Marriages in Burma.

Burma is unique among the oun
tries of the East in the position &C.
corded to women. There is no purdah
there, and, gentle as she looks, the
married woman is the head Of her
house. The girls, before their ears
are pierced, which is equivalent to a
coming out reception, are allowed to
roam about the streets playing boyish
games with their brothers and their
friends. and afterward there are many
opportunities for young men and WON
en- to meet at festivals, boat races and
other gayeties. Marriages in Burma,
therefore, are usually love matches,
and the unmarried woman is In no
hurry to change her state. Burmese
women are charming. generally slen-
der, dainty and demurely %coquettlsh.
They wear gayly colored garments,
which make them look like flower
beds, and their hair. which is shining
and smooth, is always uncovered and
decked with 6overA

The Girth OF Man Increasing.

An excellent illustration of the value
of records has been afforded lately re-
garding the question Of physical degen-
eracy. y firm in the north of England
has compared the measurements for
clothing made two generations aSo
with those of to-day, the results going
to show that chest and hip measure
nlents are now three inches on the ay-
erage more than they were sixty years
ago. The same conclusion is reached
by the experience of the ready-made
clothiers. These facts, whatever may
be their generality, do not quite dis
pose of the question of degeneracy.
They are what we should expect from
the more abundant and cheaper food
of the people, their better housing and
improved sanitary surroundings; but
the testimony regarding the unfitness
Of recruits and progressive lack of
stamina in town, and especially manu-
featuring, populations cannot be disre-
garded. The girth Of man may be in
creasing. but, like a fattiGg hog, is not
co%rpulency bringing clumstness?

ARMY is 72,8I7 STRONG.
Annual Report of Military Secretary
Militia Satisfactory.

Militia satisfactory.
The annual report of Gen. +. G. Aims
worth, the military secretary of the
army, the first issued from his office
since its creation by Congress at it's last
session, gives the total strength of the
army at the close of the last fiscal year
at 1871 officers and GS,946 enlisted men.
The loss of officers from death, dismissal,
retirement and other causes was 155.
The number of enlisted men lost by death
was 456.
A reduction in the number of malarial
fever cases at West Point is attributed to
an attack made on the mosquitoes.
Speaking of the militia, it is said that
very satisfactory progress has been made
toward bringing the organized militia, re-
specting armament, equipment and dis
cipline, up to the standard of the regu-
lar army. 4 total Of G,966 officers and
S3,102 enlisted men of the militia or
CARNATIONS were present at the inspec-
tons.
Referring to the act of Congress pro-
viding for a roster of officers and enlisted
men of the Union and Confederate ar
mics, the report says that the responses
Of the Governors addressed inviting their
cooperation have been such as to assure
the department that they fully appreciate
the Importance of the work and will CO.
operate heartily with the department in
its efforts to give to the Confederate
soldier the place that is due him in the
proposed compilation.

PARKER FOR
Keynote of His Address to the Democ.
racy Is SECT Together

racy ls "Get TOgether."
Judge Parker has given to the press
an open letter, addressed Ito the Dem
ocracy of the nation" in which he thanks
those in charge of his campaign work
and declares that the people will soon
realize that 1.-THE fairfield trusts are to-
sorbing the wealth of the nation" In
his letter Judge Parker says he shall
never again seek n nomination for public
Office. He discusses the difficulties en-
countered by the Democrats in making
their campaign this year and makes sug-
g~estions regarding harmony in the party.
In conclusion the judge says that in
the presence of defeat he does not hest
tate to say that, in his opinion, the great
moral question that confronts the Demo-
Gratis is, shall the trusts and corporations
be prevented from contributing money to
control or to aid in controlling elections?
Referring to the Democratic party,
Judge Parker says: ave must forget the
difficulties of the past. If any one sus-
poets his neighbor of treachery let him
not hint of his suspicion. If he knows
he has deserted us let him not tell it.
Our forces have been weakened by di-
visions. We have Quarreled at times over
non~-essentials. .. ~
IF we would help the people we must
forget the differences Of the past and
begin this day to build up wherever it
may be needed a broad and effective or
ganization. And we must by constant
teaching, through the press and from the
platform, apprise the people of the way
the vicious tariff circle works"
Judge Parker expects to enter a New
York law firm. He declines to name the
firm, although it is understood that his
arrangements are completed.
w. j. Bryan blames the Democratic
abandonment of radicalism at the st.
Louis convention for the party's over
whelming disaster at the polls. In a
long statement he lashes the conserva-
tive r~eOrganizers and proposes planks for
a platform to be used in 1908. He re-
peats Judge Parker's charge that the
trusts contributed to the Republican cam
paign fund in the expectation of receiv-
ing immunity from the law.
In his proposed platform Mr.. Bryan
says death to private monopoly" should
be the Democratic slogan. His prime
issue is trusts, but he would attack the
tariff and Imperialism, strip national
banks of certain powers, restore free sill
yer, levy an income tax, prevent govern
ment by injunction and have the people
elect federal judges. Mr.. Bryan wants
to go to work at once to reclaim the
Democratic party to radicalism and says
he will do all he can in the fight.
Mr.. Bryan says: The result was due
to the fact that the Democratic party at
tempted to be conservative in the pres
ence of conditions which demand radical
remedies. 1t sounded a partial retreat
when it should have ordered a charge
