diealing a system that is well nourished, capable ofnot only resisting disease, but with a strong brain overcoming all ob stacles in bis path to wealth. It is an aggressive type, and such as be are well adapted to commercial pursuits. This is not a high moral type of brain, but of the earth earthly. You can see how wide the head is above and behind the cars at secretiveness, giving tact and policy, while the mouth is close, the lips being firmly compressed. This is not a young man that would care for books or prosy sermons, but would take an interest in anything which would pay tribute to his selfish nature, whether he should be engaged in commerce or politics. The eyes arc rather open and full, indicatiug fairly good language, but he is not communica tive, he keeps his own counsel, and would not be likely to reveal his thoughts or intentions to even his nearest friends. In his "stiff upper lip," which corrci . ponds to the rather high crown at firm ness, you can read ieteriuinalion and per severing industry. The spendthrift, on tho other hand, shows, says Professor Haddock, a differ ent type of head, it being long and nar row. His neck is loug, and, correspon dingly, the chest and body will manifest the same char ictcristies. His acquisi tiveness is small. He has little sense of money value, is wasteful and improvident taking too little thought uf riches; is nat urally a poor manager and also lacks cx oeutiveness or deslructivcncss, which gives force of character; has no disposi tion to be saving, never accummulatia wealth, hut is salisGcd to get along Ir- ui day to day without yrovvdiajj for the future. J.ii'lginy by lUe height of the crown at C;niiue.ssi he is. wilful. Ilis nose is long, but concaved, and betrays weakness. Such young men should never enter com mercial pursuits on their own account, but conteut themselves working for wanes. His face shows a lack of vital force the lower halt of the face on a line with the outer angles of the mouth is narrow. Here are located the poles of the stom ach. The cheeks an: hollow, indicating that he is weak iu digestive and assimih. livc orgaus, hence, nervous and in it able, lacks recuperative power, soon, tires out through physical and mental 'a'l0r nuu- should be engaged in sonio light work where the pay comes regularly. IM"T WAIT SO LONC. Why reserve the kind words of love until the dear one is goue and cannot hearthciu? Why not give your fiiend the flowers while they are fresh and sweet, and not wait to lay them on his tomb? While he is struggling with adversity, ami is east down by disa,ppuiutiu,em speak the words of att-cUou yarn will want to say when he lies cold on his bier. Grasp his band while it is warm with the pulse uf lite and can leel the pressure of your own When his heart is still iu death, it cannot feel j iy or sorrow, an J a friend is no nearer thau a stranger. Also! bow hitter the memory of unkind words spoken in haste, that have pierced the poof heart like a thorn, and left a paiuful sting behind!

They arc taken from the police reports of the New York Herald, and true in every detail except the names. ( Ine morning last winter a policeman came into the dell'erson Market police coiiit in charge of a stout lad uf twenty. The boy stared vacantly about him, and Ilis face, which was honest and good natured, was bloated with a long and heavy debauch. Close behind him came a lillle eld we man, dceeutly clad, Hitf hair win white and her counte nance pale and anxious. "Whu's this, officer?" the justice said, when the boy's turn came. "It's John Cleary, your honor. We've got his mother to enter complaint against him for habitual drinking We ihiuk if he had a month at the inland, it would give him a chance lo pull up." ''You can do not biug with him your f, Mrs. Cleary?" said the kindly magis trate, who, used us ho was to scctics of suffering, was stariled by iheduinb agony in the old woman's face. "I cannot, sir. It's live years since he took to drink. It's not Johnny's fault. There's four saloons near by. He was as good a boy as ever mother had. He's good now when he's himself." "He's mad when he's drunk," the po liceman intcirupted. "Ilea tried te kill her twice," "Sign the complaint, Mrs. Cleary," tho magistrate ordered, nodding to a clerk, who laid the printed form on the table before her, saying, "Write your name on that line" She took up the pen and then turned to thejusiice again. Her face was blood less. "Sir," she said, "he's all the child I've got! I've been fighlin' tho devil for him for five years. If I sign that paper I'll hev tulet him go. He'll never forgive me. He'll never come home again." "It's the only change to save him," the ufliccr said. She wrote her name, John was told to stand up. "Now go, in to the witness box," a po liceman directed her. "You must swear against him! I can't! I can't!" She clutched her breast with both hands. "It'skillin' me! Johnny come here!1 Her son sprang toward h-r but when fell at Ilis feet She was dead lifted her. "Mother, mother, I'll quit the driuk! the startled lad cried. But she did not answer. The physician said it was heart disease. An ambulance was suuikavuied. Some one whispered to tie Justice.

Ilmv a l.illk' Mav lie .Male In (in a Ureal Way. Money is to cimiiieicc and huiiiness what the blood is to the body it simply uels us a lubricant to keep iu action the financial machinery. The total amount uf money issued by the I'niled Stales gov ernment from the time ol Washington's administration to the present does not represent even a htindreillh part of the wealth of this country. The imuoiiiiI i f money which is in circulation is vastly more important than the amount of money which is stored up in bank Vaults. To he in a healthy financial coii'lilion a country must, have its money iu constant circula tion, just the same as the blood in llie body must course though the veins at a certain rapidity in order to keep one in a state of health. A $111 bill, for instance, if put away in a trunk or somewhere el-c will be for the lime being a useless thing, hut il setil out to he circulated among tradesmen and fanners and professional people it will be the means of paying hundreds and ihnusntids uf dollars ol debts. Just think what u 310 bill can do in a year, even if it be used only once a day, not including Sunday. I' cau pay ill that time debts aggregating M.nii. In illustriilii.il there is a little story which runs as follows: Mr. Brown kept hoarders. Around his tablc.sat Mr. Blown, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Andrews, the village milliner; Mr. Black the baker; Mr. Jurdau, a carpenter, and Mr. Iladley, a fl iur, feed and lumber mer chant. Mr. Brown took out of bis pockctbook a $UI note handed it to Mrs. Brown, fay ing: "Here, my dear, is $10 toward the 811 I promised you. Mrs Hrown handed it to Mrs. An drews, the milliner, sayiug: ' That pays for my new bonnet." Mrs. Andrews sai l lo Mr Jordan as she haudid him the note: "That will pay you for the work on my counter.'' Mr. Jordan handed it to Mr. Iladley, the ti iur, feed and lumber merchant, re questing Ilis lumber bill. Mr. Iladley gave the note buck to Mr. Brown, saying: "1'hat pays $10 on hoard." Mr. Brown passed it to bis wife, with the remark that that paid her f-H he had promised. She, in turn, paid it to Mr. Black to settle her bread and pastry account, who handed il to Mr. Iladley, wishing credit fur the urnoiinl on bis Hmrlnl, b v ao.iin rehiring it to Mr. Brown, with the r. mark that it settled I'm that month's board, whereupon Mr. Broivu put it back into his pocket book, (c'aiiuing that he "never thought a $111 bill would go so far."
