The establishment of a Culling School
la I.elilirhton linn been Instrumental In
morn fully arousing public: sentiment upon
one vital question than has ever before
been amused, namely:
"THE PRACTICAL KDITOATION'
FOR WOMKN."
Appealing to your most canillit jtidg
ment, parents, have, yon educated your
ilaugliters In such a manner that tbey can
earn a Rood, lioneit living by their own ef
forts, If such a thins should become neces
sary, Tor little ilo any of us know what, is
tn store for ns? It. Is a refined accomp
lishment for any laily to be aole to look af
ter tier own clothing anil sen that. It is made
correctly anil in becoming style, anil theie
is no education that prepares any lady for
the responsibilities and duties of life equal
to kuowlng how to construct her own
clothing properly.
It. Is only the second consideration con
cerning this life's goods. The first Is -pre-pailng
our food properly and next. Is our
clothing, and this is of the highest Import
ance to all, and might mean very much to
some of our leaders. It Is an attested fact,
that the. Cutting School Is a harbinger of
.good wherever established, and the price
ill the thorough course of Instructions gly
n Is merely nominal compared with its
reat value which Is cleatly demonstiated
by the best judgmeutof some that, have
already been doing good work with It, and
we cordially welcome any one to our tn
sttuctlon Kooms to sea and Investigate for
themselves.
Space only permits us to give the names
pf a few who lake pleasure In speaking of
ts worth. -

A PERILOUS RTDE.
Along in the early forties Komo of the
best farms of today in western Ontario
were still covered with virgin forest, and
the few scattered settlements gave little
promise of ever growing into the flour
ishing towns which now dot the country.
Over the rongh roads fanners had hard"
work to get produce to market. Game
was plentiful in the dense woods, hut so
were hears, panthers nnd wolves alto
gether too plentiful at times, and very
little traveling was done after dark.
Among the first settlers of what is now
called the garden of Canada were two
cousins, named Tom Shepton and Hugh
Mallet. Ilieir farms adjoined unit tlrej-j:
were the best of friends. But it so hai
pened that they both fell in love with
pretty Mary Huston, and Tom won her.
Hugh was passionate by natnre, and he
vowed he would never speak to either of
them again.
Tom and Jlnry were married one fine
July day and went to keeping house at
once; but though the houses of the cous
ins stood not a hundred yards apart, and
tue nearest neigu Dors were miles, away,
Hugh would not look at his successful
riyal and. wife.
Everything went well with the young
couple until one evening when Mary was
taken suddenly alarmingly ill. It was
iu the latter part of January; snow
drifts blocked tlie road to the settlement
where the doctor lived; ;v blizzard had
been blowing for some days, und it was
intensely cold.
The tanns of the cousins were about
seven miles from the settlement, and the
most of the way lay through tho forest.
It meant at least two, and perhaps three,
hours of hard work for the best team to
Vend) it, and Tom dared not leave his
wife. Far fiom the necessaries, of ordi-"
nary civilized life, hardy pioneers who
lead the van of progress in the wilds
have to depend much on the good will of
pqph other.
Totn saw himself forced to nsk a favor
of Hngh, and much ns he disliked to ac
cept one from a man who would not take
a kind word from him, ha stepped into
his cousin's house and told him of his
distress.
Hugh heard him in silence, and then
went out nnd hitched his team to a cut
ter. He piled in a heap of buffalo robes
ttnd put a six shooter in his pocket.
Then, without a word, he drove off, fol
lowed by the grateful thanks of his
cousin.
Tlie, sun had set an hour ago, and the
stars were sparkling and glittering in
the aeep blue black sky, but later on the
moon would rise and light the way home.
it was bitterly cold, and the frigid
gusts of wind stung Hugh's fape like
cuts from whip lushes. He knew lie had
a risky journey before him in going to
tue settlement by nlgu,t.
Tlie winter had been a hard one, and
at fetich times wild bensts begin to hang
around the houses and to prowl about
the roads,
He kept a shnrp eye on the horses, for
when it comes to sniffing danger a horse
can give a man points.
They floundered through innumerable
drifts and over many a stump and fallen
tree, but yel) made such good time that
iu, an, hour they reached a better piece o(
road about' two miles from the settle
ment. Urging the team to. a trot, Hugh set
tled back among the robes, congratulat
ing himself on the safe and quick trip
they had made.
For a few hundred yards his medita
tions flowed along uninterrupted, but
when a certain lov growth of bushes
was reached, the horses snorted loudly
and reared back on their haunches.
Hugh was nearly thrown out by the
sudden stop.
"Get up!" ho cried.
And as he hud, no, whip, he lashed them
with a rope, halter he had in the cutter,
one end of which was tied to the seat to
keep it from being lost.
Crack I crack 1 went the rope, but the
horses would not move forward. Their
ears pointed right ahead, and, they stood
shivering with fright,
Drawing Ma revolver, Hugh peered be
yond them iu a vain attempt to discover
the source of their scared appearance.
"Go alougl" he yelled again, sm.ac.king
tlie Itues on the horses' back "ko alongl
Just then they swerved sharply, and a
great, dark body sprang out of the bushes
and landed right in the cutter.
It was a panther, and so sudden and
unexpected was its lean that Huirti had
no tone to (ire. Its great fore paws came
against his breast and arm, knocking the
revolver out of his grasp and tearing half
his clothes off. Its foul, steaming breath
poured into his face, and the great, gllS'
tening fangs were not six inches (rom Us
throat;.
Tlie horses hud bolted, and before tha
panther (.'mild do any further damage the
Violent jolting, of the, cutter throw It off
tis chest.
Hugh grabbed the only weapon at
hand the rope halter and struck wildly
at the big brute. By u lucky piniuc thfe
........ . 1 .' 1 J . . 1 m 1 r .
tneq tq btnKe again the palter tightened
around hh nec-K.
A fearful struggle began, (lathering
up the buffalo robes, Hugh sought to
protect liimelf from the wiMlv rlutob..
lug claws of the tnfni iated ptmlierand
to push It off the cutter
As the frightened hot.-es g.ill.ipi 1 along

The coinbntnntB wero throwii over ana
over, the robes were soon in tattors and
Hugh wns bleeding from a dozen wounds
and getting weiiker every minute.
The panther got his left arm in its
jaws and crunched it savagely, making
blood spurt out in streams. Tlitn Hugh,
for the first lime, saw the rope around
its neck Grasping it desperately with
his fieo hand, ho pulled oti tho noose
with all his might.
The sufroc1ing pressure caused tho
beast to let go his left arm, but in its
agony it tore pieces of flesh off his right
and threw him to tho bottom of the cutter.
With a frichtful roar it crouched over
hiin, arid its greatpaws tore at his breast.
All seemed lost, when tho runaway team
turned a sharp corner. The cutter
swung too short nnd was overturned.
Out pitched Hugh, and the panther on
lop of Him. But they did not remain to
gether n second, for while Hugh lay still,
exhausted, bruised nnd bleeding, ' the
panther was whisked off his feet and
jerked head over heels after the cutter.
The ropo was tied to the seat, as men
tioned before, mid the furious gallop of
the scared team tightened its hold round
tlie panther s neck aud cave tho lieast no
chance to regain its feet.
Choked, battered and torn, it was rolled
aud dragged and yanked after the cutter
until every bone in its body was broken.
V lien within a hundred yards of tho
village tho cutter collided with a tree
and was dashed to pieces.
the arrival of two runaway horses
alarmed tho people, and they set out to
search the road a piece. They soon
found the briJken cutter and the dead
bod- of tho-panther, and not long after
ward they met Hugh, limping along in
the miow.
His wounds were dressed, and a few
hours later the doctor reached Tom's
wife.
For a week Hugh had to stay in the
settlement, but as soon ns his wounds
would allow it he went back to his house.
Tom's wife had in the meantime wholly
recovered, and under her lovinir care
Hugh's wounds were speedily healed
not only those of his body, but also
those of his mind and the three neigh
bors have remained the best of friends
ever since.
Hugh has still the torn skin of the
panther, and entertains a high regard
tor tlie trophy of that perilous sleigh
ride. Zu Befehl in Saturday Night

severe pain in his right arm. Ou exam
ination Thiersch found that one of the
binews of the arm was displaced, and
asked the student how it happened. The
young man stated that he, with several
companions, had taken the horses out of
the carriage of the fair artiste and had
dragged it from the theatre to her hotel.
The doctor, who had no kind of sympa
thy with such doings, dryly replied:
"My good friend, in that case 1 can do
nothing for you; you will really huve to
consult a veterinary surgeon, who un

A Horse In u Forty Foot Well.
A curious accident occurred to a rider
at Westminster, N. C. While seated on
his horse at the depot, a train rolled up,
at which the horse became so frightened
that ho backed upon the rotten plank
covering of an old well, which broke aud
let both horse and rider througlu An
old rail was sticking iu the muddy bot
tom, ou which the horse was impaled.
His struggles were fearful, aud his rider,
who, itiango to say, did not ttvt unseat
ed, had a narrow escape from being
crushed to death. As it was, he was
severely hurt before being rescued. The
well was forty feet deep, aud the horse
died before hp could be pulled out.

"Chewing pickets" is the. term now in
vogue by those who express themselves
in slang as applied to young lovers who
linger long over their good nights, and
has Bupplanted the well worn one of
"holding up the front gate." A reporter
heard tho new slang for the first time
from the lips ot a younu; man whom he
met on the street, aud whose teeth were
chattering as if he was suffering from a
fit of Rgue. Wl)en asked what was tha
matter with him, the young man replied
in a shaky voice! "I've been chewing
pickets with my best girl fur an hour.
I'm nearly frozen tu death, but I hadn't

Mrs. Uillus looked at tho soiled, grimy,

suspected the genuineness of the mendi

that of 8. It. W., of Bridgeport, Conn.,
who was returning from England on an
ocean steamer. Ono night he dreamed
that Ins wife, who was then iu Bridge
port, opened the door of his stateroom,
looked hesitatingly in and then came for
ward and kissed him. Wheu he awoke
in the morning the man who occupied
the upper berth in his stateroom looked
down and said; "You're a pretty fellow
to let a woman come in here in the night
and kiss you." Pressed for nit explana
tion, lie desorilted the scene which he
had experienced.
Arrived at home, he wns asked by his
wife: "Did you receive a visit from me
on such a night? I mado you one. I was
worried because of the reported storms
that night. I dreamed 1 wentout on the
ocean and came upon a great, black
steamship. 1 went up the side and along

Ho told the driver of the team that ho

Recently tho scientists both iu Europe
and America havo been giving a good
deal of Attention to the conformation and
measurement of tho human head or cra
niometry, as they call it
The studios of Dr. Frcdorick Peterson,
the insanity expert and specialist in nerv

equally extensive. Their conclusions have
been reached by accurate measurements
and not by feeling bumps. Dr. Peterson

"In men notes! for great attainments

their heads are larger. In many criminals
the diameters nnd arcs nro below tho nor
mal average, and tliero is also great ab
normality in shape, especially in hfiredi-
tary criminals. One Ride of the head mav
be larger than thii other, the forehead
may retreat, or there may be some oilier
lack of symmetry nnd proportion. Often
the tool h, jaws and ears nro deformed.
All the higher mental faculties are loca
ted iu the frontal lobes of tho brain, and
these naturally have a dirrot proportion
to the length and breadth of the fore
head. Just back of this region nro the
muscular centers and tho centers forcuta
neous sensation.
"Directly behind (hn ears and a litllo
above nre the centers "for remembering
that which Is heard, and here nro un
doubtedly located some of tho muscular
faculties, for instance, the wonderful
memory of musical, compositions, huoh
aa was possessed by "Blind Tom." The
memory of everything seen is htored
away iu tho interior lobes of the brain;
therefore people of great perceptive
power and who remember well all their
perceptions will be found to havo a large
development on tba back of the head.
It has been noted thnt in people born
blind this part of tho head is smaller
than it should be. In contradistinction
to quack phrenology tlio perceptive
power is located here in placo of (Jail's

"The average circumference of an
adult man's skull is 20 Inchos and of
an adult woman's 10 inches. The aver
age length of the aro from-tho roof of
the nose over the top of the head to the
most prominent point on the back of the
head Is in man 13 inches and In the wo
man 18J. Tho nverago length of tho arc
from ono ear to the other over the high

inches and in a woman The aver

side to side in a Rtraight linu, is GJ inches,
and of a woman's head 6J inches. These
are only a few of tho moro important
measurements taken,

It will be seen thdt tho head of u woman
Is on an average smaller than that of a
man, just as her brain weighs several
ounces loss. While it may be taken as a
general rule that a head of largo dimen
sions Is associated with unuxual capa
city In some one or other direction, it is,
of course, not always the case. Ono can
easily ImngiiiH, or may even havo mot

PACKtNd OF THE BRAIN.
"The skull bones may ne twico as
thick as usual, or tliero may bu an un
usual amount of fluid in tho cavities of
the brain and its covei ings. Again, a
person with a rather small head may
have mora thinking centers to tho cubic
inch of brain than thcotlicrt less fat, less
water, less packing of every kind, as iu
the case of Qambetta, whoso brain was
rather small. The word packing' is an
excellent ono to use in this connection,
for it describes the condition iicrfectly.
Just as dciicnte china or glass vessels are
packed away in sawdust, hay, etc., for

"Up to the age of !M. the development
of a man's skull depends on his educa

Subsequently tho mind may develop a
great deal, but the skull will not. From
