The Sizes or Heads.

The controversy over the question Of
whether mems headss are smaller now
than they were a hundred years ago
suggelts to New York paper another,
the inquiry whether there is any note
worthy difference in the sizc OF heads at
the present time in this city among the
representatives Of various races. nation
alities and social conditions. Careful
inquiry among tho hatters fails to de-
velop the existence of any tuch differ
ence, to such an extent or with such
regularity OF application that it can
be formulated or stated as even ap-
proXimating to n fact 4 celebrated
uptown halter said, when questioned
on the subject: 4" With the excep-
tion Of Spanish Americans, who seem to
have generally small heads, know OF
no people whose heads do not average,
in point OF size, just about the same as
any other peoples heads. Cuban and
South American heads are frequently as
small as 81 and seldom run over u.
But then it m 1st be remembered that
they are generelly rather undersized
people. with small, bony structures.
Where you come across n big one
among them his head is likely to be, in
proportion, equally as exceptional as
his body. The Scotch are, as q rule,
big-bonei people, and they have big
heads, running very generally from
z. up to a. and in some instances as
high as s. But the latter number is
rare, even among the Scotch. Leave
nut these nAtionalilies OF extremes and
all the rest are just about equal.

"You have dropped something. Miss

"Your lilacs, Captain Brabazan !" she
said.
His face frightened.

anchorite that you did not care for
flowers or books or society--that you
were not even going to church on

"I?' cried Madeline. "Oh, Captain
Brabazan, like all three cried over

They seemed to me like dear friends

asked, hurriedly; "ior I do not want
you to think me avarcious or semi bar
barian, as my cousins sometimes pro
nounce me. And then you shall tell mo
whether You think 1 am right or

They walked slowly home from
church in the soft, bland sunlight OF
that Easter day. and when they reached
the bros stone mansion on Silverston
street, Captain Brabazan went in and
formally asked Mrs. Ds Novelties per-

There was no denying that Mrs. De
Novelties was much disappointed. Emily
and Alicia had been in society three
seasons now without having received
any eligible offer; and 1t did seem
strange that this pale, quite little girl
from the backwoods, as Mrs. De No
velles contemptuously expressed it,
should have carried Off such a glitter
ing prizo as Captain Brabazan-for it
never occurred to them that Madoline's
sweet unselHshness and quiet self-do-
nial could possibly have anything to do
with the matter.
And rs long as old Cousin Zephaniah
and his wife lived, Captain BrAbazan
made them an annual allowance, which
was ample for their simple wants.
