Antonio MaceO's Skull.

The Revista Medicina Cirugia OF
Havana publishes an ''anthropological
study" by DR.. Montalvo, DR.. de la
Tore and DR.. Montana of the skull OF
the Cuban patriot, Antonio Maceo. The
most noteworthy points is the existence
of an interparietal, or, as it is sometimes
termed, an Inca bone, from the theory
that it was universal among, and distinc-
tive of, the old Peruvian race. This
however, was shown by Anoutchine tc
be erroneous. for after examining many
thousands of skulls in various museums
he found the bone in only 6.S per cent in
Peruvian, in As per cent. in negroes
and in 1.3 per cent. in Americans
Maceo was, of course, of mixed race
The general character of the Uranium
approximates to that of the white race
and indicates a man of remarkable ca
pacity. The rest of the skeleton inclnes
more to the negro type and shows that
he must have been a man of herculear
strength.-Lancet.

A PRETTY Booklet.

'"The best of everything" is the key
note of the success of The Chicago and
Northwestern Railway. In the equipment
and furnishings Of its magnificent passen
ger trains the best of everything is sump-
tuously used for the pleasure and COM
fort of the travelling public. The lit
erature of the Northwestern line is also
in keeping with this well-known motto.
The passenger department has recently
issued little brochure describing scenes
along the route of the famous electric
lighted Northwestern Limited, which is
an artistic gem. This little booklet con-
tains a number of elegant half-tone en-
cravings glimpses of principal cities, ma
lures freaks and scenes between Chicago
and the Twin Cities. 1t is the latest and
handsomest effort of the printers and en-
gravers' art in modern bookmaking. Four
cents in stamps, sent to w. B. Kniskern,

James Il. Keene's LOYALTY.

One Of the strongest traits of character
OF James r. keene, the Wall street null
tl-mllllonalre operator. is his loyalty to
his friends. He is said never to forget
one when trouble comes. Among his
early associates after he came to New
York from the West is an elderly man,
now broken in health and fortune. Years
ago, side by side, they fought the strenu-
Gus night. After one victory came de-
feat. The other could not rally, and all
that he had was lost-all except Mr..
Aeenes remembrance. 1t is said that he
receives at regular intervals an income
su1hclent to relieve his necessities from
forgotten investment made with the
California broker years ago. Another
instance Of his staunchness happened not
long since. y well-known man ION the

but self-relant and hopful. Il think l
can endure the Klondike,' he said brave
" to Mr.. Keene. There's no use hang
ing around the old scenes"

Piled the millionaire.
That evening Mr.. Keene mentioned
the sturdy resolve to group of old
friends, and the next day he turned over
TO the man who was down sum of mon
ey, sufficient to defray expenses in the
klondike for two years. If he strikes
luck said Mr.. Keene to his friends,
well all be glad and our money will
come back. If he fails, we won't regret
the money. That show Of the right spir-
it is worth it twice over"

Manuring Clover.

"A complaint which farmers frequently
make in connection with stable manure
is it's failure to produce much benefit en-
clovcrs. 1t Is only natural. however, that
stable mature is not the right fertilizer
for clover, cowpcas. or other plants be-
longing to the so-called 1eguminous fam
lily, because these crops have the faculty
of drawing their own nitrogen from the
atmosphere: hence, az stable manure is
valuable chiefly for it's nitrogen, it fur
nishes the ingredient of plant food which
these crops do not need from an artificial
source. The application of stable ma
nure to clover or peas is like carrying
coals to \cwcaStle.' Clovcrs need only
the mineral forms of food, and can at
tend to their own nitrogen Their cult

tmct gain to any farmer.-Bryan Tyson

THE BUILDING OF THE NEST.

They'll come again to the apple tree,

And the prettiest thing in the world will lie

Hanging 1t safe ON the top most limb.

All: mother-bird, you'll have weary days
When the eggs are under your breast
And shadow may darken the dancing rays
When the fedglings leave the nest,
But they II hnd their wings in Il glad amaze,
And God will see to the rest
SO come to the trees with all your train

through the April simmer of sun and rain
Go flying to and fro;
And sing to our hearts as we watch again
Your fairy building grow
