Relief for the Starving Elk.

Director Hornaday of the Bronx

Club of America has succeeded, as
Chairman Of the clubs Legislative
Committee, in obtaining from Congress
$50, 900 for the relief of the starving
elk in the Jackson's Hole country of
wyoming. Other great herds Of elk
with which the Government has stock
ed the Yellowstone Park, have migrat-
ed. But the customary excellent graz
ing in the Jackson's Hole district had
been picked over and exhausted by
other animals before the elk arrived
This circumstance, together with the
fact that the elk have been breeding
in greater numbers than usual, COM
bined to produce a pitiable famine. The
creatures are tanned by weakness and
starvation Thousands of them are
stalled in the deep snow and suspend
ed upon ranch fences which they have
vainly attempted to leap Relief

RICE EATER NOT
THE STRONG MAN
AMERICANS ARE STRONGER
THAN ORIENTALS.

New York, March 17.-Many are the
tales of the wonderful endurance and
strength of the rice eaters. We have
been told how the Japanese, Chinese
and Hindu young men are capable OF
standing terrific exposure and hard
ship. These somewhat common beliefs
however, have been rudely shattered by
DR.. D. c. Hall, physical director Of
the University of Wisconsin. For
more than two years he has been COM
piling comparative records. To-day
results are at hand that show the Am
erican young man represented by the
college student to be physically super
Tor to his cousins of the Orient DR..
Halls observations are given as fol-
lows:
"The American college man is heav-
Ter, stronger and taller than the Chi
nese, Hindu or Japanese student. The
American averages 142 and a fraction
pounds in weight, while the native OF
China comes next with an average Of
124 pounds, with the Japanese in third
place with an average of liz pounds.
The average Hindu tips the beam at
100 pounds. The American has an av-
erage height of feet s inches, and the
Hindu comes next with an average OF
5 feet 49, inches.
According to DR.. Hall the most
result of the physical COM
parison of the students of different ma
tionalities was obtained in the
tests. The American is first
with 1,424 pounds. but the Chinaman'
is a close second with an average Of
1881 pounds to his credit, leaving the
Japanese, the reputed iron man of
the Russo-Japanese warm third place
with an average of only 1908 pounds.
The Hindu is a bad fourth with S13
pounds as the average strength test,
and Mr.. Halls explanation of the
weak physical makeup of the Hindu
students is the fact that they are vege-
tarians and do not exercise regularly
enough.
''Dr. Hall also prepared a table to
show the increase in physical vigor
and endurance after a years work In
the college gymnasium, and the gener-
al improvement is so great that enc
mics of military drill at the univer-
city urge that the benefit Of years
work in the gymnasium is more pro-
ductive of gain in physical improve
ment than the corresponding time
spent in carrying a musket over the

ST. PATRICK'S
DAY COTILLION
Decorations Of Green and
Appropriate Favors Lend
a Delightful Air to Enter
tainment.

A formidable rival in effectiveness
to a Valentine dance is one held on
ST. Patrick's Day. The keynote is
humor rather than sentiment and the
green of decorations makes a splendid
background for delicate evening
gowns.
An impromptu cotillon can be ar
ranged in a short time if one does
not go in for too elaborate favors.
Send the invitations on paper sham
rocks lettered in gilt and ask the
guests to "come trip some Irish jigs
on st. Patrick's Eve.''
Keep the decorations green and
white with high lights of gilt. Buy
others stamped with shamrocks, also
have sheets of green cardboard and
sheets of gilt paper.
Cut shamrocks of three sizes from
the cardboard and string them to gilt
cord so they dangle at different
lengths. Festoon walls, doorways
and curtains. with these making al
ternately a deep curve and a shallow
one. Cut the shamrock stamped pa
per into bows and ends to place at the
point of the curves. Make the knot
of each bow Of gilt.
Stand potted plants around and
make a. screen of them for the music
CONST each pot Win ITlIIS OI TIE pam
green paper, also drape mantels with
it first, putting on top pots Of clover
and ferns, inverted on the lower rows
so the pots do not show.
Be sure to have a harp in the Or
chestra. If but a few pieces are
engaged, have piano, violin and harp
for a st. Patrick's Day dance. Make
sure that they can play some Of the
old Irish jigs and dance music.
For favors have sets appropriate to
the occasion.
Huge shillalahs for the men, and ca
ses of court-plaster made in shamrock
shape in green silk for the girls.
Big sacks filled with potatoes-or
stimulated ones of paper for the men
to carry on their backs and a milking
stool and pail for the girls. These
should be gilded and tied with green
ribbon.
The Irish flag ON tall gilded stick
for men, and garlands and wreath of
shamrock and white clover for the
girls.
For one Of the figures have a pota-
to race. The couples who have ia
vored one another are lined up at one
length of it with a big potato on a
spoon. Those who reach the judges
stand most nearly at the same mo-
ment dance together for the rest of
the figure, whether the winners hap
pen to be of the same or of opposite
sex.
For another figure have a regular
Irish Jig, up the center and down the
sides, caper cutting, heel clicking and
all. This will be somewhat rompy,
but great sport.
