The refined sugar market is steady, with
tendency TO lower prices. Barkley Thompson
say Of the Louisiana crop: "All the trouble and
delay resulting from the lack of water is now
past. Grinding has now become quite general,
and each days receipts include first shipments
from additional plantations. The cane is quite
ripe and rich, although small, and is yielding
very fine quality of juice. The tonnage to the
acre in some cases is very light, but on the aV-
erage is fair, considering that most Of the plant
ers are as yet only cutting their stubble cane.
AT present writing we see no reason TO change
our last estimate, and repeat that with favora-
BILE weather during October and November the
crop will reach from Us, 900 to 100000 hhds.,
probably the latter figure. The crop is fully
week later than last year, as will be seen from
tne comparative receipts The general quallty
OF the sugar arriving is good" Nothing new to
note in the produce markets.

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 OF
without security, is lying cheat, and his
security is worthless.
The man who templs you to bet on
any game, is a gambler and 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 a
confidence man who lives by swindling
such as you.
The man who begs of you is a lazy
yagabond. 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.
The young woman who looks at YOU
so eoyly. or speaks to you as stranger,
is the companion of the thug. Shun her
rs you would pestiience.

In a recent lecture before the stu
dents OF John Hopkins University, Pro-
fessor Stanley Hall said that the iunda-
mental idea of modern education must
be that the peculiar traits of each ndi-
yidual 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

the lecture was the Importance of a more

Large and Small Heads.

Lord Bacon SAYS in one of his APP
othegms, "that wise nature did never
put her precious jewelsinto garnet foul
stories high, and therefore that exceed
ing tall men had ever verv empty
heads" This saving 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: GOTTEN the eockloft
is empty in those whom Nature hath
built many stories high
Baeon's notion may be true. though
we doubt if facts support it, But there
is another common saying which facts
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 rustles ranged around;
And still they gazcd, and still the wonder
grew,
That one sm0H head could carry all he knew"
A writer in the ,IoarRat OF Science SAYS
that the idea that great intellect re-
gnres 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 10 the painters,
who agreed with the general opinion and
wished to ilatter their sitters.
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
work receded.
Other great men have had positively
small heads. Lord Byron's was IRE
markablv small"
Men of genius of ancient times have
only what may be called an ordinary Oh
everyday forehead, and Herodotus,
Alcibiades, Pluto, Aristotle and Epi-
Gurus, among others, are mentioned az
instances.
Some are even low browed, as Burton,
the author of 1.-The Anatomy of Melan
choly." 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, ifnot 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
