MR A.W. HOGG M.M.R.

Under the heading " Our Public Men Phrenologtcally and Physiognomically Delineated," the following reading of a portrait of the member for Masterton, appears in the last issue of Fatrhay. -This gentleman has a good combination oi the three temperaments, giving him a wellbiland'jd He combines tho l'Mcnc.Ui and the theoretical, ' the useful and the ornamental very well indeed, As shown in his photo he resembles in many respects the late Mr Ballance, or the picture of him which I have. The likenesses are all that I have to guide me as I have never seen either of the men, Mr Hogg has wide and fairlv prominent eyes, with plenty of mouth capacity, giving him good powers of utterance. He should be a good speaker, and possess an excellent memory for facts, dates and figures. Discretion and discernment are lead ing trails of bis character. The perceptive faculties are large, enabling him to estimate the form, size, and value of external objects generally. The literary organs gro well developed bringing hiji into contact with hooks, and givin *him power to remember and utilise when he reads. There is a good planning ability, the organ of Conßtruotivenes3 being large. He is executive and has plenty of business capacity. He has his impulses well under control, Steadiness of mind is a leading characteristic He has a broad head, giving him reserve force and determination of character. The social faculties Beam well developed, and there is a kindly expression of cguntenanqe, indicating "a general friendly disposition, llr Hogg has a good all-round organisation."
