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.
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.
ga conical head,' says writer in
the National Geographic Magazine,
Retreats from the forehead in such
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.
'"The conical shape is produced
by winding strong sinnet cord spi-
rally about the heads of young ba-
bies and tightening 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 a good purchase. The crown Of
the head is left to develop in the
upward and backward fashion that
is so much admired.
Gone fears the poor babies suffer
very much from the process. The

strange white woman, showed it to
me quite proudly, pointing out the
cords with smile. 4
"She had a normally shaped head
herself, and it seemed that she had
suffered by her parents neglect of
this important matter, for she was

Smallest Bone In the Human Body.

The smallest bones in,the human
body are to be found in the ear.
The smallest of these is known by
the anatomical name of stapes. It
has a head, neck and two launches
and is shaped not unlike stirrup
iron. The full extent Of its dimen-
sions does not exceed that of a pea
and is frequently smaller. ByNsome
authorities it has been named the
lenticular bone, from the idea that
its shape and appearance resemble
that of lens. It is situated within
the drum of the ear.

Property and Government.
From the Portland oregonian.

From the Portland Oregonian.
In our country We have a theory that
government Is an abstract thing, and
should be ASSOCIATED from property. But
We find 1t impossible to carry out the
conception. since property is necessary for
support OF government. In the British
empire the people are more frank on the
subject than we are. and more disposed
to admit the rights of property as an in
huence in government Yet In fact, at
The bottom OF things. we acknowledge
the principle to as sreat an extent as
they Go. or even to greater extent Hence.
when our radical politicians, b eatLing
fire and slaughter against property, come
Into power, as they sometimes do, they
become tanlely conservative and disap-
point their supporters. Property inter-
ests will. indeed, have their influence in
government. or there will be no govern
ment.
But in al! the history Of the world the
wealth Of no family has been permanent
and probably that Of the sreat families
OF finance IN our day will not be. The
democratic spirit is against 1t; and it has
more powerful agencies now at it's COM
Mand than those of mere revolutionary
violence. to which 1t formerly appea ed
Agitation often employs foolish and I'M
Just methods. But 1t succeeds. The Diff
Guilty always is to hold it within rational
bounds. They who call property privi-
lege mistake. in most cases. Most prop
erty Is the fruit of intelligent enterprise.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. December 22.-Weak cables
and prospects Of a liberal increase In re-
ceipts In this country within the next
week or two, caused weakness in the
wheat market today. Commission houses
were free sellers and the market lacked
any good support.
At the start prices were 4 to 5sas4 low
er. with December at 1.15E and May at
1.111s to Lily After touching 1.15ss De-
cember sold of to LISA. May. for a
time. held within the opening range.
Corn prices continued their downward
course, owing to general selling based
on continued cold weather in the corn
belt. Initial quotations showed losses
OF Is to y, compared with the previous
May sold at 664.
Weakness of wheat and corn had a
depressing effect on the oats market
sentiment In the pit being bearish early
In the day. Elevator interests led in
45h. and later touched 45A.
Liberal receipts of live hogs and a
slackened deman.. for the cash products
prompted considerable selling of prtvi-
sions early In the session. which resulted
In decided weakness. Prices at the open
Ing were to 27is cents lower.

The Satirist.
From the New York Tribune.


Every little while some wise man tells
US that what this country needs Is
genuine satirist, which, Of course. is true.
But he goes on to depict scene of quite
incredible excitement--every fool up
tree. solemn folk exploding. self-compla-
cency punctured, vice pilior.ed, humpug
stripped and small group of very intel
ligent persons ihimself among them be-
side themselves for joy at the well di-
rected cuts, bites. stines. burns and RAJ
pier thrus.s. Yet he knows as well as we
do that We should all come off without
a scratch. When a great satire bursts
upon the world the SUI prising thing has
always been Its utter harmlessness. The
vices do not stink to cover" The fool
does not know he is being killed. The
wounds Of vanity all heal by first inten~
ton. and the Debated composites of our
middle age fill as ain as naturally as TIE
lungs do. While waiting for this man
of genius to blow up all the follies to
the sky good many writer's might be
doing useful work at the reduction of lit
erary terms to the actual size OF the
thoughts behind them. Perhaps some
sort Of practicable table for Computing
literary shrinkage might in time be de.
vised.

Centenar.ies.
!. hi the london Timea.

Frederic ddrflSOG, IN the LONDON l1mes
In this age of centenaries is not
laudable custom in danger Of being over
done? This annus mirabilis, 1869, brings
us round to the birthdays OF four great
nglishmen-Darwin.T ennyson. Johnson.
Gladstone-to say nothing OF others, such
as Calvin and Tom Paine. who have been
commemorated by their respective adj
mirers. What with aviation records,
rival budgets and Halley's comet, We can
hardly live up to the incessant sensations
which race across our thoughts like fly
ing men at Blackpool in gale. l see
more centenaries coming along soon
Charles Dickens. Thackeray, to be follow
ed by Shakespeare himself. Now l have
mitigate this stormburst of centenaries.
which pelt US like November meteors-
coming and going before we have re-
covered breath.
In one word. my suggestion is to limit
our concentrations to the centenary
only of the death, not of the birth, of our
worthless. This would reduce the number
OF these festivals by two-thirds at least
besides being more truly historic al d
rational. Centenaries are being prepos-
ration Of the birth of any but OF supeyna-
tural beings is illogical from the point of
view of sound sociology.
It is obvious that IL we celebrate only
the death. but never the birth. of our
great men, we at once strike off One-half
Of these occasions. But we should strike
of many more. If we wait till a hun
bred years have passed since our great
man went from US. we should fnd
sometimes that posterity would not judge
the occasion quite SO memorable. Two
thirds of these centenaries would answer
themselves. as Napoleon said his letters
did when he locked them In his cabinet
for a month. They might have local or
special, but not national commemoration.
BY all means let Little Pedlington and
Little Bethel glorify their former mayor
or pastor IL his memory keeps green 100
years after his decease. But the nation
would not be reused into enthusiasm by
orations and dunned with subscription
lists week after week.

tree and jamming the cat. In the mean
time his son had come to his assistance.

At the first opportunity he ssot Mrs.
