The japanese Government has been
greatly exercised in its mind over the
low stature of tlPe soldiers, and it iap-
pointed commission TO study the
causes of this lack of height. and to
suggest a remedy. The commission has
published its report, and it ascribcs
the shortness of the Japanese to the
habit Of sitting on the heels instead of
on a chair. This attitude it holds, had
prevented the legs of the Japanese
from growing, and it suggests that the
children should for the future be made
TO sit in the European fashion.

The decrcase of s1a. oOo. Goa in exports

The decrease Of S19,00O,0 in eXports
of farm products the past year seems
10 have been mostly owing TO less
wheat to sell, without corresponding
rise in price. From the farmers point
of view it is. no doubt, to his advan-
tage that the increasing population
provides home market for more and
more of his produce, says the American
Cultivator, yet it is not wholly pleasant
TO witness our exporters shipping the
precious metal instead of the golden
grain TO make even the balance OF
trade.

No matter how restless a person is
before he goes to sleep, if in the end he
gets into sound slumber there is 10
physiological reason why his sleep
should be unsatisfactory. That is 10
say, If lie is restless before going to
sleep and then gets into good position
and maintains it for the usual number
of hours he is apt to be quite rested
and refreshed upon waking, says the

"A. Card.

The following card explains itself:
To Col. Griffith, State Penitentiary,
Columbia, G. G.
Dear Sir: At the monthly meet
ing of the Board of Regents of this
institution on the 1st met, the fol.
lowing resolutions were unanimously
passed:
That upon the invitation kindly
extended thie Board and its officers
by Col. Griffith, Superintendent of
the State penitentiary, to visit the
State fsrms, located in Sumter and
Kershaw counties, those of us who
could svailed ourselves of this oppor-
tunity on the 6th and 9th inst.
Resolved, that the thanks of this
entire Board be, aud hereby are, ex.
tended to both Col. Griffith and his
efficient assistants on account of
conrtesies shown us on the occasion
of our visit.
We found the magnificent property
under crops that indicated that they
had received the benefits of intensive
preparation and cultivation, which,
under this most efficient manage
ment, had resulted in thousands of
acres Of corn, cotton, peas, sorghum
and potatoes that were a marvel to
look upon. The dro7es of brood
mares, mule colts, improved cattle
and the hogs being raised upon these
farms also particularly attracted our
attention and admiration.
After seeing all these evidences of
profit to be derived from this prop
erty to help the State in the support
of it's convlcts We would deem it the
height of unwisdom for the citizens
OF this State to ever consent that this
most valuable property be sold.
