Mr.. Ellermann, the wharf lessee, has begun
work repairing the levees injured by the late
storm, but under protest, claiming that his
contract does not obligate himself to repair
damages caused by "providential accidents
or injuries inflicted by nature" Mr.. Eller-
mann seems to think that his obligations are
limited to the usual tear and wear of the river
front. At the City Hall there seems to be q
desire that he or somebody else shall establish

Some exceedingly interesting statements
relative to the Significance of the color OF COM
plexion, eyes and hair, were made by DR..
Shaafhausen, at the resent Anthropoligical
Congress at Jenna, Prussia. These con-
illusions are based upon carefully gathered
statistics. Blue eyes, he said. indicate a lack
OF coloring matter, proceeding originally from
inferior nourishment. They evfnce weaker
with dark eyes. This characteristic, carried
to its furthest extent, is shown in Albinos,
who have pink eyes. The prevalence of light
colore.i eyes in the rural districts, Is due TO
food so largely consumed in lieu of meat. A
blonde complexion usually accompanies a
finer organization and higher, thinner voice,
