democratic organizations in several
countries have already strongly en-
dorsed the plan of extending the or

into the organization of each and every

has also been suggested that the state
convention name the candidate for
United States senator prior to the
election of such senator by the New
York state Legislature. While the for
mer proposition undoubtedly meets
with general approval among the DEM
ocrats in the different parts of the
state, the latter suggestion has not
been favorably received However. it
is of no particular consequence. as it
is generally admitted that the chances
of electing democratic United States
senator are extremely slim.

NON-USE OF CHAIRS
Scientific Men Advance Novel Reason
for Japanese Characteristic.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-Why are the
Japanese understood? Because they
don't use chairs.
That is the answer to the conundrum
given by a number of Japanese army
surgeons and scientific men. Under
their direction. careful measurements
of several thousand soldiers were taken
and it was found. in almost every
case. that the ShOrtnesS of stature, is
chiefly due to the shortness of the
lower limbs.
The legs are short and stunted be-
cause, almost from the day it is born
the Japanese baby is taught to sit on
the floor. with it's legs doubled under
ii ut the knees. This posture results
in an actual dWarfing of the legs. and
is the mdin cause OF the national de-
formity.
Among the Japanese coolies. who
spend much of their time running in
the open. the legs are noticeably long
er than in the more sedentary classes
/: is believed that the general use
of tables and chairs in the empire of
the mikado would eventually result in
adding several inches to the average
height of japanese soldiers. which is
