Those Queer Women.

"Women are mighty queer about
some things" remarked a conductor
the other day. I've been watching
them for ten years on this line, and
every day l see some new popularity.
You just watch the next one that gets
in. There's M vacan seat left, and
she'll walk up to it and turn clear
around in her tracks before she sits
down. Here comes one now"
Sure enough. the woman who stepped
on the a just then spied the empty
seat. made for 1T and, reaching it.
turned clear around before she sat
down.
You see how it is" continued the
conductor, returning after taking her
fare. They all do it. There isn't one
woman in ten but what turns around
before she takes her seat. Perhaps it's
natural for 'em. just as it is for q dog
to whirl around three times before he
lies down. I've seen more than one wo-
man lose her seat by having some one
else slip into it while she was going
through her preliminary turn. But a
little lesson like hat doesn't do them
any good. They keep on turning
around before taking a seat just the
same."-EXchange.

The chairman Of q committee of Irish
American citizens who We're preparing
to entertain the regiment telephoned
asking for twenty-five pure white
horses. Mr.. Doerr Of the firm an
swered that there were only fifteen
white horses in the establishment, but
that fifty green horses we're expected
the following week. Possibly some
could be selected from the latter to an
swer the purpose. The chairman of

clothing as physical RECORDS.

An excellent illustration of the value
of records has been afforded lately re-
gardins the question of physical de
generacy. A firm in the north of Eng
land has compared the measurements
for clothing made two generations ago
with those of today, the results going
to show that chest and hip measure
ments are now three inches on the ay-
erage more than they We're sixty years
ago. This same conclusion is reached
by the experience of the ready made
.clothiers. These facts, whatever may be
their generality, do not quite dispose
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.-London Telegraph.

ages to increase too rapidly. Then in
their turn they become injurious.
These parasites flourish in the large
intestine which mammals possess.
whereas in birds they are almost en-
tirely lacking. The result was shown
in the person of the doctors own dog.
