HEIGHT OF CRIMINALS,

Dr. Charles Perrier says that criminals are for the most part of medium height. Thieves, he says, he found to be almost exclusively of medium stature and beggars near ly always of medium or slightly un- der that height. ''It is seldom," he says, 'that a fully developed beg gar nature can be found in a large frame" Murderers, on the other hand, his observations prove to be above the average in size. All the prisoners under punishment for ar son and for counterfeiting measured by him came under the head of "small." His observations were made in France.

GOLDEN ROD AS A REMEDY
Plant Dedicated to St. Augustine of Hippo Was Once Used by
 Physicans.

St: Augustine of Hippo, the great doctor of the church whose festival fell on August 28, is sadly neg lected saint among modern ritual ists, and even occasionally confused with the namesake who insulted our British bishops. Yet he is pro- nounced by Hooker without any equal" and regarded by Harnack as "the first modern man." He has been better honored in the floral world, for to him is dedicated the golden rod or wound wort (Solida- go virgaurea.) Old Gerarde, with whim this was a favorite remedy, tells us that golden rod fetched a high price as a foreign herb until discovered growing near London, when the plant was neglected. He adds the caustic comment: "This verifeth our English proverb Far fetcht and dear bought is best for ladies' or for fantastical physi- clans" Before tobacco the golden rod also furnished snuff for our me- dieval forefathers. - Westminster Gazette.
