That Physical Abnormality Means Short Life Is a Fact Handed Down Through History.

About as Superstitious as Are Sailors.

"Opening an umbrella in a'workshop is an infallible sign that the thoughtless one will soon receive notice, while the unfortunate girl who lets her scissors fall on their point is in danger of premature decease,” says La Berne in describing the superstitions of the Parisian dressmakers.

The tallest woman in the world died recently. She was eight feet three inches in height, but she lived only thirty-eight years.

At Indianapolis. Great Spectacle of “Cleopatra” Begins Regular

This calls attention to one of nature’s curious contradictions. Giants are notably short lived. Not long since a boy nearly eight feet tall died soon after his eighteenth birthday; and instances where men much above ?even feet in height have reached the age of fifty years are 'almost unknown. Length of days docs not go with excessive length of limb. But tallness which stops short of giantism usually is a sign of vitality. Tall refruits in continental armies—provided they am of proper weight—give least trouble from sickness and gain most from physical training. It must be remembered in this connection that “tallness” is not the same everywhere. Men accounted tall in southern Italy would be rather short in western Scotland or amoilg the native stock of America. _ It is as if nature had fixed a standard height for each race and punished by some physical shortcoming those who varied much from that standard in either direction.

Performance.

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth and newly added spectacle of “Cleopatra” will exhibit in Indianapolis on May 21. The spectacle in itself is an attraction that should fill the big t tent at each performance and draw thousands of visitors from the surrounding districts. It is beyond question the greatest production of its kind over seen in America.^

“If a seamstress places a hair in the hem of any garment she is working on she will soon be the lucky possessor of a similar garment herself. A work girl who uses two needles for the same piece of work is certain to be married sooner or later, while the dressmaker who has patience enough to put aside 200small pins will soon find a fiance.

“The little milliner is just as superstitious as her dressmaking comrade. If she lets a hat fall twice it is almost certain to find a customer, while if she moistens the inside of the crown with the tip of her tongue the purchaser is certain to be de- j lighted with it. A milliner who is unfortunate enough to fit on a bridal hat and veil is condemned to lonely spinsterhood for the rest of her days.

the production. A stage bigger than n hundred ordinary theaters was built and made portable so that it can be conveyed from town to town and erected each day in the main tent. The circus proprietors have thus made it possible for those who live in contributory towns, even farmers and their families, to see the magnificent wordless play that is an immense attraction in the largest cities. It is enacted with a cast of 1,250 actors, a grand opera chorus, an orchestra of 100 soloists, a ballot of 350-dancing girls, fioOghorses, five herds of elephants, caravans of camels, and a trainload of special devices, costumes and scenery and electrical mechanism for producing such effects as lightning, thunder, sand storms on the desert, volcanoes in action, sunrise, Hoods and mirages. The realism of the scenery is perfect. It is as though thetaudience was looking into the streets of Alexandria in the day of Ptolemys. The streets throb with their strange cosmopolitan life. In

producing the best newspapers in the world, not excepting those of New York. The Sunday RecordEl erald,. in foreign news alone, has its own special cable service in addition to those of the New York Herald, World, Journal of Commerce and Associated Press. This is a fair example of the completeness of the paper in every department. Aside from the regular news features, there is something in the Sunday Record-Herald for every member of the family. The sporting pages, both daily and Sunday, give the latest authentic news in every line of sport. The woqiau’s section is tilled with illustrated articles on the newest wridkles in fashion and domestic science. “The People’s Institute of Domestic Economy,” filling a whole page every Sunday, is the newest and best household department in any paper. Dame Curtsey’s “Novelties in Entertainment” is a Valued feature. The dramatic and musical pages, written by James O'Donnell Bennett and Felix Borowski, are admittedly without their equal in the West. The array of splendid special articles by skilled writers finely illustrated, also is typical of the high literary quality of the Record-Herald. In the way of liumor there is the comic colored ,-npplemeiit for children, besides S. Kiser’s delightful “AlteriMting Currents” for everybody.
