Strumley, did not care a rap no, not a single rap, for every tree that grew in the entire state of Arkansas. What he wanted to do was to show Mr. Stokes Bettina's father that he was worth the while. That is, he wanted to demonstrate it was a good word to demonstrate that he had brains in his cranium as good as many another variety that boasted a trade mark of wider popularity. Had he done it?
In the gorilla and certain other monkeys, the cranium of the adult male presents a strongly-marked sagittal crest, which is absent in the female; and Ecker found a trace of a similar difference between the two sexes in the Australians. We have seen that certain male monkeys have a well- developed beard, which is quite deficient, or much less developed in the female.
Idiotcy is compatible with very various forms and capacities of the cranium, but I know of none which present the least resemblance to the Neanderthal skull; and, furthermore, I shall proceed to show that the latter manifests but an extreme degree of a stage of degradation exhibited, as a natural condition, by the crania of certain races of mankind.

It seemed to her that between that innocent red hair and the cranium were located certain protuberances of a very curious kind; and she remembered with emotion that malediction she had uttered against her daughter on that ever memorable day on which her foot was injured and her washing spoilt. At last, the wedding day arrived.
If the coachman had not had a cranium as hard as iron, he probably could not have received such a storm of fisticuffs without giving up the ghost. Fortunately for him, he had one of those excellent Breton heads that break the sticks which beat them. Save for a certain giddiness, he came out of the scramble safe and sound.
And Father Mazzolin, fully satisfied that the organ of reverence was altogether omitted in his cranium, thought it best to comply. "Ha! you can understand Irish logic as well as the next brave one." And he entered, followed by the Padre, who ground his teeth with mortification.
"I told you I had a special kind of luck you couldn't believe. Did your eyelids twitch any time today?" Fitzgerald swallowed. "They did. And I stopped short an' something that should've knocked my cranium down my windpipe missed me by inches. An' again But no matter. Yes." "Maybe you can believe it, then," said Brink. "Did you ever hear of a man named Hieronymus?"
"Sugar-coated pills?" laughed Janice. "Yes. The old system of pounding knowledge into the infant cranium isn't in vogue any more." "Poor things!" murmured Janice Day, from the lofty rung of the scholastic ladder she had attained. "Poor things! I don't blame them for wondering: 'What's the use? Marty wonders now, old as he is. There is such a lot to learn in the world!"
He arose and stretched himself, baring all his claws and fangs with lazy insolence, for any whom it might concern to see.

At least, she had yanked her cranium quick as quick, and made a noise.
In the Negro, for instance, the stature is less than in the European. The cranium, as is well known, bears a small proportion to the face. Of the extremities the upper are proportionately longer, and there is, in both upper and lower, a less marked preponderance of the proximal over the distal segments.
