The average stature of the pygmies that have been measured is about four feet eight inches, but the beat authorities in anthropology say that the real average limit of stature is five feet. Some are taller than that. The pygmies have been found in eight or ten different places in Cen- tral Africa, but wherever found•they possess certain striking resemblances. The plant furnishing the covering for their huts is the same in tile widely separated regions visited gy Stanley and others, and the shape of the huts, a rough hemisphere, is the same.

TRY AND HATCH ONE A vegetarian had an amusing ex perience the other morning at break- fast. His family were out of town, and he went to a restaurant, and took a seat next to a stranger. The vege- tarian took occasion to advertise his creed by telling the stranger that all meat was injurious, and that the hu- man diet should be strictly vegetar- ian. "But," replied the stranger, "I sel- dom eat meat." "You just ordered eggs," said the vegetarian. "An egg is practically meat, because it eventually becomes a bird." "The kind of eggs 11 eat never be- come birds," answered the stranger quietly. "Good gracious," cried the vegetar- ian, "what kind of eggs do you eat?" "Principally boiled eggs, sir."— Pearson's Weekly. RARE BLUE -SKINNED MEN APPEAR IN REAL LIFE The recent death in New York of Barnum's famous "blue man," Cap- tain Frederick Walters, has revived interest in these human freaks. Wal- ter is the best known "blue man," because he was the best advertised, but men of his peculiar shade have occasionally appeared in fiction, and not infrequently in real life. Wilkie Collins featured a blue man in one of his stories, and "The Blue Dwarf" is one of Sir Walter Scott's novels, though seldom read nowa- days. A few decades ago London society was somewhat startled by the ap- pearance of a blue man of high in- tellectual attainments and rare charm of conversation. On one occasion he was a guest at a large party, and naturally the centre of attraction. Mrs. Langtry, "The Jersey Lily," then at the height of her popularity, was much intrigued by his indigo complexion, The famous actress sought enlight- enment from a lady sitting next to her: "Who is that man with a blue face?" she asked. "Is he an adver- tisement for Reckitt'* blue, or what." "No, madam," came the freezing answer. "He is not an advertise- ment. Re is a distinguished gentle- man—and my husband!" Mrs. Langtry was not in the ,least abashed. "Oh, I am so glad I spoke to you," she gushed. "You are the only one who can answer a question I am dy- ing to ask. Tell me, is he blue all over?" A new process for the mechanical manufacture of plate glass of uni- form quality and high polish has been discovered in Bohemia. A metal band to surround a stove pipe from which extend wire racks. cm which utensils or clothing can be dried has been patented. GERMANY WITHOUT REAL MONEY NOW Decline of the German mark quo- tation in the foreign exchange mark- et last week to a point where more than 6,000,000 marks were required to give a purchasing power equiva- lent to that of a dollar brought into immediate prospect the termination of Germany's disastrous dependence upon the printing presses. At home, as in the markets of the world, the usefulness of the mark has been viti- ated and to -day Germany stands tually as a country without a cur- rency of its own. Foreign currencies are now used for purposes of calcula tion and have come to a large extent to supplant the mark in circulation. The result of the increase i paper mark circulation at the rate, more than 5,000,000,000,000 marks a week and of the consequent decline in its purchasing power has been to create a very serious money stringency within Germany. Neither the banks have been able to meet the demands of their customers nor the Reichs- hank the demands of the banks. Recent experience naturally points to the example of Russia as most likely to he followed, although in view of the restricted intercourse of Rus- sia with outside nations, even greater safeguards, it is thought, would have to he built up around any currency that is substituted for the mark. The experiment of trying to do business in worthless paper having failed Rus- sia adopted the expedient of central- izing such gold as remained to her and placing this, with the jewels car- ried over from the Czarist regime, as the reserve for a new currency. The excess zeros that decorated the paper Soviet rubles, giving them nominally a fantastic value, were lopped off and arrangements made for securing, -the Same bankele''.V,O °tgitie•'studi0 the eituatian ;a Iter .,lonely believe that Germany Will ahartl a follew the, precedent set by Rusaid. They om phasize, hos+ever, that In the case of Germany any currency to be intro- duced must be held to a gold basis. A departure from such a foundation, it is believed, would,•so long as the reparations question is not adjusted, lead inevitably to a collapse paral- leling that of the present mark. Until some new currency project is devised Germany is expected to get along as best she can on the present unsatisfactory basis, To a certain extent the requirements for circula- tion will be met by dollars, of which Germany is known to have a fairly large supply. Until two years ago it was a regular procedure for Ger- many to return such United States currency as happened to be received. Lately there have been no such ship- ments and the tendency has been to increase the supply within Germany of such bills from every available source and in every practicable way. In addition to the dollars, curren- cies of almost all the countries of Europe are being employed to supply the deficit in circulation resulting from the virtual elimination of the mark. One banker reports that the balance sheet of a small industrial company in Germany showed a cash item, including the currencies of sev- enteen different nations. Doubt is expressed that Germany's foreign balances will be withdrawn from abroad to any considerable ex- tent to meet the currency shortage, although this may be done in extreme cases. The uncertainties of the situ- ation are such that Germans natur- ally prefer to keep their resources so far as possible in foreign countries where their seizure or heavy taxation is not so likely. Moreover, the man in the street who will be chiefly af- fected by the- situation controls no foreign balances. These are in the hands of the men of great wealth and of the industries. ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN Carola Drehman is the first wo- man in Germany to take up gliding. In Baden a woman officiates as minister of the gospel in a women's prison. Georgia and Arkansas were the last states to admit women to practice law. A woman optician in Brooklyn has an entire building devoted to her business. Miss Ethel Coolidge, cousin of President Coolidge, has given up so- ciety to act in the movies. An athletic club in Easton, Pas., formerly controlled only by men, is now in sole control of woman officers, Mrs. Palmer Jerman, of Raleigh, N. C., has been appointed a director of She Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad. Lillian Johnson, a mere slip of a girl, directs by megaphone a fleet of tugboats operating in San Francisco harbor. New York City is increasing its already large corps of policewomen. Miss Marie Kelly ,once librarian for J. Pierpont Morgan, now controls one of the largest fur trading posts in Siberia: Three American women are spend- ing three months in France and Eng- land under scholarships awarded by institutions in those countries. New York City will have the largest political clubhouse for women in the world upon eempletion of the Women's National Republican Club. Florence E. Allen, judge in the, superior court in Ohio, holds the highest post of any woman in this country, although there are a num- ber on the bench in lesser positions. Helene Burnlaux, of Belgium, has been elected president of the Inter- national Federation of Working Women, succeeding -Mrs. Raymond Robbins, of Chicago, who declined re- nominatigp. The oldest museum in the United States and one of the best organized is the Charleston museum at Charles- ton, S. C., where the director and curator is a woman, Miss Laura M. Bragg. FOURTEEN MILLIONS LOST IN YEAR'S FOREST FIRES Canada's bill for damages sustain- ed by reason of Forest fires during the past rive years averages $14,500,- 000 annually. The number of forest fires averaged 5,779 a year and the causes of this shocking display of vandalism were nine times in ten hu- man recklessness. Campers account- ed for 24 per cent. of all these fires; settlers burning slash started 22 per cent.; lightning 10 per cent.; and rail- ways, 26 per cent. The figure charg- ed to railways is, however, an unfair index of responsibility. In the first place, practically all fires started, or said to be started, from railway lines are instantly reported. This is not true of campers and settlers .and lightning fires. Again, the majority of railway fires, being quickly detect- ed, are quickly put out so that as timber destroyers the railway lines have fallen to h minor position. The problem of land Bearing fires started by settlers anti running into the green timber is one of the most aggravated and complex. Settlers in newly developed districts must use fire to clean up the debris and natur- ally wish to choose hot and danger- ous weather when burning conditions are hest. This inevitably means that for the clearing of farms Canada has paid a tremendous forfeit in destroy- ed timber. Much has been done, how- ever, to make the process of land clearing safe by issuing permits far burning and supervising the opera- tion thryugh officers of the Forest! Services.

CONCERNING SQUEAKS As I started sot for the movies the other evening, I halted to speak to my friend, Basvru. Bassett, by the way, was squatted half under his new Thunderbolt car. which stood at the kerb. "Hello, Basset:." I said; "what's trouble?" Bassett, in sl• to of the heat, was smoking furiouw.'y, and there was a worried frown on his forehead. "A squeak," he said, removing his cigar momentarily. "I've just had the old bus a ninth, but a squeak's developed somewhere up in front here, and to save my life I can't lo- cate it," "A squeak!" I scoffed. "Why bother with a mere squeak?" "It gets on my nerves," explained Bassett. "Hearing that eternal squeak, squeak, squeak, mile after mile, almost drives me crazy." "It shouldn't be so hard to find," I remarked, moving closer. "Try it," said Bassett sardonically, and rising heavily he gave the body a push that resulted in --an unmistak- able series of squeaks. "Start it swaying again," I said, squatting near the running board and stretching an attentive ear, at the same time loosening the knees of my new cream flannel trousers to prevent them from bagging. We had just about decided that the left mudguard harbored the madden- ing squeak when Latchford came along. Latchford was on his way to visit his sister in North Toronto, but when he learned what we were doing —or rather attempting to do—he en- tered into the quest as heartily as either of us. Is less than half an hour he was lying on Itis back be- neath the car, with a wide smear of grease across his face from ear to' nose, straining his hearing appairt- us to place the elusiye squeak, while Bassett and I'took turns in rocking the car. About nine o'clock it became evi- dent that we were mistaken, particu- larly when Thompson, who was on his way' to the drugstore for an ice- cream brick—company ;had unexpect- edly`arrived at his house—stopped, became interested, and crouching on hands and knees in the roadway, re- ported that the squeak emanated un- mistakably from, the radiator. After some argument and further tests Latchford and Bassett both corrob- orated his finding. It was felt that since Thompson had shown his competency by really isolating the squeak, to him should go the honor of crawling underneath the radiator and fixing the position of the noise so definitely that treatment with oil or a wrench would cure it. Thus while Thompson did this, Latch- ford and I crouched on all fours near the right and left front wheels re- spectively, and Bassett once more proceeded to manufacture squeaks by pushing. When the light began to fail, Saunders, who happened along on his way down to the car line to meet his wife, volunteered to go back and get his searchlight, and with its help the search for the squeak was prose- cuted with renewed energy. After a time Saunders became so engrossed in the business that he surrendered the light to Latchford, and himself crawled in beside Thompson. Within forty minutes Saunders and Thompson had reduced the possible locations of the squeak to two—a loose nut on a connecting rod and a wabbly brace a few inches from it. In some excitement Saunders called for a wrench. There is little doubt that in a few moments at most the objectionable squeak would have been stilled forever had it not been for an annoying interruption. The interruption came in the per-' son of Mrs. Thompson, who caused a scene that was totally uncalled for. In loud tones she asked Thompson whether he hadn't stayed long enough, adding that the visitors had got tired waiting for his return with the ice-cream and had gone home. With a muttered apology to us, Thompson vanished into the night with his wife. No sooner had we resumed work than who should appear hut Saun- ders' wife. r had always had a sort of instinctive dislike for Mrs. Saun- ders, and I found now that instinct had not led me astray. The row she raised was something, disgusting— and all because Saunders, the poor beggar, had 1 a gg delayed, a little in meet- ing her at the car. Thus we lost -Saunders. Undismayed, we tackled the job a- fresh. But it was a night of inter- ruptions. Just as I had got a strangle hold on the suspected nut: with` wrench, Mrs. Bassett came out andtold Bassett that if be thought she fiord I et? lM, OS r P *416 k .le *that* juga O` hl.. have tp 1 t the, aggeak, go 1l' ° night, e;rid we ere wafd !sig bfa' tail -light fade . in the distance, ' One unpleasant'thiug; it ace ns,, ter. ways leads to another.' When .I reached home shortly after eleven o'clock, my wife. appeared to be in a very bad temper. She at once drew sarcaatic attention to the oil ataine on my cream flannels, the split in the back of my silk shirt, and the fact that my appearance was slight- ly mussed. I pointed out, whenever I could edge in a word, that had I gone to the- movies I. should have anent at least forty cents, which amount I had saved by my change of plan—but she simply ignored that, In the middle of our conversation, Mrs. Latchford 'phoned to find out whether Latchford had really spent the evening as he claimed. My wife answered the ring, a'nd the conversa- tion that followed between them was eo unfair, silly, and biased that I went to bed without listening to it. However, I heard all about it later from my`wife. After considerable thought, I have decided to have nothing more to do with squeaks. Although the China- man got most of the oil out of my. cream flannels, I have enough tight squeaks at home without hunting for them elsewhere. it HOAX SENDS FLOOD OF CATS TO MOSCOW; CAT SNATCHERS CLEAN UP WHOLE CITY Vladimar Gezikavitch, a Russian tallow merchant, who arrived lust week on the American liner Mongolia from Ojinckikoff, near Nijni-Novgo- rod, where the famous fair is still held annually, said that the whole of northern Europe was being denuded of cats through a notice printed in the newspapers in Moscow and Petro- grad. It was sent to the editors by a practical joker under a fictitious signature, and stated that the soviet government had just purchased 10,- 000 cats at 260,000 rubles each, to be sent to the Don Valley to exterminate rats, so that the land could be colonized by the Russian refugees rom Turkey and Egypt. Since the early days of the war the land had laid fallow and rats had multiplied there so fast that they overrun the country and were now numbered in millions. Government officials,: who were sent to survey the landvecently, Mr. Gezikavitch said, were. surrounded by armies of these rodents and had to climb trees and wait until armor- ed cars were sent from Moscow to rescue them. It was this plague of' rats that had helped the joker to get his announcbnient into the Russian press. Since it appeared a reward of 5,000,000 rubles, $5 in American cur- rency, was offered by the police for the arrest of the offender. Ordinary news travels slowly in Russia to -day but the reports that the government was eager to pay 260,009 roubles apiece for cats spread like chain lightning throughout the country. Within forty-eight hours of its appearance in print cats were being shipped from Petrograd and Odessa to Moscow, addressed to the soviet officers in the Kreinlin with the Hank of the sender attached and the address where the amount in roubles was to be sent. Grouchikeff, the chief animal in- spector, was sent for and told the authorities higher hp that he did not need any cats and had bought several tons of poison to settle the rats in the Don Valley. The crates . filled with fretful felines arrived so fast in Moscow that the officials of the government did not know what to do with them. The meowings 'lof jthe assembled cats were so terrific and kept the dvornaks, as the night watchmen are called, awake so long that they became nervous. People found that their pet cats were being stolen by organized bands of cat snatchers, who went about at night carrying bags to smother the cries of the animals when they were snatched up at the garden gate. In vain the soviet issued notices, said the tallow merchant, stating that they did not want cats even if they were offered free of charge and carriage paid. It was too late. The news had passed through Russia to Finland, Latvia, Esthonia and to the lYilsliisi',ti It insures tial t' at is fresh. fragrant and' pre - Try it. Scandinavian countries. Interest was added to the boom in cats by offers from the fur mer- chants to buy the skins if the gov- ernment did not want the animals. At Helsingefors, Finland, a gang of cat snatchers cleaned up the city in two days. So fur the government has declin- ed to buy any of the cats and has held up the order for the shipment of poison to kill the rats in the valley of the great. River Don, so that the exiles from Turkey, Greece and the Near East have not been able to re- turn to Russia and start to culti- vate the land which was formerly one of the great granaries of Europe, Mr. Gezikavitch said. MAN 6F MYSTERY -IS CALVIN COOLIDGE Either Calvin Coolidge is one of the most extraordinary men who have be- come President of the United States or he is the most commonplace. This can easily be proved by the anecdotes that have been collected by an indus- trious press for a hungry public. They are probably the most jejune collec- tion ever made, and if one views them in this light he will find vast pleas- ure in reading them. Careful search has failed to reveal a single incident in his career, a single remark in the slightest degree out of the ordinary. The record has been examined close- ly. His relatives, and friends, his fellow students and his fellow legis- lators have been questioned and each has told whatever he thought worth telling about the President and the sum ,total amounts to ex- actly nothing, but for the fact that Mr. Coolidge has become President of the United States as the result of a great tragedy. The subject of the reminiscences was a member of the Massachusetts Legislature; he be- came Governor of the State; then as a result of conditions which he did nothing to create, he was nom- inated for the Vice -Presidency, and when the President died he became President. Nothing else seems ever to have happened to him, and nothing seems ever to have made sufficient impres- sion upon him to have produced a profound or humorous remark. To say this is not to speak with disre- spect about Mr. Coolidge. Indeed, he appears to have been always held in the highest respect by those with whom he came in contact, and the fact that he lacks a gift for witty speech is not an implication that he will not make a wise President. Yet the truth is that the American people have never yet chosen for President the sort of that that Mr. Coolidge appears to bel Nevertheless he seems at the present time to be the moat likely of possible Re- publican candidates. He may be re- nominated to succeed himself. In the meantime, almost nothing is known about what sort of man he is by the genial public, . That is why there hat been suet a feverish search for anecdotes that my throw light upon his character, and it is amazing what little light they throw, if we may judge by those which our eye has, lighted on. That he is rather a shy, reserved man, little given to speech was known before. His most intimate friend is Mr. Frank W. Stearns, of Boston, and Mr. Stearns says their- total conver- sation over a period of -three or four years would not fill more than three! or four hours of solid talk. His ' roommate at Amherst College says that Mr. Coolidge went to the col- lege in September, 1891, and that the first he heard from him was in the following May.- Mr. Coolidge himself is quoted _aa saying: !Tye usually /been able• to make noise enough to. get "w'hakt'I ,wanted." A prominent mandfacturer. . travelled with him from Boston to Spring& and in that time heard the GGoo as he was then, say "yes" setts times and "good -day" when he left the train. On another occasion lie went with a party to the theatre to see a very amusing play, but be sat silent through it without moving his features. A few days later he re- marked that it was an admirable show and that he had been to see it once by himself. At the reception that followed his odyn wedding, one of the guests inquired, "Who's that *reddish -haired fellodv standing ,over there by himseelf?" "That? Why that's the bride- groom." "Oh, I thought it was one of the mutes." When he was in the Legislature he approved a certain bill that bad been denounced as radical. A friend argued against it, and pointed out that among other things it was un- constitutional. "Dorman,' said Mg. Coolidge, "you're bothered with a legal mind." Somebody once asked him if he played golf on Sunday and he replied: I had a grandmother. She was a *Baptist. She don't" Once when he was a law student be won a medal for an essay. The head of' the firm noted the an- nouncement in a newspaper and asked Calvin if it was correct. "Yes," he replied. "Where's the medal?" "Here," he answered, pulling open a drawer of his desk. "Have you told your father?" "No," said the young man. "Would you?" A boyhood neighbor testifies that, "he was an odd sort of a stick. He used to ask the girls to go out with )rim but; most of them would sort of snub hint—only go with him if no one else asked them" When he returned on his vacations he used to get out an old smock that had been used by his grandfather for farm work, and as the sprightly chronicler of this anecdote remarks, "The neighbors admit that it was a very handy garment to keep the clothes clean." As he was leaving his father's home for Washington about four hours after he had be- come President, he noticed that a stone step leading to the porch was a little out of place, and turning to his father. be said 'earnestly: "Bet- ter have that fixed, father." When the newspaper photographers asked him to pose beside his father as he had stood when the oath was ad- ministered to him he refused, say- ing: "It is too sacred a thing." Nevertheless, we havee a strong re- collection of having seen just such a portrait. There are other anec- dotes, all about as rich as the fore- going. It is a Vice -President rather than a President that they reveal. It may be the strong, silent man, or it may be the silent man_ Probably there has been. no President who was so great a mystery to his fellow countrymen when he took office as Mr. Collidge. i -I SIZES m Gas rear wil.daa SJe &- GraaTs'aaar.amnd.. �A1 tte far dol.td -ever* — Amore ,-trivet The NALLIDAY COMPANY, Ltmtted TORO.
