An excellent illustration of the value of records has been aff.ord.ed lately re garding the question of physical degen eracy. A firm in the north of England has compared the measurements for clothing made two generations ago with those of to-day , the results going to show that chest and hip measure- inputs are now three inches on the av erage more than they were sixty years .ago. The same conclusion is reached by the experience of the ready-made clothiers. These facts , whatever may be their generality , do not quite dis pose of the question of degeneracy , i'hoy are what we should expect from Iho more abundant and Cheaper food i i'i illpooile ] , their bettor housing and unproved sanitary surroundings ; but the testimony regarding the untitness Of recruits and progressive1 lack of stamina in town , and especially manu facturing , populations cannot be disre garded. The girth of man may be in creasing , but. like a fatting hog , is not corpulency bringing clumsiness ? QUICK RESULTS. < trt \ W. .7. Hill , of Con cord , N. f1. , Justice of the Peace , says : "Doan's Kidney Pills proved a very efficient remedy in my case. I used them for disor dered kidneys and backache , from which I had experienced a great deal of trouble and pain. The kid- nev secretions were very irregular , dark colored and full of sediment. The Pills cleared it all up and I have not had an ache in my back since taking the last dose. My health generally is improved a great deal. " FOSTER-MILBURN CO. , Buffalo , N. Y.

Thero is no purdah there , and , gentle as she looks , the married woman is the head of her house. The girls , before their ears are pierced , which is equivalent to a coming out reception , are allowed to roain about the streets playing boyish games with their brothers and their friends , and afterward there are many opportunities for young men and wom en to meet at festivals , boat races and other gayeties. Marri.iires in Burma , therefore , are usually love matches , and the unmarried woman is in no hurry to change her state. Burmese women are charmingenerally slen der , dainty and demuivly coquettish. They wear gayly colored garments , which make them look like flower beds , and their hair , which is shining and smooth , is always uncovered and decked with flowers. Not Up to Dace. "Mamma , " said the pretty fluffy- haired girl. "I think I ought to go to cooking school , don't you ? " "It isn't necessary , my dear , " replied the mother , "I can teach you to cook. " "But that would never do , mamma , " protested the fair daughter , "you only know how to cook the ordinary things that people really eat. " There are plenty of acquaintances is the world , but very few real friends. J. P. Dayis. r : II2 ! I332 "You haven't gone on your vacation yet , have you ?

" "I'm dreamin' agin , " owned the gro- ceryman , with a grin. "Pinch me , Eva- Una , and wake me up. " "It would take more than pinch to do that , " said the pretty cook. "Don't fool yourself ; I'm a light sleeper , " said the groceryman. "You don't need to throw no more cold wat er on me. " "If you'd like it hot " said the cook , advancing with the dipper to tht stove. "Wouldn't that scald you ! " exclaim ed the groceryman , backing apprehen sively to the door. "Quit it now. " he added. "I'm afraid of a woman when she tries to throw things. I know yen ; wouldn't aim to hit me , but that's what I'm scared of. When are you going to take your two weeks off ? " "When they pay me wages for en joying myself , " replied the cook. "But I don't care about it , anyway. It's hot as I want it over this stove , an' if I want flies in the kitchen all I've got to do is to open the screens. " "That's me , " agreed the grocery man. "I get pleasant drives , good roads , ripe fruit and hard work right on the job an' I don't have to pay any $6 per for 'em. I got good an' wet , too , yest'day mornin' , just as wet as I could have got out in the country. I did go last year an' they gave me grub and a hard slat bed. Little old SAVSNG A CITY. H. T. Whigham , who went through the Cuban War and earned fame dur ing the South African War by his let ters to the London Morning Post gives the following story in V. C. of a cour ageous missionary who braved a city full of Boxers : It happened while I was in China , just after the Boxers had torn up the Manchurian railway and were playing hanky-panky with laAv and order. The Russians had to stop this sort of thing , and they did it in their usual fashion by marching from city to city , destroy ing and looting as they went. On these expeditions they generally got a Protestaut missionary to go with them , in most cases a Scotchman or an Englishman , to act as interpreter. The missionaries were glad enough to go because they hoped to check in some measure the frightful excesses of the Russian soldierj- . In most cases the cities and villages laid down their arms without a mur mur and waited for the Russians to walk oven them. But at once place something happened. The Russians marched up to the gates and were just about to enter when the Boxers open ed fire upon them. The army was withdrawn , the batteries were got out , and the general was just going to smash up the city when the Scotch ' missionary , Doctor Westwater , ap proached him and asked for a mo ment's truce. ' I undertake , " he said , "to enter the city and to induce it to surrender with out a shot being fired on one condi tion. " "Which is ? " "That there shall be no destruction and no looting ; none whatever. " The general yielded , and mounting his ponj * . Doctor Wes'twater rode for ward to the city alone. Now when you consider that the city was full of Boxers , you will realize that it was a pretty considerable act of courage for a missionary , of all men , to 'ride unarmed through those seething streets. This was what West- water did. The city was a roaring hive of armed Boxers , muskets peep ing from roof and window , and the streets ringing with the noise of arms. At the missionary quarters Doctor Westwater was fortunate enough to find a Christian convert , who conduct ed him to a place where the merchant gild were holding a sort of cabinet council. Westwater explained matters , ap pealed to the citizens to avoid blood shed , and pledged his word that neither destruction nor looting should mark the Russian occupation of their city. The appeal was successful , and he rode quietly back to the Russian general. The general was an awful brute , as bad as he could be , but Westwater's action seemed to impress him. and his orders were very exact. During his occupation of the city there was no single instance of crime. Westwater's gallant action , too , impressed even the Boxers. They named him the savior of the town , and when , some months later , he took his departure for home , he was made the honored guest of extraordinary banquets , and was ac companied to the railway station by all the grateful citizens , half of them waving flags and half of mem banging musical instruments. HOW TRAMPS WORK RAILWAYS. Successful Travelers Who tny No Fees for Transportation. Of the feats done by tramps on rail ways , none , I believe , excels in daring that known In the vernacular as "deck- go's good enough for me. It < vas i change , though. I guess that's why folks go there. There ain't nothin * like a change. " "That's right , " agreed the pretty cook. "Ain't that iceman gittin' a little monot'nous ? " asked the groceryinan , insinuatingly. "Seems to me it's about time for suthin' a little different. Seems to me I can smell wet sawdust every time I come around here. " "Wet sawdust is better than cigar ettes , anyway , " observed the pretty cook. "Do you want me to smoke up ? " ask ed the groceryman. "I will , if you say so. I'd do anything to make you hap py. All you've got to do is to mention what you want. " ' "Then pick up your basket and get out of here , " said the pretty cook , promptly. "That'll make me happier than anything I know of. " ' 'I know you don't mean it , " said the groceryman , picking up his basket. "As soon as I'm outside of the gato you'll be ready to call me back an' tell me you're sorry. The trouble with you , Evalina , is that you don't know jour own fond , foolish , flutterin' heart. When you nex' see me , an' find me cold an' immeltin' an' repellin' your warm affeckshunit caresses you'll re alize too late what you've done.

Chicago Daily News. ing a train. " To deck a train one ridos on top of the cars a sleeper , prefer ably , since the method is one em ployed only at night. Its great nd- vantage over other positions is that here the tramp traveler mny squat un disturbed at all stops. FLit on the car top , on the darker side of the sta tion , he usualy escapes detection ; more often , at any rate , than the man who dismounts at every station. Once on top , therefore , it may be an all-night- ride ; for the only men whose eyes fall on these car roofs in the course of reg ular business are those who once in a wJiile refill the ice-water tanks , which oftentimes open on the roof. Either the vestibule work on the end sleeper or the step-ladder en the engine tender will serve as a stepping-stone to the car top , although there are men nimble enough to scale the height from a vestibuled platform. In any case , the successful rider needs move quickly and unobserved , mindful all the time that one misstep may mean death by the wheels. On deck the pas senger finds security in clinging , per haps , to a small gas pipe not unlike a fly on the back of a trotter exposed to burning cinders , a wind of hurri cane force , and the fatal swinging of curves. On these same fast trains , as well as on slower "passenger.- , " tramps ride "blind baggage" day and night To go bHnd baggage is to ride the front end of a baggage car , which or dinarily has a platform but no door way. With the end of the cars thxis built solid , hobo travelers on the plat form have an excellent lounging place , out of immediate sight of engineer and fireman , and yet affording all tho beauty of fleeting landscape , without any of the inconveniences of an over crowded day coach. Leslie's Weekly. Food lor Invalids. No slander on the diet of the stal wart German race is intended by this story , which the Argonaut prints , but the sentiment of rho tale might have coiae from the lips of Mr. Dooley's friend , Schwartzmeister , or some of his brethren of iron digestion. A German was discussing the high price of cabbage. "I dell you , dese cappages is way up high dis year. Me und my vlfe puts up six or seffen or eight parrels of sauerkraut effery year , yes. But ve can't do ut dis year , no. Der cap- pages , dey cost too much. " "But you put up some sauerkraut , don't you , Chris ? " asked a friend. "Oh , so ! Yes , ve put up some , two or t-t-tree parrels , shust to haf in der house in case of sickness , yes. " Scaring Him Away.

"I tried different remedies hoping to get better , but nothing seemed to bring relief until a friend who had been cured of ovarian trouble , through the use of your compound , induced me to try it. I took it faithfully for three months , and at the end of that time was glad to find that I was a well woman.
