HEADS AND HATS.
' ShVLN ' being the aveiage size of a man's head ab measured by his hab, ifc appears that out of iomtecn distinguished peisonagcb, two (Lord Chelmsiord and JDean Stanley) were below, while other two (Lord Beacon-sfield and the Prince of Wales) were exactly up to the average. Of the obheis, Dickens, Solbouine and Bright required 7.1, Earl Ru&bell 7i, Lord Macaulay, Gladsfcone and Thackeray 7.4, Louis Philippe 7.f, and the Archbishop ot York 8 full. Of twenty - three distinguished men whose actual brain- weights are known, four, including the late Professor Hughes Bennett and Hermann, the philologist, were distinctly below the average, showing that a well-constituted brain of small dimensions may be capable of doing much bettor work than many a larger organ whose internal constitution is, iroin some cause or other, defective.
