HE SOLD HIS HEAD.
Peculiar Condition in Which Wealthy
Russian Finds Himself

hUS0ldH FlnOS t1ITnSSlIs
A curious story comes from Russia
about man who sold his head. About
the year 1865 there lived a man at
Keff with an enormous head. A Rus.
sian scientist, Prof. Walker, in order
to secure the head for scientific pur-
poses, bought it from its possessor for
500 roubes. The condition of sale
was that 1t should only be delivered
after the mans decease; but when
the transaction got abroad a great
scandal was created. The professor,
however, stuck to his bargain, and the
big head applied itself to business.
Fortune smiled on the latter; he fell
heir to big fortune, and then he
began to feel uncomfortable at the
thought that the head belonged to an
other. He went to the professor, offer
ed him 1000, 1900, even 1000 roubles
If only he would give him back the
absolute ownership Of his headpiece
But the professor held out, and for
aught that is known to the contrary he

Are Forced Thus to Supplement Their
Scanty Incomes.
A note from Geneva states that a
fortnight or SO ago a Swiss pastor
bought an inn at Ufhusen, little VII
lage near Basel. This is said not to
be an exceptional case. In the can
tons Of Upper and Lower UnterWalden
and Uri many Of the clergy are propri-
etors of inns. The reason for this is
that the priests are so badly paid that
they are obliged to supplement their
incomes by other means. Their aver
age income in Switzerland is $125
year. The establishments under their
control are said to be models of their
kind. The priests have succeeded in
reducing drunkenness In their par
ishes, for they attend on their custom
ers in person, refusing to serve those
who they consider have had enough.

THE EXPANSION OF RUSSIA
Nothing Stops the Progress Of the
Giant of the North.

1IdHl W lite INOTtII.
The progress of Russia is like the
spreading Of ink over blotting paper.
There is no natural barrier in Persia
to throw her back or head her off,
such as the mountainous frontier Of
India. But the prospect of Russian
absorption of Persia is not practical
politics today. Neither is it practical
politics nor healthy patriotism to
hound on Great Britain to occupy,
finance, protect or claim rights In
every country which lies upon her
road to India or Africa or America or
the South Seas. Such a policy is mere
ly suicidal. We can barely govern
efficiently our present possessions.
Fresh large responsibilities in Persia,
in China and ultimately in Turkey
would simply weigh us down to the
gunwale and finally sink us.-London
