MANS BRAIN NOT GROWING
Scientists Assert That Practically There Has Been No Change
 Since Dawn of History.

While there may be more or less change or variation, men are of practically the same stature and the same size of rain today as they were before the dawn of history. In prehistoric ages the size of the hu- man brain increased enormously. It is now larger relatively to the bulk of body than that of any other mam- maj, and is proportionately five or six times larger than that of any Himian now existing. In the Sim fans and in mammals generally, as in the elephant and horse, wherever there is much cerebral substance there is a corresponding "educ; l. ity" or power of storing up individ- ual experience as opposed to in- stinctive racial experience. But in man the increased bulk of brain ceased in the early palaeolithic times. feEducability" then began to diff ferentiate the human races.

NEW YORK AS CIGAR MARKET

New York is the greatest cigar making state in the Union, its pro- duct more than equaling in value that of its nearest two rivals, Penn- sylvania and Florida. In spite of the vogue of Havana labels and the superstition that only desirable cigars come from the West Indies, the importations from that quarter are only drop in the bucket com- pared with the vast domestic output, which in the year 1904 reached a value of $214,oOo,OOO. As matter of fact, New York State turns out more than fifteen times as big a supply of cigars as the whole country imports from Cuba.

MUCH PHOTOGRAPHED MAN.

Who is the most photographed person? asks London paper, which answers that his followers claim this distinction for Gen. Booth. Since the general started on his motor tour through England and Wales he has been photographed more than 4,000 times. According 10 a count made by an official &C., pompanying him the daily average of snapshot photographs exceeds 900. 'If all the photographs ever taken of Gen. Booth were brought together" said an official, "there would probably be a million differ pnt pictures in it. So great became the number of photographers at Carnarvon, where the general was speaking at an open-air meeting, That they had to be repulsed.

DRINK FROM CUCUMBER.

In Egypt the cucumber is made to yield a pleasant cooling drink by the following ingenious method {: \ hole is cut in the cucumber, the 'Dulp is broken and stirred with a stick, and the hole sealed with wax. Then the cucumber is lowered into a pit, where after a few days the juice ferments, which the Egyptian drinks and finds he has liquor en- tirely to his taste. In our own coun- try soup with its delicate flavor is an excellent introduction to a hearty and elaborate meal.

REFERENDUM MOVEMENT.

He campaign will end on June and the
\ voters should not lose sight of the fact
that the Initiative and Referendum principle is
on trial and that it rests with them whether this
movement shall be pushed in the State or
whether it will fail A number Of questions are
submitted to the voters for their approval There
is not one Of these questions on which an affirm
ative ballot could not be cast without the slight
est hesitancy. 1t may be that under the present
law the reforms desired by the referendum peti-
TONERS could be put into effect, but that is not
the important question raised The latter is
whether the people desire a larger share in their
own city government 1t the vote on the refer
endum petitions is small and lack of interest
manifest, the enemies of the system viii seize
upon little vote as an excuse Tor condemnina
It. The promoters of the initiative and referen-
dunn are working faithfully to arouse interest in
their measures. They were successful last au-
tumn in polling an enormous affirmative vote
They fell off in the country districts because thev
were unable properly to present the subject to
the voters OF those regions. There is no good
reason why the vote in the affirmative at the
coming election should not be large. No parti-
san politics is involved, but the test is simply TO
md out whether the people themselves are anx-
ious or willing to take more direct responsibility

PENNILESS SWANS
Members Sgn agreement
Not to Marry Any Man With
Less Tran $4,000

PIERRE, S. d., May 20.-Ten or nf-
teen young women OF Midland, west of
here, have formed "The Marriagcablc
Young Ladies' Protective Society" /"
and It's avowei object is the promo
tion of sensible marriages and the pre-
Nention of domestic unhappiness and
OF divorce proceedings after marriage.
Each Of the members OF the society
Las signed an agreement not in any
circumstances TO marry man who has
less than $1,000 in cash or its equiva.
lent and who has not insurance upon
his life OF $1,000 or more
The young women who organized the
society argue that poverty is tile pri-
mary cause of most of the domestic
unhappiness. and that most of the
divorce suits grow out OF It. They
take the position that Il all marriage
able young women Of the country
would take the pledge they have taken
and stand by it faithfully society
would be very greatly benefited and
the divorce courts. now so busy, would
soon be driven out OF business.
I'VE have organized our society not
IN a spirit of levlty," said one of the
young women, "but in a spirit Of car
nestness, and with a very serious OBJ
ject in view III we are firm and re-
fuse to recede from the position we

CITY ELECTION.

WITH the retirement Of the Hon. Thomas
w + Bayard as an asprant for the Demo
cratic nomination for mayor, the primaries Of the
party on Saturday were devoid of much OF their
interest A fight over the selecting OF a candi-
date for President Of City Council is not plum
to bring out very large number Of voters
In the Southern district however there was
a contest for the selection of a candidate for
assessor and as this is the Democratic region OF
the city where the vote of the party must be
rolled up, an unusually large vote was to be ex-
pected. The contest for assessor, however,
proved to be one-sided.
There is nothing in the developments
at the polls on Saturday to indicate that the
Democrats wili=,vin at the election Former
Mayor Bird, the choice of the party for mayor,
once held that position and made stirring fight
for reelection. We do not believe Mr. Bird will
be as strong a candidate this time as he was at
the last municipal election. Still, the Republican
ticket and leaders should take no chances They
should work for the success of the party with
much earnestness and activity.
The Democrats have nothing in the way OF
municipal reforms to present to the people Some
Of the candidates on the Republican ticket were
most aggressive in the struggle to increase the
oity's income through taxation OF the public SER
vice corporations. That is powerful card in
their favor, and Of itself should cause the
election Of the ticket. There is no reason to be-
heve that the Democrats would give the city
better or more economical government than it
has enjoyed during the Republican control and,
therefore, there is no reason why any indepen-
dent or any Republican voter should support
the ticket nominated at the primaries on Satur-
day.

their heroes who gained impershable fame on
the fields OF battle, in the halls Of legislation or
in various peaceful pursuits Many OF the north
ern states also have been jealous Of the fame oil
their great men This sentiment shows that there
is something in life beyond the mere accumula-
ton of money for oneself and the consideration
of self and not others
Here in Delaware we have been lax in these
matters Our monuments are few and tokens
Of appreciation, as expressed in memorials are
not often seen. TO be sure there has been some
thing Of an awakening Of late
We have a proposed monument for one of our
great statesmen under way but the funds are still
lacking. We have our veterans proposing mon
ument to the only Delaware general in the civil
war who was slain upon the field of battle and it
seems impossible TO arouse interest.
Delaware is surely as rich in material resources
as are most OF the Southern states and we should
be just as capable as they are, according to our
wealth and population, to commemorate the
deeds and lives OF our heroes. And the state
history is not lacking in heroes.
