The increase OF stature among the
japanese is very perceptible, and the
substitution of tepld and even cold
water for the hot baths among many
Of the people is responsible for an in
creasing florldity of the complexion,
says Chambers's Journal. Before the
advent Of military discipline On Eu-
ropean models the japanese were nota-
bly, the smallest necled race in the
world, firm OF London collar makers
with Il large trade to Japan asserting
that thirteen inches was the normal
circumference of full-grown Jap's
throat. In little over twenty years,
owing to more athletic development,
the average has risen an inch and Il
half! To athletic development should
also be added greater avoirdupois, mas
much as a more generous diet and alb
stention from parboiling is bringing its
reward in an accumulation OF muscle
and tissue.

THAT GOOSE WAS COSTLY.
Alabama Spectators in Cotton Pay Dear-
ly For Their Credulity.

ly For Their Credulity.
There is an old saying about ''the
goose hangs high" but the saying has
been changed a little in Selma, anG
they now say that 1.-The goose came
high" Last Saturday week ago Mr.
Watt Craig killed q wild goose of The
pelican variety and took it to the city.
1t was the finest goose of that kind
that had been killed in Selma in sew
enteen years, and old weather proph-
cts predicted at once that the South
was on the eve of cold snap, as that
kind OF goose never made its appear
ance until about two days before a
tremendous frost or a freeze.
This particular goose was discussed
around Cotton Exchanges, and good
many men worked themselves up into
believing the story. They argued to
themselves that il cold spell should
come in the next two or three days,
the price of cotton would jump clear
out Of sight, and they would reap q
rich harvest on the strength of that
goose.
Men who are disposed to speculate
do not want very much encourage
ment to wade in, so they commenced
to buy cotton, and pretty soon the
infection spread, all on account of this
one wild goose. But the weather
turned warmer instead Of colder, the
heat became oppressive, the dust got
denser, and cotton took tumble and
kept going down. The men who had
bought cotton on the wild goose the
DRY kept getting bluer and bluer, and
a well-informed cotton man said that
Watt Craig's wild goose cost Selma
cotton spectators not less than $4,000.
One man remarked that the next
man who came around telling n yarn
about a wild goose making it turn
cold was going to get first-class
scrap on his hands, and that If such q
man should go around the Cotton Ex
change he would be liable to be tarrel
ard feathered, If he escaped with his
life. The predicted cold spell came,
and rot until the money of the believ-
ers in the wild goose theory had taken
wings and flown to parts unlrown.-

"And now, my son." said the proud
old father, now comes the greatest
surprise of all. Tillie, bring him out"
And Tillie, all bushes, ran into the
bedroom only to reappear in a mo-.
ment with n bundle of muslin and
lace that looked like a small bolster.
ALLOW me, Tom, to introduce you
to your nephew, Tom Crowder, the
second"
Then they all laughed and clapped
their hands except poor Tom and the
baby.
"Whose kid is it," asked Tom faint
ly, as his white face turned from the
child's to Titles.
why, it's Tlllie's," laughed the
mother; "Tillie's sand Jim's. They
We're married year ago, but we
thought we'd keep the secret a while"
"We thought it'd make you home
sick, mebbe," said Jim.
"Do you want to hold him, Tom ?"
whispered Tillie, holding out the baby;
you're his godfather, you know"
Tom held his little namesake for a
while, but he didn't seem to know
just what to say. They laughed at
him, teased him and praised him, till
his mother suggested that he looked
worn out and should go to bed.
Tom re-enlisted last week in spite of
the combined objections of Jim, Tlllie
and the old folks.
mo use kicking about 1t, dad" he
said. Il got the fever and 1 can't
shake it. You don't need me in the
store, an I guess they amt more than
enough to split tween two families.
I'll get along all right, but honest, dad,
just couldn't live here in Sugar Creek
another week. Tell Tillie to write to
me about the kid."-John II. Raftery,

meant to hike back to Sugar Creek
as fast as ship and train could carry
him, and hoped by all that was holy
that once he was mustered out he'd
never see a soldier again. lie got to
be the worst "knock er" in the COM
pany, and he wrote so many letters
that his comrades began to ask him
why he didn't write a few to himself.
"If you got such good home and
swell people, why don't some of 'em
write to you?' sneered his tent-mate
one night. You can't be very strong
with Tillie r she'd write you at least
once year"
Now the letter question was sore
one with Tom because nobody wrote
to him except his mother, and her let
ters seldom reached him during the
final months of his campaigning in the
interior. He had uualTeled with his
brother so many times that no love
was lost between them, and his father
didn't write for the good reason that
he didn't know how. AS for Tillie, the
young soldier had no reason to expect
letters from her. When he left home
she was only sixteen, and his affair
with her was of the long. distance,
incoming, mental sort peculiar to boys
and girls just out of the high school.
If Tom had been perfectly fair in his
introspection he must have admitted
that there was nothing very tangible
in his hopes with regard to Tillie. He
told himself n thousand times that she
was 'the one girl" and coddled him
self with the belief that his fealty to
her was little short of heroic, and that
by some mysterious telepathic sympa-
thy. she must, by this time, be pining
! away for his return

the Secretary of States Duties.

The Secretary of States duties a-e
more ceremonlous than those OF any
other Cabinet member. At the New
Year reception he presents the entire
Diplomatic Corps to the President. He
then returns to his own home and en-
tertains the corps-with its dukes,
marquises, counts, viscounts, barorS
and other nobles-at magnificent
luncheon. With great ceremony he
will from time TO tine personally in
troduce to the President all new Gi-
plomats accredited 10 this country. He
reserves one forenoon in each week
for the reception at his Office Of Min
listers and Charge d'Affaires. He also
attends to the correspondence between
tie President ana the emperors, kings,
sultans and other rulers OF foreign
States. When royal child is born
he frames Il letter OF corgratulGtlon to
the parents. When n royal parsonage
dies it is he VINO dispatches this ma
TONS formal message of coincidence.
A clerk in the State Department copies
these polite missives upon large sheets
of gilt-edged paper, in Il faultless cop
perplate hard. A messenger takes
them 10 the White House for the Presi-
dents signature. They are then re-
turned to the Secretary OF State, who
seals them with thc Great Seal Of the

Of course, it would be impossible to
patrol every mile of road in New
Hampshire, but a single man, mounted,
could cover Il good deal of territory
If the right method were employed, and
it would not take SO many as would at
first be supposed to cover all sections
of the State where such protection is
needed, reflects the Manchester Union.
With an efficient body of what might
be called rural police" whether under
State or County authority, life and
property in the country would be
safer; there would be fewer murders,
assaults, barn burnings, horse steal
ings and crimes of like nature. With
such Il force well organized it would
be almost impossible for a man to go
through the State with stolen horse,
as it would be equally as hard for 4
man to commit an assault or murder
on Il country road and escape detec-
tion. Then, again, in the way of dis
couraging any attempt at crime, the
presence of such a force, composed Of
men of courage, well mounted and
armed, would certainly have a deter"
ring effect.
