AVERAGE HEIGHT OF MIN.

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.
According to Topinard, the average
height of Englishmen, Scotchmen and
Swedes is 674 inches; Irishmen, g.;
Germans, 66.2; Frenchmen, SIS; Danes,
66.2; Russians, 65.4; Chinese, GA;
Bushmen, 81; Laplanders, GOT; Amer
lean Indians, 6S.2; Patagonians, 70.3
Taking these measurements as a basis,
the average for the world would be
about 65.S. Natives OF the United
States, it will be observed, are taller
than any other representatives OF the
Caucasian race, and it is an interest

which she feared to expose to ridicule.
Why should she treat him, a scoffer,
earnestly, And still his heart was
chilled and his lips were closed by the
fear of her scornful laugh. Her laugh!
How maddeningly mocking it was!
And a recollection flashed across his
mind. He had made her acquaintance
IN the isle OF Wight during the prev
lous summer. One day they were
standing before the emerald green ST.
Catherine. From the summit of the
hill the ruins looked down upon them.
All around was holy quiet. 1t seemed
as If nature We're hiding her deepest,
purest thoughts in the rich stiffness.
AS usual she began joking and scofing.
Suddenly from the hilltop came the
echo of her laugh. It sounded sacri-
ligious, and she shrank back startled.
And again he wondered if he could
have been mistaken in his judgment of
her. Dared he tell her what his heart
prompted? What was the truth about
the woman?
The last sounds of the adagio melted
away into silence, and the room was
still. Suddenly she left the piano and
stood before him.
Surely you haven't been asleep.
Now, confess. I really believe you
were DOING
Her voice sounded just as usual, and
that brought him to himself once more.

had he been foolishly dreaming? No,
she had not altered at all. She was
just the same as ever. Her seriousness
was only one of her many moods and
was entirely superficial.
Sleeping! wish could have slept
myself away into nothingness.
Wouldn't you rather have dream
ed?"
mo, I would rather sleep the dream
less sleep. I shall never see you again.
You know we shall not meet after to-
night, and what will my life be without
your"
She did not reply, nor did she laugh.
The edge of the thick dark cloud was
beginning to take a silver tinge. The
noon had risen. He had taken his hat,
and as he grasped her hand he said.
"And now, goodby''
1t was his last hope. AS he could not
see her face, he trusted that her hand
might tremble But no, she was as
self possessed as ever Once more he
said very gently, "Goodby."
"Goodby," she answered. Not a word
more. He went, but stopped for a mo-
ment at the door and turned At that
If stant stray noonbeam dropped
over the edge of the cloud, wandered
through the window and rested ON her
face. Two pearl drops were rolling
down her cheeks
''Hortense!" he cried passionately as
he sprang across the room and took
ner in his arms. She rested her hand
ON his shoulder and did not laugh

Berlin Medical society. The German
doctors paper has attracted great at
tention in Germany, where both sides
of the question, whether it is bene-
fetal or not to ride a bicycle, are
widely discussed. The medical men
seem DESTROYS of warning against ex-
cessive riding and the dangers of too
much bicycling are therefore enlarged
on in the paper quoted by DR.. keenan,.
These dangers are specified ais fol-
lows THE dangers of the wheel
may consist of injuries from accident,
inflammation of the knee joint, result
ing from overwork, inflammation of
both male and female pelvic organs
resulting fro17a pressure of the saddle,
ETC. Another danger is in the con-
slant excessive exertion, which can
produce an increased atomic and
molecular change throughout the body,
especially il, the vital organs, to such
degree that a general weakening of
the individual and an especial sus-
ceptibility to infectious diseases may
result. The tendency to catch cold is
proved by experience to be great.
The heart is subject to the greatest
danger in cases Of excessive cycle rid
ing. A large number Of sudden deaths
have already been recorded, due to ex-
cessive strain on the heart" After
showing the risks to which the bicycle
rider is constantly exposed, the paper

A NEW FABRIC.
Cashmere Veloute in Delicate Tints
for Autumn Gowns.

Cashmere "veloute" is a new fabric
that comes in beautiful tints and
makes appropriate and pretty gowns
for the approaching season. A
trock of this material is made with
severely cut skirt, trimmed with appli-
cations in black mohair extending from
the waist on either hip halfway down.
These applications appear also on
either side of the V-shaped bodice,
which is turned back from the neck to
the waist with revers of white water
silk. The V is filled in with a plast-
ron of white faille and a collar of tho
same, with a high Medici collar OF
the cashmere at the back. The sleeves
are nearly tight, with slight fullness
at the top.
A fetching but very simple walking
dress has a double skirt, one fittiAg
close above the other, like two straight
~ gored founces. Above this is the
Jacket, cut just below the hips, the
Jacket and the center of each founce
trimmed with graduated bands Of vel
vet ribbon about an inch in width, ar
ranged in pyramidal form. The jacket
is single breasted, and has a high mill
tary collar. The material of this cos
tune is red serge, trimmed with black,
and the hat worn with it is black
toque, trimmed with wings or an al
grette.
