"The Dyaks alone said the ethnolo-
gist, shave the secret Of taking an
adult human head and reducing 1t, like
this, to less than half its size. Their
houses are ornamented profusely with
these reduced heads Of enemies slain
in battle. No one knows how the re-
duction Is accomplished. 1t Is a mar
velous secret that the Dyaks refuse to
give up.
"Savages, degraded as they are be-
side us, possess a number of marvellous
and unfathon able secrets. One is the
making of fire by the rubbing Of dry
twigs Only savage can do that.
Another Is the construction Of fish
skin suits. The natives Of the Siberian
coast make suits of fishslxin that are
softer, finer and far more waterproof
than any fabric known to us. What
could be so waterproof as fishskin?
"a third is the secret Of arrested

It would be absurd to advise not to

hold and play with it, and Go not be-

hold him very little and that their low

College VS.. AIatrimony.

DR.. Stanley Hall has again repeated
his assertion made some time ago that
the tendency of a college education is to
cause fewer women to marry. His sta
tistics arestaken from Smith, Wellesley
and Yassar colleges, the facts having
been secured from the secretaries of the
classes. The report showed that ten
years after graduation one-half of the
women were unmarried and that TWEEN

whnt They Each Require.

Girls of Indiana formed a society
called the Young Ladies' Protective AS
ISOLATION, in which they declare for
men who have bank accounts Of $4,000
at least and life insurance to that
amount. The men have since organized
the Mems Precaution Club, in which
they want to know what they are to
get for their $1,000 in the way of good
housekeepers. A wife requiring this
amount must not object to smoking any
place in the house, must be a good cook
and must not care for cats.

Marriage a Failure.

He did all the counting before mar
riage.
He never talked over his affairs with
his wife.
He thought of his wife only as a
cheap houseKeeper.
He never dreamed that a wife de-
served praise or compliments.
He thought his wife had very easy
time.
He married an ideal, and was dis
appointed to find it had flaws.
He paid no attention to his personal
appearance after marriage.
He treated his wife as he would not
have dared to treat another woman

SCHOOL DAYS.

Every morning Just about 8,
Little Pink Sunbonnet opens the gate,
And tin bucket upon her arm,
Trudges away from grandpa's farm,
There cookies, and apples, and butter and bread
Tucked away beneath that shining lid;
And a dear, little, childish curly head
Under the sunbonnet's crown Is hid.
The saucy kitten refuses to play;
Oh, 1t is lonesome at home all day;
Nobody singing about the place;
Nobody coaxing the dog to race;
No little feet the fresh-scrubbed floor,
Breaking to pieces grandmas rule.
Oh, 1t is sad when summer is DER;
Little Pink Sunbonnet starts to school.
Little girls grow, Of course they should,
Soon to beautiful womanhood.
Then from the door, happy day,
Dear little maiden will go away
1t is not strange we should think Of this,
When in the morning, bright and COOL
Not forgetting a goodbye kiss
Little Pink Sunbonnett goes to school

There are fashions in perfumes as

and then she will keep it, no matter
