The Perfect Head.

A perfect head, viewed from the side,
falls within a perfect square, averag-
ing nine inches for a man and 80
inches for woman. The width Of the
face is equal to five eyes. The distance
between the eyes is equal to one eye.
The size of the eye is two-thirds that
of the mouth. The length of the noar
is one-third the length of the face. t.,
ear is, at all ages, as long as two cyl
Although these are the ideal measui&
ments and are approximately adherd9
to, SO fond of irregularity is nature
that rarely any face corresponds to
them. The two sides of any face are
never exactly alike. Strictly speaking,
the face extends only from the chin to
the root of the nose. Above that point
is the brain case. For well developed
brain the width of the head just above
the ears, measured with callipers,
should be from 81 to 61a inches, and
the height from the opening of the ear
to the top of the crown should be ex-
actly the same In women both height
and width are one inch less than in
men, women's heads approaching the
type belonging to children.-London

He swung the Lantern.

A southern senator was at one time
counsel for small railroad. At
point on the line where it crossed a
prominent highway they had an old
negro Waterman, whose duties consist.
ed in warning travellers of the APP
proach of trains. One night farm
er's wagon was struck, causing bad
accident. The railroad company was
of course sued for damages, and at the
trial the old darby was the chief wit
ness for his employers. He answered
the questions put to him in a clear, di-
rect manner. Among them was the
query as to whether he surely swung
his lantern across the road when he
saw the train coming, to which he reg
piled:
"'Deed did, sah."
The railroad company won the sISne
and the senator took occasion laterSX
compliment his witness on his ext
lent testimony. The old fellow Ia
profuse in thanks, but before Z =
parted bluntly said:
"Lordy, Marse John, sho' was

was goin' to ak if it was lit or not,
cause de oil in it done give out some

The Sensitive Tortoise.

Few animals seem more impassive
than the tortoise, but those who have
ever watched it's movements know that
the creature is really very sensitive.
A few drops of rain will send it home
with all speed. Even the distant ap-
proach of a shower makes it uneasy
Hence Gilbert White remarked that his
tortoise showed 'as much solicitude
about the rain as a lady dressed in all
her best attire"
The bright light of the sun seems
especially grateful to tortoises. They
rarely stir out at night, and the APP
proach of winter drives them into their
retreats. This physical sensitiveness
shows their temperament to be less
sluggish than is commonly supposed.
The animal also learns to recognize
persons and. remembers those who feed
it. instantly distinguishing them from
strangers.

Awful accident Near Kimballton.
Hrs. Albert Christensen Falls Into Forty.
Foot Well. coroner's Jury Finds Ver-
dict of Accidental Death.

frs. Albert Christensen Falls Into Forty
Foot Well. coroner's Jury Finds Ver-
dict of Accidental Death.
Last Monday evening the whole
community out by K.imballton was
Mortified and shocked by the news of
the accidental drowning of Mrs. AL
bert Christensen, a quarter of a mile
north of Kimballton. The we'll into
which she fell is about twenty feet
southeast of the house, is forty feet
deep, and contains about five feet of
water. The well, we understand, was
curbed just to the top of the ground
and then covered over with boards. A
frame was then put around this and
pulley attached. One board a foot
wide was lifted to allow the bucket to
pass through, leaving space about
four feet long, through which she fell,
striking seemingly on her head in the
water. She was last seen by her hus-
band at about five O'Clock in the even
ing. Between six and seven he went
to the we'll to draw same water and on
looking down saw something in the
water which he first took to be chick
en-. A close examination showed it to
be clothes and he soon made out his
wife's handkerchief, a red one. He
then began to call her and search the
house for her but failing to find her,
called his sou Chris who was working,
near. They soon made the horrible
discovery that the wife and mother
was dead and had died in this most
horrible manner. They called on
Hans johnson who lives just south of
them and who hurriedly drove over
with several of his men, and then they
attempted to get her out. They first
tried to put ladder down but had
none long enough, so they tied a rope
to one they had and Hans johnson
got on it and was lowered to the un-
fortunate woman. He got hold of her
and then the crowd pulled both of
them out, although the aggregate
weight must have been over three
hundred and fifty pounds for she was
quite large woman. Coroner Hers
man was summoned and impaneled
as jury, Jake Esbeck, Chris Larsen
and Hans johnson, who returned the
verdict that the deceased met her
death by accidental drowning. A
good many held the belief at first that
it was suicide as it seemed to be inn
possible for person of her size to fall
through that small space. But there
could be no cause given for suicide, al
though her health has not been the
best for some time, but she was never
respondent. She was a woman be-
tween forty-five and fifty and with
her husband was one of the pioneers
in that community as they settled on
the place they now own about twenty
years ago, and had but little to begin
lite with. They have worked hard
and saved until now they have com.

life easy. They have but one son who
is still at home. In this their bereave-
ment they have the sympathy of the

As His ChiId Saw Him.

A prominent real estate man in Los
Angeles had an experience few even
ings ago that kept him guessing for a
little bit as to whether he should feel
complimented or otherwise. He was at
home with one little daughter while
his wife and another of the children
were downtown. Darkness was COM
ing on, and the little girl was anxious
~ watching for her mothers return.
Her nervousness grew apace in spite Of
the fathers attempts at reinsurance.
At length the little one burst into
tears, saying:
II just can't help it! need mamma,
and must have her"
do you do this way when your
mamma is here and Pm awayY" asked
the father.

one, "'cause then there's some grown

Burial.

Samuel Lee died, last Saturday, at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. Albert
Hunt, in Melville township, of a COM
plication of diseases, and was buried
Sunday in the cemetery at Melville
Center. The deceased had seen the
snow of fifty-seven winters, while as
many summers had mingled in the
sunshine of his heart. He had work
ed for over twenty years in an elevator
and the deadly poison of the grain
had done its work, SO that his later
years have been spent in misery. His
two daughters, however, have faith
fully cared for him and provided for
his every want, during the declining
years of his stay and passed him on
with his blessings for children, who
did not forsake him when he was in
need.

HOLES in THE AIR.
Invisible Pitfalls With Which AIR

ships May Have to Contend.
Some very terrible accidents may be
expected to befall aerial navigators
should airships ever become sufficient
ly perfected to make this species of
travel at all common owing to the fact,
well known to all aeronauts, that there
exist in the earth's atmosphere at GER
tain places and under certain condi.
lions yeritable holes or pits of vast
depth. An airship sailing unwittingly
into one of these aerial craters would
sink with far more certainty and far
greater swiftness than would a leaden
ship of the same size and shape in an
ocean of water.
Accidents Of this nature have actu-
ally happened to aeronauts in the past,
but of course the ordinary balloon is
not nearly so much affected by the
sudden descent as an airship would be.
Nevertheless, an experience of the kind
is sufficiently disconcerting even to the
stoutest hearts and strongest nerves.
M. Tissandier, ballooning with two
friends above the town of Vincennes,
some years ago, happened on one Of
these invisible air holes, which proved
to be over mile in depth, the balloon
falling that distance with such in
credible rapidity that the earth APP
peared to be rushing up to meet them
with the speed of an express train, and
the bags Of ballast thrown out by the
alarmed travellers fell not downward,
as might have been expected, but up
ward. Luckily denser stratum of air,
answering to the bottom Of the pit in
question, was encountered when they
were few hundred feet from the
ground, and the downward rush of the
balloon was checked as if by contact
