PRESERVE FOES’ HEADS SOUTH AMERICAN TRIBE THAT EMBALMS THE TROPHIES. Method Employed Reduces the Grisly Relics to the Size of a Billiard Ball With Changing or Mutilating Features. The little-known Indian tribes that inhabit the more distant provinces of the South American republic of Ecuador, in almost entire independence, have a strange custom of preparing the heads of their vanquished enemies in a manner which reduces them to i extremely small dimensions, without 1 changing or mutilating the features. , For many years a war of extermination has been going on between the i various tribes. Ambushes and night attacks are of frequent occurrence, and the parties often march dozens of leagues to surprise their enemies. The head of the vanquished chief Is cut off and becomes the most esteemed booty of the victorious leader. It is then, in due time, desiccated and reduced by the latter by means of a process, the secret of which has so far been jealously guarded. As far as is mown. the,skull, jawbones and fleshy ■ parts are entirely removed without the ikin of the head and face suffering any iamage, and the only trace of the ; operation is a small Incision in the ; aape of the neck which is afterward tewn together again. I After removal of the bony and softer tarts of the skull the skin Is filled with Slot stones and a vegetable concoction. I the secret of which, as well as that of i :he process, is carefully guarded. This procedure is continued until the head Is shrunk to the dimension of a goodsized billiard ball and has become 1 is dry and tough as sole leather. It is remarkable that during the process neither the natural luster of the hair nor its quantity Is diminished, that eyebrows and lashes remain intact, and that even the grain of the skin with the fine hairs are plainly I distinguishable after the preparation is completed. The process lasts about one year, tad the head during that time hangs In smoke, for which purpose a stout string is drawn through the upner part of it. The lips are sewed together in ■ order to prevent the dead enemy from speaking and eating, and the long threads by which it is done remain attached and hanging from the mouth. , The trophy, which by the reduction has lost its ghastliness, is kept in a - niche in the hut of the chief, stuck on the end of a spear. During the three years succeeding the killing, feasts. , lasting three days, are held on the ani nlversaries of the victory, during i which the shrunken head is exhibited. I After three years the victor may disI pose of his trophy in any way he sees fit, but this is rarely done, as the head ! forms a war trophy of the highest honor. Case of Poetic Justice. That was a case of poetic justice when a jury of women in San Francisco were called upon to pass on the fit of a man's Clothes. A certain tailor in that western city sued a customer for money due for clothes. The customer pleaded that the suits did not fit and asked for a jury of women to decide the important point. The 12 good women and true, who from their own experience were no doubt eminently qualified to pass on the lit of clothes, found for the defendant. It must have afforded them infinite satisfaction to know that, after all the I sarcasm with which their husbands J treated their own troubles with dress i makers, their exasperating experiences 1 should in the end be drawn upon to render a lawful judgment on clothes worn by men. All the fun poked at women and their dressmakers in San Francisco and all the jokes collateral to that, engaging theme have been re- ! called. Book Don’ts. Good books are treasures, and they should be handled with the greatest of care by everyone Here are a few rules that should be observed: Never drop a book upon the floor. Never turn leaves with the thumb. Never lean or rest upon an open book. Never turn down the corners of leaves. Never touch a book with soiled or damp hands. Always place a large book upon a table before opening it. Never pull a book from the shelf by the binding at the top, but by the back. Never close a book with a pencil, tablet or anything else that is bulky between the leaves. Influence of Clothes. It is said that the average man is, to a great extent, influenced by the kind of clothes which he wears, in the same way as he is affected by his environment. A well-dressed man wll) walk better, talk better and, they say, even do better work than the man who is carelessly dressed. Therefore,, the man who is neglectful of his personal appearance, is unneat, slouchy, hie clothes not pressed or carefully brush ed, his shoes unpolicbed, his linen soiled and his hat dented and covered with dust, discards one of the most potent Instruments of success. Perhaps he cannot afford to b-*y linen or suits made at the best tailors, but every man can afford io be clean and neat in his dress.
