MOST PEOPLE LoPsIoED.
Differences Between the Legs, Eyes
and Ears 81 Men and Women.

and Ears 81 Men and Women.
The two sides of n persons face are
never alike. The eyes are. out of line
in two cases out OF Eve. and one eyelis
stronger than the other in seven per
sons out OF ten. The right ear is also,
as a rule. higher than the left.
Only one person in IL has perfect
eyes. the largest percentage Of defects
prevailing among fair haired people.
Short sight is more common in town
than among country folk and of all
people the Germans have the largest
proportion Of Shortsighted persons.
The crystalline lens of the eye is the
one portion Of the human body which
continues to increase with the attain
mpnt of maturity.
The smallest interval of sound can
be better distinguished with one ear
than with both. The nails Of two
fingers never grow with the same ra-
pldlty. that Of the middle finger grow
ing the fastest. while that Of the thumb
grows the slowest.
In "a cases out Of 100 the left les
is shorter than the right. The bones
of AN average human male skeleton
weigh 20 pounds. those Of a woman are
six pounds lighter.
That unruly member, the tongue OF
a woman, is also smaller than that of
a man, given a man aud a woman OF
equal size and weight. 1t may be ap-
palllng to reflect. but 1t is nevertheless
true, that the muscles of the human
jaw exert n force of over 500 pounds.
The symmetry which is the sole In
telligible ground for our idea Of beauty
the proportion between the upper and
lower half of the human body, exists
in nearly all males, but is never found
in the female. American limbs are
more symmetrical than those of any
other people. The rocking chair. ac
cording to an English scientist, Is re
sponsble for the exercise which in
creases the beauty Of the lower limbs
The push which the toes give to keeI
the chair in motion. repeated and re
peated. makes the instep high, the cal
round and full, and it makes the ankle
delicate and slender. er.-Exchange

Religious Freedom in Mexico

Religious Freedom in Mexico
From the Mexican Herald.
Missionaries in this country are on
an equal footing before che law with
the clergy of the Catholic church. The
Federal nor the State Governments
make any distinction between them.
Around the members OF all COM
munions is thrown the protection Of
the Federal Constitution. Because
some Of the more fanatical and unin-
huential people in Catorce warned the
missionaries to leave the town the i'm
preston has gone abroad that the whole

It locks as though the contest which
has been waged for many years is to
be continued without material change.
Optimism is all very well, but exReri-
ence has taught the people OF Delawara
certain, things. and they now know
what to expect. If there is anything
that successive elections have proved
II is that as long abs the Union Repub-
lican party continues its present policy
and methods, it cannot command a
majority cf the voters of Delaware. All
the money that may be poured in will
not accomplish the result There are
sufficient numbers OF Republicans who
will have none OF IL. and there the mat
ter rests.
How Il is to end or when It is to
end. nobody knows. There are those
who are ready to make predictions,
but these have no substantial basis.
The fight fortunately or otherwise. is
left to the Republicans themselves,
the Democrats standing in a position
TO compel the Republicans to unite II
they desire TO pass laws and to elect
two senators. The Union Republicans

THE LITERARY WORLD

"Signora, a Child Of the Opera
House. by Gustav Kobbe, is a story OF
great interest and charm woven about
the adventures of a little Waif who be
came the pet and prOtege of great ar
lists in the operatic world. 1t is a very
deft mingling Of fact and fiction. A
child, abandoned on the steps Of the
stage door of an opera house (evidently
the Metropolitan Opera House New
Ycrk) is taken in by the stage door
keeper and practically adopted by the
entire company Some of the originals
of Mr. Kobbe's characters. such as
Madame Calve, Jean and Edcuard de

aided in the fascinating task of iden-

BRAzEN IMPUDENcE

In the Philadelphia Ledger today APP
pears a letter from John Edward Adj
dicks that his most servile follower
wishes that he had not written. He BE-
gins by denouncing the Republican
party for its iethargy and impotency
before his advent. Having paid his re-
spects to the organization which
fought undaunted through so many dis
couagements until it was finally vic
tcrious, although il knew not John Ell
ward Addicks, the writer comes down
to the present time.
We are informed that the Union Re
publicans have won a complete victory
against Democrats and boiling Repub-
licans combined, and against the Fed
oral oifice-holders of the State backed
by the money OF John and James Dob
son and the Bancroft cotton mills, and
General Wilson whom he affects to slur.
That requires nerve OF high order
when Addicks is just emorging from a.
campaign that has cost him at least
100000. A campaign where in the dis
trict OF his State Chairman $50 was the
price of a vote for n single candidate
In face Of this. the miner falsehOods
need no answer. AS to his complete
victory, that Addicks denies in a subse-
Quent paragraph, showing n lack of
consistency in bis lying.
The letter informs us that the Re
publicans had an antecodent agreement
to elect to the U. S. Senate Willard
Salisbury and General James II. VIII
son. OF course. there is nothing to pre-
vent Addicks making such statement
but should we charge that Addicks had
pooled his issues with Clark OF Mon
tana, it would be equally hard to dis
prove. But If there was such an agree
ment, it may now be carried into effect,
since the Union Republicans are yet in
a minority. IL will not be carried into
effect, however, which is the best evil
dence that the alleged combine is only
a pipe dream.
We are told further along that there
will be no new charter for the city of
Wilmington, because the Republicans
failed to elect two-thirds of each house.
That appears TO be rather remarkable,
since It is not a political measure and
since manly Democrats favor it.
Then comes the most remarkable
paragraph of all. We quote: I'm pass
ing we have taken away the temptation
Of Federal patronage by excising from
the situation Congressman Ball, who
betrayed cur confidence"
In other words, Addicks admits MS
deliberate act of sending a Democrat TO
Congress, and in the same letter enters
plea for all Republicans to support
him (Addicks) for the Senate. To
what extent can our people be gulledY
