Troubles of the Markha m CombInatIOm
In Chicago.

heaps Of trouble here. Remembering the lit
tie incident OF nine years ago, when Pauline
and Lydia Thompson Gowhidsd him for SLAM

TO permit the former to advertisein his paper.
Two insertions Of Hoodley's advertisement Of
the Plnafore company got In before he ordered
1t out and returned the money.
Miss Markham says: accompanied Lydia
Thompson when she castigated Story, and I
helped to pay him back for calling us naughty
names by giving him few good strikes with
o rawhide. Since then he has missed no op-
portunity to abuse me In his paper, although
his attacks have rather helped me than other
wise. Everybody knows what an Infamous
old liar he ID, and last Sundays article re-
fiecting on mo only aided In advertising us.
Internal dssention Is also present Id Pau
lines combination. Last night after the per-
formance w. Irving, her business manager,
and Col. Mcmahon, her husband, had an al

bezzlement will be brought against Markham

Measuring Hea Is.

The London Medical Record sums up as
follow, the result of some very interesting
measurements Of heads by two French ply
sicians. Messrs- Lacassagne and CliQuet:
Having the patients, doctors, attendants,
and. Officers Of the yalde Grace at thtir
disposal, they measured the heads Of 1870 doc
tors OF medicine, 1873 soldiers who had re-
ceived an elementary instruction; 80 sol
diers who could neither read nor write, and
81 soldiers who were prisoners. The instru-
ment used was the same which hatters en-
ploy in measuring the heads Of their custom
ers; it is called the confrnnator, and gives
q very correct idea of the proportions and
dimensions OF the heads in question. The
results were in favor Of the doctors, the from
tai diameter was also much more consider
able than that Of the soldiers, etc. Nor are
bath halves OF their heads svmmetrically
deveIoped-in students. the left frontal re-
gion is more developed than the right; in IL
~liiera,e individuals, the right occipital re-
gion is larger than the left. The authors
have derived the following conclusions from
their experiments: /. The heads OF stu
dents who have worked much with their
brains are more developed than those Of il
literaie individuals, or such as have allowed
their brain to remain inactive. 2. In stu
tents the frontal region is more developed
than the occipiial region. or. if there should
be any difference in favor Of the latter. it is
very small. while in illiterste people the
latter region is the largest.
