DRIED HEAD ORACLE
ENEMIES, POLLS USED IN STRANGE
 FASHION BY SAVAGES.
Weird Ceremonies Associated With two Pathological Specimens Found in the Edinburg National
 Museum of AntfuueN.

Most students of ethnology who visit the National Museum of Antiquities In Edinburgh cannot fail to be arrested, says the Scotsman, by two objects in the uppermost room The one is small slab of sandstone bearing the mark of an outspread hand; the other is an actual human head shrunk by artificial means to about the size of an apple. Both objects belong to re- gions which Europeans call "the new world" though thousands of miles apart-the head to district in Ecu ador, the hand-marked slab to Aus tralia, and the customs associated with each appear to be confined to very limited area in their respective coun- tries. The hand-marked piece of rock was cut out of the roof of a sandstone cave, or rather rock shelter. by Dr |. James Cox, and. through Sir Wyville Thompson, presented n 1878 to the Museum.
 The precise locality of this rock shelter is in Browera Creek, on the Hawkesbury River. near its confluence with the Pacific, some thirty miles north of Sydney. The hand mark was made by one of the aboriginal tribes; a man placing the palm of one hand fiat against the rock. other members of the tribe spat some wh:t", limey substance all over the adjacent rock surface, of course, with the result that when the hand was removed its form was left distinctly marked in ,he nat ural reddish tint of the rock.
 Shrunkcn Head rnd Oracle.
 After pointing out how this custom was at one time observed in varied forms in the different parts Cf the world the writer goes on to explain the existence of the shrunken head. IL comes. he states. from Ecuador that province of South America lying be- tween Peru and Colombia. The GUS tom of so shriveling up the hraIns and flesh of a head so as to leave merely a dried and dwarfed integument. is in vogue by one small tribe, the Makkahs who dwell amid the dense forests near the sources of the Amazon. and arc fast dwindling away. Attached to the head, at the back, is q cdriously twist ed cord, most likely for suspension the ends of it are passed through q hole in the head and then knotted across a small piece of the stem of reed which prevents the cord from falling out. The li9s are sewn togeth- CT by broad bands of thread. not al of the same color. and it is said thai the medicine man of the tr'b'. wher operating as spokesman for ,he former owner of the head. suspends it bv th' plcated cord around his neck. and ma

HISTORIC PRISON,
Demolition of Two Ancient Landmarks In Paris.

Paris Correspondence London Standard.
 Paris is at present given up to build CTS and Americans. In every street between Montmartre and Montparan- Western America or the shrill grating noise of a stone scraper. But all the demolitions and constructions are not yet begun. A note in the newspapers this evening says that the builders will probably begin to pull down the pris- ons of La Petite Roquette and St. LaZ- are, only after the holiday makers have returned, and when most of the pres ent works are completed. The demoli- tion of these two prisons has been dis cussed for more than a generation, so the news of their final condemnation is not altogether looked for-ailing bo- dies generally last so long. Sentt- mental people with a taste for the his tory of literature may regret the com ing disappearance, but those who have a thought for beauty and for hygiene will rejoice.
 The prisons are ugly and insanitary, and their associations unsavory The prio nof La Petite Roquette might go to d criminal museum, btu that Is the most it is good for. No doubt, in 1850, when it was built. it was looked on as the last word in the way of prisons for young criminals. It's cruel cellular system, its large central tower. from which all the buildings were watched, and the defenSeS at the other corners remind one of mediaeval chateau. The 400 youths in it will probably be hous- ed in place much nearer the ideal Of Cesare Lombrosa next year.
 St. Lazare. the WomenS prison, now almost byword for insanitary condi tions, is yet almost holy ground. The buildings originally belonged to mis, sion founded b ySr. Vincent de Paul in 1892. The room in which this godly man slept is now chapel. The place was first used to house young priests before ordination, and then to hold rich

Tin. on Loading Hay.

Some shippers evidently fail to rec cgnize the absolute necessity of load irg hay as it should be- said Il hay man to The Drovers' Telegram. and the oversight causes tfem severe losses upon what should anl would. If prop erly loaded in the car, bring q good rrice. When new crop Is handled great caution should be used In putting 1t up from the cutting to the balinS, but of what use Is this if a shipper either through Ignorapce or carcleSS- ,rcss, insists on loading it in the car iE such fashion that when t makes it's appearance on the market, it is hot, and what might have been even choice hay Is hard to sell as any grade.
 The most essential point in loading new hay is to see that 1t Is not load ed fiat, that is, with the flat sides of the bale up. When loaded this way, with the smooth sides of the bales to- gether no space is left for air, and as consequence 1t invariably heats
 properly loaded ca- has the edges or rough sides of the bales together This allows air space between the bales and always prevents danger of heating Do not try to load car with the pur pose of beating the railroad out of a few cents in weight. It's much better to pay In excess of the actual weight if necessary, for the selling price of your hay will more than make up to you the excess freight expense. In put

PENNsYLvANIA OFFICIALS.

Says Treasury is Six Millions Short Johnstown. Pa.. Dispatch.
 At a, political meeting this evening which was attended by 5000 people State Treas surer William H. Berry read a typewritten answer to series of questions asked him by the Republi- can advisory board. in which he made the astounding statement that when he took charge of the State treasur3 some months ago, from $4.000,000 to $6, ,000,O0O in cash and securities. which should have been in the treasury, were not turned over to him.
 He says he discovered this fact only recently, as the books of the office were from six to nine months behind and were only brought up to date by months of night work on the part oi his force.
 Treasurer Berry declares his belief that this money was in the pockets oi certain Republican politicians. and that he proposed to bring action for its recovery just as soon as the work of bringing the books up to date Is completed.
 Speaking of the new State capitol recently completed at a cost of about $13,OOO,O0 he says that it contains more than $S.5OO,000 of graft.

IMPROVEMENTS IN PEKING.
More Real Advance in China h Last Two Years than in Previous
 Millennium,

Century Magazine.
 A competent authority on things Chi
 nese. states that during the last two years China has made more real ad- vancement than in the previous millen- nium. That his judgment is sound Is apparent to those who enjoy the vant- age point of a residence in Peking. It
 has long been predicted that changes
 would be surprising in their speed. but
 the most sanguine had not hoped for what Is taking place.
 In passing through Picking the streets seem to be the most striking phenom- enon. Three years ago there seemed little hope that the black mud and disgusting sights and stenches would ever give place to anything better. The board that had been appointed to re- pair the streets was considered to have an Augean task and was the butt of many facetious remarks. Now the broad thoroughfares are fast being con- verted' into handsome avenues. The central portion, a strip of about seven yards in width, Is being well macad- amized with the aid of steam rollers. This is fanked on each side by shal- low drains of patchwork. a row of trees ,an unpaved strip of five yards in good repair, then a curbed sidewalk of varying width. cheaply cemented with pounded lime and earth. The building line has been strengthened. necessitating the rebuilding of many shops, the rehabilitation of which is in keeping with the rest. Long-forgotten sewers have been reopened, and places of convenience erected, the use of which is made compulsory. Innumera- ble unsightly sheds which have occu- pied half the roadway are being re- moved, forever, 1t Is hoped. and the youatters have sought other fields in which to ply their trades. The new roadways are guarded by uniformed po- lice in their sentry boxes, and kept in order by numerous laborers. Fine tel ephone poles. strung with countless cop per wires. replace the topsy-turvy line of the last few years. The telephone is no longer a curiosity, but is fast becoming a necessity to progressive business men.

were transplanted from the shores of old England to the coasts of the New World. brought with them the tradi- tions and the qualities of the line brave people from whom they sprang. Our New England girl is flower from the stock that blooms in old England still. In Maine, in Massachusetts, in Connecticut, she Is in many ways like her English cousin across the sea. But there is difference.
 At an earlier age than is usual in old England, our New England glri learns to act for herself and her man. ners are characterized by what may be styled a different independence. Shc is not easily rebuffed she is close observer and has a wonderfully nice touch when she describes what she sees. If you want tu discover her fiction look in the pages of Mary Wilkins and Alice Brown, or catch something or her delicacy and humor as she Is de- scribed by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps:
 A New England girl does not take the world by storm. On the contrary. the world is obliged to. woo her. and to do so patiently and chivalrously.
 All over New England, society is permeated and stamped by femininity. In a thousand villages young men ars at a premium, so ISW OI theih Tchiai III on the ancestral acres. The girls, too. fit away when they can. They, too, flock to the cities where they engage n business and professional life. and where they take hold of tough propo- sitions with a courage akin to that of their forebears who came across the sea to found another civilization in this land of the West. Some of them. howey CT, stay at home. and in the long winter evenings, the choir meetings and the sociables and the neighbor- hood clubs, are given over to girls and women almost exclusively.
 The New England girl. the sweet. gentle, strong, wellbred and fearless daughter of the Puritans is contented with her lot when she elects to stay at home, minister to old age, care for invalids and look after little children.
 Largely, the ranks of the educators are recruited from New England women, and as teachers they have at- tained success that is worthy of all praise.

Life Too strenuous.

"The Practitioner" sounds note of warning against the dangers of the strenuous life: It is good to be stren- uous, but it is also good, as the n"e' tells us to play the fool, or at any rate to be Idle at the right time and in the right way. This is just what the stren- uous man forEets. and the consequence is too often premature hreakdown-a common event in the storm and stress of modern life. The strenuous life is helping to overcrOwd our asylums. This, in The Practitioners" view, con sists not in change of excitement. or in hard work disguised as a game. but in that genuine repose of which Charles James Fox, strenuous as h. was in politics and in play, was think ing when he sad thc.s' was nothing Sc pleasant as to lie under a shady tree with a book except to do so without a book"

300 FOSSIL SKELETONS.
Bones of Many Strange Animals Re-
 covered From Rockies.

 New York special to Baltimore Sun.
 Three big expeditions of the Amer ican Museum of Natural History ar- rived from the Rocky Mountain re. gions today after several months )f rough work, bringing nearly two car loads of petrifed Roletons of nearly 500 animals, mostly new to science and which lived on earth from 500.00o to S,000.000 years ago. Among the many rare finds. one which causer considerable speculation and excite ment among the scientists at the mu- scum were two dinosaurs of spe cies new to science, one of whico was of huge proportions. bearing some resemblance to the great crea ture known as triceratops.
 The expedition to the Washhek' 9 Basin, in Southern Wyo.ling, was V charge ot Prof. Walter Granger; that to the Laramie formation nf Easter ! Central Montana, Prof. Barnum Brown; that to the Black Hills, Prof. AL bert Thompson
 Professor Brown obtained a skele ton of the claosaur or spoonhill di- nosaur except tho limbs, and enough parts of other skeletons to restore the animal complete as in life. Here tofore the femuI was lacking. II , also fo Gd very ~mpete skull ot d croco1t!e that IS cN' to science

a spell by order of their parents and the King. On July IS, 1789, the revo- litionary mob stormed St Lazare, and the arms taken there were used at the fight before the Bastile on the morrow. St Lazare was then used as barracks and next as a prison. Andre Chenier. a revolutionary poet, was imprisoned there in 1794. before mounting the scaf- fold. But even a solid reminder of a great priest. a great poet and the rev olution is not worth preservation if insanitary, and as the community stands to gain by the sale of the ground which the prison occupies. the demolition can give sorrow only to weak sentimentalists.

nipulating the broad band of threads hanging from the lips as part of his oracular duties.
 Several specimens may be seen in the Museum at Cambridge. The process of preparing these desiccated heads Is somewhat as follows: After the re- moval of the skull a heated stone. it is said. is introduced into the hollow of the neck. desiccation goes on. and it is reduced to about one-fourth. "A feast ensues. when the victor abuses the head roundly. to which the head is made to reply in similar terms, the Indian priest being the spokesman for the head, or chancha, the Indian name for a SOW. and he concludes his part thus: Coward! when I was in life thou didst not dare to insult me thus then thou didst tremble at the sound of my name! Coward! Some brother of mine will avenge me! The victor at this raises his lance. strikes and wounds the face of his enemy. after which he sews the mouth up, dooming g the idol to perpetual silence. excepting as an oracle. questions being put to it, when the inquirer is under the spell of a narcotic"

Remote Mis.ion station.

The most remote mission station in the world Is on Herschel island. in the far northwest corner of the Dominion of Canada. The nearest postoffice is 1000 miles away. Consequently the packets are few and far between. sell dom more than two in the year. Tha island is a most uninviting place for residenceI No sun for more than two months in the winter, and not tree to be seen anywhere. Under the teach' ing of the missionaries many Of the Eskimos are becoming more civilized and are greatly improving in thet' manner and habits. and there Is ( growing desire for instruction.
