TO SECURE AMULETS.

Reason Why PrlmevRl Mon Cut Holes In
the Skulls OF Their Dead.
We are disposed rather to accept DR..
Broca's first suggestion than the last,
and to regard trepanning among the
prehistoric men as having had thern-
peutic motive, says the Popular Science
Monthly.
The perforation Of the tomb was al
most certainly intended as door of
exit for spirits. Even in later times,
when the dead we're burned, holes were
often bored or knocked in the urns that
contained the ashes, for the same pur-
pose. Some cinerary urns have been
found with little windows, as it were,
made in them, and q piece Of glass
placed over the hole. Macrobius, in
his Saturnalia, quotes an Etruscan be-
lief that a door should be opened for
the spirits to pass In and out.
The writer remembers a case of q dy-
ing woman some few years ago in Sus-
sex. She was gasping, and apparently
was undergoing the last struggle in
great distress. The nurse went to the
window and opened it. At once the
dying woman breathed deeply and ex-
pred. The writer said to the nurse:
"Why did you open the windowp"
ne answer given was: Surely You
"ouiant have her soul go up the CHM
ncy?"
One can understand how that, if q
piece OF skull had been regarded as in
contact with demon or spirit, it would
oe respected as an amulet, and that 30
tne rondeiles removed from the heads.
OF men who had been subject to cpl
leptfc fits would acquire virtue in tho
eyes OF the ignorant and superstitious,
and be employed Us charms. And this
seems to be both the simplest and
most Ineligible explanation of hole
pierced heads, and of the wearing Of
the portions removed from those heads
by men and women who had not them.

JUPITER'S RED SPOT.
1t Can De Easily Seen Through Small
Telescope by Amateur Astronomers.

It Can De Easily Seen Through . Small
Telescope by Amateur Astronomers.
All owners of telescopes, and their
number has become very large within
the past few years, will be glad to hear
that the strange red spot on Jupiter,
which was so much obscured last sum-
mer as, at times, to be invisible even
with the huge Lick telescope, is slowly
Frightening again. The appearance,
says the Youths Companion, is as if a
veil of clouds which had been drawn
over it was being gradually removed.
This is by no means the only time
that this singular spot on the giant
planet has behaved in similar way
since it first made it's appearance in
1878. Just what the spot is, and what
the changes in its aspect mean, astrono-
mers do not yet know. But that it is a
tremendous phenomenon upon the sur
face of the great world Of Jupiter is ev-
ident when few figures concerning its
dimensions are recalled.
The spot is not less than thirty thou
sand miles long and at least seven thou
sand miles wide. In other words, it COW
ers an area more than equal to the
whole surface of the earth.
The fiery hue which it sometimes
presents for months together seems
very suggestive in view of the proba-
bility that Jupiter is a planet yet in an
intensely heated condition, whose con-
tinents and oceans, if it is ever to pos
sess any, have not yet been formed.
When at its brightest the red spot can
be we'll seen with telescope of only
three or four inches aperture, SO that it
then forms a suitable object for obser-
vatlon by amateurs.
This year Jupiter is particularly in
teresting on account of the distinctness
of its great system of belts, lying par
allel with its equator. Small tele-
scopes show the principal belts easily,
and it is very interesting to watch the
changes that take place in them from
time to time, particularly when it is re.
membered that what one is looking at is
probably vast masses of swirling clouds
in the heated atmosphere of world
that may be said to be in the process OF
creation.

Our Trade
Developments.

Saturday is always good day for
the Astoria merchants, and no matter
how depressed business may be during
the middle Of week, they can always
look ahead for busy time on Satur-
day II is the shopping day for the lit
tie towns ajaeent to Astoria, and as
regular as the weeks come and go,
rain or shine, the morning boats
come crowded with passengers and
loaded to the guards with produce.
The same crowd goes back at night
and the little steamers are equally
loaded with groceries and provisions
from various stores OF this city. &.
There is vast scope of country
around Astoria dotted with hamlets,
busy little places. that draw upon this
city for their supplies, and yet the
trade,like the country. is only half de-
veloped. There are no wagon roads
leading from this city to the settler
ments in the surrounding country,
consequently everything in the way
of transportation is done by boat. For
tunately the geographical situation of
the country is well adapted for this
mode of travel and light draft steamers
ply up the numerous streams emptyinE
into Young's Bay and the Columbia
reaching in some instances far into
the interior. OF the river settlements.
none are more thrifty or send to AS
toria, more trade than those of Deep
river on the Washington side. 1t was
clearly demonstrated yesterday morn
ing when the Winona came in. loaded
with a happy looking lot of passengers
who were not only on pleasure but
business bent. Many of them had ar
ticles of farm produce for the local
merchants, and 1t was noticeable that
when when the steamer made her re-
turn trip in the afternoon. the same
people went aboard laden with parcels
and packages. The docks were loaded
down with merchandise. and the gem
eral appearance looked far from an
indication of dull times. All along the
waterfront at the various slips. steam
ers were backed in taking on mer-
chandise for, or unloading products
from the country. Said-a prominent
Second street merchant to an Astorian
reporter: 80 many strangers coming
into the city wonder why the stores
are so free from customers. and yet
seem to be doing good business. They
do not see farm wagons lining the
thoroughfares as in Eastern cities. and
while they might notice large crowds
of people on the streets. the appear
ance is deceptive. But if these same
strangers would visit the water front
and see the amount Of business that
is transacted through the back doors
of the various houses. the busy scene
presented by many small steamers taxi
ing on supplies. then they would stop
and wonder"
