Mind and Muscle.

As the volume Of controllable mus
cular and mechanical energy at his
command has increased, man has
found It necessary to use his own
muscular energy for purposes OF tho
control thereof, and even to supple
ment it for this purpose rather than
to use 1t in the actual performance
Of the tasks themselves. Hence we
have the large number of officials IN
the armies, organized both for warlike
and peaceful purposes. In all Of these,
however, the dominating idea, so far,
has been that of increasing the
amount Of muscular and mechanical
energy controlled by one master
mind. 1t is true that many individ-
uals are employed in transmitting d.
rections, in recording operations, etc.;
but the central idea permeating every
thing is that the controlling individ-
ual is, or should be, able of himself
to initiate every movement and make
every decision relating thereto. 1t
has always been a problem Of supple
menting muscle rather than Of supple
menting mind.-Cassier's Magazine.

PRESERVE FOES HEADS
SOUTH AMERICAN TRIBE THAT
EMeALMs THE TRoPHlE9,
Method Employed Reduces tho 0rlsly
Relics to tho Size Of 4 Billiard
Dali With Changing Or
MutiIatlne Features.

The little-known Indian tribes that
lnhabit the more distant provinces Of
the South American republic of Ecxa.
dor, In almost entire independence,
have strange custom of preparing
the heads Of their vanquished enemies
In manner which reduces them to
extremely small dimensions, without
changing or mutilating the features.
For many years war of extermina,
ton has been going on between the
various tribes. Ambushes and night
attacks are Of frequent occurrence,
and the parties often march dozens OF
leagues to surprise their enemies.
The head Of the vanquished chief is
cut OF and becomes the most esteemed
booty of the victorious leader. It is
then, In due time, desiccated and re.
duced by the latter by means of a proc.
ess, the secret of which has so far
been jealousy guarded As far as is
known, the skull, jawbones and fleshy
parts are entirely removed without the
skin of the head and face suffering any
damage, and the only trace Of the
operation is a small incision in the
nape of the neck which is afterward
sewn together again.
After removal of the bony and softer
parts Of the skull the skin is filled with
hot stones and vegetable connection,
the secret of which, as we'll as that OF
the process, is carefully guarded. This
ic %h@
Is shrunk to the dimension of a good
sized billiard ball and has become
as dry and tough as sole leather.
1t Is remarkable that during the pro-
cess neither the natural luster of the
hair nor its quantity is diminished,
that eyebrows and lashes remain in
tact, and that even the grain of the
skin with the fine hairs are plainly
distinguishable after the preparation
Is completed
The process lasts about one year,
and the head during that time hangs
In smoke, for which purpose a stout
string is drawn through the upper part
of it. The lips are sewed together in
order to prevent the dead enemy from
speaking and eating, and the long
threads by which it is done remain at
tached and hanging from the mouth.
The trophy, which by the reduction
has lost its ghastliness, is kept in a
niche in the hut of the chief, stuck on
the end Of spear. During the three
years succeeding the killing, feasts,
lasting three days, are held on the an
niversaries of the victory, during
which the shrunken head is exhibited.
After three years the victor may dis
pose Of his trophy in any way he sees
it, but this is rarely done, as the head
forms q war trophy Of tho highest
honor.

WHEN THE STOMACH CALLS
Feeling Which Common Humanity
Knows az Hunger 10 Explained
Fully by the Scientist.

The answer looks easy. Any small
boy, schoolboy or other, would say.
why, hunger is Just wanting some
thing to eat and wanting it bad" But
the doctors find that it isn't so easy.
It seems, according to an e1-cathe-
dra utterance in the Journal Of tho
American Medical Association, that
emptiness of the stomach has nothing
to do with hunger. 1t is not due
to the secretion of any sort OF acid
In the stomach, nor to congestion OF
the gastric glands. Professor Cannon,
in this article in the journal aforesaid,
attributes hunger to contract1ons OF
the stomach's muscular walls. In the
doctors words: Hunger is normally
the signal that the stomach is con-
tracted for action; the unpleasantness
Of hunger leads to eating; eating
starts gastric secretion, distends the
contracted organ, initiates the move
ments of gastric digestion and abol-
kshes the sensation" Here's to the
abolition Of the sensation; may there
always be something with when 70
"start the gastric secretion!"

Case Of Poetic Justice.

That was a case of poetic justice
when jury of women in San Francis
co were called upon to pass on the
at of a mans clothes. A certain tail.
or in that western city sued custo-
mer for money due for clothes. The
customer pleaded that the suits did
not fit and asked for jury of women
to decide the important point. The
~ good women and true, who from
their own experience were no doubt
emineatly qualified to pass On the fit
of clothes, found for tho defendant.
It must have afforded them infinite
satisfaction to know that, after all the
sarcasm with which their husbands
treated their own troubles with dress
makers, their exasperating experiences
should In the end be drawn upon to
render q lawful judgment on clothes
worn BY men. All the fun poked at
women and their dressmakers in San
Francisco and all the Jokes collateral
to that engaging theme lave been re-

Influence Of Clothes.

It is said that the average man is,
to q great extent, Influenced by the
kind Of clothes which he wears, in the
same way as he is affected by his en-.
vironment. A welldressed man will
walk better. talk better and, they say.
even do better work than the man who
u oarelessly dressed. Therefore,. the
man who 10 neglectful Of his personal
appearance, is unneat, slouchy, his
clothes not pressed or carefully brush.
ed, his shoes unpublished, his linen
soiled and his hat dented and covered
with dust, discards one of the most
potent instruments of success. Per
haps he cannot afford to buy linen
or suits made at the best tailors, but
every man can afford to be clean and
neat In his dress.

Cooks Accidental Discovery.

One of the best ways OF cooking po-
tatoes was accidentally discovered
through the unpunctuality of train.
When the line from Paris to st. Ger
main was opened tho first train car
fied an official party for whom lunch
was ordered.
The meal was fixed for noon, and
shortly before that hour the potatoes
were put on to fry, A few minutes
efterward message came that tho
train would probably be delayed for
an hour, so the potatoes were taken
OF the fire, but left in the pan. Then
came a second message. Train just
arriving" and the potatoes were hur>
riedly put back to fry again.
When the party sat down to lunch
the potatoes were brought on with tho
steak. Each chip was then found to
Be blown out like a small, crisp, gold
en- balloon, to the delight Of the
guests. The cook, without knowing 1t,
had invented pommes de terre sour
ices.

Care Of the Eyee.

Boric acid must b dissolved In

ANNA ROGERS.

The angel Of death, who is no re-
spector Of persons, again visited this
community on Sunday afternoon, car
rying off with him Anna, the six
teen year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Will Rogers OF South Bend
township. Miss Anna had always
been in good health until an attack
of typhoid fever last fall Since that
time she had not been so well and
on Saturday was taken with pneu-
monia, the fever having left her heart
in a weakened condition. She was
one Of four daughters Of the Rogers
family, a graduate Of our common
schools, and one Of the brightest
young ladies' of the south side. She
was universally admired, and her loss
is keenly felt by the entire cOmmm-
ity. This IS another one OF those in
stances that cause US to marvel at
the action Of the Divine Power, but
it is not for us to question the pea-
sons, but simply to bow our heads in
humble submission. The funeral ser
vices were conducted from the NJ. E.
church on Tuesday afternoon, Rev.
COckerin officiating. A large num-
Der Of friends Of the deceased and
her family attended the funeral, and
all friends unite in extending sym
pathy.
