uOMESEEKERS' EXCURSION.

Chicago June pa special meeting of
the Western Passenger association has
been called for tomorrow to consider the
question of running homeseekers' eXcur-
sions to trans-Missouri points The
meeting is made necessary by the demand
of the Burlington to run these excursions.
Some time ago the Missouri Pacific re-
ceived permission from the chairman to
run homeseekers' excursions to the south
west, but when the Burlington made its
application the chairman concluded he
had been tritle too hasty in granting the
permission TO the Missouri Pacific. and
said he would prefer to have the lines of
the association pass on the matter. 1t is
probable that all the roads in the trans.
Missouri territory will run the eXcur.

Curious Regulations That Govern the Use
of st. Paurs Great Bell.
The great bell of ST. Pauls was not
tollod for Prince Henry of Battenberg, be-
cause no was not in tho limo of descent
from any English sovereign. This honor is
paid only to q member of tho royal family
who could under any conceivable circum-
stances succeed to tho throne, though it
may DO doubted whether tho bell would
toll for royal infant not in tho direct
limo of succession. This rulo does not APP
ply to tho consort of the sovereign, of the
hoir apparent or of n prince or princess OH
tho stops of tho throne, Tho booming of
the &reat bell Of St. Paul's was the first
lnulmhtlon which pno citizens "a IloHdoE
received of tho death Of the prince con-
sort, which occurred ut II O'Clock ON tho
night of Saturday, Dec. Il, 1861.
Outside tho royal family tho only per-
sons for whom the bell is tolled arc the
archbishop of Canterbury, tho bishop of
London, tho dean of St. Pauls and tho
lord mayor of London dying in his yoar of
office. The bell tolled is not Great Paul,
but tho old great bell on which the hours
are struck. On tho occurrence of dcnth
in tho royal family the home secretary at
once communicates with tho lord mayor,
desiring him to convey the news to tho dean
OF st. Paul's, with u request that the great
bell may DO tolled. The bell is then tolled
at intervals of minute for an hour. Tho
last occasion was on tho death of tho Duke
OF Clarence on Ian. II, 1892. The duke
died ut 0:15 a. M, and tho bell was tollrd
from II till IL. AT tho funeral of the lato
Canon Liddon in September, 1890, Great
Paul, which is much the deeper and moro
sonorous bell of the two, was made avail
able, us by tho rules tho old great bell

THE SUGAR LOAF HEAD.

Northwestern Indians Have q Cranial De-
velopment That Is Odd.
Tho sugar loaf head is always that Of
the degenerate and may be that of gen.
AUS Tnero IS - certain branch Of Indisns
not allied to any other Indians In tho coun-
try that presents more sugar loaf heads
than any other community. They are the
most interesting of the aboriginal races on
this continent and live mt Fort Rupert on
the extreme northern point of Vancouver
island.
Tho Kwakiutls, as they are called, have
q most peculiar language, difficult to I'M
dcrstand. White men are rarely seen in
this settlement, though sealing schooner
may now and then hire q couple of these
Indians to accompany them on fishing
expedition, as they are extremely dexter
Gus in the handling of the spear.
In point of character these Indians are
very conservative, adhcring to tho old ira
ditions and religious beliefs they have pos
sessed for thousands of years. Missionaries
have never succeeded in making any I'M
preston upon them, and they have been
given up rs lost cause long ago. One of
the old traditions in regard TO their origin
is that they cmigrated to this continent
when it was still Joined to Asia ut point
where tho Boring straits are now located.
Tho Kwakiutls have no money, but use
blankets rs u means of currency. All the
money that seal spearcrs arc paid by the
captains of the schooners is Immediately
exchanged for blankets at tho nearest sup
ply station.
Marriages between them arc arranged
on tho purchase system, and n certain
number of blankets is paid for woman,
varying according to tho station her father
occupies III tho tribe. At tho annual fes-
tivitics the headman or chief of tho village
impcrsonates tho supreme spirit, and tho
other leading tribesmen arc gods. All the

Soon after child is born it's head is tight

him fierce impulse to Stay his neighbor
