The Study Of African Men.

The sociological character Of African
man is Of great interest. 1t has not
yet been treated scientifically. Travel.
ers have confined themselves mainly
to such novelties 40 they happened to
meet. Anthropophagy is extensively
practiced by some Of the tribes near
the equator, and It would be well to
know why the practice Is more general
there than elsewhere. Another curious
thing to know Is whether stature is in
Auenced> by environment. climate or
diet. The taIlest men I found lived
in high altitudes-from 5000 feet above
sea.level upward; the sturdiest from
5000 feet to 5000 feet; the shortest. ex-
cepting the pygmies, from sea.level to
an elevation Of 5000 feet. It deserves
study, as well, as to what effect the
different diets Of tribes have on their
physical systems. Some live on wild
berries and fungi and ground vermin;
others, on fish; others. wholly on milk,
or on meat, or grain, or solely on veget-
ables. I was often tempted to pursue
the question as to whether such spe-
cific foods affected the strength or In
tellIgence Of tribes who thus limited
themselves to one kind Of food.-HsETy

The Value or Praise.

There is nothing better for q girl
sometimes than a little hearty praise.
Many good people conscientiously act
on the direct opposite. and seem to
think nothing better than a little
hearty blame. They are mistaken,
conscientious In their blame as they
may be. There are sore burdens
enough in life. bitterness and pain
enough, hard work enough and little
enough for it-enough to depress rs all
and keep us humble. a keen sense OF
failure, succeed as one may. and q
word Of hearty commendation now and
then Will tighten the load and brighten
the heart and send q woman on with
new hope and energy. and II she have
any reasonable amount Of brains at
nil Il will do her no harm.
Children are sometimes heart'starved
for a little hearty praise. Boys VIII

or at least try to. II they are worth
their salt.-New York News.
