A Chapter on Heads

"The heads of men are growing
larger" said a Broadway halter, the
other day, as he sold y hat to a small
man. Thirty years ago" he continued,
owhen first went into the business, the
average size ranged from 81 to ST. OF
course, there were plenty Of men with
larger heads, but that was the average
size. Most of our customers buy hats
nowadays in sizes from Z to ", aud yet
the men of thirty years ago seemed
to have as mucn brains as the
men of to-day. The most singular
thing about the hat trade is the ability
of first class salesman to judge Of the
nationality of his customer by the shape
of his head. We Americans have long,
narrow heads. 1t used to be that when
an American head came in for a hat, il
1t was long enough for him it would be
very likely too wide at the sides, or if it
fitted at the sides it had to be pulled out
at the ends. But we now have hats for
heads of natioDalities.
"When a German head comes In we
jump for the boxes filled with hats
especially made for round heads. The
heads of EDglishmen are irregular in
shape, Notwithstanding the conservatism
of the nation. Irish heads are the most
easily fitted. They are oval in shape.
Most small men require large hats, and
there was great many large men who
wear small tiles. 1t is a noticeable fact,
however, that as the world grows older
the heads of Englisb-speaking people
are growing more and more alike, and
the shape is tending toward the long
headed American head, all reports to the
contrary. ."-New York Telegram.

less. In fear aud trembling they screamed
for mercy but the avengers we're hlercIess.
The following is given as a clear statement
of the cause which led to the tragedy, ascer..
tained from interviews with number Of
prominent citizens:
After months Of preparation and trial
which continued three weeks, and in which
distinguished counsel assisted the able dis
trict-sttorney, jury charged to have been
bribed and corrupted in the face OF testimony
establishing their guilt, rendered q verdict OF
mistral as TO three assassins, Scafedi, MOnas-
tro and Polietz, and acquitted the three assas-
sins, Macheca, Marchesi and Bagnetto. Three
more were on trial and were acquitted be-
cause Of insufficient evidence, these being
Matranga IRcOrdonia and the boy Marchesi.
The acquittal of Macheca, the chief con-
spirator, and of Marchesi and Bagnetto and
the mistrial as to Poietz. Scsffedi aud Monas-
fro, fell like thunderbolt upon the COM
munity, and impressed law-abiding citizens
with the conviction that the laws had been
violated, that the verdict invited assassina-
ton and the engrsfting Of the Italian Mana
upon American institutions
The feeling grew strong that for self-preser-
yation the people must assume the authority
which they had delegated 10 the courts and
which the courts were powerless 10 enforce;
this feeling increased until it found vent in
the lnass-meeting and the subsequent acts at
the prison.

Heretofore magazines in competition
with newspapers have had almost mon
opoly of the highest literary talent, but
the daily press commands more and more
of the best writing aud etching of the
two worlds. 1t is a serious question if
there will be any great use for magazines
after few years. Even now the news
paper is giving equal, or almost equal,
literary attractions and greater variety
of lighter letter press, such as novelettes,

book reviews, accounts Of discoveries
and scientific inventions, not to speak Of

and thought, from the humorous quip to

History of tho EaaIe as a Symbol.

From its size, strength, rapacity and
powers of flight and vision, the eagle
early became the type of nations and was
borne on the standards Of the armies.
Xenophon, who lived B. C. 444-359,
mentions the fact that this king of birds
was first used as a military ensign by the
Persians. 1t was adopted as the sole
standard of the Roman legions in the
second year of the consulate of Marius,
b. c. 104; and Gibbon remarks that it
was the object of the fondest devotion of
the Roman troops. The eagle was early
adopted as the national emblem on the
arms of the United States, and was srst
figured on a gold coin that bears its
name in 1895. The aptness Of the SYM
Dol will readily occur when it is remem-
bered that this bird has so long been
known as the "bird of freedom. -

For the young mans face was white.
A moment he paused, looking at her
with his grey eyes large from disappoint-
ment. Then impulsively he began and
told her all of his discovery of the little
book; of his midnight incantation, and
what he had considered its result. He
recalled their subsequent meeting, and
told how he had felt when she unveiled
her face and he had seen the one whom
he believed to be the destined companion
of his life. Toward the end his voice
faltered.

PARNELL'S MANIFESTO.
An Appeal to the Irish People oi
America.


A manifesto ''to the Irish people Of Amer
ican has been issued by Mr.. Parnell. 1t be
gins by ascribing the growth Of the Land
League into great national movement to
the financial support given to it by Ameri-
cans. Continuing, the manifesto says:
when the victory was almost near
enough TO grasp, the meddles0me interference
Of English politicians in the complex organ
ization of the Irish party temporarily broke
up the unity so essential 10 final success.
These politicians were aided by few
young law students, some malcontents, Office
seekers and other envious persons who had
crept into the ranks arrayed in favor OF Irish
freedom
The manifesto goes on TO say that IL now
becomes the duty Of Mr.. Parnell, ITO restore
unity, to lop off unsound materials, TO take
measures TO keep out in future all the weak.
treacherous and self-seeking elements. BY
good fortune there remained ample time to
accomplish these results before the general
election.
"The insufIiciency of Mr.. Gladstone's pro-
posals TO secure legitimate liberty for the
Irish kindred of Americans had been dis
closed by the break in the Irish ranks"
Those who are about to cone to America
III the name OF t0e irish people, Tue manies-
to adds, have Mr.. ParneIrs views in their
possession. These are men Of ability and
character. They are commended to Ameri-
can hospitality.
The concluding paragraph asks Americans
to help Mr.. Parnell to quel ''this mutiny
and disloyalty to Ireland" ~ help him 'in
securing a really independent parliamentary
party, so that we may make one more, even
though it be our very last. effort to win free
dom and prosperity for our nation by consti-
tutional means
