TRADE OF THE WEEK.
Some Improvement Noted in Spots
and No Fresh Calamities.
FEATURES OF CITY REAL ESTATE
The Week Closes With Several Good Sized
Sales in the East End.
MOVEMENT ON DIAMOND STREET

There was no important change ip the
business situation last week. Improvement
was noted in spots, due to better local con-
disions, but taking the country through
trade was quiet with about the usual vol
ume Of transactions. This was almost equal
to the heaviest on record Keeping this
important fact in view, there was nothing
in movement or environment to justify
fault-fnding. Locally, trade was in good
shape, money easy, no calamities, a good
stock of confidence, and prospects favorable
for an active winter and spring. The coun-
try never had more abundant reason to give
thanks to the Author Of all good. Next
Thursday has been set apart for this pur-
pose.

The features are perfect, and the nos
trils and lips are as in life, though the
color is inky black. Perhaps the lips
are knit together so that they may not
reply when spoken to, for the custom is
to hang those cheerful trophies by their
long black hair from the rafters OF the
family domicile, and address to them vi
Imperative jibes on occasions OF fes-
tivity.
The museum has very large collec-
ton of scalps, and it is wonderful to
think what tragic tales they would have
to tell II they could only speak. One OF
them is crown of real golden hair with
circle of skin attached, reft from the
head Of little German girl at the Noun
tain Meadow massacre. In spots 1T is
stained with the victims blood-a pitt
full reminder. OF the same party OF hon.
est pioneers may have been the man
from whose caput shock of black and
curly locks was torn; 1t forms part OF
the exhibit.
There are many other scalps OF white
people and Indans-the former mostly
curly and readily distinguishable from
the straight black hair of the aborig-
ines. The long tresses OF women, blonde
and brunette, suggests to the mind
J imaginings none too fearful OF TRACE
dies with outrages as preliminary.
A single warriors trophy bears pend
ant twelve scalps, each representing a
murder.
One of the most unpleasant of these
tragic memorabilia at the museum Is .
necklace of thumbs, fourteen in all
They are all thumbs of the right
hand.

HORRORS AT THE MUSEUM.
Dried Heads, Human Scalps and Necklaces
of Fingers.
Wdshinof0n Star


of Fingers.
Washington Star.
The National Museum does not go In
for horrors, but some gruesome things
are to be found nevertheless.
For example, there are two human
heads from the upper Amazon, dried In
a weird and extraordinary fashion. The
natives on the high slopes Of the Andes
delight in chopping off the heads
of their enemies and preserving
them for ornamental and other pur-
poses. Their method is to make cut
with knife around the lower part of
the neck and draw the skin of over the
head, taking care to perserve intact the
nose, mouth and other features.
Next the skin Is turned right side out,
and the lips are sewn together with
coarse Irvine, such as grocers use, leav-
ing fringe OF the string hanging down
for a length OF two feet from the chin
of the departed foe. Finally. the
head, thus creft OF its skull, is
filed with hot gravel, which makes it
shrink. The hot gravel is renewed as
often as may be necessary until the head
has shrunk to quarter the size Of q new
born child.
The appearance Of head thus treated
Il rrotesoue beyond description. It's
face is that of human being reduced
to a scale of a four-month's embryo.

Hints for q Bachelor.

An infant may be as old as Methuse-
lah or as young as a baby ephemeron for
all You can tell. Now, you need just
one suggestion to help you out. 1t is
this: If the baby is in long clothes call
it a year old. 1t won't be, but that's
part of the diplomacy. If it's in short
clothes and can't talk call it s years 1t
won't be that, but that's more diplomacy
If it can talk call it anywhere from 9 to
8 years old.
This is the course which things may
then be confidently expected to take:
The mother proudly exhibits her Off
spring. Bearing If mind the rules here
laid down you say of a long skirted
youngster, "What a remarkably devel-
oped child for one a year old!'
But it's really only six months, you
know" answers the mother, indulgently
unlnindful of your mistake because of
the flattery it implies.
In the case of q short skirted, non
locomotive youngster you will be safe
in saying, isn't this a wonderfully fine
baby for one four or five years old?" You
may be years out of physical reckoning
again, but the mother will soon see that
it is the ~precocity of the infant that has
misled yon, and as before she will par
don much.
Remember this as you would the Ten
Commandments: Always add to the age
of q baby and subtract from the age of
It's mother. No matter how far astray
yoa may go it will icy be treasured up
against you.-New York Evening Sun.

Safety on Railroad Trains

Some time ago railroad men engaged
in a discussion through the newspapers
about the safest position for a traveller
20 assume when on a train, and it seemed
to be agreed finally that the person who
took a seat ca the right hand side of the
middle Car Of the train. in a seat as near
the middle as possible, wonld have a bet
ter chance Of escaping injury in an acct
dent than n who sat somewhere else.
"1never was satisfied that there was
anything in that theory says A. d.
Martin, a St. Louis travelling man, but
it is astonishing to notice how many
people believe in it. You see the effects
OF the publication everywhere you go on
a railway train. People crowd the mid
die a Of a train. and get on the right
hand and as near the middle of the car
as they can. / have g on the Iron
Mountain the seats on the right hand
side Of the Car crowded, although it was
sunny there, while the seats On the other
side were nearly empty"

About Vegetables.

Vegetables of all available kinds
should always be found upon our tables,
as they have a direct chemical and re-
medal action upon our bodies. Onions
and asparagus are particularly recon-
mended for rheumatism and rheumatic
govt; caulif1ower has a tonic effect upon
the system, and boiled peas contain 90
per cent. of nutriment, which is almost
equal to the value of wheat bread. Po-
tatoes are certainly a very desirable part
of our meals. and lettuces, carrots and
cabbages would be much easier digested
but for the artificial methods Of cooking
and seasoning which are employed by
the modern civilized cook.
Vegetables should never be put into
the cellar, al many of them contain
acids which will absorb the poison of the
ground air, and, if eaten, will prove very
unhealthy. and if allowed to remain will
rapidly decompose and fill the air which
arises to the upper rooms with a poison
that will undoubtedly much mis-
chief. Potatoes should not be exposed
to the sun but kept in some dry place
where the light and air can always strike
them.-Hall's Journal.
