The Size of Your Hat.
OW large is athought ? Did you ever see a thought
that could be contained in a 7% head but not ina 6%
one? Does the excellence of a man’s judgment depend
on the size of his hat? If one man has a large head are his
conclusions to be accepted on sight at face value, while the
opinions of another with a small head are for the converse
reason rejected ?
It is worth while thinking about the relations, if any exists, betweet the size of the hat and the quality of the mind.
Some men are offensively cocksure and self-confident because
hey have large heads, Others are unduly sky, retiring,
eartul of their own judgment and lacking in self-reliance be%ause their heads happen to be small.
The nervous system, which includes the brain, is not
analogous to the muscular. A thought is not a weight
which it is necessary to have a large brain in order to lift.
Some of the biggest heads have been useless; some of the
tiniest have performed the most astonishing mental labor.
The largest brain ever weighed belonged to an lunatic.
Probably he used to rave in his cell about the powers of His
mind.
The next largest was the brain of Cuvier. Cuvier was
a naturalist. He collected a great amount of data on zoology,
and his classifications were so comprehensive aud sound that
he was called the founder of comparative anatomy. He was
a learned man; he could accumulate facts about nature at a
remarkable rate. Yet the great induction from the facts he
collected, the mighty revolutionizing truth that-was staring
: auaey 5,
him in the face every minute of his active life, the theory of!
evolution, Cuvier could not see and would not admit when it
was pointed out by others. The weight of, his authority
probably held back evolutionary speculation and ietarded
the march of truth for a quarter of a century, and every fact
he collected convicted him of inefficiency to do the highest
form~ of brain ~work-—the building ef theory.though he used his big brain for a pin cushion, and stuck it
full of facts. whose great significance he failed to grasp.
Giants have large heads, which seldom bring forth anything of value.
On the other hand, Dante, one of the world’s greatest
four poets, had small cranial capacity. So had Gambetta.
Descartes probably produced the greatest evolution in
the realms of pure thought the world ever knew. He is
called the father of modern philosopy. His head was so
small that, in the language of alienists, he is classified as
“‘submicrocephalic.”’
A man who really prided ‘himself on the size of his head
would probably, if he knew Descartes, allude to him asa
““‘pin-head.” Yet when you try to grasp Descartes’ fundamental proposition, you are apt to find it a globe so vast that
you can get no grib on it.
It will not due to undervalue even the literal ‘“‘pin-head.”
What is the most intelligent organism next to man? The
authropoid ape? No. Well, the elephant, with his low, retreating forehead, and lacking of facial angle-(his face and
and the part of the head corresponding to the top of ours, are
almost continuous) is a very intelligent creature. But the
one that probably ranks next to man in intellectuallity is the
tiny garden aunt. He keeps cattle, rules slaves and finds
his way tothe jam by mental processes that bewilder the
brightest housekeeper.
Don’t be arrogant if the circumference of your craninm
is large. Don’t worry if it is small. The size of your hat
has nothing to do with what is in it.

on Coyote street and succeeded in
finding the cup’and spoon which had
evidently been used to prepare the
. deadly potion and afterwards thrown
away. These were found near the edge
of the ravine or creek which runs
through the lot. A number of pieces
of a broken glass vial or bottle were
also discovered and were put together,
the whole making a small bottle similar in design and shape to the one
which was prodaced as evidence yesterday at the Ooroner’s inquest.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed
on Sheriff Walkerand Deputy Waters
forthe prompt and efficient work on
the case whith théy performed. It
was principally through their strennous efforts that most~ of the -importaut testimony and facts brought out
a‘ tbe Coroner’s inquest was secured.
Nevada county hae reason to feel proud
of the work of such painstaking officials.
Mrs. Anderson, the mother of the
deceased girl, and her other daughters
are heartbroken over their bereavement and the sad and untimely fate
which has befallen them. Much sympathy is expressed by the public for
the afflicted family who has had this
great trouble cast in their lot and who
must silently beara heavy burden of
grief.
No time has been set for the funeral of the deceased.
Second Night of
Revival Servlees
Revivals will be continued in the M.
E, Obarch every evening of thie week,
except Saturday, beginning at 7:80 p.
m. All are cordially invited.
“The normal way for the church to
grow,” some persons say, ‘‘is not by
Revivals—that is spasmodically—but
steadily and all the time.”
The only objection to such a theory,
perhaps, is that it will not work, human conditions and nature being what
they are. Ia 1863 in New England 188
charches undertook to grow without
Revivel meetings. The same year
twenty-eigbt charches of the same association held Revival meetings.
What wasthe result? At the end of
tbe year the 183 churches reported a
net logs of 851 membere; the twenty. eight churches a net gain of 787 mem. bers. Had all the churches of that association engaged as earnestly in Re‘vival work as those twenty eight
churches, is there any reason to doubt
‘but that they would have been equally
successfal? In that case, inetead of
436, the net gain of members of these
New England churches would have
. been 29,000.
. Many exper'ments have been tried
by Protestant charches to proeper
without Revivals and with uniformly
disastrous re3ultse. Is it not just pos. sible that the great Protestant churches
after baving studiéd and experimented
for years, ought to know what is the
moet effective way for them to reach
and save mien. Today, as ever, the
great and successful churches ere
those which are the most strongly
evangelistic—that is, those that believe in and employ Revival methods.
