'LEssENiNe STATURE IN EUROPE

One of the Chief Contributing Causes
IL the Military Service Exacted.
This, relation between stature and
health is brought to concrete express
sion in the armiesio of Europe through
rejection of all recruits for service who
fall below certain minimum standard
of height, generally about five feet, says
Popular Science Monthly. The. re-
suit of this is to preclude the possibility
of marriage for all the fully developed
men during their three years in the
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 q distinct premium upon in
feriority of stature iri so far as future
generations are concerned? This en-
forced postponemcnt of marriage for
the normal man implies not merelythat
the children of normal families are,
born later in life-that would not be of
great moment in itself-it means far
more than this. The majority of chill
dren are more often born in the earlier
half of married life, before the age of
35. Hence a postponement of matri-
mony 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
tions with inferior types of men.

DANGER Iw NEWSPAPERS.

One Causes . Lms OF Eighty, Quarts
OF MIX.
For several weeks the streets in tho
extreme southern section of the city
have been Uttered with papers, hand
bills and other rubbish OF all sorts and
sizes, says the Philadelphia Record. The
evil was due in a. measure TO the habit
of certain merchants Of the neighbor-
hood who, to advertise their wares,
have flooded the district with printed
dodgers" both large and. small This
condition of affairs led to- an accident
recently which might have proved 6eri-
GUS. A'milk wagon drawn by a meek
looking brown horse was jogging peace
fully along the street, when sud-
denly. a double sheet of newspaper
borne along by the wind swooped down
upon the horses head. The paper
stuck there, and twisting itself about
the frightened brute's head trans
formed the formerly peaceful. animal
into q perfect demon. With q wild
flourish of its hind legs which shattered
the dashboard of the wagon the horse,
blindfolded as it was with the paper,
tore furiously down the street. The
wagon struck q pile of stones, and, al
though it was not overturned, the milk
cans were. and their contents poured
into a mortar bed which lay along the
south side of.the street, where row Of
new houses was being erected. AT the
same time the trees broke and the horse,
fioundering into bed of sand, fell in
a heap. Then another gust OF wind
came along, whisKed the newspaper Off
the horses head and carried it over an
adjoining .housetop. hThe horse was
captured and found to be uninjured,
/ but the milkmant bemOaned the loss Of
80 quarts of milk. ..

Sparkle of Jewels.

AS long as the world lasts precious stones
will continue to be the delight Of all. the
decoration combining beauty and elegance
Time was, and not very long ago, when it
was only the favored few who could wear
the gems of mother earth. Precious stones
were synonymous with wealth. Now things
have changed. Competition has brought
down the price Of jewels, and now every
well-dressed man and woman has one or
more gems What is prettier than a spar
king diamond, the scintillating ruby of
pigeon blood redness, the soft mellow light
from the emerald, or the varied-colored
opal with it's myriad lights? And who Is it
that can forget the sapphire with its blue
lights, that seem to reflect the beauty of
the skies. or the pale blue of the turquois?
Poets have sung their praises, and bards
eXtolled their influence. But Castleberg
has reduced their price. BY his system of
credit, all honest men and women may OBJ
tain for Il small payment each week any
thing he has, and he has everything that
goes by the name of jewel. His Christmas
specialties are marvels, and his store spar

Fortress Monroe and Virginia Beach are
two very pleasant places to visit during the
Christmas holidays. The steadily increas-
ing numbers who go to Fortress Monroe
and Norfolk from this city, on the steamers
Of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
Company, show how popular this route is
with travellers. And 1t deserves this popu-
larity. All the steamers of this line are
modern vessels, and are furnished through
out in modern style. They have their own
electric lighting plant, and are heated by
steam exclusively. Their salons are very
handsome apartments, while their state
rooms are large, comfortable and coy, One
of the steamers of this line leaves 7th street
wharf every evening in the year at z
o'clock and arrives at Fortress Monroe at 7
o'clock and at Norfolk at o'clock the fol-
lowing morning.

as the site for a soldiers home.
The people of South Carolina and of
Charleston are petitioners before Con-
gress for this home; the G. A. r. and other
national bodies have given their indorse-
ment to it. and Congress will be asked,
irrespective of party lines or factions. to
give the bills pending before 1t favorable
consideration.
Mr.. kaufman has brought the matter
personally before Vice President Hobart
and Speaker Reed, and they have promised
to consider it carefully. The bills now
