'
CHICAGO MAN'S HEAD BIGGEST.
How the Sizes Vary in Different Sec
tions of the United States.
A hatter had Just finished selling a
hat to an Irishman.
"The Irish,” he said, “have heads
of a graceful shape; long and oval,
and very large. The American has a
head shaped very much like the Irish
man’s only it is smaller and slightly
rounder.
"The German has a square head,
flat on top and very wide between
the ears. A German's hat always
looks too big for him. It looks so be
cause it is so. In order that it may
encompass the head's great breadth
it must be bought a little too loose in
its other dimensions. Some Germans,
who are particular, have their hats
made to order on this account.
"I sell hats all over the Unted
States, and I find that heads run big
ger West than anywhere else. The
Chicago man has the biggest head in
America. The Southerner has the
smallest. We Easterners—Philadel
phians, New Yorkers and Bostonians
—all have heads about the same size.
That size is on the average 7, The
Westerner’s size is 714. The South
erner’s is 6—Philadelphia Record.
GREAT POWER OF TO-DAY.
Symbol Means as Much, Though Not
Waving Over Armed Men.
"I never see the letters S. P. Q. R."
observed the professor of history
thoughtfully, “without feeling a little
thrill of what they once meant to the
world. Wherever they were borne
over the eagles of the Roman legions
the people recoginized their masters
and paid tribute. There is no em
blem of absolute control in the world
to-day corresponding to it.”
Just then one of the big oil tank
Wagons, bearing on its sides the fa
miliar legend, “Standard Oil Com
pany,” came around the corner, at
the sight of which the good professor
looked as if he would like to modify
his last statement.
Search for Wrecks In Lake Huron.
One of the most thoroughly organ
ized hunts for lost treasure ever at
tempted on the great lakes is to be
made on Lake Huron, where the Mil
waukee Wrecking Company is pre
paring to search for the hulks of ves
sels. Represetatives of the company
have chartered the tug Phoenix of
Oscoda, and, with another vessel to
aid her, will seek wealth among the
wrecks dotting the lake bottom six
or seven miles off the shore. One of
the most valuable cargoes is one of
copper lost in the early days of lake
navigation. Another is of steel in
gots, and still another is a cargo of
whisky, lost in a schooner bound for
Mackinaw many years ago. The Mil
waukee concern secured the copper
cargo of the steamer Pewabic, off
Alpena, after it had been in the
water nearly forty years. — Chicago

Fond of Milk.
Bishop Coleman, of Delaware, takes
a long walking trip every summer.
Usually he goes alone, but on one
occasion several gentlemen accom
pained him. The party toured the
White Mountains. On an August af
ternoon they stopped, very warm and
thirsty, at a farmhouse and bought
several quarts of milk. Even now,
though, they were unsatified, so the
farmer’s wife fetched from the spring
house no less than three gallons of
milk in a pail. Setting this before
them, she said: “One would think,
gentlemen, that you had never been
weaned.”—Detroit News-Tribune.
Puts Comfort Before Looks.
Secretary of War Root is a firm be
liever in the idea that a soldier should
look the soldier when engaged in mili
tary work, but he also realizes that in
very hot weather some measure of
smart appearance must give way to
comfort, so he has practically said:
“Bother your uniforms; dress as you
please.” Indeed, he "fias set the ex
ample for his burean chiefs at the war
department by stripping off coat and
waistcoat and making himself as
nearly comfortable as possible in a
becoming colored shirt waist.
Probably Knew the Widow.
Visits of consolation are not by any
means pleasant, and there is no class
of men in the world who know it
better than ministers of the gospel.
They try to be comforting, but it is
not always they say just the right
thing. “Did the minister say some
thing comforting?” asked the neigh
bor of a West Philadelphia widow re
cently bereaved. “Indeed, he did
not,” was the quick reply. “He said
my husband was better off.”

Brilliant Censor.
The Turkish censor is a man of
great breadth of mind and intelli
gence. He recently edited the Bible
carefully before it was allowed to be
used much in Turkey, and he has just
suppressed a book on chemistry be
cause it contained the awful symbol
H20. He said that it was highly rev
olutionary and that beyond a doubt
H20 was the cipher for “Hamid II is
naught.”
Ostentation.
“You say that man’s relations won’t
speak to him?” said the surveyor who
had stopped at the log cabin. “Yes.
An’ it serves him right. Jes’ as soon
as he come into a little property he
bought hisself a glass eye an’ a set o’
false teeth, an’ his kin’ reckoned it
was mighty ill-mannered to come
around puttin’ on style an’ wearin’ all
that jewelry.” ■
Would Kill Sparrows.
The London board of agriculture

from 75 to 80 per cent of the food of
the adult birds throughout the year

gregate total taken when the spar
rows are unchecked is very large.
