A Child without n Skull.

A remarkable freak Of nature was
exhibited In Cincinnati In the way Of
u child which has managed to live for
seventeen months without that bony
"dome Of thought" which Is regarded
rs essential TO continued existence.
Moreover, says the Enquirer, the child
seems TO have no use for brain, II
the eyes may be believed, for, in the
absence of q skull, tho head Is trans
lucent and almost transparent, while
by the aid Of u lamp properly
held II may 10 perceived that
the brain cavity Is filed with
u colorless fluid. Nothing exists
in this serum that can be perceived.
The head is larger than the body, the
increase Of size being almost entirely
above the temples, and measures
twenty-seven inches around. The lower
face is perfect, and the chihl would be
pretty but for the monstrous develop.
ment. The rapid growth of the head
has drawn the skin until the cyelids
will not close and the eyebrows are
pulled up an inch above the normal
position. When IN Enquirer reporter
visited the child it was asleep, and its
mother would not allow it to be
awakened for experiments. a rather
dim coal oil lamp was placed behind
the monstrous head and CLEANED
through it as though the skin formed
the only obstacle to the light.
The child has every appearance, eX.
cept in the color of the skin, of good
health. 1t is fully developed, is very
plump, and is said to be strong, while
it has good appetite. In all its hab-
its it is regular, and like any other
child. That it should have progressed
so far as to have been weaned, main
tanning good health, and should have
reached its teething period, is one OF
the wonders of physiology. Its senses
are said to be perfect and acute, and
it possesses enough intelligence to
smile family when tickled and to rec
ognize food when he sees it. When
the child was born it was known as
"the headless baby" as it seemed cut
off above the ears on a line sloping
toward the nape of the neck, while a
wrinkled skin covered the top. 1t
suffered greatly and its life was pre-
served with difficulty. At three or
four weeks of age the skin began totill
out, when the child's sufferings ceased
and it enjoyed good health. The
growth has been constant since.

The Steam Which Keeps Business
Moving.

GA reporter dropped into our largest
retail establishment Wednesday.
You have a great rush of business,
remarked the reporter.
Yes replied the proprietor, partly
because it is holiday season, but mainly
on account of Advertising
How can you tell whether advertis.
ing pays?'
II can tell that advertising pays by
stopping. it I've tried it. Trade
drops; the tide of purchasers flows
some other way
Suppose you should give up adver-
tisingY
Il should save a big pile of money,
but should lose bigger pile. You
must keep the boilers heated if you
want steam. If you bank your fires
too long, it takes time to start up,
Advertising is the steam which keeps
business moving. I've studied the
natter Boston Journal.

The Yuraki and Samoyedes wander
about clad in winter in reindeer skins
from head to foot, leaving exposed only
a small portion of the face. They are
excellent archers, and in hunting they
still use the bow, fire arms and powder
being not yet easily within their reach.
The women use good deal of orna-
ment on their dresses, In the shape of
pieces of bright colored cloth, while on
their tresses, thrown behind, dangle q
number of trinkets, as odd sometimes
as the lock Of a gun. Their shamans
or priests cover their dresses with
pieces of metal, which make noise in
their religious dances. They use also
a magician's drum, which is found
among the Laplanders. The Yuraki
are among the least Christianized Of
the Siberian tribes. In many cases
they. transform the trunks of trees
into idols. Among those furthest north,
dogs are used for draught, and occa-
sionally are allowed to come within
the owners habitation, but they are
not affectionate animals, having to be
ruled by fear rather than by love. The
Russian exiles living on the Obi are
not in confinement, but are placed in
the villages to get their own living, or
partly so. This they do by commerce,
fishing and hunting. They 60 about
in winter on snow-shoes. Occasionally
the better educated among the exiles
find employment in teaching and in
photography. Mr.. Lansdell, in his re-
Gently issued "Through Siberia" says:
"That the commercial value of the
basin Of the Obi, and large part of
Western Siberia, is not yet realized by
European capitalists is the opinion OF
most of those who have been there"
He speaks of the Altai mountains as
rich in silver, copper and iron, and of
a belt of black earth, 900 miles wide,
like a vast tract Of garden land, well
suited for the production of wheat,
oats, linseed, barley and other cereals,
and from which the inhabitants can
easily obtain great deal more corn
than is needed for their consumption.

snake stories were then closed

| fair prices. Some of the master
pieces Of Hank Monk were dis
posed of at good figures, the GER
tificate of the great author ac-
companying the piece. TWO
bear stories by Old Yank Of the
Tallac House, made quite a SEN
| sation. Some political prognos-
tications by Gus Lewis met with
a good reception. One was
double back acting and worked
with reverse springs SO as to fit
any result. A groupe OF big
snake stories, including the
time-honored discovery of a
cave with S73 rattlesnakes,
caused quite a breeze. The San
Francisco Bulletin took the lot.
Some endorsements of George
Gorham were snapped up by
Frank Pixley at cash rates.
CARD EXTRACTS.
Some Samples of personal
abuse for the benefit Of political
card writer's brought good prices.
The favorites were such express
sions as "slimey liar" "dirty
cur" "monumental scrub" and
"fraud of the first water.' They
were mostly knocked down to
Eureka men on 60 days time.
An effort was made to dispose
of the words "yclept' and
"anent," but no amount of per-
suasion on the part of he auc-
tiOneer could make these in

They fell fiat on the market. A
few stanzas of machine poetry
and some two ply jokes were
distributed gratuitously and the
crowd dispersed.

Lights o. London.

There was a large audience
last night to see the "Lights O.
London" 1t is a magnificent
melodrama with very little plot,
but this defect does not seem to
worry the audience much, as
the dramatic action of the piece
make them forget that plot is
necessary. The playwright
seems to have bent every energy
in grouping together in one
play as much scenery, startling
effects and pleasing stage pic
lures as possible. He has intro
duced numberless little scenes
which do not appear to exactly
belong to the piece, yet are
