Mems Heads.

The question whether our heads are small
er than those of our grandfathers has been
attracting particular attention in European
circles. The subject was first agitated by
writers of Nature, London, one of whom, Mr..
F. F. Tuckett, insists that the average size of
hats has decreased one size in the last twen-
ty-fve years, which means, if the criterion
is to be trusted, diminution of three-eighths
of an inch in average circumference. AS
Mr.. Tuckett adduces in evidence of his as
sertion the testimony of leading hatters in
London, he is probably right so far as that
part of the case is concerned. But there are,
as Mr.. Charles Roberts explained III a rel Join
der to Mr.. Tuckett, various reasons for the
average decrease in the size of hats, without
accepting that gentleman's view OF the cause.
In the first place. men wear their hair crOpp-
ed more closely than they did years ago, and,
in the second place, the fashion now is to
wear ones hat on the top of the head, in
stead of pulling it down over the ears, as
was done by men Of the last generation.
Again, the tall hat is low worn by large
class of persons who are uniformly small
headed, such as clerks and shopmen, who
formerly did not affect such luxury, while,
on the other hand, many persons of the large
headed class, clergymen and others, who
wore tall hats only years ago, have now
given them up, and prefer the soft felt to the
uncomfortable section of stove-pipe once in
vogue. The only way to get at the truth
would be to examine the statistics of each
class separately, and to make an allowance
of quarter of an inch for the present mode
of wearing the hat and cropping the hair.
But if Mr.. Tucketts view is to be accepted,
then, while the head has lost in size, there
has been general gain in weight and vigor
of body; for, comparing the statistics of fac
tory children in 1888 with those of 1873 in
England, it is found that childred of 10 years
of age now are as tall of stature and as
heavy as children of II years of age were
forty years ago. There is great variety.
however, in the size of heads in the intel
lectual classes in England. According to
Mr.. Tuckett, Lord Chelmsford wears a 81 hat
only, and the sizes of some prominent people
he gives as follows The late Dean Stanley,
81; Lord Beaconsield, Z: the Prince OF
Wales q; Charles Dickens, IT,. Lord Sell
bourne, "a John Bright, II Lord Russell.
II; Macaulay, the historian, 7a Mr.. Glad
stone q Thackeray, 7s Louis Philippe, 7a;
Mr.. Julien, the celebrated musical conductor,
Il and the Archbishop of New York, s.
The prelate must possess a head of nearly
twenty-four inches in circumference, while
that of Dickens was average, and the pump
kin-head Of Louis Philippe was very large.

They came down stairs and instituted 1
search, ,andup pom entering the store found
the front and back doors standing open
They did not see any one, and afteI
fastening the doors, went up stairs and
searched the upper part of the house
when Mrs. Wier rememb bered that they
had not examined an alley leading I'd
the store, and they ventured to make
sure that it was safe.
After another unsuccessful search
they were about to 20 up stairs again,
when a short, thick set man suddenly
appeared and threw tin can of fruit,
which struck Mrs. Wier IN the back Of
the head, and then made his escape
An investigation showed that he had a
quantity of groceries and other articles,
with the contents of the money drawer
and II silver pitcher, ready for removal,
Which the unexpected appearance of
the lady prevented. Fortunately Mrs
Wier was not seriously injured, al
though she said this morning that she

are all genuine paper hangers, not a
"Greenman" among them. Now, if We

it would be a "GOod bye" and could

HANtiMAN'S DAY.
Two Human Beimxs Sent to Eterni.
~ by the HeImpen Line.

ELIlABETHTOwN, n. Y, April o.
Henry Deieonac DE Bosnys was exc
cuted here to-day for the murder of his
wife, Eliza De Bosnys, in Westport
on August l, 1882. De Bosnys passed
his las night III Jail quietly and slept
well. On awakening this morning he
commenced the day with his usual
series of noises in imitation of different
animals, of which he was Il perfect
mimic. He ate a hearty breakfast and
then went out to view the gal Ows. He
said it was good one and well finish
ed, and talked and joked with his
guards. The rope was thoroughly test
ed with bag of sand weighing 100
pounds. The people came into town
from all directions unit large crowd
had assembled to witness the execu-
ton.
The morning dawned cloudy, with a
strong westerly wind and some rain,
but at eleven o'clock the sky became
clear and the wind subsided. The peo-
pie present kept very quiet and no
sympathy was expressed for the con-
demned man. No liquor was allowed
to be sold in the town. The Sheriff
shortly before noon entered the Jail
yard, followed by seventy spectators.
The sheriff and a deputy sheriff en-
tered the cell and pinioned the prisoner
who was then brought into the yard.
AT ten minutes Of twelve o'clock De-
bosnys ascended the steps of the gal
lows slowly. He did not exhibit any de
gree of fear, hesitation or emotion. AT
ter he was placed on the drop a strap
was fastened around his legs at the
knees.
The Rev. Father Reddington, who
WI, with him, sad prayer and then
asked the prisoner if he had anything
to say. Debosnys replied " | have, |
am innocent of the crime. You have
made a mistake The blood on nv
knife was the blood of d chipmunk. +"
The black cap was placed on his head
and the drop fell at tifty-tour minutes
past eleven o'clock.
There was no struggle or perceptibe
quiver. The body was cut down at
twenty minutes past twelve o'clock
At half past one clock the yard was
cleared and DR.. Patterson, of Westport,
took possession of the body, for which
he had paid Sl5 to the deceased, who
told one person that he was going to use
the money to buy a donkey to ride
through purgatory.
WALHALLA, 5. c., April E,-Fra-
zier Copeland was hanged here to-day,
between y and l O'Clock, for the muir
der ofWilliam John Hunnicutt on the
second Of last December. About an hour
before his execution he was permitted to
make statementfrom window Of the
Jail to the crowd outside, in which he
asserted his entire innocence Of the
crime. His neck was broken and he died
with scarcely a tremor. This is the first
hanging that ever occurred in Oconce
county.
