 Cultured and able men are still to be found on the editorial staffs of all great dailies, but the public must now understand them to be hired men, who no longer express honest judg- ment and sincere convictions, who write what they are dictated to write, and whose judgments are salaried.
 "To the subserviency of the press to special interests in no small degree is found the power and influence and prosperity of the weekly and monthly magazines. A decade ago young men trained in Journalism came to see this control of the newspapers of the coun- try.

Eiven to bow.legs and knock-knees by
Professor Francke. writing in the
Muenchener Medirinische Wochen-
,chrift, who bases his remarks upon
the examination of 1.100 pairs Of legs
taken at random.
O-legs always look like strong
limbs, while X-legs give the impress.
sion of weak members. Professor
Francke lays down the rule that II
when standing in a natural position
tho knees and ankles touch without
forcing. the subject has straight legs.
II. with the ankles touching. there is
10 much as two centimeters between
the knees. it is bow-legged. II, with the
knees touching. there be two centime-
ters between the ankles, it Is knock
kneed or X-legged.
Children born with o or straight
logs tend become X-legged while
learning to walk, but this condition
tends to disappear in men up to the
twenty-third year, or in perhaps 25
per cent. up to the thirty-eighth year.
Women. however, tend to remain
knock-kneed or X-legged throughout
life, as a result of their skirts and
their lack of exercise.
The ancient Greeks never had and
modern savages never have X-legs,
which, Professor Francke says, are
consequences Of civilization and tend
10 imply physical inferiority.

Influence Of Clothes.

1t 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-
yironment. A well-dressed man will
walk better, talk better and, they say,
even do better work than the man who
is carelessly dressed. Therefore. the
man who is 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ed, his shoes unpublished, his linen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 bis dress.

PRESERVE FOES HEADS
SOUTH AMERICAN TRIBE THAT
EMeALMS THE TROPHIES.
Method Employed Reduces the GrIsly
Relics to the Size Of a Billiard
Ball With Changing or
MutiIating Features.

The little-known Indian tribes that
inhabit the more distant provinces of
the South American republic Of Ecua-
dor, in almost entire independence,
have a 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 on 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 az is
known, the skull, jawbones and feshy
parts are entirely removed without the
skin OF the head and face suffering any
damage, and the only trace of the
operation is q 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 a vegetable connection,
the secret of which, as we'll as that of
the process, is carefully guarded. This
procedure is continued until tho head
Is shrunk to the dimension of a good
sized billiard ball and has become
as dry and tough as sole leather.
It Is remarkable that during the pro-
cess neither the natural luster Of tho
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 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 a spear. During the three
years succeeding the killing, feasts,
lasting three days, are held on the an
niversaries Of the victory, during
h iol, -, T.
After three years the victor may dis
pose of his trophy in any way he sees
fit, but this is rarely done, as the head
forms war trophy of the highest
honor.
