LONDON, Dec. 2S.--A proposal that all candidates for parliament should submit to examination by a phrenolo. gist and have their bumps told" ia one of the features of the annual re. port of the British Phrenological so- ciety. which has just completed it's annual meeting here.
 The states need of phrenology is evident in nearly every department of government administration" said one of the speakers at the convention. Particularly in the election of mem bers of parliament, it seems to us that the best fitted candidate, accord ing to the formation of his head and the volume and quality of his brains, is not always elected. A phrenologic- al examination of all candidates would save an immense amount of unnecs- sary misunderstanding, laundering and expense.
 "The system which we propose was tried on some candidates for the Brighton town council recently with satisfactory results. Phrenology should be utilized in this way in every town and city.
 We have heard a good deal lately in political circles about brain eff ficiency,' but it has all been talk be- cause the authorities have no scien- tific formula by which they can cal eulate a candidates brain capacity or his intellectual grip and ability, nor will they ever have it until they call
