AVERAGE HEIGHT OF MEN.
Natives of the United States the Tall
est OF All Caucnsinns.

During the war measurements were
made OF over 100000 men in the United
States army, and it was found that the
average height of men born in the
United States was CTS inches. Accord
ing to Topinard, the average height of
Englishmen, Scotchmen and Swedes is
GA inches; Irishmen, 67; Germans
Co.,; Frenchmen, 65; Danes, CO.,; Rus
slams, 65.4; Chinese, Ga; Bushmen, 62;
Laplanders, GOT; American Indians,
GS.2; Patagonians, 70.3. Taking these
measurements as basis the average
for the world would be about 65.S. Ma
tives of the United States, it vii. be OBJ
served, are taller than any other repre-
sentatives Of the Caucasian race, and
it is an interesting fact that residence
on this continent, or, at east, the north
erp part of it, tends to develop all the
races in respect to height, weight and
muscular power. Thus, in the army
measurements referred to the average
height of foreign born citizens was less
than the average of Americana born, but
greater thar, the average in their re-
spcctive countries. The high average of
the Indians is another point in proof.
No statistics of the height of women
have ever been tabulated. According
to Ger.and, the variation in the height
of females of the various races is very
much less than of men. In the shortest
and weakest races the femaies are
physically equal to the males, and some
times Surpass them. On the other hand,
where the stature of the males is con-
sidere6l above the normal. the female
departs little from it.-St. Louis Globe

THE FARM MORTGAGE.

Two weN-to-do farmers were talking one
day
Of crops, and the weather and prospects
of hay,
And the obstacles many each season would
The heat of the summer, the latensss of
spring.
Said one to the other: IF only the weeds
Could once be got rid of; but most of the
seeds
Have wings and go flying all over the
place
To stand it with patience. it takes lots
Of grace.
Which kind is the worst now 1 hardly
can tell,
This summer my meadow would look very
well
If the daisies were not scattered over 80
thick.
can't bear those flowers, they just make
me sick"
But then said his neighbor: THE docks
are all worse
And the Canada thistle is really curse.
The iron and cotton weed both spoil
crop.
Just to name all the pests one never could
stop"
Said the first: "Cockle-burr I find great
pest:
don't see but that each is as bad as the
rest:
The wild onions grow where our cows love
to feed
/ wonder why God ever planted a weed'
Just then Uncle Jake with his snowy
white nair
Came riding along on his old sorrel mare
And. seeing the farmers were talking
Gethcr.
lie stopped for a word on the state of the
weather;
And. soon with their chat of the farm and
Came up the dispute they were having
weeds:
And both of them said they were willing
to take
AS final the verdict from good Uncle
Jake.
'My friends" said the old man-his talk
ing was slow
I've lived q long time and this one thing
l know:
All the weeds you have mentioned can't
do 50 much harm
AS one root of mortgage once grown on
the farm.
weeds die in the winter and give you
rest,
But it's then that the mortgage will grow
at it's best,
For the farmer has leisure to think and
to
What tyrant relentless mortgage can
be.
1T grows when the ground is all covered
with snow:
1t grows when the sweet summer breezes
1t bights every prospect that once seem'd
so fair
You cannot escape it, you know it is
there.
The money for butter your good wife
has made.
The price for the eggs her chickens have
laid.
For interest-payment all promptly must
go,
For mortgages have to be watered, you
And though you feel sure you are going
to pay
The principal off some good coming day,
1t takes all the money to meet present
needs,
And you find that a mortgage is much
worse than weeds.
But 1 must be or-take the word of a
friend,
We can bear any Ill that our Father may
send;
All the weeds He has made need not give
us alarm,
If only the mortgage is kept off the
farm"
With this Uncle Jake bade them both
good day.
And on his old mare he went jogging
away,
While the farmers rose slowly and one
of them said:
Il yum, but he hit the nail square on the
head"

Hluh Old Times in Meade.

The Democratic Committee OF Meade
county met at Brandenburg last Monday
and ordered Primary Election for March
ID. The meeting, we understand, was a
little stormy. The contention was over
the qualifications OF voters Some con-
tended for open doors TO all known Dem
ocrats, while others of the committee
wanted the doors open only to those who
voted for Bryan electors. Speeches were
made. George Casperke stood for the
former, while John Ashcrait champion
ed the latter. 1t was pretty close call,
the committee being almost evenly
divided. But John Ashcraft got in one
OF his broadsides on George and the in
struct ons went his way. None but those
voting for Bryan electors and young
Democrats becoming Of age and pledging
themselv' to support the nominees, can
participate, The woods are full Of can
didates. There are just six dozen all
told who want an Office at the hands Of
the dear people, They are Jolly set OF
fellows and there'll be high old times in
Meade from now ON until the primary.
