Clothing ms Physical Records

An excellent Illustration Of the value
Of records has been afforded lately re-
garding the question OF physical de-
generacy. A firm IN the north of Eng
land has compared the measurements
for clothing made two generations aga
with those Of today, the results going
g show that chest and hip measure
ments are now three inches on the av-
erage more than they were 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 deSeneracy. They
are what we should expect from the
more abundant and cheaper food Of
the people. their better housing and

NicrcRe of Old Age.


In ieCtuYe On oiu age, delivered
by DR.. Menchnikoff, the speaker ex-
pressed the opinion that senIlity was
produced by certain physiological
states which cause the benefcent
species OF microbes called macroph-
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-
trely lacking. The result was shown
In the person Of the doctors own dog,
which was decrepit at eighteen, while

that senllity is An infectious disease,
and 1t should oe possible to treat II
like other maladies. TO cure It or pre-
vent It."
The hope was expressed by DR..
Lenchnihof that a serum would short

macroph2ges and prolong human life:

Upon careful investigation |
have satisfied myself that many

Catarrh is a blood disease and
cannot be permanently cured by

can be stopped with the inhaler,
but the blood must be cleansed Of
all Catarrhal poiBons before per-
manent cure can be effected. So

THE DIAMOND.
CONNECTICUT
 NEW ENGLAND
Springfield and Holyoke Show the New England Leaguers How Base Ball Is Played Here.

Springfield, Sept 12.-To the daily visitors to Hampden park, Concord names and faces appeal with as much force as the cast of characters in Chinese play, with photos of the au- thor of the production. Concord didn't do much either, yesterday to get bet ter acquainted with the public. But those who sat back and declared that New England league base ball was far behind the kind we are used to might remember that sometimes during the recent Connecticut campaign certain sets of persons made the Ponies look unfit for base ball classification.
 William Rogers of Meriden, who has been fiinging his foolers from the midst of team that has never been real stout in its most husky moments, felt so delighted at the chance to be backed up well that he made tlfei Con- cords uncomfortable. Lefty used a shoulder-high ball with varied speed effects and 1t was delivered according to the most approved methods.
 Concord made five hits off the Ponies recruit and in only one inning the eighth. when two safeties and the lone base on balls of the game were crowded together, did the New Hamp- shire men feel familiar enough with Rogers to slap his shles for more than one safety fin turn. The tightness of Rogers prevented Concord from mak' ing a start toward doing much.
 The Ponies played keenly. From the beginning of the game the players seemed to realize that nothing good would be forwarded to them without first making personal application. so the Ponies braced and went after runs and the other things. With misplays showed out of the proceedings, Spring field would have been l to o winner two Pony tallies fin the first being made possible by Kane's nun of light pop. The score:

weeks, should you find customer, you may call on me there, and by paying the cash, you can procure any number of machines, at two dollars each, or what ever counties you want. at $1O0."
 Two days later, gentleman of fine ad- dress called. He was about 30 years of age, wore silk hat and tailor-made suit of clothes, was glib of tongue, and carried fair-sized valise. He came just at dusk, and introducing himself as a fire insurance agent explained that he was travelling on foot, was somewhat tired and weary, and wanted to procure supper, lodging and breakfast.
 After supper and during the evening, while talking fire insurance, and after having displayed his papers, blank ap- plications, door plates, etc., he began dis cussing other subjects, and topics of the day. Directly he remarked that he in tended to resign his position with the insurance company, and engage in some thing where he could make money faster, and alluded to a former experience in which he had made lot of money in a short time, handling patent right. i. This, for the first time, reminded the farmer that he was agent for mighty fine patent, and forthwith he brought out the washing machine the general agent had left with him
 The following morning the insurance agent explained in worn-out, exhausted

of Illinois in patent gate and door spring, and went to that state, among relatives, to sell the spring attachments and to dispose of the territory. On ar irving at the home of one of my farmer relatives, found them all in.a ,turpoil and in a-frame of mind to lynch anyone in the patent right business.
 A few days before my arrival, very slick, well-dressed gentleman had called upon one of their rich neighbors, and represented himself to be the general agent of a washing machine. He was anxious to establish an agency for the sale of both the machine and county or state rights, and said to the farmer:
 Now, sir, you have been recommend ed to me as being just the man am look ing for, and to start with, I want to as- sure you that don't propose to give you a penny of my money, nor do l ask for c penny of yours. Idon't propose to give

manner, that he had not slept more than an hour. and then had dreamed of sell ing washing machines galore, and town ship and county rights by the score.
 While at the breakfast table, he ven tured to ask the farmer, 1Uhat -heeonld sell him 20 counties for, and producing state map, he selected the counties he wanted. The farmer carefully thought the matter over, and although he thought $500 a county would enable the insurance man to make plenty of money, by cutting them updnto township rights, still he would let him have them (if he took 20 counties) at s20o each.
 The insurance man thought the price rather high, and dickered along until about eight o clock in the morning, when he made the farmer point blank offer of s15O county, for the 20 counties. He said, as he did so, that he had formerly been a school teacher in place several
