Some accurate particulars as to tho form
and measurement Of Prince Bismarck's
head have been contributed by Herr Fried
rich H. Kranz, the present head Of the old
Frankfort firm of hatmakers, Martini 81
Co., to the Hamburger Nachriohten. As
the Bismarck family objected to a cast Of
his head being taken after death, the trade
statistics supplied by Herr Kranz may be
valuable to future biographers and physi-
ologists. Fifty years ago, according to
tho first record Of tho Martini Kopfmass
machine, bismarck 3 head had width Of
sou contimeters. During the later years
of his life his head had swollen to the
width of SO oentimeters.
His skull was Of q peculiar formation,
the dumps" being considerably larger ON
the right side than ON the left. Perhaps
this was chronological symbol Of his po-
litical sympathies, for, though no onoe
said that the old Adam In him was in
clinod to republicanism, he never allowed
these early inolinations toward tho left to
influence his resolute determination TO up
hold the contrary side In politics, and the
physioil development Of the right side ct
his skull may have been q trophy of the
victory Of his viii over his inclinxtions.

MONTREAL VICTORIOUS.
Green Mountain Boys Defeated by tho
Canadians In "a Loosely-Plsyed Game.

The Montreal and Essex Junction base
ball teams met at Athletic Park yester-
day afternoon. the Canadians win
ming easily In heavy-hitting
and rather loosely-p.ayed game. Alb
hey and Jaclilitz constituted the bat
terry for Montreal and Teachout and But
Ter for Essex Junction The game was
one of tho old-fashioned kind. in which
the ball was battcd all over the field and
several time over the fence. Abbey had
no difficulty in keeping the hits well scat
tered and could probably have kept Essex
Junction's total down to two or three II II
had been necessary to do so in order to
win the game. Parker and Mcfarland
made several fine running catches In right
field and Butler gathered in foul in the
som9 way. Tho clubs will play again at
$3.50 to-day. Abbey and Jackiltz will be
the battery for Essex Junction to-day and
will try their best to down their own
team. while Mcfarland and Butler will
be in the points for Montreal. With this
change the game will undoubtedly he a
hard fought contest A summary of yes

The great engineering strike In Eng land is likely to lead to some important legislation bearing on the authority of the trades unions Bills dealing with the question of picketing and the legal responsibility of trades unions in regard to their benefit funds are being drawn up under the supervision of a commit tee acting on behalf of the federated employers. The bill on pioketing will seek to make 1t penal for any person to intimidate, frighten or alarm an indi- vidual in such way as to cause him to leave his work or refrain from seeking employment, intimidation being de fined as something done by "aot word or gesture, with these objects in view. The second bill is intended to secure the compulsory registration, under the friendly societies act, 1875, of all trades unions in which any part of the con- tributions of members is collected for the purposes of sick pay, pensions or other provident purposes. In this way tha providea5 funds would Do vested in trustees anu Dc @4t44t.. sao complete jurisdiction of tho registrar of friendly societies, so that they could not be utilized for the purposes of laboE dis putes. --Exchange.

Figures Scrubbed by a schOo1boy Finally

 My brother William, who died few years ago, said Colonel Andrew Free man the other night, from his boy hood days had curious habit of sorib bling on every piece of blank paper he picked up.
 "When he was first able to form fig. ures with pen or pencil, he would trace the meaningless number 15, 174' on everything that had blank space of walls of the little old red sohoolhousa down in my home county in the Penny rifle that boy wrote 15, 174' ten thou sand times or more.
 'tOn the fly leaf of his textbooks, on the margins of the newspapers my fa- ther was subscriber for, on the en velopes and on the unused bits of papers in all of the letters that came to our house he traced those figures in every idle moment without being able to tell why he did so. My father gave the lad some pretty severe thrashings and count less reprimands for indulging in the senseless habit, but Will never stopped it for day.
 "When I was 27 and Will was 22 told him one day that was going to play the numbers he was so devoted to in the Louisiana lottery and if drew anything I would divide up with him. I had been throwing away a dollar in the gift enterprise for five or six years and had never drawn a cent. didn't get the number wanted that month, but the next month I got two tenth tickets, number 15, 5,174. and struck the S10, 900 capital prize. Will got one-half of the cash, and till the day of his death, eight years ago, never quit talk ing about the luck his hobby brought me- It was the laost remarkable incl dent in my life and the most notable occurrence in the history of our fam fly "~-Louisyille Post.

The other day Ole Hanson had trou- ble with bellieose d9g that belonged to his neighbor, Russian of the name of Havya Drenkovitskey. The Swede shot the dog as soon as he discovered that he was not friendly to him, and the sequel found lodging in 8 just;ce's court. When Ole was propounded interrogato. ries by the attorney for the prosecution, he evidenced g sense of justice in fram- ing replies that is rarely witnessed.
