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

The egg shaped heads of some OF
the natives of Malekula, in the Heb
rides, we're 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
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 Malekula, where some extraor-
binary results are achieved.
"A conical head" says a writer IN
the National Geographic Magazine,
retreats from the forehead in such
manner that one is amazed to
know the owrer.of this remarkable
profile preserves his or her proper
senses, such as thv are. l could

was supposed to affect the intellect
in any way.
"Thc conical shape is produced
by winding strong sinnet cord spl-
rally about the heads of Young ba-
bieS and tightering 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 Il good purchase. The crown Of

Poetry. Painting and Furniture.

Rossetti insisted on everybody
painting. Books, he said. were mo

models upon in difficult positions,
and then they might be very USE
full" 'Tf any man has any poetry
in him." was another saying of Ros-
settrs, che 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
"N[odern Painters" Morris obeyed
the master and took to painting.
Even when Morris took to making
furniture that craft was at first re-
garded under RosSetti's influence as
merely means of providing spaces
for pictorial decoration. Morris
built some enormous chairs, "such
as Barbarossa might have sat in"
said Rossetti, who proceeded to
paint their backs with subjects from
Morris poems.

SPENcER's TREE.
An Incident of Pioneer Life In Old
Tennessee.


One seldom hears nowadays of
the man who gave his name to
Spencer's tree, says Miss o. u.
Bond, the author OF ''Old Tales Re-
told; or, Perils and Adventures of
Tennessee Pioneers" but IN olden
times the name of Thomas Sharpe
Spencer was connected with many
tales of Tennessee adventure. He
was a man of extraordinary size, re-
markably kind and gentle hearted.
He went to Cumberland county in
1Y76 in company with John Halli-
day to explore and hunt in the un-
known forests.
Halliday decided not to stay, and
Spencer went with him as far as the
border of kentucky to pat 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
rife 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 a suitable
place for n field, but also ready to
hand a large dwelling, vacant OF a
tenant.
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.
The dwelling 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 a spa
cious chamber which measured near.
" eleven feet across and thirty feet
and more around.
The new proprietor stood his rifle
against the wall, hung powderhorn
and drinking cup upon projections
Of the wood and was ready toI
housekeeping. At nightfall he
sprdh down furry bear skin and
lay serenely down to sleep.
Spencer lived in his tree through
the varying seasons of full year
caring nothing for wind or rain anC
Winding neither heat nor cold II
his snug retreat. The tall sycamore
known as Spencer's tree stood fol
many years after its tenant ha(
passed away and was long pointed
out as an example of the magnlii
cent growth found by the pioneer
| in our primeyal forests.

The natives of the New Hebrldes
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 good length. The
teeth grow in 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
a complete circle. A complete pig
tooth bracelet is very valuable
jewel, which is worn around the
wrist or attached to a string around
the throat.
