The British government has recently
issued an official Blue Book, which
contains the latest census of India
that Of 1901. The trials of American
census enumerators in the Philippines
were slight compared with the expert
ences of the British enumerators In
India. In one province, a community
OF ascetics vowed to perpetual silence
made difficult problem. The tribe OF
Bills, whose members have long
claimed exemption from intrusion,
were brought to terms by the argu-
ment that persistent refusal would cut
them off from the receipt OF food in
famine year. The implacable Jarawas
made a murderous attack upon the
enumerators. during which one of the
assaiiants was killed. Almost three
millions of the people of India are
Christians, and of these the native
Christians number more than two and
a half millions. The growth OF Chris
tianity is far more rapid than that of
the population.

A medical authority has recently Ut
tered a warning against the habit d
sitting with one knee crossed over 1f
other-a pose which Is nowadays az
most as common among women az
among men. This apparently Harmless
habit, it seems, is likely to cause SCI
atica, lameness, chronic numbness, az
cending paralysis, cramps, varcos
veins, and other evils. The reason
simple: The back Of the knee, it Is G.
planned, as we'll as the front of hf
elbow and wrist, the groin and b.
armpit, contains nerves and blOal
vessels which are less adequately pm
tected than in other parts of the bod
The space behind the knee contaiS
two large nerves, large artery, alii
numerous veins and Emphatic gland
1t is the pressure on these nerves AM
vessels which is apt to give rise
the various troubles against which VI
are warned.

made aware of the extent of the accident

halt be called the shore was lined with
relatives and friends of the dead who were
being brought to the top with a slowness
that added to their grief.
Mr.. mcfarland insisted that his idea of
the conditions was a correct one ard that
the races should be discontinued. Mr.. boyle
said he was unable to decide the matter
himself and would consult the other men,
hers of the committee in charge of the re-
gatta and would also talk with the man
ayers of the out-of-town crews. The result
of this decision was that the races could
not be stopped. 1t was sta ted that the out

months and that they had been put TO large

Wanted to Crow Tall.

William Hart of Selma, Ind, stu
dent I'M the divinity school at Chicago,
has been growing tall so fast. after
taking a patent medicine for increas-
ing height, that he fears that he will
never lbe able to stop. He has sought
an attorney to see whether he has le-
gal redress against the company that
furnished him the medicine.
HART who is 20 years old, thought
that preacher should have a COM
mandiIig presence. So when he saw
an advertisement telling how anybody
can grow taller by the expenditure of
a small amount he lost no time in fol-
lowing instructions.
When he went to Chicago in Sep
temberI he measured five feet four
inches. A month later he measured
five feet six inches. At five feet eight
inches he began to fear for the conse~
ouences, but concluded to see if he
could not stop growing of his own ac-
cord. When he found himself five feet
eleven inches in height and all his
clothing misfts, he consulted physi-
clans, but they could do nothing for
him. He has had long interview with
an attorney, who has undertaken to
compel the medicine firm to stop Hart
from growing.
''Why, at this rate I'll be eight feet
tall before I'm 81, and I'll have to stay
I'M nights to watch myself grow" Hart
remarked.
The attorney is not sure that there
are grounds for suit against the COM
nanv thu furnished the medicine, but
will look over the law books for pre-
cedent.-New York Herald.
