CORRECT Facial Angles.

AS rule, the greatest facial angle
belongs to those OF refined and intel
lectual nature: the average is about 80
degrees. In some of the Grecian statues
it is as high as 100 degrees. but the
Romans rarely represented it over 95
degrees. 1t was the Dutch connoisseur
Camper who first used the term facial
angle-that angle which Is formed
when a straight line is drawn from the
middle of the forehead to the point of
juncture OF the nose and lip, where it
is met by another imaginary line cross
ing from the opening of the ear. To
form an opinion as to ones intellectual
capacity, their profile or facial angle
must be studied. The average height
of a man of the Anglo-Saxon race is 5
feet 6 inches and the average weight
140 pounds. Their weight is greatest
at As years OF age. Early grayness
without badness is an indication OF
long life. Persons naturally thin are apt
to live longer than those who are fat.
This knowledge may be source OF
satisfaction to those OF lean and hun
CRY aspect, like Cassius. The average
height of women of the Anglo-Saxon
race is five feet two inches and the
average weight III pounds. Their
weight is greatest at fifty years of age

CHINESE SMUGGLING.
Montreal the Headquarters of That

Montreal the HeadquArters of That
Husiness In Canada.
Montreal is the headquarters OF
Chinese smuggling from Canada to the
United States. The Canadian Pacific
its limited transcontinental express,
keeps pouring the Celestials into the
city. and the Chinese companies keep
showing them out across the line at a
good round sum per head, to be paid In
weekly installments when the travellers
have succeeded in establishing them
selves In some United States town. The
company patronizes two different
classes OF people to carry out their
schemes successfully. The more ad-
vanced patronize the Border Snug
Cling Trust" as it is known. and
which is said to consist of a number of
United States border lawyers and Chi
nese Interpreters. These people agree
for certain stipulated sum to see all
the Cinnamon which their employers
may send safely to the United States.
with the proviso, however, that they
are to suffer n short time of pre-
1iminary Imprisonment. The consign-
ors are to send one or more photo
graphs of the men shipped and, with
the aid of these. spurious relatives are
faxed up, who at the proper time are
brought forward to swear that the man
who was arrested when he entered the
United States has lived there for years.
and has only been on a trip to China.
Their testimony is backed up by the
mans certificate which, however. is
not his. but belonging to "A man who
actually has gone to China and has
sent back his certificate. The fact that
to the American nearly all Cinnamon
look alike facilitates this fraud. Often
certificates are short and their scarcity
compels even the more advanced rep
resentatives of the Chinese companies
to turn to the men who still carry on
the smuggling business in the old ro-
mantle style. with all the dangers at
tending the work. Men and women are
engaged in this. and the Cinnamon
are sometimes driven and sometimes
railroaded into this country in dis
guise. Whole freight cars by some pri-
vate arrangement have at times been
chartered for the purpose of smuggling
in whole crowds of Cinnamon at the
same time but driving is considered the
safest way.

The Irish brigade in the Boer army
numbers $500 men. The German bri-
gade has 1000, nearly all trained in the
German army. and commanded by OIL
GERS who fought against France In 1870.
And a third brigade of foreigners is
composed of French, Scotch and Eng

valiantly against the British as those
who make up the Irish brigade. There
are nearly 200 Americans. principally
from the Rocky Mountain country. en-

WROTE"IN HIS STEPS"
AND GAVE REFORM MOVEMENT
A START.
Rev. Sheldon OF Topeka Is Ono of the
Most Original Proachcr. In the Coun-
try-Bsiisves In Less Preaching and
More Practice

Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon OF Topeka,
kan Is probably the most original and
unique figure in the religious world to-
day. He first attracted attention by
MS novel, In His Steps" When people
began to study him they found him re-
markably interesting. He is a man Of
marvellous resources and is simple and
direct In his manner of doing things
lie has applied these characteristics of
simplicity and directness in his meth
DDS of conducting the Central Congre-
gational church of Topeka. of which
he is pastor. A radical departure OF
DR.. Sheldon from accepted form is his
method of conducting Sunday evening
service. Instead of the conventional
sermon he has for long time given
readings from original religious novels,
bringing home to the congregation the
truths and beauties of the better life
in this way. These novels are pub
lished after the congregation has heard
them. and some of them have had a
phenomenal sale.

A FIERCE HAMATsA.

VIII He Brought all the Way From
Vancouver and May be sent to tho
Paris Exposition-Chief of the Csnni-
haIs of the North Pacific.
Especial Letter.)


An attempt Is to be made to bring
to New York from Vancouver for scien-
tific purposes speciment of the ham
atsa. This queer freak Is vastly dif-
ferent institution from the mahatma.
to whom he is the antithssts In the
spiritual world.
From physiological as well as from
psychological points of view he Will
be the most interesting study which
has been brought before civilization in
many years. He has been discovered
by n scientist OF international reputa-
tion and will possibly be shown in the
chronological section OF the Paris expo
sition.
The hamatsa belongs to one Of tho
tribes of North American Indians
known as the Kwakiutls. and is the
deified monster who is the chief feature
or performer at the wolf dance. which
is part of their religious ceremonial.
This ceremonial is the quaintest and
queerest affair which the mind of man
ever devised. The dancers of the tribe
attire themselves in blankets and head
gear representing the wolf. While the
preliminary ceremonies are going on
they hide behind a screen hung in the
rear of their outlandish temple. When
the singers commence their incantation
the wolves" issue from the right-hand
side OF the curtain and disappear at
the other after the dance. Other fea-
lures of their ritual have to be OBJ
served, and during the progress OF
them when one OF the singers makes
mistake in the rhythm of their song.
in the way they turn, smile or chew
gum, the members of the wolf society,
who are led by the hamatsas, jump
from their seats and bite and scratch
the delinquent. He drops down at
once and feigns fainting. which is the
signal for the wolves to surround him.
when he mysteriously disappears. This
shows that spirit has taken him away
to initiate him. The hamatsa is the
chief OF the dancers and Is regarded as
cannibal by instinct, with an inveter-
ate desire to eat men. His actions are

A BIG WAR AT HAND.
Little Short of Miracle Can Prevent
That Miafortune.


That Misfortune.
War between Russia and Japan is
lookeS for as inevitable by the naval
officers OF those countries who have
been nearest the probable scene of fu-
ture operations. says Lieut.. w. Roman
of, of the Imperial Russian navy. who
is now in this country. Just how soon
such a war may begin 1t is difficult to
say. but events little short of miracu-
lous must occur to avert 1t. The ia
panese are building warships as rapid
ly as possible, in anticipation of the
outbreak Of hostilities. and Russia is
strengthening her navy as fast as she
can. That Russia must have a naval
base between Port Arthur and Vladi-
vostock is conceded, and that she will
try to get one in Corea is certain. In
the event of such a war 1t is considered
probable In Russian naval circles that
Russia will have the aid of Germany
and that England will take the other
side. European war will follow the
outbreak of hostilities between Russia
and Japan. The movement of Russian
troops toward the Afghanistan and
British India borders. the mobilization
of transcaspian troops at Baku and He
rat, and other military maneuverings
on the part of Russia. are taken by OH
cial Russia to mean the beginning OF a
movement to eliminate English inlu-
ence in territory hitherto held by her.

England will have to fight to retain

WHITE SLAVERY IN EARLY DAYS
Servants We're bought and Sold by the
American CoionIsts.


American Coionists.
Alongside the development of the
tobacco industry there had grown up
in the south an extensive system OF
slavery. To our minds today the
word slave" as applied to this cont
nent. is practically synonymous with
negro" but slavery in the colonial
days was not by any means confined to
the negro race. The indentured SER
wants who could be bought and sold,
formed no inconsiderable class in the
colonies. For the most part these
people were English laborers who sold
their services for certain number OF
years to pay for their passage to the
plantations. Many of them were ex-
convicts or persons of broken fortunes
who in a fit of recklessness had plung-
ed themselves into the abyss, trusting
to luck that they might come up in
a better plight in new world. Some
times gangs of these unfortunates were
driven from place to place for sale.
The colonists not inappropriately call
ed the masters of such gangs soul
drivers" and, despite the fact that
these white slaves were purchased by
the planters for their services, the
dealers engaged in such traffic as
business but received little sympathy
from the people. The story is told OF
one master who, after selling all of his
gang except one young Irishman drank
himself into a heavy sleep and awoke
the next day to find that the son OF
Erin had represented himself as the
master, sold his drunken owner and
made off with the proceeds of the sale.

metallurgist and writer of promise,
and an excellent musician. To bohe-
mian tastes he Joined marvellous busi-
ness instincts and genius for affairs
that has few parallels. He stayed n
year, gauged the situation, and went
back to New York to organize COM
pany to operate in the Butte copper
mines. In 1892 he returned to Mon
tana and Immediately erected smelt-
er. At the same time he secured a
lease and bond on the Glengarry, G
mine that had been worked by several
and abandoned as worthless. But the
Glengarry proved a talisman for
Heinze. In thirty days he was digging
therefrom the finest ore in Butte. and
in such quantities that he had to en-
large his smelling works. He purchas-
ed the Rarus in 1895 for 100000, and

A strong man and an accomplished
soldier. Sir Charles Warren has had a
more extended experience in South
African warfare than any of the di-
visional generals already appointed,
and his conduct of the Bechuanaland
expedition of 1SS4-S5 was conspicu-
ously successful. A Royal Engineer of
close upon forty-two years standing,
Sir Charles Warren did not see active
service until 1877, when, after serving
for year as Boundary Commissioner
in Griqualand West, he was given the
command first Of the Diamond Fields
Horse and subsequently of the Field
Force in the Griqua and Bechuana
campaigns of 1879. Here he saw a
great deal of "rough-and-tumbl
fighting and emerged with several
mentions in dispatches and a brevet-
lieutenant -colonelcy. In the Egyptian
expedition Of 1882, Sir Charles was
employed on special service among the
Beduin in connection with the mur
der of Professor Palmer-a duty for
which his previous experience in Pales-
tine exploration was a useful qualifica-
ton. In 1SS4S5 he led the Bechuana-

that he sought notoriety and that he

his admirable personality disarms any
