of. They Indicate a man of four feet
eight inches, Of large bones. The skull
lacks the usual sutures. 1t is eighteen
inches in circumference, four inches
smaller than that Of the average skull
Of the white man. The jaws are large
and protruding and the teeth perfect.
The vertebrae have an additional
bone and socket for missing bone.
The bones Of the legs and feet are
normal, like those Of q man, but in the
arms the radius and ulna bones are
two inches longer than the numerous

siderable shorter, indicating an arm
that reached below the knee. The

A dealer in spices declares that the
consumer can now buy a pound Of
what purports to be pepper, ground,
packed in tin box and labeled
cheaper than the wholesaler can buy
pure unground pepper by the ton. The
dealer who undertakes to sell really
pure pepper must therefore charge a
price for his goods which seems high
when compared with the prices Of his
competitors, and thus adulteration be-
comes the general practice. It is an
outrage on the consumer, yet it is the
consumers continual demand for
cheapness that is largely to blame. The
honest dealer and the customer who is
willing to pay u fair price for pure
goods will have no redress until public
opinion demands government inspec-
tiona of all food products, the com
pulsory labeling OF such as are in any
vaysaduiterated and the punishment Of
all persons who sell adulterated for
pure articles. 4.

Ex-Governor Pillsbury of Minnesota
and his wife are going to build a
home for poor girls in st. Paul. The
ex-governor says: IF a girl is thrown
out Of employment, or for any reason
loses her bread-earning power, we
want her to feel that she is not with
out a friend. She need neve., despair
so long as our home stands. There she
can find food and shelter, be as COM
Portable, SO far as her surroundings
are concerned, as she would be any
where in the world" It is by such
things as this that John I. Pillsbury
deserves his statue, which, the work
of Daniel G. French, has just unveiled

The growth of population about the
Great Lakes will be one of the impor-
tant revelations of the present census.
Six Lake cities, Buffalo. Cleveland, To-
1edo, Detroit, Milwaukee and Chicago,
have added more than million people
since 1890. an increase of nearly fifty
per cent The increase is directly re-
lated to the growth Of commerce Of
the Great Lakes, which has doubled in
the last five years. The tonnage ca
pacity of vessels passing through the
canal at Sault Sainte Marie is now half
as large again as that of all the YES
sells which enter and leave the port Of
New York, and two and half times as
great as the tonnage which passes
through the Suez Canal. The Great
Lakes certainly cannot be called "a
waste Of waters" They are teeming
with life and usefulness.
