Making children Grow.

The question has often been asked
rs there any method by which low
sized persons can become taller?" and
up to the present the answer has al
most invariably been in the negative.
Now, however, a distinguished French
specialist assures us that if proper
steps be taken at the proper time per-
SONS who would otherwise be Of less
than moderate stature can be, so to
speak, forced upward to a normal
height. This specialist is DIR. Springer,
who is the guiding spirit of the lab
oratory of the Faculty of Medicine in
Paris, and his views on this subject are
clearly set forth by DR.. Cabanes in
an article which appears in the current
number of the Revue des Revues.
With the object Of artiicially increas-
ing the height of human beings. DR..
Springer recently made several expert
ments in Paris, the main reason which
impelled him to do so being the dis
covery of the rather startling fact that
the stature of French men and women
has for some time been steadily de-
creasing. The latest statistics bear
ample testimony in this direction, and.
furthermore, they show that, while
the average stature has decreased in
France, it has increased in Russia. DR..
Springer's first experiments were made
on dogs. Being satisfied that proper
food would work wonders in the de-
sired direction he experimental on
several puppies, giving to some ordi-
nary food and care and to other spe-
cial food and novel hygienic treat
ment. The result was that in the case
of the latter there was an increase OF
growth, or stature, varying from six
to eight centimetres. How remarkable
this was will be seen when it is stated
that during the same time the growth
Of the other puppies was only in
creased from two to four centimetres.
These experiments satisfied DR..
Springer of one fact-namely, that
salts, used in solution with cereals that
are being prepared as food, produce a
powerful and beneficial effect on the
bony system Of animals. He also
points out that the cereals which are
prepared as food should always be
fresh, and that the food, after being
prepared, should be Used as soon as
possible.

The Ottoman Empire One of tho Richie
r

The ottoman Empire One of tho Riches
Countries in the World.
The Ottoman empire is, in potential
resources, probably the richest country
in the world next to the United States,
says Golfers Weekly. For years
American and Turkish statesmen have
been ~endeavoring with all their power
to foster what little trade their coun-
tries have, and to create new trade
channels to commercially eonnect the
republic and the empire. These en-
deayors have already borne good fruit,
and the future possibilities in that d.
rection are infinite. The mutual rela-
tions of commerce amount already to
millions, and it would be most unfor-
tunate that an untoward event should
disturb in their growth these promis-
ing shoots of trade, and bring about a
cs~.rust which would cause the orig
mating of new branches of trade to be
made impossible for many years to
come. The feeling of fellowship among
nations is to a large extent sentiment
tai, especially when there is no posi-
bic point of hostile contact. The
Turks have been educated to know
that there is a great free nation far in
the west, foremost in all the endeavors
OF commerce, industry and technical
invention-a nation to whom they
could without any fear entrust the
development of their magnificent re-
sources.

and she was not unhappy. Like most
poets, Mrs. Moulton began to write
when she was very young, and she was
but Is years Of age when she wrote
for a composition in school a poem
that her teacher could hardly believe
was original, and he detained her
after school to ask if she had really
written the poem. When IA years old
she sent a little poem to a local news
paper and for the first time saw her
own lines in print. No lines of hers
that appeared in after years in the
great magazines and that brought her
praise from Longfellow and Holmes
and Browning and Matthew Arnold
ever gave Mrs. Moulton the peculiar
thrill of delight she felt on seeing her
first lines in that little village news
paper. Only once in a lifetime can one
experience the delight of seeing ones
first literary effort in print.
When Is years old the young Con-
necticut poet brought out a small vol
ume of the stories, poems and sketches
she had had published in various pc
riodicals up to that time. Some of
these poems and stories had appeared
In the Boston True Flag, then edited
by William v. Moulton. who had be-

1855. From that time until now Mrs.
Moulton has lived in Boston, with the

abroad.

An Armenian and a Kurd had quar-
relied over the ownership of a tobacco
box. AS their language grew more

pute. The Kurd had picked up the box
in the street and the Armenian de-
clared it was his. When they werl
about to come to blows a policeman
came up and tried to effect a compro-
mise, but neither disputant would give
way. At last the Armenian suggested
that the Kurd should be asked to de-
clare what was in the box. The Kurd
promptly answered Tobacco and Gig

ly informed the officer that all the boz
contained was a 25-cent piece. The
policeman gravely opened the mysteri-

with the air of a Solomon, said: "'The

finest in South Dakota. Miss Howard
is we'll known in official and social
circles in Washington and New York.
She went to Dakota in 1887 and estab-
lished an Indian mission school sew
cnteen miles north of Chamberlain, on
the Crow Greek and Winnebago Indian
reservation. After the first two years
this school. which had been named
Grace mission, was transformed into
a government contract school. In the
charging and expanding of the school
she always received every encourage
ment from the officials of the Indian
bureau in Washington. Her contract
with the government did not expire
until June. 1897, but early in that year,
at the solicitation of friends, she de-
cided to withdraw from the manage
D1ent OF the school. The bitter fight
waged in congress at that time against
contract schools had considerable in
huence in her decision. She informed
the Indian Office that IL the govern
ment was willing to buy her school
she was willing to sell. Special Agent
Slater OF the Indian department was
sent to investigate, and as the result
OF his report the government paid Miss
Howard a satisfactory price for her
interest in the school.
Shortly after retiring from the
school Miss Howard purchased a cat
tie ranch on the White river, and mas
since been engaged in cattle raising.
m addition to looking after her ranch,

One Design of a Lunatlo Brought Him
"a Handsome Fortune.
Until quite lately there lived a luna
tic in Wellesley asylum, who turned
out a round dozen of inventions dur
ing his ten years stay in the place, and
some of them were really good and
useful, says a London paper. One was
a new style of ships anchor, which
holds twice as fast as the old kind, and
can be trusted never to foul it's chain
or otherwise go wrong. The inventor
had been q tailor before losing his
balance, and knew nothing OF ships
and anchors. But he drew the dia-
grams and made the models for this
fruit of his disordered brain, and one
day a man who visited him and saw
the plans was greatly taken with them
He obtained permission, patented and
put the anchor on the market. 1t was
favorably received and at the end Of
two years the invention had brought
him $4,000. Half of this the capital
list who had marketed the anchor gave
to the two daughters of the mailman,
who were alive and sane. During the
rest of the Inventors life the anchor
brought in enough to pay for his
maintenance and keep his two daugh-
ters in easy circumstances. He in
vented other useful things, including a
new kind Of corkscrew and a folding
chair.
