HEADS ARE BIGGER NOW.

Craniums of All Nations, Though Differ
ent, Are Enlarging Together.
1t is interesting to observe how the
shape of mans head acts as an index
to his acknowledgement is, if you know
how to consult the index. AS proof
of this, notice how long and narrow the
average American head is. Hats made
in England will not fit such head at
all, the head being so long "fore and
aft'' as to make the hat too wide at the
sides. With the German it is the re-
verse, if any difference. The head of a
true Rhinelander is wide at the tenn
pies; if the hat is the exact length, in
nine cases out of ten it has to be
stretched sideways in order to make it
fit. English heads are wide, but not so
pronounced as those of the Germans.
There is more of sliding scale'' with
them as to the relative length and
breadth. The Celtic head is almost I'M
variably round or oval, and without
pronounced chronological bumps y

A desperate duel was fought one day
in August, 1886, by two girls about
eighteen years of age-Senoritas Es-
pinoza and Morena-employed at the
tobacco factory in Seville, that work
shop in front of which the first act of
Carmen is supposed to eventuate.
Their seconds We're men, who fur
nished each girl with dirk, after
which they were blindfolded and placed
in an unlightcd room for half an hour
and commanded to '.F'ighti" Then the
room was locked and the seconds joined
the other employees tat dinner, after
which they opened the door and found
both girls alive, but mortally wounded.
One of the combatants was cut in
twenty-seven different places, and was
bleeding to death, while the other re-
ceived severe wounds in ten and fatal
ones in two places. The seconds at
tempted to escape. but were arrested
and sent to prison for six months. The
girls never spoke after the door was
opened, but one of them lived in great
agony for several hours. says the Chi
cago Herald.
Near Madrid, December 10, 1890,
Capt. Romero and Capt. AIurillo fought
with sabers, and both were frightilIlly

the former We're dismissed from the
army and the latter fined. One of the
latter, after paying his fine, challenged
the magistrate who fined him, who ac-
cepted and received three wounds. He
again fined the officer and was again
challenged, and fought with pistols,
killing the officer at the first fire.

There Is Romance to BE Found Hidden In
Bloody History.
In 1850 the Azores came under the
power of Spain, and in the history of
the next twenty years their name is fire.
quent as the favorite battle-ground of
the English and Spanish fleets The
partiaity was, indeed, according to
Macmillan's Magazine, mainly on the
side of the former, and for a good
reason. These islands lay right in the
track of all vessels sailing to and from
that enchanted region known then to
all men as the Spanish Main. On the
highest peak of Terceira, whence in
clear weather the sea could be scanned
for leagues around, were raised two
columns, and by them a man watched
night and day. When he saw any sails
approaching from the west he set a flag
upon the western column, one for each
sail; if they came from the east si1ni-
lar sign was set up on the eastern col
llmn.
Hither in those days came up out of
the mysterious western seas the great
argosies laden with gold and silver and
jewels, with silks and spices and rare
woods, wrung at the cost of thousands
of harmless lives and cruelties unspeak-
able from the fair lands which lie be-
tween the waters of the Caribbean sea
and the giant wall of the Andes. And
hither, when England, too, began to
turn her eyes to Ell Dorado, came the
great war galleons of Spain and Portu-
gal to meet these precious cargoes and
convey them safe into Lisbon or Cadiz
before those terrible English sea wolves
could get scent of the prize.

Captain A. G. Freese has bought the wreck

The vessel was auctioned at the Merchants
Exchange yes erday at 1: 80 o'clock IN the
Afternoon. large crowd was in attendance
Among the bidders was Mayor-elec. SuIro who

1t was Iumored that Mr.. Sutro intended
saving the vessels cabins and adding them to
the attractions on Sulro Heights, but the gen.

enough OF the vessel to leim burse him for his

THE MACHINE COUNTS RIGHT.

II is estimated that the use of the
Myers ballot machine in the city of New
York would save S249, 632 in single cleo
ton. This saving, however. is insgnifi-
cant when compared with the other ad-
vantages resulting from the use of the
machine. 1t is claimed for ii that il is one
of the Salem Scudder kind of machines
that cannot lie. 1t is unnecessary TO saw
that the machine is violently opposed in
certain quarters. 1t deprives election off,
GERS of many opportunities. 1t also saves
them from many temptations. When it is
known that an election officer can bring
no influence whatever to bear upon the
voting of the country he is not tempted to
take chances of the penitentiary. Moral
influences have for long time been in
voked to secure honest elections and honest
counts, and it Is a little notifying to be
compelled to fall back at last upon a
purely mechanical cohtrivance.

CHANGING ITS FORM.

The Washington correspondent OF the
st. Louis Republic gives some interesting
details OF a rOposed modification of the
so-called Reilly funding bill. Mr.. Reilly
does not like the title of funding BILL"
He prefers to call it "btli for the adjust
ment of the Indebtedness of the Pacific
railroads" The new title at least init
mates plan by which the debtors shall
pay their debts, which could har dly be
said of the old title. The new plan pro-
poses to hand over to the debtors the
amount of the sinking funds to he
used by the said debtors in the payment OF
the first mortgage bonds, with an under
standing that the debtors shall put up the
rest of the money needed for that purpose
One objection TO this plan is that it pro-
poses to make the wrong parties custo-
dians of the funds. Instead of handing
over the sinking funds to the debtors with
the understanding that they shall provide
the balance needed to pay off the first
mortgage, would it not be better to require
the debtors to advance the balance on an
assurance that the sum advanced and the
contents of the sinking fund shall be APP
piled TO the eXtingulshment of the mort
gage? But Mr.. Reilly gives himself too
much concern over the first mortgage
bonds. The holders of this mortgage will
very readily accept Government bonds for
any part of the amount that the Govern
ment may want credit for. Having set
tled.with the first mortgagors, the Govern
ment will have the amount in the sinking
fund and first mortgage on the road. Its
payment of tie first mortgage bonds will
also leave il at liberty TO proceed against
the private estates of the original owners
of the Central Pacific stock. From ouI
point of view the all-important point is
that the Southern Pacific shall not be given
the power to collect the debt it owes from
California industries.

DECEMBER, 1894.

The movement OF the Republican State
from The Supreme Court to throw out pre-
ciucts in this city casting %, 949 votes was
defeated without much effort on the part
of the court. 1t is true that Chairman
Cornwall declared his belief that Mr.. Estee
had been elected Governor, but the court
did not consider the belief so good evil
dence of fact as the returns which show
that Mr.. Budd was elected. 1t is always
we'll that there should be a recount when
there is well-2rounded doubt of the cor
RICHNESS of declared result of an election.
The party that has the most votes on the
face of the returns should be quite as
anxious as the other parties to show that
it obtained its votes fairly. But petition
10 the Supreme Court to deprive o, 949
voters of a voice in the election rather
takes ones breath away. If all the Repub-
licans want is recount under conditions
that will render fraud impossible, their
purpose can certainly be accomplished in
some other way. So intelligent a man as
Mr.. Cornwall must know that any use Of
the Republican majority in the Legisla-
ture to procure decision in favor of a
Republican candidate who was defeated
according to the returns will in the end
prove disastrous to the party. Il does not
make very much difference whether Mr..
Estee or Mr.. Budd is Governor Tor the
next four years. but it is of the utmost i'm
pcrtsnce that the man who received the
most votes is given the Office. The inca
paeity of the Cleveland administration to
deal intelligently with large affairs, either
foreign or domestic. makes the preserya-
ton of its character by the Republican
party matter of the utmost Importance.
