The Columbian.
One of the most remarkable indications of
the truth and practical reliability of phre"
biological science is found in the cranial de-
velopments of the candidates for the presi-
dency, and will be apparent upon the
first glance at any accurate profile
presentation of Garfield and Hancock
Make circlo--a geometric line with its
center in the esr-hole of each head-and it
will show Garfield very strong in the region
of perception about the eyes, profound in
the region of intellect, very large in the re-

His developments here not only indicate

feeble conscience, but tally precisely with
the history Of the man.
The infamous 1929 could not find place
where it is found, if conscience had occupied
this space, as it does in the brain Of Han
cock.
The one started out as canal-driver aim

he steered towards the teachers profession,
before filing that bill he aspired to become
a preacher, before filling any mission in that
work no became a soldier, abandoning that he
became politician, and in that role found
himself unable to withstand the temptations
of the situation, and fell q victim to the wiles
of Ames and Shepherd.

from the eye to the back head which passes
through the several regions where al the sell

Hancock set out in life to become a soldier
and has steadily pursued that purpose and no

precisely what is conceded 10 his character,
and may be summed up us follows:
1st-Clear and correct ideas, with trans
cendent executive powers.
2d.-Honest, pronounced and swerving
convictions.
3d.-Reliablity and certainty of char
acter.
Considering the vicissitudes which mani
testify betide the immediate future Of our
country, any considerate person can readily
