he has never taken a drink or used
tobacco in any form during his entire
career and his bodily appearance app
parently demonstrated the truth Of
his claims. He was the very picture
OF health and strength.
Though only weighing 1872 pounds,
Attell has met and defeated many op-
ponents heavier than himself. In fact
he has only one defeat to his credit,
that having been decision given to
an opponent on foul. Later he met
the same man and won in four rounds.
He has already met and defeated

Galgallus produced &c bushels per
acre whereas Dale wheat in another
portion of the same field had a yield
of but 90 bushels to the acre. So the
superiority of the Galgullus seems
evident
But not only does Galgallus yield
well but 1t promises to bring blue
stem prices, another feature that
should make 1t appeal to farmers.
The McCartys were induced to send

People of Other Planets.

Calculations as to the size required
for human beings on the other planets
vary widely according to the basis Of
reckoning. According to those based
upon the attraction of gravity, Jupiter
should be peopled by pygmies OF 20
inches. Wolfius, on the other hand,
argued that Goliath himself would be
accounted decidedly understood upon
that planet. He worked from the
feebleness of the suns light there.
which would demand that the pupil Of
the eye should be much more dilata-
BILE. Since the pupil stands In con
slant proportion to the ball Of the eye,
and that to the entire body. said
Wolf1us, a little calculation shows
that an average Jovian must be nearly
thirteen feet seven inches tall-not
quite four inches shorter than Og, king
of Bashan, according to the measure
of his bedstead given in Deuteronomy.

Of farm animals there were produced
for the market last year $4,525,259 600.
Half a century ago, when the stats
t;cians first began to busy themselves
about such things, the record was
$544, 1S0, 900, showing that the farmer
has been doing his duty by his coun-
try and his family as well as by the
manufacturer, the miner, and the rail-
road man.
The ~postofice has grown from an In
stitution with 903 branches in 1900 to
nearly 10000 today.
The salaries paid public school
teachers have increased from $37, 000,-
900 In 1870, to $197, 900, 900 this year,
and the number of kilograms sent over
the wires has jumped from 5000, 900
40 years ago to 80, 900, 900, or there
abouts, this year.
These figures, while eloquent. give
but a faint idea of what has hap
pened In u material welfare depart
ment within the space of 134 Fourths
of July. With airships floating, or
about to float, above the cities; with
messages to Mars almost released and
answered, with radium ready to revo-
lutiorize the scientific world-why is
1t no fail to presume that before 1874
more anniversaries occur the United
States will show ven more marvellous
progress in the world of nations?

Words That Are Out of Style,

Most old English words have fallen
from their high estate and are now
banned in the best society. at any
rate in Mayfair and Belgravia OF
these Is the Saxon word lady" which
we are told is derived from loaf
giver."
In 1910 we speak of a woman" and
the word lady" has become almost a
term of reproach. A young single
woman is a girl-pronounced "gyirl"
the name young lady" is re-
served for barmaids. shop hands and
telephone operators.
Then the word dress" used to de-
scribe the outer garment of our moth
ers and grandmothers, but gowns"
and "frocks" are worn by women Of
the twentieth century. Also we may
talk of relations" but not of "rela-
~tives;" and the most venerable Of
rooster must be called a Chicken" as
the word fowl" has sunk almost to
the level of low language.-Queen.

Male Fashions In 1850.

Male fashions of 60 years ago had
other discomforts besides long hair.
Trousers were tight and buttOned I'M
der the foot with broad straps. Every
man who aspired to be well dressed
wore his coat SO high in the collar
that the back of the hat rested upon
it. This fashion was 81 prevalent
that, according to Sir Algernon West,
every hot had a crescent of cloth
on the back of the brim to prevent
the rubbing of the beaver, or imita-
ton beaver, of which the hat was
made, for silk hats were not then III
vented And from the same author
ity we learn that opera hats were
unknown, and In the evening a fold
ing chapeau bras was always carried
under the arm. Nobody but an
apothccary or a solicitor would have
dreamed of leaving his hat IN the hall
of the house where he was calling or
dining"

Lost Bill Under a Plaster.

The mystery of the disappearance OF
a $50 bill, which has disturbed a Mid
dletown business man and his family
for a week, and which caused consid-
cradle unpleasantness, has been solved.
Suspicion attached to at least two
members Of the mans household. A
week ago he planned a business trip
to New York. That evening he laid nu-
merous bank notes on the dresser OF
his bedroom. A $50 bill was on top.
Next morning he missed 1t. That night
his wife put a porous plaster on his
back. This morning he wanted to get
it off and called his wife to assist.
When she got the plaster off the miss
ing bill was found fast on the inside
Of the plaster.-Exchange.
