was repeatedly applauded

Some of the best reciters

 An equally conspicuous evidence or Japanese heartlessness Is the manner m which insane people are treated. up to a very short time ago there were no m stitutions of any sort provided for these unfortunates, and they were confined m open cages like wild beasts and allowed to starve and freeze or famish from thrlst and burn up in the hot summer sum- as the case might be. Such abject crueity cannot be believed of sane human beings but in Japan 1t is not by any means thing of the past.

CRUELTY IN JAPAN.
People Are in Many Ways Brutal and
 Inhuman.


 Eleanor Franklin in Leslie's Weekly.
 The proof, to my mind, that the Japan-- ese as a people are inherently cruel lies in the fact that the grossest inhumani- ties such as would draw a protesting crowd in any other country, seem to pass absolutely unobserved on the streets of Japanese cities I was asked the other day to deliver an address before the ladies of the Japanese Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Tokyo and at the instant 1 rather vel coned what seemed to me an opportunity to tell about few of the atrocitieslhave myself seen perpetrated during my year residence in the country, but when l out lined my intentions I was told that they would never do; that as foreigner l must say only nice. complimentary things to my audience; l must confine myself to stories of cruelties in others lands and gain my point by observing with pride that such things could never hap pen in an enlightened land like Japan where the people are gentle and full or sympathetic understanding for the suffer- ings of the least of the creatures of earth But 1t takes longer than year, even in this country, to learn well the art of in- direction, so I declined the proffered honor on the plea of my inability to meet the requirements. I could not remember ever having seen in any other country anything that could be compared to the exhibitions of brutality that are so com- mon over here.
 To begin with, the Japanese are cruel to themselves and cruel to each other, and their standard of mercy seems to be So low that they cannot recognize as cruelties things which impress us as atrocities.

and rules the sea. For centuries the Mediterranean man has been building fleets for the Baltic mans pleasure to destroy" Moreover, Hayelock Ellis stu dies in the national portrait gallery lead him to suppose that England's power rests in greater part on her blond sons. He says that the small group of promi- nert people springing from the working classes is among the darkest of the group. He says it is clear that a high index of blondness or an excess of fairness pre- vails among the men of restless and am bilious temperament, the sanguine, ener- getic men, the men who easily dominate their fellows, and who get on in life the men who recruit the aristocracy, and who doubtless largely form the plutoc- racy. It is significant, he further notes, that the group of low class men, artisans. peasants and the men of religion, whose mission in life Is to practice and preach resignation to a higher will, are both not ably dark. While the men of action tend to be fair the men of thought show some tendency to be dark.
 Blond Symbol of Aristocracy.
 In the royal family MT. Ellis found an early tendency toward fairness, but by later Tudor times there was a tendency toward darkness, while the light mixed type of eye. usually blue-yellow, has re- mained persistent. It Is from the fair ele- ments, he observes. that the aristocracy Is chiefly recruited, although in the course of a few generations there Is tendency to brunetteness in these families, probably from the tendency of the blond men to marry brunette women.
 The blonds, nevertheless, despite their prowess and power, are vanishing race. as Major Woodruff's arguments and au- thorities indicate. He finds that Great Britains brunettes are absorbing tho blonds, that the blond type is less resist ant and that there are fewer instances of long life among them than among the brunettes. They form an undue pro- portion of England's invalids. and are prone to certain mortal maladies which are withstood by the brunettes.

This Is a young mans town. There are probably more young men in positions of responsibility and importance in Birming- ham than in any other city of the same size in the United States. It is an in spiration to stand at the corner of the big office buildings late in the afternoons and watch the streams of fine young faces issuing from the doors. Ability, determi- nation, hope. are stamped upon every countenance.
 Speaks for Birmingham.
 And there is another fact which should be heralded far and wide, because it is the very best kind of advertisement for Birmingham. And that is, very few Bir- mingham young men go wrong, either by the betrayal of trust or by being prin- cipals in affairs which are aired in the police court. The young man of Birming ham enjoys life, but he enjoys it sanely. He goes in for athletics and other diver

Those who are not married may have loved ones dependent upon them They, too should own their homes.

REALTY SENDS A MESSAGE TO THE FINE YOUNG MEN
 OF THE MAGNET CITY.

REALTY'S message to the young men, and that is NOW-not next month or next year--is the time to make provision for the home. Real estate In Birmingham is constantly advancing in value. Prices to- day are considerably higher than they were a year ago Residence property which was selling last December at s20 to s30 a front foot now readily brings s35 to $45.
 A Startling Contingency.
 This has been prosperous year for Birmingham, but as REALTY has taken occasion to say heretofore. 1905 is but the prelude to the newer and greater period of prosperity which the new year will usher in Every condition which makes the industrial outlook for the whole country the brightest in many years, and the one which has the promise of longest con- tinuance, Is working in behalf of Birming- ham. Time can no more be used as the

measure of growth of this city, for on any day now announcements may be made of the consummation of plans which will thrust Birmingham ten years ahead of her present place in the industrial world. This is not a possibility, but a very rational probability. The effect upon-the prices of real estate Is easily imagined. In other words, prices which are now comparative ly low and which place desirable home property within the reach of the young man of limited means, may at any time In the not distant future leap beyond his grasp.
 Good Advice for All.
 This is contingency which the young men of this city will do well to reflect upon; they will do better if they will act in accordance with it's obvious sugges- iions. And this advice which REALTY has offered directly to the young men, is advice which may be followed with profit by all who intend to make Birmingham then permanent place of residence.

OLD FATHER ADAM
 WAS A BRUNETTE Army Surgeon Says First Men
 Were Brown HOW BLONDS DEVELOPED Dark Country Where There Are Clouds and Mountains Produced This
 Type-Evoluton Required
 Thousands of Years.

From the Washington Post.
 Adam was neither white nor black, but had medium brunette complexion. Oth- erwise put, Maj. c. E. Woodruff, M D., of the United States army, who has spent many years in the tropics as well as much effort In research, finds that the first men were brown. From these some evolved Into blackness. others into whiteness, the character of the evolution depending sole ly upon the climate of the lands whither they migrated.
 Major Woodruff elucidates his argument by learned expositions about sunlight and manifold examples of national and racial complexions. but suffice 1t to set forth here that for the blondness to develop dark country is needed. His law is that the blondness of a European native is proportioned to the cloudiness of its coun- try, and his map of Europe is a chart Of human complications. This beautifully shows why in Great Britain the blonde should persist in the north and die out in the south

BIonds in Mountain Countries.


 The law he says, undoubtedly explains in part at least the phenomenon of in- creasing blondness in mountains as com- pared with surrounding plains. The noun tains are notoriously more cloudy, foggy ana rainy, and. have less sunshine than the plains a rule, excepting such pla- teaus of Tibet. When the sun does shine there Is protection of trees, late sunrise and early sunset in the valleys.
 The blond Aryan type must have flowed south and asserted its supremacy early, for all tradition from prehistory shows the aristocracy and royalty to be of this type, even in lands densely brunette.
 Most of Poland's great men, such as Kosciusko, have been of this type, but the mass of Poles are too inert for Aryan independencies. Louis Kossuth, the Hun garian patriot was a blue-eyed Aryan of the ruling aristocrats; his father was a blue-eyed Aryan of the ruling aristocrats. His father was a lawyer of noble hneage and patriotic antecedents." His struggle for Hungarian independence was typically Aryan-"equal rights for every class, free dom for religious belief, trial by jury, free public instruction, and the annual meeting of the diet
 Investigations show the general tenden- cy to the blond, tall, long-headed type among, the upper classes of Russia and Poland in contrast to the Asiatic type, which is sometimes called Alpine. This association of blondness with wealth and rank by Dr. Woodruff is exactly the op- | posite of. the theory of Prof. N. Vaschde | of the University of Nicefero. According | to him, blondness and low stature, want of nourshment and hardship walk hand | in hand. He too adduces statistics In fa- | yOr of his argument

gott and a son has been born TO him
for whom he claims divine origin.
The sect calls itself the Agapemo-
mites, and the elders live in a luxuri-
Gus mansion named "The Abode OF
Love-" at Spaxton, Somerset.
Smyth-Piggott was formerly cler-
gyman in the Church of England. He
has succeeded in persuading a large
number of women and a few men that
he is the Messiah, returned to earth,
and induces them to worship him.
The baby that has just come to the
Abode of Love is regarded by the
Agapemonites as divinely sent, and it's
mother, Ruth Greece, a young girl of
striking beauty, who has come under
Piggott's influence, is looked on as
the spiritual bride of the leader of the
sect
The name Glory Piggott was given
to the infant at an elaborate christen-
ing ceremony. To make the ceremony
legal, the district registrar was sum-
moned to the Abode of Love. At the
door of the mansion the registrar was
met by a woman.
Are you the registrars" she said
excitedly.
Yes he replied, "I am"
Then" she added, dramatically
you are about to be admitted into
the presence of the Almighty. Follow
me-
The registrar obeyed and was led
into the chapel. Forty persons were
there, all except the registrar, Pig
gott, and his secretary being women.
The women were grouped in a silent
worshiping crowd, with their eyes
fixed on couch. Here in costly cling
ing robes lay a beautiful young wom-
an. the mother of the baby. At the
foot of the couch was the infant.
