GERMAN RACE OF AMAZONS.
Feminine Peasants of Lithuania to
Form X aiser's Bodyguard.

CoTH ha1Ser'6 bO0yXuarQs
Once again Kaiser Wilhelm does the
diplomatic thing. Recently the Kaiser
gladdened the hearts of 800 Lithuanian
girls by accepting a petition which they
sent to him when they heard that ar
engagements were making for the fall
imperial hunt in the northern provinces
of Prussia.
The Lithuanian girls are famous horse
women, and on this ground they petit
toned the Kaiser that he accept the
services of 800 of their number as his
guard of honor while he remained in
their province. In offering themselves
for this duty they stipulated that their
sovereign should rely upon them and
permit of no other bodyguard.
The province of Lithuania is the most
northern of the empire. The women
would make Il perfect type of amazon
and are mostly descendants of the race
that became famous under the Jagellons.

MUST HAVE A LARGE HEAD.

All things being equal" said the
phrenologist, size is the measure Of
power. That is, a man with a small
head cannot get TO be president OF the
United States, nor can really small
man attain to that position. They
have a comparison OF the men who
have been presidents OF our nation,
consisting of the relative size of their
heads and their respective weights,
which goes to show that they have
been tall men, and that they have bad
large heads.
Psychologists also state that be-.
cause a man has a large head 1t is no
reason to believe that he has an unus-
ual amount of brain power. But they
say that he has the best opportunity
for development and he can cram more
learning into his head than the man
with the smaller head, People with
thin heads are usually ruled by the
broad heads. The protuberance imme.
diately above and behind the ears de-
notes executive force and ability, and
man with a narrow head has little
of this power The best lawyers and
statesmen have wide, broad heads. The
argumentatlye faculty, which is located
in front on each side of the top Of the
head, is well developed in these per-
sons, so that it gives the Uranium its
shape
you can generally tell whether a
man is refined in his tastes by the
width of his forehead, above the eye
brows. If he has a good development
above his eyes he is a man who knows
what is going on in the world about
him. You can tell a mans generosity
and his sympathetic powers by the
size of his head at the forward portion
on top, You can also determine some
thing about his own estimation OF him-
self and his ability to stand by poini
If he thinks he is in the right by know
ing the exact size OF his head from the
middle of each ear to the crown. HIS
fghting qualities and his ability to|

GIRAFFEs IN CENTRAL AFRICA.
Herd of Them Found in the Marimba
District by Hunter.

From time to time it has been
rumored that giraffes existed in Brit
ish Central Africa, on the Loangwa
River, but, although that river valley
has been frequently visited since che
last ten years by Europeans, no au-
thentic information on the point has
ever been obtained. Last month, how
ever O giraffe was shot on the east
bank of the Loangwa in the Mar'mba
distriu. by a European prospector. and
it's skin (incomplete) sent in to Cap
tain Chichester The hinder half of
the skin is being sent to the British
Museum, and ii is hoped that a com
plete specimen may now be obtained.
The existence Of CRATES in Marin
ba is remarkable; the area in which
they are found Is extremely restricted.
ana their number appears to be very
few. The one shot however, was in
q herd of about thirty-hye. The near

giraftes are known TO exist Is north Of

petition met with them Cmany years
