Walking in Circles.
Toronto Truth.

toronto truth.
The fact that people lost Oh desert
or in forest invariably walk in a circle
IS due to slight inequality in the
length of the legs. Careful measure
mentS of series of skeletons
have shown that only 10 per cent
had the lower limbs equal in length,
So per cent had the right
limb longer than the left, while in So
per cent the left leg was the longer. The
result of one limb being longer than the
other will naturally be that person
will unconsciOusly take a longer step
with the longer limb. and consequently
will trend to the right or to the left, ac-
cording as the left or right is the longer,
unless the tendency to deviation is cor
rected by the eye.
The left leg being more frequently
the longer, as evinced by the measure
ment of the skeletons, the inclination
should take more frequently to the
right than to the left. and this conclu-
sion is quite borne out by observations
made on number OF persons when
walking bindfolded. Further, on meas
urement of the arms it is found that in
~ per cent the right arm is longer
than the LETT, while in "a per cent the left
arm is the longer, showing that con-
siderable majority of persons are right
handed and left legged. The Unequal
ity in the length of the limb is not con-
fined to any particular sex or race, but
seems to be universal in all respects.

BATTLE OF GHADIATORs.
Jack King and \. d. Mcmillan to
Try Conclusions Tonight.

Jack King and \. D. Mcmillan to
Try Conclusions Tonight.
A. D. Mcmillan, who is to meet Jack
King at the Olympic this evening in a
catch-as-catch-can wrestling match, is
we'll known to the sporting world. If
any one has the slightest doubt of his
prowess, all that is necessary is to refer
to his record. For instance, Tom Can
non is well known in the Northwest as
one of the "foXiest' and strongest per-
formers in the profession. Mcmillan
has defeated him in short order.
For tonight's event, he comes in per-
feet condition Al d ready 10 TO battle
with the gladiator that he must meet.
Last evening The stakes were COM
pleted and Harry Robinson holds the
500. In addition to this, the theater
management has put up purse of $3.50.
The management realizes that no little
chance is taken in Offering SO much
money in connection with an expensive
company, but it is thought that an event
of such order must arouse the enthu
siasm Of lovers of athletic sports, and
that this match will be appreciated and
supported. 1t is but the beginning of
wrestling events that are to occur un-
der Harry Robinson's management, and
therefore he is particularly Interested
in having the match dead on the
square"
Mcmillan is a giant. He is taller than
King, and built from the ground up, )"
in sporting parlance. Meanwhile. King
Is no stranger 10 the city. He stood Off
Charley Moth, and, now that ne is H.
condition. he feels confident of winning
against the man who disputes with him
the title of the tiye-stYle champion of
the world. There is jealousy between
them. owing to the fact that both
are candidates for the rich worlds
fair purses next summer, and they
will do desperate battle TO win. King is
so sure Of winning that he is willing 10
make a side wager today, and it is likely
that McMillan's hacker will call him.
They came together last evening and
perfected agreements and placed their
moneys, and now all that remains is to
Eight it cut" tonight.
The clever little Appleton Brothers
have been engaged to give an exhibit
ton with the gloves also this evening.

New York Herald.
There is one family in Brooklyn which

however, threatened temporarily to do
so. 1t was such a close call that every
member of the family can still feel his
heart thump. This is how it all hap

When one Of the daughters was mar
RED short time ago, the rest OF the
family demonstrated their good feelings
toward the young people by playing all
sorts of pranks on them. The brother
of the bride followed the expressman
who took the trunks to the railway
station and when he got around the cor
ner tackled rosettes of white ribbon all
over them. They went to their destina-
ton decorated in this way.
The younger sister of the bride added
to the humiliation of the couple by
sending letter tied up in pink ribbon
and addressed in large letters:
''lf not called for in ten days return to
the brides parents, No. - - street,

Sensational Charges Made by the

NEW YORK, April 13.-The Dry Goods

eral charge is. first, that there

porterS to defraud the government by
Underwriting imported merchant Use,
and, second, that the active instruments
of corruption, namely, certain examiners
