Varying Races OF india.

The dominant race In India is the
Aryan, and TO the western family OF
this race the designation Caucasian
has been loosely applied. When the
Aryans descended upon Hindustan
from the SHOWS OF the Pamir they
were confronted by the Dravidha race,
which eventually yielded southwark
and is now represented by such ex-
tremes as the civilized Tamil and the
Kurumbar OF the jungle. This move
ment brought the Dravidha people In
force upon a stock possibly yet earlier.
the Kolarians. who were gradually
forced inland as the invaders occu-
pied the best lands. Both the Dravid-
ha and the Kolarian stock seem 20

Ethiopian, and slight Monaghan in
fusion is suspected. While these three
are the principal races of the indian
peninsula there is a large number OF
small tribes whose affiliations are by
no means clear.

RATHER A LEADING QUESTION
Interrogation Calculated to Embarrass
Anyone But Newspaper
Reporter.

When 1t was rumored that the late
Elijah NJ. Haines would be a candidate
for the speakership of the Illinois
house of representatives, he was be
sieged by reporters for interviews
but he was non-committal. Finally
the reporter for a Chicago newspaper
came to him, along with a bunch OF
other reporters, and he was as ag
gressive and persuasive as John Cor.
win; and quite as handsome. He
wore good clothes. too, and smoked
cigars that spoke for themselves. He
had diamond in his tie, which rivaled
the stars on the heavens for brillian.
cy. Before all of the reporters, Mr..
Haines said:
When l give out this interview. you
shall have 1t In advance of all of these
other reporters. Evidently you are q
man In whom can place confidence
because l see that you have secured
the confidence of some big business
man in Chicago. or elsewhere. That
is a marvellous diamond that you

| so the phrenologist, by recognizing
the qualities belonging to different
portions of the brain, can determine
to certain extent. the prevailing
characteristics of a man by the nature
| of his badness.
The man who is bald at the crown
of his head will be found to be a per-
son of great independence of mind
and inclined TO be self-assertive. He
will express his views regardless of
opposition, and will be apt to be
headstrong and domineering. He will
be somewhat egotistical and OCCASION
ally dignifed
Where the badness extends to the
sides Of the crown the person will be
extremely ambitious and DESTROYS OF
winning popular applause. Vanity also
enters into his composition and super
sensitiveness, providing the whole re-
gion of self-esteem and approbative-
ness are bald.
Robert Ingersoll betrayed in his
bald head decided independence and
little disposition to regard the opin-
ions of others. Popular sentiment has
little effect upon a man Of this stamp

where there is no possibility Of a part,
accompanies a sympathetic type of
mind. All philanthropists and sym
pathetic people are not bald. but
where badness is found in this region
these characteristics are sure to pre-
dominate. When there is no hair at
all on top of the head the quality Of
respect for character and age is
largely developed but not necessarily
a regard for creeds and doctrines.
Fine imagination and breadth Of
thought accompany this type of bald
ness. Anthony Hope the novelist. is
a good example of this type.

prominent, but there is sufficient plia-

British Cabinet Ministers and Golf.

he plays as well as is necessary for
any cabinet minister. Although the
golf standard is on the whole fairly
high among NJ. P.'s there has been nc
one of cabinet rank. with the excep
tion Of Mr.. Alfred Lyttelton, who
could be truthfully described as an &C.

probably the best known of all the

greater than his skill. OF Mr.. Asquith

With no hope In life, q Hull (Eng)
laborer named Joseph Lambert. made
morbidly elaborate preparations for
hanging himself recently. He was a
victim OF cancer and. having come to
the end OF his slender savings. had
only before him the workhouse as the
alternative TO starvation. He lived
alone in cottage, and his self-execu-
ton was thus undisturbed. He built
himself gallows at the stair-head,
using the stairs as the gallows pm His
beam was made of two lengths or
stout timber. dashed together. Through
one OF these he drilled a hole for the
rope. and beneath the cross-piece he
improvised rude platform 10 answer

preparations had plainly occupied him
some considerable time. From appear.
ances II is also evident that he had
read up the subject of hanging: he
had tried to gauge the necessary
length OF the drop by his weight. and,
when all was ready he had adjusted
the moose TO his neck with the knot
behind the ear. as the professional
hangman is reputed to do to his sub
ject But careful as he was. he had
overlooked one imuortant point which
the hangmaQ never fOrgets. testing
the strength of the rope The result
was that when he performed the final
fatal act the rope snapped with his
weight. But the Jerk at the end of
the drop had at the same moment full
filled its purpose and dislocated his
neck. He was found lying dead at the
foot of the stairs.

to what science says:
Various emotions and qualities OF

parts Of the brain. Hence. just as on-

another, so his brain is differently

THE part Of n mans brain which
is most active is the region where
the circulation Is most stimulated.
other parts Of the brain are compar-
atively cold and inactive. The greater
the power the more the blood will be
drawn to those areas, not, as most
persons suppose through the arteries
and veins only. but also through the
pia mater. which dips down between

is only about one-seventeenth of the

II Is said that Mark Twain has made
only one public appearance as polit-

presidential campaign some years ago.
While visiting In Elmira, N. Y, in
the fall of that year, he made short
speech, introducing Gen. Hawley of
Connecticut to Republican meeting.
Among other things he said:
Gen. Hawley is a member of my
church In Hartford, and the author of

LONG AND SHORT HEADS.
The Skull as a Factor in Industrial

Prof. Gustaf Retzuis delivered the an

before the Royal Anthropological Insti-
tute on the north European race. the
blond long-headed race, which has made
It's home in Sweden. After referring to
the classification of races by Linnaeus,
Anders Retzuis and others, and emphasiz-
ing the Importance of craniometry. he
rn-nted out that the Neanderthal race
was closely related to the present Euro
Eean ana should in no sense be regarded
as the missing link. He proceeded to
show that the European peoples nsturaNv
fall into two classes-the long-headed
northern race and the short-headed mad
European race-and continued:

sires a freer, less constrained life, it lacks
the endurance necessary for carrying on
a uniform kind of labor. it has not the
patience to stand chained to machinery

work exactly like machine itself. 1t re-
ouires high wages for moderate amount
of work and short hours, that 1t may

be far better suited for the demands of
Industrial life: he is satisfied with a
little, is possessed of patience and en-
durance even when things are dull and
dreary and his work firing and little re-
munerative: he is not so much addicted to
expensive forms of recreation. but lays
by money for his family and for old age.
We have not as yet any statistics based
upon anthropological research into the
racial characters of industrial operatives,
but. to judge by the information I have
received privately, l should be inclined to
conclude that wherever the two races are
