A Preserved Head.

OF all the hideous, uncanny objects, the ore
that hangs in the window of the Hall Rubber
company is the Uncanniest and most hideous.
1t is the preserved head of South American
Indian.
The head is five centuries old and belonged
to an Indian chief named Huambrsa, who
was killed during the war with the Augaruna
Indians on the river Santiago The head
was cut from the body Ey is Brazilian cap
tors, and with consummate art all the bonY
matter was removed from the interior, leav-
ing nothing but the flesh and skin. Then by
some long lost process it was embalmed; 50
perfect is the work that ali the features are
preserved in their exact proportions, but so
reduced in size that the whole head Is not
larger than a good sized orange.
Attached to the top Of the head and run
through the upper lip are long strands Of
bright colored hemp, used in carrying the
head at the waist as trophy, after the fash
ion Of the North American Indians. Black
silk hair, about eighteen inches long, hangs
down on either side, aud the chin is adorned
with black imperial Even the eyebrows
and the short hairs within the nostrils are
preserved.
The curiosity is valued at $1,000 and has
been presented to the Boston Museum of Fine
Arts.-Bostou Globe

POOLING with q Burglar Alarm.

A certain down town man has contrivancs
which makes his place OF business burglar
proof. His valuable stock is placed in his
safe every night. Attached 10 this safe is an
electrical continuance which is connected with
a burglar alarm at the central station The
arrangement is such that, after business hours,
no one can open that safe door without turn
ing in the burglar alarm.
The other night the proprietor Of the place
came down town with q party OF ladies and
gentlemen. At dinner the owner Of the store
was telling his guests how contented q man
was after business hours. No fears of burg
lars annoyed him after nigbtfall. Then lie
told them why, and of course the ladies
wanted 10 see the contrivance.
The owner took the party to his store and
opened his safe. He was explaining the work
ing of the Continuance when patrol wagon
full OF Hawkshaws came to a halt in front Of
the door, and in a moment they were inside,
one of them with a hand on the shoulder of
the proprietor The ladies, of course, were
shrieking and trying to hide The proprietor
told them to be quiet
1T Is all right he said. 81 am the pro
prietor here and was showing my friends
how the alarm works"
This pacified the ladies, but it didn't satisfy
tie detectives, One of them insisted. Come
along he said. 1--WE have that PLAYED on US
every day" The ladies shrieked again The
proprietor Of the store assured the detectives
lie was the proprietor But they wouldn't
believe him until Mr.. Sharpe, of McVicker'S
theatre, who had been sent for, came over

attract attention and excite compassion. In
this unfortunate little one the scrutinzing read
er will not fail to perceive the heroine OF the
story.
Her history is honorable, but the worthy cou-
pie who adopt her are In ignorance thereof.
She is educated and trained a tton fac
tory operative, knowing nothing OF her parents
or Of the wealth and position to which she is
rightfully entitled.
Meanwhile, there is abundance OF plotting and
contemplating.
There are those who scheming to prevent
her ever knowing her true position, and others
wishful to reveal all but are fearful of the con-
sequences in other quarters.
For Love OF Lancashire Lass contains
many striking situations and dramatic episodes,
among others being descriptions of a great mill
fire, the terrible AOod at Johnstown, America, in
which the hero is supposed to be lost.
As picture Of cont mporary industrial life in
large centers Of population the story is at once
unique and powerful, the incidents of daily toll,
trade panics. strikes and other kindred matters
being introduced with skill and effect.
