CONSTITUTION WINS.
Though by Only Four Minutes,
While the Columbia Suffered a
MIshap That Cost Her Five.

Mishap That Cost Her Five.
Newport, r. l.. Aug. 10.-Boat for
boat, the amended Constitution beat the
Columbia to-day by four minutes and
nine seconds. 1t was a hard hammer
to windward and return in an eighteen
knot breeze. The new Herreshoff rae
er, in fine form, did wonderfully WELL
but the result was not altogether salts
factory as a test of relative speed he
cause fifteen minutes after the start
the Columbia suffered mishap which
cost her all of five minutes and in the
Judgment of most good yachtsmen the
race. Her bowsprit shrouds were found
to be too long. AS the wind freshened
and she lay over at a big angle. the
big stick which they supported buckled
dangerously, so that 1t was necessary
to luff her into the wind to take in
the slack of the stays.
At the same time her steering gear
was useless for some minutes while
she was jumping in the seas and she
yawed about almost helpless. Repairs
were made with remarkable speed and
skill and she was sent away again,
but we'll astern of her rival, for the
Constitution had passed her and taken
commanding position on the weather
bow of the unfortunate boat. The Con-
stitution rounded the outer mark two
minutes ahead, having gained in
elapsed time two minutes and fourteen
seconds in the fifteen-mile beat to
windward.
on the run in, which was made with
spinnakers and balloon jibs, the new
boat came like a race horse and made
q gain of one minute and fifty-five sec
onds more. Both boats were handled
admirably.

SPIRIT OF COMPROMISE.
Prevails at the Meeting of Ministers
at PeI<in.

Pekin, Aug. 1O-A spirit of compro-
mise characterized the meeting of the
ministers to-day, and the foreign rep
resentatives are hopeful of the signing
of the settlement protocol in a few
days after telegraphic communication
with their governments.
The tariff will become effective two
months after the signing of the agree
ment. 1t was agreed to-day that ship
ments made within ten days after the
signing should not be affected by the
new rates regardless of the date of
their arrival. The tariff will be 8
per cent. ad valorem with few excep-
tions. A majority of foodstuffs, in
Guiding flour and rice, will pay 10 per
cent. The tariff, coupled with the aboll-
ton of the ii kin tax, will probably be
the subject of future negotiations.

1t would seem that firstborn children
excel later born children in height and
weight. This may be due to the great
er yigor of the mother ut the birth Of
the first child.
In England it was found that growth
degenerates as we go lower IN the So
cial scale. there being a difference OF
even iive inches in height between the
best and worst fed classes in the COM
munity.
An investigation of 10000 children in
Switzerland showed that children born
IN summer are taller for their age than
those born IN winter. AS II majority OF
children In the public schools are poor.
In winter their parents are forced TO
economize more on account Of expense
of heating. Their rooms are also liable
TO be small and poorly ventilated while
IN summer they are out IN the fresh air.
5ood is also cheaper and more varied.
The influence Of unhealthy conditions
on very young child would be much
greater than when 1t Is older and better
