Tho eminent French expert, DR.. DELoNE,
publishes in tho CiUoniQue Isiagogiral some
interesting observations rcspe0 ting the relative
measurement of the heads %, men engaged in
different pursuits. He found the nrse-t size
OF head among men leading what is called the
intellectual life but even among them there are
great variations Thus. the members OF the
Academy Of Sciences have larger heads than
the other Acnlcm.cans the students Of the
polytrchnic School have lnrcar heads than the
students %. tho Military S'ho9. Of 81. Cyr; and
the heads OF tho stulru,s ot the Theological
Seminary Of 81. Suiplce are smaller than tho
heads of thcstuleuts OF the Normal : school. The
heads OF tho French clergy were found to be
smaller In size than the heads 81 men in other
learned pursuits. The French hattcrs act upon
the knowledge possessed hy them. faint the
smallest average head is that 81 the lahorer
and the hoad Of the mason is about the samo
size-thus jusutying the French proverb which
refers 10 the mason rs being very small headed.
The head Of the army officer is larger than TINT
Of the private soldier and the hospital doctor
has a larger head than the hospital nurse. Dr.
DELoNE's observation has led him 10 believe
that the head Of the peasant who leaves rustic
life for Partisan life increases IN Size after
the change, and that in general. the use Of tho
brain enlArges the head.

The recent death Of LEWIS CLEMENT, said
TO he the last Canadian pensonrr Of the war II
lSl2, directs attention to an important change
which has been steadily but almost impercopt-
IDLY going on in the character Of the Canadian
people. The Acknowledgement by England Of
the independence Of tho United States was fol-
lowed by the expatriation of thousands Of 10y

CLEMENT was one OF those children, but there
were many others like him. The American
loyalst element exercised marked in

tenacious fidelity to Great Britain had much
to do with rendering abortye the schemes Of
malcontents and with defeating insurrection-

Thrown down and scattered BY thessy,
OF aogry weather.
No. the sad thunder-stroke
O'ersweeps their lowly bower;
The storm that tramples 90 the OAK

No violence makes them erieve,
No wrath hath done them wrong,

The branch 10 which they cluns.'
They yield them one by one,
To the light breeze and shower.
