Earth Peace, Good Will Toward Men." PERFECTION The perfect head measures
twenty-five inches in circumference, and i~ a perfect sphere, being full enough in the health points to make perfect beauty and harmony. The only way to restrain faculties is to cultivate others, and entire attention must be paid to each organ or group of organs to develop them. Every defective point causes discord, from which results more or less misery,

The most important development must be attended to first, or, in other words, there can only he upward growtn by commencing at the root or underlying principle. ^Nature loves balance, and excessive developments are necessary for protection against existing evils. Remove the cause and .Nature will right herself. " Water seeks its level," no higher, no lower. Health is the first and absolutely necessary condition for improvement, and as that is greater or less, so will there be more or less harmony. Food contains the elements which are necessary to health and activity, and it can only be digested and appropriated by the body

when

it is

in certain conditions.

Diamonds, charcoal, sugar, butter, whitewheat flour, molasses; lard, fats, rice, and the principal ingredients of cakes and pastries are almost eytiiely composed of carbon or heating material. Of these articles, diamonds and

charcoal are incapable of digestion fats, &c., are very hard to digest, while sugar is digested rapidly. None of these carbonaceous foods will sustain active lifeThe slightest action causes waste of muscular tissue and nerveforce, the elements for supplying which are not

all the elements necessary to average degree of mental and physical activity but the proportions sought for in food must depend entirely on the expenditures of force, whether physical or mental, or both. By reference to the accompanying table, and the adoption of the wheat-grain as a standard, a properly proportioned meal may probably be selected from the average private or boarding-house bill of fare. This table was selected after the author had carefully consulted the works of Liebig. Foster, Draper, Bellows, and others, and represents food in its natural or raw state, the proportions of which are frequently changed by cooking or mode of preparing. Chemical analysis of the brine in which fish

tains

itself

 17
or meat has been prepared show that it contains the soluble phosphates necessary for supply of nerve or brain force, which have been dissolved and extracted'by the chemical action of the brine. Soaking articles in water often deprives them of their soluble properties, which makes them almost worthless as articles of food. Grain grown in different climates often contains different proportions of nutritious elements, which fact explains the slight variance in the tables of proportions arranged by different chemists. Meats are shown by the table to contain the life-sustaining elements in fair proportion, but its carbonaceous elements are in the form ot oil, which partially resists the action of the saliva, which % necessarily impedes digestion, causing the food to pass through the stomach until it reaches a position where it can be acted upon by the pancreatic juices of the second stomach before it is thoroughly digested. The stomach can contain but a limited quantity of water, and soups, according to their watery consistency, fail to supply the amounnt of nutrition necessary to an active life, and their rapid passage is apt to deprive them of the benefit of the saliya Oat-meal and milk, mush and milk, bread and milk, and, indeed, all soft foods, should be classed with soups, and should not be eaten except with some solid food, as bread, which

 18
requires action of the jaws, necessary to induce proper flow of saliva. When the saliva is not used it ceases to he secreted. Teeth decay for want of proper exercise and attention. The effects of alcohol, opium, tobacco, tea, and coffee are injurious to the system, and perfect development demands their absolute
a,

disuse.

There is an essential difference in the proportion of the elements of the meat of stall-fed animals and those which have their liberty. All fruits in common use are nicely proportioned in their raw condition Some and most of the present methods of preserving impair their value. The carbonaceous elements of fruits are already in the form of sugar, into which starch and oil are turned in the process of digestion. Raw fruits have rare medicinal value. Business disasters, death of friends, and other sorrow-producing causes, are almost immediately followed by loss of appetite and derangement of the system through sympathetic actionFruit, being rapidly digested and assimulated, and the most solid fruits being entirely capable of sustaining life, and abounding with waste material, so necessary to open the sys-*
tern and keep it clean and active, will be found, with proper nursing and rest, to produce better results than any disorganized elements which may be taken as medicine. ihe effects of cold, from which arise yio&t

Notes. This table was culled from the more extensive table in A. J. Bellows' " Philosophy of Eating/' There are two ways of proving the qualities of food one by chemical analysis, ami the other and most reliable, by individual experimenting. I have tried the latter and found that it agrees with the former.

Physicians give in disorganized condition what should be sought in organized forms in Organized food is Nature's method, and food. that to which the system is adapted, and a deviation from that method is attended with more or less risk, which should be avoided. A. J. Bellows "Philosophy of Eating" is the most thorough and comprehensive digest of the food question the author has yet seen, and which he recommends to those who wish to know more of this most important of all subjects.

Chemistry is yet in its infancy, and we shall have to wait for future discovery to teach us the best food for " The Coming Man, "probably u Monadnoc's " gift, prophesied by Emerson

Second, The reduction of Phrenology to a mathematical science new chart Third, Fourth} The rearranging of the faculties in groups of live and Fifth, Substituting for the word ct Phrenology " the word u Astrology," as more appropriate for the " star-system. These changes, with a general reduction of the truths taught in Phrenology to first principles, showing the relation of the faculties to harmonious development, has necessitated the changing of names, which gave the opportunity of dispensing with long technicalities. There can only be but one reason why a science, so important to the welfare of each individual as Phrenology is, should be s:>. generally misunderstood as it has been, and that reason is that it lacked simplicity. Dr. Gall was the founder of Phrenology, and located and named a number of the faculties. Since that time his followers have made additions and changes but a trustworthy standard, as a gage of perfection by which all heads might be studied and charts marked, has never before been produced.

23
chief differences or iinprovemenients the author in this new system of mental science, are I. The association of Individuality, Form, Size, Weight, and Color, with the added faculty, Relation, under the head u Facts." The definition of Individuality is knowledge and memory of things of Form, forms Size, sizes Weight, relation to the perpendicular and Color, colors. The four latter merely deal with some of the qualities or components of the former, the rest of the qualities of a thing being detected by the senses of feeling, tasting, smelling, and hearing, which need the perception of their relation to a thing. The function of Relation is also to perceive the relation of each to all. nice development of this faculty can be seen in the pictures of Emerson and Goethe. harmonious development of all these points is necessary for a quick and correct perception and memory of facts. II. The association of the faculties known as Eventuality, Locality, Time, Tune, and Language, under the head " Memory," which em-

little thought will show that the memory of events and localities is made up of the memory of a number of associated i repressions received through the eyes or other senses.

 24
The regular heart-beat is the human timekeeper, and its impressions, with the other means of determining duration, associated with figures, lettem, words, objects, sounds, &c, are probably the basis of time and tune. Sound means nothing until associated with words, time, objects, &c, and then it mean tune or language. remember verbal language from forms of letters, their association into words, and the association of words into sentences, as well as by the sound made in pronouncing and the length of time taken in utterance. All impressions being received through the senses, and meaning different things according to their associations, it is very difficult to analyze the sources of these memories. Every faculty of the mind probably remembers the ideas relating to its special growth, although not remembering from whence came the first impressions, which are remembered by the vaiious faculties which first received or sprung from the impressions, full development of " Facts" is most ea scntial to an excellent memory, as the separate memories of qualities are so many aids. memory of associated ideas, without memory of the facts which are the primal and only source of growth, can be attained from books and teachers, but is of little value for progres-

but in application. The teaching of associated ideas without the facts is one of the principle errors made in the present method of instruction in schools, colleges, seminaries, &c, which error certain workers arc now trying to correct by their " kindergarten " system for children. III. The association of the faculties known as Comparison, Causality, Construct! veness, Calculation, and Order, under the head " Reason."

These are multiplied by Calculation, while Constructiveness deals with facts, forms, sizes, colors, and relations, in simple, complex, and compound association, arrangement, and rearrangement, while causality deduces or prophesies results from the material thus constructed. These five faculties form the mill which grinds the grain to provide for the necessities of harmonious life, and a single wheel in this mill being at fault, puts the whole system of machinery out of gear, creating discord. Constructiveness is the center of this group, and is, essentially, the mathematical faculty and the harmonious working together of these

Combativeness was thus named by Phrenolowho found a peculiar development in people who wasted a good deal of strength without accomplishing great results. The deficiency of the forward part of Destructiveness, working with System, which gives the calculated accuracy which makes the bite, is necessarily the cause of this peculiar development Combat iveness being the back part of Destructiveness. Vitativeness means love of life. There could be no life without love of life, and there could be no progression without the u love of the best " in life eternally working at the center

and Firmness, to Application, Prudence, Virtue, Ego, Law, and Will, as more simple and appropriate. Application is necessary to all excellence, and working with Prudence and joining the Self to the Love or Social faculties produces temperance of action or careful action. Virtue is the result of the working together of the faculties known as Caution and Con-*
tiousness,

Scientiousness. Love of praise or Approbativeness is a func-tion of Society. Praise is only an expression of appreciation,and is especially relished by those who lack appreciation of self but the better we appreciate self the less we care for the approval of other, and especially of those whom we have reason to believe are not acquainted with or

Appreciation of human nature or Man in tho front part of the head balances the appreciation of self or Ego in the back part of the head. The former has to do with human nature in general, the latter with human nature in self. The growth of Ego can only come from pergonal success or excellence, and that of the other from the discovery of laws or underlying

The most precious of all knowledge is that which will prolong those charms through old age. Paintings may transfer colors but not the perfumes, the sunshine, the zephyrs, and the ever changing shades of light and shadow, and varying colors of the dancing green leaves and grass-blades, or the melodious concord of bird and insect voices, which make up the perfect whole Nature. Faith embraces Ideality, Sublimity, AJirthfulness. and Spirituality. It is a step of the intellect toward divine conception. Ideality or imagination is but higher deduction, and a result of the harmonious working of all of the facujtles, which produces an appreciation of and faith in coming excellence. Man cannot conceive of any thing beyond complete harmony, which is what we love in Nature, it being the grand and sublime.

Harmony.
Mirthfulness is but an expression of harmony, and its keenest sensation does not always provoke laughter. Laughter is as often satirical as it is expressive of pleasure or harmony. The intellect detects incongruities, which may provoke laughter, but, with a love of the human race, a comparison of man's present condition with what might and should be produces sorrow, of which laughter is sometimes as. expressive as tears. Wit is satire. There is nothing ridiculous but ignorance. Ilope springs eternal in the human breast, and the greater our harmony, the clearer can we see the dawn of eternal day on earth secured, in heaven perpetuated. When harmony approaches, envy, vanity, jealousy, and littleness slink out of sight. These but aiise from man's ignorance of the true means of satisfying his everlasting wants, or rather, necessities. Man is only greedy when lie is hungry or sick. Not even beasts rob or murder for the sake of creating; misery. The cat plays with a mouse the same as -with its tail or a ball of yarn for the sake of amusement and the fortitude which enables it to

33
and watch a hole in the floor for hours, allows it to put off its repast awhile for the sake of a " little fun." Keep the animals wellfed and they won't eat each other, and if man seems different from the other animals in this respect it is because he has more wants without knowing how to gratify them all. Hope and Faith may be inherited, but they cannot be developed except by the harmonious action of all the live groups of faculties, which is their primary and only source of growth, and is necessary for progression. Every man has his own conception of God, ever has had, and ever shall have, and the true conception of Eternal Pan, the God of Nature, will probably not be reached except b} the perfect man, the beauty and harmony of whose life will undoubtedly surpass the richest dream of the present race. Before man understands the laws which control man and planet, he may suppose a great God interposes in his insignificant personal affairs but afterwards he knows him as a God of grand, incomprehensible and unchangeable laws, and that he must obey those laws to deserve or receive blessing. Man's only source of knowledge or conception are the feelings or impressions received through his senses, from which reason makes all deductions. Prophecy is the result of such conception, and the wise prophet is but a mathematician who deals with the problems of existence

what is and what has been being the factors, what shall be, the result. Law, Philosophy, Theology, Medicine, Chemall sciences, istry, Astronomy, Mechanics are but different trades, and professions branches of mathematics, and a knowledge of their basis of facts, principles of deduction, and results, in their relation to happiness and utility, is all that is worth knowing. It is a common and indisputable assertion that " figures won't lie," and figures merely represent facts. If there are any doubts or falsities in doctrines or theories, they come from incorrect deductions, and there must be

a reduction to first principles or facts to discover the cause of all differences. There are many systems, but only one true and underlying principle. No rule has an exception. It ceases to be a rule when an exception is found. X. The disuse of the word " Acquisitiveness," the definition of which is " love of

Standard. Symmetry, balance, length, height, and breadth of head, with health and strength, are the measure of power and excellence.

The active faculties are transferred to offspring, and this fact accounts for the malformation of many heads. Force may be inherall

Hope and Faith may be

inherited without the faculties necessary for their growth, which is also a curse, and amounts to insanity. These abnormal developments can be easily detected, as the fullest development of head in theorists and visionary people is around the top forehead. Insanity and Imbecility are either the result of inheritance or weakness, and is a lack of harmony iii the entire character or make-up.

The brain need not be abnormal or atrophied when a nicely-shaped head does poor work, but
is

either biased by false teachings or hindered

for want of the supplies necessary to give activity to all its faculties. Bad habits are tenacious, and so are good ones. Good and bad are governed by the same law, and result from harmony or deficiency in development. Instinct is the result of habits either individually cultivated or inherited. The longest line of development should be that from the lowest part of the frontal sinus (see chart and perfect head) to a point exactly

The author adopts the gage of twenty-five inches, (that being exclusive of the thickness of the skull and frontal sinus, the examiner to make allowance for that by conclusions drawn from general build or temperament) for the circumference of a standard perfect head, which must resemble a perfect sphere in symmetry and balance, because he has never seen or heard of a head of that description, and the propor* tions for harmony agree with the conclusions resultant from live years of continuous study and observations in endeavors to solve the problem of the ages u What is the matter with man-kind, and what will be the proporI have taken two tions of a perfect man "

There is a gentleman in this city whose head measures twenty-eight inches and a half in circumference and twenty-one inches over the top, from ear opening to ear opening, by tape measurement, and ten and one-half inches in length and eight and one-half inches in breadth

by caliper measurement. His weight is one hundred and forty pounds, and he states that

head increased in size most rapidly the first three }^ears of his life. To compare with this remarkable development we have the following description of the head of Ealph Waldo Emerson, for which we are indebted to a biography of Emerson by 0. W. Holmes: " He wore a hat measuring six and seven-eights, which is equivalent to twT enty-one inches and a quarter in circumference. The average size is from seven to seven and an eighth. so that his head was quite small in that dimension. It was long and narrow, but lofty, almost symmetrical, and of more nearly equal breadth in its anterior and posterior region than many or most heads." This agrees with Emerson's life and writings. If his head was of that circumference where the hat rests, and was long and narrow, lofty, and symmetrical, it probably touched, or very closely approximated, the front, back, and top line of the circle necessary for a head twentyfive inches in circumference, lacking only the side development which gives longevity and great muscular strength and endurance, which deficiency Emerson realized, and deplored in the following lines in " Terminus."

His idealism is accurate deduction from facts. u Truth is stranger than fiction," always. Mr Holmes states" He once corrected me in giving Flora Temple's time at Kalamazoo.

Neglect libraries, sciences, professions, trades; but study Emerson. His poems contain his prophecies, his other works the explanation or line of deduction from facts. A student of all sciences, reader of histories and biographies, studying flowers, stars, man and God abreast of the rising tide of the Nineteenth century discoveries or revelations, and leading a life of purity not surpassed by that of Christ, his eyes pierced the infinite.
