SIZE AND BRAINS.
There Is No Relation Between Intel.
ligence and Stature.

d., Charles i. Woodruff in Medical Record.
From Investigations among soldiers
ana from the literature of the subject
there is no doubt in my mind that il
mans development is so unstable
that he has psychical stgmata, ne is
invariably of bad physical development
and also and has numerous physica,
stigmata. AS far as / know, there ere
few, If any cases, of abnormal minds
in average bodies devoid of stlemata.
1t is fair inference, then, that if q
mans body is nearly an average in all
respects, height, weight, proportions,
etc, there must also be an average
brain, 'and, therefore, a normal mind
excluding, of course, normal men who
have acquired insanity, Beyond this
we dare not go, for there Is absolutely
no relation between intelligence and
stature. Men of genius may he big
like Bismarck or little like Napoleon or
DE Costa, and the same may bc said
Of the feeble minded as well as of
those of average intelligence. George
WashingtOns physical measurements
are said To have been identical with
these of Jcffrics, the giant puglist.
Other Illustrations might be given in

Ii Is true that the human brain
weight depends upon the body weight,
for many muscles require many brain
cells. In like manner the sparrow
needs but few grains of brain, while
the whale and the elephant must have
more than man. Yet that indescrib-
able and immeasurable variable called
intelligence depends upon other things
in addition To weight of brain, and the
increase of brain weight due to in
creased stature consists of tissue which
may not, and probably does not, have
any bearing upon Intelligence.
a big physique with immense reserve
power and endurance is a decided ele-
ment in forcing men to the front in
the struggle of life. This is in accord
ance with recent Investigations among
Chicago school children, which are said
to show that the best scholars In any
class are appreciably bigger than the
rest. Hence, other things being equal
the big men, having an advantage
should have a larger percentage of their
number successful than the little men.

MONTICELLO, ARKANSAS, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1901.
Claims He is Iunoeont,

R. c. Suddeth, a deputy United States marshal. has been removed from office and is under bond to an 5wer on the charge of impersonating a pension officer. Suddeth was arrest ed upon information furnished by a Mrs. Kymes, of Montgomery county, the widow of a federal soldier, who made application for a pension. The depositions were taken before Sud deth, then an acting notary public. Mrs. Kymes claims to have paid for this service shortly after her pension was allowed. Suddeth, it is alleged, put in a claim for services rendered aiding her in securing the pension. MT. Suddeth claims that he put in eight days work taking dispositions for Mrs. Kymes in her claim for a pension and that he considers his fee of $10 which is all he charged, very reasonable. He denies that there was anything at all irregular about the transaction with Mrs. Kymes.

DEPARTMENT STORE BURNED.
Costly Fire at Pittsburgh Pa.-A Score of Families Homeless
 and One Life Lost.

Pittsburgh, Pa, April 3O.-Fire at the corner of Carson and Seventeenth streets, south side, resulted in the loss of one life, property loss estimated at $225,O00, consumed over a dozen buildings and rendered a score of families homeless. The flames were discovered in the basement of the four-story department stores of George E. Lorsch X Bro., and in very short time the entire building was burning furiously. It was in ruins within 30 minutes. A panic ensued among the customers and employees, which resulted in what seemed at first well-founded report that eight persons had perished This was happi- ly untrue after the fire had been con trolled, the only fatality being the burning to death of Mrs. Kate Don 1ey's two-and- -a-half-year-old child When the fire broke out Mrs. Donley and child were on the fourth floor of the Lorsch building. In her haste to escape the mother fell on the stair way and was rendered unconscious. In the excitement the child was either forgotten or burned before aid could reach it.
