1t has been noticed by Mr.. Henry
Heath, who sends hats all over the world,
from Calcutta to Peru, that different ma
tionalities possess heads of distinctive
sizes and shapes. For instance, Germans
have very round heads, popularity
shared by our own royal family. The
average English head is what matters call
a good shape-that is, rather long. The
Scotch, one is not surprised to learn, are
very long headed. Canadians are dis
tinguished by exceptionally large heads,
South Americans by very small ones.
Australians, again, have rather small
heads. The subject is an interesting one,
and worth pursuing further If space al
lowed. The heads of individuals also
yarya good deal from time to time,
shrinking during illness or mental worry,
and generally becoming smaller with ad-
vancinS years. AS. to shape, there is
such IL thing as fashion, but it only affects
mashers, men stick to much the same
ahape year after year.-Pall Mall Ga

CITY Bonds Sold at Par.

City Treasurer Clark offered for sale
again yesterday the first issue of city
bonds to the amount of $4,000. Mr..
Macdonald offered 96 cents, when Mr..
II. E. Collins, president of the First Ma
tional bank, at once raised the proffer to
100 cents, or par. Considering the
stringency of the money market at the
present timeS.this is most excellent rec
ord. Credit is due to the First National
bank for thus coming to the front and
showing it's confidence in Great Falls.

THE GIANT PURSE CRAB.
He Climbs Cocoanut Trees and Cracks the
Nuts Against Stones.

In the mining bureau may be seen a
very fine specimen Of the remarkable
large land crab known as the purse crab,
or Birgus latro. which is well preserved
in glass jar This is one of the largest
species of land crab known, 1t is some
times found from 1S to "a inches in
length when fully stretched out, and is
capable of erecting itself TO the height
of nearly foot from the ground, which
it readily does if irritated, retreating and
exhibiting to the utmost its powers OF
ottonse and defense.
1t is somewhat allied to the hermit
crab, but having the abdomen or tail
shorter, yet very large, on the under side
of which it carries its eggs in immense
nulntities Its under side is soft and
mcmbranous, its upper surface covered
with strong plates, which overlap one
another as in HOLSTERS. The first pair of
legs have large and powerful pincers;
the second and third pairs of legs arc
terminated by Il single nail; the pair next
to them are Il little smaller, with small
pincers; the pair Of legs nearest to the
abdomen are very small, but terminated
by rudilnentary plncers.
When teased this crab is so powerful
in its first claws and legs as to be able tc
cling to stick, and can hold its OWL
weight to be carried for over half houl
before letting go, 1t can travel about as
fast backward as forward if pursued. II
is generally of yellowish brown color
its limbs being, however, covered with
little blackish projections.
1t is never found far from the sea, tC
which it is said to pay visits in order tC
moisten its gills, but it always resides OF
land, and is generally found in holes TN
der the roots of trees, especially Of cocoa
nut trees, which it prefers, and where il
accumulates great quantities of the fiber!
of the cocoanut husks, as if to keep itsel
warm or for a soft bed. AS genera
thing the purse crab stays in these hole
during the daytime and comes out a
night.
| Its food generally consists of cocoa
nuts, also the nuts Of species of palm
known as Pandanus odorotismus, ant
other nuts, which it climbs the trees t.
procure, cutting the cocoanut from th'
tree with its heavy claws, and after i
has cut down two or three it descend'
and commences to pull the husk from
them.
In its manner of dealing with cocoa
nuts it exhibits a remarkable instinct a
it always begins to tear off the husk a
the en1 where the eyes are. 1t thel
makes hole through the eye from
which the nut would germinate. Thi
is done by striking the fruit with it
heavy claw and breaking it sufficient.
to admit one of the small legs, by whicl
it scoops out the nut with its small pin
GERS. Sometimes it seizes the nut b,
one of its great pincers and breaks i
against stone.
The purse crab is found in the mount
aims and in the more eastern islands O
the Indian ocean, as well as on some o
the islands of the South Pacific, more es
pecially in the Caroline islands, whicl
are a low coral group.-San Francisc
Chronicle.

n A. f. Dickerman Esq, Great Fall S
Montana: My Dear Sir-iour commun-
Hcatior came to hand today. You have

III Our theatre should not be less than Gu
fleet wide by 1l5 feet long, with a pro-
lection at the side or 10 by :}S or 40 for

can be done at Great Falls that would
give you such an advertisement as a
building of this kind and SO nicely pre-
spare you for future growth. l am salts
lied that you have beautiful city and
you are going to reach 1900 or 10000
before you hardly know it. l believe
you have the most promising city in the

at once for theatre such as / think will
please you and will start next Saturday

will put the work all under contract fol
you. Very cordially, ORcAR COBB, T..

John Napier" Miss Warrender tells
US, pursued his studies and researches
in Merchiston He was supposed by the
vulgar to be deeply versed in magic, and
to possess n familiar in the shape OF IA jet
black cock. The story goes that once
when some petty thefts had been COM
mitted in the castle. of which one of the
servants was suspected, Napier brought
them all up the winding stairs into a
darkened room, where the cock was
placed. He commanded them to stroke
it's back, declaring that it would crow at
the touch of the guilty person. During
the whole ceremony the cock remained
silent, but afterward the hand OF the
culprit was found to be free from the
SCOT with which the birds feathers had
been literally sprinkled.
