how this fa cp of the woman of A'l-vf-r.tr up was won for t!. world of today to see. Professor His first had. his attention drawn to the subject by an interesting attempt to identify the skeleton of the fiMiious compose;, .lohann Sebastian !; ii . who was huried July .".1. 17.o, in Leipzig. In the course of time his rest'iiK place had been forgoifen. and wlien the church was rebuilt in 1 t caff ful .-eaich wa.s made for his remains. At last a skeleton was founo whic!:. according to every record an. I other evidence, was that of the great eo.upo.-er. To a.-t-p? tare the fact beor.d all chance of eiror Professor His was appointed io investigate and decide. After long deliheration hr chose th:method. He got all the iruo- portraits of Mach that could he found and vouched for ami took the skull to the famous seiilpto--. Karl Seffner. He asked him to model or tiie skull the kind of head and face that would belong to it. and the result uf the

was proved that only a face that was

modeled over a skull with regard to

exact anatomical contour could fit it To silence all ohjecttons and dem oiistrate the correctness of the pro ces to himself, as well as to the world

Professor His then began a long and

intricate m pies of experiments. He .-tmlied whole hrtac oin'. s of skulls ami measured hundreds of heads of living and dead persons. When he had completed his investigations he had exact ami ahsolute funics, snowing iust how thick the ib -h ami skin cohering i,v. ; te skull is in every part.

una iije.-p hgures he again went to

the .-culptor. and the latter modeled a r.ew head over th.e s'.:ull which was in dispute. He took pains no? to try to make it look like anything that t;e might have had in mind, hut followed the measurements mechanically. Th.e result was an absolutely marvelous likeness of l'a h. l'roi'es,,rs Koliman and Ihiechly found that the skull of the 'woman of

Personally we thought we knew all about it. As usual, we were in error. Professionally, had we been asked, and ev-n had we p.oi been, we stood reaxly to trace it back to a mystic and religious origin. Privately we had presumed to ngard it as a simple matter, over which too much fuss is made. We had ben informed that it Is pleasant, or the reverse, in direct proportion to the maestria of the party of the second part. We had gathered from novels that such harm as it possesse.s wanes with repetition, and we had plenty of hearsay evidence to thr effect that delight in it is wholly a matter of taste. We had, therefore, views of our own concerning it, but never, until this minute, did we suspect thai it was double, and not merely that, hut olfactory raid nutritive, loo. Su'h. hovvee; is the case.

History speaks of him as 'Robert' Toombs, lit was prouder thati a Montague, haughtier than a Capulet. and in the last years the persons who mentioned his middle name was in danger of de

capitation. Phis dropped name was

Alston. Toombs was a marvel on thj

hustings, and in his thirtieth year ar

lived at the zenith of political debate,

fctill wearing his full name Robert Alston Toombs. The initials, you will

see, spell rat. One day a rival candidato for the State Senate of the name

of Charles A. Thornton replied to

Toombs on the stump, and as he tlayed

the patrician alive his followers and henchmen yelled, 'That's right; go at him again. Our Cat. has got that Hat.

That Hat can't get away from our Cat.

Sic k him. Cat. Co it. Rat!' Thornton's

initials spelled at. The incident so

displeased Toombs that he immediate

ly dropped his middle name and was known henceforth as plain 'bob.' "
