LONG AND SHORT HEADS.

Prof. Gustaf Retzuis delivered the
annual Huxley memorial lecture re-
Gently before the Royal Anthropolog
ical institute on the north European
race, the blond, long-headed race
which has made it's home in Sweden
After referring to the classification OF
races by Linnaeus Anders Retzuis
and others, and emphasizing the i'm
portance of craniometry, he pointed
out that the Neanderthal race was
closely related to the present Euro
pean peoples naturally fall into two
classes-the long-headed northern
race and the short-headed mid-Euro-
pean race-and continued:
1.-THE north European race branch
can not properly adapt itself to the
demands made upon it by Industrial
ism. 1t desires a freer, less con.
strained life, it lacks the endurance
necessary for carrying on a uniform
kind of labor, it has not the patience
to stand chained to machinery day
after day, year in year out, and to
work exactly like a machine itself. 1t

Contract Agent c. L. Myers, of the

Company, reached the city last night,
as did a dozen or more managers OF
smaller independent companies oper-

holding a general conference with At
torney General Stirling and the three
members of the railroad commission in
regard to the form of contract which
the Cumberland has been making with
these concerns at connecting points,
and which have resulted in the bring
ing Of suits for alleged violation of the
antitrust statutes.
A large number of these contracts
have expired or are about to expire

character, and both the Cumberland
and the small companies are willing to
renew them. They therefore want TO
show to the satisfaction of the author
tiles that there is no complaint from
any interested source on accoun. of
the form of contract, and that there
is no injured party, both the coInpa-
MES and their patrons being satisfied.
The contract in question is alleged
to violate the law by forestalling CON-
petition in binding the small comra-
MES not to connect with any other
company, not to transmit messages
over any other lines and not to sell
their property without first giving the
Cumberland the refusal of it. It. also
requires the smaller companies TO
use the appliances and instruments
prescribed by it, and which it calls
standard appliances.
The result of the conference has not
yet been made public. but IL is not be-
lieved the attorney general has agreed
to withdraw the antitrust suits, or
that the railroad commission has or
will agree to approve the form Of
contract formerly in use.

PROFITS OF FOREST
Practical Value of Woodlands in
Germany Is Immense.
One-Third Of Area of State OF Baden
Devoted to This Industry, Which
Yield Big Gains-Acreage Of
Other States.

Philadelphia, Pain view of the
general interest in municipal or COM
munal forests, as advocated in this
country by the American Civic associ-
alton, the report obtained by S. B.
Elliott of the Pennsylvania forest re.
serve commission concerning the prac-
teal value of such woodlands in Ger.
many is a remarkable document. This
shows the actual profits obtainable
from public forests, according to the
American Civic association.
There are 1,342,944 acres of forests
In Baden, which state has a total area
of 3,726,665 acres. OF the wooded
lands, 577,465 are owned by commune.
ties and corporations. In Baden 1850
of the 1864 communities have forests
and, in addition, 2S7 schools, churches,
hospitals and other similar corpora
tons are engaged In practical forestry.
From these public forests there are
allowed to be cut yearly 1,724,3OO
board feet of timber, which has a
value of 100000 free of expense of
cutting.
AS an instance of the communal for
ests, the city of Baden has 10,576
acres, the income from which is $780,
All, as against an outlay of $33,991, so
that the net profit is $66,0S0, or ap-
proximately 1925 an acre. In Erie
burg, the forests cover S,0S5 acres,
representing a total income of $S4,-
166, with an outlay of $37,330, or a
profit of $46,3S6, or 1919 an acre. In
Heidelberg, the forests cover $3.50
acres. The income is $39,S34 and the
outlay s27,1S9, showing a profit of
$12,625. Heidelburg still is acquiring
land, and that expense necessarily re-
duces its net income.
In the village of Braunlingen, which
has 1,601 inhabitants and 1907 acres
OF forests, there is an allowance to
the citizens for firewood and 10000
board feet Of lumber is given to
churches, schools and other public in
situations. From the timber sold the
net income is $21, 800 and Braunlingen
is not only free from all communal
, taxes, but is enabled to establish cleo.

public improvements.
Even in the village of Aufen, with
only 220 inhabitants, there are 1853
acres of timber lands. This gives
1000 board feet of tirewood to each
citizen. and the $4,000 board feet of
timber sold nets more than s1,400,
which is sufficient for all expenses of
the little community.
These advantages OF public forests
could be multiplied to the number of
every community having them. Ac-
cording to the very latest report, the
various German states having produc-
tive communal forests are: Prussia,
S,309,109 acres; Bavaria, 2,041 ,45O
acres; Wurtemburg, 466,2O3 acres;
Alsace-Loraine, 373,417 acres: Baden
(dcmains), 239,S96 acres; Hessia Estate
and domains), 1898 acres; Prussia
crown, 165,492 acres. and Feursten-
berg, 74.493 acres.
In Hessia forests are being planted
upon land hitherto devoted to agricul.
ture.

Love is the geratest power in all the
world. Greater than all the wealth of
all the ages. The navies and the
armies are subject to its whims and
caprices.
| when all else fail love saves
Beaconsfleld thought: I'VE are all
born for love-It is the principle of ex-
istenee and it's only end"
And Beaconsfield was right,
But love is a curious something-it
is selfish and unselish-it Is cruel and
it is kind-it is just and it is unjust.
From it we experience the greatest
pleasures, and in it's mysterious grasp
We suffer the most intense pain.
Love is never satisfied. The more
you give it the more it wants. And
1t is also true, the more you give the
more you have to give.
There can be no division of true
love. 1t demands all or nothing.
Just whether or not there is more
pleasure or pain in loving, let the
poets answer:
Bailey says:
Gould l love less, l should be hap
pier"
Addison thought that:
Endless torments dwell about thee,
Yet, who would live and live without
thee?"
| Byron exclaims:
who loves raves-'tis youths frenzy
but the cure
Is bitterer STILL"
Then comes along Cowley and la
ments:
"A mighty pain to love it is,
And this pain that pain to miss,
But of all pains the greatest pain,
Is to love, but love in vain"
But there is another view. Sir
Thomas Browne found:
There is music in beauty, and the
silent note which Cupid strikes is far
sweeter than the sound of an instru
ment."
The seventh heaven delights of love
were described by Addison when he
said:
/ when loves we'll timed,
IT'S not fault to love-
The strong, the brave, the virtuous ant
the wise
Sink in the soft captivity together
What more divine and ineffable bliss
could be described than that which
filled the soul of Robert Burns wher
he said:
"a youthful, loving, modest pair
In others arms breathe out the tender
tale
Beneath the milk-white thorn that set!
the evening gale"
And Gaping it all, as the star
decked dome of heaven bends over tn,
earth, Browning pictures the ideal:
When we talked-O how we talked
her voice so cadenced in tn,
II talking,
Made another singing-of the soul! ,
