Why Japs Are Understood.

Every one is eager to add to his
fund of information concerning the
japanese. and there are not many lay
men who can tell why the Japs are
understood. Japanese surgeons have
made measurements of their army,
which show that the smallness OF the
stature is due entirely to the almost
dwarfed condition of the legs This
Is no doubt due TO the fact that from
childhood the japanese practices an
unnatural way of sitting upon the legs
When Japanese child is old enough
to sit upon the floor his legs are bent
under him. This in time dwarfs the
growth of the limbs. Actual deform-
fty is less common among the peas
ants than among students, merchants
and others of sedentary habits There
is no doubt the coming japanse. who
are rapidly acquiring Occidental Gus
toms. will change this habit of sitting
