Heads are of different shapes and diff
ferent sizes. They are full OF notions.
Large heads do not always hold the
most. Some persons can tell just what
a man Is by the shape Of his head. High
heads are the best kind. Very knowing
people are called long headed. A fellow
that won't stop for anything or anybody
is called hot headed. If he isn't quite
so bright they call him soft headed; If
he won't be cOaxed nor turned. pig head
ed. Animals have very small heads.
The heads of fools slant back. When
your head is cut off you are beheaded.
Our heads are all covered with hair. ex-
cept bald heads. There are other kinds
heads besides our heads. First, there
are barrel heads. Second, there are pin
heads. Third, heads of serm0ns-sOme-
times minister used to have fifteen
heads to one sermon. Fourth, head
wind. Fifth, head of cattle-when a
farmer rsckons up his cows and oxen he
calls them so many head OF cattle. Sixth.
drum heads-drum heads are made of
sheepskin. Seventh, heads or tails
when you toss up pennies. Eighth,
double headers-when you let Oft rock
cts. Ninth, come to head--like boil
or rebellion. Tenth, cabbage heads
ounces are called cabbage heads, and
good enough for them. Eleventh, at
logger heads-whsn yeu don't agree.
Twelfth, heads of chapters. Thirteenth,
head him Off-when you want to stop a
horse or boy. Fourteenth, head Of
the family. Fifteenth, bluhderhead.
Sixteenth, the masthead-where they
send sailors to punish them. Seventeen,
get up to the head-when YOU spell the
word right. Eighteenth, the head Of a
stream-where it begins. Nineteenth,
down by the head-when a vessel is deep
loaded at the bows. Twentieth, figure
head carved on a vessel. Twenty-frst,
the cat head, and that's the end OF a
stick of timber that the ships anchor
hangs by. Twenty-second, headland
or cape. Twenty-third, head of tobac-
co. Twenty-fourth, bulk head-which
is partition in ship. Twenty-6fth.

A Mash.

81 wonder IL that pretty girl over
there is not flirt," said one drummer
to another on an incoming Illinois Gen.
tral train the other day.
"She looks like it," said his companion
"and what is more, she and have spent
good many happy hours together, I've
staid many night at her fathers house,
but don't do that any more, and If you
can make mash on her. 60 ahead"
The other drummer went oyer to
where she sat and said:
Permit me, Madame"
Certainly" she replied.
'My friend sover there says he has
known you for sometime" he continued
as he sat down. She blushed and smiled
sweetly as she acknowledged the old
acquaintance.
"Very nice fellow" said the drummer.
"I-I think he's ever 80 nice," said the
woman modestly.
"Bully fellow, but he amt very popu-
lar with the girls. Don't seem to care
much about 'em."
"Don't he, "she archly inquired.
"NOt very much"
81 like him ever so much. = haye
thought the world of him for long
time"
Happy old boy! Say you coulden't
love me little as his proxy could you"
Goodness, nOp'
"Well. that's pretty tough on me; but
If you think so much of him I'll get up
and let him come over and sit by you"
"Oh. 1 wish you would"
The masher turned red and blue by
turns, and got up and went over and
told his companion what she had said,
and added:
"Say old fellow, you've got her dead.
She's mashed on you the worst way, and
wants you to come oyer and sit by her,"
us that So" queried the other with a
satisfied smile, arising and bowling to
the lady, who beckoned him over to q
seat with her, and then he went over
and put his arm around her, and when
the conductor came along he pointed
them out to him and began to tell him
what a mash the other had made, when
the conductor smiled blandly, and told
him to go and soak his head; that that
was the other drummer's wife, and that
he had known her ever since she was
baby. The masher got off the first time
they came up with a freight train, and
went the balance of the way as live beef.

THE value of Shade Trees.

The Value of Shade Trees.
That our ancestors emanated from the
shades of tree land is one of the few
points on which Moses and Darwin
agree, and it seems hardly probable that
the descendants of q forest race should
be damaged by little tree shade, espe-
cially where that shade is confined to the
six warmest months in the year. After
october, when sunshine becomes pre-
ferable to shade. trees do not obstruct
the rays of the sun. They merely moder'
ste its summer glare, and at noon offer
the best possible refuge from the brood.

rival the anti.calorio arrangements OF
leafy canopy-free access to all the
winds of heaven, and roof impervious

rays. but also to their warmth. which is
felt through shingle roof az plainly as
through flimsy sunshade. But shade

Is recent conversation with q gentle
man who has lived in different parts OF
Texas for nearly fifty years, lie said: The
frequent jokes on the oldest inhabitant,'
as seen In the press, are often just. vent
ure to assert that for some years past the
Oldest and most intelligent citizens OF the
country, as weather prophets, have been
somewhat as dismasted ship at sea with
out chart or compass. This is so, as oil
such citizens will admit, because our cli-
mate has changed. The old, unfsiling
indications OF northers. known to all, have
come to DO US tickle and uncertain as the
wind. For some years past those indics'
lions in their grandest array often pass
away without any commotion in the ele-
ments. Why 80 l know not, unless rail-
ways and telegrsphs have played a part
in the revolution. The changes are notable
both as to northers and rains, and date from
the extended introduction Of railroads and
teIegraphy from sbout 1874 onwsrda."
