BRIGHT MEN HAVE BIG HEADS.
Man With Small Uranium Cannot Get
to BE President.

to BE President.
All things being equal" said the phre-
nologist, "size Is the measure of power
that is, a man with small head cannot
get to be president Of the United States,
nor can real small man attain to that
position. They have a comparison of the
men who have been presidents of our
nation, consisting of the relative weights,
which goes to show that they have been
tall men, and that they have had large
heads
Psychologists also state that because
man has large head it is no reason to
believe that he has an unusual amount Of
brain power. But they say that he has
the best opportunity for development,
and he can cram more learning into his
head than the man with the smaller head.
People with thin heads are usually ruled
by the broad heads. The protuberance
Immediately above and behind the ears
denotes executive force and ability, and a
man with narrow head has little of this
power. The best lawyers and statesmen
have wide. broad heads. The argument
alive faculty, which is located in front
on each side Of the top of the head, is
well developed in these persons, SO that
1t gives the Uranium its shape.
LOU can keherAiy tell Whether man
is refined in his tastes by the width of
his forehead above the eyebrows. II he
has good development above his eyes,
he is man who knows what is going on
In the world about him. You can tell a
mans generosity and his sympathetic
powers by the size OF his head at the for
ward portion on top. You can also deter.
mine something about his own estimation
of himself and his ability to stand by a
point IL he thinks he is in the right by
knowing the exact size OF his head from
the middle Of each ear to the crown. His
fighting qualities and his ability to make
his way In the world are denoted by
slight elevations behind and above the
ears. The size Of a mans head is deter
mined by running a measure around It
just above the eyebrows to the back of
the head, passing over the Qecipital
bone. Sioux City Journal.

HOTEL SERVANTS ARE HONEST.
They Are Often Accused of Stealing,
but Are Rarely Guilty.

"A curious thing happened here to-
day" said the head clerk at one of the
leading hotels in New Orleans about
month ago gentleman and his wife,
from Milwaukee, spent a couple of days
in the house, and on leaving the lady
missed a valuable ring. She was positive
1t had been stolen by one OF the servants.
We set an investigation on foot and
promised to forward the ring IL found.
"a little later the husband wrote to in
quire whether the search had been sue
cessful, and when we replied in the mega
tive he notified us formally that he pro-
posed to sue the hotel. He claimed we
had shown great negligence in not ar
resting suspected employee, and his
comments were bitter In the extreme.
That was two weeks ago.
Now here is the sequel in the shape of
third letter that arrived this morning.
He says that he and his wife reached
home a few days ago and in unpacking
the luggage found the ring in one OF the
trunks. and he Is manly enough to add
very handsome apology for his hasty con-
illusions. Strange to say, that is the first
time in the history of the house that any
guest has frankly admitted such a blum
der after taking his departure, and blum
ders OF that kind are OF almost weekly
occurrence.
sit is the commonest thing in the world
at oil hotels for persons to go away de-
claring that they have been robbed by
the help. We know the missing article
subsequently turned up, because the sub
jeet is never referred to during later Wis.
Its, but in the meanwhile score or so of
humble. but honest and Woodworking peo-
pie have been placed under a suspicion
that is wholly unwarranted and unjust.
That is a point the average traveller
doesn't seem to consider. Hotel cham
bermaids are continually returning valu-
ables which they find In rooms. Dishcn-
esty among them is so rare as to be al
most unknown."-New Orleans Times
Democrat.

GANG NEEDLE MACHINES.



Machines Made Nowadays.
1t Is a more or less familiar fact that
sewing machines are used nowadays for
sewing many different materials, as
leather, paper, canvas, carpets, rubber.
Ihey are used for making buttonholes
and sewing on buttons. They are made
of many types and in simply hundreds of
varieties for special uses. But 1t may not
be known so commonly that there are
many sewing machines now made with
more than one needle.
The first of these. a two needle ma
chine, was made in the early eighties,
about 10 years ago. It was used BY man
ufaeturers Of heavy clothing, perhaps
first of all by the overall manufacturers.
making seams stronger by putting in two
rows of stitching. The utility and econ
omy of the two needle machine soon be-
came apparent, and it came into wide
spread and diversified use. Whe0eyer
two rows of stitching were to be made.
two needle machine was used. A IA
miliar illustration of the work is seen in
the two parallel lines of stitching run
ming with perfect exactness around the
top Of shoe vamp. Shirt sleeves are
stitched into the body of the shirt on a
double needle machine, the two rows be-
ing made In the same time that 1t would
take to make one. Collars and cuffs were
stitched on two needle machines, as were
great variety of other things, and later
there were produced machines with more
than two needles. There are now made
sewing machines with as many as IL nee
dies.
A IL needle sewing machine simply has
II needles where the ordinary sewing ma
chine would have one. Instead of a sim
gle spool of thread on the top of the ma
chine there appears there a rack Of IL
spools. There are IL tension disks. The
thread from each spool runs through its
own tension disk to its own needle.
There are below IL shuttles, one for each
needle. When this machine is operated,
it makes IL rows Of stitching, just as an
ordinary machine would make one. The
Il needle machines are used chiefly in the
manufacture Of corsets.-New York Sun.
