A GIRL in st. Joseph, Mo-, went to drug store
to buy arsenic with which to kill herself The
clerk happened to know that she had quarrelled
with her lover, and he guessed her purpose. He
gave her corn starch instead of arsenic, and hur-
ried ont to tell her lover The lover repented
having grieved the girl, went to her house, found
her lying on a sofa waiting in vain to die OF a
dose of corn starch, and made up with her.

the Republicans from 1880 to 1s4s,
were very ~capacions. The quarter
in which are the largest heads in
Paris is that Of the schools. The
hatters of the Faubourg st. Ger
main say they only fit fine heads.
The Polytechnicians have larger
heads than the st. Oyrians, and the
students of the normal school larger
than those of st. Sulpice, etc. The
members Of the clergy present a
peculiar feature in these statistics.
"In general" says M. Delaunay,
men from thirty to forty years Of
age have a larger head than those
fromtwenty to thirty. Not SO with
ecclesiastics, for their heads cease
to grow at about twenty-five. The
cures, bishops, archbishopS, etc,
have no larger heads than the stu
dents of the large seminaries."

Of Paris offers some curious results
Accepting it as true that the ca
pacity of the Uranium and develop

to the external volume of the head;
also, that the intelligence is proper
tional to the volume and weight of
the brain, he shows, inter ALA, that
certain families develop like indi-
viduaIs-that is, they have a period
Of growth, then a stationary period,
then a period of decrease, previous
to extinction. In families in the
first period the head enlargeS from
generation to generation. The citi-
zens who wrought the revolution
of 1889 had bigger heads than
their fathers. On the ether
hand, in families that are nearing
extinction the head grows smaller.
The soHs Of the present ruling
families in France have such small
heads, according to the author, that
they require hats specially made
for them. Among certain families
newly risen from the common peo-
pie the head increases from genera
