LONG HEAD Is BUSINESS ONE
Shape More important, This Writer
Says, Than Size-Some Noted
Examples.

London.-A writer in an Indian pa
per states that heads have changed
remarkably during the last quarter of
a century, owing to the advancement
of education, which is materially af-
fecting business men and women by
developing the mental powers. The
person who will hold the reins of
command in the future will be the
long headed individual, who is fast
surprising his wide headed brother.
The shape Of the head is of greater
importance than its size, and the best
literary type of head varies from % to
2312 inches, but up to 24% inches
may be found men of powerful in
%tellects. Heads that succeed in bust
ness and in manufacture and mech
anism are usually large, wide about
the ears and forward, with a broad,
though not always a high forehead.
Heads that succeed in educational,
literary, scientific, analytical and ar
t1stic pursuits are generally long, pro-
~portionately narrow and high, with a
good development forward of the
ears. Sir Thomas Upton, H. Gordon
Selfridge and Sir Joseph Lyons are
among the men who possess heads
which may be accounted somewhat
ideal types of the class of business
men who will lead in the future.

NOT A TASK TO BE ENvlED
Serving on English Juries Some Cen.
turtles Ago Had Many and
Varied Disadvantages.

Not always enviable was the lot oil
the old time juryman. For there was
always the prospect of trouble if the
verdict did not crafty the higher pow
ers. Thus the failure of a jury to con.
Wet Sir Nicholas Throckmorton made
Queen Mary ill for three days. and
she came out of her sick chamber to
fine the disobliging jury meanwhile
confined in PRISON. the sum of $4,000
a head. Elizabeth followed the same
plan, and the practice of filming Eng
lish juries did not cease until 1870,
when a fine inflicted by the notorious
Jeffreys was rescinded OF appeal.
In some old time courts of quarter
sessions" the injunction to lay their
heads together had to be carried out
by jurymen in literal fashion. When
they began to consider the verdict
they were supposed to dive beneath
the level of the jury box and remain
in that cramped position until a deci-
sion was reached.
Meanwhile, the court usher stood
near the box armed with a long wand
of willow. If any juryman ventured to
emerge above the surface before the
twelve minds were agreed, down came
the wand on the head of the offender.

RASH ON ANKLE AND FOOT

600 Schenck Ave, Brooklyn, N. Y
my trouble started by a terrible itch
ing around the ankle. My ankle and
foot were covered with a rash. The
itching caused me to scratch to such
an extent that / drew blood and the
rash became sores. My clothing irri-
tated the eczema so that l was forced
to put a bandage around my foot and
ankle. | suffered this way for nearly
three years and by that time both Of
my hands were affected. 1t was i'm
possible for me to put my hands in
water and l had to wear large canvas
gloves when doing any work.
Il sent for a sample of Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l then purchased
some Cuticura Soap and Ointment. l
continued the treatment for three
months and all symptoms and itching
had disappeared. 1t is now over n
year since Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment effected a cure and there is no
sign of any return of the eczema"

CLEVER POSTCARD CIPHER
Simple in Construction, but Will Foil
Ali Efforts of Uninitiated to
Read the Message.

Postal cards would undoubtedly Ec
in much greater demand than they
are for purposes of correspondence
but for the fact that the messages
they convey are open to all through
whose hands they may pass. Yet this
objection is easily overcome. There
are some beautifully simple ciphers
that are almost impossible for anyone
not in the secret to read. Only by
luck, for instance, can ever the ex-
pert find the key to a short message
written in the ''trellis" or grill CT
pher. 1t is extremely simple and
thousands of people use it to battle
folks who take an interest in the con-
tents of postcards. To use it, all you
have to do is to cut a few oblong
holes in a blank postcard, place 1t
over the postcard you mean to write
on, and write your message in the
holes. Then take the upper card of
and write some natural reading SEN
fences round the cipher words. Any
inquisitive person reading the card
when it reaches your correspondents
house will find a message of no inter
est whatever. Only your correspond
ent himself, or herself, can read the
real message, and that by placing on
the card a blank caro- cut out tx
actly the same way as your own.

Well Named.

The late Stephen Dudley Field. the
father of the trolley car and the stock
ticker" said a Stockbridge man, was
a modest soul. He imputed some or
his best inventions to blind and ignor-
ant bungling.
AT a dinner, in acknowledgment Of
a high-iown compliment, he once de-
clared that, if he often hit on the
truth, he hit on it as accidentally al
most as Mrs. Malaprop.
Mrs. Malaprop, he explained, was
telling a friend how, at Bath Beach.

HAVE YET TO PROVE WORTH
Commanding Generals of Great Euro
pean Powers Infested Under Act
ual Conditions of War.

"a strong threat from the great
powers" in the opinion of more than
one optimistic British
would effectively establish peace and
order in the Balkans. Such a threat
has been made more than once, and
as often set at naught by the little
states that have plunged southeast
Europe in war. AS a matter of fact.
Bulgaria, which now seeks the inter
vention of the powers, ignored their
representations many times since the
beginning of hostilities against Tur-
key, and quite recently one of her
statesmen boosted that she has a larg-
all the powers combined.
And the boast was perfectly true.
England has some that went through
the experience of the Boer campaign,
but only a few of these returned with
enhanced regulations. In fact. Brit
ish generalship in the South African
war was a series of blunders until
Lord Roberts appeared on the scene,
and even he has no very remarkable
feat to his credit. In the R~usso-Jap-
anese war the Russians were o~utgener-
aled all along the line, and not one
acquired a 1.-THE of the credit which
the world has given to General Nogi.
For a lifetime almost Germany and
Austria have not mustered their
forces in war, and in the recent cam
paign of Italy in Tripoli incompetence
more than good generalship was the
feature, as it previously was in the dis
astrous campaign in Abysinia. France
has some generals who came out of
the Morocco campaign with credit, but
their fame is by no means worldwide.
Napoleon's query: You have the
men, but have you the man." is one
which none of the great powers of
Europe could answer with confidence
today.

ARCHIVES IN GREAT DANGER
City, State and Even National Docu-
ments of Value Receive Little or
No Care Today.

lmpelled by a spirit of thrift, the
town clerk Of an old New England
community sold as waste paper the
ancient books that held the records of
births, deaths, marriages and town
meetings. He sold also various barrels
of old letters, documents and accounts.
To him they were merely junk. When
the other town officers discovered the
loss, the mischief had already been
done, and could not be undone.
Many of the states manifest toward
their public archives an Indifference
not unlike that of the old town clerk,
Even the burning of state capitols CON
tanning records Of great value has
failed to arouse some of the states to
a perception of the need for greater
safety.
But the worst offender OF all, and
the one for whom there is the least
excuse, is the national government. A
recent investigation in Washington
disclosed the fact that department and
bureau records are scattered all over
the city, in wooden warehouses, dis
used theaters and abandoned car
barns, as well as IL moldy Easements
and the dusty attirs OF government
buildings.
1t is not the fault of department
and bureau officials, for their offices
and vaults are overlooking, and the
accumulated documents must be
stored somewhere. 1t is the fault of
congress in not providing a suitable
building, where the public documents
would be safe from fire, dampness,
vandalism and the loss thai comes
from frequent transfers and improp-
er methods of storage.-Magazine of
American History.

Special Coat for Eroineers-

"Tailors finally have c~ondescended
to notice the engineer and they have
gone to the trouble to design a coat
for his special benefit" says the En-
%gineering News. They haven't tack
led the trousers as yet" the writer
continues, "or, perhaps, we are to
tacitly assume that the engineer, be-
ing addicted to o~veralls, is not deserv-
ing of trousers-at least not specially
designed professional pants,
The originators of the new coat
for engineers state that it is made
either out of Duxbak,' which is a wa
~ter-prooted material, or 'Kamp-it,'
which isn't.
The advantages Of the various
flaps and pockets are apparent to the
experienced surveyor. Inside pockets
are provided for pipes, tobacco, etc,
on both sides of the coat, and on the
right side is a small inside pocket de-
signed for matches"

the pioneers. The soil is sandy, with
a few low hills and fresh water ponds,
and there were not many trees.
From 100 to the War of the Rev
olution Nantucket was famous as a
whaling port. For a time it held first
rank and in 1926 shore whaling
reached its highest mark of Sc whales
having been taken that year. Some
years later whaling fleets were sent
out to distant points off N%ewfound-
land, the West Indies, Cape Verde is
lands, and even to Brazil, and the
business was one of large gain de-
spite the danger from French and
Spanish privateers. In 1775 the Nan
tucket feet numbered $50, and the
population then was nearly 5000, and
all save a meager ten per cent. Of
them were Quakers. By 1885 the fleet
had been shattered, 1874 ships having
been destroyed or captured during the
War of the Revolution.

TO BLOW COAL THROUGH TUBE
London Borough Council Has Scheme
to Supply Factory With
Its Fuel.

LCndon.-Hammersmith Borough
council, which has a municipal cleo
tricity undertaking and has TO arrange
for the storage and delivery of large
quantities of coal, reports in favor of
a scheme to bring the coal from the
wharf to the electricity works by
blowing it through a pipe. To enable
the coal to pass through the pipe
water would also have to be blown
through and the report declares that
the mixture of coal and water could
be forced through at a velocity of
about sever feet per second, about
five miles an hour.
Upon delivery at the electricity
works the coal would be allowed to
settle down in the tanks, when the
surplus water would be drawn off
and returned to the river. The cost
of the scheme is estimated at $50, 900.

BEARS GROWLS CITY CURFEW
Scares Salisbury, Conn.,, and
Few Persons Go Out After Dark
in Town.

Winsted, Conn.-Cornelius Barry
saw a large black bear sleeping beside
a road near Salisbury. Con didn't
bother to awake bruin to ask if he
was the same black bear that has
been soaring Winsted by his calls in
the last four nights. No, Con fed
back to the village to give the alarm.
A dozen men got rifles and under
the leadership of that mighty Nimrod,
Charles Miles, started out to lay bruin
low. The posse found plenty of tracks
but no bear and returned home dis
comfited.
The bear has enforced a curfew of
his own, because many persons are so
frightened that they will not venture
from their homes after dark. .

Old Grist Mill on Seashore.

through a narrow inlet into a large
inland pond or lake. AS the tide rose
and fell, something like three feet,
this interior body of water would be
filled and emptied twice each "a hours.
A dam Vas thrown across this inlet,
leaving a narrow space for a raceway.
and in this space the large old wheel
was hung.
1t has passed through at least five
great wars. 1t has been destroyed
once by cavalry raid, and was grinding
corn when the French and Indian wars
were being waged. 1t ground corn for
Washington's army when it was be-
sieging the English army at Yorktown,
only a few miles away. In the evolu-
ton of the grist mill first came the In
dian mortar, followed by crude mill
stones OF small size propelled by hand
power; then larger ones run by horse
power. Windmills were next and then
came tidal mills, and the other water
mills, where the flow of water has
been damned. Steam has revolution
lied the milling processes, but there
is still work for the tidal mill. The
old time millers were restricted to one
sixth Of the grist for toll, in case Of
corn, and one-eighth in case of wheat
but always had fat hogs, no matter
what the legal rate of toll, and nearly
all millers became wealthy. For more
than 225 years Virginia led the whole
country in the production of both
wheat and corn. 1t may never lead
again in these crops; but it is rapidly
getting in shape to line up with the
best.

NANTUCKET ISLAND
Once Center of Tremendous

Now Figures Chiefly as Summer Re-

From Shipwreck-Seek 100000
for Erection of Hospital.

New York.-Nantucket, the little is
land that offers the last glimpse of
land to those on ships sailing from
the principal American ports and that
is the first signal welcome to incom-
ing European vessels, is making an
effort to obtain 500, 900 with which
to endow a hospital suitable to it's
needs. An appeal has been sent out
to the generous people of America,
particularly to those who have some
sort of sentimental attachment to this
picturesque dot in the wave-tossed wa
tiers of the Atlantic.
Once the center of a tremendous in
dustry based on the catching of whales
Nantucket now figures chiefly as a
community engaged for a brief season
each year in catching summer board
ers, but it knows no closed season
for the rescue of persons on ships
wrecked in the troubled waters out
side its haven. There have been ter
rible wrecks recorded as happening
in the vicinity and daring work by
life savers since the first hardy pio-
neers settled on the island two and a
half centuries ago.
Isle de Nantochyte you will find the
spelling on an outline map of early
days. The island is almost crescent
shaped, about Is miles long and about
W and a half miles wide, and has
d coast line of so miles. 1t belongs
to Massachusetts, but is separated
from Cape Cod penincula by % miles
OF water. The village of Nantucket
is on the north shore Of the island,
almost midway east and west, but
it was not always there. The orig
inal site was on the west end of the
island at a point now known as Mad
dequet harbor. In 1872 the settlers
moved to the present site, which then
was called Wescoe. The next year,
by order of Governor Francis Love
lace. it was named S%herburne, and it
was not until 1895 that the present
name was adopted by the village.

Ltaa curc for Smoke EVIL.

Tn spite of the general adoption OF
smoke consuming devices, the annoy
nee from this evil in the large cities
is becoming greater every year" says
the editor of Power. He recommends
the use of cinder or spark ~aTresteIs
placed in fues. while not a panacea
for all smoke trouble" he declares,
they are effective in reducing the evil
below the level of a nuisance. They
are not complicated, their operation
usually consisting essentially of pass
ing the smoke and gases through a
water spray, after the manner of the
scrubber of a p~roducer-gas plant or
the air washers Of some ventilating
systems.
These %arresters require so mucn
