From recent medical inquiry into
the physical status of the various
classes of military It was found that
the low sized, broad chested artillery
men we've the strongest and bealthiest
In the service. On the other hand the
tall men of the Guards had the disease
tendencies Of the overgrown, and con-
sumption and other pulmonary trou.
bles were noticeaOly common. When
narrow chested, the men of the GUARDS
and heavy cavalry very soon broke
down. Indeed, the bulk Of the medical
evidence seemed TO show that the
small, well set men-the typical At.
kinses- were the ideal soldiers, though
not so imposing o. martial looking as
the gigantic Guards.

At least 10000 Mormon missionaries
are scattered throughout. the world.
In Europe they occasionally charter q

converts, supplying each with. suffi.

requirements. after which converts
must hand back the amount to the
missionaries accompanying them.

Radium has found new field. Since
Its wonderful properties have been
made public, almost everything incur

it is therefore startling to see phials of

vertising. The price of pound of
this precious stuff would seem to the
ordinary individual beyond the reach

bottle of it on exhibition in the show

pected that no one could afford to ad-

This Is Miraculous.

Manhattan, Kans., March 14.-One
OF the strangest cases that has ever
been heard of in Riley Co. is that of
the three-year-old daughter of Mr..
Jonas Brubaker of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her, she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
of Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
ly through these troubles, but after
the fever Bright's Disease set in and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest of the story:
I'VE began to give her Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and after she had taken
about three and half boxes, she was
entirely cured. Now she is well as
any child, running and playing as il
nothing had ever been the matter
with her. The doctors said she was
beyond the reach of medicine. Dodd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved our lit
tie girls life, when she was so far
into the chronic stage of Bright's
Disease that we thought nothing could
save her."

Circular Barns.

A remarkable novelty in barn-build-
ing is reported from Lapel. Indiana.
The walls, or rather wall. of the
barn are 25 feet. high and SIS feet In
diameter, the roof running to a cone.
There is no such thing as a post or
pillar in the barn. In order to pre-
vent the weight of the roof from
spreading. three heavy steel hoops
encircle the building. The barn is
cyclone proof. for wind has no chance
to get a hold on the structure. The
stalls for horses and cattle are ar
ranged in a circle, there is a big
feeding room in the center and silo
extends from the ground to the roofs
cone. The storage capacity is stated
to be far greater than would be the
case in a building of the ordinary
tyne.

For several minutes the young man
did not speak. His heart was too full.
1t was enough for him to know that
this glorious creature loved him; that
she had promised to share his fate.
With a new and delighted sense of
ownership he Toasted his eyes once
more upon her leatuy, and as he re-
allied that henceforth it would be his
privilege to provide for her welfare
and happiness. he could have almost
wept with joy. His good fortune
seemed incredible. Finally he whis-

WOMEN GOLD BY AUCTION
How DamseIs Of Babylon Were Once

An auction of unmarried ladies used
to take place annually in Babylon. In
every district they assembled on a
certain day Of every year all the vir-
gins Of manageable age. The most
remarkable was first put up, and the
man who bid the largest sum of
money gained possession of her.
The second in personal appearance fol-
lowed. and the bidders gratified them
selves with handsome wives accord
ing to the depth of their purses. But
alasl 1t seems that there were In
Babylon some ladies for whom no
money was likely to be offered, yet
these also were disposed Of so proyi.
dent were the Babylonians. When all
the beautiful virgins were sold, the
crier ordered the most deformed who
would marry her with a small sum.
she was at length adjudged to the
man who would be satisfied with the
least, and in this manner the money
arising from the sale of the handsome
served as portion to those who were
either Of disagreeable looks, or that
had any other imperfection. This Gus.
tom prevailed about 500 years before
