MEN STILL LIVE IN CAVES.
Troslcdytic Villages Are Found In
Northern Africa.

Grottoes and caverns are used more
or less as shelters by primitive peo-
pies and thus inhabited caves are of
course most frequent in Africa. A con
siderable number of natives make
their homes in along the south
ern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar
and in some of those caves are found
the polished stones and arrow heads
Of the stone age. Troglodyte villages
are frequent in the Tebessa territory
of Algeria, one of which, at Djeurf,
$50 feet above the gorge of the Wadi
Hallail, is reached by steps cut in the
rock.
The inhabitants of the Tunisian
Island of Galite are cave dwellers,
their habitations being grottoes which
they have dug out of the limestone, or
ancient burial caverns that they have
enlarged. The s~ubterranean villages of
Matmata and of Medennie, hewn out
Of the rock, are in southern Tunisia.
A Christian monastery built under
ground in the twelfth century still ex-
lists at Goba, Abyssinia. The enor-
nous cavern discovered several years
ago within two hours walk of the port
of Tanga, in German East Africa, con-
tains rooms the roofs Of which are
from 100 to $50 feet above the floor.
Only a few of these vast chambers
have yet been explored, for the entire
cavern seems to be inhabited by mil
lions Of bats. One of these killed
with a stick measured nearly five feet
across its extended wings.

HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER.
German Doctor Explains Causes Of
Various Formations.

At a recent convention of German
n%aturalists and doctors DR.. Watcher,
Of Stuttgart, In an instructive paper
put forth a sensational theory to ex-
plain the formation of the shape Of
the head of infants. He maintained
that the head of a child could be
nodded artificially. He found by ex-
perience that when a medium-shaped
head Is placed in a soft cushion the
child turns on It's back, or rests on the
back of its head, in order to free
mouth, nose and face. In this manner
the head rests smoothly, and a short
head Is developed. But II the medium
shaped head of a child is placed on a
hard under-rest, like a hair mattress
or rolled carpet, the child's head
turns aside, as 1t cannot stand any
more on its head than an egg, for the
muscle of the back is weakened.
Therefore, with continued resting on
the side a long head Is developed. To
prove his assertions the lecturer pre-
scented a child whose mother and sis
ter are sh~ort-headed. The child at it's
birth had a short head, now after Is
months it is long skulled. Ii the child
had been placed on its back, according
to other experiences its head would
have been short-shaped. DR.. Watcher
did not deny that the shape Of the
head was inherited, but asserted that
it could be greatly influenced by the
way the child rested.

THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA.
viii Open Up Immense Area of Free
Homestead Lands.

The railway facilities Of Western
Canada have been taxed to the ut
termost in recent years to transfer
the surplus grain crop to the eastern
markets and the seaboard. The large
influx of settlers and the additional
area put under crop have added large
ly to the grain product, and notwith-
standing the increased railway facil-
tiles that have been placed at the dis
posal Of the public, the question of
transportation has proved to be a Sc
rious one.
1t will, therefore, be good news to
everyone interested in Western Can
ada to know th&t an authoritative
statement has been given out by G..
M. Hays, president of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, that that rail-
way will do its share towards moving
the crop of 1907 from Alberta, Sas-
katchewan and Manitoba to tide water,
and thus assist in removing a serious
obstacle which has faced the settlers
during recent years. Mr.. Hays, who
has just completed a trip from Port
age la Prairie to Edmonton in a prai-
RE schooner, a distance Of 735 miles,
which was covered in eighteen days,
Is enthusiastic about the country.
This will be gratifying to settlers in
the Canadian West, even If Mr.. Hays
declines to be bound to a time limit
with the exactitude of a stop-watch.
The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be
in a position to take part in the trans
portation of the crop Of 1907, and that
will be satisfactory to the settlers in
that country when the harvest is gar
nered.
The wheat crop Of 1906 in Western
Canada vas about 1000, 900 bushels,
and, with the increased acreage which
is confidently expected to be put un-
der crop next year, it is safely calcu-
lated that fully 1876, 600, 900 bushels will
be harvested in 1907. The necessity
for increased transportation facilities
are, therefore, apparent, and the state
ment made by Mr.. Hays will bring en-
couragement to the farmers Of the
Canadian West, new and old. The
opening up of additional thousands Of
free homesteads is thus assured by
the agent of the Canadian Govern
ment, whose address appears else
where.

American ldealism.

Since my first arrival in America l
lave held that the real spirit is ideal
istic and that the average individual
American is controlled by idealistic
impulses. Those who may contradict
me can not have sounded the depths
of the philosophy Of Ralph Waldo
Emerson. or studied the life and read
the speeches OF Abraham Lincoln, and
considered their far-reaching effect on
the American people. In Lincoln's
great character nothing a be more
striking than the way in which he
combined reality and the Hottest ideal,
with a thoroughly practical capacity
to achieve that ideal by practical
methods. This faculty seemed to give
him a f~ar-sighted, almost superhuman
vision, which enabled him to pierce
the clouds obscuring the sight of the
keenest statesmen and thinkers Of his
age-Baron Speck o Sternburg, in
Forum.

COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.

A resident Of a great western state
puts the case regarding stimulants
with a comprehensive brevity that is
admirable. He says:
4 am sc years old and have had CON
siderable experience with stimulants.
They are all alike--a mortgage on re-
served energy at ruinous interest. AS
the whip STIMULATES but does not
strengthen the horse, SO do stimulants
act upon the human system. Feeling
this way, | gave up coffee and all
other stimulants and began the use of
Postum Food coffee some months ago,
The beneficial results have been ap-
parent from the first. The rheumatism

scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies FruitIess-Suf.
Tered 10 Years - Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

when l was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs. | scratched them with a
brass pin and shortly afterwards both
of those limbs became so sore that
! could scarcely walk. When / had
been suffering for about a month
the sores began to heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been. From that time on
ward / was troubled by such severe
itching that, until / became accus-
toned to it, I would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for a few
days, but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom-
pany them. After / suffered about
ten years I made a renewed effort to-
effect a cure. The eruptions by this
time had appeared on every part of
my body except my face and hands.
The best doctors in my native coun-
ty advised me to use arsenic in small
doses and a salve. / then used to
battle the sores in a mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In adj
dition | used other remedies, such
as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, IS
Salve, - Ointment, and in fact l
was continually giving some remedy
a fair trial, never using less than
one or two boxes or bottles. All
this was fruitless. Finally my hair
began to fall out and l was rapidly
becoming bald. I used IS -,
but it did no good. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, I thought I would try Cuticura
Ointment, having previously used
Cuticura Soap and being pleased with
1t. After using three boxes l was
completely cured, and my hair was
restored, after fourteen years of suf-
fering and an expenditure of at least
$50 or $50 in vainly endeavoring to
find a cure. l shall be glad to write
to any one who may be interested in
my cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Yer.

ALWAYS to BE Demanded upon.

When a person gets up in the morn
ing with a dull headache and a tired,
stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
lily remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be de-
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.
