Prance. But the average stature of the people la superior there to .and In the central provinces, and especially In the south, men of 6 tee* 8 Inches and 5 feet 10 lnohes are quits common, while six-footers are by no meaus rare. Among the student class, however, from the Japanese officialdom la now almost entirely recruited, abbreviated stature Is frequent. This la largely owing to bodily exercises, the physique having been sacrificed to the develop ment of the mind and Intellectual at tainments. regarded aa the principal title 10 Government employment and to promotion. But In the case of the earlier generations, when the nobles anil samurai, who constituted the gov erning classes by right of birth and had no Incentive to ntudy, devoted all their time to bodily exercises, the of flclalM wore a much taller and flner louklug lot of men. Tn no country of the world la full stature mors highly prised by the peo ple than In Japan. Stunted growth Is « i.sidered In the light of misfor tune and to such an extent does this sentiment prevail that the most extra ordinary precaatlona are adopted to avert everything of 111-omen that ac cording to popular superstition might Interfere with growth. Thus, culldren arc Hlrlctly prohibited from measuring their height. Neither are they allow ed to carry any basket or bundle on their heada. It Is by the use of chairs that Baron Takakl proposes to lncreaae the height of his countrymen. Ha takes the ground that the cases of abbreviated stature among them result from ab normal shortness of the legs, and that this arises from the Japanese custom of sitting on the heels. He argues that In the Instances of stunted stat ure among the Japanese the trunk of the body Is altogether diaproportton ality long and large compared to tne extremities, and byway of demon strating the exactitude of his theory relates that all of his sons are six footers, a circumstance which he as cribes to the fact that he never al lowed them In their childhood and boyhood to squat on their heels, nut luslsted upon their sitting upon high chairs. lie neglected to add that in China, where the people sit on chairs In lieu of squatting on their heels as In Jupan, the standard In height is veryi much greater. Curiously enough the squatting on the heels does not s«em In any way to stunt the growth or affect the phy sique of the people of Central Asia. For some of them are exceedingly tall and handsome men. Nor can It be aald that the cross-legged position in sitting has ever interfered with the bodily development of the Turks, the Arabs, the Moors, etc., all of whom furnish splendid specimens of man hood, the latter being the rulo rather than the exception. Indeed a care ful study of the question would tend to the bellei that the stunted stat ure of a considerable moiety of the Japanese people la due less to their practice of squatting on their heols than to heredity, that la to aay to the fad that many of them are descend ed from the tribes of 'Northern Asia who. possibly, owing to the climate, are usually small. And this belief la strengthen*! by the circumstance that to this day the people In the Northern part of Japan are Interior In height to those of the Southern Islands, the srasllest men being the Ainos of the Northernmost islanda of Yexo. Until the revolution of 10417 In Japan then was but little Intercourse between the various provinces, and cases of Inter marriage between the people of one province with those of another and especially between the Inhabitants ot the Northern Islands and those of the southern portions of the archipelago were as rare as Instances of Intermar riage between members of the rival clans of the Scottish Highlands In olden tlmss. btlnce, nowever, the petty sovereignties of ths Dalmlos have been abolished and the various provinces welded Into one homogenous empire. Intermarriage betwen the people of the North and South haa become more frequent It Is In this meeting of tne tall races of the North with the smaller onee of the North and In the cultivation of athlotlce and calisthenics tLat must be sought the moat effective mcjiod of developing the average stat ure of the llegea of the Mikado. pnfore chrysanthemum! are exhibit ed at the various shows thegr are curled and trilled by specialist* to make them appear to the best advan tage.

Between one hundred and fifty "and TTCttHtfeSl iiSWiCflf HibTtt 1 ptt x in one section of the county is an alarming state of nfbirs, but this is the case in the neißhl>orhood of Dirdens, this county, near the Washington county fine. It was not known that there was any smallpox in the x>unty until last Friday, when Dr. W. K. War ren, couuty health superintendent was uotificd by Dr. Siuithwick of J unesville, of the situation in that community. Dr. Warren went down there Tuesday to investigate and says there are between one hundred and fifty and two hundred cases in the vicinity of Dardens which section borders on Washing ton county. He says there is no smallpox anywhere else in the county, and the reason it has gain ed such a headway is because the people of that section kept it a see ret in tegard to any one having the disease. The health officer has ordered all places where the disease exists quarantined and that everybody in that section l»e vaccinated at once, which orders are being carried out by Dr. Stnithwick By this means it is hoped that the disease will soon be stamped out there. Dr. War reu says that he intends to enforce the law to the letter and all who refuse to be vaccinated will be ar rested and the fine which is pres cribed by law will be impased, which is 550 or imprisonment of thirty days.

MAKE WILLIAMSTON THIRD CLASS 1 expenditure of £2OO Will save Cit izens 30 Per Cent on Insurance Rates. Mx. EDITOR; From an exnininalion of the rule book of the SouthrEisterii Tariff Association, which fixes the rates for all fire insurance here I learn that by a small expenditure ou our present fire-fighting equip ment, our town would lie changed from fourth to third class. The change wtttld mean a reduction of rates on an average of 75 cents on the liunered, or reduction of 30 per cent from our present rate. Our equipment was bought for about SBOO, and with an addition al outlay of about S2OO the town would save nearly enough each year to pay for the whole equip ment. As it now stands, not the town but the insurance companies get the lienefit of our fire depart ment, so far as the reduction of in sittance risk goes. This article Is written to call af-1 tentiou to the fact that it may lie investigated and improved, and that our insurance rates may lie reduced. I have no doubt our commissioners will lie glad to take the necessary steps. Everybody in town has witness ed the efficiency of the equipment, its protection to property, and we ought to have the benefit of it in insurance rates. S. J. EVKRKTT. Bill riILL AT JA/IKSVILLE.
