NOTES ABOUT MANKIND.
Where Men Are Taller or Heavier
Than OtherS-Travels of
the Blood.

The average weight Of a man in the
latitude of New York is 40 pounds, of
a woman 1875.
The average height of Americans has
been about five feet seven inches for
men. five feet four for Women. The
average has unquestionably been low
cred by immigration Of small races,
like the Italian.
In Kentucky and Vermont andi in,
Minnesota. where most immigrants are
Scandinavians. the average height of
man is an inch or so greater.
Lunatics are smaller than sane peo-
pie. and are seldom fat, On the other
hand. centenarians are also generally
small-boned and lean.
The blood completes it's circuit
through the body in 22 seconds. and
in three minutes every drop passes
through the heart and lungs and is re-
vitaliZed.
Figure this out. A drop Of blood
will travel G1.320 miles Il year. In "a
years blood corpuscle would travel
5,150.8c8 miles.
For that matter, n reasonably active
man walks about 100000 miIeS--more
than ten times the earth's circum,

about his house and office.

SHOES FOR THE BOY.
The Boys F>nther Now Spared the
Trouble OF Remembering What
Size He Wears

"The boy" said the youngsters
father. according to the New York Sun,
goes through pair of shoes in two
weeks; they will stand resoling once;
so have occasion TO communicate with
the store where | buy his shoes twice
II month; 12 times a year to buy new
shoes. and IL times to carry q pair to be
repaired.
My memory is not the best ever was,
and couldn't always remember what
size shoes the boy wore; so I'd have to
ask lis mother when | went 10 order a
Eair. but now l don't have any more
trouble of that sort. I've had nv name
put down on the list that is kept by the
salesman in charge of the department
OF boys shoes where go.
1T has the names of hundreds of bows
on his list. with the name and address
of The parents. and nobody ever has to
bother 10 remember the size shoes worn
Gy any of those boys-they're all down
on the list. The boys foot is fitted right
to start with. and the size is put down
with his name, and there's nothing
more TO do about that until his foot has
grown so that it needs to be refitted.
All that's necessary to do in ordinary
shoes for any of them is to say send
pair of shoes for William. or John. or
james. or Charles. as the case NAV be,
not even specifying the kind unless
shoes different from those ordinarily
worn are wanted; and the same gu %
serves also in the purchase of overshoes
and other footwear"

A Learned Working Ea1ser.

A working baker has just convinced
the savants of Paris that there Is no
royal road to learning. He has been
awarded diploma Of the Ecole du
Louvre for successful thesis on the
book Of Daniel. IL fell 10 NJ. Ledrain,
professor Of the Ecolc du Louvre. and
NJ. Oppert. member Of the institute, to
examine the thesis. and they and 9TH
ers had to confess that the baker's
knowledge Of Hebrew was profound
and accurate. So brilliant. indeed, is
the thesis that an effort will be made
TO interest the state in its publication.
NJ. Gale. the name Of this scholar in
humble life. has ceased TO make rolls
lie has become a corrector for the I'm
primerie Nationale. and IL is expected
that he will save even the most learned
from making blunders in their books.

TACOMA. April s.--The Tacoma wheat
warehouses cont ain about suD. 00o bushels OF
wheat still owned by Eastern Washington
farmers. The farmers are storing their
grain In anticipation Of . rise In price dur
Ing the next month or 70. They have paid
storage and insurance charges. besides In
OF local warehouse men and wheat dealers,
the amounts No borrowed running up to -
per cent. OF the present value OF the grain.
Some difference OF opinion exists as 10
whether the farmers Will reap the benefit
Of All advance in wheat prices. II Is gen.
orally agreed that prices Will go up, but.
or the other hand. charter rates have adj
vanced to such an extent within the last
two weeks that II seems probable that the
sh,powners rather than the wheat growers
wifi be chiefly beUefted by the prospective
advance.
prominent exporter says tonight that
he cannot buy wheat al the present prices
and ship II to Europe al the present char
ter rates for the price the grain win bring
there. This gentleman believes the farm
er. have waited too long To secure the
dealers, on he contrary. are of the opinion
that the producers viii yet make hand
some proift as result Of storing their
grain. X II generally conceded among the
dealers that not very large quantity OF
wheat remains In Eastern Washington.
The farmers have preferred to ship II 10
seaboard warehouses. where they can
quickly realize on IL when prices take
favorable turn.
The miliers Of the state have varying
amounts OF wheat on hand. hui thai they
