PAYS 100000 TO
RANSOM HIS SON

/. SHANGHAI, March BY paying
100000 10 brlgands. Sheng Kung Pao,
known as the Chinese Rockefeller tor
day ransomed his only son kidnapped
last week. The money was paid in
time to prevent the mutilation of the
boy the bandits having written that
for each day the payment OF the trib-
ute was delayed they would amputate
a member and send ii to the father.
Officials here claim that the general
mutiny is suppressed and that from
now on the situation cali be expected
to become quieter. The warships now
in Chinese waters, 1t is asserted, are
amply sufficient to protect all sor-
eigners.

People who use the Myrtle-st cars
nave complained against the new re-
routing plan. whereby the regular
Jefferson and Grand River cars would
be replaced by the smaller type. The
large Myrtle ears would be used on
the new Trumbull route. which il Is
proposed TO terminate at the city hall,
and the smaller cars would be used
on the Myrtle route, which would in
clude the easterly portion OF the pres
ent Trumbull route.
The ID. IT, X. stated that the large
cars could not go over the Congress
ST. bridge. The bridge has a rise OF
IS feet in 100, and the floor OF the
present Trumbull line cars clear the
hump by only one inch. The plans
cal for starting back several hun
dred feet on either side OF the bridge,
raising the tracks so the curve will
he more uniform.
THE Congress-st., Larned-st. and
Jefferson-ave bridges over the Grand
Trunk railroad were built In the
SOS and II is wonder they were
not replaced years ago." said the city
engineer The Congress-st. bridge
might be snsafe for heavy trucks, but
the Jeffer = and Larned bridges are
all right On an engineering stand
point. They % not appeal 10 me, how
ever, from an esthetic standpoint.
The Grand Trunk proposed TO
build a Sew bridge over Jefferson
ave. anG make 1t higher than the pres
ent bridge TO allow OF more head
room for its trains. The city opposed
that on the ground that 1t would
create too sharp a grade, and the
matter has not been decided.

SWISS WRESTLERS.
Curious Contests In Which They Dis
play Marvellous Strength.

Curious Contests In Which They Dis
play Marvellous Strength.
Wrestling seems to be an interna
tional sport. but one of the most curl
GUS styles to be seen is probably that
OF the Swiss. There is generally an
immense meeting of the wrestlers
every year, called the "swingerfest,' .
meaning literally the FESTIVAL OF
swinging" and to this festival come
the mountain men from all parts of
Switzerland.
1t takes place in an immense arena,
generally four or six couples wrestling
at the same time. with stands around
for the audience. The men who are
wrestling each wear q pair Of short
knickers, very loosely worn, and made
OF some stout material, with a leather
belt at the top to strap it on round the
waist. over their costume, and the idea
Is to catch their opponents by these
knickers and throw them. Both shoul-
ders must touch the ground, and the
men are not allowed to hold their op-
ponents except by the knickers.
OF course 1t Is mainly a question Of
brute strength, and on nearly all oc-
casions the mountain men prove the
better of the townsmen. Very often a
man will throw his opponent clean
over his shoulder through the air. and
when one considers that this must be
done only by gripping piece or sail
cloth or such like material In either
hand, at the height of a mans loins.
some idea can be gathered Of the
marvellous strength shown on these oc-
caSions.

How to Grow Tall.

A mans organs and those of his bones
which are not subjected to pressure
grow continuously until he is forty
years old-that is to say, the heart
| should become stronger, the capacity
of the lungs increase and the brain
should develop steadily until the fourth
decade Of life. Also one should wear a
larger hat at the age Of forty than at
thirty. A man ceases to grow tall, how
ever, at the beginning Of the third dec
ade, because after that time the down
ward pressure exerted by the weight of
the body while in the erect position
congresses the vertebrae or small
bones in the spine, the disks Of carti-
lage between them, the pelvis and the
thigh bones, and this pressure over
comes the natural elasticity of the
disks and the growth of these bones
However, a British scientist contends
that were man quadruped and there
fore freed from the downward pres
sure produced by his weight upon his
spinal column he would continue to
grow in height for ten years longer
than he does at present, since it has
been found that bones not subjected to
compression increase up to the fourth
decade.-Chicago Tribune.

Tho Wearing of Hats,

More or less of modern habit is the
constant wearing of hats. Even as late
as 1859 Horace Walpole mentions as a
matter Of course that he never wears a
hat Remember" he says, writing to
a friend notoriously careless about his
dress, who was expected home from
Holland, Everybody that comes from
abroad is supposed to come from
France, and whatever they wear at
their first temperance Immediately
grows the fashion. Now if, as Is very
likely, you should through inadver-
tence change hats with the master of a
Dutch smack in a weeks time we shall
all be equipped like Dutch shippers.
You see, speak very disinterestedly,
for, as l never wear hat myself, it is
Indifferent to me what sort of a hat I

the last few years was supposed to

years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounc-
ed it incurable. Science has prov
en- catarrh to be a constitutional dis
