thlrty-SiX inches, and a weight of loo pounds
He is nearly an inch taller than his English
cousin. and more than inch taller than his

lighter build although he is probably heavy
as the average European.
His family consists of one wife and three chill

age Is thirty-seven years. and he expects to live
thirty years longer. His expectation of life is
greater by year or two than that of the rep

tureen filled with a soup specially prepared for
him, was always put before him. He took few

together with two lettuce leaves and one radish.
His dessert was four grapeS-neVer a single one
