fl UNTS HUMAN SKULLS
Peculiar Hobby Which Occupies
Leisure Time of a Texan.
—
IIn» Vlalteil Many Lands and Onaa«
tries In Search of the Odd Carles
and He Has an Interest
ing Collection,
The following advertisement appeared
in the newspapers of St Joseph, Mo., re
cently:
"Wanted—Human skulls! must be la
good condition; will pay liberally tor
fine specimens. Apply Hotel M. Charles
W. Jenkins.”
Jenkins was a temporary resident of
St Joseph, where he has considerable
realty interests, but his real home Is In
Corpus Christl, Tex. He has probably
the oddest fad of any collector of curios
who has ever been a resident of that city.
Mr. Jenkins is very anxious to increase
his collection of skulls, and In the pos
session of medical students, physicians
and colleges of St. Joseph art specimens
taken from various burying grounds
that have b«en unearthed In the ex
cavations for buildings on sites that
hundreds of years ago were repositories
for the dead of the ancient red man.
T have now In my possession 341
perfect specimens of human skulls,” says
Mr. Jenkins. ‘They represent the hu
man of many ages, and I find them an
Interesting study Indeed. How did I
come to Indulge In such a strange fad!
Well, In my youth I made a study el
anatomy, and became Intensely Inter
ested In the construction of the human
frame. I gradually acquired a taste for
this form of bric-a-brac.
"I got my real start as a collector of
skulls In 1887. During exoavationa la
St. Joseph on property In the posaessloa
of my father several specimens of an
ancient race were exhumed, and
straightway xouna a resting piace upon
a shelf in a cabinet In my borne. I ▼to
tted the former home of the mound
builder In Colorado and New Mexico,
where oifher specimens of the ancient
Inhabitants were discovered. They dif
fer materially from the skulls found !n
gt. Joseph. Then I visited Jhe hbly land
!n search of specimens. From there I
drifted to the lande of the Ptolemies of
Egypt. Here iome valuable acquisi
tions were made. I have tramped over
the Pampas of South America, the moun
tains of Peru and Chill, and even pene
trated into the wildernesses of the Ams
ion, where, in deposits 6t earth and
•tone, I have brought to light perfect
apecimens of human skulls, represent
ing periods which history does not
chronicle.
"In my experiments I have found that
some skulls take on a very beautiful
polish, and I must say that, under the
hand of a skilled artisan, they are made
magnificent These specimens occupy a
cabinet by themselves. I have a number
of skulls taken from the wreck of the
Galveston storm. I also have specimens
from other disasters On this and other
continents. Five victims of the Mont
Pelee disaster are represented in my
collection. This business of collecting
ikulls is a great aid in the study and re
tention of Important facts in history. I
have In my possession the skulls of men
at times prominent In the history of
this nation. How I came to have them
I do not care to say. However, money
to a means of gratifying the tastes of
anyone who cares to make a collection
of this kind. Because I have acquired a
liking for this work, I spend much time
luring the winter months wandering
about between rows of grinning head*
phlllsophizing, after the fashion of the
grave digger in Hamlet, upon the brev
ity of human life.”

Victim* by Lot.
Boise, Idaho, nas a fully organised
suicide club. That it is ready for busi
aesa and has already transacted con
siderable business is shown by the fact
that at least three of Its members have
‘shuffled off" by the suicide route with
tn a period of as many months.
The fact of the existence of the organ
isation became known to the police In
an Investigation Into the death of Graoe
Ashton, its latest victim. She died from
morphine poisoning on a third attempt
at suicide, both of her previous attempts
having been frustrated through season
able discovery by friends.
Another young woman friend of Miss
Aahton attempted suicide by taking poi
son, but recovered, and It was through
hsr that the existence of the club was
made known. The elub is regularly or
ganized with a strong membership—all
young women—and holds meetings at
regular Intervals. It transpires that at
each meeting a new victim Is chosen by
lot, who Is to “pass off” before the time
tor the next meeting by on's of the Usual
methods adopted in such cases, the par
ticular mode being optional with the can
didate.
Philippine Positions Hot Wanted.
Positions in the Philippines seem to
go begging. Several months ago Col.
Edwards, chief of the Insular bureau, i
ealled upon the civil service commis- I
sion to certify candidates for 150 j
teachers' positions paying from $2,000
to $900 -per annum. There were few j
applicants, fewer took the examina
tion, and only 42 were found eligible
for appointment. Another examina
tion will, therefore, be held early la
October. The Insular bureau will not
permit women to take the examina
tion for these positions, and the du
ties or pay of pedagogue do not seen
to appeal to the young mem of the
oountry.

THE WOMANLY WOMAN.
Scatleneu Sat Rcto*««at Are the

Efaeatlom.
The big American banquet hall ot
the Manhattan hotel was crowded
with members of the Emma Willard
association and their friends on the
occasion of the thirteenth annual ban*
I quet of the organization. Among the
| speakers were Chancellor MacCracken,
! Bishop Scarborough, of New Jersey,
and Miss Spence, reports the New
York Tribune, of recent date. "Hun
! dreds of young men and women," said
M.ss Spence, “who have received their
college degrees ate not really edu
cated. They are thoroughly instruct*
ed, and perhaps amply equipped from
a technical standpoint But education
means so much more than this. It
means individual development, cul
ture, Character. In every walk in life,
to accomplish eur purpose, we must
know clearly at the start what we
mean to do. If colleges and Schools
would really succeed in turning out
educated men and women in the high
est sense of the word, they must first
define that term. Is It to stand (or
nothing more than instruction in facta
or other people’s ideas? Or is it to
Include soul culture, life broadening
and true development and efficiency!
To my mind mothers are largely re*
sponsible for a child’s (especially a
daughter’s) aimless life. The sole de
sire of, alas! so many, Is that their
children shall have a good time while
they're young. And this Is right
enough, but they should remember
that the good time of the butterfly is
not necessarily the good time of the
girl, and that the true good time and
growth of character are not lncompat
lble.
"True womanliness should be one of
the chief elements of a young worn
of womanhood are hardness and
coarseness, dearth of gentleness and
any guise of selfishness. A virtue that
should be earnestly cultivated by the
woman of to-day is a greater sincer
ity In the manners and customs of
society. This is the contribution all
true women should make to the so
ciety of their time. Society needs gen
tle women in the true sense of thai
word. Only that education is worth
while which stands for service to the
world—in some form, material or im
material, and the latter is often the
more real of the two. In fact, the
ideal, whatever it be, is the real—
an oft said saying, but one as often
forgotten in the details of daily life.
"It Is the privilege and no less the
duty of every one who aspires to be
called an educator to ever hold up this
vision of the ideal, ever ‘follow the
gleam’—live the great revelation In
the details of daily life.” . ,
AN UNLUCKY DEAL.
Illustrating the Mistake ef u Maa
Who Tries to Help Around
the House.
When a married man gets out of hli
irbit, or off his half of the domestic
jarpet, so to speak, the consequence*
tre always more or less disastrous to
him, says the Detroit Free Press.
“We’ve just moved," said an unhap
py-looking man in a little neighbor
hood crowd of men who were buying
tbeir evening cigars at a corner to
bacco shop. "Or, rather, we are h&’f
moved. Half our household truck ba»
gone over to the new place, and b&lv
is still with us. Then I sold a lot, t«x\
and got myself in aWful hot water,
tou know how It Is Whfen a tntn starts
out in his oWn house to do things
without asking bis Wife."
"Oh, yes; We k’h'dW," echoed all the
others. .
“In our stable attic,” the Man con
tinued, “We btd t lot of old ituii
stored. I’Ve taftrd My Wiff lay t dozen
times that We mutt look It over and
sell a good deal of It the heart time we
moved To-day she Was over to th«
other house, and as I was kind of stand
ing round, not knowing where to take
hold next, along came a Junk man
through the alley. I hailed' him and
took him up In the stable attic; there
r him on olH tflhU an nlH, hiwft
chair, a battered old crib and a car
pet He gave me six dollars for the lot
I fourth a box of old battered brass trays,
plaques and picture frames after he was
gone, and peddled those oft at a nickel
apiece to some neighborhood children
who were tagging me around all day,
“Of course, a man never really knows
what he has 6oId until his wife tells
him; and to-morrow I'm to chase all |
day after that junk man. I’ve sold our (
beat parlor carpet, taken up when sum- j
mer came In, my wife’s own highly
treasured Infant's high chair and a
crib which was also her mother’s, and
a real mahogany table she had stored
away to have done over. She herself ,
had paid nine dollars for the old table
and was glad to get It at that Old t*
ties are getting scarce, she says.” ,
“How about the brass objects?” some ,
one asked.
"Oh, I’ve got to go around and buy ,
those back, too," the man replied, sad- ,
ly. “They were high-art beaten brass |
nondescripts which my wife made her- ,

<r Away.
A generation ago to be an ideal heuss*
keeper waa the chief ambition ef alu.oeg
every woman. No girl desired a fairer
Sate than to be placed at the hea4 of a
household with a good and loving hue
hand to supply all her wants and make 1
h«r the mistress and the queen of his
heart and his home. In moet cases, says
lbs Peoria Herald Transcript, ths girl
who started housekeeping had more or
less experience In theart under the tuition
•f her mother. She loved to decorate and
beautify the house which wae to be her
home during the rest of her earthly pil
grimage. She loved to create delicacies
tor Her husband and her children, and,
disguise It ns we may, much of the af
fection she received Was due entirely ts
her skill as a homemaker. When he*
ihlldren grew up around net this kind
ihd sympathetic mother and the pantry !
were the chief attractions In their world. j
As they grew older the ties only grew ths
stronger. When they acquired families
at their own ths old homestead, with
Its abundance of good things, still had
attractions tor them. The kind old
mother waa still their best friend. She
knew all the difficulties they had to en
counter in starting homes of their own,
and her advice and sympathy were
worth more to them than gold. The
grandchildren came to venerate her as a
sort of venerable goddess, and when
she finally Went away from the home 1
circle she left a vacancy which could
never be filled.
But we are assured with’every symp
tom of rejoicing that these conditions
are passing; that women have besa
emancipated; that In the future they are
to be the rival, Instead of the helpmate,
of man, and that they must combine ta
enforce tbelr just demands against the
hostility Of the male sex. Thle Is non
sense pure and simple. It may be true
that there are more mannish women li
inia generation man mere were in tna
last It !• unfortunately true that a
larger proportion of the female popular*
:lon has been forced to be self-support*
Ing, but It la not true that women enjoy
the so-called "liberty” which goes with
tolling for a living.
The home Instinct is too deeply
planted In the heart of women to be re«
moved by the effects of a generation ad
club work. It will never be removed. A
few women may go aftar strange gods,
but the natural, wholesome girl will still
