ILLNESS RULED BY INCHES.
London Physician Declares That Ones
Stature Has Great Effect
Upon Health

Among the most interesting of the
papers read at a recent meeting of the
British association at Cambridge was
that Of DR.. Shrubsall on the physical
characters of hospital patients. Suffer
ers from tonsilitis, rheumatism and
heart disease, he said, are of a higher
stature and sufferers from tuberculosis,
nervous and malignant diseases of a
lower stature than healthy individuals.
1t appears that blonde sufferers from
pulmonary tuberculosis respond to treat
ment better than brunettes, while In dis
eases Of the heart the positions are re-
versed. 1t is believed that in successive
generations of city life stature shows a
progressive dinrfnution and that there
is an increase in brunette traits with
each generation passing from rural to
urban life. With increasing length or
residence there is an increase OF NOR
bidity among the different classes OF
Londoners. Some causes which tend to
damage the quality of the race were re-
viewed in an interesting manner by h.
Balfour in the anthropological section.
Sir John Gorst spoke against the preva-
lence of early marriages, particularly
among the poorer classes. He declared
that the race was being propagated in
undue proportion by the poorest and
feeblest.

BRAVE GENERAL NOGl
nHE ARBrTER OF THE FATE OF
! PORT ARTHUR.
n Man of Simple Tastes But Great
Fighter and organizer-His
Conception of
Soldier.

New York.--One day--it was toward
khe close OF the fifth moon Of the thirty
seventh year of Meiji (that is TO say,
1904 Of the year of Christian grace)--
Gen. Nogi received message from
his majesty the emperor 1t was the
pleasure Of his majesty, so the mes
sage ran, to confer upon Gen. Nogi the
highest distinction for the fighting men
Of Nippon. His majesty appointed him
as the commander In chief of our forces
besieging Port Arthur says japanese
writer In the New York Independent
Gen. Nogi was happy. On the same day
came the news OF the battle OF the
Nanshan. To Gen. Nogi the report Of
the Nanshan battle brought the news
OF the heroic death Of his son, Shoten.
The general said:
4 am glad he died so splendidly. 1t
was the greatest honor he could have.
As for the funeral rites over his mem
DRY, they might as well be postponed
for awhile. A little later on they may
be performed In conjunction with those
OF the two other members of his fam
ly--of Hoten, his brother, and of my
self"
Gen. Nogi is the type of soldier upon
which the ideals of the elder days OF the
samurai would look down with pleas
ure. Some say he is somewhat out Of
place In the waking days of the new cen
tury. Simple, with that ragged sim
plicity OF a man who Is too great for
adjectives, his heart Is In somewhat
greater things than the polite accom-
plishments Of the day. Both his friends
and foes have styled him a peculiar
man. He is peculiar In many things.
He is peculiar in his conception OF the
life OF a soldier. In these happy days.
when the soldiers Of so many countries
all over the world are given to the gold
cloth and parade, he has put his con-
ception of the soldier In the following
sentences:
"A soldier is soldier, after all, and
after a man becomes a soldier he must
be perfectly willing to lead life that
is somewhat different from the life OF
an ordinary man in society. 1t is i'm
possible for him to enjoy liberty and
wealth such as SO many OF his fellow

men seem to enjoy. | refer to
this point more especially because of a
s. nple fact-namely. that the soldier
vgo would perform his duties with
credit on a battlefield must, of necessity,
have trained himself to perform all that
is expected of him in the days of peace.
There ought not to be any neglect or
any defects in his daily life The con-
queror of himself in the time of peace
must be a man If he would aspire to the
honor, with any right, Of being fight
ing man under the sun-dag"
Unlike so many historic men of fame.
who make free gifts of splendid pre-
cepts and glittering periods and
straightway forget those beautiful vir-
tues in the doings of their daily life,
the general did not stop with mere
words There Is famous story told of
him OF his love for shojinryori. (Now,
shojinryori means the food prepared
for priests and monks.) 1t was upon his
return from Formosa He was appoint
ed the commander of the Eleventh di-
vision, stationed at Zentsuji in the
province of Sanuki. The division in
question was passing through the busy
period OF organization. Devoted al
ways, first of all, to his duty to the
state. the general left his family in
Toxic. Only three servants accompa-
MED him. Not far from Zentsuji there
Is a modest village called Kinzoji Mura;
in the village stands a humble temple
called Kinzoji, after which the village
is named. The general found a little
corner IN the temple which never was
meant to entertain anyone or anything
more pretentious than an ''out-of-the-
world" as the monk is called In our
country man absolutely Indifferent
to the Injuries Of this life. There was
a young priest in the temple who did
the cooking for everyone who stayed
on the compound. Upon the food,
which is simple beyond all the dreams
of simplicity, the commander OF the
Eleventh division sustained his life.
For four years he lived upon the simple
food Of the monk.
