The Female Form.

A famous German scientist who has
made life study of the beauty of wo-
men of all nations con ,ide's that he
found the most perfect and harmoni-
GUS development of form among the
Japanese. His ideal proportions differ
slightly from the standards of beauty
left us by the Greeks, and he gives the
following as his ''normal proportions"
of the perfect figure from averaging
the measurments Of. many:
"The height should be seven and a
half times the length Of the head, ten
times the length of the face, and the
legs four times the length of the head.
The shoulders should be two heads
wide, and when standing erect, per.
fectly developed legs should touch at
the knees, the calves and the ankles, y
Here, however, are some other meas
urments which artists generally recog.
nize as a standard Of beauty: The
stretch of the thumb and middle I'm.
ger should just measure the length oI
the face; the thumbs and second fin
gers should exactly circle the neck,
while the thumbs and middle fingers
should exactly circle the level OF the
shoulders.

law the south would now have riots

Mr.. Patterson is the nominee of the
democracy. He stands for the progress

ress IN every respect, in and through

Tennessee. He is a brilliant young
democrat who has made political rec
ord in congress and is filled with the
ideals Of the south and of his state.
1t is painful to think of the terrible
mental depression he is now under and
how melancholy must be the spirit with
which he goes before the people. But
he is brave and true aud with the help
of his party friends he will not, even
under the circumstances, be found
wanting in the courage which enables
him to preach the truths of democracy.

Simple Rules to Prevent tuberculosis In.
feCtOn in Schools


DIR. Knopf, who has made a study of
tuberculosis infection in the public
schools, writes as follows in ths Medic
al Record:
What are the predisposing canses of
tuberculosis duliug the school age?
Badly ventilated shool-rooms, overtax-
ing of the child's brain TO the detri-
ment of its physical development, un-
hygienic dress, particularly of school
girls, and in the poor, underfeedixg,
insufficient cloahing and bad housing,
often combined with child labor in
workshop, factory and even at home.
What are the direct causes of tuber-
culosis infection during school life?
Close association with tuberculosis fell
low pupils; very much more rarely the
carelessness of tuberculosis teacher
To describe the various sources OF in
fection during school life / believe l
cannot do better than to repeat here
the little list of rules which | like 10
see school teachers give to their pupils,
and which might serve as an alphabet
in the prevention of tuberculosis:
1. Every child and adult can be
helpful in fighting consumption. Shool
can help by complying with the fol-
lowing rules:
2. Do not spit except in a spittoon
or Q piece of cloth or a handkerchief

Both the senate and the house of rep
resentatives have committees on new
counties aDd county lines to which bills
of the above class are referred, but it
has evidently never occurred to the
members of these committees to look
into the constitutionslity of any bills
referred to them, although all take
oath on becoming members of the leg
islature to obey the constitution.
The carlessness and utter disregard
for the constitutional inhibitions in the
enactments of law is further illustrated
in the creation of the new counties
which have been established by the
legislature under the constitution of
1870. OF these new counties Chester is
the only one that contains the area
prescribed by the constitution, which
expressly provides that no new county
shall be established with less are than
975 square miles. The area of the new
counties is as follows Houston, 200
square miles; James, 100 square miles;
Moore, 145 square miles; Pickett, 145
square miles; Unicoi, 1S9 square miles.
In the act of 1875 creating Unicoi coun-
ty the constitution was violated in
three particulars. First, the county
was created with less area than pre-
scribed by that instrument; second,
to create the county territory was taken
from Washington county. which re.
duoed that county to less than SOC
square miles; and third, because of the
form of the act.
Chapter 69 of the Acts of 1875, by
which Unicoi county was established
is legislative curiosity and should
take rank in that connection with the
act of 1905 granting license to practice
law to Grovar Cleveland Sherrod, anG
providing that the act should take ef
feet at once, "the public welfare re
quiring it," The act by which Unico
was created purports in its caption t.
be an act to create the county of "Wis
dom" ont of parts of the counties o
Hardeman, McNairy and Madison. NJ
reference whatever is made in the cap
tion of the bill to Unicoi county. Thi
portion of the act was evidently addet
as rider aud in direct conflict will
the mandatory provisions OF the con
stitution, which provide that no bill
shall contain more than one subject
the subject to be expressed in the title
In future legislatures rule SHOULD
be adopted directing the committee Of
new counties and county lines to inves
tigate the constitutionality of all sue
measures. If this was done the statut
books would not be encumbered wit

turned Friday from a 10 days trip 70
the Illinois Valley, the greater part
OF which time they spent on Mr..
Whipple's farm near Takilma and at
his copper claims adjoining the IA
nous Queen of Bronze mines. They
report that the development wor be-
ing carried on at the Queen Of Bronze
and the other mines that supply ore
to the Takilma smelter. this Winter is

starts, which 1t is to do early in the
Spring, there will be ore enough
blocked ont to keep it running to its
foil capacity SO long as the roads keep
dry enough to permit coke to be
hauled in. Mr.. Whipple has his
claims opened up sufficiently to show
that they carry high grade copper ore
and apparently in large quantities.

Mr.. Bacus measured some big trees
