Whatever we suffer from corruption

HER LIFELIKE STATUE.

eA9nalixinE Her Departure From the
World of Artists.
Before her marriage she had been n
famous sculptress. She lad made sew
eral portrait statues Of well known
men, and every n predicted for her a
still more brilliant future, when she
suddenly set all predictions at naught
py marrying @ wealthy man who dis.
approved of her keeping up her profess
sional work. She was very quiet under
this restriction, but was supposed to
rebel inwardly. Therefore, when at a
dinner party n evening, she asked
her old friend, Gen. Bashar, to come to
see her on the following evening. and
inspect her last piece of work, which
she thought the best and most lifelike
she had ever executed, he supposed he
was expected to use his influence to
prevail upon her husband to permit her
to resume her place amorg the working
fraternity of artists.
II am sure you will like it, generals"
she said, with a winning smile. cit

am in love with it myself"
"Oh, it's a %statuette. is it," he asked.
"Well, yes, you might call it So" she
answered archly, as she went out Of the
room. In a few minutes she returned,
bearing in her arms-a baby!

She Remembered.

Apropos of Washington a quaint
story is told concerning an old man.
my who was discovered in his native
town of Fredericksburg and who could
not have been born when the general
died, says an exchange. Mrs. Pickett,
the widow of Gen.. Pickett of southern
fame told it with a hearty appreciation
Of its merits: "She was an old woman
in a linsey-woolsey petticoat and a
bright turban and VI found her in one
of our jaunts around the city and took
q kodak picture of her. One of the
company asked her in fun II she re-
membered Washington-you see, she

you were one of his nurses, mammy?'

Il was decided that old nanny had

peculiar delusion undisturbed."

DIMINISHING STATURE.
One II the Chief Causes Is the Mill
tary Service Exactcd.

One Of the Chief Causes Is the MILF
tary Service Exactcd.
The relation between stature and
health is brought to concrete express
ion in the armies of Europe through Il
rejection of all recruits for service who
fall below a certain minimum standard
Of height, generally about five feet.
The result Of this is to preclude the pos
sibility Of marriage, for all the fully
developed men during their three years
in barracks, while the understood indi-
viduals, exempted from service on this
account, are left free to propagate the
species meanwhile. Is it not apparent
that the effect of this artificial selection
Is to put a distinct premium on inferi-
GRITTY of stature in so far as future gen-
erations are concerned? This enforced
postponement Of marriage for the nor
NAL maj i'm plies not merely that the
children of normal families are born
later in life-that would not be of great
moment in itself-it mean far more
than this. The majority Of children
ere more often born in the earlier half
Of married life, before the age Of thir-
ty-five. Hence, a postponement Of mat
rimony means not only later children:
but fewer children. Herein lies the
great significance of the phenomenon
for us. Standing armies tend, in this
respect, to overload succeeding genera
tons with inferior types Of men.-Pop-

Queer Ways Of Growing Manly.

he understands it. So he cuts gashes
in his arms and breast and rubs into
the wounds the Juice of a plant which
sttngs and bites. but this juice is said
to be also an antidote Of snake poison.
ISome little boys grow up with very
queer ideas of what it means to be a
man. I remember passing a group of
little boys. slittle bits of boys, in a ten
ement house street once. Before 1

greatly excited. that they were all
talking at once and talking very loud
ly. I walked slowly to try to find
out what was the cause of the excite
ment, and l found that the boys were
telling each other what they meant to
be when they were men. One little
fat. chubby boy put his hands in his
k~nickerbocker pockets, swelled out his
chest, and said. with an air of pride
and decision, II am going to Diet junk.

very clear ideas as to what it meant
to be a man; but he showed one thing,
that he loved his father, and that his
father was to him the best kind of a
man.

The continent of South America sup

The continent of South America sup
ports nations that are still, at the close
of the nineteenth century, u%ndeniably
primitive in their manners and arts.
The tribe Of the Jivaros is a large one,
and n of the most distinguished, in
dependent and warlike in South Amer
lea. They speak a language Of their
own, Jivaro, and occupy the country
generally from the upper Pestessa. to
the Santiago River, down to the Pom
code Manserjche, on the Maranon.
They are hospitab,e and their houses
are large and built of palms. They
have a most perfect method of
scalping, by which the victims head
is reduced 20 the size Of a moderately
large orange, maintaining tolerably
we'll all the features. The skin is cut
round the base of the neck, and the en-
tire covering Of the skull removed in
one piece. This Is then dried gradual
ly by means Of hot stones put inside
1T, until the homeless head shrirks to
the required size. They also wear the
hair Of their slain enemies in long
pla1ts around their waist. Great fes-
tivfties take place when a child, at
three or four years of age, is initiated
into the art and mysteries of smok-
ing. The Jivaros of the Pintue have
the art Of producing emesis nearly
every morning, with the aid of a
feather, because they hold that all food
remaining in tie stomach overnight is
unwholesome and undigested, and
should. therefore, be got rid off by any
means. They are satisfied the means
they have practiced through many
generations is the readiest available
and the most effective.
