lone curious result of the short
ening Of the lower jaw is that there is
no longer sufficient room for all Of the
teeth which nature supplied. Conse-
quently the wisdom teeth are being
crowded out and, because they are no
longer wanted, they are being made OF
such poor material as to decay at once,

From this fact an inference has been
drawn, very absurdly, to the effect
that human beings will become tooth.

the slightest reason for anticipating
anything Of the kind. In the same
way it has been suggested that our

much indoors and wearing hats out Of
doors, out the absurd fashion Of the
nightcap affected by our ancestors had
much to do with it.:
The stature of the American is in
creasing-a remark which applies also
to other leading peoples of the world.
The everyday Yankee is too big for
the armor worn by the mail-clad hero
of medieval history-a fact which has
been proved by the simple process of
trying on the protective garments Of
old-time knights. The feats Of the
most famous athletes of antiquity are
outdone by our college boys. 1t is a
matter of common observation how
American women are increasing in
size, so as to vie with the men in
stature. There is every reason, [
think, to suppose that this physical
development will continue through
centuries to come, and the typical
Anglo-Saxon Of the future will be
taller, brawnier and more active than
his prototype Of to-day.
"a progressive development Of the
nerves is accompanying the physical
growth I have described, and this is
matter of no small Importance. 1t
may be said, indeed, that the progress
of people is measured by its advance
in this respect. Capacity for pleasure
and for pain increases markedly from
the dull savage to the vivacious eau
casian. I might carry the discussion
into various matters Of detail referring,
for example, tc the hand, which be-
comes more useful as the culture of a
race rises.
'Thus among whites the forearm is
better developed anatomically than
among negroes and Indians, and our
own hands are superior structurally to
those Of our grandparents. owing to
the circumstance that they are exer-
cised in greater variety Of ways.
"Our feet are getting smaller, owing
to the habit of wearing shoes, which
tends to reduce the foot to single
unit, as one might say. OF course,
the normal foot is 6vefold apparatus,
and has muscles for the separate con-
troll Of each of the toes. A man Who
goes barefoot habitually has control
over his toes that is unknown to us,
and the same principal is illustrated
by baby, which is able to pick up
objects actually with its toes. Thus
it would appear that the human foot,
contrary to the example of the hand,
is retrograding structurally and be-
coming hardly more than single claw,
so formed as to be walked upon.
Physical development and culture
go together. It is we'll known that a
Caucasian can do more work than any
savage. He is stronger, Aeetcr Of foot
and more enduring under stress of
labor or hardship. Furthermore, he
'recoyers from wounds and sicknesses
to which the savage succumbs. Com
parison Of longevity tables running
back to old Pompeii shows that we
live much longer than did the ancients
or even our own not distant ancestors,
and old age comes later. On the
whole, mankind is steadily developing
and improving in all directions, not
withstanding the disheartened howls
Of our pessimistic friends" /"

He Kept the Seat.

Il man who had not been to church
for very long time finally hardened
to the pcrsuasions of his wife, and de-
cided to go. He got the family all to-
getber and they started early. Ar
irving at the church there were very
few people in it, and no pew openers
at hand, SO the man led his family
we'll up the aisle and took possession
of nice pew.
Just as the service was about to be-
gin pompous-looking old man came
in, walked up to the door Of the pew
and stood there, exhibiting evident
surprise that it was occupied. The
occupants moved over and offered him
room to sit down, but he declined to
be seated. Finally the old man pro-
duced card and wrote upon it with
pencil
"I pay for this pew.
He gave the card to the strange oc-
cupant, who, had he been like most
people, would have at once got up and
left. But the intruder adjusted his
glasses and with smile read the card.
Then he calml ly wrote beneath 1t:

To this inquiry the pompous old
gentleman, still standing, wrote abb
ruptly:

TIE stranger smiled as though he
we're pleased, looked around to con-
pare the pew with others, admired its
nice cushions and furnishings and
wrote back:

stage collapsed into his seat.

love him and his cultured, consecrated

for sending these cody people to this
field, where they are so badly needed.
The results of the meeting are very sat

LESSONS, nineteen added by baptism,
two added by relation, and several restor-
ed. We have had in all thirty-two addi-

the best work ever done in Tazewell for

TROUSERS FOR GERMAN GIRLS
rbe Kaiser Did Not Object, But the
Durgomnster of Fischhauser
Was Shocked.

A contribution towards the question
of women's emancipation comes to the
Berlin Lokalanzeiger from Fischhaus-
er, a small village in East Prussia, says
the Chicago Tribune.
A 10-year-old girl there had been left
in sore straits through the death of her
father, who had been intrusted with.
the administration of an estate belongf
ing to the community. But she did not
despair.
Though only frail creature she sud-
denly developed an abundance of en-
ergy and resolved to earn her means of
living by following the same occupa-
ton as her father. AS step towards
the purpose she addressed letter to
the German emperor, asking to be al
lowed to wear mems clothes, which
would enable her to overcome all diff
culties.
The emperor's answer was encourage
ing enough: "She would be granted
the privilege of donning male attire
conditionally upon the assent of the
burgomaster of the village"
The girls hopes were high when she
went 10 see the village potentate to in
form him of the emperor's reply. But
they were doomed to failure, for, alas!
the burgomaster did not see his way to
grant her urgent request.
"He could not give his consent" he
explained, "to such a shocking thing,
which would be most dangerous to the
morals of the community over which
be had the honor to preside
