BODY WEIGHT AND VITALITY.

It is better to be underweight than overweight. This is the con- cusioL of Dr Brandreth Symonds in study of life insurance weights pub lished recently by the Medical Rec ord. Easing his observations upon two records independently complied. embracing 100000 weights of males shod and clad in ordinary clothing, Dr Symonds finds that the standard weight of little men increase stead fly with age up to the year 45; to the year 50, among middle-sized men, and to the year 55, or even 50, for tall men. Each added inch in height adds per cent to the weight. Women at the age of 20 are six to nine pounds lighter than men of the same height at 20, but the difference between men and women gradually diminishes with age. The lowest death rate, docs not coincide with the standard weight" this being found In the class that is about 5 per cent below the standard. But persons under 30 who are to 10 per cent above standard weight have also an unusually low death rate. At any age above 30, however, the ratio of actual deaths to expected deaths rises with the percentage of overweight. For example, group of men feet inches tall, each weighing 195 pounds, which is 30 per cent too much, would have a mortality of TIP, as against 100 ex- pected deaths. On the other hand, 30 per cent excess weight at the age of 22 would give mortality of S7 per cent which is mot much lar ger than that of well-selected lives" but 30 per cent in excess at this age begins to be dangerous. Long lived ancestry does not reduce the excessive mortality of overweights above 30 years, while short-livef ancestry "is bad" Overweight for eigners seem to be worse risks" than overweight natives. Under weight persons show as great defic- iency of organic diseases of the heart as the overweights show an excess, and this holds true of cerebral con- gestions and hemorrhage. apoplexy and paralysis. Bright's disease and cirrhosis of the liver. But under weights are more subject to pneu- monia and tuberculosis. Neverthe- less. the person who is slightly un- derweight, as noted above, has bet ter chance of living than one of average weight, and in all the ages above 30, weight falling even 20 per cent below the insurance tables average does not appreciably in- crease the mortality.-New York Times

BIsPHAM AN ARTIST.
The Concert Last Evening Thorough.
 Iy Enjoyed by Large Audience.

Under the auspices of the St Johns Musical association the musi- cal season of 1908-9 in Waterbury was formally opened in the Bucking- ham last evening by David Bispham, baritone, assisted by Harold Osborn Smith, pianist. Once more the size of the audience recalled with force the fact that no matter how great the artist or his programme Water bury, musically, will not crowd to his support.
 MT Bispham is great artist and as singer of ballads stands in the first rank of his profession. Per- haps there are those who can see a slight sign of the wearing of age in his voice but none can find any fault with his delightful method of recitative, his perfect enunciation and the splendid dramatic fire which inspires each selection.
 MT Elephants programme of last evening was divided into four parts: Old songs, songs by classical com posers, operatic songs and modern songs. The entire programme was sung in English, every word being clearly understood throughout the large hall. In the first group MT Bispham rendered the air Consider, 0 My Soul" from Bachs St John 8 Passion" A selection from Haydn's "The Seasons" followed. Both of these old selections so seldom heard being delightfully."- rendered.
 The singer departed from the con- ventions before his next song "The Frost Scene" from Purcell's anti- quated King Arthur" and explain ed to the audience a bit of the his tory of the opera and the meaning of the song. This was one of the delightful numbers of the evening. The real, Bispham style, however. was heard for the first time an old Dead Men," which had the rollick- ing spirit which MT Bispham dem- onstrates with ability.
 A group of the classics was sung next including songs by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schumann. Gounod and Chopin, all splendidly rendered. This group was by far the most en- joyable part of the recital and it is regretted that the remainder of the programme was not in keeping with the standard set by these numbers. As an encore, MT Bispham sang Schumann's ''Hark, Hark, the Lark"
 Two operatic songs from Ivan hoe" by Sullivan followed with an air from Goring Thomas's "Esmer- elda." A group of modern songs with rollicking old English air. Young Richard" closed the pro- gramme. The last number of the evening was Walter Damrosch's stir ring military song, Danny Deever," always request number on MT Bispham's programmes and sung last evening in his best style. MT Bis pham will stand at the head of his class of singers for several years to come and will always ', a welcome visitor here.
 Accompaniments were skillfully played by Harold <. Smith, who was also heard In piano solo, the fa- nous Chopin Polonaise in A fiat major which was encored with an- other Chopin number.

POLI'S

THE WALL STREET DETECTIVE"
 A cordial greeting awaits Howard Hall at Polls this evening where he presents his latest play, "The Wall Street Detective" He will be seen also on Saturday, matinee and night. Mir Hall has deserved reputation, both as an author and an actor, and he has developed particular line of drama in which mirth, mystery and romance are commingled with very happy results. MT Hall Is always realistic in his stories, and perusal of the plot of his latest play indicates that he has overlooked nothing of recent new value. The big bond rob bery of few years ago, which is still unsolved; the recent financial panic; an attempted Black Hand outrage; the projected wrecking of motor boat and other exciting events figure as what might be termed scare head lines" of the story.

Plus X carries at his girdle an old watch of base metal, the face clipped with a plain leather guard. He was looking at his watch the other day when a Roman noble. whom he had given an audience. produced his own riehly-chased and jeweled gold watch and begged the pope to accept it in exchange for the much-worn time piece. which he said he should regard as a priceless possession The pope gently declined. Tt was present from my dear mother" he said. "I was quite small boy when she gave 1t to me with this very same leather guard am wearing now. I promised to keep 1t until 1t was worn out be- yond repair. It must be a good watch, for 1t has never disappointed me yet. ''rCleveland Leader.
