A Few Frozen Facts.

Every man and boy in the land carries
a pocketbook. Let them cut out the few
facts given below, and put the slip right
on the top of his money, where his eye
will rest upon them the moment he
opens his pocketbook. 1t will save his
money, close up the mock auction stores
and exterminate swindlers and conf.
dence men:
If you want to buy goods of any de-
scription go to known and reputable
dealer.
The man who tells of misfortune and
wants to borrow money of you, with or
without security, is a lying cheat, and his
security is worthless.
The man who tempts you to bet on
any game, is gambler and a blackleg
who will rob you of your money as sure
as you stake it.
The stranger who wants to borrow
money of you, no matter what the story
he tells, or the security he offers, is
confidence man who lives by swindling
such as you.
The man who begs of you is lazy
vagabond. The city takes care of its de-
serving poor.
The man who seeks to lure you into
houses of infamy is a thug who would
murder you for what you have in your
pocket.
Tie young woman who looks at you
so coyly, or speaks to you as stranger,
is the companion of the thug. Shun her
as you would pestilence.

in recent lecture before the stu
dents of John Hopkins University, Pro-
fessor Stanley Hall said that the funda-
mental idea of modern education must
be that the peculiar traits of each indi-
vidual must be sought out and his natural
spheres of thought, that is, the class of
ideas on which it is easiest for him to
think, be developed by the teacher, who
is not the master, but rather the minister
to the one taught. The special plea of
the lecture was the Importance of a more
consistent and systematic study of edu-
cational history in all centers of higher
education.

Wealth..

When we see how wealth is abused by
many who are blessed with it, we wonder
that so many are favored of heaven with
financial success. If parents took half
as much pains to impress upon their
children the virtue of the ri ght use of
money as they do the advlsability of get.
ting it, there would be more good to the
world from its wealth. Nothing is more
absurd than to think one is to spend all
the best years of his manhood in getting
wealth, to enjoy in declining years.
Every family ought to do all in its power,
through father and mother, sons and
daughters, to secure such honest wealth as
it can attain, without sacrificing higher
good. 1t is high art to know how to keep
financial ambition and cheerful benevo-
lence balanced, SO that the one shall not
degenerate into selfshness, nor the other
into disregard of thought. Wealth is too
great blessing to be sarcastically han
died, as it often is in the pulpit, and in
verse. On the other hand, it does not
deserve to be made the god it frequently
is. by parents in their enthusiastic zeal
for their sons business success. Poverty
is as liable to be the fruit of dishonesty
as wealth, and is as likely, perhaps, to
lead to sin. Wealth is good, or bad, ac-
cording to circumstances and motives

Large and Small Heads.

Lord Bacon says in one of his ap-
othegms, that wise nature did never
put her precious jewelsint garret four
stories high, and therefore that exceed
ing tall men had ever very empty
heads" This saying has often been
used by way of a joke at the expense of
tall people, especially those of wit,
genius and reputation.
The same idea is thus quantity put by
witty old Fuller: '.Often the cockloft
is empty in those whom Nature hath
built many stories high"
BacoD's notion may be true, though
we doubt if facts support it. But there
contradict.
1t asserts that men of great intellectual
powers have large and massive heads.
Goldsmith brings out this vulgar opinion
in the familiar lines about the village
school-master:
Amazed the gaping rustics ranged around; !;
And still they gazed, and still the wonder
grew,
That one small head could carry all he knew"
A writer in the Journal of Science says
that the idea that a great intellect re-
quires large head is not supported by
facts.
An examination of busts, pictures,
medallions, etc., of the worlds famous
celebrities almost tends the other way.
In the earlier paintings. it is true, men
are distinguished by their large heads,
but this is attributable to the painters,
who agreed with the general opinion and
wished to flatter their sitters.
A receding forehead is mostly con-
demned. Nevertheless this feature is
found in Alexander the Great and, to a
lesser degree, in Julius Caesar. The head
of Frederick the Great. as will be seen
from one of the portraits in Carlyle's S
work, receded.
Other great men have had positively
small heads. Lord Byron's was "re-
markably SMALL
Men of genius of ancient times have
only what may be called an ordinary or
everyday forehead, and Herodotus,
Alcibiades, Pluto, Aristotle and Epi-
Gurus, among others, are mentioned as
instances.
Some are even ltw-browed, as Burton,
the author of "The Anatomy of Melan-
,holy," and Albert Durer.
The average forehead of the Greek
sculptures in the friezo from the Parthe-
non is, we are told. clover, if anything,
than what is seen in many modern fore
heads"
The gods themselves are represented
with ordinary, if not low, brows." Thus
it appears that the popular notion on the
matter is erroneous, and that there may
be great men with little heads. Youths
