thropometry is OF great practical value,
both as a branch of anthropology, or
the study of the human species, and
also as a guide to scientific systems of
physical training.
IL was with the latter end in view
that DIR. Dudley 4. Sargent, now di-
rector of the Hemenway gymnasium
at Harvard university. undertook some
25 years ago to elaborate detailed
scheme of anthropometric measure
ments. In place of the few crude and
thoroughly unreliable records of army
officers, DIR. Sargent constructed a COM
plete tabular view of the genus homo
from head to foot, aud he proceeded to
take his measurements with such fas-
tidious care AMI upon such a multitude
of subjects that the practical deduc-
tions derived therefrom would be ac-
cepted as conclusive.
DR.. Sargent began his work at Bow
Coin IN go; from 70 ~ he was at Yale.
nnd since 1850 he has been at Harvard
university. In the course of these years
he has gathered and placed on record
the measurements of thousands and
tens of thousands of students, some
thick, some thin, lean, fat, short and
tall, athletic and puny. The sun total

other parts of the body would hold, but
it never seemed 10 occur to people to I'M
dertake the actual measurements. To
day when we want to make sure of some
medical theory we get at the bare facts
we under take the actual measurements
and aim to make them so accurate that
scientists may be perfectly safe in bas
ing any deductions upon the results"
AS a means to the fostering of ath
letics, especially of college athletics
anthropometry has been of inestimable
value. In the first place physical in
structors have learned to judge with
accuracy every pupils condition. They
no longer rely upon mere opinion OF
guess work, but by actual measure
ment and strength tests, with appa,
ratus and by comparison with the sta.
tistics before them, they learn precisely
in what respects the boy or man in their
care is equal TO, in what respects su.
perior to the average or normal. Fur.
thermore anthropometry has shown
that the tendency an lg athletes to de-
velop exclusively those functions in
which they already excel while failing
positively dangerous. 1t is in fact often
the real cause of that uncanny reputa-
ton for being subject 10 heart troubles
and other ills which attaches to many
of the greatest athletes. BY modern
scientific system of athletic training
all this is obviated when a mans meas
urements have been taken and his de-
ficiencies aScertaiped certain athletic
exercise is first prescribed for his
weaker organs, as one might prescribe
uunine or diet. Then, and not till
then. comes the time to develop the
record breakers particular powers. The
measurements are of further value to
athletes, inasmuch as they give each in
dividual chance to trace his develop
ment i'm the course of a seasons train
ing and to compare his progress with
the work OF others. Incidentally an
interesting feature is the so-called to-
tai strength record. This is an honor
held by the college man who can make
the highest record for strength meas
urements. At the present time Lover
ing, of Harvard. holds the recesd, with
Arthur Hawks second.
In making the measurements the
most delicate apparatus is required.
Special instruments are made TO test
the lifting and pulling strength; huge
calipers are used. and for measurement
of length and breadths there is wood
en- rod lined with metal and holding two
other rods perpendicular to It.

DISPOSING OF VEAL.
A Plain Talk with Dairymen, with
Few Hints Thrown kP.


There are several ways that you can
dispose of veal. IF no one else in your
community is interested in the pro-
duction you are very favorably located,
as then you have things all your own
way, as one of the drawbacks is in the
finding of young calves. Meat mar
kets are using veal more and more, and
il is poor market that cannot use n
couple of veals a week. The first year
parhars th~t 80 oil 70. bod bst.e~ "a
tempt to furnish. Now when hogs or
sheep or lambs are being shipped, any
shipper will be willing TO put in few
calves, and as more are being produced
in your vicinity, there will grow up
steady market. One day every week
there are shipped from here from 30 to
100 calves. Probably this one industry
alone brings in and distributes among
the farmers $4,000 year in cash, not
"store pay" and does not impoverish
the land.
If you are in the habit of getting
drunk or have any other reason for not
being able to be at home at the regular
time for milking, this article is not for
you, as you can never make success
OF it. Cows must be MIXED at about
such a time twice every day. If yoI
are in the habit of putting the calves
on at five o'clock a. M, and you get up
and put them on at four, the calves are
sleepy, and the COWS don't give as
much.
If you are in the habit of putting them
on at six o'clock p. M, and don't get
home until nine o'clock, as you wanted
to see the last heat of the horse race,
the cows will be uneasy, and the calves
very hungry. The cows will give more
milk than usual, the calves getting a
larger feed on an empty stomach. The
next morning you will probably find
some of the calves securing, and the
stable will smell like Fourth of July
celebration" 1t didn't take long -
bring this about. The chances are that
YOU will have a battle to cure II. l
know of nothing that will prove GER
tain cure but ten drops of laudanum in
an ounce OF water, and keeping the
calf on short rations for a few days,
is as good as anything. Giving the
calves a little fresh earth once week
is good thing, and they seem to like
it.-Henry s. Kelley, in Ohio Farmer.

of the human being from childhood has
been watched, and the needs at different
stages OF development, the defects most
liable to appear at each period, etc, are
now better known than ever before.
The particular dangers also of every
kind of employment have been ascer-
tanned, so that the physician is enabled
to guard against these. No little has
been accomplished in the way of show
ing with double emphasis the great
danger that lies in certain habits of
living, il not directly to the public at
least to the medical world. For ex-
ample. il was shown that by a contrac-
tion of woman's waist of one inch the
heart beat was raised to les beats per
minute, which is eight beats beyond
the danger limits set in athletic train
ing. In fact il is claimed that as re-
suit of anthropometric study many col
lege girls have so realized the vicious
ness of tight lacing that the custom is
rapidly losing many of its devotees.
The comparative development of the
sexes has also been accurately traced.
The first five years of both boys and
girls are found to be those of the most
rapid growth. During the following
five years BOYS grow more rapidly, but
girls gain later and are actually taller
from the 18th to the 14th year. Women
stop growing at 20 while men do not
reach THEN full height till % or some
times 80. The records of anthropometry
have furnished much more information
of interest. For example the curious
fact that light complexioned people are
more easily subject to disease than
others is said to have been verified.
Inherent weaknesses of the body and
the tendencies to disease, geographical
~, ethnologically and otherwise con-
sidered, have been studied with
inductive accuracy and complete
ness as was never dreamt OF Is
and 90 years ago. In fact every
branch of medical science has been fur
nished with newly discovered facts to
prove or disproye the mere speculations
with which practitioners had been
forced to content themselves. ION this
very subject of measurements" DR..
Sargent remarked to me about month
ago, "there were all sorts of theoI les.
Some one suggested a scheme of meas
uring the whole body by the thumb;
there were long and learned arguments
as to whether any exact proportions
between the length of the thumb and of

Chosen by New Workers.

The Quaint, Poetic and Com place
Chosen by New Workers.
large number of the picturesque
Thousand islands, in the ST. Lawrence
river, are owned by New York and
Brooklyn people. On most of them are
summer residences-some large and
costly, and others primitive, odd and
coy. Each island has its name, and
while some of the names are appro-
pirate, considerable proportion OF
them are surprisingly irrelevant. To
persons familiar with the Thousand
islands, the nomenclature has for years
been a source of mild amusement.
The names of about $50 of these little
islands were collected last summer and
printed in a small book, together with
the names of their owners. Thus it
appears that there is Scorpion island,
without any scorpions; a Coral island,
without coraIs; a Rabbit island, with
out rabbits; Little Fraud, a Little
Delight, Little Charm. a Little Angel,
and Two-in-Eel-Bay island.

Il knew a man once" said fisher
man, who had a pet crow that used TO
come down to meet him when he came
in from fishing. The crows owner was
a fisherman. His boat might be among
40 or so other boats, all coming in to-
gether, but that crow never made any
mistake; he always knew his own boat.
He liked CLAIMS, and when he came
aboard his owner would knock couple
of clans together-that would breal;
one-and put the broken clam down for
the crow to eat; and then he would go
on rowing, and that's the way they al
ways came to shore. the fisherman pull
