GERMAN BLONDES.
They Form the Largest Per Cent, of
the Types of Germany's
POpuIa ton.

The German Anthropologjcal society
has been engaged in recent years in col
lecting statistics relative to the COM
parative frequency of the blonde and
brunette types and their distribution
through the German empire,
The results are of interest as givin g
evidence of the original sources of the
population in various sections. The OBJ
servations were confined to school chill
dren, 100000 of whom have been exam
tned.
For purposes of classification only
those that had blue eyes and fair hair
and skin ere counted as blondes, and
those whose eyes, hair and skin were
all dark, as brunettes.
All others (for example, children with
dark eyes and light hair or with blue
eyes and dark hair and skin( were put
in a third or mixed" class.
In the empire as. a whole the blondes
were found to number 31.8 per cent,
the brnnettes. IA peg cent, and the
mixed types, 54.2 per cent In some dis,
tricts the preponderanee of the blonde
element was much more mark ed-espe-
cially in a part of the Grand Duchy of
Oldenburg. where there were only four
per cent of pure brunettes.
The effect of the brunette, Roman ele-
ment was distinctly marked in the
southern and southwestern parts of the
empire. Near Worms and Speyer, in
deed, one often sees faces which strong
ly suggest those of central Italy or Ro-
man statues and paintings.
Yet streaks of blonde preponderance,,
apparently marking the paths of Ger
manic migration, were traced up to the
italian frontier

FINDS GREAT VEIN OF MICA
DIR. w. e. Nichols, of Indiana, Makes
Important Discovery in Brit
ish Columbia.

DIR. w. E. Nichols, of Huntingdon,
Ind, is back from British Columbi
where at the head waters Of the Peace
river, he discovered great vein of
mica. DR.. Nichols in 1897 penetrated
1,7O0 miles into the unexplored north.
He cured the Indians with his medi-
cines, and they in gratitude told him
of gold deposits. He made his way
across mountains, and ON the slope Of
one ran across this great vein of mica.
The next year he went in again with a
partner, c. W. Norris, of Chicago, and
staked off claims. He and Norris have
brought with them five tons of mica,
valued at over 100000. They claim
they can produce cubes Of mica four
feet square. Heretofore the largest
sheets have been N ensured in inches.
The doctor will claim the prize of
$50 offered by the British govern
ment for a piece of mica four feet
square. He says his sheets can be used
for glass in locomotives and on battle
ships The vibrations of the gun firing
always skaters glass, and the navies
of the world will want his mica sheets.

Hundreds of thousands Of dollars has

era and roup, and is excellent for gapes
Do your fowls suffer from violent diar-
rhoea, dropping of the wings, stupor or
excessive thirst? These are the first
symptoms Of cholera. Cholera is a
germ disease and being infectious
spreads rapidly through the entire
flock. Take time by the forelock;
don't stop to experiment with unreli-
able or untried remedies. Use this
mixture at once and the sanitary
measures they recommend in connec-
ton. Don't give the fowls ap. Chol-
era is terrible disease, but this rem
edy cures it every time. 1t is also
guaranteed for roup. which can be
told by hoarse breathing, sv&1ollen eyes,
discharge at the nostrils, rese milling

any case the Mixture will not cure.
If some of your fowls are diseased it
prevents the rest from catching it.
Try it. 1t is, cheap, reliable and eff

In speaking of Senator John G.
sEpooner, The Boston Herald says:
-s'Here is a frst-class senator, who is
more likely, If he is continued in his
position, to take the place Of Mr..
Hoar, when he re: Tres, than anyone.
Mr. Spoon4r is not strictly new
senator, however, having served one
term previously, and failed OF re-
election. He is fine lawyer, and ex
cellently adapted to parliamentary
work on the floor. Mr.. Spooner
takes much interest in the proceed
Ings there, and with the alienation Of
Hoar from his party projects ha
at present exists, has become the
aeader Of his party in general debate,
more even than Mr.. Foraker, who has
charge of its specific colonial me IS
ures. We are inclined to assign him
the place as the coming man in the
senate above all others in any party.
He takes, by force of talent and
sound judgment, the position that the
older Republican senator's thought
they saw being aspired to without
the necessary qualifications for it,
by Senator Beveridge."

TIE Republican policies of protec-
ton and sound money have once
more been put to the test of practice
and have demonstrated in operation
their efficiency in promoting the well
fare of the whole people. Once more,
then, we enter campaign in which
the voters will be confronted by a
condition in opposition to theory
A widespread prosperity prevails in
the land, and every form of industry
rs benefited by it. That prosperity is
guaranteed by the legislation of the
land, which protects it from the tink-
ering and the laundering of incom Pc
tent and discontinued politicians.
So long as the government is in safe
hands, SO long will the welfare of the
people be preserved, but it would not
take the Bryanites long to precipi-
tate period of financial disaster,
industrial depression and Commercial
stagnation. The very menace of a
free silver act would send gold into
retirement, suddenly restrict the cur.
rency and plunge the nation into a
state of confusion in comparison
with which the disasters of the Will
son tariff would seem like good times.

IDEA TOO ORIGINAL
The Mayor Suggested That the Towns
Vixitors Climb the New Stand
pipe for Entertainment

In one of the towns of the upper,
peninsula they were preparing to en-.
tertain a delegation of eastern capital,
lists. many of them accompanied by
wives and families, who were prospect
ing for investments in mining, railroad
and other enterprises. At the meeting
to- make arrangements for the recep-
tlon the new mayor presided. He had
ideas of his own, says the Detroit jour
nal, and evidently thought that his Off
eial position entitled him to settle any
disputed question. After several plans
had been suggested, he took the floor.
Gentlemen" said his honor, what
insist upon is something original and
something that these people will al
ways recall as having happened right
here. Our neighbors in the east
dropped them few thousand feet into
a copper mine; our rival city to the
north drove them six miles to see the
water works; at that struggling little
burg west of us they gave them chance
to blister their faces over the red sand
stone quarries. We're no imitators.
What l propose is that we let them
climb, one at time, to che top of that
new standpipe of ours. They'll know
we're up to date on our fire department
and they'll get a splendid view Of the
surrounding country"
And it took the leading men of both
parties to get the mayors consent to
another programme.

ORGANISE AN AUTOCRAT.
No One Must Dare to Cr1tictse That
FunctiOnary's Part of the
Church Service.

If there ever is any trouble in the
congregation about the music, and if
the minister ever worries himself, it
is admitted at once that the congre-
cation and the minister are alone to
blame, writes Ian Maclaren in Ladies'
Home Journal. But there are other
difficulties, and they may be men
toned in a spirit of becoming humil-
ity. For one thing, the organist is an
artist, and every artist has a nature
of special refinement which cannot
bear the rough-and-tumble ordinary
methods of life. With man Of
common clay you deal in practical,
straightforward and even brutal
fashion. arguing with him, complain
ing to him. md putting him right
when he is WI c1g. But no man must
handle precious porcelain in such fash
ion, or the artist will be instantly
wounded and will resign and carry his
pathetic story to every quarter, for,
as rule, the organist thinks that he
is lifted above criticism and public
opinion. 1t is impossible to teach
him anything; it is an insult to sup
pose that anything could be better
than the music he provides.

A SINGULAR WILL.
The Testatrix Makes Some Queer
Provisions for the Disposition
of Her Body.

The will of the late Mrs. Pauline Less,
says the st. Louis Post-Dispatch, is an
interesting document. The command
given in the opening paragraph reIa-
tive to the disposition of the body of
the testatrix after death is as follows:
Immediately upon my death notice
thereof shall be given to the president
of Miriam lodge and Adolrh Resen-
trater. The latter shall perform the flu
neral services and be paid SIS therefor,
and he shall also telegraph information
of my death to Jerusalem and also al
low only such persons who do not touch
fire on Saturdays to stay and watch over
my remains. The latter are to be paid
a reasonable compensation therefor out
of my estate. The sand which / got
from Jerusalem and is now in my trunk
shall be laid on my face. My coffin shall
be of rough lumber and my clothing
shall be divided by my executor among
poor and needy persons"
The testatrix directs that suitable
grave be purchased for her and that a
monument, the maximum cost of which
shall be 800, be erected over her head.
She gives to the president of the He
brew school at Eleventh and Carr
streets 5000, in consideration of which
Kodesch Ga Hebrew prayer shall be
offered three times daily at his school
for one year.
After these requests are paid the
testatrix gives the remainder of her
property in equal shares to her five chill
dren. She names Benjamin Burenstein
as her executor and requests that he be
not required to give bond.

MEDAL OF HONOR.
Few People Would Know the Rare
Decoration of Congress III
They Saw 1t.

The medal of honor granted by con-
gress for some conspicuous act of gall
lantry is so rare that hundreds of Off
GERS have never even seen it, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The bow knot worn in the button
hole in lieu of the medal goes unrec-
ognized, except by the very few. The
medal is of black bronze, and is often
mistaken for the grand army insignia,
the latter having been patterned after
it to a certain degree. til much larger
than the latter, and on the reverse side
is engraved the name, rank, date and
the battle in which the service was rem
dered, and the specific act Of heroism
for which it was given. The medal is
only worn on state occasions, but the
bow lmot is always worn. 1t Is a small
affair, with it's specific ribbon. 1t is
Of silk, white stripe in center, Dor
dered by two blue stripes, which are
bordered by two red stripes. 1t is an
inch In length and three-eighths Of
an inch wide. The little emblem shows
that the wearer has received from this
government the highest honor that can
be conferred upon man. The secretary
of war recently issued an order, after a
conference with the executive commit
tee of the Medal Of Honor Legion, that
hereafter on all official occasions, recep-
tons, banquets, ETC., the congressional
medal Of honor will be worn resting on
the breast and suspended by the broad
official ribbon of the order around the
neck
