Forty and a half" sung out the
cutter of Chestnut street tailoring
firm as he passed the tape across q
customers chest. Thirty eight was
registered when the measure girded
the customers waist. and then the
cutter stepped back and sized up the
patrons height as compared with
that of the salesman who was record
ing the measurements. Your weight
is 165 pounds" he said zone sixty

being measured for a coat. "How did
you guess it?" mo guesswork about

with that of the salesman here, who l
know is feet eight inches TALL. You
are about two inches taller, or saT,
3 feet 10 inches. With chest and
waist measurement and mans
height figured out. I can come within
a pound or two of his weight every
time, as nv close estimate of your
avoirdupois proves. OF course, there
are exceptions. notably the man with
the very slim waist and wide should

The crowded condition of tho more
populous sections cf large cities we
have been accustomed to VIC With
a measure or horror. The density Of
population in London. P2"ia. Berlin
and other cities of the old world is de-
scribed in many voluminors trcGtises
respecting the problems they present.
But it is becoming apparent that we
are in danger of like conditions in
our American centres. l have Just
seen a chart showing that in New
York there is an average Of nearly 10
persons to q dwelling. In Hobohen the
average is between 12 and 13. in Fall
River from II to -. in Jersey City,
Chicago and Boston between eight and
nine. This chart represents the cen,
sus 10 years ago and when one takes
into consideration the number OF
dwellings in which only two or three
persons live the average is much
larger and more serious. The prob
lem has become almost universal. for
at the same time. thanks to modern
Improvement and rapid transit. more
fortunate families are gravitating to
the suburbs. The others. of course,
less fortunate. have to remain in the
crowded and ever crowding sections.
Manhattan's present average of dwell
ers to dwelling is estimated to be
20 persons, which is simply ruinous
from the standpoint Of good health or
of sound morals.- -Ballington Booth,

used by Hundreds of Thousands in
Spring as Blood Medicine.

Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is indeed THE - crld's Great
Spring Medicine. 1t has come to he
recognized by almost everybody as the
pest possible spring medicine to take,
ana hundreds of thousands of our
people use it during the trying spring
months, to tone up anew the relaxed
nerves and re-invigorate and enrich
the blood.
A spring medicine is a necessity IL
one wishes to keep in perfect health
ana Vlgor during the changes from
WINTER TO summer. This grand spring
tonic, this perfect spring medicine, DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, is exactly what the system
needs at this season. 1t not only
purlfies, but makes rich, red blood: 1t
not only strengthens and invigorates
the nervous system, but re-energizes
and revitalizes the nerves by feeding
them with renewed nerve force and
power. 1t is not only an aid to diges-
uon, but it creates regular, natural
and healthy action Of the bowels, liver.
Kidneys, which in the spring are al
ways sluggish and inactive.
IN fact, it is just what people need
to make them well and keep them well
during these months, so threatening
to the health of all. and when it is con-
sldered that DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy is made en-
tirely from pure, health-giving vege-
table remedies, and that people give
1t more testimonia.: OF cure than any
other remedy on earth, no one can
doubt that it is the very best spring
remedy for everybody to use.

SIN Host of Wild Catlle-

Celebes has the distinction of being
the home of the smallest living repre-
sentative Of the wild cattle, or indeed
of the wild cattle of any period of the
earth's history, for no equally diminu-
tive fossil member of the group ap-
pears to be known to science An
idea OF the extremely diminutive pro-
portions OF the anoa, or sapi-utan. as
the animal in question is respectively
called by the inhabitants of Celebes
and the Malays, may be gained when
it is stated that its height at the
shoulder is only three feet four inches,
whereas that of the great Indian wild
inches, and may, according to some
writer's, reach as much as seven feet.
In fact, the anoa is really not much,
if at all, larger than a well-grown
Southdcwn sheep, and scarcely ex-
ceeds in this respect the little domes-
ticated Bramini cattle shown a few
years ago at the Indian exhibition
held at Earl's court.
The anoa has many OF the char
acteristics Of the large Indian buffalo,
but its horns are relatively shorter,
less curved, and more upright. In
this, rs we'll as in certain other re-
spects, it is more like the young than
the adult of the last-named species,
and, as young animals frequently
show ancestral features which are
gradually lost as maturity is approach
ed, it would be a natural supposition
that the anoa is a primitive type Of
buffalo.-London knowledge.

WHIPPED THE WHOLE SCHOOL.
An Incident of Early Days in the History
of Missouri.

A group of teachers who attended
the recent meeting of the Northwest
Missouri Teachers association in st.
Joseph were discussing in the hearing
of a local newspaper man the great
changes that had taken place during
the last few years in the manners and
customs prevalent in the district of
country schools. Much of the rowdy-
ism that formerly was such a promi-
nent Ceature in some OF the schools in
remote settlements has entirely disap-
peared and as rule the pupils are as
well behaved and conduct themselves
in as tecoming manner as they do in
the cities. One of the teachers-a Mr..
S.-related an experience that he had
a number of years ago in one of the
southern counties of Missouri. The
school to which he had been appoint
ed Tor the winter was one of the
toughest in the country. The teacher
during the previous winter had been
thrown badly out of the school one
day by the pupils and was compelled
to resign.
Mr.. S. resolved that nothing OF that
kind should occur during his admins
trauon and from the first he ruled

Fresh EmbrOyo Makes Old Wheat Grow.

The statement has frequently been
made that it is possible to cause grains
of wheat found in ancient Egyptian
sepulchers to germinate and grow. This
statement has been disputed, and the
question was discussed at a recent meet
ing OF the French Academy OF Sciences.
It was shown that while the albumen OF
wheat found in 4 tomb 6,ooo years old
lad undergone no alteration, the en-
ryo was changed and could not be
'aused to germnate. But fresh en-
ryo placed in the ancient albumcn
would grow, and this fact, it was said,
probably accounted for the statement
hat the old Egyptian wheat rescued
rom its long entombment would sprout
md grow.-Y outh's Companion.

west; she has not always been andprob
ably will not always be, but how long
may we expect this support from pro
ducing oil belt? Let us look back a
little again and see If the work is com
pleted. and as this has been review of
the last ten years, let us see when most
of the work was done.
The deep drilling back of Newport
was done soon after 1890. Archersfork a
little later. Eight Mile was begun
about 1890. but has been continued TO
the present date. Newells Run almost
the same. Sand Hill was begun In 1894
or 1896. but has been continued to the
present date. The work near the
County House has been done the last
two ~ears. Four-fifths of the work in
tie Lowell field proper has been done
in the last three years. The little field
above Rainbow is only about eight
months old. Four-fifths of the work
about Moore's Junction has been done
in the last three years. Four-fifths of
Chestelhill hes been done in the last
two years. Just one year ago this
week the first well on the Yarnell farm
was drilled and before 1900 had died,
she had placed to her credit 100000
barrels of oil.
But the best illustration of what the
operators Of today are doing is on the
old Joy farm, in Morgan county, where
operations begun in 1860 Less than
one year ago the property showed
daily guage of little less than so bar
rels, but by careful drilling, (what
mean by this is, not allowing a dry
hole to condemn too much) they have
found new productions, until their
daily production is above $50 barrels.
This is to show what can be done in
territory that has for a long time been
considered worthless. and all these
facts when they are carefully consider
ed show lis that we have not reached
the highest point of production in
Washington county and vicinity. In
fact new pools and extensions of pools
will be found for years to come and i
think at the present rate of develop
ment our county will continue to in
crease her production for ten years
more. But even with decrease of oil
in Washington county, Marietta need
not cease to be an oil center; the coun-.
ties of Morgan, Athens, Vinton and
Meigs will come in in time and with
our supply of supply houses, machine
shops and unexcelled shipping facili-
ties will still give Marietta the lead of
any city that may attempt to become a
rival. So it behooves us to do just as
we have done. Work shoulder to
| shoulder Have faith in our city, and

a century over a rich pool of oil pray.

up, and what Marietta has done in the
last ten years will not be half of what
she will do in the next decade.
