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. SIOcKS, Bonds, Ete. Pithy Paragraphs.

Jaanita Menares, the companion of the Anderson girl, has also been held by the jury partly responsible for the Jatter’s death, The warrant for the arrest of Wm Dedman and Miss Menares were issued last night and both are now in the ous. todgs of the Sheriff, Sheriff Walker today made another investigation of the Menares premise. 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. (To be continued.)
