THE HICKORY TREE.
Il 10 Wholly American and Belongs to
Us Alone. esq

- s'Nbss
Strictly speaking, there is only
one American tree-only one tree
family, that is--no member of
which has ever been found on any
other continent. This is the hick-
DRY. 1t belongs to us alone, and
its very name is legacy from the
former owners of the land. The
"Historie of Travaile Into Virginia
Brtanhia" says:
Hickory is derived from the In
dian name of the liquor obtained
by pounding the kernels. These
the Indians beat into pieces with
stones and putting them, shells and
all, into mortars, mingling water
with them, with long wooden pes
tells pound them so long together
until they make kind of mylke, or
osIle liquor, which they call Pow
c0h.cora."
There are nine varieties of this
tree on the American continent,
and, although the tree is "A stranger
to Europe, and so has not shared in
the legacy of ancient legend and
story with the oak, the ash and the
other trees familiar to Greek and
Teuton, it has made up for its pow
ertY in this respect since the time
of the early settlers in its own ma
tive country. Its qualities are cell
ebrated in the American pr0yerb,
Tough as hickory" And VIC all
remember the nickname Of pre-i-
dent jackson, "Old Hickory"

hickory played its part. for the
ramrods of our forcfathcrs were
ma,,e from its wood. Commercial
Is j, is valuable where a strong and
cla,e grained wood is needed, anu
no doubt the excellence of the
American ak is due quite a. much
to its handle Of hickory as to the
quality of its steel.
Hickory nuts were highly appre-
ciated by the Indiaas. Bertram in
his Travels In North America"
states that he has seen over a hum
drcd bushels OF these nqts belong
ing to one family. The Indian
name Of the nut appears in English
as kiskitomas, klsktyom and Risky
thomas, all OF which are probably
corruptions of the word kwaska-
damenne, a word which we trans
late BY the phrase, at must be
cracked BY the teeth" The Indians
certainly had the secret Of creating
what Humpty Dumpty called port
manteau words"
In the hungry DAYS Of spring. be-
fore the earth was producing other
food. the Indians are said to have
kept of starvation by eating the
young buds of the hickory. Having
tried to follow in their footsteps. |

THE IDEAL HEIGHT.
For a Man II Is an Inch and a Hall
Under Six Feet.


Recruits who are much over six
feet to arc not desired for the
,n!ted otates army. There are ex-
ceptions, of course; but, as a rule,
men who run much over six feet
lack depth of chest and by reason
Of inadequate lung capacity fall be-
low the average in power of endur-
ance.
The ideal height for a man, ac-
eording to observations from mil
ltary point of view, is an inch and a
half under six feet, 1t does not
seem to be intended by nature that
the male human animal shall ex-
coed this stature if due regard is to
be had for development at ali
points. On the other hand, it is an
obvious disadvantage for physical
effectiveness to be under the aver
age number of inches. At five feet
ten and half a man attains his
best development of muscle and
bone, with highest vital efficiency.
Just what is tle average height
for man seems to be not satisfac-
torily settled. Obviously it differs
largely with race, we and the jap
anese representing among civilized
peoples the two extremes. On the
other hand, the American Indians
are taller than we are, and the
aborigines of Patagonia are the
loEt!cst folk in the world, ina>much
as the men commonly run over six
feet in height. When the early
Spanish explorers described them
a. race of giants they were not
far from the fact.
Even in the United States the
stature seems to vary considerably
with locality. During the civil war,
from the beginning TO the end of
which our government put into the
field and on board of lighting ships
more than 100000 men. the tall
est recruits came from Kentucky.
averaging over five feet eight and
half inches. Kansas. Minnesota,
Missouri, California and Nevada
came next in the order given, all
Of them over five feet eight. Maine,
Illinois and Michigan averaged five
feet seven and four-ffth inches and
Ohio and Pennsylvania a trihe less. |
Recruits from Massachusetts, and
Connecticut stood at the foot Of the
list, measuring five feet six and a |
half inches.
After fifty years of age the hui
man body begins to undergo a pro.
gresslve sh-lnkage. Not only do
the muscular tissues lose bulk, but
even the bones become smaller. |
Meanwhile there is a contraction Of |
the cartjlaginous tissue between the
yertebrae Of the backbone. which
causes a loss Of height, a man orig |
inally six feet tall frequently losing |
