ON HATS.

A lecture was recently given on " Hats." The speaker, who was a phrenologist, argued in favor of a man betraying a character by the way in which he wore his head gear, and doing so, he demonstrated that those of a bellicose turn of mind placed their hats on one side of their heads (the soldier for instance), in order that the hat might touch the most actively developed part of the brain—namely, that of combativeness. The proud man, too, he continued, would naturally wear his hat well on his forehead resting itthusupon the apex of the parietal bones beneath which lay the organ of selfesteem. And, continued he, the benevolent man, the persons who loves his fellow-creatures, the being who delights in acts of kindliness, wears his hat on the back of his head in order that it may rest on the upper portion of the frontal sinus, where is situate the organ of benevolence and generosity. When the audience left the hall, twothirds of them had suddenly betaken themselves to wearing their hats on the extreme back of the head. Scarcely a man was present who had not set up for a generous, benevolent, highminded, individual on the spot.
