Ears as an index of Character.

, PS ranoioaio.l Journal. Large ears, can hear things in general, ana denote broad, comprehensive view and modes of thought, while smull ears bear things in particular, showing adispositloh to individualize, often accompanied’ by love of the minute. Large ears.are usually satisfied with learning the facts of a case, with the general principles involved—too strict attention to the enumeration of details, especially -all repetition of the mpre unimportant, is wearisome to them. People with such ears like generally, and are usually well-fitted, to conduct large enterorises. to receive and pay out large sums; in buying or selling would prefer to leave a margin rather than reduce the quantity of any sort to the exact dimensions of the measure specified, and in giving would prefer to give with a free hand and without too strict a calculation as to the exact amount. Small ears, on the contrary, desire the main facts: take delight often in examining,handling or constructing tiny specimeus of workmanshipV are disposed to be exact with res]>ect to inches and ounces in buying or selling.—to the extent, at least, of knowing the fexact number over or under the stated measure given or received. People with such ears would, in most cases, prefer a retail to a wholesale business.
