DECLINE OF JOHN BULL.
overwork and Undertaking is Ruin
ing the British Physique.

The topic of our physical decline is
one which from time to time crops up
on the surface of both scientific ana So
cial affairs. The influence of city life and
of sedentary occupation was discussed
years ago by DR.. Miner Fothergill and
by Mr.. James Camille. Their views were
to the effect that a slow but sure pro-
cess of decline in physique awaits the
city-bred unit, and that his chances OF
survival practically depend upon the con-
slant infusion of new blood which comes
into towns from rural districts. 1t was
Mr.. Camille, l fancy, who asserted that
it was rare to find third generation of
the thoroughbred COCkuey.
The latest deiverance on this highly
important topic comes from Sir James
Crichton Browne NJ. D. Speaking as
president of the medical section of the
International Congress for the Welfare
and Protection of Children. Sir James
gave some interesting figures relative to
the decadence exhibited in certain class
es of young operatives: His staustlcs
were cuiled from Dundee. There it Is
found that boys from II to l. years old
who work in the jute mills and who
should measure 4 feet IL inches, accord
ing to the standard. attain an average
height of 4 feet 2 inches only. They
should weigh u pounds, but Of this this
girls also are 11-2 inches less than the
normal. and fall pounds below the
standard weight.
Sir John Crichton Browne also asserted
in connection with his remarks on our
decadence, that 80 per cent. of us are
underfed. Despite the influx of the coun-
try-bred into towns, decay of physique
continues. for of our population Il per
cent are own-dwellers. Sir James came
down very heavily indeed on the lack
of maternal interest exhibited. Children
he says, are not properly nourished.
Those of the poor are badly fed. and
well-to-do mothers delegate the duties
of maternity to feeding bottles and
French maids I do not think Sir James
opinions are likely to be seriously dis
puted. Psychologists know that the nu-
triton of children today is not what it
ought to be, and if plenty of food be
forthcoming, as often as not it is not of
the proper kind or quality for the ade-
quate nourshmeht of the growing body.
Counteracting tendencies to the progress
of decay in our physique are, however.
to be noted in the spread of athleticism
among our youth. Cricket football, and
the like must surely produce a certain
Improbable effect in building up sound
bodies, only in order that the bodies may
benefit therefrom we first of all demand
that the frame must be properly nOur-
ished to start with. At least, Sir. j.
Crichton Browne has done public service
in directing attention to what is nothing
short of grave national question.

Women Warriors.

The muster rolls of the civil war show
a number of cases of soldiers who were
discovered to be women.
One of the most remarkable women
warriors was Christian Cavenagh. who
lived in England in the nineteenth CEN
fury. She was married and had three
children. Her husband was carried off
to Holland. where he had to enlist as d
private soldier. His wife dressed as a
man and enlisted so as to be near her
husband, She was wounded by the SFrench
and carried to St. Germain-e Laye, where
she remained until she was exchanged.
Then she quareled and fought a duel with
her sergeant and was transferred to an
other regiment Again she was wounded
at Families. when her secret was dis
covered, She was, however permitted to
remain with the regiment as a cook.
Many English officers recall the case
of DIR. James Barry This woman
served in the British army about fifty
years ago as surgeon at the Cape at
Malta and at Barbados. At the Cape
he fought duel with an officer who
had called him woman.
Mrs. Lindley. the wife of "A soldier.
went through some of the sharpest en-
gagements of the civil war. She enlisted
in Company D. 9Th Ohio Cavalry. and
fought at Fort Magruder Hanover Court
house, Bull Run, Antietam and Boones-
horo. She is said to he still living and
is the mother of several children.
Christina, Queen of Sweden, was edu-
Gated and dressed like a boy from her
birth because her father was disappointed
at not having son. She was more
king than queen. and after four years
of rule resigned her crown and went off
to amuse herself in foreign lands She
was dressed in mans clothes and acted
as uproariouSly as any man who ever
owned his clothes by right of sex. She
was only IS at the time.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2o.-The cotton market
opened firm. 2a3 points higher active buy
ing for both accounts, led by prominent snort
interests and the Wall Street bull sentiment.
1t was seen that Liverpool fully responded l.,
the frmness in the local market of the pre-
Nious day and that the high temperatures in
the western belt continued general, leading t.
fresh expressions of alarm from that quar-
ter. Orders from southern Europe and spot
cotton interests nearly all went to the hong
side and following the call the tendency of the
market was quite steadily upward on shorts
from all branches of the trade. There was
healthy growth in public operations and
the bull faction gave no sign CT turning for
profits. The private crop reports were ve,y
unsatisfactory as a general thing and demand
for spot cotton in the South was officially
s."wn to be increasing. The receipts were
larger. but had been discounted to great
degree Later cables from Liverpool reflected
changing sentiment in that market where the
bears for some time past have stubbornly re-
sisted al! efft rts from this side to bring about
a higher market During the afternoon the
market ruled firm in the absence of urgent
selling pressure apd on fair bull support just
before the close when many of the smaller
holders made a quick turn to secure profits.

port resulted in a reaction of 3M4 points,
