Pointed Skulls.

The egg shaped heads of some of the
natives of Malekula, in the new Heb
rides. were once thought to be natural
lv conical. For that reason scientific
men decided that the Malekulans were
in the lowest rung OF the human lad
der t...~
Later it was found that the cOnical
heads were produced as the Chinese
! women distorted their feet, by binding
them in infancy. The egg-shaped head
is still fanishonable in Malekula, where
some extraor linary results are
achieved.
"A conical head says writer in the
Nat ona: Geographic Magazine re
treats from the forehead in such a
manner that one is amazed to know the

out the cords with a smile.
"Sae had a normally shaped head
herself and it seemed that she had suf-
fered by her parents neglect of this
important matter, for she was married
to a man who was of no particular ac-
count. A young girl who was standing
beside her had evidently had more
careful mother. for her head was almost
sugar-loaf shaped. 1t is interesting to
know that this we'll brought up young

Where IN 1906 the British athletes had
a long journey to make and also to
combat climatic conditions they will
be at home this year, with every thing
in their favor London will suit the

are forced to make a long journey and

New Factor in Labor Question.

During tho last six months nearly half a million aliens have left the country and each succeeding week adds ifs thousands to the number of the departed. Some of these would have gone away under any conditions. but this wholesale exodus introduces q new factor fn our industrial expsri- pncc. Hitherto in times of industrial depression there has been no such out let for surplus labor. The burden nT maintaining the army of unemployed has fallen on society at large and upon individual workers with modest savings.
 It is p7ohal'ls that tho unemployed in the country to-day may be counted bv hundreds of thousands. but tiIe situation is fmmeasurahly relieved by these voluntary removals from fhe field of labor competition Tt Is trus that these outroing crowds cary many dollars wifh them. but we snail be able to zet along win what theT leave behind them and the Ieszenel competition Ia the field of industry and the Eassaneri demand in the do main of rhsrffT are fair oompeusa- tiun for the loss It would le letter fnr the country if there were york fer these reFEIe that would keen them aui the5r money where the nsouev v-ss earned.

going out into the world, spread the observance further [, till at last-so runs the version of the customs growth-it had found followers all over the country. General Logan's order merely gave official sanction to the observance.
 But the Decoration Dayy" of the northern states-May 30th-is not the day which is honored by the ma jority of the commonwealths which 1 lie to the south of the old Mason and Dixon line. In Alabama and Florida and Georgia the earlier spring, with | It's earlier buds and blossoms, has caused the setting of April 26th for this ceremony of reminiscence and patriotism. In Tennessee it falls on May Sth, and in the Carolinas two days later. On one date or another, however, every state in the now in- diyisable union recalls the men who fell during the great debate"
 Very recent years have added a new feature to Memorial day-the honoring of the sailor dead, whose far-scattered graves must for all time remain unmarked. In 1900, at the suggestion of Mrs A. s. c. Pores. a California woman, the school chill dren of Los Angeles gathered at Long Beach to throw upon the water laurel and flowers and tiny flags. while the burial service of those who have died at sea was read. Then the regulation salute of three volleys was fired, as the tribute was borne out to sea on the ebbing tide.-The American Bar.

A carload of babies on their way from New York to homes in the south passed through Cincinnati a few days ago on the Queen and Cres- cent railroad. There were forty-five babies in the consignment and they were in charge of several trained nurses and two sisters of charity. the party occupying an entire passenger coach. The windows were screened with netting to prevent .he babies who were anxious to see the sights as they passed along from falling out. They were all little tets from 3 to 5 years old. and comprised tven- ty-fouT boys and twenty one girls. 4 linen slip was attached to the clothing of each child on which was printed its full history. embracing its name. name of parents. date and place of birth and other facts of in- terest to the persons who have adopted them.

The Anti-Imperialist league of America is taking a right step in cooperating with the Society for the Advancement of India in the ex- posture and refutation of the false excuses which have been put for ward for the condition of the Hin doc people, says one writer. This society has issued a pamphlet, writ ten by Rev Jabez T. Sunderland, en- titled The Causes of Famines in India" which tells the American people far more truth about the In- dian situation than they are likely to find in any other publication of the kind. Mir Sunderland is an American, who, on a visit to Eng land, managed to interest the mem bers of his own religious body, the Unitarians, in the subject, and they sent him to India in 1S95-S6 to re- port upon the condition of the h. dian people. He saw the country at first hand, conversing with all sorts and conditions of people. travelling more than 1000 miles over the country. and visiting many districts that no American ever sees. He has heard at their own mouths the de- fense of their policy made by the English in India, and he has read widely in their literature on the subject. His summing-up is that the famines of India are the result of misgovernment. and not of nat ural conditions. And with the fam ines go the dreadful epidemics, which are the consequences of fam inc.
