POLICEMEN PROVE THAT SHE IS MOTHER AND THREATENED TO ARREST HER IF ShE REFUSED TO TAKE THE CHILD.

The woman suspected by the police of being the mother of the baby girl left with an old negro woman on Thursday night, took the baby yesterday and prom ised to care for it. The police had con siderable trouble in making her take the baby, and finally had to threaten to arrest her on charge of desertion if she refused to take care of the child.
 The baby was found at the house of negro woman near Huntsville avenue Friday morning, and an investigation was made by Captain Wier, acting chief of police, who forced the negro woman to show him the home of the mother of the child. The mother at first refused to acknowledge the child but a chain of evidence was woven around her wrich was sufficiently strong to make her take the child, or warrant her arrest.

Indians the TaIIest People.

From the Detroit Tribune.
 In comparative table of stature. ar- ranged according to nationalities, the United States Indian stands higher than any other race of the world, though the Patagonian runs him very close. The white citizen comes next The United States negro ranks fourteenth in the scale. and of all the countries of the world considered the Portugese are found to be the shortest. It has always been proyerbial among anatomists that blonde nations are greater than their darker neighbors. This is due to the geological positions of the blonde races. They are characteristic of the north. and on ac- count of the lower degree of temperature are induced to take more exercise, which throws them more in the open afr. Al the top of the list of countries arranged in order of stature. the first seven, after the United States white men, are Nor way. Scotland. British America, Sweden Ireland, Denmark and Holland, all north ern nations.
