Growth of Ears.

In speaking of human ears and their growth as persons grow older The Satur- day Evening Post says:
 The systematic examination of more than 10000 pairs of human ears in Eng land and France has resulted in some in- teresting conclusions For one thing. it is ascertained that the ear continues to grow in the latter decades of life; in fact, 1t appears never to stop growing until death If one will take the trouble to look around in any assemblage of people. as at church, he will discover that the old folks have ears considerably larger than those of middle age. A woman who has small. shell-like ears at 20 years of age, will be very apt to possess medium sized earS at 40 and large ears at 60.
 Why ears should go on growing all ones life any more than noses Is a nys- tery. There are B good many points about them that are instructive. their shapes being markedly persistent through heredity Any ear will he handed down. so to speak. from father to son for gener- ations with comparatively little modihca- ton Some authorities on criminology assert that criminals are very apt to pos sess a peculiar kind of ear. which is recognized by an expert in such matters.

MIR. PEABODY SUBMITS PLAN
 FOR CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS
He Will Assist in Buildings for Young Men and Young Women If Citizens of Mont
 gOmery Will Help.

At a meeting of the Directors of the Young Mems Christian Association yes ferday afternoon, Mir. E. G. Murphy acting as trustee for MT. George Foster Peabody, placed before the Board Mir. Peahody's suggestions in reference to the Baldwin property on the corner of Adams and Perry Streets.
 MT Peabody, at MT. Murphy's request, purchased that property a little over year ago. It was turned over to the Young Mems Christian Association, not as a gift, but a loan
 It was expressly stated that although AIr. Peabody would gladly improve the property, fitting 1t up with gymnasium, swimming pool. etc. yet that at the ex- piration of three years the Young Mems Christian Association would have to va cate in the interest of another organiza- don.
 MT. Peabody and Mir. Murphy informed few parties in this city as to the na- ture of the purpose which they had ulti- mately in mind, but there was no inti- nation that the property would be given outright to Montgomery without Mont gomery doing her part in the transac- tion.
 New Home Needed for Y. M. c. A.
 The Directors of the Young Mems HldnnlnR new and permanent quarters on Dexter Avenue, having decided to purchase and rebuild upon the property occupied by the residence of Judge J. B. Gaston. The cost of the permanent home of the Young Mems Christian Association will be about $35, ,O00. It will be permanent and at tractive city improvement and a useful and valuable ornament to Dexter Ave nue.
 Mir. Peabody, as stated by MT. Murphy, wishes this proposal to succeed. He has allowed the Association to use the de- lightful quarters in the Baldwin prop ert for the three years, largely in order to put the organization in shape to make a successful canvass for a permanent home in the Capital of the State. Young Women's Christian Associa-
 tion.
 But Mir Peabody has been quite as anxious to see established at the Capital of Alabama branch of the Young Wo- mems Christian Association. For more than a year he has been in conference with his local friends here in order to do this to the best advantage
 For him to give the property outright to the Young Women's Christian Asso- citation would hardly be wise, as he would then be giving property without any as Eurance of sufficient local sentiment to carry on the work The mere propertv would do little to aid the cause unless there were strong practical assurance of local cooperation.
 At the same time, MT Peabody is Rverse to taking the slightest return from his investment here. He states that he was glad to make his investments here because his friend, Mir, Murphy, had in- ferested him in Montgomery as the Capi-

riages. Montgomery is something of an historical city, and many tourists visit it. These tourists get a street carriage and visit the points of chief interest. They are usually people of some means, and aye in the habit of tipping the drivers. Now, If there's anything that encourages the average Southern negro hackman to be polite 1t is the prospect of tip. And you will find exceedingly polite hackmen in all the historical Southern cities. Take Charleston. and Richmond and Chatta- noga where so many tourists stop over and you will find an unusually polite set of hackmen, and for the same reason, while in the new towns of the South where everything is strictly business and there is not spirit of historical senti- ment the hackmen are ms a rule less patient and consderate Of the feelings of their passengers"

Names That Disguise Personalities

The Duke of Tetuan was a properly im- pressive title for a Spanish Government Minister, though It covered the personal ity of an Irishman named ODonnell. Ills title came from the fact that his father, in the Spanish service. captured the Moorish city of Tetuan. This was in 1859 and two years later the Sultan of Morocco ransomed the city for $9O, 900 OOO "a rather large sum for a Mohammedan town of ls,00 people. In this connection 1t is recalled that the Emin Bey, subse- quently called Emin Pasha. who figured so prominently in British military opera tons in Egypt and the Upper Nile coun- try few years ago, was an Austrian physician named Ed Schnitzler.

tai of the State, but he desires no per- sonal return from his Montgomery prop erty.
 He has, therefore. asked Mr. Murphy 1 to act as his trustee in the matter and he has framed a proposition which Is in tended to secure local cooperation for the Young Women's Christian Associa- ton. and yet 1t is a proposition through which every dollar that Montgomery gives will go right back to Montgomery. Here it Is:
 All for Montgomery.
 The Baldwin property cost $l4.00O in cash and with its many expensive im- provements, 1t is held today at a valua- tion of $20,0OO.
 MT. Peabody offers to deed this prop erty entire. and free from all incumb- rance to local accredited representatives of the Young Women's Christian Asso- ciation when the people of Montgomery have paid to MT. Murphy. his trustee, the sum of $l0000 for the Baldwin place.
 Thereupon, he authorizes MT. Murphy to pay over to the Young Mems Chris tian Association of Montgomery this en- tire sum of $l0000 as his contribution to- ward the permanent home of that organ | ization, with the proviso, of course, that Montgomery completes the fund for that building.
 Thus Montgomery will acquire both properties, valued at s55. 900, for S35. 900.
 The proposition practically amounts to MT. Peabody donating the Baldwin prop erty outright to Young Women's Chris Ian Association for Montgomery, on con- uuoh that Montgomery will build a $35- uoo nome Tor the Young Mems Christian l Association. Yet he prefers part of inc l money should "a Womens Christian Association in order to arouse a collective local interest in that organization He has no obiection or course to the especial friends of the 1' M. C, A. giving directly to that or ganlzation If they prefer to do so.
 Value of Co-operation.
 Both MT. Peabody and MT. Murnhv realize that the success of the above suG- gestions will largely depend upon tbo | earnest and fraternal co-opcration of oI, the ministers and congregations of tbe | city and of the various women's orpani. zations in Montgomery
 The Baldwin property, with its readInp rooms, its gymnasium. It's swimming poo and it's many improvements, togethe, | with its admirable location will prove ar ideal club house and gathering place fo, the young women of the city and mos l cNA'iiiiN anu INeIlent headquarter; for the charitable work of the women O, | Montgomery.

and made payable in one, two and three years, think the amount can be secured. l want to try to get a little further help from outside the State on this proposal, but before l do anything further, l want to see what Montgomery is willing to do. l want to feel that the city has first done her very best. Not a dollar goes out of the town. Montgomery gets the direct advantage of every penny expend- ed.
 T need hardly speak of the practical value to our city of such provisions for our young people. That, I think, will be evident to all. l am not only interested in our young people themselves, but in the advancement of our whole commu- nity. Everything that makes Montgomery a more attractive place to live in, a place where people like to make their homes, is of direct advantage, not only to the moral welfare, but to the prosperity of the city,"

Pettus Spent a Dollar.

Edwin Winston Pettus, Alabama 3 junior Federal Senator has completely disproved the prevailing theory that all seats in the Upper House of Congress are expensive and that the Senate Is prac- tically a millionaire's club.
 This statement Is based on the fact that Senator Pettus spent only s1 to re- tain his seat in the Senate at the expira- ton of his term.
 This sum was forwarded to Hon. J.. Thomas Heflln. Secretary of the State of Alabama, few days ago and was suf- ficient to defray the whole of Senator Pettus's election expenses.
 This is said to be the minimum price of a seat in the Senate and the venerable and respected Senator takes great pride in making known the fact to his mill nonaire colleagues.

A Former Alabamian Dead.

In the death of Colonel Henry Bethune Tompkins, which occurred at his home in Atlanta, Ga, Thursday, another fa- nous son of Alabama has passed beyond the earthly sphere. Judge Tompkins was born and reared in Alabama, and 1t was on Alabamas soil that he began his career, a career that was spotless and equalled by few.
 He was born in Baldwin County In 1S4o and was reared amid refined and cul- tured surroundings. Filled with patriot ism and love for the cause of the South, he organized q company of Barbour County volunteers at the outbreak of the war between the States when he was only in the sixteenth year of his age.
 Owing to his youthfulness his father forbade him volunteering and his com pany went away without him. He joined his own forces two years later.
 Serving under General Joseph John ston In the campaign from Chickamauga to Atlanta. participating in all the great engagements of the campaign, he served with remarkable gallantry. Promotion succeeded promotion and he was soon in command of his regiment.
 On Aug, IS, 1s64 Colonel Tompkins was shot and desperately wounded during the battle of Atlanta on the spot where he was, Dy ms request, buried, II being In what is now known as Westview ceme- tery.
 The forces with whom Colonel Tomp- kins's regiment was engaged at the time he was wounded were under General Lawton, who recently died in the Philip pine Islands and who after the Civil War was close friend of Colonel Tomp- klns.
 At the close of the war Judge Tomp- kins. then Colonel Tompkins, was only T years old. He returned to Barbour County and began the study of law. After he was admitted to the bar he went to Memphis, Tenn, remaining there several years From Memphis he went to Georgia and continued the practice of his profession in association with the late B. A. Denmark by the firm name of Tompkins and Denmark in the city of Savannah, Here he enjoyed an immense practice and was made Judge of the 1 Superior Court of Savannah and adjoin- ing counties.
 Removing to Atlanta Judge Tompkins made himself one of the foremost mem bers of the bar an1 bench in that State and his death wi'&Ae deeply felt and deplored throughout the South.

Polite Hackmen in Montgomery.

Did You ever notice how polite the hackman of Montgomery are?" asked an observant citizen of a Birmingham News man. 'I have travelled around a great deal during the last few years, and know of few cities where the hackmen are so polite as they are in Montgomery.
 Some one has suggested that Montgomery is slow, and the hackmen have compara- lively little to do. and hence have plenty of time to be polite But that is not the real reason. There are few cities in the South of similar size where the people ride and drive more than in Montgomery. You See people constantly riding up and down Dexter Avenue and other principal streets of the Capital City in public car
