Stature Of Man.

A common average of north Euro
pean men is five feet nine and one
fourth inches. The question opens
an interesting prospect in the study
of the races of mankind, for stature
Is one of the minor differences OF
race. The lowest average stature Is
that of the pygmy races, 81 inches
having been recorded from several dis.
tinct sources in Indonesia. AT the 9TH
er extreme 70h inches has been de.
termined from many series OF obser
vations upon Polynesians of the Ton
gatfiti migration, thus placing them
above the Araucanians Of Patagonia
who were long considered the tallest
of men. The present system of class
ification of the races OF men erects It's
first division upon the hair and sec
ondary divisions hereunder upon the
stature. The races Of many inches UNI
der the several classes are the negro,
Ethiopian, Indo-Afghan, Arab, Berber,
the fair haired northern Europeans,
Polynesians, North American Indians,
Patagonians. The races markedly
below the average height are the
Bushmen, negritos, Dravidha. hero
insular, the flaXen haired eastern Eu-
ropeans, Ainu. Indonesian, South
American Indian, Central American,
Eskimo, Lapp.-New York Sun.

Evan rose and went to the railing
OF the yeranda, whence one could see
the winding road, scarcely more than
well-trodden trail, which led from
the town to the house on the hill.
Shading his eyes from the binding
glare of the nearly level sun rays, he
peered downward for some moments
before responding. Then, saying la

Shortly there became audible the
soft thud of hoofbeats and the creak-

the cracking of a whip and the en-

The road curved behind the house,
