Poetry, Painting and Furniture.

Rossetti insisted on everybody
painting. Books, he said, were "no
use to a painter except to prop up
models upon in difficult positions,
and then they might be very use
full" "If any man has any poetry
in him." was another saying Of Ros-
setti's, "he should paint, for it has
all been said and written, and they
have scarcely begun to paint it"
a saying, by the way, which may be
found also in the third volume Of
"Modern Painters" Morris obcyed
the master and took to painting.
Even when Morris took to making
furniture that craft was at first re-
garded under Rossctti's influence as
merely a means Of providing spaces
for pictorial decoration. Morris
built some enormous chairs, "such
as Bsrbarossa might have sat in"
said Rossetti. who proceeded to
paint their backs with subjects from
Morris poems.

Pic Bone Bracelets.

The natives Of the New Hcbrides
islands. in the Pacific ocean, raise
pigs for bracelets. The upper canine
teeth Of the pigs are removed, and
that gives the lower tusks a chance
TO grow as much as they wish. The
lower teeth grow and, finding no
resistance. attain a good length. The
teeth grow in a spiral, and the tip
often lies beside the root Of the
tooth. Very rarely the point grows
into the root Of the tooth and makes
q complete circle. A complete pig
tooth bracelet is a very valuable
jewel, which is worn around the
wrist or attached to a string around
the throat.

POINTED SKULLS.
Admired by Some Tribes, Which Sc.
sure Them by Head Binding.

The egg shaped heads OF some Of
the natives OF Malekula, in the Heb.
rides, were once thought to be nat.
urally conical. For that reason sci.
entifc men decided that the Male.
kulans were in the lowest rung Of
the human ladder. : '3f' 4 -
Later it was found that the conf.
cal heads were produced as the Chi.
nese women distorted their feet
by binding them in infancy. The
egg shaped head is still fashionable
in .Aalekula, where some extraer-
binary results are achieved. ''ss
GA conical head" says a writer in
the National Geographic Magazine,
retreats from the forehead in such
a manner that one is amazed to
know the owner of this remarkable
profile preserves his or her proper
senses, such as they are. / could
not hear, however, that the custom
was supposed to affect the intellect
in any way. .@- rs, .
"The conical shape is produced
BY winding strong sinnet cord spi-
rally about the heads of young ba-
bies and tighte: 'ag the coils from
time to time. A piece of plated
mat is first put on the head and the
cord is coiled over this, so as to give
it good purchase. The crown of
the head is left to develop in the
upward and backward fashion that
is so much admired.
zone fears the poor babies suffer
very much from the process. The
child Issaw was fretful and crying
and looked as if it were constantly
in pain. But the mother, forget
ting for the moment her fear of the
strange white woman, showed it to
me quite proudly, pointing out the
cords with a smile.
"Shc had a normally shaped head
herself. and it seemed that she had
suffered by her parents neglect of
this important matter, for she was
married to a man who was Of no
particular account. A Young girl
who was standing beside her had
evidently had a more careful moth
er. for her head was almost sugar
loaf shaped. Ii is interesting to
know that this well brought up
young woman had married a chief"

SPENcER'S TREE.
an incident Of Pioneer Life In Old
e. 's~ Tennessee. r.

| !" tncioent OF Sioneer Life IN Ole
- > ''> Tennessee. 81 -
| One seldom hears nowadays Of
the man who gave his name to
Spencer's tree, says Miss O. q
| Bond, the author of, "OTd Tales Re.
told; or, Perils and Adventures Of
| Tennessee Pioneers" but in olden
times the name of'Thomas Sharpe
Spencer was connected with many
talessof Tennessee adventure. He
was man of extraordinary size, re-
markably kind and gentle. hearted.
He went to Cumberland county in
1776 in company with John .Halli-
day to explore and hunt in the I'M
known forests. - >':a
| Halliday decided not to stay, and
Spencer went with him as far as the
border of Kentucky to put him
safely so far on his way home, Kind
and thoughtful. to the last, the big
man with the big heart broke in two
pieces his long hunting knife and
gave half of it to Halliday, who had
unfortunately lost his own. .
/ With only half a knife and his
rifle Spencer turned back into the
forest and began to look out for, a
site for his home, He was, fortu-
nate in finding not only suitable
|'place for field, but also ready to
hand a large dwelling, vacant of a
tenant. l-'-.
The foundations OF the structure
were fastened deep in the earth, the
walls were tinted silver gray, the
lofty roof was lichen green, and its
frctted pinnacles lowered toward
the sky. = 80.
The dwellingt had a tall opening
in one side, through which Spencer
walked into the hollow of the great
sycamore tree which was to be his
home and took possession of spa
cious handkerchief measured near
ly eleven feet across and thirty feet
and more around.
The new proprietor stood his rife
against the wall, hung powderhorn
and drinking cup upon projections
of the wood and was ready for
housekeeping. At nightfall he
spread down a furry bear skin and
lay serenely down to sleep.
Spencer lived in his tree through
the varying seasons of a full year,
caring nothing for wind or rain and
minding neither heat nor cold in
his snug retreat. The tall sycamore
known as Spencer's tree stood for
many years after its tenant had
passed away and was long pointed
out as an example of the magnifi-
cent growth found BY the pioneers
in our primeval forests.
