African PYEnlles.

The heads of the Pygmies were Of
The brachycephalic order, says Samuel
P. Werner in the Atlantic. The mean
cranlal index Of the skulls of eight
adult males was eighty.one degrees.
The nose was small, but more aqui-
line than that Of the real Negro. The
mouth was large and the chin usually
receding. The hair was of a lighter
color-almost a shade of brown--and
was kinky and woolly. The hands and
feet Of the Pygmies were small and
well shaped, the hands in particular
being delicately formed, In proportion
to their size, the strength of the Pyg-
mics far exceeded that Of all the other
Africans. Their powers of endurance
on the march or in the chase were
phenomenal. Fifty miles a day was
an ordinary march for them, and they
were almost as much at home in the
trees as the monkeys themselves. The
senses Of the Pygmies were unusually
acute. At quite distance they could
distinguish the chameleon from the
foliage in which it was hidden, al
though the color Of the little animal CO.
incided with that of its hiding place.
Much of their quarry was discovered
through the powers Of the nose, and it
iss no exaggeration to say that the
Pygmy's sense of smell was as keen
as that of his dog. They were such
shots with the bow that have seen
one send an arrow through a rat at
twenty yards, while it was running
across the village.

Saving the Pennies

She was a nice little girl who had Just
joined one OF the downtown clubs, the
dues OF which were one cent, payable
weekly. One day she came to the club
with tears in her eyes. The directress,
a kindly young lady vastly interested in
sociological problems, kindly patted the
child's head.
What's the matter, Maggie" she
asked.
Maggie gulped and then looked up
with doglike faith. MY ma says she

This has the right ring. 1t sounds
strangely like truth, considering its
source. One can almost forgive the
awful mangling the English language
received when the spirit of the thing
is taken into consideration. The effect,
the object, the excuse for the demur-

board for a pupil except as horrible
example, but the spirit behind the
language is sound and wholesome. The
man who is accused of stealing and
utilizes the legal invention called de-
murrer makes 1t plain to all men that
he fears the result of trial on its
merits.
The demurrer in the case of man ac-
cused of taking what did not belong to

acter as that of the refusal of wit

We have intimated that Murphys

about the best specimen We have OF the

Generalship in the regular army by
conduct strictly unbecoming an OFF,
Ger and a gentleman. He has checked
his way TO notoric.y, takes himself
seriously, and stranger still serious
people are disposed to take him seri-
ously. Perhaps the fact that he is a
Kansan, bred in the bone, accounts
for HIM. The peculiar mental atmos-
phere and ethical surroundings that de-
velop Carrie Nations and Mary Leases

ISSUES IN HAWAII.

That distinguished and calm mind
ed jurist Judge Humphries, now OF
Hawaii, but at one time a star of the
first magnitude in Arizona has been
severely thumped and at the same
time New England has been vindi-
Gated.
For a year or more the enemies of
Governor Dole. of Hawaii. mustered
and directed by Juage Humphries,
have been endeavoring to effect his
downfall. lne Governors friends de-
nouneed those who were hostile to him
as carpet -baggers m&Aded per-
sons who had Detaken themselves to
honolulu to take possession OF 1t and
enjoy the fat pickings in which it
abounded.
Their nefarious designs have been
frustrated. Governor Dole had in
fiuence at Washington. The Yankee
children stand togetner through thick
and thin. The New England Senators
rallied to the support OF Dole and
foiled his enemies An official state
ment has been issued from the White
House that the President had heard
all that could be said against Dole and
was satisfied that he is worthy OF the
confidence of the administration.
The hawaiian executive will there
fore be retained in Office. His vindica-
ton is complete; the 'carpet-baggers"
have been thwarted the old regime
will not be disturbed. AS for the car
pet -baggers," that is to say Humphries
and his followers, it may be said that
they are still saucy and defiant. They
impudently assert that the only peO-
pie in the islands who do not belong to
the "carpet-Dag fraternity are the ma
tives-lne original inhabitants of
Hawaii They insolently declare that
the islands were first carpet bagged"
by missionaries from New England
every good thing in a political and
business way
1t seems almost superfIous to add
that the real Hawailans are not inter
ested in this controversy. Between the
old 'carpct-b -bageers and the new they
have little to choose. The naughty
Ane'o-Saxon from the States has left
the Hawaiian out in the cold, That
dusky gentleman doesn't care when
OF the "carpet-bag squatters wins IN
the final controversy. There is nothing
in it for him. When he pays his taxes
and keeps his mouth shut the end the
carpet baggers' have in view lor MN
has been achieved.

THE SOUND OF A PIANO.

Seeming Defects That May BE Ofs@m
Dne to Exterior Causes.
"a piano" said a dealer, will some
times develop or seem to develop a
flaw in some one note, which comes To
have a rattle or Jingle or unpleasant
burr to 1t. but this jarring sound which
seems to come from the piano may in
reality come from some source quite
outside OF 1t.
ANY given note when struck pro-
duces a certain number OF vibrations to
the second. There may be In the room
some object that Is In tone sympathy
with some particular note, and that
viii be set in motion by II when that
note Is sounded.
1.-The owner Of fine piano sent to us
one day to say that there was some
thing wrong about certain note OF
the instrument, so that that note had
nm unpleasant sound when struck.
When heard the note sounded, knew
at once that the disagreeable rough
ness or buzz about 1t was due not TO
any defect in the piano, but to some
thing somewhere about In the room
and, asking the lady to strike that note
occasionally, walked around the room
to see If could locate 1t.
Passing across the middle OF the
room as that note was struck the
cause Of the jarring accompaniment of
it was discovered to come from the vi.
bration of one OF the glass globes on
the chandelier overhead.
The owner Of the piano was almost
incredulous as to this, the sound had
seemed so plainly to come from the
piano itself. But when at my request
she stood under the chandelier and
struck the note she was readily con-
vinced
Il made that globe immoyable and
then struck the note on the piano. The
answer was clear and sweet and true.
80, you see, the sound of the piano
may for one thing depend much upon
Its surroundings, and what may seem
to be a defect In piano may be in re-
ality attributable to something quite
apart from the piano itself.
And thus 1t might easily be that
some noble instrument that had SEEM
ed to be declining or to be developing
faults owed its apparent change to
change Of environment or to some spe-
citc outside cause and was in reality
as good as ever, as would happily be
discovered whenever the instrument
was again brought under favorable
conditions. ."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

ABOUT DEMURRERS.

1t Is always pleasure to The Citi-
zen to recoru any evidence of regener-
alton or public spirit on the part OF
it's contemporary, the Star We are
aware, of course tnat it is unnatural
and contrary TO the arranged order Of
things, that Star in Tucson or else
where, could shine luminousIy in the
day time, but not every Star in the
armament seeks as assiduously as the
Tucson radiator 10 cheer the path OF
the corrupt and criminal.
1t Is therefore a pleasure to OBJ
serve the following in the Star of
,ns morning:
The fact is. the people of Arizona
would like to see Governor ndrph E
ana his auditor walk up and face the
issue. They either had the right or
they did not have the right to draw
the money from the treasury to re-
cover whicn the suit Is brought. II
they had the right then give the courts
change to say So II they did not
have the right. then give the court the
opportunity of saying SO, and requlr-
ing lnem to return the same to the
public treasury. 1t don't look right to
see the Governor of the Territory
lodging behind a demurrer, when
charged with receiving public funds
uniawfully. Consciousness of right open
honesty don't dodge behind demurrers
1t comes out ana courageously meets
the issue. A demurrer Is such a case

r,.a,nx Through street GratinEs.


In winchester. England. II ~ quite u

These streams receive the storm ana

Of the ordinary street grating. The line
