intellect. Observe, l have a big head
My size in hats is seven and a quarter.
My natural modesty prevents me from
drawing further conclusions"
That fellow Constantine has a small
head, fancy?" murmured Hooper, with
quick sidelong glance at me.
Yes, | think SO. Oh, yes, l am sure.
1t is hatchet-shaped, with the animal
propensities dominant, and yet a certain
intellectually of forehead, aided, per-
haps, by the large dark eyes But
Steindal! He has a head modelled like
an egg, a type curiously capable of the
highest and most debased attributes"
He was silent after that. Hooper sig
nailed to me to remain stolid as red
Indian. But Karl soon moved rest
1essly. You fellows imagine | am on the
verge of a new display" he cried with a
certain impotence. Il don't say it is
impossible, but there is something hold
ing me back. l don't deny that | tried
just then to send forth an investigating
ray; but nothing happened, not even
the preliminary umbra."
He was fretful this evening, ANNOYED
that the power should apparently have
escaped him. He dreaded, | believe, lest
the tremendous strain of the incidents in
the Broadway restaurant should have
permanently impaired the representative
membranes and nerve-cells which were
called into play.
None of us had the slightest suspicion
of what had really happened, namely,

pretty Maggie Hutchinson, had set up
hostile influence (using the phrase solely
in its magnetic meaning) which tenn
porarily benumbed the delicate organism
of his sixth sense.
1t took him sometime to acquire the
exact poise of mental p1acidity most
favorable to the exercise of his unique
faculties. Meanwhile, a startling con-
firmation of his visions" came in an
unexpected and prosaic manner.
Hooper and | were awaiting him at the
door of the Mitre, a drive to Woodstock
being the order of the afternoon, when
Karl came to us in a great hurry, his lips
apart and his big blue eyes shining with
excitement.
Say" whispered Hooper, the Merlin
has arrived and things have happened"
And Karl actually had received this
most surprising telegram from his mother
in Scotland:
Mrs. Hutchinson and daughter Maggie arrive
in England to-day from States. They proceed
direct to Pail Mall Hotel, London and are most
anxious to see you at once. Wire them and
me. With love, MOTHER.

PRODUCE BUSINESS
 IS NOW RENTING
WITH THE WEATHER MODERAT- ING, MORRIS AVENUE TRADE BECOMES BalSH-BlRMiNG MERCHANTS LOST LITTLE.

The arctic wave that came down from the north and hung over the south during the past two weeks refrigerated business along Morris avenue. The zero weather rendered shipment of produce unsafe.
 The Birmingham merchants suffered comparatively small losses, however, as stores and warehouses were kept well heated. Men sat up all night to keep fires burning. Goods could not be shipped, as despite careful attention they would freeze in transit.
 Since the weather moderated business has begun to thraw out, and now the brokers are rushed with business filling orders, some of which had been on hand several days.
 The north pole weather did not stop in Alabama Florida orange groves suffered severely. The trees were laden with fruit, ripe and ready for the markets. The cold winds froze the fruit on the trees, and now oranges and leaves, both have fallen off and the trees are left bare. The fruit, to all appearance, is good But after thawing, it is nearly juiceless, anu Sli6uLiJ ShiANNiNN'. ~ -1
 growers gathered the fruit -ror. the ground and consigned it to different points, sev- eral cars having been received on this market. Wagons were loaded with these oranges and peddled through the city, like watermelons, selling for ten or fif- teen cents per dozen. People who were surprised to see oranges peddled for half the prices they are accustomed to pay their grocer will discover upon exam ination the quality of the fruits are not tlse same.
 Business is expected to improve rapidly as the weather conditions grow milder. Traffic was heavy on Morris avenue yesterday quite a lot of vegetables, fruits, poultry and game being handled. Pota- toes, cabbage, turnips, peas are staples in brisk demand. Prices are generally un- changed. The egg market has been high and strong, quotation being 30 cents per dozen. Poultry is in good demand at fair prices. Game is little cheaped. The snow that fell throughout the adjacent terri tory made the capture of quail and rab- bits less difficult, and the Birmingham market has been well stocked.

 ment of registered plumber and the pay ment of fees for permit and inspection. This Is a hardship-it Is oppression.
 The Philadelphia Hopper.
 Right here the question occurs, Why should the Philadelphia hopper be dis placed? These hoppers have been used for years No complaint has been made against them, and the Board of Health says the city never was in better sanitary condition The removal of these hoppers will fall heavily upon the poorer class of citizens
 Ut is significant, too, that the ordinance penalizes the plumber who works without a license, but has no penalty for poor workmanship or indifferent material.
 "There is no necessity for this new ordinance If necessity existed. the measure should be drawn by the friends of the people and not at the inspiration or suggestion of the master plumbers am in favor of a plumbing inspector When We elect one, let him take the ex- sting ordinance and revise 1t, bring 1t up to date, with a sense of the rights or the people in his mind This proposed measure will make it harder for the poor man to have good plumbing done Its teli- dency is to discourage rather than en- courage the observance of sanitary laws,
 q notice that MT. Barbour says the ordinance Is in line with those in force in Mobile, Atlanta. Memphis and other cities That is no argument. If such or dinances have been passed by those cities they have made mistakes, and Brming- ham is too progressive to copy mistakes and accept an instrument that is drawn in the interest of class against the mass of the people.
 Annoyance to Citizens.
 "The ordinance tends to the fostering of a spy system. l and other householders certainly have the welfare of our fam lilies as much at heart as MT. Barbour and his inspector could have Under the or dinance the inspector would undoubtedly have opportunities for causing annoyance to citizens.
 "The ordinance is structuarlly bad throughout" said MT. Heidt in conclusion. Amendments will not make it acceptable. have no fear. however, that 1t will pass. have been on the board for a long time and know my associates l do not believe there Is a possibility of getting them to vote for such a measure as this

VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA
alya tion Army Will Have Rival in Its Field
 of Labor.

The Salvation Army will very soon have rival in It's peculiar field of labor for the saving of humanity. Some of its members, dissatisfied with the result of Its operations here. have broken from the ranks and will bring General Ballington Booth. commander in-chief of Gods Volunteers In Ameri- ca. to Waterbury in few weeks and establish q branch of the organization here It is said the movement has the support of many of the churches.
 Until regular quarters are estab- lished here the Volunteers will be in charge of Mrs Etta Durant, 239 North Main street. Her position will be treasurer Mrs Durant left the Army a few months ago. after serving fif- teen years and over. She was with it in Rock Island. III. and Zanesville, O. In the lstter place she was sergeant major. Her enthusiasm in the cause is llmitless.
 Mrs Durant is in correspondence with Colonel J. ]. Keppel. Boston. New England commander of the Volunteers, and also with Captain W. k. Flemke. an organizer. living in New Britain. Captain Flemke was in town to-day and said that there is plenty of work for the Volunteers in Waterbury and that no doubt the people of the city will welcome them.
 Rallington Booth will come to Wa .erbury the last Sunday in January to note what progress the new army is making.
