What is your intellect and mine. This
world Is ruled by six small heads.
James Anthony Froude.
II a man we're balanced in such a way
/ as TO rule the world through all its ave
nues Of possibilities by oratory, popular
ity and craftsmanship. his head would
present a series Of bumps that would en-
| title him 10 the title Of The Curved
Head" It would be a mass Of bumps so
pronounced as to make scallops from his
collar button to his forelock, and from ear
to ear, between the scallops would lie the
lesser traits. but the scallops would be the
ruling ones.
Great men have some one prominent
trait that makes them great. It shows it.
self in bump somewhere on the head.
! Back Of the bump is a brain development
that forces out the bump in childhood.
This part or that part Of the brain grew.
If the man has a good head along with
this one bump he becomes great II he has
a poor head and one bump he becomes a
crank.
If the temple, say, is large and back of
1t there is a lumpy feeling; If there is a
decided coming out Of the head at the side
on a line with the eyes; if the head from
the front looks too big and the face has
an awkward setting then there is con-
structiveness there. The bump, without
good rounding head makes a second-rate
| builder one who can carry only the plank
| while the other man nails it, But as the
| head grows better and better developed,
the ''constructiveness grows with it.
In its highest form constructiveness
| means scheming and planning. In many
heads this is very prominent. Take the
| head of that arch schemer. Mark Hanna
| who Is proud of his schemes and see how
| prominent is the side development. This
is almost lump upon the brow of Hanna.
| He knows it means constructiveness. In
the hands of a phrenologist he could act
as a walking signpost of the accuracy OF
| his science. ructiVeness brings sue.
cess in business and skill in overcomins
obstacles.
The head of Bryan is peculiar in the
| development of a lump in an unusual spot
| IL is just above the line where a man lets
his hat rest. In Mr.. Bryan's head It Is
so large and round that he is forced to
wear his hat a little front to accommo-
date it, or obtain very large hat THIS
is the bump of appreciation. In itself IL
is bump that is the most
agreeable of any on the head
1t means love of approval. sifted into its
component parts II means kindness 70
others, an effort to please, a constant seek
ing to do the popular thing. 1t is the
bump of diplomacy, of happy home life
and of religion.
Men with this lump are always good
! takers IN nj
them orators Back of the talk there are
pleasing qualities, that is, if the lump tap
ers off gradually. Examine your head
for this. A good sloping bump is the best
gift man can have, but 1t must slope
The bump Of benevolence lies well to-
ward the front OF the head This shows
in the way man wears his hat. man
with benevolent bump will wear his hat
far back. 1t is more comfortable pushed
back from that bump. Benevolent men
have trouble fitting a hat. 1t sets too
tight on the head That bump fills the
front of it too closely. This is McKinley's
great bump. II 1t sloped a little more
abruptly it would mean a spend thrift. As
it is 1t means charity, gift. 1t means be-
stowal of means, anything one has. It is
apt to mean improvidence and not enough
| sclfshness.
The ambitious mans head rises toward
the back. There is a spot midway the
parting where the bump OF ambition has
It's source. Ambitious men get bald early
and show ii quickly, for the top of the
head is high enough TO be visible from an
sides. 1t rises like a little mountain. Very
sanguine people have this bump. Also
ambitious, hopeful ones. Men with this
development are almost sure to get rich.
LOT tney Keep on plodding and keep on
clmbing. You cant drive them away
They see hope beyond. 1t is the optimis-
tic bump This shows plainly in the head
OF Hobart, of New Jersey 1t betokens A
genial sunny, cheerful disposition and
one that knows no disbursement for II
; sees dawn always.
Around the ear there is a region known
as combativeness. 1t begins little in front
of the ear and reaches all around il If
specially extends back OF it and little
up. The man with a bump here is natural
ly combative. He has that warlilSe ton
, dency that makes him speak up for his
principles where others would write for
them The combative men carries the ar
gument in the enemy's camp and fights
for right.
Watson. of Georgia, has a large COM
bative field. In his case il is aided bv the

pump. rms large raised portion around the
= ears belongs to Gladstone and to Bismarck
1t is so pronounced with them that II
makes the ears of both set out though
they have small ears; and in the case of
} Kaiser Wilhelm il almost deforms him.
The trait is a useful one in certain fields.
but the men who have it must hope for
- that nice balancing of other qualities
which these well-known men have.
Two peculiar bumps lie at the lower
back OF the head. These are love of fam
! lily and friendship" The former is low
: est and is so highly developed in the head
of Levi P. Morton that phrenologists use
his head in their advertisements. Above if
lies friendship" This, in the head of
Sewall Of Maine, is the largest bump. His
enemies envy him this big round spot on
the back of his head, for it brings him
friends. 1t is the altruistic bump, love of
! fellow man.
5 man with this bump may be "a fool,
a spendthrift, a rake, a drunkard, but he
r will not be a mean man. His hand will
= be against nobody but himself In its best
form this bump brings popularity. II
brings power, too, for the German saying
"A man can go through the world with
his hat in his hand is true all over
