MURDEROUS MILLINERY.

said:
Zone day our pastor said During

a lady came to him and said: DO come
with me and hear those birds sing, oh
such mournful notes. There was a
room full of birds in very small cages,
and these birds were all blind; they
had had their eyes put out. In the
night the owners take them outside
the city and hang the cages in trees.
The trees are then all sEneared with
tar. These birds keep up their pitiful
singing, and other birds are attracted
to the cages, and they get stuck on
the tar, and then they are caught and
their eyes are put out. And these
birds are killed and sent to America
for ladies to wear On their bonnets,'
"And l looked around the congrega-
ton to see what ladies had birds on
their bonnets, and I was glad there
was none on mine; and I don't think
I can ever wear bird again. wide

MUST HAVE A LARGE HEAD.

"All things being equal" said the
phrenologist, "size is the measure Of
power. That is, a man with a small
head cannot get TO be president of the
United States, nor can a really small
man attain to that position. They
have comparison Of the men who
have been presidents of our nation,
consisting of the relative size of their
heads and their respective weights,
which goes to show that they have
been tall men, and that they have had
large heads.
"Phrenologists also state that be-
cause man has large head it is no
reason to believe that he has an unus-
ual 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 imme-
diately above and behind the ears de-
notes 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
arguGnenta'5ive faculty, which is located
in front on each side of the top of the
head, is we'll developed in these per-
sons, SO that it gives the Uranium it's
shape.
you can generally tell whether a
man is refined in his tastes by the
width Of his forehead, above the eye
brows. If he has a 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 forward portion
on top. You can also determine some
thing about his own estimation of him
self and his ability to stand by a point
if he thinks he is in the right by know
ing 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
determined by running measure
around it just above the eyebrows to
the back of the head, passing over the
ocefpfta1 bone. '-Sioux City Journal.

ceiling, which is entirely Of carved
wood, attracts the most attention.
There are a series of intricate de-
signs that show the genius Of art and
the skill of the carver, and the effect is
admirable. The columns, capitals and
arches have also been done in wood,
and they, too, enhance the beauty of
the church. The altars-one main
and two side-are also Of wood, and
show splendid specimens of the skill
Of the carvers. The floor is also Of
wood, and the sheen of its polish serves
to heighten the general effect. Most
Of the wood used is molave, best of all
the fifty varieties of hard wood that
grow in the Philippines. 1t is capable
of resisting any Of the insects that at
tack wood, and neither heat nor water
effect It. It is so hard that the fash
ioning of it is very difficult, but the
excellent results obtained make it
worthy Of the effort The art of wood
carving has long been taught to the
Filipinos, and the traveller in their
islands sees many samples Of their
work. 1t has reached its greatest per-
lection at the Jesuit College at Manila,
and the work IN the Jesuit church is
incOmparably the best so far done.
Twenty-three years ago the students
of the college sent an elaborate piece
Of carving to the Centennial Exposition
at Philadelphia, and with II won first
prize.
The architecture of Manila may be
truthfully said to be relieved Of
mediocrity by the churches, and that of
st. Ignatius Loyola is the greatest of
them all. The cathedral-massive
structure Of the Byzantine period-at-
tracts attention on account of its size
and the fact that its foundation stones
were laid in the sixteenth century, but
neither interior nor exterior are par
tlcularly pleasing. Another remarkable
church in the old city is that of St.
Augustine, built way back in 1870
from a design drawn by a nephew OF
the architect who planned the famous
Escurial in Madrid. For over 500
years it has defied earthquake and
typhoon, and the original walls still
stand as monument to the builders.
The design is rather OF the Tuscan or
der, but modern additions have rather
changed and obscured the original
lines. The church of Santo Domingo
is another imposing structure. 1t has
an exterior of ford Gothic and an
interior of nearly perfect Gothic but
the latter is marred by some impossible
coloring and some inartistic statuary
The same complaint may be properly
made of any of the score of churches in
the city and surroundings, with the
single exception of the Church of St
| 1gnatius Loyola. When the tide OF
American travel sets toward the
Philippines, and when Manila is in
cluded in the itinerary of the globe
trotter between Singapore and Yoke.

will win its place in the world of art

WHERE IS LIGHT?

Not many years ago action at a
distance was considered a fundamental
postulate of physical science A mag
net is observed to attract iron, and one
electrified body is seen to attract an
cher through Intervening space The
sun appears to hold its attendant
planets in their orbits by means of an
attraction exerted through vast dis
tances, and seems to send to them
their heat and light through empty
space. But when experiment proved
that the transmission of light was not
instantaneous, and required an ap-
prec1able time to pass from the sun to
the earth, the question at once arose,
Where is the energy we call light after
it has left the sun and before it has
reached the earth? 1t is evident that
nobody can act where it is not And
hence arose the necessity for the as
sumption Of an intervening medium,
or aether, by means Of which all
energy is transferred through space
and in which all energy for the time
being is contained. Today this ae,her
plays an all-important part in physical
phenomena. When stressed, it pro-
duces what we call an electric charge;
when flowing, it constitutes an electric
current; when thrown into vortices, it
gives rise to magnetic phenomena:
ard when it is put into vibration,
light-waves are the result Action at
a distance is now seen to be only ap-
parent, and to be really due to this
intervening medium, or aether,
through which all energy is trans
mitted.-George F. Barker in Lippin-
colts.

MANILA'S FINEST FAME.
Wonderful Wood Carving in Church of
st. Ignatius Loyola.

There stands in the old walled city
Of Manila church whose rare beauty
should win it place among the famed
temples Of the world. 1t is the Church
Of st. Ignatius Loyola, and, as the
name would indicate, was erected by
the Jesuit fathers. The ten years that
elapsed between 1879 and 1889 were
consumed in its construction, and
success that was truly artistic crowned
the effort of decade. The exterior
is neither imposing nor artistic, but it
it was upon the interior that effort
was conferred, and few structures in
the world can boast Of the perfect
harmony of. effect there attained
Practically the entire interior is done
in the native hard woods OF the Philip
pine Island that have been carved by
master hands. A remarkable fact in
connection with the work is that it
was all done by natives. The designs
were all made in Europe, but every
credit is due the workmen who so
closely followed their models. This
incident illustrates a peculiar trait in
the Fflipinos. They lack the original
fty, but are wonderful isnitators. Give
their carvers a model and they will
duplicate to perfection. Let their
painters see a picture and they will
reproduce it on their own instru-
ments. Probably the most artistic
piece Of carving in the church is the
pulpit. It is massive affair affixed
to one Of the giant columns close to
the altar rail. On its sides are a
series Of panels upon which nave been
carved scenes depicting important
scriptural events. The pulpit has a
beautifully carved base, and upon the
outer side Of the balustrade are the
figures Of saints. The figures have all
been perfectly carved and there has
been wonderful regard for detail
Proportions are perfect and the effort
is at once harmonious and artistic
A prodigious amount of labor was ex-
pended upon the pulpit. Rev Father
Francisco Simo, one of the rectors of
the church, under whose direction
much Of the work has been done, re-
lates that the carving Of the base of
the pulpit consumed two years, and
that the balustrade occupied nearly as
much time. Next to the pulpit the

SELDOM RESORT TO LYNCHING.

| have never known out one case
where negroes lynched a man; this
was in Mississippi; tie victim was a
negro who had committed the usual
crime against one Of his race The
execution was quite ''orderly" and
business-like, resulting in very little
public excitement or comment In
deed, what seemed most memorable
about the affair in the common mind
Of the neighborhood was a trifing
incident. The lynched negro had a
little mongrel dog Late ON the night
of the lynching a well-known white
man, pretty deep in his cups, went
stumbling along the path from the
village groggery to his home and fell
limp under a tree. Towards daybreak,
when the moon sailed high, he was
awakened from his stupid sleep by a
Shiny tongues touch on his face. 1t
was the Negroes dog, and high above
him, dangling in the dim sheen, was
the stark negro himself From that
moment the dog never forsook the
white mans heels, following him,
loving him, serving him with pathetic
faithfulness, until old age kindly re-
turned him, possibly, to the company
