C, ON DECEMBER l6, 1 894. Mr. President and friends : «jg|»EALTH and its Laws are mysterious. How ^gpfe many there are who wreck there lives y and how few who preserve them to their allotted age as nature has decreed they should do. But there is one question which always amuses me, get in any company you may and begin talking Health, speak of Mr. A. or Airs. B., (who are well-known health reformers,) being sick, and instantly some one of your party will ask "why don't they take their own medicine ?" "Practice what they preach ?" Now I shall answer this question by asking a few others. Why does the Physican get sick ? And even die sometimes as we all know ? Why, he cures the sick and saves the dying, still he gets sick, and yet the question 14 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS is never asked (or rarely so,) why he does not take his own medicine. Sometimes I don't blame him if he doesn't, for it is to bad to take. Next, why does the Lawyer ever become entangled in the Courts ? He it is, who clears other people, why not steer clear himself? And then, why does not the beloved and honored Minister always go to Heaven, instead of sometimes going to the gal- lows ? Now, if yon can't answer these questions, I will, and all at once, simply because there are exceptions to all general rules, and because there is an end to all things. The Health Re- former, The Physician, The Lawyer, The Min- ister are human and are liable to err. So is it wise not to study Health Laws just be- cause those who do, get sick sometimes ? Did it ever occur to you, that had your Health Reformer friend been less informed, that death might have occured instead of only a slight illness ? Knowledge always gives power, it saves life, it conquers difficulties, and the mantle of Health Knowledge to you is worth more than gold, rubies FEOM MY SCRAP BOOK. 1 5 or diamonds, for Health is the greatest of all jewels. It is often said we do not appreciate health until we lose it — such is not the case; if we study and understand the health laws, for then we are Interested and become more appreciative because we do understand. It is the ignorant who must loose a blessing before they can appreciate it. We have tem- porary illness which serves as a warning. The temporary invalid is not happy in his fate, and i:he temporary illness suggests the possibility of •cronic invalidism. Therefore I say, 'tis a stupid person indeed who would have to lose his health before he appreciated it. Health being the greatest of jewels, we should know how to attain and preserve it, and at the urgent request of many of my friends to give them my ideas, I will endeavor at the present time to give a few suggestions. I will not go l>ack to the beginning of life, which I am always v^ont to do, but will begin at birth, which is the child's known life to the majority of people. 1 6 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS From birth to death then we will study. Pre- suming that we have a good organization to be- gin with w r e must learn how to best perfect and beautify this being, "the human form divine. " Those who are interested in this early develop- ment, in order to perfect their children, should read my published work entitled "The Maiden, Wife and Motherhood," and especially read the chapters on "The Care of the Infant," and "Beautify Thyself." Presuming that my friends have all read the aforesaid book, or will soon, I will not use time in reiterating its teachings. Of course it is expected of every boy or girl, man. or woman, that they want, first of all, a perfect organization physically. When this is attained the rest of the program is easy, but if you are for- fortunate enough to have developed a perfect phy- sical nature ignorantly, don't think that you can't lose it by the same means, for you can and will, if you are not careful. Therefore there must be con- siderable time and thought given to physical cul- ture, if you would perfect the Health nature. FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 1 7 There are laws governing Health jnst as there are laws governing all else in nature. It is natural to be well and healthy, and unnatural to be unhealthy. Did it ever occur to you that it is really a disgrace to be sick? Such is the fact; "however loth we are to accept it, and when we fully realize that sickness is disgraceful, we will bestir ourselves to prevent its occurrance. The mind, has far more to do with sickness than we imagine, in fact, the mind, to a great ex- tent, controls the physical. When the mind has its full sway and happiness reigns supreme, we are not suprised to find health in that organiza- tion, in fact happiness and health are inseparable. The important fact here to remember is, the necessity of cultivating a happy, cheerful nature. It is hard sometimes to open the windows of the inner man and let in the rays of geniality, bright- ness, light and life, but life should be made up, not of joys and sorrows, but of unalloyed happiness. But we have so much to contend with, our fore- fathers have all taken the shadow side of life, 1 8 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS instead of the enlightened and illumined path- way, so we have to answer for the sins of the past, and the best way we can do this is to look up, never down. Oh how hard this rule is to- follow, especially at first, but the more we prac- tice it the easier it becomes. A genial, happy disposition, does more to insure Health than any other one thing. A few home hints might be appropriate ; eat: wholesome food, plenty of fruit and considerable variety, eat but little meat, in fact we should not eat any meat, only that for generations our an- cestors have eaten it until we have become by nature of that evil habit, an animal eating race, therefore we believe that a little meat, at times, is advantageous, but the main diet should be vegetable. As a race, we eat entirely too much, any way ; eat less and work more, would be a. good Health prescription for a great many people. Another great cause of sickness is the lack of" ventilation in the home. Raise your windows, my friend, and let the gentle breeze penetrate FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. I()< your apartments. Raise the shades and let the sunlight pour in, even if it does fade your brus- sells. Let in the sunlight, for it is nature's greatest purifier. Sunlight, air and water are ever free, and we should enjoy them to the ut- most. The bedroom especially should be aired thoroughly every day, bed linen kept pure and clean, always remembering that cleanliness of person and surroundings are great preventives of disease. It is far easier to prevent disease than to cure^. once let the nature begin to go down and it is hard to step back over the line, but we must re- member that there is , a line, on the declining health road over which if we step we cannot re- turn, and when we near this spot, to refrain from passing over this dividing line between, we may say health and death, often takes great courage and strength, mentally and physically, and when we, through knowledge, rob death of a victim and step back to life and Health instead, justly should we be proud of the feat we have 20 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS accomplished. Knowledge alone gives ns this power. Another thought is this — keep reasonable hours, don't turn night into day, remember the old lines, " early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." There is more truth than poety here. Nature requires that we sleep, and sleep well, some persons require more sleep than others, but generally speaking we sleep too little. Children should be put to bed early and al- lowed to sleep until they awake themselves, for while the physical is growing, and the mental expanding with new ideas daily, much sleep is required, so parents, if you would guard your children's future health and life, let them sleep all they will. Burning the midnight oil, as many of us have been guilty of, is a dangerous thing, it is far better to work in the daylight, rest in the twilight, and sleep in the midnight- Eight or ten hours sleep is required for the majority of natures, and eight o'clock for children retir- FROM MY SOEAP BOOK. 21 Ing, and nine o'clock for adults, would, if •adopted universally, be far better than our pres- ent system, so let us, one and all, study nature and nature's laws more and thus learn the rsecrets of Health and its governing laws the better, remembering that in knowledge comes strength and power. L. D. W. floPE. What is life worth without Hope ? One of the characteristics of Hope is bouyancy ; this is an element of the brain which should be cultivated and made large. Of course, like any other fac- ulty, it can be and is often found too large, and when we have an overdevelopment of good it "becomes an evil ; in other words, any organ of -the brain which is too large often produces as "bad results as if it were too small. What we want is normal action of every faculty. Hope strengthens us to battle with life, and in dream- ing of what will be or is to be, we are not of the 22 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS present, but of the future. To the hopeful one even death loses its terror, for we can see the silver lining in the clouds which hang over the valley and produce the shadow of death, and be- yond them we catch glimpses of the beauties in the after life- The pessimist thinks this is the worst world possible, while the man with excessive Hope thinks it is perfection, he is happy under any and all circumstances and wonders why everyone else is not the same ; he builds his castles in the air, he does not dwell on the earth, but in the skies; he is simply a dream- er ; he builds his castles high, but when he sees them crumble he does not inoan, simply builds more, nothing disturbs him, all is well. Hope gives us the bright side of life. Where Hope is large we have the smile, the bright- ness or laughing of the eye, the graceful step, the majestic poise, and a tranquility of mind and body which only this sense can give. The hopeful man is always whistling, FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 23 singing, etc-, he has to give vent in this way to his exuberant feelings. If the hopeful man meets with adversity to- day, to-morrow he is at work to retrieve his loss, accepts the inevitable, and with pride and Hope pushes onward and upward. Let us cultivate this faculty more, for in Hope we have life, a far brighter life both here and hereafter, Hope is the anchor of the soul. With Hope we are enabled to hold this ship of life 'mid the surging waves which surround us, and look and wait for the sunlight which is surely behind the cloud. Again and again would w r e faint beneath our heavy burden of life were it not for Hope. Few of us there are indeed, who have not tasted of the bitter cup, and many of us have drained it to its dregs, and at times we are prone to re- pine. But let us throw off this feeling and live for the future, for in dwelling upon the past we misspend the present and jeopardize the future. A writer once said : " Give us great hearts, strong minds, true faith and ready hands ;" but 24 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS we ask for a strong Hope guided by a superb in- tellect, and thus we assure this life a success. Let us Hope L. D. W. Organic Quality. Quality is the very essence or ground work of Character. The Quality of a given individual is the texture of his organization, he may be of strong, delicate, or responsive Quality, or vice versa. The vocation of an individual has much to do with forming his Quality, and the natural Quality of the man is of great necessity to take into account when assigning him to a profession phrenologically. Quality, like everything else, cau be changed and improved by correct educa- tion. Ignorance gives for the time being course Quality. Education refines and strengthens Quality. There is a great variety of Quality in the human race, as great in fact and even more than in a forest of trees. In looking at a FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 25 pine tree we judge immediately what the wood is inside of that tree, this is Quality pure and simple, so when we look at an individual we can judge much of his character through his Quality. Quality, when equally blended in its three elements, strength, delicacy and respon- siveness gives to us a general harmony of features, symmetry of figure and a superb ac- tion of the brain. However, we rarely meet the person who is perfectly blended on these ele- ments, and oftener we find the man of coarse Quality or fine Quality, etc. Quality, when correct, gives delicacy and re- finement combined with strength. When the Quality of an organization is low^ we have the coarse or sluggish nature. Completeness of an organization means good Quality, and a good Quality means a harmonious nature. Agricul- ture cultivates coarse Quality, so does the black- smith shop Jewelry manufacturing or chem- istry cultivates and refines the Quality, so does all intellectual work. The lawyer of necessity 26 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS cultivates the strong, coarse Quality, and thus he is fitted for fighting the battles of his clients. The Physician needs a finer and more respon- sive Quality than the Lawyer. The Surgeon especially must have delicate and fine Quality, else he will prove himself anything but fit to deal with the minute details of a delicate opera- tion. The man of fine Quality enjoys the deli- cate professions. He loves to sense the deli- cacies of nature. He revels in the diamond shop, etc., and the expert on diamond setting and cutting, you will find has fine Quality. What would the blacksmith do setting diamonds ? There is an eternal fitness in all things and this element of Quality will always tell you where a man belongs, more than any other one element of character reading known to Phrenology today. The examiner who does not know how to detect or who neglects to take into account the Quality of his subject has failed entirely to earn his money or to impart to his subject the great- est feature of a phrenological examination. Har- FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 2 J niony of man and his work is greatly needed and this we must have before the best results can be obtained. Horses are selected in harmony with the class of work for which they are desired, Why does not man exercise the same degree of intelligence as to his own profession ? and to that of his children ? If men could sell their wives and children, then, they would give more thought and study to Quality, for good Quality in any- thing is always of more value than poor. We are prone to study only the Quality of such things as we can exchange for money and this is wrong. Quality is Quality wherever found, and we should learn to detect poor Qual- ity in a man or woman, just as quick as we would in any other being or object. The hair gives us one of the best tests of Qual- ity. If the hair is fine and strong and hard to extricate from the head, this shows us that the Quality is good and strong. If the hair is coarse and falls easily into your 28 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS hand as you give it a pull, then the Quality is poor. The skin too gives us the Quality. If the texture of the skin is close and compact, the Quality is strong and enduring. Large heavy men who live to fifty years of age or over have strong Quality. Good muscles in- dicate strong Quality. We often see little men and little women with superb Quality, then we have the ''little jewels.''' The small man or woman with fine and re- sponsive Quality will show a brilliancy equal ta the ruby or diamond. Abraham "Lincoln was a fine type of strong Quality, his character was grand and majestic^ even though somewhat rugged. Notice the ac- companying illustrations of different Qualities^ We could mention name after name from history's page of noted people, giving their Quality, but we deem a few illustrations are all that are needed to make plain our meaning. A Diamond is brilliant because of its delicacy., — its fine Quality. FROM MY SCRAP BCOK. 2 9 Responsive Quality. Medium Quality. 3o LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS Coal is not of this element, and we find it more course as to Quality. Delicate or fine Prof. 13. M. Worthington. Quality gives an element for fine Penmanship. Prof. B. M. Worthington, of Chicago, was for FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 31 years the acknowledged penman of the world and is one of the best examples we know of, to illus- trate this element of fine and delicate Quality. We sometimes see very delicate and fine Quality in a large person, but we are more apt to look for strong Quality in the extra large or- ganization. Fine or delicate Quality is abso- lutely necessary to all Artictic work. The fine and delicate Quality gives us many advantages. The Eye sight is nearly always extra good that accompany delicate Quality, sometimes double normal eyesight will exist, which is a great blessing to any one fortunate enough to ^possess it. Strong Quality is proven by good and well developed bones. The teeth are a very fine indication of the state of Quality. Good teeth means good Quality and poor soft and crumbling teeth, indicate a low degree of Quality which is ofter very deplorable. Responsive Quality gives us the person who thinks and acts quickly. Quick thought is a great jewel and in order to possess this valuable article the per- 32 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS son must have Responsive Quality, then prompt thought and quick action becomes second nature to this individual. If the Quality is coarse and sluggish then we have the slowness of thought with but little power, while, if the organization is coarse and strong, we have the ponderance in thought and the majestic expression of ideas. The Irish are noted for quick wit, while the German is slow of thought, but at the same time has much power. The person with responsive Quality will often anticipate your thought and take the words from, your lips before you can speak them. It has been said that if we had an arm long enough to reach to the sun, that it would take a life time to know whether our fingers were burned or not. Be that as it may, the Quality of the person trying the experiment would have much to do with the rapidity of travel to the thought centers. The study of Quality is a beautiful and profit- able study, and we might say much more upon FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 33 this sadly neglected branch of our work, but do not wish to take up too much time nor space therewith, so we will leave the subject with you, hoping that you will profit by the few sug- gestions we have given. Remembering that to cultivate fine Quality is to encourage the great Polisher of nature, for better Quality means better and stronger Character. L. D. W. Look U: ^jjf^HlS is a hard command to give, for life's W&^ roadway is surrounded with man}' thorns and tread as we may we cannot always avoid them, still it is our duty to look beyond the present and not stop to murmur at what we cannot avoid. If we make a mistake we should try to profit by it, but we see so many people who wreck their lives and sometimes their friends also, by brooding over the past, this is wrong. To brood over the past is to mis- 34 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS spend the present and to jeopardize the futnre we must be courageous always, and make of life all we can, for this life of ours is only a few days. at best and it need not be all filled with trouble r for if we will open the windows of our mind and let in the sunlight we may produce pleasure. Life should be one round of pleasure, but ah I how different we find it. Trouble comes to all and it is so hard not to grieve when we see all our hopes and ambitions crushed, or perhaps our loved ones are taken away, but we must learn to say : "Look up, not down ; look forward, not backward r Let the dead past bury its dead, Onward, onward, onward ever ; Human progress none can stay ; He who makes the rash endeavor, Will like chaff be blown away." Look Up, we can all do this physically, if not in some manner disabled, and so we can ment- ally if we will only try, and if in weakness we give way to the brooding spirit at an unguarded' moment we should not become discouraged but struggle on, and day by day added strength will FROM MY SCRAP BOOK 35 be given and as the mini controls the body we can produce wonderful results. What we want is harmony with all nature and this we can have if we will only look tip and partake of nature's manifold blessings. Look Up, we must, else we may fall by the wayside, physically speaking this means much, mentally it means more. The mental scientist can fully understand. Wonld that all would study the mind and its forces more, then would nature be better understood and her mysteries disappear as the dew before the rising sun. The mind is wonderful, its power we ma}' say is limitless. Why will the masses not stud}' it more? The brain is the organ on which the mind plays. Touch its keys correctly and we produce harmony, but touch them incorrectly and inharmony, is the result. Through the study of phoenology alone can we master the art of manipulating the brain and when we learn transference of thought we have gained a victorv, then we can fully understand what it means to 36 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS Look Up. Sometimes it means life itself and often it is death if we continue to look down- ward, so let us realize that to live as we should in health, happiness and harmony with nature, we must Look Up. If at first we fail "struggle on." L. D. W. A. Pure For Dyspepsia. SALLOW faced, unhappy looking man came .II to Dr. B 's office one day when the writer chanced to be present. He wanted some medi- cine for dyspepsia. Among other questions the doctor asked, " How long a time do you unusally spend at dinners?" " I dunno exactly," replied the patient. Ten or fifteen minutes, I guess. Does your food taste good ? Dr. B , asked. "That it does," was the reply, "but half an hour after I've eaten it I'am nearly dying with distress." Do you drink much with your food — tea, coffee or water ? " A pretty considerable amount," answered the man. " Yours is a grave case," said the doctor, "but I can help you if you follow my directions." Dr. B gave the man a dark colored mixture in a bot- tle and said : " Now, it is of the utmost importance FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 37 that this medicine be taken properly. With each mouthful of food take a very small sip and then chew, chew, chew, in order to mix it completely with the food. Do this and report to me in a week." Two weeks later I saw this dyspeptic again, but I •scarcely recognized him, he was so much improved in looks. "That medicine of yours works like a charm," he said to the doctor. "I've about forgotten that I have .a stomach." " That's good, responded Dr. B , continue taking it in the same way for three months and you will be a well man." Then, as he man went out, Dr- B , said : " The whole story of that man's cure is in the word mastication. It is merely what I said to him — chew, chew, chew. But he wouldn't have be- lieved it without the medicine, which was the simp- liest. The man was bolting his food and I stopped it." — Youttis Companion. We were so impressed with the great truth of the above article, that we give it verbatum to our readers. There cannot be too much said on the neces- sity of perfect mastication, for on this fast alone -a great mass of the sickness of to-day could be prevented, you may hurry with your w T ork, but if you want health, you must take plenty of time at the table.

It is always a bad idea to take much fluids at meal time, we find the best results where no- fluids are used, except a glass of cold water just. preceding the meal. L. D. W. Building Character fSfifc^ 7 ^ build character just as we build. feS^si houses, little by little, line by line* We " sow a thought and reap an idea ; sow an idea, reap a habit ; sow a habit and reap a destiny."

Character is FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 39 not altogether an inheritance, it is what we make of ourselves, it may be perverted good, which is what is generally considered evil. Character is not what people think of us, but it is what we reall3 T are. We love Phrenology, because it teaches us how to build Character correctly- It teaches us how to restrain and how to cultivate all of our faculties, and thereby gain the much coveted prize, — a normal or balanced Character. Phrenology not only helps us to build our Characters correctly, but it also polishes the finished edifice ; it la} T s the foundation strong, it builds the many rooms in the mansion great, it rounds the corners, it beautifies the inner and its outer walls ; it purifies, it improves, adding room after room, until completion is at l^st ac- complished — in other words, the Character is formed and wholly good, ''well done, good and faithful servant," earth's greatest blessing is yours. — Character.

The mind controls the body, we are not always conscious of this fact however, else we w T ould con- trol our bodies better than we often do.

W. f» RENOLOGY AS A PROFESSION For W OMEN delivered at the graduating exercises of the windsor college of phrenology, washington^ d. c, class of 1893. Mr. President, Gentlemen and Ladies : I S a profession for woman, Phrenology pre- sents unequalled and enticing advantages- A woman's profession should be one that is in accord with her perculiar endowment of feminine sensibilities. Woman is naturally true to the moral sense, her profession should be one which deals practically with moral duties and privi- leges. She is actutely sensitive and intuitive^ 44 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS and therefore her profession should be one which demands quick and acute judgment. She is sympathetic, benevolent and maternal. Her profession should give her opportunity to em- ploy her sympathies toward those who are seek- ing advice, comfort and consolation, to extend help to the needy, and to receive into her mater- nal mind the confidences of humanity's, way- ward, discouraged, anxious and suffering children ► Phrenology gives her all these opportunities in a position where she can command respect for her learning and accomplishments and exact for her labor a reasonable compensation. The nineteenth century has witnessed the triumph of woman in many departments of knowledge in which she was formerly deemed incompetent. How our sister was derided who' first essayed to minister to the wants of hu- manity in the field of medicine ! How she was abused who first aspired to proclaim truth from the pulpit, and what an earthquake shook the realm of conservatism when she demanded ad- FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 45 mitance to the temple of justice ! But history shows that she has been a success in all of these, as in other vocations. One of the greatest advantages conferred by Phrenology upon woman is, that it enables her to judge both men and women correctly, and gives to her that practical knowledge of human nature and of human affairs of which she has heretofore been supposed to be ignorant. In this Phrenology is woman's best friend and counsel- lor. This life is not a dream, it is filled with stern realities, and the woman who understands herself and others through this science has the world at a disadvantage and her life is an as- sured success, mentally, morally, physically and financially. Mentally, because it gives her the highest culture, morally, because it endows her with a citadel against temptation and crime. Physically, because it teaches her to use all her splendid endowments, and financially; because it gives her the control of her time and her com- pensation. Without boasting, I can truthfully 46 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS say that I have made more money in Phre- nology in one day, than some of my less fort- unate sisters can earn in months of the hardest labor in other occupations. 1 often make more than a hundred dollars per day. But ladies, the best fact is, that Phrenology makes us better, stronger and braver women, and this we surely need. I first studied medicine, but that did not satisfy me, its incompleteness could not fill the yearnings of my woman's soul. I studied other sciences with the same result, but in Phrenology I have found my true vocation, and in its de- lightful study and practice, I have spent the happiest moments of my life. And, if by future efforts, I can induce any gifted woman to take up this glorious work, and by lifting the burdens of humanity, exalt herself to a magnificent suc- cess, I shall feel that I have not altogether lived in vain. As to our present graduating class, it is needless to say we are proud of them — yes, Ave are proud of them all, and you will find in the Ladies of this class the brightest, the truest, the noblest of women — .[Applause.

And we are frank to say, (even though our influence might seem small as against such a mighty evil,) there is a great Pro- cession, yes, of wondrous length, marching on life's roadway to-day, who through our precept 54 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS and example are total abstainers from the man- hood destroyer, Tobacco. Bnt it is appalling when we think of the enor- mous amount of Tobacco which is consumed yearly, and especially does it grieve us when we realize what a great amount is consumed in this beloved United States of ours. Oh ! our country and our people, what is to become of them ? In the Chicago Times of recent date we are told that, that city has 1 360 cigar and cigar- ette manufactories, and 130 factories for snuff, smoking, and the fine cut tobaccos, and Chicago imports a great deal of her Tobaccos. It is stated by the Times that the aggregate sale of Tobacco in all its forms yearly in the city of Chicago alone cannot be less than forty million pounds, (this is in 1894) There are fully 20,- 000 places where Tobacco are sold at retail in the aforesaid city alone. Imagine, if you can, all the Tobacco that is in Chicago to-day, taken out on some barren field and a pyamid or mountain reared Think you, how high, how long, how FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 55 -wide it would be ? I fear the most of us would fall far short of conceiving in our mind's e}-e the enormous mass. Ah ! well we cannot hope to save the masses from the '' tobacco malstrom," "but we will and do save the few. On with the good work we say ; there is work for all. We believe in temperance in all forms, but as to To- bacco and Whiskey, we believe in total absti- nence, and we shall be heard far and near as -against these evils as long as life and strength be ours to command, and we believe that some -day, (it may not be far distant,) that the nian- Tiood in man, and the womanhood in woman, will so exert itself as we see it to-day, that it will free itself from this pollution and come forth cleansed and purified, and shall live as man should live, — in cleanliness and in health, then life will be of worth to us instead of simply wast- ing our existence in disease and death, then we will have health in life. So let us do all we can towards righting and arresting this evil, for 'tis said li the constant dropping of water wears 56 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS away the hardest stone," so a constant effort in the right direction will surely reap its just reward- So we will struggle on and hope to victory gain. L. D. W. j NTELLIGENCE, jg|| FEW days ago I was asked the surprising- {jSpk question, "isn't man the only intelligent animal?" I certainly answered, no indeed, we are as a race certainly the leaders in intelligence^ but most assuredly we do not have a monopoly of all intelligence. Why, I have often seen, horses and dogs, with more sense than some men and women I know, indeed I have, while the animal creation have not as many kinds of sense; in other words they have not as many different organs in the brain as we have, there- fore they do not manifest as great a variety of thought as man is capable of, but the few fac- ulties they have are very active and sometimes FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 57 very strong. I have a Parrot whose brain is not large, but is of very fine quality. Some people think Parrots have only one faculty, that of imitation, (which is incorrect, for they have several.) To show you that they also can reason and show their intelligence by doing the right thing at the right time and place, when I first enter my office in the morning, or when I first see Polly for the day, she instantly says " good morning Mamma," and when friends come and go it is " how do you do" and " good-bye." If you call a cat in her hearing she will at once mew and often will say " come to Polly kitty," u prett}^ kittie, and if a brass band passes the street (she is very fond of music) she will call us to the window. She not only understands the pleasures of life but also the sorrows ; if you come in the room and complain of being sick or even speak in a weak tone, she gets your condition instantly and will begin to groan most pitifully, and often says " Oh, my head," "Oh, lordie," "Oh, dear me," and she will groan until 58 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS she makes you laugh, then she thinks you are better, which you doubtless are. I knew a Par- rot whose name was Eddie, and he was taken very sick — dangerously ill, and no doubt to my mind but he knew more than we would ordi- narily give him credit for — for he said " Eddie is sick, Eddie wants to die." All day long he would groan and repeat this phrase, at sun- down — he died. We know how Cats have been known to follow people and refuse to be com- forted by other friends, while they are as a rule very succeptable to kind treatment and plenty to eat, (the most of us also are,) still they have been known to starve almost, through their love for a human friend, and sometimes we see them act almost human on some faculty. And then there is the Horse, who says he is not wise. We think if he could only talk, he would really as- tonish the best of us with his intelligence, and doesn't he talk ? Suppose you walk through the yard where he is grazing, with a bundle of fodder under vour arm, what does he sav ? Don't FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 59 he talk ? Can't you understand? I think you do. And then we have the Dog, the dear old house and personal guard and friend, let any one who doubts the dog's intelligence read the fol- lowing article, and I think I need not pleacl again for him. POOR REX MOURNS. — A DOG WHOSE TWO LITTLE CHARGES SLEEP IN THE CEMETERY. " The Prince School on Newbury street has lost a strange visitor. During last fall and winter a regular caller was a bull terrier, which appeared at the school every morning, escorting two little children. Not content with seeing the children in the school yard, Rex would follow them into the school building- and down to their very seats ; then he would turn gravely round and march out again with a pace as dignified as a drum major. When it was time for the closing of school for the day he would again be on hand to escort his charges back to their home. This attention he continued day after day and seemed to find the task a pleasure instead of a burden. It all came to an end, however, shortly after the New Year. Rex is the property of Mr. S. A. Wetmore, city editor of the Herald, and the two children to whom he played escort duty were Mr. Wetmore's little daughters, Florence and Edith. In the latter part of January Florence died from a severe attack of gastritis, and the daily tramps to the 60 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS school were interrupted. Curious to relate, the dog- never would go near the place afterward. He seemed to be affected with grief almost human for his little playmate, and now his loneliness has increased more than ever, because his remaining companion has been taken from him." — Boston HeraU. Animals are simply like man, they are what they are developed ; for while we have many naturally, and from all appearances what w r e call the intelligent class of animals, we also have many more that show wonderful powers when properly educated. One of the prettiest sights I ever saw was the company of educated Seals. I could entertain you an hour telling you of their wonderful work. One of the most laughable performances I ever attended was the Rooster Orchestra— just think of it, barn yard roosters entertaining an intellectual audience. with their music on violin, drum, tamborine, horn, etc., well they did, and I laughed and laughed, and so did everybody else, but I think when that audience left the auditorium that they had more respect for the chicken ever after, I did. I have seen Wolves educated ; they are FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 6 1 said to be one of the hardest animals to tame or to educate, still we see them play with their keeper as a dog plays with his master ; in fact, every animal can be educated to a marvelous degree if only the correct course is taken and persevered in, for the great universal mind per- vades all nature, and if we will only seek out the key, and unlock each secret combination, great will be the mysteries unfolded to our vision — mental and physical. Let us each, and all strive to "cultivate this wonderful mind in whatever form we see it manifested, and thus develop it more and more. There is not enough kindness shown to the animal creation. If animals were treated better and their brains cultivated they could and would be much improved. We should realize that animals have rights which we must respect. Every animal cer- tainly should be treated kindly, but is he? L. D. W. Mp v j^ENNEDY'S BlG pALLIPERS. Revelations of Head /Measurement IN THE ^ranklin School, JS an 'Francisco. New JSystem of Child Study It Is Demonstrated That Bad Boys Are Large Behind the Ears, and Those With the Big- est Heads Are Smartest. — Many Teachers Taking Up a New and Novel Study of Child Matures. '^SSffill OWN at the Franklin Grammer School, on ^JUjII Eighth street, the boys and girls are being fe^S) measured and tested in all sorts of interest- ing ways. Their heads are being measured with tape lines and big nickel callipers, around OYer and through and the number of inches and fractions between ears and from occiptal bones to the frontal sinuses is set down in appropriate columns. Then their physical pro- portions are taken, the color of hair, eyes and skin, the apparent quality of muscle and bone and a lot of other things. This is all part of a system of child study which FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 63 Principal James G. Kenned}' has been evolving for a number of years. The system has been presented to about twenty teachers of the city in a series of ten afternoon lectures just closed and many of these teachers are so interested in it that they are going to carry it out with callipers, tape lines and blanks in their own classes. A HARD PROBLEM SOLVED. All this measuring and testing is designed to help find out just what sort of a being a given boy is. The average boy is wonderfully and often fearfully and mysteriously made and disposed. He is a problem hard to solve with a tape line and a pair of callipers, but Mr. Kennedy's system comes pretty near doing this, without hurting the boy, either. Mr. Kennedy's system of child study is original in the way the study of the physical side of the child is brought in. The physical studies are rather inci- dental to the mental study, but are brought in be- cause the physical conditions correspond to and re- veal the mental tendencies of the child. These head measurements that are piling up are based on the theory that certain regions of the brain are the centers of certain powers and functions. Mr. Kennedy has the brain charted in a broad way in ac- cordance with the generally accepted teaching that the intellectual powers reside in the front half, the emotional and vital in the rear, that a high head be- tween the ears indicates activity and width, behind the ears energy and combativeness. When an urchin stands up to have his brain mea- 64 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS sured a tape line goes first around his head. Twenty- four children of ten years had heads ranging in cir- cumference from 19 to 21*^ inches. Mr. Kennedy says that, as a rule, the children with big heads are in the lead of their classes. The exceptions are gen- erally cases where the quality of the brain is poor, and its quality generally corresponds to the physical na- ture as shown by texture of hair, skin, etc. In that. bunch of twenty-four heads and occipital bones ranged between twelve and fourteen inches and the distances over from ear to ear between twelve and thirteen and one-half inches. The fellow with the widest head will give ten pounds and fight any day- CALLIPERS TELL THE TALE. The callipers give these measurements. They are like a big pair of bowed compasses with little knobs at the points. One knob placed in the ear and the other on the bump at the back of the head gives the distance back of the median line, read on the gradu- ated scale. No two Franklin school heads are built the same way. Mr. Kennedy ran his fingers down the columns yesterday and picked out a good boy. Going over to the proper columns it was found that he measured five inches from ear to center of forehead by the cal- lipers and only 4^ inches from ear to occipital bone, showing the marked predominance of reason over impulse. An unlucky urchin, whom nature has given but 4 inches of head in front of the median line and 4^ inches behind it, is always getting into trouble by doing things he ought not to, and thinking- FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 65 about them when he stands trembling in the princi- pals office. The hearing is tested by one person stretching a tape line outward from the ear and another person moving a watch along it until it can be heard. Acute ears can hear an ordinary watch 24 inches. Mr. Ken- nedy has found the hearing of 25 per cent, of children poor or defective, and in most cases it had never been noticed before. Lack of attention and apparent stu- pidity in school he says, are often due to poor hearing. About 30 per cent, of eyes are defective. The purpose of this is to help a teacher to under- stand a child and develop what is deficient. — San Francisco Examiner, 1897. We are indebted to a California friend for the -above clipping. While its teachings are neither new nor novel to us, neither are the ideas original with Prof. Kennedy, it is certainly interesting in more ways than one. We are glad that the Pacific coast is on the alert for everything good as usual, and we hope that Prof. Kennedy re- ceived an enthusiastic welcome, which no doubt he has from the statements in the above article. If all teachers would only follow Principal Ken- nedy's example, how different it would be. It is true that there is not any two heads alike in 66 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS any school, nor in the world for that matter,, there are similars and dissimilars. and when we realize that there are no two children alike in any- given school, then why should we expect the same treatment or rules for discipline and culture to prove advantageous to all. This is the old prac- tice, but is it the correct or successful way ? I think Prof. Kennedy, with his experience, would tell us it was not, for what is mete for one is death for another. If the organization's in the school room are different, then the discipline must be different, in order to be just in all cases- We congratulate Principal Kennedy upon his adopting this system, and we hope he will make it universal. You are on the right course Pro- fessor, and we bid you great speed in the grand and good work you will accomplish in your field y and we can but say we hope others will be quick to follow in your footsteps.

HERE are two distinct elements in man y for convience, we will call them Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the pnre and the impure, Now, some scientists I know will quarrel with me right here and say that all is good— yes, we say so too, bnt there is perverted good, — the right and the wrong. We know that there are always two sides to everything. We find it true of man, and often we find it difficult to find the best side of a certain person, and occassionally we find it difficult to find the wrong side to an individual, but this class is usually a woman with wings growing out and getting ready to fly to unknown parts — these perfections are hard to find. On the other hand, our Mr. Hyde's side is fully represented, and we see him manifested daily to our great annoyance and inconvieuce. 68 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS When we are natural, we are as we should be, and are then showing to our friends Dr. Jekyll, or the better side of our nature, but how many of us always show this side ? I hear the chorus, not I, not I ! .Well friend, if you are not a be- liever in the two distinct natures in man, I think you must acknowledge it now, for if you do not always show at your very best, you must have another side. I don't mean by this the saint and sinner, that theory has been exploded long ago, but the different sides of our nature show simply as we bring them out, and cause them to reflect the inner man, if we live pure, think pure, and act pure, the reflection from us will be from the pure side, and the radience of purity will be seen and felt; in other words, the Dr. Jekyll' s side of our nature is shining forth in its lumin- ous brightness, light and love. But if we cul- tivate the other side, by impure associates, read light or vulgar literature, harbor impure thought, follow impure acts, note the result; instead of light, there' is darkness, gloom and dispa'r, in FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 69 fact, Mr. Hyde has made his appearance, and we shudder at his approach, still, the poet says: *' Vice is a monster of such frightful niein , Thus to be hated, needs but to be seen; Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace. 1 ' So yon see, we must cultivate the side we -would most perfer to show, for the one we live l>ecomes second nature to us, or rather it pre- dominates; thus, if we wish (and I hope we all do) to show our better nature, we must be on the alert and cultivate ourselves for the noble side of life, and thus it is that Phrenology aids us by teaching us how and when to cultivate or restrain as the case may be, and thus bring out the bet- ter side of our nature and hold in check the other. With the aid of Phrenology we can hold Mr. Hide in check and let Dr. Jekyll have full liberty and thus gain the prize, — the coveted ^prize of a glorious manhood or womanhood, treading all vices down and only showing Dr. Jekyll in all his loveliness, which to me is the ideal character. JO LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS I do not think there has ever appeared a play on the boards that has done more good to the American people than " Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," for it certainly proves to all, the two dis- tinct natures in man, and what each can become. Therefore we shonld strive at all times to cultivate the good and restrain the evil. The maj ority of people know right from wrong, bnt often find it easier to do the latter and so they go down, on and on, cultivating the coarser side of life, when they shonld climb tip and np, ever reaching ont for something better and brighter. Thns friends, Phrenology aids ns, for it shows ns the great and grand possibilities of onr indi- vidual organizations, and helps to display the Dr. Jekyll side, and to throw a shadow over Mr. Hyde, and he is lost to view in the radiance of Dr. Jekyll' s personalty, and thus life should go on towards perfection, and as the hair by age turns white and whiter, the nature should grow pure and purer, brighter and brighter until the end. L. D. W. M OTHERHOOD w HERE is so much a mother can do for * her offspring, not only after its birth, but before. I wish mothers would think of this matter more, and learn to know how to act to develop their children in the nature and image of the perfect man, " only a little lower than the angels ;" in fact, when women and men under- stand and obey nature's laws as they should, our children are born angels. We do not advocate large families, but good ones. One child well born is worth a dozen half born, and the father and mother who fall short of their capacity in this matter have committed a great sin, not only against themselves and their darling child, but against all humanity. The prospective mother should study well her part, for so much can be done by her alone. All physical and mental suffering is the result of 72 LECTUEES AND CLIPPINGS •disobeying some of nature's laws. Whose fault is it, yours or your parents ? Perhaps the mother's. We see every day the child paying the penalty of its parents sins, this is hard to contemplate, but such however is the fact. Motherhood should be the greatest of bless- ings, but how often we find it seemingly a curse, and why ? Simply through ignorance, that is all. The mother, during her pregnancy, fre- quently gives way to high temper, peevishness, moroseness, etc., etc., and when the baby comes and is fretting and crying all the time, she can't see why other people can have good babies and she such cross one. My dear prospective mother, just remember this simple fact, that you are the mirror, your child is the reflection ; this thought, I think, may help you. Of course there are certain times during preg- nancy to give certain impressions, such as special talents, etc., this is done by knowing at what stage of pregnancy each organ of the "brain forms. This subject is fully discussed in FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. J$ our published works which all men and women, should read before marriage. It is said, "marriage is either heaven or hell."' On hearing this quoted once, a woman spoke up and said, "it is both," and gave us her experi- ence. Her first mrriage was on the mismated line, there was no harmony between them, she married for money and position, and with constant association, of course life soon became- a hell to her, as she expressed it ; later her husband accidently died (perhaps it got too hot and took his breath away) and she married again,, this time for love, and they were scientifically mated, therefore their union was "heaven." ' Two hearts that beat as one," etc. We can well afford to suffer a little "hell," if we only but reach the "heaven" "at last, and such we have in the perfect marriage. And why do- we marry ? Because it is right, natural. Mar- riage is honorable in all, (who are healthy,) and the outcome of marriage is, of course, children^ I pity from the very depths of my nature, the 74 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS woman who reaches the age of forty and has never felt that peculiar thrill of joy that comes to the mother, when she presses her babe to her breast- This is the joy unspeakable to the true woman. The architect is proud and justly so, of a finished building. The lawyer is proud of his success in the courts. The artist is proud of his work in marble. The man and woman artists in child making, should share this pride, for is it not more to mould a human body and inind after }^our own image than it is to carve out of the lifeless marble a cold statue? Note the difference, yours is living, moving, breath- ing, all expression and life, while the marble likeness is rigid ; expressionless, lifeless and. cold. All professions are ennobling, but moth- erhood is the grandest and best of all, "mother," the sweetest and dearest name on earth except — "baby." L. D. W. Wome Again. Washington, D. C. To Our Friends : ^fSNfcff E took a little vacation, a trip to Texas, t^^lfa to visit many old and valued friends, and most of all to see our mother and dear little boys, or rather big boys — yes, we have two big boys now and what a time we did have with those boys and with other friends and relatives, we enjoyed ourselves so well that we wrote to some friends in Washington that we felt we were but 16 again, for we were enjoying the visit so much, and what do you suppose those friends replied to our statement — well, that they were glad that I was enjoying my rest and feel- ing so young, but that I would receive a warm welcome at home, even at my present age, and they certainly did give me a very cordial greet- ing on my return ; in fact I didn't know how j6 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS popular I was, like some people who die, yott didn't realize how good they were till their obituary appeared. I had a splendid time, but with many things against me. While in Texas a lady friend took me out driving, the horse ran away with us r turned the buggy over, spilled us out — of course, broke my lady friend's arm and gave me quite a. nervous shock — most turned my hair grey ; but with such occurrences as this even, I had a good time after all. I had slow horses, fast horses r slow trains and fast trains, but all the same I was in that grand old state of Texas, which gave me birth, and the state that gave me two of the brightest boys in America, (their mamma thinks so,) and so I had a glorious time any way. It is a real treat to meet old and tried friends,, those who have stood by you in all the sorrows and triumphs of a young and ambitious life, those who are just as much your friend when your pocket is light as when it is heavy laden. Such friends I met, and God bless them, I hope to> FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 77 meet them all again before we pass to the far be- yond. But the best of friends must part, and this was the trying hour to me, to leave again my babies and my friends, and to return to my work at Washington. Yes, this must be done, for I have many duties in this life yet to per- form, so I came — }^ea tore myself from the lov- ing arms of children, home and friends, and once more I am at my post in Washington, in the midst of other friends, and will try and serve you better than in the past. I was absent 30 days, and of necessity, had to neglect some of my office duties, but 1 hope our friends w T ill pardon all delays, for I am home again and will be pleased to serve you. On my return, in passing through Ohio, our train was delayed 15 hours, (held up by the strikers,) we didn't enjoy that part of the program, but we had to endure it, as you see life is not all sun- shine, even with us. We have been very hard at work since our return, picking up the many dropped stitches caused by our absence, and we 78 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS will soon catch up with our work if we don't run away again. Now friends, don't scold if we do, for the weather is very, very warm in Washing- ton and it is so pleasant, I am told, at the sea shore and I know it is far preferable to play than to work in warm weather, but for the pre- sent, at least, I am "at home." L. D. W. Home Again, No. 2 Washington, D. C. Dear Friends ; %g[ DID run away again, I couldn't help it, the mB' weather is so warm here now, so I once more closed my office for a few da} r s and went to the seashore, (Atlantic City, N.

I can't begin to tell you FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 79 how I enjoyed those baths, I never know when to come out of the water for I enjoy the sea bathing immensely and then comes the rest after the bath — how I do sleep — two rows at a time as the little boy said and eat — well if I hadn't been fortunate enough to have been quartered at a first class hotel, I don't know what would have became of me, for everything I tasted was so verv o>ood — I mean I had such an appetite — and I am never dainty I can tell you, but the change, the rest, the fresh air and the salt water bathing every day, certainly gave me a vigorous appetite, which was full}' satisfied from the bill of fare at ik The Rossmore," kept bv the Hartsock Bros. , this is indeed a pleasant stopping place, the hotel itself is a beautiful building in a good location, (cor. Pacific and Tennessee Avenues,) many of the rooms front- ing towards the ocean, commanding a lovelv view, but the best of all to me was, their break- fast, dinner and supper, (old style) every meal t>eing first class. I went down all alone, but 8o LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS early the next morning after my arrival I met two friends, husband and wife, (and later met many other friends,) that day I enticed my lady friend to go in the surf bathing with me, I liked to have let her drown, however we enjoyed our- selves and had some hearty laughs. The next day the husband went in bathing- with me, he hadn't been in the water for six: years, and he says he was never so near frozen to death by a woman in his life, so we couldn't get him in the surf any more, he would stand on the shore and wave at us while we were reveling in the grandeur and beauty of the sea and scene. With all my pleasure however, I was not idle for I made some money. The president says, "I always have an eye for business," so when I see a chance for some good work I am in for it then and there, but I certainly had a delightful rest and a pleasant trip ; wasn't " held up" this time by the strikers either, but came through strictly on time, so once more friends I am at FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 8 1 home and I wish you, one and all, a delightful summer.

With best wishes, etc., we remain very truly yours, The Hartsock Bros., " Rossmore Hotel." f RIENDSHIP RIENDSHIP is an organ of the brain (iKl which is sadly neglected by the Ameri- can people ; in fact, the lack of Friendship is one of the great American defects. We say it with shame, for we should show this element more than any other people. But we are cold, ex- clusive, hardened and selfish, because we are not 82 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS exercising and cultivating the element of Friend- ship. We should throw out our magnetism more and not crawl into our own shells, as the turtle does, everytime we come in contact with any one ; and often times we not only jump back in our shell aud shut the door, but we snap or snarl as we do so. This manifestation shows, the lack of Friendship. We should study and. cultivate Friendship in our children and in our- selves, just as carefully as we do the alphabet,. for we are as liable to make mistakes in one place as the other. We should study the likes and dislikes of others, and take an interest in their affairs and endeavor to promote their welfare. When we meet, do not stand back on formality, but greet humanity with a smile, shake the hand' heartily, say a kind word, if you like a person tell him so, speak of his virtues to others and thus pass on the encouragement of the cultiva- tion of one of the grandest elements of the hu- man organization. Friendship gives us warmth and enthusiasm of manner, and with Friendship FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 83 large we draw people to us ; they like us for we like the 111, aud thus often the strongest of attachments are formed. All mental faculties can and should be culti- vated, for exercise gives strength, so with Friendship, if we want friends, we must make friends, to draw friends to us we must go to them, live for humanity and not all for self. Woman has the organ of Friendship larger than man usually, unless she is unfortunate in being deceived by supposed friends until she be- comes hardened and cold to the influence of Friendship. We have seen some of the grandest and, best men and women ruined, their lives utterly wrecked by false friends, for it is a great shock to the system if we have large Friendship to have our friends not prove to us what we are to them, but we must learn to recognize and rea- lize the fact, that those who prove false to us are those with less Friendship than ourselves, thus through Phrenology we can see and understand how to forgive the short-comings of our friends 84 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS and should try and cultivate and help them to a better development and a better understanding of life and humanity. Their is no sense that can help us to do this more than the sense of Friendship well developed in ourselves, for — "What is friendship ? I will tell you : Eyes that weep for others' wrongs, Shoulders bearing others' burdens, Lips repeating others songs. friendship is a chain, embracing Rich and poor and young and old ; Even the beggar child may fondly Touch in awe its links of gold. Friendship is the heart's devotion, By warm, loving acts confessed Thinking trials only pleasures, If they give a loved one rest. Friendship is a sweet compassion, When brave courage is unmanned, Asking naught, but trusting fully, Quick to soothe and understand."

I knew when I clasped his hand that he was my friend, for through the sympathy of our 86 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS natures our minds had blended ; he saw in the child before him hidden power and the bud of the future, while I realized his abilities to lead me on toward my ambition's height, for he was my teacher, and the best friend of my youth and I. love him still. He was my idol in childhood and is one of the few idols which we have- planted upon pedestals high, which have never fallen. A beautiful eye makes silence eloquent — his eyes were eloquent, especially so to me and I used to stand at his knee and look into his eyes and try to fathom their depths.
