the skull of maiden q IS years, who,
with a number of her companions, was
knocked in the head with an ak and
was eaten on an island in New Zealand
several centuries ago at a great feast >
For goodness sake, how could you
find out all that?"
Simply enough. You can tell it
all for yourself, with little help. OF
course we know from the place where it
was found that it was in land where
cannibalism prevailed. Father found
no less than seven skulls, ali win a
fracture like this horrid one, where the
victim was struck with an ak or some
similar implement. Then all have the
hole knocked in at the base of the skull,
evidently with the purpose Of extract
ing the brain, for the human brain is
considered great delicacy by cannibal
epicures. We know from the sharpness
of the edges of the orbital cavity and
other infallible indications that this is
woman s skull, for an expert can al
ways tell male from female skull at
a glance. Lastly, you can see by
counting for yourself that the dentition
of this girls skull is not complete, and
that therefore this is, as have said,
the skull of a New Zealand maiden of

had a curious instance not long
ago of the way in which an observer
can find story in skull. A skeleton

been opened. The man had been taken

been taken to the hospital. In polish

which would not come out. opened
the skull and found that the line was a
portion of the point of blade which pro-
jected half an inch in the skull, and
which had broken off so short that it
would have been impossible to tell of
what the man died unless the skull had
been opened as opened it. Here was
murder mystery which the law will
never probe, for the wound was NOR

The Deadly Current.

Two horses attached to a vehicle were
killed in Jersey City by coming in con-
tact with the current from a trolley
wire. It appears singular when it is
stated that the accident occurred quar-
ter of mile from the broken wire, the
current having been conveyed along the
track.-Exchange

A New steel Process.

A new method of producing steel ha:
been suggested to M. Jules GARNER by
M. Moissan's diamond making expert
ments. He claims that it is successful.
The steel is instantaneously made by
placing a bar Of iron and a stick of char
coal together in a parallel direction in
an electrical friedrich furnace of tenn
perature of 1 1000 degrees and subjecting
them to a strong current. M. Jules Gar
nier expects that his discovery will revo-

Formulating a Tariff Bill.

The Ways and Means Committee of
the House of Representatives. after giving
hearings to a number of manufacturers
who asked to be heard, are now formulat-
ing a tariff bill, and expect to report it
about the first of November.
The manufacturers all plead for main
tenance of the present schedules affecting
their interests, or desired the smallest re-
duction possible. They had no thought
of the people, but only of their own well
fare
No hearings were necessary. The tariff
question is thoroughly understood by every
member Of the committee, and it is well
compsehended by the people, who have
three times expressed their sentiments at
the polls. They have condemned tariff
laid for protection, and pronounced against
a system that places them at the mercy of
class that by reason Of tariff that shuts
out competition. can exact such tribute as
they choose.
The Democratic platform pronounced a
tariff for protection unconstitutional, and
declared that taxes ought to be laid only
to raise the necessary revenue for the pur-
poses of government economically admins
tered. Upon this platform there was
tidal wave of approval, and the country
expects Congress to carry out the pledges
made.

Hard Times for Newspapers.

Two Maryland papers have gone into
hands of receivers this week-the Carroll
toaian of. Westminster and the Daily NetcS
of Hagerstown The former has been
in existence about six years and the latter
about twenty.
These have been hard times on newspa-
pers The merchant, the manufacturer
and every other business man can reduce
expenses when dull times come, but the
publisher has no room for retrenchment
The newspaper cannot stop and resume
again. 1t cannot run on half time, even,
nor can it change its terms to suit changed
conditions If paper is high the publisher
must have it, no matter the cost; so with
type, ink and labor. His prices for sub
scription, advertising and job work eannot
be changed.
In dull times the merchant and other
business men curtail their advertising, and
subscriptions fall off Still the paper has
to go on, for to stop is ruin.
A printers and publishers publication
this week had advertisements Of eighteen
newspaper establishments for sale, and u
number of publishers of other papers ad-
vertise for partners. This indicates that
prosperity does not prevail in newspaper
dom, and it is probable that very many
more are scarcely making ends meet

The Harvest Moon.


The full moon on September 25, next Mon
day, is known as the Harvest Moon" In
Great Britain September is the harvest
month I" and the full moon OF September is
so called from that fact The peculiarly Of
this full moon is that it rises several nights
near the same hour instead of an hour or
more later each night. In the higher lati
tude of Great Britain the phenomenon is
much more striking. At the equator there
is no difference between this and other full
moons. The harvest moon is due to the fact
that at the time Of the autnmnal equinox the
full moon, which is necessarily opposite the
sun, is in that part of its orbit which makes
the least possible angle with the eastern hor-
lion at the point where the moon rises. In
consequence there is an unusual proportion
of moonlight during September. On the
18th inst, the moon will rise al or near SUM
set. 5.5l O'Clock, on the 26th ut 8. %, and at
g. so on the 9Th.
