OUR TRADE WITH GERMANY.
Exports From Germany to tho Unit
ed states in 1903 Not For Short
of S13O,00O,OOO.

Berlin. Jan. 3.--The exports from
Germany to the United States during
1903 did not fall far short OF $13O,000,-
OOO or from $14,O0O,000 to $15,0Oo,OO
more than in 1902, which was the pre-
vious record year. Detailed figures OF
the years transaction in all the con-
sular districts are not yet avsilahle,
but the average increase is 12h per
cent. over that of 1902. For instance,
the Berlin district exported goods to
the value Of s9,SSS.S41, a gain of ST.
l0S621. This was due to the great
variety of manufacturers. The in

chiefly in textiles and steel, chemical
and leather goods.

Faint Hopes of Japan Receiving q
Favorable Reply.
London. Jan. 3.-No word has been
received here intended to show when
the Russian reply to Japan may be ex-
pected. Foreign Secretary Lansdowne
has informed Baron Hayashi, the JAP
anese minister, that he fears that the
war party in Russia is in the ascend
ant, and that he has faint hopes OF
Japan receiving a favorable reply.
Baron Hayashi says he has received
no news of the intended dispatch OF
Japanese squadron to Masampho The
last news he heard was that Russian
cruiser was there. The minister point
ed out that the dispatch OF squadron
to Masampho would not necessarily be
a warlike action, though 1t could
scarcely help being regarded in the
line of other precautions which Japan
has openly taken.
weekly Press shares Alarm.
The weekly papers here share in the
general feeling of alarm current In
Great Britain The Spectator says
war draws ever nearer, and adds:
"If we are dragged into this war, as
we may be. the country will not be di-
vided into sympathy, dislike OF Russia
being as strong among the masses OF
our population as it was in 1855"
The paper surmises that Russia may
keep her ships in her harbors, as she
did during the Crimean war. thereby
forcing land actions or dangerous at
tempt by Japan to seize Port Arthur
and Vladivostock.
The Saturday Review adopts
somewhat similar tone, saying that
the likelihood of Chinese Intervention
menaces the commercial interest OF
all Europe and of the United States.

INrELLEcT AND INCHES.
Men Of Genius Who Have Been Well
Endowed Physically.

Fielding, who is described as "a
splendid fellow, frank in bearing,
agile as trained wrestler, rather
exceeding six feet in height"
An equally striking picture is
drawn of Charles Reade, who is
handed down to us as "A stately
and imposing man, over six feet
high, with massive chest, her
culean limbs, and a bearded and
leOnine faces" whie Thackeray
would, with Fielding and Reade,
have made an admirable third in a
trinity of men all exceptionally
lowered with "intellect and stat
ure" In height he rose we'll over
six feet, and to the last he carried
his broad-shouldered, well-prOpor-
toned, commanding figure with
the erectness Of trained soldier.
The effect Of Edmund Burke's
eloquence, says Stray Stories, was
heightened by physique which
few orators have ever rivalcd.
Burke is described as finely
made, muscular man, about five
feet ten inches high, with frame
that denoted great personal
strength.
Burns was noted, even among
Scotsmen, for his splendid figure,
and had cOuntenance which once
seen could never be forgotten
Like Burke, he was only two inch
es under six feet, and in his body
he combined agility with immense
strength to "A remarkable degree
Capt Marryat was a man of
such muscular development thar

Hercules.
"He was not a tall man-fvr

think, intended by nature TO be
six feet, only having gone to sea
while still almost a child, at a time
when the between decks were very
low pitched, he had, he himself de
clared, had his growth unnatural
ly stopped"
James HOgg, the "ettrick shep-
herd" was Il fine figure of a man.
In height he was > feet 1917 inch
es; his broad chest and square
shoulders indicated health and
strength; while "A well-rOunded
leg and small ankle and foot
showed the active shepherd who
could outstrip the runaway
sheep"
There were few finer men to be
seen in Prince street. Ediburgh.

about six feet high, with Il tOler-
able appearance of strength, and
wearing, for the predominant
character of his person, lightness
and agility; he seemed framed

exercises of every sort"
William CObbett was proud of
being recognized as the most stal-
wart man in his regiment, just rs,
in later and very different years,
he was the giant Of the house OF
commons. Even Carlyle, who in
his latter years was but a poor,

is described in early London days
as ii "tall, rObust-lOOking man

Sir Walter Scott, apart from his
unfortunate lameness, was Il
splendid example of robust man.

Sir Philip Sidney was "tall.
shapely and muscular" HallamI
is recalled as ga tall and remark
ably handsome man, very stately
in look and manner" and even his
lameness seems to have detracted
nothing from the fine dignity Of
his department. Theodore Hook
was distinctly tall man, with
muscular, athletic, well-propOr-
toned body.
