HOW a GIRL SAW IT.
Vivid Description of Engine Building by =
Fair Enthusiast.

Fair Enthusiast.
A young lady's description of how a steam
engine is made, according to her study of
the subject during a visit to the engine
works at Elmira, N. Y, is given by PoDsr
as follows:
''You pour lot of sand into box, and
throw lot of old stoves and things into a
fire, and empty the molten stream into a
hole in the sand, and the men all yell, and
it's awfully dirty and smoky. And then
you pour it out and let it cool and pound it.;
and then you put it in thing that goes
round, ana try to. break it; then
you screw it to a thing that goes
back and forth, that you can ride on,
and that scrapes it and it squeaks; then you
put it in thing that turns it round, and
you take chisel and cut it; then you put it
in thing that bores holes in it. Then you
screw it together aud paint it, and put
steam in it, and it goes awfully; and they
take it up in the drafting room and draw a
picture of it. And, oh, torgot-they have
to make boiler. One man gets inside and
one gets outside, and they pound just ter
ribly; and then they tie it to the other thing
and oh, you just ought to see it go!'

Of course she was provoked when he
passed her on the street without stopping
to speak to her. He lifted his hat, it i,
true, but she recalled the time when he
would have turned and walked seven blocks
with her, no matter how pressing his bust
ness Hadn't they been sweethearts few
years before? Why should the fact that
they had not met for three years so change
him? Ought he not to be the more pleased
to see her?
The more she thought of it the more she
felt that he should have paid her some little
attention, if only for the sake of old times,
and when she reached home she was so
angry that she resolved to make him repent
his slight. The next day he received the
following:

She held that it was cutting note, and
that it would bring him to his senses if any,
thing would. She told her best friend that
she had brought him up with round turn,
but she didn't tell her best friend anything
about the following reply which she re-
ceived:
Miss DEANE-If you insist, of course, will
do as you wish, but it will be great depri-
walton to the baby The little fellow Is
passionately fond of pictures. and for nearly
six months the photograph of you has been
regarded as his especial property. Still, my
wife says she will take it away from him if
you really need it, Very truly,

bow to him when she next met him on the
street. She didn't do anything except won-
der when he was married and why she was
SO foolish.

A SKULL COLLECTION
Where . Large Number OF Busts and
Craniums Can Be Seen.


Craniums Can Be Seen.
From The Collector.1
THE PITTsBURG DIsPATcH, in . re-
cent interview with physician OF
that city, ventilated the suggestion
that tho formation of collection of
skulls would be of scientific value to this
country. As o matter of fact, there is one
very important collection of this character
already in existence. DR.. j. A. Denksinger
writes as follows, of the Spurzheim collec-
tion in Boston.
A statement is made in one Of the recent
sketches OF chronological Biography"
with reference to the Uranium of DR.. Spurz-
helm and his collection of chronological ma
terial, that is somewhat incorrect, and
If 1t will be permitted L should like to say
that may be Of use. First let me say that
after the Boston chronological Society
had terminated its active existence the
entire chronological museum-fnc udtug
skulls and busts, along with the busts col
1ected and presented to the society by J. d.
Holm, of London, and the busts collected by
members of the Boston Physiological So
OF Boston, and by him presented to the Har-
ward Medical School in 1s47, and at that time
located on North Grove street, Boston. The
donation then became part OF the Warren
Anatomical Museum.
A few years ago, when the Harv: Medi-
cal School removed to their new building,
corner of Boylston and Exeter streets, they
transferred the Warren Anatomical Museum
to it also, along with the skull of DR.. SpurZ-
helm, but his general collection of skulls
and busts, over 400 in number, was left
behind (befng of no value, 1 suppose). The
old college building is now partly occupied
by the Harvard Dental School (another
branch of the Harvard College) but the
collection of busts can still be inspected
by any one applying to the janitor.
The room where they are placed is, however,
ground of all kinds of rubbish. Spurzheim's
skull, along with lock of his hair, can be
seen by any one applying to the janitor of
Harvard Medical School, or to the curator of
the Warren Anatomical Museum, on every
Saturday. between IL and l o'clock. Close
by the side of the case containing DR.. Spurz-
heims skull is the case containing the skull
of his friend, DR.. Robertson, of Paris, who
arranged in his will that after his death his
skull should be prepared and sent across and
placed beside that of Dr.. Spurzheim.

FRANCE LOSING HER TRADE.
The Mckinley Bill Has Something but Not
All to Do With IT

LONDON, Feb 16-The report of the
British Legation in Paris on the trade of
France, made public to-day, attributes the
large increase in the importations of raw
materials and the great shrinkage in the
exports partly to the effects of the American
Mckinley bill
The report quotes from M. La Lande, a
great authority in the wine trade, deciar-
ing that the Mckinley bill has caused de-
crease in the exports of wine to the United
States, but expressing himself that France
and the United States will come to terms re-
garding g commercial arrangement. The
report shows that French trade has been de-
clining for years, and that the recent decline
is not entirely due to the Mckinley bill.
