IN his East Side settlement work, Charles Pheon
L had acquired good knowledge of the language of
the dwelers in the congested district And during
the two wears that he had been married to Esther
Moscowitz his interest in his work of philanthropy
had heightened materially. Also he had obtained
keen insight into the nature of the people among
whom he worked; SO that when he entered the IL
brarv and faced his wlfe's father, mother. and
brother he was outwardly placid if he had
planned their coming and ready to welcome
their arrival

Phoenix the achievement of an
other Indian who is still living.
He is "Slim Jim," a Maricopa,
who lives in the lower reserva-

Almost twenty-five years ago
and as late as twenty two years
ago "Slim Jim" was employed to
run between Phoenix and the
fort at Prescott to carry dis

loving day.
He travelled over the Black
Canyon route. He always left
Phoenix on a swinging trot and
he always arrived at the fort on
the same kind of a trot. People
who now and then encountered
him on the way said that he was
always in the same gait. He never
seemed the worse for one of
these jaunts, and it used to be a
wonder how far he could run.

Longevity and Weight

A German physician thinks
that health and longevity are in
luenced by weight. He found
the greatest vitality and lowest
mortality In persons whose
weight is within 10 per cent of
the standard. His conclusions
are based on the records of 200,
600 males.
For the normal weight Of a
man 40 years old and 5 feet 6
inches tall 100 pounds is accept
ed. while the rule adding 5 per
cent in weight for each extra
inch proves fairly accurate. Fhe
standard weight increases with
age ia little men up to 10, III
middle sized men up to so and
in the tall up to So or 60
Standards for women are not
yet worked out, though it is
known that at 20 women are
from 6 to 8 pounds lighter than

WHERE THE CORN GOES.

People often wonder, particu
larly those who have travelled
for hundreds Of miles through
the corn belt, what becomes OF
the corn which is grown every
year. In the year 1903, when the
total crop was 1850, coo, 600
bushels, 24l, 100000 bushels were
consumed ia flour and griSt mill
products, 100000 bushels IN
the manufacture of starch, 5000, :
600 bushels for malt liquors, H.
600, 900 bushels in the production
of distilled liquors, 20, 000,0 eco
bushels for glucose, 10000, coo
bushels for export and $4,000, 900
bushels for seed, making total
of 518, 100000 bushels, or 1873
per cent Of the entire crop. The
remaining 60.7 per cent, or g,
lis, 900, 600 bushels seems to have
been used almost entirely for
