Measurements of Men.

What l propose to speak of 10 the
present memoir are those measure
ments OF the bodily form and iaeul.
ties that can, or apparently could,
De made With some precision, but the
personal data IN respect to intellectual
and emotional capacities, and to
special aptitudes and tastes, require
a separate treatment. The progress
OF the art of measurement of the
more purely bodily faculties has been
hy no means uniform. It has never
been specially directed toward fur.
theTing the knowledge Of the life
history OF individuals, but for the
most part toward other theoretical
Investigations. In some cases elab-
crate Instrum eats and methods of
observation have been devised by
which certain faculties have been
tested with extreme minuteness; in
other cases no well-contriyed and ap-
proved system of examination exists.
II everything should be stated by
which anthropometry might profit,
the effect would be not unlike the
map OF sone pariially-settled country
drawn on scale so large as to show
the cadsstrsl survey of its principal
toWn-lAnds. A fraction Of the whole
would thus be infinitely engraved,
the wide adjacent regions would be
represented by a few lines OF route,
and the remainder would consist OF
blanks. In order to conway in the
beet way an idea Of what is known
about such a country as this, the
general map of it should be on a
small scale, and then uniformity of
treatment becomes possible. Acting
on this principle, 1 shall AVOID en-
tering into details On thoEe subjects

simpler requirements of anshropo.
metry.
Let US, then, consider how We
should sat to work to define and
describe the various bodily faculties
Of person whom We had ample
means of observing, say one of our
own children. Some of the obserVa-
tons could hardly be made except at
4 properly equipped antbFopometEic
laboratory; others, as it will be seen,
could at present be carried on best
in the playground. l shall not
care to distinguish these in the
description; they will be obvious
enough when they occur. The tosts
would define the capacities of the
person at the moment when he
was observed. They are expected
to be renewed at intervals, 80 as to
serve as records of successive periods
in his Iife-history.-FraHcis Gallon,

a New Speciality.

Mr.. George A. Meaars, the enter
prising liquor merchant of Second
South street, has just introduced
into this market new speciality,
which has been adYertiaed in our
columns for some days past. The
article referred to is known as
"altar Wine" and is made under the
supervision of Rev. P. j. Kaiser, in
the vineyards of Archbishop Ale
many 1T the Old Mission, San Jose,
Gala. The wine is strongly recon-
mended by His Grace, Archbishop
Alemany as being of good quality,
and the best for sacramento pur-
poses that has ever yet been made,
and there is little doubt that he
knows whereof he speaks. There
is no doubt as TO its commences !;
it is absolutely pure, and did it pos
sess no other desirable quality, this
fact should be enough 10 commend
it to all who desire that kind OF
beverage. 1t is already popular on
the coast, and cannot fail to become
so here. AS a light table wine it
stands at the head; and has already
been pronounced by competent
judges to be better than many other
more pretentious brands, which cost
double the money. 1t is sold by Mr.
Meears either in the original pack
age. under seal, by the dozen, or SIN
gle bottle. AS a pure WINE for sac
ramental; medicinal or family use il
cannot be eXcelled.

The Siege Of Antwerp in
1900.

A pamphlet entitled "Fron the
Spree to the Seheldt" has recently
been published in Belgium, Holland,
and France, the object of the writer,
who has evidently taken bis idea
from 1.-THE Battle Of Dorking," be-
log to SHOW that with the dawn of the
twentieth century Germany will be
supreme IN Europe. In the year
1895 France has imprudently refused
to Germany the extradition OF
regioide who has taken refuge upon
her territory, and the German gov
eminent has forthwith declared war,
Italy svailing herself of this oppor-
tunitY to claim Savoy, Nice. Corsica,
aud Tunis. The campaign is q very
brief one. and France is broken up
as military power and divided into
several provinces called "the United
States of France" Italy, Spain, and
Austria are faithful allies of the Ger.
man empire, and Russia is afraid to
move. Germany then remembers
that her natural frontier to the west
is the German Ocean, and deter
mines 20 annex Holland and Bel
GUM. After Customs blockade,
when Is a prologue to the military
operations, three German armies
assembled at Metz, Trier, aud Co
logne-invaoe Belgium, and King
Leopold calls the nation TO arms and
attempts to defend the line of the
Meuse, while the reserves are b ing
formed under the walls of Antwerp.

Belgium by way of Dutch Brabant,
takes the positions Of the Mouse from
the rear, and compels the Bslgians
to capiEulate between Louvsin and
Tirlsmont. The whole kingdom is
invaded, and the investment of Ant
Werp is then complete. In the
meanwhile, the English government
faithful to the tradition that there
''should be Belgium in Europe "a
long as there was an England ia the
world, !" sends feet to the mouth Of
the Scheldl, bat it is defeated by the
naval forces of Germany, reinforced
By part of the French feet which

querors. Antwerp is 5ombarded BY
land and by water, the stoTehouseI
are set on frs by Germans within the
city, which then cspitulates. Holland
and Belgium ara annexed to the
German empire, and 1s DsUms are
sung from one end Of Europe to the
other. Il appears that the staff
officers in Belgium are anxious to
have it known that this pamphlet,
which they say is full OF strategic
bIunders, does not emana.e from
any of them.

The CrOsS-Mark.

The mark which persons who are
unable to write are required to make
instead of their signature ia in the
form of a cross, aud this practice.
having formerly been followed by
kings and mobiles, is constantly re.
ferred 20 as an instance of the deplor-
able ignorance of snciect times.
This signature is lot, however, IN
variable proof of such ignorance.
Anciently, the usa of this mark was
not confined to illiterate persons; tor
among the Saxons the mark Of the
cross, as an attestation of the good
faith of the person signing, mas re-
quired to be attached to the signature
of those VINO could write, as we'll as
to stand in the place of the signature
of those who could not write. In
those times. if q man could write, OF
even read, bis knowledge was con-
sidered proof positive that be was il
holy orders. The word clericWs, or
clerk, was synonymous with penmen,
and the laity, or people who we're not
CLERKS, did not feel any urgent neces-
sity FOR the use OF letters.
The ancient use of the cross was,
therefore. universal alike by those
Whs could AID by those who could
not write. 1t was, indeed. the sym.
Dol OF an oath from Its early assooia-
tione, and generally the mark. On
this account Mr. Chas. knight, in
his notes in the Pictorial Shake
spesre," explains the expression o!
"God save the markP' as a form e
ejaculation approaching to the char.
acter Of an oath. The phrase occurs
three or more times in the plays Of
Shakespeare, but for a long time va:

nal obscurity. -Nanehester Times.

OUR LOCAL DEMOCRATIC MAcu1Nr
The Candidates Assessed for the Elec
tfon---The Machine Creased for
the Contest.

The democratic executive committee, with
MAJ. Dryer as chief "boss," has held its i'm.
portant session, and assessed the nominees
tor county Offices for campaign fund. The
submission of these nominees to the political
black mail which is 10 be used to subvert the
will of the people is the cause of the revolt OF
the decent people Of our county against the
democratic machine. These democratic nom.
inees are helpless, and their money is to be
used Tor the success of Hancock and Ireland,
and the democratic state ticket, and to per-
petuate in power the ''boss" rule.
The convention system for the nomination
OF county officers has been run in the mud and
mlre OF corruption, and the candidate who
comes out with democratic nomina ton
pinned on his back wears badge of fraud, no
matter how worthy personally he may be.
Our local politics have become notoriously
corrupt. Money is openly used to influence
voters or rather to secure parties influential
with certain classes, and the better class of
cltlzens begin to revolt and determine to use
all effort to break down system that is q dis
grace to the community.
1t is this state of affairs that has influenced
the republican executive committee to recon-.
mend the independent candidates announced
tor the several county offices, and such of the
regular democratic ticket as seem to be gener-
ally acceptable to the public. A basis Of op-
position is established-a point of resistance
made about which can rally all those who de-
sire to enter their protest against system of
local politics that is both vicious and disgrace
The evening light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1881-1883, 1882-10-21

The announcement on the part of the coun-
ty republican executive committee recommend
ing ticket to the people will be hailed with
satisfaction by large majority of the best
people OF the county. The candidates pro-
posed were not nominated or secured by the
committee but are candidates already before
the.people upon their own responsibility, or by
nomination and the action of the committee
has only the force of a recommendation.
There has been no chicanery, no manipuia-
ton no fraud in this action, it grew out of
determination on the part Of the republicans
to be consistent and not to hold 4 conven-
ton and put out party candidates, but to allow
perfect freedom of action in the choice of our
local officers.

The Oldest Iown In Toxas.

Ysleta, on the Rio Grande, II miles below
FL Paso, is the county seat of FL Paso county
has population of about $500 and is one Of
the most interesting places in the world. II
is interesting from its great antiquity and the
peculiarly of its people, its architecture. it.
agriculture, and its products. 1t is far the
Oldest tswn in Texas, and there can be little
doubt that i. IS also the Oldest in the United
States. 1t is Said to be el-established his
torcal fact that Spanish explorer or military
adventurer named Coronado. visited the nlace
in I54o, and found it then a pop-
ulous and prosperous civilized Indian
community. He was Immediately followed
by the franciscan friars, who erected church
and established shoots the same year. Thesr
facts are said to be just as easily proved a.
any other facts in history. Now, if Ys.e,,
was populous town in 1870, it follows with
out doubt, that it was = town before tha,
time. and 1t may have been a town even hun
dreds OF years before. The same race of peo-
pie exists there to-day just as pure-blooded
tor the most part, as when Coronado found
them 342 years ago, engaged in the same aori-
:lltural and mechanical pursuits as their fore
athers in ages back.

The Effects of the Tariff Question.

The excitement and uncertainty which IL
now undermining public trade confidence is
leading capitalists quietly and surely to with
draw their capital from textile manufactures,
and as result several failures are chronicled
in the eastern states. This is affecting other
branches of trade, and unless confidence and
certainty are re-established there is danger to
the commercial integrity OF the country. And
this will not be done by the election Of such
man as Hancock the free trade advocate and
nominee of the Golden club, whose sole OBJ
ject is to introduce free trade into America,
and by running her manufacturing institutions
in making them improbable, secure monop-
oily for British traders.
