She is, as rule, neatly Sut poorly
dressed. She takes thelong Walk,
and a dreary one it mlst be, to the
prison. The lovely view across the
Hudson she cannotsee for the gath
ering tears in her eyes. But the
ugly graystone prison is distinct
enough. Down the long steps she
descends to the Office, where a big
man in blue treats her kindly and
gives her a seat-on one of the three
hard benches. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to consult the books to find if
the rules allow her to see the pris-
oner she asks for. These heart
broken women keep sure count
of the days and every two months
sees them waiting patiently for the
husband or the son TO come in in
his hated stripes. The meeting is
almost without exception very very
quiet. The convict is shame-faced
and nervous, but determined not to
show his feelings or break down, as
he sits there talking in low voice,
twiddling his ugly cap. The woman
struggles braxely to keep back her
tears, but she csnnot restrain the
sobs that again and~egain convulse
her frame. Then it is, ~Time's up,'

After the crucifixion it is said ia

cording to tradition, it came into
the hands of the officers of the Ge-
noese republic in the year 11O1,
having been given as an equivalent
for money due from the Crusaders,
who had captured the, relic during
their famous expeditions to the
East.

Human Heads Worn as Ornaments.

"A remarkable tribe of Indians, !"
said Mr.. Childs, who was recently
IN South America, to a Pittsbure
Dispatch man, "are the Napos. who
live in the northern part of Chilli.
Instead of wearing scalps at their
belts as trophies, like American
savages, the heads of their enemies
dangfe At their girdles. By a mys-
terious process, known only to them
selves, they remove all the facial
and cranium bones without cutting
the skin or destroying the interior.
The head is then reduced, without
manning any of the features, to the
size of a mans fist. Mr.. Childs
brought one of these heads with
him, and he intended to put it in
the museum of the Carnegie library
here. In San Francisco he showed
it to the county medical society
and the doctors offered him 81 900
for it. He said no sum of money
would buy it. He thinks there is
one in the Smithsonian Institute,
and, outside of his own, he doesn't
believe their is another in the
United States. The Indians dis
covered they could sell the heads
to the whites at good price, and
to prevent them from Turing the
people into the mountains and
killing them, or numbering the
aged of the tribe and preparing their
heads, law was passed forbidding
their sale. Through the kindness
of General Caamano and General
Sorsby, the American consul at
Ecuadore, Mr.. Childs secured tie
head. General Sorsby has eight
orders for heads from museums
AID colleges in the United States,
and he is afraid that he will not be
able to get them. The head and
face that Mr.. Childs has is not as
large as base ball. By the secret
process the bones were removed
and the features reduced. All the
hair on the original head is still
there. It is long and black ano
