qualities may be lacking, while others
are in excess, and so the whole machine
will run wabbly," and the more power
there is the worse it will work. Such was
evidently the case with Ruloff, the learn

American phrenologists now claim to
have located fortytwo faculties with GER
tainty, but they have had some hard puz-
zles to solve. Such one is when good

of the worst women ever known in New
York city had head as fine as that of the
famous Fanny Forester. Eugene
Aram's head indicated extreme tenderness
and regard for life. Professor John White
Webster had good head" but he cut up
DR.. Parkham just the same. Lucretia
Borgia had splendid head; so had John
Wilkes Booth, but Guiteau had thor
oughly bad one, The pictures of Jesse

every case that "other things are equal"

The little city Of Waco, Tex, claims to
have the largest well in the United States,
and one Of the largest in the world. 1t is
bored, with a diameter of ten inches, to the
depth Of | $50 feet, all the artesian wells of
the town finding their supply at about
that depth. The Samson well, which has
become so noted, throws up about 100000
gallons of hot but perfectly pure and crys
talline water, at a temperature Of lO3 dogs.
which is the highest temperature of any
artesian water yet discovered-with a
pressure of sixty pounds to the inch, and
it will rise in the standpipe to the height
of 100 feet from the ground. The supply,
too, appears to be ineXhaustible, no dimi-
mutton of pressure having so far been felt
at the other wells.
Besides the Samson two other stand pipes
are reported-respectivel so by 90 feet and
IS by 20-which not only supply the town
with pure artesan water for domestic and
manufacturing purposes, but also for hot,
swimming and other baths. But scarcely
of less Importance for the future of the
place is the fact that these wells supply it,
in addition, with a motive power which
can be applied to all kinds of manufacture
ing needs

AZURE. The ancients simply could not have
believed that the clear cut Greek profile,
full high forehead and lofty crown, indcat-
ed nothing intellectually different from the
semiprognathous and low browed Ethiopian
skull as they saw both in life or in the
Egyptian tombs. Homer did not conde-
scend to argue the case in portraying his
heroes and demigods, his towards and
sneaks. He took it for granted that every
reader would see the point.
Every intelligent observer of animals
has wondered at the enormous differences
between their intellects, and that with
out much regard to their usefulness or
hearness to man. The COW is a singularly
stupid creature, considering her oppor-
tunities. She has almost no faculty of
adapting herself to emergencies, which is
the true test of intellect. The horse is
vastly her superior, but the dog leaves the
horse far behind. The crow Is certainly
not useful bird, but he is talented to n
degree quite incredible to those who do
not know him well. That the crows in q
forest know whether the coming man has
gun is conclusively proved, and of course
every crow and every squirrel knows that u
hunter cannot shoot around IA tree.
Now phrenology makes a pretty fair ex-
PLANTATION of these differences, but on the
other hand as DR.. o. w. Holmes wittily
says: "For man to finger the bumps on
my head and say what talent is under each
bump is just as if he should finger the
knobs of safe and say which one has u
ten dollar bill under it. There may be a
bill there, but he does not know it."
While the wits sported thus with the new
science, the theologans fell on it savagely,
declaring it an attempt to set aside moral
responsibility. Then the phrenologists
with one accord got angry, declaring that
their science indicated tendencies only and
had nothing to do with grace. John
Smith might be born with tendency to
shoot John Brown, but he needn't do it.
He's free agent.
The verdict of the American people may
be summed up thus: Phrenology as gen
eral science is clearly proved, but bumpol
ogy is not In other words, the facial
angle and general shape and size of the
head are important indications, but that
the brain can be mapped out and eact
little section assigned to a special faculty
well, that may be the case, but it is not
yet proved. And there is that universal
caveat, "Other things being equal" The
big brain may be of very poor quality, OF
it may be diseased, or some important

Parafiin for Diphtheria.

Sydney Turner, surgeon to the Glouces-
ter county infrmary, England, is firm
believer in the therapeutic properties Of
paraflin. He says that out of thirty diph-
liberia cases, adults and children, which
he has treated with paraffin, not one has
failed to recover. His plan is to obtain
the ordinary paraflin used in lamps, and
having scraped of the diphtheritic patch
from the patients throat to apply the
paraffin every hour to the throat, inter
nally, with large camel's hair brush.
AS a rule, the throat gets well in from
twenty-four to forty-eight hours, and
with improvement in the case the paraf-
fin is applied less frequently, but its use
is continued two or three days after the
complete disappearance of the patches.
DR.. Turner speaks definitely of the thera-
peutical effects, but is unable to state
what the chemical action of paraffln on
the diphtheritic membrane is.

There is a general but very erroneous be-
lief that torturing prisoners, in order to
make them confess before magistrates, has
been long since banished from civilized
lands, but it is practiced in this very time,
and of all countries in the world, in civil
lied ~ Switzerland.
NJ. Borel, member of the assembly of
Lucerne, recently proposed that informa-
ton should be asked from the federal
council as to the torturing of prisoner in
the canton of Zug.
The man in question was accused of
theft. When brought before the court the
prisoner acknowledged that he had taken
the missing articles, but insisted that he
had not stolen them but found them.
| Following this the court ordered further
| inquiries to be made.
By way of getting at the truth as to the
prisoners guilt or innocence, the following
course was pursued;
From the Goth of October to the 10th of
| November the man was kept in solitary
confinement on sparse diet of bread and
water, but this treatment failed to induce
him to vary his first statement.
On the 1lth and 18th of November thumb
screws were applied to the mans hands,
and his thumbs were pressed till the blood
burst through the skin at the ends, still he
persisted in his story.
On the three following days he was
stripped every morning and beaten on the
bare back with green withes till the skin
was torn off. The poor fellow shrieked
with agony, and after each beating al at
tendant would ask him:
Now will you tell the TRUTH"
81 have told the truth" persisted the
prisoner.
Yes"
"Then the torture will continue till you
confess that you stole them" was the at
tendant's response
After each beating the mans back was
washed in cold brine, and he was thrown
again into q dark cell,
On learning of the prisoners obstinacy.
the judge had him brought before him
again, and said:
why do you not tell the TRUTH"
II have told the TRUTH" was the reply
"Then the torture must proceed"
"Your honor can Kill me, but he cannot
make me say | am criminal when am
innocent" said the prisoner
The judge ordered the prisoner back to
his cell, and here, after three months of
such torture as even the Inquisition never
dreamed of, he was released one NIGHTLY
death.
And all this happened not in the Middle
Ages, but last year in the heart of the free
and Independent Swiss republic
Fortunately the mans death promises to
result in a repeal of the barbarous law of
torture.

SOME ODD STORIES.
INTERESTING INCIDENTS RELATED
BY MAJOR A. r. CALHOUN.

A Scout Tells Eow He Rescued Female
Captive from the Arapahoes-A Tale
of Adventure That Ends with a We'd
ding.
copyright, 1892. by American Press Associa-
ton.
Years before the railroads and settlers
Irove the Indians and buffalo from west
iru Kansas found myself encamped with
party of engineers and small escort
from the Seventh cavalry on the Smoky
hill, short distance east of Pond creek.
The Indians were very bad at this time, so
that our work ms surveyors was anything
but ideal
Our guide, scout and hunter, Tom Hern-
DON was, | think, the most unique and
original character | ever met and withal
as brave as a lion and as simple hearted as
n child.
The talk was about Indians, and partic-
plarly Santanta's band, some of whom we
had seen that day, when Tom Herndon
knocked the ashes from his pipe, felt in
the bowl with his fingers and then placing
It in his pocket said, with an inimitable
drawl;
II never trust an lnjun, and the man as
does is sure to be fooled"
After some coaxing Tom told us that he
had a wife and five young ones, 'all worth
braggin on" and then to illustrate his
reason for not trusting Indians he said:
Let me see; yes, it's now jest ten years
since the big war atween the Pawnees and
Arapahoes bruk out. I'd been with the
Pawnees right smart and every one of 'em
was my friend Jest as much as a Injun
ever can be the friend of white men. My
father was then livin with well growed
up family of 'leven children, and me the
youngest, over on the Kaw, not fur from
the mouth of the Republican. Bout two
mile further up the river, in the direction
of sunset. Bob Cobb lived. He had goot
ranch and g snug family of six gals ant
two boys. The gals was good loQkin, ant
as most of fathers family was boys, you
can bet Cobb's ranch was poplar plac,
for 'em, though for bit we had SOM
trouble in sortin the gals out to suit.

A Highlander's Faith.

In the western highlands of Scotland
some years ago heard the following story,
which well illustrates the Highlander's adj
herance to his chief and his faith in his
masters power. Even to this day the
peasants of Argyle believe that the power
of "MacCallum More" as the Duke of
Argyle, the head of their clan, is called, is
more than mortal.
A Highlander was benighted on the
moors when suddenly he saw a light,
which at first he imagined to be one of
those two stars called by Argyleshire men
ton-thena, fiery tall" and iul-oiche,
guide of night"
After watching the light for some time
the man found he was mistaken, for the
light began to dance before him, being
nothing more than an iguis fatuus, will-o'
the-wisp.
The superstitious Highlander, however,
imagined it was ghost, for he is great
believer in apparitions. In his awful alarm
he fell on his knees and implored Peter,
Paul and the Holy Virgin to save him from
this monster of the marsh or, better still,
to Danish it back to Hades.
Despite his prayers to the saints, the
light danced more vigorously and Came
nearer.
Driven to extremity the Highlander used
the strongest form Of adjectives of which
he had any knowledge. Lifting up his
hands and his voice he shouted out;
sin the name of the great MacCallunI
More, our blessed Duke O. Argyle, CONF
inand you to depart"
The charm was effectual The light
paled and vanished, and with more faitli
than ever in the name and power of his
chief, the man got safely home.

JOSEPH FRANZ GALL.

While lecturing in Scotland in 1916 they
gained the adherence of the famous George
Combe, who has probably done more than
any other man to make the new science pop
ular. He and his brother Andrew in 1923
established the Edinburgh chronological
journal, and good judges have declared
that his work on "The Constitution of
Man" has done as much good as any pub
LEGATION on that subject, while in the
United States in 1s3s-40 he lectured l5s
times, and converts multiplied SO rapidly
that phrenology has ever since had good
footing in this country. Mr.. Combe died
in 1855
Now 1t Is evident that so novel propo-
sition as that of DR.. Gall, localizing the
faculties according to the protuberances,
could not have gained support so rapidly
unless there had been a popular conviction
already tending in that direction, and we
find outcroppings of it in all ancient liter

The saint, it will be remembered, wa

During this and other peregrinations o

There was a high old time in the
lower house of congress on Friday OF
last week. The scene was as exciting
as a Spanish bull fight, and was hugely
enjoyed by the Republican members.
Harter, of Ohio, leader of the Demo
cratic opposition to the Bland silver
bill, stirred up the animals with a hot
iron. He bitterly opposed the bill,
characterizing it as Infamous, and pre-
dicted that if passed the Democratic
party would march to certain defeat.
Said he: "If this free silver bill shall
pass the time will come when n man as
as a Democrat will not be given decent
burial in a Democratic cemetery"
There was an attempt to choke off the
Ohioan, but he had his say. Thus the
party continues to harmonic" on the
free coinage question. But this was
only a skirmish. Wait until the bill
Is fairly before the house.
