AS Il country becomes settled, and
especially in cities where great num-
bers of human beings are crowded into
comparatively a small place, men de-
generate in height and the women are
not only prOverbialy shorter than in
the country but they are less muscular.
AS there are thought to he exceptions
to all rules, there are both tall Tentle-
men and ladies in all cities. A ma
jOrity of them, however, if traced to
their birthplace, will be found to have
come from the country. Kentucky
and Tennessee produce the tallest
men in the country. A Young boy
taken from the city, whose parents
are below the usual height, and rear
in either of those States, would prob
ably quite OvertOp any of his family.
The material abounds in the grains
and meats of those splendid regions
for developing the bones.
The PatagOnians have long been
celebrated for being the tullest race Of
men in existence. MagCllan's assO-
ciates give their average stature at
seven feet four inches Commodore
Byron's officers seldom saw one below
seven feet, and some exceeded that
measure At the polar circles, espe-
cially North, the EsquimauX seldom
towers above four feet and half to
five feet. As whole the English are
finely developed, tall and energetic.
Americans are Il compound of all ma
tions on the globe, varying in size,
strength, height, weight, mental ca
pacity and energy according 10 the
predOminance of blood from any par
ticular source. A milk diet, of all
food, is most favorable for Il large. tall
frame in early life.

mrncing December IIIh.

Gen. Lee has requested Dr. r. c.
Kedzie Gather of our Prof. Kedzie, to
deliver several lectures on Agricultu-
raj Chemistry, at the A. d NJ. College,
commencing Dec. llth. The Doctor
has notified Gen. Lee that he will be
on hand.
DR.. Kedzie is President of the State
Board of Health of Michigan. He is
also the distinguished Professor OF
Chemistry and Phyics in the Agricul-
tural College of Michigan. He is pro-
badly the best Agricultural Chem
ist in the United States. He is the
farmers friend, and in one single in
stance while at college, he saved mil
lions of dollars to the farmers of his
State. A convention of millers deter
mined to put down the price of a GER
tain kind of wheat most used in Mich
igan, alledging that it was not up to
other grades in the nutritious quality.
The wheat went down in price ten or
twelve cents bushel. The Grangers
of the State appealed to the Agricul-
tural College for help. The Doctor
responded. He anaIyized the flour of
all wheat planted in the State; proved
that the decried wheat was the best.
1t rcgained its original price.
All farmers ard citizens are reques-
ted to come and hear the lectures at
our Agricultural College.

Morphine for Thirty Years

| New York sun.
| Mrs. Sulima B. Jackson, a wealthy
widow, died on Monday in her S7th
year, after thirty years persistant use
of morphine. She said that she first
used the drug under medical advice TO
ease neuralgia pains, and the habit
grew upon her until she became a
slave to it. She was native of Mas
sachusetts, and connected with some
Of the oldest families in that
State, Some time ago her hus-
band died, leaving her unencumbered,
and with handsome income. She
kept house alone until about eight
months ago. She had made every eff
fort to conquer the habit she had ac-
quired, but without success. When
she went to board in Thirty-secOnd
street she was accustomed to take as
much as twelve grains of morphine
day.
A month ago she sent for Dr. Fran
els A. Thomas, who found her bed
ridden and suffering from the effects
of the habit that had enslaved her
for thirty years. He advised her to
cease using the drug, but she said she
had not long to live under any cir
cumstances, and refused 10 abandon
it. Finally he succeeded in reducing
the daily allowance TO four grains, but
il had no effect upon the patient, who
wandered very much in her intellect,
and passed most of her time in a death
like stupor. On Monday morning
her attendants, surprising her TO be
dead spoke of her as having "gone
home;n but she aroused herself
quickly and said "Oh no, you have
not got rid Of me yet"
When DIR. Thomas called a little
later in the day, he found her very
near death, and told her so. The in
formation did not disturb her in the
least. She took her usual dose of
and sank into a sleep from
which she never awOke. DIR. Thomas
reported her death and its cause TO
the Bureau Of Vital Stats tics.

While the world is advancing and inn
proving and becoming more and more
civilized and refined in each succeed
ing generation, and manners and GUS
toms are changing, it has always been
q source of wonder that there has been
no change in the custom of paying
the salaries of our christian ministers.
They are educated for their professions;
their labor is constant and wearying ;
they study earnestly to make their dis
courses pleasant and instructive to
their congregations visit the sick,
relieve the poor and distressed bury
the dead, and set an example of pa
tience, piety and temperance, which
is well worthy of imitation. This is
the Office of the good christian minis
ters. They are indispensable; for since
we are so bad and wicked and fall so far
from our duties, with them to counsel
us what would we be without them
A minister is well entitled to his sal
ary. And yet, how is much of 1t paid?
By handing around the plate on the
Sabbath, in the very presence of him
and his family as if they had no sem
sibility and refinement of feeling, and
must be placed in the attitude of
beggars. Many unjust and wrong
things are authorized by custom.
Take up collections on the Sabbath
for charitable purposes, but not for the
minister's salary. A man of high and
holy calling with culture and refine
ment, must feel that it could be better
done in some other way. "Let your
light so shine" yet some do not let
theirs shine more than the worth of
a nickle candle. If it is a custom it Is
one which is "better observed in the
breach than in the performance"
"And what right madam have you to
try tochange a time-hOnored custom?"
/! why just the same tight
that any other individual has to
endeavor to change bad manners and
customs to better. 1t is sincerely 70
be wished that those who have the
management of paying the salaries Of
Of ministers of the Gospel, will ponder
we'll what reverence is their due, and
agree with me that they who strive to
make us fit to live and fit tOdie, should
not be made to feel that they are OBJ
iects Of charity. II. n. J.

a story About sam Houston.



Sam HoustOn's strange behavior in
December, 1873, IN resigning the Gov
ernurship of Tennessee and deserting
the wife lac had just married, has been
explained by Rev. Dr. q. W. Samson,
of New York, TO whom the Iacts Were
contided by Gov. Hou.tOn's widow,
his second wife, who is still living
On the eve of marriage, Gov. Huus-
ton observed a tremor in the voice OF
his bride, when the vow of undivided
attachment was pronounced, which
convinced him some secret had not
been revealed TO him Before retiring
he frankly told her of his suspicion,
asked frank confession, and pledged
that it should not work her injury.
Her frankness and firmnesS led to the
confession that her affections had been
pledged To another before their meet
ing, and that fillial duty had prompted
her acceptance of his prOtfer. Hous-
ton retired Ia his own cot, neXt daS
resigned his position, allowed the en-
tire fault to appear Ia be his, permit
ted and encouraged her application for
a divorce on the plea of deseTtiOu.
and his bride was married to the man
of her former affection. No one nf
Houston's companions knew till his
death the cause of his new course,
which his best friends, like Jackson,
regarded a. partial insanity.
