of a little boy who was asked by his teacher if he did not believe in war. "No," said he "war, makes history, and there is more history than I can study now." There is more truth than poetry in the child's remark; the study of history means the continuous recital of wars and conflicts between the nations, hence the strong 12th. Sign in the horoscope before us. His 3rd. and 4th. stand for reading and writing and the 12th. for war also political and social reforms. All his planets stand at these two points. He is known to be a man who was not afraid to express his views on any subject.

No. 11 is a famous English astronomer, who bears a title. His father was a naturalist and doubtless he inherited a taste for a more mysterious branch of nature study, that of the heavens. We find Venus and

Mercury and the Moon forming a conjunction with Uranus, Saturn and Mars in the 4th. Sign. From the account of the Creation we decided that astronomy came under the 4th. Sign. Other astronomers we find with a strong 4th. The 4th. Sign we believe gives Mathematical ability and this is very essential to the successful study of astronomy.

This great scientist has published about twelve works on astronomy and has been President of the Royal Astronomical Society and Director of the Observatory.

In No. 12., we have a teacher blind, deaf and dumb. One would wonder how she could impart instruction to any one, and yet she taught in a school for the blind. It is thought she might have been taught the art of speech had the method followed later been

understood. Despite her severe affliction, it is said by those who knew her that she enjoyed life as much or more than most persons do. The loss of her senses was due to an attack of scarlet fever when she was scarcely more than two years of age. Uranus and Saturn in close conjunction with the Sun in the 2nd. Sign near the 1st. caused the trouble. Neptune also comes into the conjunction. Great care should be taken in prescribing medicine for those who have Neptune in a bad position. Danger from all liquids is indicated.

Our last Chart, No 13, is that of a successful lady teacher in a city school. At the time this Chart is taken, Venus and Murcury form a conjunction in her 1st. Sign; Mars however is in the 1st. and she lost her husband early in life. He died suddenly and she was left with a boy; her 11th. Sign being especially good the boy proved to be a great comfort to her. Her 11th. Sign also gives her success with children in school work. Her 3rd. is ominous; brothers and sisters come under the 3rd. sign and she cared for an invalid sister for many years in addition to her school work. Hers is one of those useful lives, which doubtless has treasure laid up in heaven. For common school work the 1st. and 11th. are the drawing Signs. A teacher and an actress draw on the same points and the work is in many respects similar. In higher education other points come in. We have given examples in Natural Science, Zoology, History and Astronomy. We should like to give many others. It is a notable fact that President Wilson formerly of Princeton, President Hadley of Yale and President Lowell of Harvard were all born in the same year and have similar horoscopes.

CHAPTER VIII.

Dress.

We make no distinction between men and women from an astrological standpoint. If any distinction should be made we have not discerned the fact; each is subject to like temptations and endowed with like intellectual gifts. There are distinct differences in the appearance and habits of the two sexes, but these we attribute to physical peculiarities.

In order to elucidate planetary influence in the matter of dress let us regard Aries as the 1st. Sign. Taurus the 2nd. Gemini the 3rd. and so on; Aries then will govern the upper part of the head, Taurus the lower; Gemini the shoulders, and hands. In 1908 Saturn entered Aries: Saturn is a cold planet and leads to wearing thin clothing or laying the skin bare. Mars is a warm planet and leads to wearing warm clothing frequently choosing red as a color. A conjunction of Mars and Saturn leads to such eccentricities as wearing a fur collar around the neck, and exposing the bare throat and chest to the chilly air, as you see women doing occasionally. Conjunctions of Mars and Saturn bring on epidemics of la grippe, influenza and pneumonia, induced by sudden changes of temperature; being over-heated and then exposed to a chill. The body will stand heat or cold but sudden changes from heat to cold are dangerous. We mention this fact here as we will probably not be in a position to devote a chapter to disease.

Saturn in Aries governing the upper part of the head, led women to adopt the practice of traveling with their heads uncovered, and sitting in public places with their hats removed. In 1909 Jupiter came into conjunction with Saturn in Aries, and Jupiter

being the largest planet led women to adopt the large hat as a head covering. Saturn in Aries and Taurus also led men to shave off their beards and women to dope with powder to excess; for Saturn rules death and anything that gives a deathly appearance to the face. Saturn has passed on, and the word has gone forth that powder closes up the pores of the skin and is injurious; and so it is not so extensively used. Doubtless someone will proclaim the fact that a man is not at his best without a beard and the beard will be allowed to grow again. When Saturn enters the 3rd Sign ladies adopt the style of wearing their dresses very low around the neck and short sleeves, but when this planet enters the 4th, it comes into conjunction with the Sun in the 5th. The Sun always stands in the 5th, controlling the region of the heart. The Sun near the change between the 4th and 5th, runs a conjunction with all planets in these two Signs. Tight-lacing comes under the Sun conjunctions, and in our opinion women have no room to throw slurs at men for any foolish habit in which they indulge, until they abandon this reprehensible practice. Neither a woman's muscles nor her vital organs can maintain a normal condition under the pressure of steels. Some women say they cannot live without them, and if that is the case, it is a sign that they have been injured by them. The muscles become weakned to such an extent that some support is necessary. Women should have the same freedom in wearing apparel as men. The close fitting waist is neither beautiful nor comfortable. A costume that is graceful and convenient, and does not demand the use of steel, is the only rational costume to adopt. It is of the utmost importance that a woman's muscles should have full play and should grow strong with abundant freedom and healthful
