How Nations Differ in Heads.
From the Strand.
The study of heads reveals some
interesting facts. One is that the left
side of the head is almost always
larger than the right. due, it is said,
to the universal practise OF using the
right hand more than the left
Another curious point is that nation
ality considerably affects the shape
of the head. II would surely be an
interesting subject for a biologist to
explain why it is that the nearer the
equator a race lives the rounder their
heads become. No one needs remind
ing of the round, bullet-shaped skull
OF the negro, but the halter will as
sure us that a Frenchman's head Is
rounder than an Englshman's, and
similarly an Englishman's rounder
than q Scotsmans. The average
Scots head tapers considerably
toward the front, narrows at the tenn
pies and becomes square and promi-
nent at the forehead. German heads,
on the average, are rounder than
English, and broader at the back.
Irish heads, in general, are long, like
the Scotch. but scarcely as narrow.
The Slavonic head is narrow in
front and very broad at the back
When the recent peace conference
took place in London a few months
ago, the first thing that the delegates
of the Balkan states did on arrival
was to call on Messrs. Heath with a
demand to be immediately fitted out

Some clever fellow who at an ex-
animation was asked: what would
happen if the Atlantic ocean suddenly
rose five hundred fee?" replied: ut
would settle the Irish question"
What is the Irish question?
A little more than seven hundred
wears ago the English invaders of
Ireland began an attempted conquest,
which they are yet only in the middle
of. When the battle had ragged for
about five hundred years, England
had succeeded in quartering her sol
diers in every strong place in the land
and in imposing her laws upon the
Irish nation-but she had not con-
ouered Ireland, though she has de-
feated her many times.
Even though Cromwell, resolving to
complete the conquest in which his
predecessors failed, swept the land
with fire and sword, and made the
streams run red with blood, and sold
twenty thousand Irish rebels into
slavery in the West Indies, he, too,
failed. When Cromwell was scourg-
ing the land, he thought to drive the
Irish people into the mountain fast
nesses of Connaught, where they
might starve-his cry being, ITO hell
or Connaught!"
But as an old Connaught man said
TO me: Cromwell gave us choice of
hell or Connaught We chose Con-
naught, and left hell to himself"
Cromwell, and all or would-be COIL
querors before and after him, strove
to make ireland British by planting
their faithful British followers upon
all the fat lands. But in the course of
a couple of generations the newer
English settlers coming in had to
make bitter complaint to the English
government, that their predecessors
had become ''more Irish than the Irish
themselves"
There was a parliament in Ireland,
run for and by the nom Irish element,
and in 1882, when the available Eng
fish troops were abroad enjoying the
prolongation of the American tea
party these people. forming the Irish
volunteers. declared the independence
of Ireland's parliament. And Eng
land, having no spare guns through
which to reason with them, graciously
agreed.
Less than score of years later,
England having her troops at home
and leisure, considered that an indie
pendent parliament was, after all, a
bad thing for Ireland. So, in 1900.
Lord Castlereagh, with money, place
and title, persuaded the Anglo-Irish
members of the Anglo-I Irish parlia-
ment that if they voted away Ireland's
independent parliament it would be a
good thing-a good thing for them
selves.
That was the act of union with
England-voted not by the Irish peo-
pie, but by the foreigners in Ireland
and their descendants. From that
| day forward the English Parliament
has been running Ireland-and rob-
bing it.
The famous DIR. Johnson in his day
| advised Ireland; do not Join with
us, or we will pick your pocket. and

Wealth of Universities.
From the Indianapolis News.
For the first time since Stanford
University was founded the trustees
recently issued a financial statement.
which shows that the wealth of the
institution amounts to S24, 600. 900
This includes the original endowment
for general maintenance. the capital
increase since then and other endow-
ments and special funds, but it does
not include the value of campus
lands, buildings, equipments, etc,
since they are not revenue producers.
The income was more than 81 400, 900
last year. The largest item of ex-
pense was professors salaries. Near
ly S425, 900 was so spent, and for
taxes, SAT 900. The Stanford library
is well endowed. No less than $40.-
O00 was spent last year on new books.
The library has u fund of half a
million dollars secured from the sale
OF Mrs. Stanford's jewels.
A comparison by the New York
Sun of the above figures with reports
from other institutions for last year
shows that Stanford is second only
to Harvard in the amount of produc-
tive funds, although several univer-
stiles have a larger annual income
than has Stanford. Harvard S

orders for the withdrawal of the Ameri-

are based on the assumption that there
will be no serious trouble in that country
